Chapter 329 The Danger of Blind Touch

As soon as these rock chickens were released from the net bag, they immediately scattered and fled, and after a while, they completely plunged into the darkness.Liu Junhao was afraid that they would escape along the waterway, so he blocked them with bricks early.In the evening, the water ducks in Qingzhuang have already returned to their nests to sleep, and the chubby chickens scattered in the courtyard are not afraid of being pecked and eaten.

Not to mention... the trick of the rock chicken to catch mosquitoes is very effective, and the situation quickly improved.In ten minutes, the number of mosquitoes in the courtyard decreased rapidly, and those annoying buzzing noises disappeared.

Before a few people began to rejoice, Xiaopi suddenly jumped out of the nest, and then ran under the peach tree, screaming wildly.

"What's on the tree?" Liu Junhao immediately turned on the lantern.

As the light flickered, a black shadow among the branches and leaves of the peach tree jumped into the night sky, and then disappeared.

"Owl?!" Professor Zhao also saw the shadow.

"It's not like, I didn't hear the sound of flapping wings just now." Liu Junhao replied with some uncertainty. He saw the black shadow shape just now and thought it looked like a big bat, but he also knew it was impossible. The thing seemed to spread its wings. Fifty or sixty centimeters long, it's really that big a bat, it's not perfect!
When it was completely cool down, Liu Junhao didn't think about eating. When he asked Professor Zhao and his wife, it turned out that they didn't eat either.

After the four of them discussed it, they decided to do a barbecue in the courtyard. There was still a piece of mutton in the refrigerator of Professor Zhao's house. It was intended to be made into dumplings, but now it happened to be used for kebabs.

Although Liu Junhao is not good at kebabs, at least it is no problem to cook them well.In addition, he has a good grasp of the ingredients, so it tastes very good.

But it didn't take long for the stall to be set up before trouble arose.The raging flames attracted many blind people.These guys are no different from moths. As soon as they see the light, they immediately throw themselves into the flames regardless of their own lives.After a while, more than a dozen of them fell on the charcoal fire, and a burnt smell rose from the fire.

Blind touch is a kind of insect that is common at night in summer. Its appearance is similar to that of chicken dingding, which often looks for trouble in chicken manure, but the color of the back of this thing is turquoise, and it mainly feeds on leaves.Blind touch is the same as cicada, it can also be eaten.Life was difficult when I was a child, and I couldn't eat any meat for a month, so many people ate it blindly.Pour this thing into water and rinse it for half a day, then mix it with salt, fry it in a small pot and eat it with pancakes. It is said that it is crispy and crispy, which can make people drool.Liu Junhao always thinks this thing is scary, and he has never eaten it once, but he often catches it with Liu Qiyong in an iron bucket when he is free.

It’s okay to know, most of them are lying on the tree trunks, blindly touching different things, and they are everywhere. Therefore, when catching them, you need to lower your head and stare wide-eyed on the ground. As long as you find a bunch of black and flickering things, reach out and touch them. I can touch one.When you are lucky, you can even touch "Qian Chuanzi", seven or eight of them together.However, there are also unlucky times, either touching chicken manure, sheep manure or eggs, or small stones.The child didn't care much about this, just rubbed it on the ground twice and continued to touch it.It wasn't until eleven or twelve o'clock when the adults in the family called home that the children reluctantly returned home with their trophies.

At that time, there were a lot of blind encounters. Liu Junhao could catch at most half a bucket in one night, and feed his own chickens and ducks after catching them back.

As soon as he told the story, Zhang Qian started to yell: "Husband, don't talk about it, besides, I can't even eat the mutton skewers. If you want to eat, you can pick it yourself. There are many here." .”

"Why are there so many?" Mr. Zhao flicked the cattail fan left and right to prevent those blind touches from approaching.But this is useless work at all, those guys are very phototropic, and in a short while, hundreds of them will fly.There is more and more trend of blind encounters, and a few people can only end the barbecue party extremely depressed.

Seeing that several people were not full, Liu Junhao took out half a watermelon from the house and cut it open.

Eating a watermelon that is as sweet as honey and looking at the bright moon in the sky gives people an indescribable warmth.

At this time, the summer heat has completely dissipated, the night is as cool as water, the breeze gently blows the treetops, and at the same time brings bursts of lotus fragrance.

The frogs in the backyard kept chirping, which added a bit of tranquility to this summer night.

It was almost eleven o'clock before Professor Zhao and his wife went back to bed.

Zhang Qian looked at the time, there was an hour before the vegetables she grew would be ready, and she planned to go to bed after picking the vegetables.Liu Junhao was afraid that she would stay up late, so he forced his wife into bed.

"It's raining." They just lay down on the bed, and immediately heard rustling outside.

"No way..." Liu Junhao leaned over to the window and took a look, the moon outside was bright.

"What's that sound? Let's go out and have a look." The more Zhang Qian heard it, the more she felt something was wrong, and she quickly sat up on the bed.

"It should be the sound of the wind blowing the leaves." Liu Junhao was a little sleepy at first, and didn't want to get out of bed to turn on the light.

