The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 30 The Locusts Are Coming
The next day, Chen Bei came to Guan Hong Yazi's place again. After seeing him, the Duck King happily "quacked" a few times.

Chen Bei took out the small fish he had prepared earlier, threw it to Duck King, and said, "Eat it."

Duck King swallowed the little fish in one gulp, flapped his wings happily, and then stood beside Chen Bei just like yesterday.

The old deer smiled and said: "It seems that the king duck has been tamed by the leader, congratulations leader."

Chen Bei said: "Now let's see if the Duck King can lead the whole duck flock. Release those red ducks."

"Yes."

The old deer opened the gate of the duck pen, and the red ducks couldn't wait to swarm out, screaming loudly.

"Gah!"

The Duck King let out a cry, and raised his head proudly, looking forward to the heroes.

Those red ducks closed their mouths one after another and calmed down. Obviously, they were still willing to listen to the duck king.

Chen Bei nodded in satisfaction, and said: "You performed well, since that's the case, I won't tie the rope today."

Chen Bei squatted down and untied the rope around Duck King's neck himself.

The Duck King yelled happily again. Obviously, no one wants to be tied around the neck, not even a duck.

"Let's go to the vegetable field."

Chen Bei walked in front, Duck King followed behind him step by step, while the other red ducks lined up in three rows, following behind Duck King neatly, not at all chaotic.

Beside the old deer, a young man from the breeding team said enviously: "The leader is so powerful, even these red ducks listen to him. We feed these red ducks every day, and sometimes they get pecked."

Another boy said: "Of course the leader is powerful, otherwise how can I be the leader."

Everyone nodded one after another. After contacting for such a long time, everyone respected and convinced the leader.

Chen Bei led the ducks all the way through the tribe, attracting crowds to watch, and everyone was amazed at the performance of the red ducks.

Ya even hugged a colorful pheasant and followed Chen Bei excitedly, wanting to see for himself how these ducks eat insects.

Colorful pheasants have been domesticated for a long time, and they are no longer afraid of people. The old deer gave each colorful pheasant to a young man, and Ya also got a colorful pheasant. He took this colorful pheasant with him every day. Chickens go to the vegetable field to eat bugs.

"Boss, is the red duck really better at eating bugs than the colorful pheasant?"

Chen Bei looked back at Ya, and said, "Of course, the red duck eats more than the colorful pheasant."

"Then can I raise a red duck in the future?"

"Of course, as long as you can take care of it."

"Great, thank you leader."

Ya was already imagining how he would hold a colorful pheasant and a red duck in the tribe with his head held high.

Young people compare themselves with others. Other youngsters can only raise one colorful pheasant. If he can raise one more red duck, or even more, it means that he is better than other tribal boys.

Of course, Chen Bei wouldn't care about the young man's small thoughts, as long as it was good for the tribe, he would support it.

Chen Bei soon came to the vegetable field again, and he said to the Duck King, "Right, take your duck soldiers and go eat up all the bugs in the field."

The duck king seemed to understand. He held his head up high and barked a few times, found a worm in the vegetable leaf, ate it in front of all the ducks, and barked a few more times.

Chen Bei guessed that the meaning of Duck King was to set an example for other ducks, so that they would do the same as themselves.

Sure enough, after watching Duck King's demonstration, other ducks got into the vegetable field one after another, and looked for bugs to eat on the vegetable leaves.

A large group of ducks can eat a lot of bugs in a blink of an eye, and the efficiency is many times higher than that of colorful pheasants that peck east and west.

Yan ran over, looking at the excellent appearance of these red ducks, he finally showed a relaxed look on his face.

"Boss, these red ducks are really powerful. If you eat them like this, within a few days, the number of bugs in the ground will be greatly reduced."

Chen Beidao: "In the future, we can consider arranging both chicken coops and duck coops next to the vegetable fields. Not only can we eat insects, but we can also throw unwanted vegetable leaves to them. In addition, the manure they pull can also be used as fertilizer."

"fertilizer?"

Yan felt a little confused, because the tribal people have no experience in fertilizing vegetables. They only know slash-and-burn farming, and they can weed and pest control, which is very good.

Chen Beidao: "Just like plant ash, plant ash is also a fertilizer. Animal manure is better than plant ash. After adding it, it can make vegetables grow faster and bigger."

