    "No, there are more than this. You kid are not lying to me, are you?" Professor Zhao was a little confused. There were tens of thousands of dragonflies in the scene in front of him, and he thought it was a spectacle.  According to Liu Junhao's words, there are estimated to be between seventy and eighty to one hundred thousand dragonflies, which is unlikely even if you think about it.

    "Haha, old man, you are the god of a small temple, and you have never seen a large incense offering. Let me tell you, you must not have noticed before, as long as there are a few continuous rains in the summer. These dragonflies are just like rushing to attend a party, they are everywhere. Otherwise  If you believe it, I will give you the evidence later." After Liu Junhao said that, he turned and walked towards the house. He turned a blind eye to this gathering of dragonflies. This kind of scene has become much rarer in recent years.  A few years ago, there were so many dragonflies chirping that the sky was covered in darkness, but this phenomenon usually caused other birds to rush for food.

    Within two minutes, Liu Junhao took out a thick book from the room and handed it to Professor Zhao.

    "Xiangzhi, is there any record in it?" Mr. Zhao asked doubtfully.  This rural chronicle was sent by Zhao Guangming. He left in a hurry that day and forgot to take it back.

    ¡°Well, you can see for yourself, that scene is truly spectacular. It¡¯s unimaginable without personal experience.¡± Liu Junhao explained.

    Professor Zhao followed his instructions and turned directly to the page of anecdotes. The records above were very clear.  In mid-July 1958, there were continuous heavy rains in Daqingshan, and then the weather cleared up.  In the wheat fields, vegetable gardens and thorn trees at Sankeshugan Pond, there are unprecedented large swarms of dragonflies, numbering more than 100,000.  For several days in a row, dragonflies flew from all directions every evening, covering the sky and the sun.  Dragonflies attract countless birds to prey on them. There are about 50 birds standing on each tree on branches and wheat straw piles within a one kilometer radius, and they are densely packed.  According to reports from several elderly people at the time, this situation should be a precursor to rising floods.  Within half a month, the Baitiao River swelled and the water flow was fierce, causing great property losses to villagers in several nearby villages.

    "Is it true? Dragonflies can predict disasters. Isn't this the same as that earthquake precursor?" They were talking loudly just now, and two tourists came over to check.

    "What do you think, Professor Zhao?" Liu Junhao gave up.

    "This is the first time I've heard of it I'm not sure," Mr. Zhao replied hesitantly.  Of course, things recorded in rural chronicles cannot be faked, which is why Huo Jun decided to increase the price immediately after reading the description of Golden Jade Bee Queen Pupa last time.  Besides, the scene in front of me was very similar to the records in the village chronicles. Both dragonflies suddenly increased in number after heavy rain.  After a while, the surrounding trees became lively, and many birds that preyed on insects began to gather here.

    "If the water rises, will your Liujiagou dam be able to stop it? It seems it has never been repaired, right?" One of the tourists completely believed the description in the township chronicle and was already thinking about how to retreat.  After all, the earthquake had just passed, and people's nerves were still tense. If there was any slight disturbance, they would immediately be frightened.

    "Don't worry, if the water really rises, everyone can move to the mountains. Besides, didn't I just say that I have encountered this kind of dragonflies gathering more than a dozen times. Is it possible that the water will rise every time? Let's use our brains.  , in fact, the reason is very simple, it is the biological food chain." Liu Junhao quickly brought the topic back. He was really afraid that people would spread rumors and spread rumors about rising water.

    "Food chain? Dragonflies eat mosquitoesLong-term rainy weather causes mosquitoes and flies to breed, and then there are more dragonflies, and the dragonflies attract birds to prey on them, right?" After all, it was Professor Zhao. He was just indulging in the spectacle of dragonflies gathering before.  , now after a little thought, the whole thing has been connected in series.

    "Enemies," Liu Junhao snapped his fingers and then explained, "mosquitoes and flies like to lay eggs in places rich in humus. The firewood beside the wheat field will naturally become moldy and deteriorate after being exposed to heavy rain for several days, providing mosquitoes and flies with a lot of resources.  A good place to lay eggs. And in this forest, the wormwood inside is very thick, and mosquitoes like to hide in it."

    "That's it." The tourist suddenly realized.  Some things feel mysterious before you know the reason, but once you understand the reason, they suddenly feel normal.  Take the scene in front of you as an example. The heavy rain that lasted for nearly a week caused a sudden increase in mosquitoes. Such a good feeding place naturally attracted dragonflies, and then the birds came to prey on the dragonflies.  Links within links form a simple food chain.

    As if to verify Liu Junhao¡¯s words, when it was getting dark, the number of mosquitoes around suddenly increased.  Mosquitoes were all flying to the ears and buzzing like small bombers.  Liu Junhao was originally sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air, but soon he received several big bites on his legs, so he had no choice but to pour some toilet water on his body.  But even so, it doesn't stop those mosquitoes.

    "Why are there so many mosquitoes today? Husband, you must buy a few boxes of mosquito repellent incense when you go out tomorrow." Zhang Qian was sitting in the house playing for a while, but she couldn't hold on anymore and hurriedly ran to the house with a cattail leaf fan.Crying in pain.

