Chapter 306 Bee Wasp
"I said Brother Junqi, do you know where the wild honeycomb is? It's almost half an hour and I haven't found the place yet." Liu Junhao wiped the sweat from his forehead, then sat on the big stone and complained.
"My wife said it was on this mountain, why can't I find it when I came?" Liu Junqi was also quite confused. He had just looked up and down the hillside, but he couldn't find where the honeycomb was. There were many big trees on the mountain, but not many suitable bees to build nests. The site selection of beehives is very harsh, that is, it is necessary to avoid the sun properly and ventilate. Therefore, honeycombs are generally not built on those lush and foliagey trees, but instead they will build the nest on sparse neem or willow trees. This kind of honeycomb looks clear at a glance and is easy to be discovered.
"I found it, I found it. The honeycomb is under the leaves of the wolfberry tree. Come and see it quickly." At this time, Zhao Guangming suddenly shouted under the wolfberry tree.
It was really on the hairy wolfberry tree that the two of them suddenly realized that this bee could learn to play hide and seek.
Several people rushed to Zhao Guangming, but glared at him for a minute but couldn't find where the honeycomb was.
"What are your eyes? Did you see the bent branch, which is close to the main trunk." Zhao Guangming pointed at Mao Gushu.
"I saw it too, it's so long and so big..." Sun Yutao couldn't help but exclaim. After hearing his second half of the sentence in amazement, Xu Dongfang almost burst out laughing. If this was heard on a different occasion, it would be destined to make people misunderstand something in harmony.
Liu Junhao discovered the location of the honeycomb from a different angle: it was indeed very hidden, and the branches of the hairy wolf tree happened to form a bow shape, and the leaves of the hairy wolf tree were wide, like palms. In addition, the place was lush and leaves were lush, so it would be really difficult to find if you didn't look carefully.
However, seeing the hive clearly, he also sighed like Sun Yutao: "This is too big."
The honeycomb is four or five meters high from the ground. The honeycomb is gray-brown and looks very long, about one meter. It looks like a hanging stalactite, with the widest part of the top being as big as a washbasin. However, what is strange is that there is also a layer of earthy protective film on the honeycomb, which is rare in wild honeycombs.
"How is it? I'll tell you that it's good to let me follow me, otherwise you won't be able to find it in one hour. Let's talk first, how about giving me some of the honey if I get it later?" This was the first time Liu Junhao discovered that this guy was purely a man, and he said something like shooting a machine gun.
"Don't worry, you must be indispensable. I will attract half of the honey bees and honey to give you." Liu Junqi was also smiling from ear to ear now. The size of the bee hive was completely beyond his expectations. It looked like that, there were hundreds of thousands of bees inside. So many bees collect honey, how much honey should there be in the honeycomb? It's estimated that 100,000 pounds are less than 100,000 pounds. Based on the pound of wild honey for 80 yuan, it's also more than 1,000 yuan. There is also this bee... It's a continuous source of wealth when catching it home.
The honeycomb was discovered by Zhao Guangming first, so it was purely normal to give him some.
"It's rare to see such a big hive..." Xu Dongfang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Do a little bit, I'll pick honeycombs up the tree." It's said that I'm a hero and a hero. The hairy child climbing trees is as nimble as a monkey, so he naturally doesn't give in. Liu Junqi tied the window gauze bag to his waist. Then he hugged the tree trunk with both hands, and jumped several times to the branches.
The few people below held their breath, fearing that they would accidentally startled the bees. Seeing that Liu Junqi had already reached the waist of the tree, only one meter away from the beehive, he suddenly shouted: "My God..." and then hugged the tree trunk tightly with both hands, as if his soul was gone.
"What happened? Why didn't you climb up?" Zhao Guangming asked anxiously.
"..." Liu Junqi couldn't speak at all, and his hands were trembling and hugging the tree trunk and sliding down. Only when he was two meters away from the beehive, his movements returned to normal and he rushed down the tree.
"Oh my God..." The man squatted on the ground as soon as he got off the tree, as if all his strength had been consuming all his energy just now.
"Brother Junqi, what's wrong with that honeycomb?" Liu Junhao had already vaguely guessed that the honeycomb was strange.
"Such a big hornet's nest... If I were tortured just now, I would have been stung to death." Liu Junqi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said with lingering fear.
"Honey nest? How can there be such a big horny nest? It is obviously a wild horny nest?" Zhao Guangming turned his head and looked at the tree, but he still didn't see any difference this time.
