Agriculture Idol

Chapter 45 For the sake of fans, touching bugs is nothing

"Oh, I'm afraid it will be like this... Is this combat strength 5..." Li Chengxin muttered, originally thinking of letting Qi Lanting get in touch with the completely harmless Zhizhi as an opportunity, but he didn't expect to be completely defeated.

The two continued to walk forward, and there were a few crooked trees that attracted Li Chengxin's attention. The leaves of these trees were dense, and the sunlight could hardly be seen standing under the trees. In an instant, the environment became a bit shady and humid stand up.

With the blessing of the system, Li Chengxin became an expert in identifying trees.

"This is a Castanopsis chinensis tree. There are red rust-colored thin wax scales on the back of the leaves of the Castanopsis chinensis tree, so it has a strong sunshade. In addition, the castanopsis tree is soft and easy to break and rot. It is the favorite food of the stag beetle."

Li Chengxin first turned to a kanko tree, which had a hollow at half the height of a person.

"Stag beetles hide in shady places during the day, and this hole is a really good hiding place."

Li Chengxin took out a small flashlight and turned on the light to illuminate the hollow on the castanopsis tree. This hole looks relatively "fresh", and the interior is still light brown of the trunk. You can see some small rotten wood debris piled up at the bottom of the tree hole .

It's a pity that I looked at every corner for a long time and found nothing.

I looked at a few other trees, but found nothing.

"Hey! What is this!" Suddenly, Qi Lanting pointed at the root of the tree and called out, "A frog?"

Li Chengxin took a flashlight and saw a taupe frog crouching at the root of the castan tree, with many bulging spots on its body, and its body was larger and flatter than ordinary frogs.

"Wow, this is a guy I don't like either... That's a toad!"

Qi Lanting observed the toad from a different angle: "Zicheng, don't you want to touch it?"

"No way! Toads are poisonous!" Li Chengxin refused.

"You just made an excuse not to touch it!" Qi Lanting said angrily, "I haven't heard of anything poisonous for a long time."

[It's over, I think Lan Lan's IQ is hopeless]

【However, I still like Lan Lan! 】

[So, isn't it common sense that toads are poisonous? 】

Letting go of the castan tree, they continued to move forward.

"Hey! This seems to be a oak tree. Oak oak is a kind of oak. The sap is full of starch and sugar, and it is the favorite of many crustaceans. Let's go and have a look!"

Li Chengxin pointed to a thick tree and said. The bark of this tree has longitudinal cracks and is thick and rough.

The flashlight shone over: "I seem to really see something!"

Li Chengxin walked around to the shade of the oak tree: "Wow! There really are!"

Following Li Chengxin's voice, Qi Lanting took a few steps back.

The camera turned to the shade of the tree, where the bark was damaged, and a large piece of sticky sap moistened the gap between the adjacent bark.

Nearly ten golden and green reflective crustaceans moved near the tree sap.

"Ah! This is the copper chafer."

"I know scarabs." Qi Lanting raised his hand, "The host of some children's show, but I remember that it was not red and black? The red carapace with black spots."

The CCTV children's program host that Qi Lanting said is probably the childhood memory of the [-]s and [-]s. He always wears a cape with red background and black spots and a little red hat.

Li Chengxin covered his face: "The red carapace with black spots is a ladybug. 'Scarab' is a stage name, it sounds better than 'Ladybug'. This is the scarab."

"Anyway, it's disgusting!" Qi Lanting's figure gradually receded.

At this time, a scarab flew up under the disturbance of Li Chengxin and others.The golden elytra formed a pair of fan shapes under high-speed flapping, and flew away with its oblong body.

"Scarab!" Qi Lanting saw the scene of the scarab flying away, and suddenly felt familiar.

"Hey! You're finally right," Li Chengxin laughed. "Scarabs—that is, dung beetles, are also insects of the scarab family."

【What?A scarab is a dung beetle? 】

【I do not believe!I do not believe! 】

[Suddenly feel that the scarab has fallen from the altar...]

"Cockchafers suck tree sap to survive, but the sap does not flow out for no reason. The sap circulates in the trunk, just like the blood of the tree. It is the bark that causes the sap to ooze out. These are considered pests, since you have seen them, you should catch them and deal with them.”

