Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 529 The thief who stole the cabbage

The time is approaching the end of the year. Under normal circumstances, it is already autumn, and the temperature should drop. However, the fierce beasts and forests are still active, and there is no sign of autumn. On the contrary, the weather is hotter.

"Last year at this time, it was the same." The old man Wu sat on the stone, looked at the mountains in the distance, and sighed, "No, this year is hotter than last year."

The increasingly unusual changes in the world made people feel uneasy.

Fortunately, thanks to last year's experience, they have calmed down a lot this year. Moreover, this year's two split branches of the Yanjiao tribe can reassure people's hearts and boost their morale.

After experiencing the extremely cold winter over the sea, and then experiencing the weather here like summer, Zheng Luo and others were quite uncomfortable. Still, it's better to be warm than frozen, right?

The warm weather also has its disadvantages. The animals in the forest that should have started to wilt are very active one by one. These flying insects are just one of them. When hunting people go into the forest to hunt, they can clearly feel them. The beasts did not plan to spend the winter at all, they were quite energetic. Venomous snakes and ants are also a problem.

"What's going on over there?" The old lady Wu walked over with a sullen face, watching a team hurriedly rushing out of the mountain forest not far away.

"Nip nib, what's going on over there?" the old man called Wu Jiang, who was running and nibbling on his feet.

Hearing Wu calling him, he didn't care about where he was nibbling, so he hurried over to explain, "Wu, I heard that there are many insects in the fields outside flying to eat the cabbage, and the leader is so angry that he asked us to help."

"A lot of bugs?" The two witches were startled. The first thing they thought of was the heavenly veins planted in the mountains and forests. They hurriedly ran to the ground to look, for fear that the ground where the heavenly veins were planted would also be infested by insects.

The good thing is that on the side of the Tianmai, there is not a single flying insect at all, and even underground, it is rare to see insects. These heavenly veins seem to be naturally resistant to insects. certainly. Limited to unbroken celestial veins.

Seeing this situation, the two witches calmed down a little, and waved their hands to let Ni Ni rush to the outside field to help kill the insects. A lot of things can be planted in the ground, some of which have not germinated. Some are even more sprouting, and the ones who suffer the most are probably only those Chinese cabbage.

"In previous years, those bugs wouldn't be so active." Wu's eyes showed worry.

Exclude last year's situation. At this time in the past, under normal circumstances, many wintering insects and beasts in the mountains and forests were preparing for the winter, and they would not fly around in groups. Perhaps because of the weather, all these bugs who didn't plan to spend the winter at all came out, as if another spring was ushering in.

In addition, Yanjiao's expanded farmland outside the mountains and forests also attracted many flying insects.

Before, I only saw a small wave of flying insects occasionally, and the people guarding the farmland could handle it. But now that they are too many, they can't stand it anymore and can only rely on more soldiers to help.

When Shao Xuan got there, the farmland was in chaos.

Those who wielded knives, swords, clubs and hammers crowded together noisily.

Those flying insects were more than 20 centimeters long. Shao Xuan took one down with his sword, pinched it and looked at it.

It is a light green flying insect with a slight yellowish color, with two large compound eyes, a slightly wider chest and a slender abdomen. The two pairs of almost transparent wings are crisscrossed with reticulated veins, and there are five pairs of slender feet with sharp claws on the body, the front pair of which is in a catching style. Used to catch, when they fly and land on the leaves, these pairs of claws can firmly grasp the leaves and keep them from falling.

This kind of flying insect also has chewing mouthparts, and chewing leaves will be very agile.

It is these flying insects that make the warriors in the tribe so anxious that they can't wait to see the flames on their heads. They can deal with large beasts. But when they encounter so many small flying insects, they can't be busy all of a sudden, and as soon as these flying insects fly high, it becomes more difficult for them to kill them. With arrows? Nor is it appropriate.

