"Fourth brother, do you not believe me?" Wang Luojing's little face was a little broken.
"Fourth brother, I suggest you listen to that girl." The older Wang Luotong also came over, "Although Luo Jing is young, she likes to play with bugs very much since she was a child. insect."
"Interesting~" Wang Shouzhe regained his energy all of a sudden, and said with burning eyes, "Talk to the fourth brother first, how do you deal with the honey bugs, don't rush and talk slowly, we have plenty of time."
"In recent years, I have always heard my grandfather complain that there are too many honey bugs, and the food is not as much as in previous years." Wang Luojing said weakly, "So I think, if I can solve the honey bugs for grandpa, grandpa will be very happy. I can ask Grandpa begs, don't marry my sister, I don't want my sister to leave~"
Wang Luotong's face turned pale all of a sudden, he lowered his head and dared not speak. It's not her turn to decide this kind of thing.
"If you can really solve the honey bug disaster, the fourth brother promises to protect you." Wang Shouzhe promised firmly, "As long as you don't want to marry, we won't marry."
"Thank you, fourth brother." Wang Luojing said happily, "Actually, I have read from the "Insect Classic" that the ancients used lacewings to treat honey worms, but in recent years there have been fewer and fewer lacewings. .Last year I raised some honey worms and lacewings, and it really worked, so this year I entrusted my brother to go to the mountains to catch two king lacewings. I spent some time to domesticate them... "
"Wait..." Wang Shouzhe's face changed, "What is the "Insect Classic", and you can domesticate the lacewing king?"
"The Insect Classic is the Insect Classic, an ancient book I found from the family library." Wang Luojing said innocently, "The Insect Classic says how to domesticate insects is not difficult. If you want to learn from my fourth brother, I can teach you."
It's not that hard!
Wang Shouzhe's face was a little dark. He had integrated the memories of his previous life and knew a lot about the Xuanwu world. There is such a small group of people in the Xuanwu world who like to produce or fight by controlling spirit insects, and they are usually called spirit insect masters.
However, spirit insect masters are relatively partial, and the threshold for talent requirements is relatively high, even higher than the threshold for alchemists. The reason is also very simple. Ordinary people who are smarter can barely learn alchemy. At most, it consumes a lot of money and their achievements are limited.
But for a profession like a spirit insect master, if you don't have the rare talent to communicate with spirit insects, you won't even be able to find the door.
Therefore, spirit insect masters are very partial, and children from ordinary families have never heard of them. As far as Wang Shouzhe knew, the Xu family in Changning and the Liu family in Shanyin secretly trained two spirit insect masters.
If Wang Luojing had the talent of a spirit insect master...
For a moment, Wang Shouzhe's heart started beating.
"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you, fourth brother?" Wang Luojing waved her hand in front of him, pouted and said angrily, "Does it mean that fourth brother doesn't believe it?"
"Trust, letter." Wang Shouzhe nodded fiercely, "My family Luo Jing is the smartest, and the fourth brother is very interested. Let's go a little farther, and you can show it to the fourth brother."
"Yeah, those two lacewing kings are in the fourth brother's carriage." After being recognized, Wang Luojing seemed very happy, "My sister and I will go get it together."
Wang Shouzhe suddenly remembered that when he saw the pair of sisters this morning, he found that each of them was carrying a strange big box. At that time, he thought it was their personal belongings. It is not easy for girls to interfere with their personal belongings, so they just put them in the carriage. superior.
Now that I think about it, they should have planned to come to the farm for a try.
"Let the general go." Wang Shouzhe beckoned.
The family who was waiting in the distance immediately ran over quickly and said respectfully: "Patriarch, what are your orders?"
"Wang Wu, Wang Yong. Go to the carriage and bring Miss Luo Jing's two boxes."
"Yes, Patriarch."
The two families will fly away, extremely fast. Within half a quarter of an hour, they each rushed back carrying a box.
"Wang Gui, Wang Wu, you guys go to the Fourth Old Master and see if you can help." Wang Shouzhe dismissed them all. Anyway, he saw that Wang Xiaozhi seemed to be trying to control aphids with plant ash juice and other methods. , should be a shortage of manpower.
