Chapter 315 314. Osmanthus Tree [ask for monthly ticket]
Since there is no rush, Huaiyu is not in a hurry at all.
Boil a kettle of water, boil eggs, reheat the chicken soup and mashed potatoes... Although except for the eldest and second kids, the other guys didn't dare to park the car, the pace was quite leisurely.
So much so that Zhou Qian didn't even feel like he was facing an unknown mutated wasp the size of a grape. Instead, after eating, he watched Huai Yu pack up the pile of colorful pheasant feathers that he had collected last night.
"Don't clean it up."
These have been boiled in boiling water, the grease has been removed, and they will rot soon: "I'll make you something nice next time I see them."
Huaiyu sighed: "I just think it's a pity that she is so beautiful."
She then washed her hands again, checked her coat, hat, glasses, and mask one by one, and put the eldest and second cubs into the car.
That way, if a hornet follows you and gets on your car when you try to escape, at least you don't have to fight alone.
"My dear! Mom's life and death depends on you!"
Huaiyu stroked her sea urchin goose.
Zhou Qian looked at her unscathed palm, then looked at the insignificant red dot on his finger, and couldn't help asking, "Just... stroke these thorns, how does it feel?"
"This is feather!" Huaiyu emphasized: "Goose feather!"
She has her own reasons: "I couldn't understand it at first, but then I thought, the first and second cubs almost died in the goose egg! It's normal for goslings to not fully develop. When they grow up and become adults, their feathers will grow out completely."
Zhou Qian didn't quite believe it: "A goose of seven or eight months should be considered an adult, right?"
Huaiyu: ...
"I don't know." She thought for a moment, "I didn't pay attention to the breeding techniques in "The Unreachable Lover"."
Anyway!
It doesn’t matter whether the goslings have hair or not!
Now their target is the hornet's nest of unknown threats in the woods!
Zhou Qian walked ahead decisively. With Huai Yu's reminder, he soon passed through the bushes and came to the cleared woods.
But he soon became dazed.
"Xiao Yu, you said yesterday that there was a big osmanthus tree here - does that osmanthus grow horizontally or vertically?"
Huaiyu: “???”
She trotted forward from behind Zhou Qian to take a look, and was also stunned!
No wonder the wasps wanted to fight with the first and second cubs yesterday! It's really not their fault!
Anyone who has worked hard and spent all his life's wealth to buy a commercial house, but then an unscrupulous neighbor smashes the load-bearing wall and causes the whole building to collapse, would not be able to remain dignified and calm, right? !
The same is true for wasps!
They also have dignity and backbone!
now!
The huge osmanthus tree fell to the ground completely. The reason why it didn't fall completely was because its huge body was supported by the trees next to it.
The equally huge spherical hornet's nest was now suspended in the air, with its bottom less than three to five centimeters from the ground.
At this distance, the only hole at the bottom for the hornets to enter and exit was completely exposed, and the eldest and second cubs didn't even need to stretch their necks. They could poke the hole to pieces just by moving their mouths.
Now, this dilapidated cave entrance was exposed in front of Zhou Qian and Huai Yu. Even though they had no inexplicable sympathy for the animals and plants in the wilderness, they could not help but remain silent at this moment.
Well, you really can’t blame the wasp this time!
Look at the huge osmanthus tree again. The wounds on its thick trunk are uneven, and each step is extremely smooth, as if the eldest and second cubs had pierced it again and again with their flat beaks.
Neither of them spoke. The quiet woods were filled with the rich fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. But after a night, many of the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers had wilted. Zhou Qian walked over slowly, found a branch and gently poked the quiet hornet's nest, but found no movement at all.
I guess after the door of the house was poked to pieces, the hornets failed to take revenge and died halfway, so they had to move overnight.
Huai Yu felt embarrassed. After thinking about it, he could only reach out and touch the remaining trunk of the osmanthus tree: "How about... I can force another one to grow."
Zhou Qian was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Go ahead."
It won’t take long.
Huaiyu had other plans: "It will take a long time to regrow such a big tree. Brother Zhou Qian, don't just sit there. Bring a basin and pick some osmanthus flowers!"
"It smells so good! It would be great for making porridge or tea if dried."
Zhou Qian sighed helplessly. Before leaving, he looked at the huge spherical hornet's nest under his feet, then looked at Huai Yu: "Do you want this too?"
"...Yes." Huaiyu nodded: "Put it next to the nest of the eldest and second cubs to remind them that it is not a good idea to exhaust the resources!"
Originally, with this hornet's nest, they could have had a few meals by luring the enemy back and forth a few times. But now, they had directly cut off the tree from under the fire, and this luxurious meal disappeared after one meal.
Oh, what a sin! I still lost money!
Fortunately, there is no one else in this rest area now.
While Zhou Qian was humming and stroking the osmanthus flowers on the branches, he thought that if his old friends knew his current state, they would probably laugh to death!
I'm afraid I have to tell this story every time I come to the wilderness.
But after thinking about it——
"Xiao Yu, it's better not to take that hornet's nest with you. Bees have the ability to track their own nests. This beehive is so big, and it's quite laborious to build it. It would be bad if we attract them again."
Huaiyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll leave it in the rest area before I leave, and it will also serve as a reminder to the people behind me."
They should know when they see a large hornet's nest, and they should thoroughly explore it in the rest area before they can feel at ease.
When Zhou Qian reached the second pot of osmanthus in his hand, Huai Yu finally gave birth to a new osmanthus tree as thick as her forearm from the side branches of the trunk of the osmanthus tree. However, because this osmanthus tree, whether before or now, had no thoughts, she could not communicate with it.
I only know that the other party has acquired a new ability to induce childbirth, and the branches are stretching out, and he is very happy.
Even though it is only as thick as a forearm and more than one meter tall, it still has delicate and fragrant light yellow flowers blooming on the branches.
The floral scent in the air became stronger again, and Zhou Qian shook his head: "I feel a little sleepy...Xiao Yu, this floral scent can induce sleep."
Huaiyu was also a little sleepy, but——
"It's okay, Brother Zhou Qian. You're a little sleepy even after picking two pots of osmanthus flowers. This proves that the effect is not very good."
Zhou Qian nodded and plucked the last bunch of flowers from the huge osmanthus tree: "Okay, I've collected them, but I don't have time to dry them for now."
"It's ok."
Huaiyu also took back his hand: "I put them in a gauze bag and put them on the roof of the car. They will be exposed to the wind and sun all the way. It's almost the same."
But before that, Zhou Qian should go to sleep for a while. After all, he was the one who touched these two large pots of osmanthus.
Update 2, good night, next door soon!