This kind of flying insect can't fly too high, but after all, soldiers can't fly,

Even if he can jump higher, he still looks embarrassed when killing insects. Sometimes there are too many insects, and there are too many people. When killing insects, some people jump into the air and hit them. The insect didn't kill it, but knocked his own person into a daze.

Some people think of pulling nets, but the area of ​​farmland is too large, and it is impossible to take care of it all at once, and it is impossible to cover all the land. Besides, the woven nets, unless the nets are stitched smaller, they will not be suitable for these Worms are useless, they can squeeze through the gaps in the mesh.

After finally destroying this wave of insect swarms, the people who were busy in a group rested.

"Someone made a net, and I can cover up another batch today, but if it's always like this, it's not a problem." Mai said angrily, looking at the gnawed leaves.

Shao Xuan also thought about it.

Farming must allow these crops to see the sun. A net that is too densely woven can block some flying insects, but it also blocks the sun, which is not a safe way.

Spray pesticides?

Not to mention that it has not been developed, even if there is, no one can guarantee that people will still be healthy after poisoning the insects. Due to limited conditions, it is impossible to study the ratio more precisely.

"Let's rely on us." Sitting next to him, he was breathing heavily, sweating profusely. He never felt that killing insects was so hard. They wanted to kill those flying insects, and they had to be careful not to step on the ground. It's really hard to plant something.

Some people took the shot with a generous wooden board, but the effect was limited.

"You can make some small holes in the wooden board, and then thin the bottom of the wooden board to make a handle, which is easy to handle." Shao Xuan said.

The eyes of the warrior holding the plank lit up, and he felt that this method was feasible, so he immediately took out his tools and began to chisel the plank.

Some people are cleaning up the mess, picking up the corpses on the ground and putting them together. Because the stupid birds they keep don't eat these worms, and most of the other breeders are vegetarians, they turn these corpses into fertilizer. , later fertile land. This also greatly relieved the people of the tribe. You came here, little flying insect, didn't it become fertilizer in the field in the end?

Shao Xuan looked at the surrounding ground, raised his feet and headed back into the forest. He was going to the casting room.

That night.

Because the cabbage in the field is no longer a secret, the surrounding area is not too tight. After the insect plague during the day, the soldiers guarding the farmland are a little tired.

A figure sneaked in with the night, like a thin leaf blown by the wind, fluttering over the wooden fence around the cabbage field, landing on the ground with a faint sound.

After the shadow fell to the ground, I listened carefully and made sure that it did not attract the attention of those guarding the farmland, and then it "floated" again, like a butterfly fluttering on a flower, landing on a Chinese cabbage, and it left at a touch, only for a short time. The "chi" sound was like an unobtrusive insect chirping.

Still no one notices here.

Hiding in the shadow of a cabbage taller than a man, the man took a sliced ​​cabbage leaf to his nose and smelled it. This small piece of leaf was cut from the vegetable ball near the middle. He heard from people in Yanjiao that the leaves on the middle vegetable ball are more crispy and taste better. He has been staring at it for a few days, and he has been wanting to come over and try the newly discovered dishes in Yanjiao. Today, he finally got the chance.

He likes vegetarian food, not meat. I put the small leaf in my mouth and tasted it, and carefully refused to taste it. I felt that it was quite good, crisp and fresh.

After lurking for so long, he finally got something satisfactory.

The moonlight cast by the two moons in the sky is not bright, and there are clouds blocking it from time to time. The guards who glanced in did not find that under a cabbage leaf much taller than a person in the ground, in the shadow darker than the night , hides a person.

After eating the peeled leaves, the man looked around. When he jumped up, he quickly glanced around. Even if it was dark, he could still see the surroundings clearly. He remembered that not far away, there was a bigger cabbage, much bigger than the others around him. When he jumped up, he noticed it with a glance, and he decided to start with the biggest cabbage.

I don't know tomorrow, what kind of reaction will the people in Yanjiao find out that there is a vegetable ball missing in the middle of the biggest one in the field? Come to think of it, he was looking forward to it. (To be continued.)
