Chapter 136 Catching Bugs
"Goddess, what we planted was eaten by something. Shen Xiaoxiao was still eating, but when she heard this, she stood up immediately, "What? "
"Go and take a look. There are holes in the leaves."
Shen Xiaoxiao understood as soon as she heard that she should have been eaten by insects. She hurried to the field. Others gathered around with worried eyes. When she saw Shen Xiaoxiao, she felt like she had seen a savior. "Goddess, what should I do? ?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked over and saw that it was terrible to see. The green and tender vegetable leaves were chewed into tatters. She lowered her head and opened the vegetable leaves and found a big fat insect inside. Fortunately, she found it early, otherwise it would have been two days late. There is no need to ask for these dishes.
"Is this the worm that has eaten up our food?" Someone asked indignantly, wanting to eat this worm.
"Yes, the most important thing now is to catch all the bugs, otherwise the vegetables will be eaten." The vegetables have been eaten, and the important thing now is to solve the problem. The loss is not serious. It is correct to clean up the bugs first. It's my fault that she only thought about how to fertilize and forgot about deworming.
However, there are no pesticides here, so we have to use stupid methods to catch the insects. However, catching the insects manually is not an option. Especially when the vegetables grow strong later, it will be difficult to catch the insects manually. If you pull out the vegetable leaves like now, Come on, there’s no need to ask for that dish.
She had to get some medicine to kill insects. She remembered that the roots of wolfsbane could kill insects. They could be dried and made into powder for spraying, or they could be boiled with water or soaked in water for a day and night to achieve the effect.
There are also flavescens, hellebore, gutwort, polygonum, and Polygonum...all effective against this kind of cabbage caterpillar.
The incident happened suddenly, and she was not prepared before, so now she had to rely on stupid methods. When the medicine was collected and sprayed regularly, she would not have to worry about pests.
"Goddess, do we have to keep watching from now on?" Someone asked worriedly. These dishes were eaten in just one night. What if we don't keep watching and they are eaten?
"No, I already have a solution. You guys need to catch the bugs first, and I'll collect the medicine. When the time comes, I'll spray the medicine on it so you don't have to worry about the pests."
When they heard Shen Xiaoxiao said there was a way, they were relieved and quickly started to catch the insects. Shen Xiaoxiao asked them to put them in a bucket and give the insects to the chickens. Now the tribe has begun to raise some chickens and ducks. They went If they saw cattle or sheep while hunting, they would try to catch them alive, but they were not that easy to catch. After so long, they only managed to catch two sheep.
After that, Shen Xiaoxiao went to collect medicine, and since she didn't have much medicine prepared, she wanted to take this opportunity to collect more medicine.
"Xiaoxiao, are all your people so powerful?"
Shen Xiaoxiao's movements of digging for medicine remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "That's not true, but our life is better than this, and it is convenient to do anything." This was the first time Xiao Yan took the initiative to mention this matter. He knew very well that Shen Xiaoxiao was not from this world. Shen Xiaoxiao had said it once before but he avoided talking about it. He didn't know why he mentioned it again today.
"Then you...there's nothing wrong with you." Xiao Yan shook his head, but his eyes were full of uneasiness. When Shen Xiaoxiao looked up, he had already put away these emotions.
Shen Xiaoxiao stared at her for a while and said, "No matter what happens in the future, at least we are together now."
In fact, she didn't know if she could go back, but she always thought about it in her heart. After all, she still had relatives, and they must be anxious when she disappeared suddenly. Moreover, although the little old man didn't say it, he loved her the most. She He was gone, and he didn't know how anxious he was.
But she also had a relationship with Xiao Yan, and she couldn't bear to leave like this, so she didn't think about whether she could go back, and just let nature take its course. She didn't want to make any commitment to Xiao Yan, after all, she didn't know what the situation was. .
"Okay, don't think so much. Look at you, your brows are as wrinkled as an old man's." Shen Xiaoxiao touched his frowning brows with her slender hand, "The most important thing now is to collect the medicine first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
"Yeah." Xiao Yan responded in a low voice.
Although there were only two people, their speed was not slow and they quickly filled most of the basket.
"Let's take a break." Xiao Yan helped her wipe the sweat off her forehead and handed her some water, "Okay." Shen Xiaoxiao took a sip of the water and wiped the sweat casually, "It's been a good day. hot."
"Well, it will stop getting hot after a while."
"Dig more and go back." This much is enough. Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. As soon as they stood up, they saw a person running towards them in a panic, followed by a group of people. Xiao Yan will Shen Xiao Xiao stood behind him, already holding a knife in his hand, looking at them warily.
Shen Xiaoxiao also held a knife in her hand and looked guarded. When she saw the person clearly, she was a little shocked. It turned out to be Qingmu from the Nanhua tribe, and what followed behind him was a cannibal. Shen Xiaoxiao became even more nervous, holding on to his hand. Xiao Yan's arm.
Seeing them, Aoki seemed to have seen a savior, "Xiao Yan, save me, save me quickly." But soon he was surrounded by the cannibals behind him. Aoki did not give up and still shouted loudly, "Xiao Yan , help me, I am Qingmu from the Nanhua tribe, help me.”
Xiao Yan was unmoved. He had not settled with him the matter of him teaming up with Scarface to rob their tribe before. If he was alone, he might have taken care of it, but now that Xiaoxiao is with him, he must protect him. Good Xiaoxiao, if he puts Xiaoxiao in danger because of his help, then he will never forgive himself.
Soon Aoki's voice died down, and the group of cannibals looked at them, lowering their heads and whispering something. They also looked at them from time to time, with the excitement of watching prey in their eyes.
Xiao Yan held Shen Xiaoxiao's hand and whispered, "Xiao Xiao, you go first, I'll hold them back."
"No." Shen Xiaoxiao refused immediately, "Let's go together." And there were so many people on the other side, it might not be a good idea to go separately. Afraid that Xiao Yan would insist, she said again, "You know, I can't run fast, there are so many of them, they will definitely catch up with me."
Xiao Yan didn't insist anymore, "Let's run together, you must hold on to me."
"Yeah."
At this time, the cannibals also stopped talking, walked towards them slowly, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, and even their eyes were determined to win, as if the two of them were already prey in their mouths.
"Run." Xiao Yan whispered, pulling Shen Xiaoxiao forward and running quickly through the forest, and the cannibals behind them also chased after them and followed them closely.
Shen Xiaoxiao was breathing rapidly, but she didn't dare to stop, because she knew that once she stopped, what awaited them would be death.
Shen Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that the cannibals were getting closer and closer to them. She gritted her teeth and persisted, panting, "Xiao Yan, go by yourself, I can't do it anymore." She knew that if she didn't take him with her, Xiao Yan would definitely be able to get rid of this group of people. She was dragging him down.
Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but just held her hand tightly and kept running forward with her.
But soon they were forced to stop because there was no way ahead, and there was a cliff blocking them.
The cannibals behind them also noticed this, and suddenly slowed down, looked at them playfully, and approached them step by step.
