After the disaster

After this crop of rice was planted, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang were not as busy as before. They took care of the family's crops step by step every day. In their spare time, Qiu Cheng started to prepare the pigsty.

There are still a few days before the arrival of the piglets, they can prepare slowly, after all, the pigsty is different from others, in order to avoid water leakage, Qiu Cheng tried to paste the cement paste thicker, and paste a few more layers, so that the one A bathroom can be used as a water tower.

The flatness of the ground is also very particular, it is not completely level, but also slopes from high to low to the drain to ensure that there will be no water accumulation.In the direction of the bathroom entrance is a low wall more than one meter high. Below the low wall is a cement trough, which has been tightly pasted with cement-proof grout.

Because he was not in a hurry, Qiu Cheng just led Ah Chang to work slowly, and even the cracks in the corners were carefully dug out by them.

A few more days later, the black light by the Xinnan River finally turned on, and a flock of half-sized ducks appeared on the flat ground inside the barbed wire fence. These ducks seemed to be about the same size as the chickens in Qiu Cheng's family. Obviously, they have been raised in other places for a while before, and Qiu Cheng guessed that they were probably indoors, because these ducks look obviously a little fleshy, not as flexible as chickens and ducks that hang around outside all day.

In the evening, the duck farm by the Xinnan River was lit with black lights, and insects within a few kilometers came here one after another. The first ones came were some fast-flying beetles, and then various moths.

Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang stood on the top of the building, looking at the direction of the Xinnan River. The ducks were quacking and chasing food, and the workers each took a bag to the lamppost of the black light lamp for manual assisted catching. Bugs, the bugs fluttered around them, some fell on their hair, and some people screamed because the bugs crawled into their clothes, and quickly called their companions to help him get them out.

"There are so many worms, these ducks can't finish them, right?" There were workers who caught worms in twos and threes, talking while working.

"If you can't finish eating, send it to the nursery center, where you can save some feed." Another person said.

"Bah, stop talking, the bugs are all in your mouth."

"Fuck, so many, you can use a broom to sweep them."

There were indeed a lot of bugs flying towards them from all directions. That night, the black lights by the Xinnan River were turned off after only being turned on for more than two hours. Qiu Cheng knew that they had caught enough bugs.

After the black light on their side was turned off, many bugs that flew halfway suddenly lost their target, and instinctively flew towards the nearest light source.

"Oh! Where did so many bugs come from?" Soon, someone downstairs exclaimed.

"Close the windows! Shut the windows!"

"Close the windows quickly, every household, there are a lot of bugs tonight." Someone warmly reminded the neighbors before closing the windows.

Qiu Cheng had already turned off all the lights in the house when he discovered the black light was on by the river. He and Ah Chang lived in this building above the ninth floor, and all the lights in their house were turned off. , it is naturally dark above, basically no bugs fly towards them.

"Let's go out and catch bugs." Qiu Cheng called Ah Chang, and the two of them came down from the roof together. Recently, the chickens in their house have grown bigger and bigger, and their food intake has also increased. Bugs are such a thing Not too much.

When they went out, both of them wore gloves, and each of them carried a big sack. Inside the sack were bottles of various sizes. The openings of these bottles were very small, and it was difficult for insects to get out after getting in. C'mon, wear gloves because some bugs have a strong smell, some bugs drop powder on their wings, and some bugs sting or bite.

Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang have caught a lot of bugs these days, and they have already gained experience in catching them.

When the two of them walked downstairs, they met a lot of people in their community who were planning to go out to catch bugs. Qiu Cheng basically knew these people, because most of them had bought voles from him before.

The food intake of voles is not very large, but for some people who are not good at catching bugs, it is not so easy to catch their daily food intake. If there are no bugs, they can be raised with more grass roots and grass seeds. Voles are often not as fat as other people's voles.

"Xiaoqiu, are you coming down too?" Qiu Chenggang greeted the people downstairs, and Aunt Chen's family also came down from upstairs. Because it was night, several young people in their family were at home, and they all came together at this time Out.

"Yeah, where are you going to catch bugs?" Seeing that they were still carrying a charging lamp, Qiu Cheng obviously didn't just plan to catch a few under the street lights in the community.

"My daughter said that the street lights on the main road outside are bright, and there must be more bugs than our side. We plan to go there, and there is another litter of rat cubs at home, which can be eaten." Aunt Chen laughed, obviously very happy Well, the female rats that Qiu Cheng gave to their family were all relatively good. No, they have already laid two litters.

"Let's go there too." Qiu Cheng originally planned to go there, but just now on the roof, he saw many insects flying under the row of street lights.

"That happened to be together." Aunt Chen smiled.The road is very long and there are many street lamps. They are not afraid of being robbed by them at all. It is good to be with Qiu Cheng and his brothers. At night, they are afraid of encountering bad people. The reason why they bring charging lights is actually to strengthen their courage. , From their community to the main road outside, the street lights on both sides of the small road are not very bright.

"Hey, let's go there too. Anyway, there are so many bugs, and the weather is hot. If you don't open the windows, you can't stay at home. It's better to go out for a walk."

"You don't know how to turn on the air conditioner when it's hot?"

"The electricity bill is so expensive, it cost more than three yuan at one time, who can afford it?"

"You don't know the current price? More than three yuan is already a big conscience price."

"I know it's a price of conscience, but the problem is that we don't have that much money."

"..."

A group of people walked towards the main road while talking, and when they got to the place, they saw that there were indeed a lot of insects, so they dispersed in groups of three or four, and went to catch the insects individually.

There were many insects flying under each street lamp. Many insects were tired from flying and were crawling on the ground. Everyone bent down to pick them up. Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang also took the bottles out of the sack and joined the Pick up the ranks to go.

