Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 133 Insect Pests
"I know, isn't that the mountain of Lao Xin's family? Do you dare to take over that mountain? Lao Xin planted fir trees in the past, and spent a lot of money to buy saplings. All the trees he planted died, and he lost everything. , owed a lot of debt and went out to work to pay off the debt." Xu Huifang interjected.

"That's right, Tianhui, nothing grows on that mountain, can it work?" Wang Shanhe also felt unreliable.

"I'll go and have a look tomorrow and see what's going on. It shouldn't be a big problem," Wang Tianhui said.

"Okay, go and have a look tomorrow and make a decision, anyway, you know better than me and your father, just don't be fooled." Xu Huifang instructed.

"I know Mom."

After handing over the money to his mother, Wang Tianhui yawned and went back to the house.

Early the next morning, Wang Tianhui went up the mountain. The barren mountain was not as barren as imagined, but there were indeed no large trees, and there were some dead cedar trees.

At this turn, Wang Tianhui discovered the problem.

These rotten fir trees have been eaten away by moths, and they are all soil silkworms, fat and fat thicker than a thumb.

Soil silkworms are also called grubs, old mother insects, and are the larvae of the golden tortoise beetle. They are divided into three types: herbivorous, scavenging, and dung-eating. It is very harmful to eat freshly sown seeds, roots, stems and seedlings.

The soil silkworm has a large body and is bent into a C shape. It hides in the soil during the day and moves to the topsoil to feed at night. When the soil humidity increases, the activity intensifies. It is active in the topsoil in spring and autumn, and only in the morning and night in summer. will come to the topsoil.

Wang Tianhui took a small stick and scratched in the soil, sure enough there were a lot of silkworms.

It's no wonder that nothing can grow, and these little things are eaten.

The traditional way of hunting is to catch them in the 1-2 inch soil layer of tree roots and grass roots every year from May to August, then scald them to death with boiling water and dry them in the sun.

But the soil silkworms everywhere on this mountain cannot be dug up.

He has psychic abilities, but with such a large area, he can't come to take care of it every day, so he has to find other ways.

How to do it?

If you can get something to eat, maybe soon?

When it comes to eating bugs, Wang Tianhui thinks of chicken first.

However, there are not many people raising chickens in the village, and they borrowed them all and mixed them together so they couldn’t tell who belonged to them. It would be impossible to eat so many worms, and it’s even more unrealistic to buy chicken seedlings now. The throat and eyes are thick and I can't eat it.

So what else is there to eat?
At this moment, Wang Tianhui's phone rang, and it was Professor Ding Simin calling.

"Student Wang, I have good news for you! The archaeological application for Dawengshan Tiankeng has been approved, and we will go to Yujia Village tomorrow, and there will be media reporters coming with you. You, a great hero, will become famous again. .”

"Professor Ding, let's do the same as last time. Don't mention me to the media. I don't want to be famous. I just want to live a peaceful life in Yujia Village."

"Xiao Wang, this is a rare opportunity, and it will be of great help to your future development!"

"No, no, thank you Professor Ding for your kindness. After the last donation was secretly photographed, many reporters guarded my house. I hid outside for several days before I dared to come back. Being famous is not a good thing for me."

"Since you think so, that's fine. I respect your choice. The society is too fickle. Now there are not many young people like you who are indifferent to fame and fortune. I should learn from you."

"Professor Ding, don't say that, I can't bear it."

"Hehe, that's alright, we won't mention you to the media after we pass by, but you still have to lead us into the mountains with us."

"That's for sure, don't worry, Professor Ding."

"Oh, by the way, you said that there are many monkeys living in the tiankeng, right? We will go to many people at that time, and there will be no danger, right?"

"Probably not. Although those monkeys are wild, if you bring them some food, they won't attack people easily."

"Well, what kind of monkeys are those?"

"Professor Ding, it's a capuchin monkey."

"It's a capuchin monkey? Their favorite food is bugs, bugs... by the way! Xiao Wang, please help me find out if the hospital in your town has the traditional Chinese medicine Baitu silkworm, and help me collect a little more and bring it there. , if there are no live worms, we can only dry them with worms.”

"Huh? Do capuchin monkeys like to eat white soil silkworms?" Wang Tianhui was surprised.

"That's right, white soil silkworms live in rotten wood, and they are the protein supplements that capuchin monkeys like to look for most. Compared with fruits, white soil silkworms are their favorite."

"Student Xiao Wang."

"Xiao Wang, are you listening?"

"Xiao Wang?"

"Here, Professor Ding, you don't have to worry about the silkworms. I have a way to house those monkeys. They won't affect your archaeology."

"Ah? Really? Are you kidding me? These are wild monkeys, what are you going to do?"

"I have my own way."

"That's fine, Xiao Wang, I can rest assured that you can handle the matter, then it's settled like this, we'll see you tomorrow."

After the phone call, Wang Tianhui was overjoyed.

Just worried that there was no move, a sticky bean bag fell from the sky.

Wang Tianhui turned his head to look at Xiaohua who was playing with the silkworm curled up as a ball.

"Xiaohua, go to Daweng Mountain and ask Wukong to bring his monkey cubs here, and say that I will treat them to delicious food."

Meow?
Now?

"immediately!"

Meow……

but……

"I'm going back now to find someone to pick lychees. If you go, I'll save some for you. If you don't go..."

Before Wang Tianhui finished speaking, the poor earthworm was thrown out, and looking at Xiaohua, it had disappeared.

After making up his mind, Wang Tianhui went home first, and called Xu Wenshan on the way.

Xu Wenshan is now mainly engaged in the fishing boat rental business. Er Zhuzi showed him the boats. He went to sea to do some small business when he had nothing to do. He also came to help Wang Tianhui's family if there was anything.

Of course, the help is not for nothing, Wang Tianhui will give him wages.

Xu Wenshan is very popular in the village. He is the leader of the young people. If you are looking for someone to work, just ask him. He can gather people.

"Tianhui, how are you?" Wang Shanhe happened to come back from collecting seafood, and ran into Wang Tianhui outside the courtyard.

"No problem, it's solved, Dad, tell the village chief for me, if you can buy it, you can buy it, if you can't buy it, you can rent it, money doesn't matter."

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Well, that's it. It's pretty good. The soil is very fertile and suitable for building an orchard."

"All right, I'll send these seafood to your mother, and then I'll talk to the village chief. By the way, Lao Li is here, and we're having dinner in the courtyard."

"I see." Wang Tianhui responded and entered the hospital.

"Tianhui!"

Xu Wenshan has already arrived, drinking tea with a few buddies under the old jujube tree and waiting.

"Have you seen it?"

"Look, it's become quite popular." Xu Wenshan was talking about lychees.

"Okay then, pick it up."

Xu Wenshan and the others went to the backyard with their baskets, while Wang Tianhui walked towards Li Dongxing. Their family was eating a big pot of vegetables.