The generals are all basalts, and they are much more efficient than ordinary tenant farmers when they are used well.
The most important thing is that the matter has not been determined, and he does not want to make it known to everyone.
After Wang Gui and the other four generals left, Wang Shouzhe personally carried two large boxes, and led Wang Luotong and Wang Luojing to the remote wheat field.
Three thousand and hundreds of acres of land is like a vast ocean. There is no one here, just right for a demonstration.
Wang Shouzhe turned over the ears of wheat, and sure enough, there were some green aphids in the wheat field here. Those tiny insects made his hair stand on end.
"Luo Jing, let the fourth brother see your methods."
"Hmm~ The recruitment of the honey bug outbreak this time is earlier than I expected." Wang Luojing also had a dignified and apprehensive expression, and she carefully opened one of the boxes.
Wang Shouzhe glanced into the box curiously, and suddenly he suffered from intensive phobia, and his hairs stood on end, because the box was full of leaves, and those leaves grew out strings, hanging on it. Dense dots.
"Fourth brother, sister, please help me." Wang Luojing took out pieces of "leaves", "Place a leaf for each square foot."
The corner of Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched, this little girl is really courageous, even the patriarch dared to order her around at will. But his hands and feet were very honest, and he obeyed Wang Luojing's orders. His cultivation was so advanced that he grabbed a "leaf" and tossed it casually, and the "leaf" landed firmly on the spot.
According to Wang Luojing's "instructions", dozens of leaves need to be planted for each mu of wheat field, but she only opened one of the two big boxes, and there are only hundreds of "leaves", which can be put into ten mu of land. For thousands of acres of wheat fields, it is just a drop in the bucket.
After spending a quarter of an hour, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Luotong stood near Wang Luojing, listening to her orders and waiting patiently.
"Fourth brother, these lacewing eggs are three-day-old." Wang Luojing explained, "In the dark box, they will hatch slowly. Once they see the sun, they will hatch soon."
Alright~ You are a master of technology in this area, what do you say.
Regarding the blind spots of his own knowledge, Wang Shouzhe has always been very honest and never overstepped. Time passed little by little, and within half an hour, the few leaves that had just been placed on the tree changed, and strange-looking bugs broke out of their shells with difficulty.
Those leaves were right in front of my eyes, and I could clearly see those little bugs. They were about two millimeters in size, and they looked like long strip beetles, but they looked very ugly with two big pincers in front of their heads.
After they were born, they were motionless, hanging on the silk so quietly.
After another half hour, they finally started to move, slid down on the leaves in a silky shape, and slowly spread in all directions. They seemed to be able to sense where there was food, and climbed up the straw leisurely. .
Suddenly!
One of them encountered an aphid, it jumped on it fiercely, grabbed the aphid with a pair of pliers, pierced the aphid's body with its mouthparts and began to suck. In just half an hour, the poor aphid was sucked. It became an empty shell, and it flew away when the wind blew.
Then, the lacewing larva continues to climb forward, looking for the next prey.
"Awesome!" Wang Shouzhe exclaimed, "This little bug is really fierce."
"Fourth brother, I calculated when raising lacewing larvae that it only takes ten days to pupate, and can eat nearly a thousand honey worms during this period. It was relatively small when it was born, and it could only eat ten honey worms a day for the first two days. A few." Wang Luojing has been playing with this kind of thing, and it will be no surprise by then.
"If this is the case, although the yield of the more than ten acres of wheat fields that have just begun to fill will decrease a little, it will be saved." While admiring, Wang Shouzhe said worriedly, "It's just that our Fenggu Farm alone has thousands of acres of wheat. what."
"Fourth brother, don't worry, I just tried it just now." Wang Luojing opened another box, which was no longer densely packed with lacewing larvae, but small beetles with bright colors.
"Isn't this..." Wang Shouzhe couldn't help being surprised when he saw those beetles looked familiar, "Is it a seven-star ladybug?"
"Does the fourth brother know him too? But the Insect Classic says it's a nine-spotted beetle, not a seven-spotted beetle." Wang Luojing took out a fist-sized giant beetle with nine spots on its body, and caressed happily. You Nine Star Insect King."
