I am the king of the wild live

Chapter 889 Desert Locust
Chapter 889 Desert Locust
"A dry, flammable fiber like this is perfect!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Yu knelt down on one knee, stepped on the board with his right foot, placed a small ball of kindling in the oval pit of the board, then inserted the wooden awl into the pit, and grabbed the stone with his right hand to press it. At the top of the wooden awl, hold the wooden bow with your left hand and pull it back and forth. The wooden awl with the bow rope wrapped around it is also driven up, and the awl quickly rubs against the firelighter in the pit.

"Seems simple enough? Once you get the hang of it, starting a fire is as easy as striking a match."

As soon as the words fell, the speed in Wang Yu's hand became faster and faster, and the friction force of the cone on the firelighter became stronger and stronger. In less than ten seconds, a wisp of smoke began to rise from the pit.

When there is smoke, it means that sparks are ignited. Wang Yu's left hand draws the bow a little faster. A puff of smoke rises. Wang Yu immediately stops his hands and throws the tools aside. Everyone can see Spotted sparks in the pit.

Wang Yu grabbed a handful of hay, gathered them together, gently dumped the fire debris in the pit into the hay ball, and threw the board aside, Wang Yu picked up the hay ball and blew lightly, and the originally bleak Mars returned. It became a little brighter, and the surrounding dry grass was also ignited as the temperature rose, bursts of smoke rose, and then a flame ignited in the dark desert.

"very good!"

Wang Yu smiled with satisfaction, and threw the hay ball into the woodpile, and soon a bonfire was lit. Excluding the time for making the tools, it only took 40 seconds to actually start the fire.

"How? Have you learned it yet?"

Wang Yu asked the camera.

"Fuck, this method can be said to be once and for all!"

"Yeah, it shouldn't be too simple. Once you have made a fire bow, the speed of making a fire shouldn't be too fast!"

"Steal another trick, it's the good news for our handicap, I'll try to make a fire bow when I get a chance!"

"Wrong, handicapped people can't make a fire bow. I tried a few methods of making fire taught by Master Yu before, and at most there was a puff of smoke..."

"Okay, it feels pretty simple, and it shouldn't be too difficult to practice!"

A blazing bonfire lit up, illuminating this small piece of heaven and earth, and the bright moon rose at some unknown time, and the silver light sprinkled on the sand, reflecting a faint sparkle, and it really felt like there was frost on the ground.

Sitting by the bonfire and warming up, the last trace of chill was dispelled from his body, Wang Yu was sitting by the bonfire chatting with everyone, complaining that there was no food tonight, when an insect flew over, stepped on the sand, and circled around the bonfire.

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment. After taking a closer look, he smiled happily and said, "Good guy, it's delivered to your door!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Yu's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed the small insect in the palm of his hand. With the other hand, he reached into the palm of his hand. After pinching the small insect, Wang Yu moved the camera over.

Under the light of the fire, everyone clearly saw the creature caught between Wang Yu's fingers, and the little guy instinctively tried to break free, but it didn't work.

"locust!"

Almost everyone recognized it immediately, and Wang Yu smiled and said, "That's right, it's the locust!"

One of the benefits of the bonfire is that it can attract phototaxis insects. Wang Yu didn't expect that it could attract desert locusts. It is estimated that there are more than one of them nearby.

"It's great, maybe God can't stand it anymore, I'm already hungry!"

Wang Yu grabbed the desert locust in his hand and stood near the campfire to examine it carefully.

Soon, a locust crawling towards the bonfire on the sand became his second target, and Wang Yu bent down and grabbed it.

After working for a while, he managed to catch seven or eight locusts. As for other inedible insects, or insects that were not enough to fit between his teeth, Wang Yu ignored them.

After searching around for a while, Wang Yu gave up when he couldn't find any traces of other locusts. However, it was already a very happy thing for him to be able to harvest a few locusts by accident.

The flames of the bonfire became smaller and smaller. Wang Yu put the desert locusts in his pocket, picked up some firewood nearby, and added them in, preparing for a locust barbecue banquet.

Leaving three locusts in his pocket, Wang Yu cut off two wooden sticks with a dagger, skewered a few fresh locusts, and cleaned off the sand on them. Wang Yu couldn't wait to sit around the campfire, holding a stick Grill locust skewers.

"Is it finally coming? Watch Master Yu grill the locust..."

"It's okay. Locusts look better than those unknown insects, right?"

"Why are there locusts in this desert? Can someone explain to me..."

"It's normal. Locusts are one of the most widely distributed insects in the world. Let me tell you, they can be found in any continent and every corner except Antarctica!"

"Is it so powerful? Will there be locust plagues abroad?"

"Returning to the previous one, the locust plague is a worldwide agricultural disaster, and it can happen wherever you live, but the scale and impact of the disaster are different."

……

As a biological disaster, locust disasters are often found in the history of China, especially in the northern regions. After severe droughts, the water content of the land decreases, which is of great benefit to the reproduction and spawning of locusts. Therefore, after severe droughts, locust disasters are often accompanied .

Especially in the vast plains with sparse ground vegetation, the number of locust egg clusters per square meter can reach as many as [-] to [-], and each egg cluster contains [-] to [-] eggs.

Calculated, the number of locust eggs per square meter can be as high as 20 to 40. The number of eggs per square meter is shocking. If it is thousands, tens of thousands or even more areas of land, the huge number Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

Countless locust larvae gather to break through the ground, and their omnivorous nature allows them to prey unscrupulously. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no grass growing in the areas they visit, and even the leaves and bark will not be spared by them.

"The migratory locusts cover the sky and the sun is colorless, and the old man Tanaka tears his blood!"

Wang Yu sighed softly, but the working people in ancient times were deeply disturbed by it. Thinking of this, Wang Yu felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness and indignation in his heart.

Immediately decided to turn this grief and anger into appetite, and it was at this time that a faint fragrance hit Wang Yu's nose for a long time and could not dissipate.

"smell good!"

Wang Yu sighed and put the grilled locust skewers in his mouth. Before he even got close to his lips and teeth, he could feel the hot breath. In desperation, Wang Yu had no choice but to wait for the food to cool down.