Li Chengxin did some popular science, intending to encourage Qi Lanting to catch scarabs.

However, from another angle, Li Chengxin suddenly pointed to a depression on a tree trunk not far from the scarab and said
"Oh, get out, there are actually wasps here."

Everyone took a closer look and saw three or four wasps coming in and out of the depression, probably using that depression to build their nests.Wasps have larger and longer bodies than normal bees, slender wings, and denser black and yellow stripes than normal bees, and are very aggressive.

This time not only Qi Lanting, Li Chengxin and Zhou Hao also felt scared, after all, being stung by a wasp might lead to death!

Letting go of the bugs on the tree, the few people continued to walk deep into the woods along the trail with only vague traces of pedestrians.

After walking for less than half an hour, they reached their destination.

Qi Lanting didn't even look at the map before he set off, but when he got here, he realized that the lake was much bigger than he had imagined. In comparison, the lake on Zhangba Island in his imagination might just be a pond.

There are two ruins of houses by the lake. They are said to be ruins. In fact, only the stone foundations of the houses still exist, and there are some broken planks around the foundations.

Li Chengxin tidied up the area around the foundation, cleared a flat space, and spread it with a tablecloth.

Zhou Hao put down the camera and helped bring out water and food.

"Oh~ It's quite unexpected, it's fun to walk around like this." Qi Lanting stretched his body on the corner of the tablecloth lying on it.

Li Chengxin sat on the foundation stone of the collapsed rammed earth wall, turned sideways to look at the lake, tapped the stone of the foundation lightly with his fingers, and hummed softly.

"Zicheng, have you started writing songs yet?" Qi Lanting is a person who is familiar with Li Chengxin's habits, but he still wants to interrupt his train of thought, "This is so interesting, why don't you take more selfies."

"If you find it interesting, why don't you go look for bugs?" Li Chengxin suggested, still a little angry when Qi Lanting interrupted his thoughts, "We had already set up bug traps when we came here yesterday, go and see if you can catch them. "

By the way, he pointed to the corner of the foundation: "That's the trap."

Qi Lanting looked over and saw that it was a transparent plastic beverage bottle. The bottle body was cut off from a quarter, and then the mouth of the bottle was inserted into the bottle body upside down. There was some powder that seemed to be white sugar at the bottom of the bottle.

And at the bottom of this bottle, there are a few small black bugs, trying to crawl out but can't find the position of the bottle mouth.

"Which one of us is with whom, let's go together, hehe."

Li Chengxin knew where his insect trap was set. When he opened a few pieces of wood in the shade, there was a small bottle inside.

"Oh, it's a pity, there are ants in here. The ants are too difficult, so I won't ask you to touch them." Li Chengxin shook off the sugar and ants in the bottle, and recycled the bottle.

In the next corner, Li Chengxin was using a Sprite bottle with a green body, and he could vaguely see something moving at the bottom of the bottle, and the movement was not small.

"Lanting, I opened a bottle just now, can you take this?"

Qi Lanting took a few steps back and raised the insect net: "Zicheng, why don't you just pour the contents of the bottle into the net bag and let me take a look first?"

Li Chengxin was helpless, Qi Lanting had taken a big step forward by agreeing to do this, so he had no choice but to do so.

Appearing in the net bag is the scarab.

"Alright, the few were protected by the wasp bosses just now, let's catch these few."

As Li Chengxin said, he pinched the back shells of the beetles and put them into the insect box.

"Lanting, come and try." When the last scarab was reached, Li Chengxin held the hand of the scarab and passed it to Qi Lanting.

"No! It's terrible!"

Qi Lanting shivered, and blocked Li Chengxin's hand.

"Come on, come on!" Li Chengxin's tone was like that of a poor-quality madam, no one wanted to enter his shop.

"You caught the beetle!" Qi Lanting finally couldn't bear it any longer, "I'll just touch it."

Li Chengxin gave up and grabbed the scarab near the tail.

Qi Lanting's fingers trembled, and finally placed on the back of the scarab's head.