"If you don't believe it, you can go up and see it clearly. My God, there are hornets on it, and there are probably tens of thousands of them." Liu Junqi's expression finally recovered.
"It's really a hornet's nest." Liu Junhao felt a little strange just now. Now he stared at the big eyes and saw that the honeycomb was not connected at all, but was distributed in layers, densely connected between layers, like a hanging Lingling pagoda. More importantly, it was obvious that the bees were not flying above.
"I don't believe it. It's true to see it when I go up." Zhao Guangming made a gesture of not believing it at all, and wanted to climb up the tree with a stance. But he found that after waiting for a long time, no one could dissuade him.
"Forget it." This guy really didn't have the courage to go up, so he could only find a way for himself.
"This is what my sister-in-law saw last time, right?" Liu Junhao asked. The honeycomb is unique in shape, and it will definitely attract attention when taken and hung in the yard. But now is not the time. You can only do it when you wait for winter or early spring. At that time, the hornet's nest was usually an empty nest, without any danger.
"No, she said that seemed to be on a neem tree." After his spirit completely recovered, Liu Junqiu remembered his wife's advice.
"Then let's look for it..." After Liu Junhao said that, several people dispersed again.
In a minute, Zhao Guangming shouted again: "I found another one, you all come here..."
"It's not a hornet's nest, right?" Liu Junhao asked in confusion.
"Damn, it's a honeycomb. I've seen bees." Zhao Guangming said confidently.
This time it was true, but the honeycomb was a little smaller, only as big as a basketball, which was far from the hornet's nest just now. The bees were flying around the branches, looking like a busy scene.
"I remember that bees and hornets seem to be natural enemies, they cannot coexist. These two honeycombs are so close. Why haven't they seen any fight?"
"How is it possible? Wasps specialize in eating bees. This nest of bees must have been eaten by hornets, but we didn't notice it." Liu Junhao specially checked the bees when he collected them a few days ago, so he happened to know the information about this. "Bees are not completely unresistent. When they encounter hornets, they will surround them in groups, and use the human sea tactic to wrap the hornets in the middle, and then flap their wings and continuously generate heat, which will steam the hornets to death."
"It's nonsense. You'll still die of steaming, it's not a hundred degrees. I guess the bees can't stand it... It's almost the same to say you're suffocating." Zhao Guangming, the boy, clearly didn't believe it.
"This is true. I have also read similar information. It is said that after bees wrap the hornets, the temperature in the center can reach about 45 degrees in a short time, which is enough to steam the hornets to death. The heat-resistant temperature of the bees is as high as fifty degrees." Sun Yutao then interrupted.
He is considered half an expert, and Zhao Guangming cannot help but believe the same words come out of his mouth.
"Stop talking, hurry up and pick the honeycomb." Liu Junqi could not wait when he heard the few people whine.
With the last experience, he was very careful when climbing the tree this time. He climbed near the beehive and slowly opened the window gauze bag, and then put the beehive in bit by bit.
"Don't bees sting?" Zhao Guangming asked another question at this time.
"It's okay, as long as you move slowly and don't let the bees feel hostile, they won't attack." Liu Junhao picked honey, so he knows a lot about this situation.
After removing the honeycomb and the nest, Liu Junqi carefully climbed down the tree with a cloth bag.
"The honey is not available at this time. I am afraid that the bees will run away as soon as the holes open. When you come back, you can come to my house to get it?" He was still thinking about the honey given to Zhao Guangming, and he explained as soon as he stood firm on the ground.
"Yes" Zhao Guangming was a free and easy person, so he naturally wouldn't care.
After collecting the beehive, several people remembered that they had some serious things to do. Liu Junqi carried the beehive home, and several people continued walking along the mountain stream.
Is it to look for Zhu?, but this purposeless method is more suitable for playing. Xu Dongfang and Sun Yutao's eyes are completely focused on the surrounding big trees. Zhu? Usually, he lives on tall trees and only flies to the mountain stream to find food when he is foraging. Therefore, the direction of attention between the two cannot be wrong.
On the contrary, Zhao Guangming glanced around, sometimes in the sky and sometimes in the ground.
"Wow, big fish." He suddenly screamed. Seeing that several people ignored him, the guy suddenly grabbed Liu Junhao and said, "Really, I saw it under that stone. It seemed to be carrying four legs."
"Four legs are toads," Liu Junhao replied, but he was quite surprised. He would not have encountered giant salamander.
