Chapter 260: Hornets come to scout

He actually knew what was going on, but now he wanted to hear more details.

The bad thing about children growing up is just this: when they were wronged as children, they knew how to cry to their family, but when they grew up, they only knew how to endure it.

Such a big thing as a car accident, and she didn't dare to make a sound. Why didn't she dare to make a sound? Song Sancheng understood in his heart: one was fear of making the family worry, and the other was definitely fear of spending too much money in the hospital.

Thinking of this, he had to earn more money! He looked at his daughter's currently black and thick hair, and then thought about how she looked when she first came back, with a square piece of gauze covering and hiding it in her hair...

Instantly, he was full of fighting spirit again:

"Tantan, I'm going to the mountain to see how the peach blossoms are being picked."

"Okay!"

Song Tan responded casually.

Now there was no work in the fields, and no work on the mountain. Occasionally, there were watermelons that needed topping or vegetable seedlings on the mountain that needed care. Zhang Wang's family worked more meticulously on the mountain than anyone else.

The old man held a breath in his heart; he felt uncomfortable without work.

But staying in the peach forest every day, soaked in subtle spiritual energy, he didn't even notice himself that his spirit and complexion looked much better during this period.

The pain brought to him by his wife's passing also decreased.

Before long, after the seven-seven, he could also safely eat with the Song family.

Wu Lan was reluctant to part with the tea leaves on the mountain, and she and Wang Lifen went to pick tea every day. Grandpa stayed at home to do some odd jobs, and as for Song Sancheng... he followed along.

There was no specific division of labor in the family, and no urgent work; it was purely because everyone couldn't stay idle.

But speaking of the mountain, Song Tan remembered that the big client introduced by her lifesaver wanted a lot of honey, but there wasn't much at the time, only 43 jin in stock, so she gave it all to him.

Now, I don't know if he still wants it?

There were also quite a few people asking to buy honey on the online shop.

It's been so long, can we cut a little bit out now?

Thinking of this, she quickly raised her voice:

"Qiao Qiao, go to the mountain and check on the bees!"

Qiao Qiao rushed out instantly: "I checked this morning, they have given birth to many little bees again, the boxes are full!"

"Is that so?" Now this piece was all handed over to Qiao Qiao, and anyway, no big problems would arise, so Song Tan didn't worry anymore. But hearing this, she immediately agreed: "Wait until another day, I'll go buy two more beehives."

She could make them herself, but there was no need. Better to find a beekeeper; he had plenty of these things.

The sister and brother started walking towards the back mountain.

On the way, Qiao Qiao was still showing off like a treasure:

"Sister, Teacher Xin taught me to search for learning materials online. I now know that our bees are called Chinese honeybees, and they are the Ministry of Agriculture... um... national-level livestock and poultry... um... that, genetic resource protection breed!"

This term was a bit long, and he could only think of it slowly, bit by bit.

But Song Tan really didn't know.

When cultivating and farming, everything relied on spiritual energy and spells to push through. Who would study these things?

At this moment, she looked surprised: "Really? So important?!"

"Hmm!"

Qiao Qiao nodded heavily and began to count with his fingers: "Because they have strong collection ability, long honey-gathering period, good adaptability, good disease resistance, and eat little, they are very suitable for our country."

He became more proud as he spoke, feeling that the bees he raised were simply the most excellent in the world.

"Okay!"

Song Tan also supported his attitude: "Since the bees are handed over to you, it's only right that you are responsible. Learn more knowledge in the future; if there are any problems later, it will all depend on you!"

Qiao Qiao also solemnly agreed to this matter: "I have been learning!"

At this moment, he walked familiarly to the 5 beehives in row 1. The bees buzzing around were not afraid of being stung for the sister and brother, so they felt exceptionally peaceful under this tree.

Qiao Qiao opened the beehive and was just about to pull out a comb, but suddenly the bees in the hive were continuously gathering into a ball.

Now, under the eyes of the two, it was almost the size of a ping pong ball!

"What is this?"

Song Tan was a bit puzzled, but Qiao Qiao froze for a moment, then instantly became anxious:

"Sister, it's a hornet!"

Song Tan then reacted; what they were wrapping was a hornet.

This thing is the natural enemy of honeybees, biting one in half with a big mouth. The key is that they don't just leave after eating their fill, but kill first, then talk!

The toxicity is also great, and generally, no one dares to provoke them.

That stinger can also be popped out repeatedly, and it won't die like a honeybee after stinging someone.

This is trouble. Being targeted by hornets, she has to think of a way to protect them without leaving a trace...

She was pondering, but saw Qiao Qiao had already reached out and grabbed the bee ball in his hand—

"Be careful!"

Before Song Tan could warn him, she saw Qiao Qiao had already quickly stroked the group of bees with his fingers.

Unexpectedly, even in a hurry, the group of bees didn't attack him, just buzzed and gathered, and it took a long time before they slowly dispersed one by one.

Finally, only a ball the size of a quail egg remained in his palm, motionless.

Qiao Qiao's eyes were red.

At this moment, he pushed aside the quail-egg-sized bee ball, only to see that the bees wrapped on top were all dead.

And in the very center, a huge hornet was also stiffly wrapped there, motionless.

"It must be that this hornet came into the hive to look, was discovered by the bees, and then they wrapped it up so it wouldn't go back to report."

Song Tan really didn't know as much about honeybees as Qiao Qiao. At this moment, she leaned over and touched the silly child's head with heartache: "They are..."

Qiao Qiao was extremely sad: "Hornets are afraid of heat, and their temperature is one degree lower than honeybees, so honeybees can only wrap them up to heat them to death."

"But when they wrap them up, the hornets also sting them, so they sting the ones inside to death."

At this moment, Song Tan didn't know what kind of mood she was in.

Survival of the fittest, nature's competition is far more cruel than she could describe.

However, as long as there is life, the struggle has always been like this.

It was Qiao Qiao, who had such a soft heart... he couldn't bear to part with the field mouse that hadn't opened its eyes, and he was sad about the dead bees.

This child...

She just sighed silently: "Will there only be one hornet?"

Qiao Qiao carefully put the bee ball on the ground, looked at the other beehives, and everything else was normal, then he quickly closed the box, looking serious:

"No, there are usually several hornets coming to scout! There must be other hornets that ran back!"

He made up his mind: "I want to guard here!"

"When the hornets come, I want to drive them away!"

Song Tan:...

She just thought his mind had matured a bit.

"Just you? What are you going to use to fight hornets? Hornets are poisonous. Stinging you once is more painful than when Big Bear did!"

"If you have an allergic shock, or something else... you're not afraid, but I am!" ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
