Original War

Chapter 631

When Shao Xuan arrived at the farmland, Ao and the people responsible for guarding the farmland were already there tonight.

Those people have tools in their hands. In addition to hunting weapons such as own knives and axes, there are also special tools for guarding farmland, such as large nets woven by vines, long-pole dip nets, and giant weapons. such as. These are also prepared on weekdays, but most of them are only used during the day and used less at night.

“Are you all ready?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Well, just wait for you to start.” Ao said.

The farm guards who were called over were still puzzled. They didn’t know what was going on with Ao calling them over, but when they were puzzled, they would still follow the instructions of the two Elders.

Shao Xuan looked around and asked one of the guards: “Where are the most bugs at night here on weekdays?”

“Which side is the most?” The guard thought for a while, and showed Shao Xuan his finger. “That’s it.”

The more precious crops are planted there, most of which are given by Jiju, and it is also close to the place where Thousand Grains of Gold is planted.

“Then try it over there.” Shao Xuan held the water moon stone in his hand and passed.

The two moons in the sky were blocked by clouds again soon after they came out, and the moonlight on the ground quickly disappeared.

The bugs who didn’t know where to scream paused because of the disappearance of the moon, and then continued to scream.

The surroundings are very dark, but given how familiar everyone is with the farmland here, it won’t happen to accidentally walk into the ditch. Moreover, although the surroundings are very dark, with their eyesight, even if they cannot see clearly at night, the burning fire on the ground allows them to see nearby scenery.

Shao Xuan did not start at the edge of the farmland, but a little distance away from the farmland. He poured out the “inferior products” of water moonstones in animal skin bags, piled them together, and arranged them in a circle. .

“Turn out the torch, everyone retreat first.” Shao Xuan said.

The people who followed him did what Shao Xuan said, and all the torches they held were also extinguished.

Because of the banquet, many patrols and guards here are very frugal. They rarely use moonstones to illuminate them. Although they don’t think that a banquet can feed their tribe into poverty, but I feel that it is always good to save some. So from the day when they knew they were going to prepare the feast, everyone saved it by appointment. In the tribe, no water moonstone was used when torches were available. Even if the Yanhe Feast was over, they still didn’t immediately change this. The habit of saving.

Therefore, when Ao came to ask them before, they couldn’t tell whether the water moonstone sucked insects or not, because they had been using torches recently.

The surroundings were all darkened, and there was no light at all. In this way, the place where the moonstones were stacked was very conspicuous.

Each water moon stone is relatively dark, dozens of pieces are gathered together, the brightness has also increased a lot, even if the brightness is still not comparable to the high-quality water moon stone, but it wins more, clusters into clusters, and the area of ​​light becomes larger.

After retreating, Shao Xuan condensed his breath and tried to weaken his own existence.

The others had already received Ao’s instructions and knew what to do. When Shao Xuan and Ao were hiding their breath, they quickly followed suit. But they all stared curiously at the ball of water and moon stones.

What use are those dim water moon stones? Bug fishing?

The surrounding area was very quiet. There was a faint sound from the hill where the tribesmen lived, and there was also the sound of insects in the nearby woods, but everyone did not pay attention to them.

Shao Xuan listened carefully to the sounds around him.

In the farmland, there are some artificially dug ditches, and the water is moving.

The night wind blows, and the crop leaves in the farmland rub against each other, making an awkward sound.

Um?

Shao Xuan tilted his head slightly and listened carefully to the movement from one direction.

It was like a sound coming from the farmland.

Woo-Woo-

A beating sound came over here.

There is also the sound of rapid flapping wings approaching in the sky. Those are flying insects that are active at night.

A slender figure appeared in the pile of water and moon stones, and the black figure was quite conspicuous in the pile of water and moon stones that glowed with dim light.

it works!

Shao Xuan was overjoyed.

When I saw that figure, I kept staring at the soldiers guarding the farmland over there, with raised eyebrows.

Although they couldn’t see it completely, they knew what bug it was only by seeing that figure. That kind of bug is one of the kinds of bugs that annoy them the most, because that kind of bug often moves on the ground. It stays underground during the day and emerges from the ground at night. They cannot be prevented unless an underground fence is installed in the farmland.

Moreover, the insects are not afraid of the insecticides they burned, and they can’t be driven away with smoke. Every morning they see many wormholes in the leaves in the farmland, they hate their teeth.

Unexpectedly, the dim water and moon stones placed there could really attract those troublesome bugs!

Almost at the same time that the insect arrived, there were some other nocturnal flying insects flying in the air, and more and more.

Soon, I probably felt that there was no danger around. Other insects hidden in trees, grass, and farmland also flew towards this side, as if there was something here that was attracting them.