"Why is this wind sound so strange?" Zhang Qian always felt wrong when she heard the sound, it seemed to be the rustling sound of spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves.

"Xiafeng is like this, go to sleep." Liu Junhao yawned and fell asleep.

A night without dreams...

The next morning, Liu Junhao was still lying on the bed and sleeping late, Zhang Qian suddenly stood outside the door and shouted: "Husband, come out and see what happened to the poplar in our yard?"

"What's the matter, bugs?" It was really difficult for him to move, mainly because he slept too late last night.

"The leaves of the poplar tree are all gone, and the trunk is bare. Get up quickly." Zhang Qian yelled for a long time and saw nothing from her husband, and finally resorted to scratching her armpits.

"Get up, get up" Liu Junhao immediately surrendered.

As soon as he was dressed, Zhang Qian dragged him out of the courtyard.

"I X" saw the scene on the poplar tree, and Liu Junhao thumped and fell to the ground.

Overnight, the poplar tree changed its appearance, and all the palm-sized poplar leaves on it disappeared, leaving only bare branches facing the sky.Then I turned my head to look at the pear tree next to me, and I also encountered such bad luck.

"Honey, what do you think this is about?" Zhang Qian looked up for a long time, but couldn't find the culprit.

"What else can it be, of course it's a blind touch." Liu Junhao replied quite depressed.He now knew what that rustling sound was last night, it must have been the sound of blind people chewing leaves.

"They have such a great ability?!" Zhang Qian couldn't believe it.It is possible for the little insects to harm one or two leaves, but how much would it take to eat up these poplar trees overnight.

"Touching blindly, everything is possible." Liu Junhao walked around the poplar tree, pointed to the poplar leaves with only the veins left by his subordinates, and said, "Look, these guys are just under the hidden leaves." A few leaves were lifted, and the insides were churned out.

"Xiaohao, is your poplar tree eaten by some insects?" Professor Zhao hurried over before breakfast was started.

"Well, it's blind touches, let's see how many there are." As Liu Junhao flipped the leaves, more and more blind touches came out, and those hens immediately swooped up when they saw the delicious food.

"There are too many of these things, and there were not so many of them last year. It must be the reason for the continuous rain. Their natural enemies missed the best chance to prey, so they flooded. It must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise the autumn in the field There are piles of grubs, and the production of peanuts is about to decrease." Professor Zhao's old profession is to eliminate pests, so he naturally talked about it clearly.

"Grub, why is it related to this thing?" Liu Junhao asked suspiciously.He knew grubs, which lived underground and mainly harmed the roots of plants. People in the countryside called them soil silkworms.

"Stupid, grubs are just the larvae of Bumblebee, and Bumblebee is also called scarab, you know that?"

"I really don't know..." He replied awkwardly.Before, I only knew that Bianpeng came out of the ground, but I never thought that it still had a larval stage.

"It's really strange. You said that it didn't eat the leaves of so many poplars planted in the woods in front of our door. Why did it choose ours?" Zhang Qian glanced at the woods through the ditch, and then asked again.

"That's because the leaves of your poplar trees grow well, and you will be picky if you touch them." Professor Zhao joked with a smile.

Liu Junhao knew that the spring water was probably the reason for it. It seemed that the spring water did not blindly bring benefits to people.

When Liu Junhao went to visit the village in the morning, he realized that not only his trees had been damaged, but also more than a dozen big poplar trees by the roadside at the head of the village had been gnawed bare.

"Why don't you spray medicine? The village pays for some medicine for killing blinds. Let's beat the straw piles one by one." Liu Qihua suggested.

"What kind of medicine do you use? Do you know about sustainable development? You've learned it in vain?" Liu Guangju immediately objected, "After this blind touch is wiped out, it will definitely be preyed on by other birds, which will also kill the birds. poison."

This book is well-deserved, and you can get in touch with the **** after killing a few blind touches. Liu Junhao now only admires it.

"Then what should we do, why don't we mobilize the whole village to get up at night to touch it? I don't want to touch that thing..." Liu Qihua then asked back.

"Stupid, what time do we have to find out? Of course, we need to light a few big fires at the head of the village, and have people watch over them at night, so be careful not to catch fire." Liu Guangju talked about the simple method of exterminating insects in the village.

"Uncle Guangju, don't bother, just put a high-voltage lamp on the head of the village at night, and put a big wooden basin under the high-voltage lamp." Liu Junhao interjected later.The method is what Professor Zhao said in the morning, it is called the light-attraction method, and it uses the phototaxis at night.In fact, he also knows this method. He learned it in biology textbooks when he was in school, but he forgot to combine theory with practice.

"High pressure lamp, can it work?"

"Sure, it's what Professor Zhao said." Everyone in the village had no doubts.In their eyes, they are really knowledgeable.

Liu Junhao was afraid that the blind touch would continue to cause harm at night, so he also planned to get a high-pressure lamp in his yard later.When Professor Zhao heard about it, he suggested that he put the high-voltage lamp in the ditch in the backyard, so that when it falls into the water, it will be used as food for the eel, and it will not be wasted at all.