"The leader is saying that as long as it is animal dung, can it be used as fertilizer? The dung of the triangle green sheep can also be used?"

"Yes, not only animal manure, but many things can be used as fertilizer. For example, the grass on the mountain can be used as fertilizer after it rots, and the bones after we eat meat can also be used as fertilizer after being burned to ashes."

"You can be bold and try several kinds to see which one is the best for the growth of vegetables."

"These fertilizers can also be mixed together and piled up for a period of time to allow it to rot. The rotted fertilizer will be better for the young seedlings."

Chenbei's words seemed to open the door to a new world for Yan. It turns out that vegetables need to be fertilized. It turns out that the fertilizer is by his side.

"Leader, I understand, I will definitely try hard."

Chen Bei nodded and said, "Actually, I'm not very good at planting. I only know a general idea. For specific experience, you need to keep trying and exploring to find the best method."

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes are not terrible. If you make many mistakes, you will naturally find the right path."

"Thank you for the leader's teaching."

Yan carefully remembered Chen Bei's words in his heart, and this honest and honest man's admiration for Chen Bei deepened a lot.

In the vegetable field, the red ducks eat very happily. There are a lot of insects. They rarely eat the vegetable leaves. After all, the insects are much more delicious than the vegetable leaves.

Not only that, but their digestion is very fast. After they are full, they will be digested quickly, take a dip, and continue to eat.

Time passed bit by bit, and the ducks ate up all the worms in a large vegetable field.

After they are full, they hide under the tall vegetable leaves to enjoy the shade, sleep, and when they wake up and rest well, they continue to eat.

When I returned to the duck house in the evening, the worms in the vegetable field had already been eaten.

In the next few days, Chen Bei didn't take the ducks to eat worms himself, but was led by Duck King. After going there twice, they were familiar with the road, even if they didn't need someone to take them, they would go to eat worms on time.

The bugs in the vegetable field were eaten less and less, and the green vegetables also grew new leaves, and everything seemed to be thriving.

After the number of insects decreased, the red ducks also came less. Under the leadership of the duck king, they wandered around the tribe, especially the creeks and ponds, which became their paradise.

However, a few days later, something new happened!

In the insect tribe, the centipede controls the mother locust, looking for food everywhere, and almost no grass grows wherever it passes.

The reproductive ability of the locust mother queen is terrible, especially after the food is sufficient, the locust swarm becomes larger and larger, flying in the sky, densely packed, overwhelming the sky.

The larger the swarm, the more food they need, so they flew farther and farther, until one day, they discovered the vegetable field of the Mang tribe.

On this day, the planting team was working in the vegetable field, and Yan was trying to use weeds as fertilizer. He fished out a lot of weeds from the stream and covered the roots of the vegetables to see if the weeds could make the vegetables grow better.

A member of the planting team heard some "buzzing" sounds. He looked up, pointed at the sky in horror, and said, "Look, what is that?"

Yan looked up and saw densely packed locusts flying towards the vegetable field in the sky, just like a cloud of black clouds.

Locusts have also appeared in the vegetable fields before, but the number is far less terrifying.

"No, it's bugs, they want to come down to eat vegetables!"

Yan yelled, and was so frightened that cold sweat broke out.

The centipede, who is far away in the Zong tribe, can vaguely see the scene on the ground through the connection with the Locust Queen.

He sneered: "It looks like a small tribe, but it has so many wild vegetables and female insects, eat them up!"

A dark light flashed in the locust's eyes, and then led the army of locusts to rush towards the vegetable field. After landing on the vegetable leaves, they began to gnaw the vegetable leaves frantically.

"Ah! Damn bug!"

Seeing that the vegetable field that had finally regained some vitality suffered another disaster, Yan was so angry that his lungs would explode. This honest man grabbed a bug, put it in his mouth, and bit it to pieces.

Members of other planting teams were also very anxious and started to catch these locusts one after another.

But there were too many locusts to catch them, and they could only watch helplessly as the vegetable leaves disappeared bit by bit.

Fortunately, Yan hasn't lost his mind yet, he knows he can't handle the situation anymore.

"Quickly, invite the leader!"

Yan roared, and a plantation team member hurriedly went to invite Chen Bei as if he had just woken up from a dream.
