The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 27
In the first month of summer, the weather gradually gets hotter, and the singing of birds and insects in the mountains and forests also increases.

One day, Chen Bei was woken up while taking a nap.

"Boss, boss, go and have a look, there are more and more bugs in the vegetable field, and the vegetables are almost eaten up."

Yan anxiously ran to Chenbei's wooden house. This simple and honest man had nothing to do with the bugs in the vegetable field, so he had no choice but to come to Chenbei.

"insect?"

Chen Bei opened his eyes, but his mind was still not clear enough. He walked to the stone jar filled with water, scooped up a scoop of cold water with a wooden ladle, washed his face, and he became sober again.

"Yeah, the weather is getting hotter, and there are more and more bugs in the vegetable field. At the beginning, the children in the breeding team were very happy, and they went to the vegetable field to catch bugs and feed the colorful pheasants every day, but now, there are many insects. I can’t finish it, I almost ate up the food.”

During this period of time, Yan was tortured by insects and was so anxious that he would dream of insects eating vegetables in his dreams.

"Take me to see."

"it is good!"

Chen Bei followed Yan to the vegetable field in a hurry, and he didn't respond to the clansmen who greeted him along the way.

These vegetables are the food of the tribe this winter. If they are eaten up by insects, the previous efforts will be in vain.

In the vegetable field, the members of the planting team are trying their best to catch the bugs. Each person has a leather bag, catches the bugs with bare hands on the vegetable leaves, and then throws them into the leather bag.

Chen Bei walked over to take a look, and saw that the good vegetable leaves were gnawed so that one part was missing in the east and one in the west, which was very ugly.

These wild vegetables are similar to cabbage and green vegetables. They all eat leaves. The leaves are gnawed off, leaving only the bare veins of the leaves, which looks very miserable.

"It's careless. Although the ground was turned over last winter, many of the bugs in the ground were frozen to death, but there are mountains and forests near the tribe, and there are countless bugs."

"After they found this vegetable field, it was like a mouse falling into a rice bowl, eating whatever it wanted."

Chen Bei patted himself on the head dejectedly, it was his fault that he didn't prepare measures to prevent insects in advance.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

Yan Yan looked at Chen Bei eagerly, and was counting on Chen Bei to come up with an idea.

In the eyes of the Mang tribe, Chenbei has always had a lot of ways, and he can come up with all kinds of weird ideas.

Therefore, Yan put all his hopes on Chen Bei.

Chen Bei looked at Yan, hesitant to speak, but he really wanted to say, don't look at me like this, I'm not omnipotent.

But this sentence can't be said anyway.

Chen Bei took a deep breath, let himself calm down, and quickly thought about how to deal with these nasty bugs.

It would be great if there were pesticides. Pesticides are the killer of bugs.

It's a pity that Chen Bei can only think about it, he doesn't know how to develop pesticides.

Suddenly, Chen Bei thought of what Yan said just now.

"You just said that the children of the planting team caught bugs and fed them to colorful pheasants?"

Yan nodded and said, "That's right, they come to catch them every day, otherwise, there will be more bugs."

Chen Bei thought for a while and said, "You go to Lao Lu and ask him to bring all the colorful pheasants to the vegetable field."

"Yes, chief."

Yan didn't even ask why, and went straight to Lao Lu, the captain of the planting team.

Not long after, the old deer took the children of the planting team and carried sixteen colorful pheasants over.

The old deer walked up to Chen Bei and said respectfully, "Boss, I brought all the colorful pheasants you asked for."

The old deer looks older, but in good spirits.

Since he became the captain of the breeding team, he has a goal to strive for in his life, and his energy is different from before.

These colorful pheasants were originally very thin, but now they are all fattened up. If they continue to be raised, it is estimated that it will be difficult to fly.

Chen Bei pointed to the vegetable tunnel and said, "Put the colorful pheasant directly in to eat bugs, you follow behind the chicken and watch."