The most they picked up that night were scarabs. Scarabs crawled on the cement road, and occasionally some scarabs flapped their wings and flew up, buzzing like a small whirlwind, and hit people with a "pop" Quietly, but quite vigorously.

Qiu Cheng grabbed a bottle full of worms, tightened the cap and put it in a sack, then took out an empty bottle from it, his eyes swept across the fields beside the road, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

On the opposite side of the New South University, on the other side of the road, there is also a field. The corn seedlings in the field have grown to the height of a person. At this time, Qiu Chengcheng saw many insects crawling on these corn seedlings.

On the other side of the field, several men came towards them carrying hoes and poles. It was probably because they were a little noisy, and the people watching the field were afraid that they would steal the crops in the field.This is not surprising. A few days ago, Qiu Cheng was standing on the roof and saw a few people pulling out a few corn plants that had not yet produced ears of corn from the field by the roadside, scraping off the leaves, and using the corn stalks as sugar cane bite.

"Drink! What are you doing here?" After those people came over, they really didn't give them a good face.

"Catch the bugs, take them back and feed them to the voles, but my fellow, don't you care about so many bugs in your field?" Qiu Cheng said, pointing to the corn field.

"Insects?" These people obviously haven't noticed it yet. The main reason is that these insects come too fast. Under natural conditions, as long as there is no serious insect disaster, generally such large-scale insects will not appear in such a short period of time.

"Oh! Oh, evil, there are so many bugs, the cornfields are going to be destroyed."

The young people in Aunt Chen’s family heard Qiu Cheng say that there were many worms in the cornfield by the roadside, so they turned on the charging lights they brought out, and took photos in the field. Sure enough, they saw a lot of worms. I have climbed a lot.

An aunt from the Jiayuan community who was catching insects with them, saw this situation, and cried out distressedly on the spot, such a large cornfield, how many good corns should there be when it grows, it can't just be destroyed like this .

At this time, the few men who were in charge of guarding the land also noticed something unusual, and all of them had ugly faces.

"How come there are so many bugs all of a sudden?"

"It's so fucking wrong!"

"I still care so much now, hurry up and call someone to come and arrest!"

"It's terrible! I'll go to the city and call some brothers over."

"Hurry up, go by motorcycle, remember to bring some pesticides, we don't have much here."

"know."

"Hey, remember to bring your ID card with you, don't let Lao Tzu lose everything and delay things."

"Don't worry, take it with you every day."

"Hurry up if you want to catch bugs. After a while, it will be sprayed with pesticides, and it will be difficult to take them back to feed the livestock."

The young man who looked like a little boss said to Qiu Cheng and the others at this time.If it weren't for these people, they might not be able to find the bugs in the ground until tonight. At this time, his attitude is much better than before.

The people in Jiayuan Community heard the news, and they all speeded up the speed of picking up bugs. Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang did the same. If these people spray pesticides in the fields beside the road, the bugs on the road will definitely be polluted.

Soon, there was movement at the other end of the field. Someone had already started spraying pesticides from that end, and sometimes a faint light flashed in the field. They didn't dare to turn on the light at this time, for fear of attracting more people. Lots of bugs.

The young man who went to the city to carry the rescue came back soon, and a man was pulled behind the motorcycle. The man was carrying a backpack on his back. After getting off the car, he threw the backpack into the arms of the little boss just now: "That's all, let me save my mother's use!"

The little leader took the backpack and quickly arranged for someone to take it to the field to spray it, so that the person must count on it, so that the pesticides would be gone before the crops were sprayed again in the end.

"Tell me, what's going on, these fucking bugs almost buried my crops, and you didn't find out until now?" The man watched his subordinates explain everything, and finally Find him to settle accounts.

"Brother Huang, there must be something wrong here. In the evening, when it was still dark, I took a few brothers to patrol, and they were all fine at that time. I didn't see a few bugs at all. There were a few bugs, so let us go smoothly. They were all arrested." The little boss didn't seem very flustered, since he was entrusted with important tasks, he was naturally not the kind of incompetent person who was timid and timid.

"Hmph, this matter must be investigated. If it is found that the problem is on you, you can wait and see. If the problem is not on you, I will definitely not wrong you. Spraying it will definitely not finish the matter. You will take the brothers to the fields later. Catch bugs, everyone must have worked hard all night tonight, remember to give everyone subsidies tomorrow."

That Brother Huang finished talking bitterly, and under the leadership of his subordinates, he went to the nearby fields to look around. When he returned to the side of the road, he looked at the nearby residents who were hurrying to pick bugs , and soon set his sights on Qiu Cheng and the others.

"Brother, today is really thanks to you. I heard from my brother that you were the first to discover the bugs." When Brother Huang talked to Qiu Cheng and the others, he didn't face the ferocity of his subordinates at all.

"Yes." Qiu Cheng said.In fact, he also knows this brother Huang. He saw it once when he went to the morning market to buy seeds. It was the turtle yellow. He had heard this name mentioned by Boss Bai in the provincial capital before.

"Thanks to your help today, brother, if you encounter any troubles in the future, feel free to come to me, tortoise yellow, and I will definitely help if I can." Tortoise yellow patted Qiu Cheng on the shoulder and said.

"!" Ah Chang's gaze, which was originally looking at this side, froze suddenly, and locked the hand he put on Qiu Cheng's shoulder.

"Hey, no ill intentions, we have no ill intentions." Turtle Huang has been in society for a long time, and he is very sensitive to murderous intent. When Ah Chang saw this, he immediately retracted his hand. The fucking man is flexible. , is it important to have face and shoulders?
