Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 343 Insect Pests
In the morning, the weather was fine, and Zhang Qian went to school as soon as she lost her breakfast bowl.There are still a few days left for the final exam. During this time, the students must try to master the knowledge points again.Liu Junhao originally wanted to take Chitu to the river beach for a long time when the weather was cool in the morning, and come back earlier when it was hot.Unexpectedly, this guy doesn't like eating dewy weeds very much, and he didn't eat much after spending nearly an hour on the river beach.Helpless, he could only take Chitu home again, and then Jinshisuo cut a large basket of floating grass to feed this guy.

After the Chitu settled down, he started to work in the flower pond again.The henna had already bloomed a month ago, and it is now in its peak flowering period. There is a large area of ​​red in the flower pond, which looks really gratifying.Of course, there are also many scumblers in the flowers, so Liu Junhao tried to avoid these guys when he pulled the grass.Being stung by them is absolutely unpleasant.

After weeding, Liu Junhao wiped his hands clean. He was thirsty and was about to kill a piece of watermelon to eat, but when he turned his head, he saw the monkey jumping down from the tree with a big pear in his arms.

"Wukong, come here, Lizi!" He pointed to the pear in the guy's hand and shouted.

With the words and gestures, the monkey understood everything, but it didn't obediently deliver the pear, but opened its mouth and took a big bite out of it without washing it, and then handed it over with a squeak.

"This guy, get out!" Liu Junhao patted it on the head, dumbfounded, and drove Wukong away.It is said that although the few fruit trees in the courtyard were transplanted less than a year ago, they have grown to a height of nearly three meters.Now that Liu Junhao is standing under the tree, he can at most hook the fruit at the bottom.However, these fruits are blocked by the branches and leaves, and often receive less sunlight, so the taste is far inferior to those at the top.The diameter of this tree is only five or six centimeters thick, and Liu Junhao will definitely break it when he goes up.He doesn't like to pick with a net bag, so he can only send Wukong to help. Anyway, this guy is an experienced fruit picker, so he must know that those fruits are delicious.Of course, after picking the fruits, Liu Junhao, as the host, of course had to pick the big ones.

After several times in a row, the monkey was reluctant, so he just picked one.When Liu Junhao stretched out his hand to beg for it, it suddenly stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite... This guy is very smart to know that the owner doesn't want to eat the leftovers by himself.

"Zhizhi..." Seeing that he didn't want the pear, Wukong immediately yelled excitedly, and then swaggered and sat beside him to chew.

"This thing is getting more and more cunning, and it's deliberately trying to make me jealous." Liu Junhao got into the stone lock in a flash, and then took out a pear that was bigger than a goose egg.He wiped off the frost on it, and started to bite directly.

When Liu Junhao bought fruit trees and planted them in the space, the pear trees produced more fruits than those outside.The pears were obviously bigger than the pears in the courtyard. Liu Junhao was afraid that his wife would notice the abnormality, so he planned to let them grow like this first, and then take them out after the outer ones were fully ripe, so that at least there would be no obvious difference in appearance.Now that he was provoked by the monkey, he no longer has the idea of ​​continuing to hide his clumsiness.

It doesn't matter if he eats it, he obviously feels that the pears in the space taste cooler and sweeter, and there seems to be more juice inside.It tastes rustling, you don't need to use your teeth hard at all, just press it with your tongue, and the pulp will completely turn into juice.No wonder people call pears Sydney, the taste of ice-cold snow flows into the abdomen and lungs along the mouth, making people feel more comfortable than eating ice cream.

"Zhizhi..." Now it was the monkey's turn to be jealous. He turned his head and sniffed his nose, and seemed to feel that the pear in the master's hand was much better than the pear he had picked.It jumped in front of Liu Junhao, no matter whether its paws were clean or not, it directly reached into the pocket and flipped back and forth.But after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the second pear. In the end, this guy could only scream unwillingly.

"Want to eat?" Liu Junhao teased a few times with the big pear, and stuffed the fan into Wukong's hand, "Fan me"

"Zhizhi" This guy didn't care about anything for the food, and his two little paws directly grabbed the handle of the fan and slapped it violently.

Seeing that it was sweating on its tired forehead, Liu Junhao put it away when he saw it was good, and went into the stone lock to touch a big pear.After getting the pears, Wukong immediately threw away the fan in his hand, squatted beside him and gnawed fiercely.As for the half pear just now, it fell into the mouths of several greedy hens.

The pears grown in the space are different. It is estimated that they can be mashed in a bowl and can be drunk directly as juice.Liu Junhao gnawed on the pear beautifully. In less than 5 minutes, the big pear had completely entered his stomach, leaving only a pear pit the size of a pigeon egg in his hand.

This is an excellent variety irrigated with spring water, peach trees... just pretend that there is no such thing planted in my yard.

After eating a pear, Liu Junhao still felt that it was not enough. After thinking about it, he got into the stone lock again and picked one.

"Huh... It's getting worse." He was just about to go out with Taozi in his arms, when he inadvertently glanced at another pear tree, and the sight on the tree made him stop in his tracks.

The two pear trees form a sharp contrast. The pear tree that has just been picked has luxuriant branches and fruitful fruits.Although the remaining tree also produced a lot of fruit, the leaves turned yellow and withered, which made people feel distressed, obviously suffering from pests and diseases.