There are more and more black shadows covering the water and moon stones. The big and small, the long and short, the winged but not winged, and the beating flying, all begin to concentrate over there, and even some are in order to grab the bright spot. And fight.

When the pile of water, moon and rocks was almost completely covered by the insect body, and the sound of flapping wings was everywhere in the air, Shao Xuan yelled, “Move!”

All of a sudden, the people who scooped the net rushed past and whispered a few times, and put the densely concentrated flying insect nets in the air into the net bag, and then went down with a beat.

Snapped!

The flying insects in the net bag were smashed.

The insects on the ground are directly beaten by the person holding the giant ***. In this case, the closer the insects are to the pile of water, moon and rocks, the harder it is to escape the area where they were shot to death.

After everything was over, Shao Xuan took a wooden stick and looked at the various insects by the light of the water moon stone. Some of the bugs on the ground have not been smashed but have lost the ability to move and cannot go far.

Shao Xuan was about to travel far, and he was still walking down the Yanhe River, so the insects they would encounter might be similar to these. He wanted to see what they had.

Shao Xuan picked up a few bugs and put them in a cloth belt that he brought over. The few picked out were all intact and rare bugs in the ordinary days. Among them, there are several kinds of bugs that look very fierce, poisonous needles or For those with fangs, the protective color on their bodies is easy to overlook. If they are not caught at night, even if they are seen in the daytime, they may not be found.

These have to be seen by those who will travel far, so that they can also be on guard.

Ao has already asked people to clean up here, to sweep the corpses together, and wait for the people who take care of the farmland tomorrow to see if it can be made into fertilizer.

“How?” Ao came over and asked Shao Xuan, looking very happy.

Can you be upset? Knowing that these water moonstones, which can almost be regarded as waste products, have such a function of attracting insects. Although it may not solve the fundamental problem, it can at least alleviate the damage of insects at night to the farmland. Effective, that’s enough.”It’s okay, but there are limitations. Not all the insects caught are crop-eating insects.” Shao Xuandao, “Moreover, if there are no clouds at night, these effects may not be very good. It is more effective to use high-quality water moon stones. ”

“Of course I know this, but the insects that eat crops still account for the majority. As for the moonlight, look at the sky, there may be clouds in the evening these days, even if it just blocks the moonlight for a while.” The effect is as good as it is, and it is better than the waste of water, moon and stone, and a bug that can’t be caught at night in the farmland.

“Then tomorrow, I will get some water moon stones of this kind from the Enemy Tribe?” Ao asked.

“Can.”

This can be regarded as a trap for night insects.

The next day, Ao went to the other side to find the leader of the Mao tribe.

Knowing that Yanjiao needed those “failed products,” the leader of the Mae tribe, without saying anything, dragged out a few big bags to Ao. Even if Ao wanted to convert the price to them, Fanmu firmly refused. For the people of the Mae tribe, These are really useless. If you keep them to waste in the warehouse, you won’t be able to sell them at a high price, so they are all given to Ao.

However, Ao didn’t want everything. He took nearly two-thirds and left one-third of them to the people of the Zuo tribe. By the way, he told the people of the Zuo tribe about what happened last night. Shao Xuan agreed.

The people of this tribe are short of food. Although they don’t like to eat insects, the insects that fly out from the forests on the other side of the river are full of fierce beasts. It’s okay to have a lot of flavor. Moreover, those insects have already begun to fly over the river. I am active here, but the people of the Enemy tribe live too close to the firepit where the fire was once placed. Even if the original fire no longer exists, some of the breath in the fire still remains, and the insects dare not fly near.

“It can be like this!” Fanmu felt very strange. They have owned water moon stones for so long, but they haven’t noticed such a situation.

“You can try a little farther, maybe you can catch some.” Ao suggested.

“Thanks for letting me know!”

The people in Yanjiao were very grateful for the fact that the people in Yanjiao would impart experience and skills. They asked the patrol people to try it out that night. Some were really caught, and the patrol people baked it for a supper.

On the side of Yanjiao, the water moonstone, which was originally a waste product, was divided down. At night, in the farmland, when the moon is covered by clouds, you will hear pops and pops soon.

“Hey, lighten it a little! Don’t make it all into fertilizer, it’s a larger one, and see if you can eat it!” someone shouted while waving the net.

“I know!” The man holding the giant rattan made of wood, responded while busy patting.

After the filming is over, they will clean the ground, pick out the large bugs that are still intact, eat the ones that can be eaten, and put them aside to wait for the people who grow the land to make fertilizer. As for the bugs that they don’t know, They will try it carefully. For people in Yanjiao, eating insects is nothing.

This situation occurs in several places around farmland.

For a long time since then, the guards of Yanjiao in the farmland at night have one more activity-guarding the water moon stones and waiting for supper.