In order to distract him, Liu Junhao had to think of him and asked Zhao Guangming to find a bird's nest for him to identify.
Like Pang Xu, this guy was also very suspicious of Liu Junhao's ability and kept pointing at the bird's nest on the tree for him to guess.
"No, Liu Junhao, you are so awesome." After finding more than ten bird nests, Zhao Guangming had to admit that they were indeed tall.
Only then did Xu Dongfang and the others know why Mr. Liu Wu recommended Liu Junhao as a guide for them. They really have the goods in their hearts.
It was not until twelve o'clock that several people stopped. Liu Junhao's unique skill of catching fish once again shocked everyone. Zhao Guangming was so envious that he insisted on following him to become a disciple.
Sprinkle the fish with seasonings and roast it on the fire. Liu Junhao patted Xiaopi's head again and asked it to lead the black panther to catch rabbits in the forest.
"I'll keep up, and I've never had a chance to show my performance all morning with the crossbow." When Zhao Guangming heard that he was going to hunt, he became interested.
"Save some use, once your crossbow arrow is shot, it will be difficult to find. If there is no crossbow arrow, this thing will become a decoration. If we really encounter wild boars, we still expect it to help..." Liu Junhao hurriedly reminded him.
"Don't worry, my buddy has practiced countless times at home. The hit rate of poplar trees with a thick hand and neck is more than 90%, and they are definitely a sharpshooter." He explained with serene satisfaction.
"The poplar tree with a thick neck of the Sagittarius is called the Sagittarius. Don't disgust me." Liu Junhao almost laughed. His face was really not red when he said this.
"Damn, try playing and tell you that this accurate head is already very powerful." Zhao Guangming said dissatisfied.
"I'm not used to using high-tech things. A slingshot is enough." Liu Junhao said, taking out the slingshot that was tied to his waist, taking a marble and pointing at a branch about ten meters and saying, "If you see clearly, it's that branch."
"Pa" is not a slight difference, and the branch slightly thicker than the thumb breaks with a crack. This slingshot was specially made last time, with four rubber bands, which are quite powerful.
"Try your luck, you can use this plastic cloth." Liu Junhao said, clamping a small piece of plastic cloth in his hand onto a branch.
"Pa" Zhao Guangming had just turned around, but the plastic cloth had been knocked down.
"This is the real sharpshooter." Sun Yutao couldn't help but applaud. Although he didn't play with slingshots, he also knew how difficult it was to become such a accurate head.
"I don't dare to call it that name. There are many people in the village who have higher slingshots than me." Liu Junhao shook his head and put away his slingshot.
"The sun. 'He Shengyu, He Shengliang' I knew I wouldn't come with you, and the blow was too big. Now I have lost my confidence..." Zhao Guangming sighed very much, and then put away the crossbow honestly.
"If you want to play, just play this one, there are so many stones in the mountains."
"Just try it," he gritted his teeth and pulled the slingshot apart, and shot at the poplar tree not far away, but ended up... hitting the pine tree next to him.
In less than half an hour, Xiaopi and Black Panther ran back with a hare in each.
This time, Liu Junhao brought a short blade, and it was just right to use it to peel the rabbit. He did this job smoothly. In ten minutes, the two rabbits were peeled clean. Eight pieces were removed and washed with clean water and hung on the branches.
The fat rabbit legs quickly squeaked under the barbecue on the fire. When it was half cooked, sprinkle with the seasonings, and a fragrance came to your nose.
"I didn't expect you to have this trick," Zhao Guangming couldn't help but suck and shouted.
"Have you heard that saying, 'In the big forest, you can't be like a guest, you should be like a master' Just like you, throw it into the mountain for a week, you will starve to death." Liu Junhao gave him a blank look and handed over the roasted rabbit legs, "How about trying it?"
"Hiss... so hot, fragrant, smooth, chewy... to my taste." Zhao Guangming couldn't wait to take a big bite, and then jumped hotly on the spot. After finally swallowing the rabbit meat, he leaned forward and shouted, "I didn't say anything, Brother Liu, I love you so much."
"Don't disgust me, get out of here." Liu Junhao kicked the man in the ass, and then gave the remaining rabbit legs to Xu Dongfang and each of them.
The four people were just four hind legs, and the grilled fish was enough to eat. The remaining rabbit meat was distributed to Xiaopi and Black Panther by Liu Junhao. After all, they made the most contribution.