It should be said that Liu Junhao discovered this abnormality a few days ago, but there was no way to spray medicine to eliminate the insects in Shisuo.In addition, he thinks that a few small aphids can't make a climate at all, so he doesn't plan to take care of it.But in just a few days, it has grown from a single pear tree branch to a large one. Look at that posture, if we don't step up the control, it is estimated that the leaves on this pear tree will be harmed by them.The scene in front of him tells him that he can't do it anymore. After all, he also learned the text "What I want is a gourd" when he was a child. If the situation is allowed to worsen, there will be more and more aphids, and finally the fruit trees in the stone lock will be completely destroyed. Danger.

Catching insects with bare hands?This approach seems unlikely.The aphids are small, and they usually hide behind the leaves. If you let him catch them one by one with his eyes wide open, he will probably become short-sighted from exhaustion.

Bird extermination... It seems that there are no birds in my yard that can take on the important task.The swiftlet feeds mainly on flying insects in the air and fish in the water.The aphids on the tree are not professional. I am afraid that you can only catch them if you catch them.Not to mention the two starlings, these two guys seem to have no other skills other than yelling all day long. Every time they are hungry, they fly to Wukong to beg for food, as if they have never caught bugs themselves.

"Why don't you post a post online asking for help?" He thought for a long time and seemed to have no good idea, and finally he could only walk out of the stone lock extremely depressed.Well, because I asked for help online for this matter, I always felt like making a fuss out of a molehill.Just as he was thinking, suddenly a beetle flew by in front of him, and Liu Junhao subconsciously reached out to grab it.Multi-star ladybug... This thing is also a pest, and it likes to eat the tender stems of fruit trees.

But it seems to have a brother... Liu Junhao slapped his head, he was just in a hurry and confused, how could he completely forget the seven-star ladybug. "Ladybugs like to eat aphids", elementary school students know this sentence.

Aphids also like to harm watermelon seedlings, but it seems that the watermelon seedlings in my yard have never had insects, and the seven-star ladybug must be responsible for this.Thinking of this, Liu Junhao immediately took Wukong to the backyard to catch ladybugs.

When he arrived at the backyard, he was completely puzzled: one person and one monkey searched back and forth in the yard, but they didn't even see a seven-spotted ladybug.

"Could it be that these things are all blind? The environment in my backyard is so good, and they don't come..." Liu Junhao looked for it again unwillingly, this time his eyes widened even wider.The hard work paid off, and finally I saw a seven-spotted ladybug flying and landing on the watermelon seedling.

Kouhu, I'm looking for you, Liu Junhao hurriedly reached out to catch you.But before he could react, "噗" jumped over a rock chicken from the side.When this guy rolled his tongue, the seven-star ladybug entered his stomach.

It turned out that it was so, and he finally realized that the love is not because of the seven-star ladybug, but because it was caught and eaten by the grouse.

Unable to catch him in the courtyard, Liu Junhao could only turn his eyes to the field in extreme depression.There are really quite a lot of good things to bring, and within a short while, he caught seven or eight of them.Seeing how busy the master was, the monkey also came to catch it, but this guy couldn't tell the difference between ladybugs. After a while, seven-star ladybugs, one-star ladybugs, multi-star ladybugs, etc. were all caught.

I didn't pay much attention to it at ordinary times, but now I realize that these ladybugs are really strange, there are several stars, and some of the shells are full of small black spots, which only makes people dizzy.You said these guys have nothing to do with memorizing so many small black dots, when they are playing Go, Liu Junhao murmured in his heart.

After basking in the sun for more than half an hour, the seven-star ladybug also grabbed half of the bottle.Liu Junhao was about to turn his head and go back, but found another big ant nest at the root of the tree.

Ants also eat insects. You can catch some ants and put them on the pear tree, so that the aphids will never run away.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked around, no one was there!With a flash of his body, he had already got into the stone lock.Quickly broke a reed stick, and then appeared in place.

Ants love to eat sweets, and this reed honey has a fatal temptation for them. It is said that during the Chu-Han War, Han Xinxin wrote the words "Xiang Yu must die" by the Wujiang River, which attracted ants to eat.When Xiang Yu saw these big characters when he fled to the Wujiang River, he thought it was God's will, and finally committed suicide by wiping his neck.

As soon as the honey was thrown on the ground, within 2 minutes, a large group of ants rushed over and crawled across a large area on the ground.The monkey seemed to be very afraid of this thing, squeaking and not daring to approach it.

Back home, Liu Junhao entered Shisuo again. He scattered seven-spotted ladybugs on the branches, and then poured ants on the roots of the trees.The seven-spotted ladybug quickly adapted to the environment and began to find aphids on the branches.On the contrary, those ants were a little confused, one by two kept touching the antennae.

He looked anxiously, so he caught two aphids and threw them on the ant pile, trying to divert the attention of these guys.

It didn't seem right... When he saw the ant's reaction, he was dumbfounded again.Those ants did not regard the aphids as food, but carried them to the tree, and then politely turned and left.

I finished writing this chapter very early today, and I planned to continue writing Chapter 2. As a result, I just passed the article to a friend, and he pointed out an obvious mistake after reading it.Ever since, the manuscript was invalidated, and I rewrote it.

To be honest, I always thought that ants eat aphids.