    The mosquitoes were so hateful that they made several big bumps on his wife¡¯s fair skin. Liu Junhao felt very distressed and helped her apply a lot of toilet water.  Not to mention the stings from humans, the animals in the yard also couldn't stand it. The red rabbit couldn't stop spinning in the stable, and the tabby cat didn't care about the cold water at night and huddled in the pool, leaving only its head exposed to breathe.

    The monkey stung me and I had no choice but to imitate my master and smear toilet water on my body.  The toilet water smelled fragrant, and Wukong seemed to enjoy the smell.  In less than five minutes, almost half of a large bottle of toilet water was wasted by this guy.

    Liu Junhao saw that the situation was not good and quickly snatched it from its hands.

    "Mosquito-repellent incense is useless. It can only work if the doors and windows are closed. But in that case, the mosquitoes won't kill you, and the person will faint first." Professor Zhao's deeply touched voice came from outside the door. His home is no better than Liu Junhao's.  There are so many mosquitoes in the house that no one can get in.  It was hot in the evening, and the couple had just shared half of a watermelon. They were not hungry now, so they just came over to chat and enjoy the coolness.

    ¡°We don¡¯t have to worry about the savior coming overhead.¡± When Liu Junhao saw the bats flying in the sky, he felt happy.  Look at that direction, it should be flying out of the backyard.  One, two, and soon hundreds.

    What goes around comes around. A few years ago, Zhang Qian found a bat nest in the backyard. At that time, Liu Junhao wanted to drive these guys away, but then he thought about human friends and let them stay. Now is the time  It¡¯s time for the bat to repay the favor.

    "It's a bat, it's the nemesis of mosquitoes." Professor Zhao also had a smile on his face. If there are bats, it is estimated that all the mosquitoes in the lower courtyard will be caught.  He had just seen the information not long ago. A 20-gram insectivorous bat can eat 1kg of insects in a year, most of which are mosquitoes. It can eat 3,000 to 10,000 in a night, which is of great use to humans.  benefit.

    The four of them stared expectantly, hoping that the bat would catch all the mosquitoes later.  But half an hour later, the number of mosquitoes in the yard did not seem to be decreasing, but instead increased.  Now Wukong couldn't bear it anymore and kept jumping up and down on the ground.

    "Hubby, it seems like the bat doesn't work?" Zhang Qian asked in confusion. In this short time, she was stung three more times on her arm.

    "Indeed" Liu Junhao was also confused.

    "I understand," Professor Zhao shouted, slapping his thigh: "Bat generally eat mosquitoes at high altitudes. Mosquitoes like this fly close to the ground, so bats can't eat them." It's not that bats can't fly close to the ground;  Their flying advantage is at high altitudes, so they spend most of their time hunting at high altitudes, and will only lower their flying altitude when food is scarce.  Today was obviously an exception. There was no shortage of food in the sky.

    "Yes, let's catch it with pheasants." The situation was pressing, and the mosquito bites were severe. Liu Junhao's brain was spinning rapidly, and he immediately came up with another move.  Stone chickens are also good at catching mosquitoes. There are nearly 10,000 of them in the backyard, and they have been catching and eating them these days.  Liu Junhao implements the policy of replenishing food as soon as it is eaten, and constantly catches the pheasants in the stone locks and raises them in the backyard, so the number inside does not decrease.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTLINE

    "Now go to the backyard to catch them, and I'll go too." Zhang Qian got interested. Instead of sitting in the yard and getting stung, she might as well go catch the pheasants.

    Professor Zhao and his wife also wanted to go to the backyard to help, so the four of them started busy with handheld lamps and net bags.

    There was a cool breeze in the backyard, frogs were croaking, and there were not a single mosquito, which made the suffering people suddenly feel comfortable.

    Stone chickens are especially easy to catch at night. As long as you hear the sound and shine a portable light on them, they will immediately stand still by the ditch, ready to be caught.  Liu Junhao originally wanted his wife to help illuminate the lantern and catch it himself, but he didn't know that Zhang Qian wanted to do it herself.

    My wife's skills are really not very good. She saw the pheasant squatting there, but she either blocked the light with her body when she made a move, or ran away after grabbing the pheasant. In short, she could only catch it if she encountered it.  Five is pretty good.  Fortunately, there were a lot of chickens in the backyard, and even as a novice, she caught nearly twenty of them in ten minutes.

    "Woof, woof" was catching it hard, when Xiaopi in the front yard suddenly started barking, and then the black panther also barked wildly.

    "There is something wrong." As soon as they heard their cry, they were very anxious. Several people did not bother to continue catching pheasants and hurriedly walked out of the backyard with handheld lights.

    There was nothing in the courtyard except Xiaopi and his wife, who were shouting around under the peach tree.  Seeing his master coming out, Xiaopi barked twice and stopped immediately.

    "Is it possible that the grasshopper is here again?" Liu Junhao walked around the peach tree, but found nothing in the end.  However, the otter heard the footsteps, screamed happily and rushed out of the cave, running to his side and spinning around.