"Yes, chief."

A rope was still tied to the legs of the sixteen colorful pheasants, and each member of the breeding team led a rope and followed the colorful pheasants into the vegetable field.

These colorful pheasants are indeed much better at dealing with insects than humans. Their eyes can accurately see the insects hidden on the vegetable leaves, and they can accurately eat the insects in one bite.

However, soon, Chenbei found that a colorful pheasant pecked at the vegetable leaves after eating the worms, and ate some of the vegetable leaves.

"I almost forgot that these colorful pheasants not only eat bugs, but also vegetables."

Chen Bei's complexion was a little dark, he was only thinking about letting chickens eat worms, but he didn't expect to eat vegetables.

However, after all, bugs are more attractive. The colorful pheasant eats bugs most of the time, and the vegetable leaves are only occasionally pecked, which is acceptable.

Chen Bei looked at it for a while, and then said to the old deer: "In the future, you will send a few people to watch these colorful pheasants and let them eat the bugs on the vegetables. If you see them eating vegetables, stop them."

"Yes, leader." The old deer immediately agreed.

Chen Bei said to Yan again: "First work hard for everyone to catch bugs, and the colorful pheasant can eat a lot every day, try to keep these vegetables, I will think of a way when I go back."

"Boss, then you have to find a way quickly." Yan couldn't help but said.

"Don't worry, I won't just sit and watch the vegetables being eaten up by bugs."

Chen Bei waved to everyone, then turned and left the vegetable field, he had to find a way.

Chen Bei first found the elder, because the elder is old and knowledgeable, so he might have a solution.

"Leader, to tell you the truth, we have no experience in planting before, so I don't know how to deal with these bugs."

The elder felt guilty for not being able to help Chen Bei, but at the same time he really had no experience in this area.

Later, Chen Bei found Qingzhu again, wanting to see if there was any way to deal with bugs in the inheritance she had obtained.

Qingzhu thought carefully for a moment, and said: "Actually, the power of the totem can expel these insects. The power of the totem god will make all weak creatures feel fear. But it can only be expelled temporarily, and these insects will definitely come back later."

"In addition, the insect king in the insect tribe can also expel these insects, but it is difficult for us to find a insect king, let alone tame it like the insect tribe."

Chen Bei frowned slightly. These two methods are not feasible. In this way, Wu's inheritance can't deal with these annoying bugs.

Qingzhu said again: "Boss, everything has natural enemies, if we can find the natural enemies of bugs, we can eliminate them."

What are the natural enemies of insects?
bird?frog?
Chen Bei felt that the colorful pheasant was already considered the natural enemy of bugs, but the number of tamed colorful pheasants was relatively small and could not solve too many bugs.

As for frogs, most frogs live in places with water, and it is not easy for them to go to the ground to eat insects.

Therefore, what kind of natural enemy can punish these damned insects, Chen Bei can't even think about it.

"Leader, why don't I do a divination."

In desperation, Qingzhu thought of divination again, but the divination would definitely not directly tell her how to deal with the bugs, but would tell whether the matter would develop in a good or bad direction.

"Okay, sorry for the trouble."

In desperation, Chen Bei could only look at the results of divination.

Qingzhu took out a piece of bone used for divination, and while reciting the divination spell devoutly, he put the bone piece on the fire to roast.

Just like before, a mysterious force blessed the flames, and the flames churned, enveloping the bone fragments, and then burning them out into cracks.

After Qingzhu finished chanting the incantation, the flame returned to calm, and she held the cracked bone fragment in her hand to watch carefully.

After a long time, Qingzhu showed a smile on his face, and said: "Chief, don't worry too much. The results of divination show that this matter will turn around soon."

"Thank you Wu."

Chen Bei still trusts Qingzhu's divination ability, since she said there is a turning point, she should be right.

However, how to solve this problem is still unclear.

Chen Bei could only think of a way while waiting for the turning point shown by the divination results.
