Text Chapter 422: A good time to invest in a hornet¡¯s nest

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Suna Na planned to stay in Liujiagou for a while this time, so Zhang Qian naturally welcomed her.  It was just right for her to help me teach for a few days.  Although there are four more teachers in Liujiagou, dozens of students have been added, and the number of teachers is still somewhat tight.

    Liu Junhao originally planned to go to the post office in the morning to deliver the chrysanthemum tea ordered by netizens.  Before he could leave, Liu Junqi came to his door and asked him to throw crucian carp bones into a hornet's nest.

    This wasp nest was discovered when Chun Shang was looking for crested ibises. Liu Junqi had already planned to sell it, but there were too many wasps on it at that time, so he did not dare to take action.

    With the weather being so cold now, the wasps should fly away early, which is a good time to nest in the hornet's nest.

    Liu Junhao had no intention of going up the mountain at first. A hornet's nest cost only a thousand yuan, and he couldn't see this small amount of money.  Let Liu Junqi make a small fortune on his own Who would have thought that he had no intention of keeping it to himself, and insisted on dragging him and Zhao Guangming together, saying that the three of them discovered it together.

    But he couldn't resist Liu Junqi's persuasion, so he had to go back to the house and call Zhao Guangming.

    This guy was very interested when he heard that he was going to throw a hornet's nest into the mountain. He rode his motorcycle to Liujiagou in just ten minutes.

    While they were preparing the equipment, Liu Junhao went to Professor Zhao¡¯s house to say hello and asked him to pay attention to the little leopard cub in the courtyard for a while, so as not to get lost.

    As soon as he went out, Wukong and Squirrel followed him.  Xiaopi originally wanted to follow, but was appointed by his master to stay at home and watch over him.  Mainly because he was guarding against the female clouded leopard, this guy's injuries were mostly healed, and now he was clearly "intentionally plotting evil" against the chickens and ducks in the yard.  If no one is guarding the courtyard, the chickens and ducks may be killed in half a day.

    The hornet's nest discovered by several people was less than one meter long, and the widest part was only as big as a washbasin.  But when they came to the wolfberry tree again, they all opened their mouths.

    In less than half a year, the size of the hornet's nest doubled.  It looks even more terrifying.  The layers of honeycombs are densely connected, like an earth-yellow python coiled on the tree trunk.

    This thing looks very conspicuous, but it is so inaccessible that no one picked it off before them. It is really a miracle.

    "Xiao Hao, this hornet's nest is worth at least two thousand yuan. If you really don't want it, Xiao Zhao and I will split it equally" Liu Junqi sighed in admiration. Before the hornet's nest was picked, he was already calculating how much it could be sold for.

    "I don't want it if I don't want it. I'm going up the mountain to play." Liu Junhao shook his head.

    There is no danger in picking the wasp nest this time. The wasps in the nest should have flown away early. All you need to do is go up the tree and cut off the wasp nest with a saw blade.

    "I'll go up" Zhao Guangming wanted to show off.  He took off his shoes and climbed up the tree.

    "Be careful," Liu Junqi warned from below.

    "Don't worry, my friend also studied tree climbing when he was young. Climbing this hairy wolfberry tree is just like playing." Zhao Guangming climbed halfway up the tree, waved and gestured towards them.

    But what Liu Junqi said next made him slip and almost fall from the tree. He said, "I'm not worried about people, I'm worried about the hornet's nest. Don't break it. It's worth a thousand dollars."

    Actually, this guy is pretty good at climbing trees. He should have practiced it since childhood.

    Liu Junhao wanted to praise him, but before he could say anything, Zhao Guangming suddenly screamed.  She shivered after saying "Mom" and climbed directly under the tree without saying a word.

    He descended the tree very quickly, like a big civet cat, landing on the ground in the blink of an eye.

    "What's wrong? There are still wasps in the nest?" Liu Junqi asked in surprise.  The wasp's nest was so big that he was startled the first time he climbed up in it. But by this time, there were no wasps around.

    "Look at my hands" Zhao Guangming raised his hands with a sad face.  I saw a patch of redness and swelling on the back of my hand. In the blink of an eye, it was swollen to the point of being no different from a steamed bun.

    "Damn, is there really a wasp?" Liu Junhao felt incredible: Today's highest temperature is only seven or eight degrees, how could there be wasps? Could it be that there are also cold-resistant varieties of wasps?

    "Get out the stinger quickly." As a native of rural areas, Zhao Guangming naturally knows how powerful this thing is.  Wasps are quite venomous, especially mountain wasps.  After being stung by them, you should pull out the stinger immediately and clean the toxin inside as soon as possible.  Otherwise, when the toxicity takes full effect, it will definitely make people jump around in pain.

    Seeing Zhao Guangming grinning there, Liu Junhao hurriedly stepped forward to squeeze out the stinger.

    "I x, I hunted geese all day long and the geese pecked my eyes out." Although the stinger was pulled out, they did not consider the possibility of accidents when they came, so they did not bring Fengyoujing.  At this moment, we can only let this guy endure it and think of a solution after going down the mountain.

    "What should we do?" When Zhao Guangming stopped, Liu Junqi looked at the huge beehive and asked.

    "Nothing to eat""It's a pity to abandon it." If such a large hornet's nest is destroyed, it is worth at least two thousand yuan. However, if it is stung by a swarm of bees, it will not be worth the loss. Spending thousands of yuan may not be able to cure it.

    "Of course I have to find a way to take it off, otherwise I will be beaten in vain." As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Guangming grinned in pain again.