【finally! ...]

【Zicheng has made great achievements through hard work! 】

【I really hope to be patted like that by Lan Lan】

With this touch, netizens cheered, and it seemed that they were the ones who finally achieved this arduous task.

The beetle raised its front foot, intending to scratch its head, this action caused Qi Lanting to jump back two steps with a small scream, but he still had a smile on his face: "What is he trying to do! My hands and hands are not for this Touched by a guy who is not a fan of mine!"

"Haha!" Li Chengxin laughed loudly, pretending that he didn't know that Qi Lanting was still afraid of bugs.

A few more traps were checked and a few more scarabs were harvested.

Li Chengxin and others returned to the tablecloth with the plastic bottles used to make the trap.

"It's so strange. Only this bottle caught crickets. There were many when I was a kid." Li Chengxin muttered as he picked up the trap bottle in the corner.

Qi Lanting seemed sure that these bugs really wouldn't eat him, so he dared to look over the crickets in the trap.

They were four flat-looking grasshopper-shaped bugs, black or dark brown all over, with particularly thick hind legs, and two thorns on their tails.

"Lanting, this is the last part of touching the bugs, please show some face." Li Chengxin persuaded, transferred a few crickets into a plate, and bent the sides of the plate inwards so that the crickets could not escape. , the cricket didn't want to move much.

Qi Lanting squatted aside, watching Li Chengxin grab the bugs directly with his hands, he felt that someone took the lead and he was not so afraid.

"Okay, count yourself as ruthless!"

Seeing that Qi Lanting finally agreed, Li Chengxin immediately turned to the live broadcast camera with serious eyes: "Attention everyone! Today, let us witness together that the national idol Qi Lanting is trying to overcome the barriers that dare not touch bugs!"

Zhou Hao also started to play an inspirational song released by Qi Lanting a few years ago on his mobile phone very appropriately.

Qi Lanting glared at Zhou Hao angrily, put a finger into the plate, and quickly touched the cricket as it crawled over the edge of the plate.

"Emmm... It feels like touching a camera..." Then he tapped the back of another cricket, and that cricket quickly ran away from under Qi Lanting's fingers.

Li Chengxin grabbed a cricket: "Come and try to catch one too? Grasp the sides of the body with your thumb and index finger like me. Although its feet can move, they will never touch you."

Qi Lanting wiped the cold sweat off his forehead: "I know, I still have a role in the afternoon, will you not let me go back if you don't arrest me?"

Li Chengxin smiled: "You can go by yourself."

Li Chengxin was sure that Qi Lanting would not dare to walk that somewhat illegible path alone.

"Oh, forget it!" Qi Lanting put two fingers on the side of a lazy cricket, quickly grabbed it, closed his eyes and shouted, "This is to give courage to those children who are afraid of bugs among my fans." !"

After speaking, as soon as he opened his eyes and let go of his hand, the cricket fell to the ground and jumped away.

Although the time was a bit short, the camera actually captured the scene of Qi Lanting catching the cricket.

[Hey, Lan Lan went to catch bugs for us! 】

【move!Thank you Zicheng, thank you Lanlan! 】

【In the beginning, I was still scolding Zicheng, but now I think it makes sense...】

"Lanting, it's rare for you to get close to nature today. By the way, you also saw several kinds of insects in the forest. How do you feel? Are you happy?"

"It's... not bad..."

"Just be happy. Let's catch bugs together next time when the season changes!"

"Wait! I didn't say I was happy!"

　Since I'm still in a state of New Year's that I can't wander around, first of all, I would like to wish all readers a happy New Year!Then thank book friends 20191226124900268, book friends hyddx, and book friends Yanzheng for their rewards!

　　——Speaking of which, it was not in my plan to write about bugs, but recently I found that I dare not touch bugs anymore, and I was a little surprised.When I was young, I was completely stress-free when I started catching crickets. As a result, some time ago, a cricket ran into the room. I still covered it with a disposable cup, inserted a piece of paper in it, and then threw the cricket out... The older I get, the more timid I become .But now the danger of wild life is getting bigger and bigger, so if you are not sure, don't touch it and pay attention to safety!
