Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 125 Playing tricks, self-defeating (1)
Qin Zhong looked at the pensive Zhang Xiaocao and asked anxiously.

This morning he went for a stroll in the cotton field as usual, but found that some cotton plants in the [-] acres of dry land were sluggish, and it did not appear to be short of water, so he looked carefully, only to find that there were wormholes on the ground. When he dug it open, he saw that kind of insect called cutworm. It was this thing that gnawed the cotton roots. If this continued, the cotton would feed the insects.

Zhang Xiaocao thought about it, and decided to go to the field to have a look. If there was only this one kind of pest, it would be easier to solve it, but if there were several common pests occurring together, it would be difficult.

After going to [-] acres of dry land, sure enough, the leaves of many cotton plants were wilted. At some point, many wormholes and black insect droppings appeared on the ground. She dug it up and looked carefully, and found that it was really a cutworm.

Common cutworms are white, fleshy as if they have no bones, move very slowly, but have sharp teeth, and eat anything that grows underground, and the roots of cotton plants are also their food One, it eats the root, how can the cotton plant survive?

It seems that the insect eggs were not frozen to death in winter. This land is cultivated land, so it must be the insect eggs left over from the past. Now the newly opened land will not have such a problem.

Think carefully about the method of controlling cutworms. Of course, the most effective method is to use pesticides. There are no such methods here, so I can only think of other methods!
Seeing that she didn't come up with a solution, Qin Zhong suggested, "Why don't you invite someone to catch the bugs?"

Zhang Xiaocao glared at him. If the worm was on the surface, you could try it, but catching it underground would require a lot of work. It would take less than ten days and a half a month to catch this [-] mu of land. And it can't be caught cleanly.

Qin Zhong touched his nose and felt that his idea was too bad.

Thinking back to the way the folks in the previous life dealt with cutworms in my mind, I suddenly remembered the tung leaf booby trap!
So he said to Qin Zhong: "The larvae of cutworms have a tendency to the leaves of Paulownia trees. Just choose older leaves of Paulownia trees, soak them in clean water, put them in the field in the evening, and open the leaves the next day to catch the larvae. Go back and find a few." Personal help, wages count!"

As for the adults, Zhang Xiaocao thought for a while and said, "Go to the town and buy some trichlorfon, and then ask Liang Yi and Tong Xiao to cut fresh weeds, I will be useful!"

Trichlorfon in this era is not the modern Trichlorfon, but developed by people here to eliminate termites, cockroaches and other pests. She is not sure if she can kill cutworms, but she has to try!

Mix trichlorfon with chopped weeds and sprinkle them on the ground to lure cutchers and see if they can be poisoned to death!In addition, weeds can be evenly spread on the ground, cutworms also like to hide under the weeds, so that many cutworms can be wiped out when you get up early the next morning.

Qin Zhong listened to his orders and left in a hurry. Zhang Xiaocao squatted in the ground, looking at those fat cutworms wriggling slowly on the ground, and felt terrified. This thing looks ugly. The key is that when wriggling, Unpleasant reptiles like earthworms and leeches always make people feel hairy.

When Lin Zhaoyuan came to find her, he saw her squatting on the ground, looking at something with a disgusted face, obviously disgusted, but couldn't stop looking at it, and even stepped on her feet, and after stepping on it, she was desperately lying on the ground. He rubbed the soles of his shoes on the ground, trying to wipe away the disgusting slime.

Hehe, so cute!This is the innocent look that a girl should have!

Zhang Xiaocao, who was stepping on the ground tiger, suddenly heard someone laughing in this uninhabited place early in the morning, so scared that he immediately looked up and looked around, and bumped into the deep smiling eyes of the other person.

Zhang Xiaocao froze and stared at him blankly, for a moment, she didn't know how to react!
It wasn't until a cold hand touched her face lightly, and the smell of someone's body filled her nose, that she came back to her senses in a trance, quickly took two steps back, and pulled the two of them away. distance.

Lin Zhaoyuan felt her alienation, and his heart suddenly turned cold. The joy of seeing her just now disappeared in an instant.

"Are you avoiding me?"

The gloomy voice irritated Zhang Xiaocao's eardrums like thunder, she nodded subconsciously, and finally shook her head quickly, looking at him more vigilantly.

Lin Zhaoyuan looked at her reaction helplessly, his heart was filled with embarrassment, he hadn't seen her for more than a month, this girl was so unfamiliar with him, could it be that she really refused to give him a chance?

"why?"

There was endless resentment and unwillingness in the deep and pleasant voice, which made Zhang Xiaocao feel very depressed.

She didn't know whether his "why" was accusing her of being indifferent, or not responding, or both, no matter what it was, she couldn't answer because she didn't know how to answer!
Could it be that I also have a crush on you, but we are not suitable?
Yes, they are not suitable!In this era of being well-matched, the status of the two of them is not equal at all!He is young, smart and quick, and has certain contacts. He will have a good future in the future when he takes the imperial examination, but she is just a country girl, without a good background and extraordinary talents. She wants to be together, and the difficulties involved One can imagine!

Even if they are in love, the relationship is not static. He is a native of the ancients and has no modern concept of monogamy. Even if he really likes her, will he stop accepting other women for her sake?Even if he can, what about his family?

I heard that his mother is a woman with a strong sense of family status. The two of them are destined to have conflicts. Even if they become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, they will have constant conflicts. Besides, there is a difficult Lin Shiyuan!
Anyway, they really don't fit!Since the future can be predicted, why not take advantage of each other's undecided and cut the mess quickly?
Lin Zhaoyuan has been watching her quietly, not letting go of any expression on her face, when a decisive expression appeared on her face, his heart completely panicked!

Looking at the endless wilderness, the blue waves are rolling, the birds are singing, the spring is brilliant, such a gorgeous spring scene, but it can't hide the cotton field, and the eyes of the young Ruyu are deeply melancholy.

Zhang Xiaocao looked at him, deliberately ignoring the shimmer in his eyes that made her feel shivering, and said lightly: "There is no reason, you and I just met a few times and said a few words, even if you want to, I am ruthless!"

Even if you mean it, I'm ruthless, I'm ruthless...

You know, you are ruthless to me, but you have penetrated into my heart, into my blood and bones!You want me to let go, but you don't know, if I let go, I will have to gouge out my heart!

Lin Zhaoyuan looked at the girl who was only a few feet away from him, murmured softly, his eyes flashed, and suddenly a menacing sword light appeared. He moved lightly, and instantly approached the girl. Before she had time to react, he took her hand, gently But he absolutely controlled her, caressing her tender lips with one hand, with a wicked smile on the corner of his lips: "You think you can still escape after imprinting my Lin Zixi's mark? You are so cute Already!"