    "You still want to pick it off, do you want to kill me?" Liu Junhao looked at the big guy above him with some embarrassment.

    "Don't worry, there are no wasps in the nest," Zhao Guangming explained, "I was careless just now and got stung by a wasp. If there were wasps in the nest, do you think I could come down intact?"

    ¡°That¡¯s rightit was only then that the two of them realized that something was wrong.  Mountain wasps usually swarm when they attack people. Just now they didn't notice the wasps dancing in a swarm.

    "There is a big hole in the trunk of this hairy wolfberry tree. It was probably dug out by a woodpecker. The wasps were all hiding in the tree hole. I was stung just now when I accidentally ran into the tree hole. As long as you are careful when you go up, you should be fine."  It's okay." Zhao Guangming then told the reason for being stung.

    "So that's it, you didn't tell me earlier." Liu Junqi finally felt relieved after hearing that there were no wasps in the hornet's nest.

    Every autumn when the temperature drops to about ten degrees, wasps begin to leave their nests and look for sunny and sheltered places such as wall cracks, firewood piles, tree holes, etc. to gather in groups to survive the winter.  At this time, their mobility is very poor, and they generally won't fly out of tree holes and sting people. As long as you don't disturb them when you go up the tree to pick the hornet's nest, there should be no problem.

    "Xiao Hao, why don't you go up and saw off the branches?" Liu Junqi was still a little scared even though he knew there was no danger.

    "No," Liu Junhao refused flatly, "You can make up your own mind. I just said, I don't want the honeycomb."

    "I can't bear to let my child fall into the trap without looking for a wolf." Liu Junqi thought about it but still couldn't let go of the thousands of dollars that were just around the corner, and finally gritted his teeth and took off his coat.

    "What do you want to do?" Zhao Guangming asked puzzledly.

    "Wait for me to go up and put my coat on the tree hole so that the wasps can't fly out." Liu Junqi replied, inserted the saw blade into his waist, and carried the rope up the tree.

    Climbing to the waist of the tree, he wrapped his coat around the trunk, and then tied the rope to the branch where the hornet's nest was.  This method is not bad, at least no wasps will fly out after he goes up.

    The hairy wolfberry tree is loose and requires little effort to saw. In less than five minutes, Liu Junqi saw off the branches.

    Under the influence of the rope, the hornet's nest was carefully sent down.  This thing is worth thousands of dollars, so there is no room for him to be careless.

    It was not intuitive to see when he was on the wolfberry tree. When the hornet's nest was placed on the ground, Liu Junhao was very surprised.  There must be at least tens of thousands of wasps in such a large hive.  If a group stings someone, the consequences are unimaginable.

    After picking off the honeycomb, several people rested for a while before preparing to go down the mountain.

    Liu Junhao turned around to look for Wukong and Doudou, only to find that Wukong and Doudou had already disappeared without a trace. He had no choice but to shout at the top of his lungs.

    Wukong didn¡¯t run far. Hearing his master¡¯s call, he rushed back immediately.  When this guy came back, he was carrying a plastic bag filled with red persimmons that he picked from somewhere.

    Liu Junhao casually peeled one open. The pulp was crystal clear and filled with frost.  Although it is not comparable to the persimmons in my own garden, it tastes pretty good.

    "Wukong, give me one too," Zhao Guangming reached out to want one, but the monkey squeaked and refused.

    "Damn, I paid for the head office, right?" Zhao Guangming said, taking a 10-cent banknote from his wallet and handing it over.

    "Zhizhi" the monkey immediately took it and sent a whole bag of mountain persimmons over.

    "Your Wukong is so easy to deceive." Zhao Guangming made a small hole in a persimmon, and then inhaled suddenly. The rich fragrance of the persimmon was refreshing.

    "You're so embarrassed, you can even fool a monkey," Liu Junhao curled his lips.  My own Wukong is indeed too stupid to be happy selling so many persimmons for just a dime.

    After shouting a few times, there was no sign of Diandian. Just when he was about to look for it, this guy finally appeared, holding a golden thing in his hand.

    "What is this?" Liu Junhao stretched out his hand to snatch it.  Who knew that the little guy was very disrespectful.  He screamed a few times and turned around, holding the strange thing in his little paws like a treasure.

    But it ignored the monkey next to it. Wukong approached and grabbed it suddenly, and delivered it to its owner in a flattering manner.

    "Chichichichichichi" The squirrel immediately became angry, opened its mouth and bit the monkey's paw.

    Wukong had no choice but to jump onto the big tree, but Diandian refused to give up and chased after him screaming.  In fact, squirrels are no match for monkeys, they just want to tease them.

    "Brother Junqi, look at what this is?" Liu Junhao ignored the two little guys playing and turned around.?Hand the yellow thing in your hand, which looks a bit like egg skin and a bit like white fungus, to Liu Junqi for viewing.

    Liu Junqi took it in his hand and weighed it a few times, then tore off a piece and chewed it in his mouth, "Well, it's a bit like fungus, and it also smells like chrysanthemum I've never seen it before."

    "It must be fungi." Zhao Guangming also moved over and pulled a small piece.

    The three of them watched for a few minutes, but they couldn't figure out why.  But since squirrels pick and eat it, it should be non-toxic.  I've never heard of anyone seeing this thing before, maybe it's something rare.

    Liu Junhao plans to get some back and show them to Professor Zhao. He is well-informed and may recognize them.

    When he handed the thing into the squirrel's paw, the little guy immediately stuffed it into his mouth.  Let him lead the way, but Diandian barked a few times, had no intention of turning back, and was not cooperative at all.
