With the arrival of summer, the bamboo water diversion pipe that Wu Hui spent several days to complete was also completed. Stones and wood were used to frame it from the source all the way to the hometown, and the reservoir was connected below.

The flow is not large, but it is constant, and the reservoir is full every day. The water outlet of the reservoir can be used to wash hands, clothes, etc., or take a bath.

With such a reservoir, it is much more convenient to feed cows, pigs, and pheasants. At the same time, you don’t have to travel too far for irrigation, which is really convenient.

The crops in the fields have begun to mature, the vegetables have grown, and the rice is still a few days away. But it’s not far from harvest.

The expected harvest of this batch of rice is really not much, only a dozen kilograms, and Wu Hui plans to plant it all again. The fields have been cultivated, and the second batch should be harvested in the autumn. Logically speaking, it can reach a level of hundreds to thousands of kilograms.

Well, then the amount of fertilizer needed is quite a lot. I don’t know if the fertilizer I have saved for so long is enough. The scale of breeding may also be expanded in the future.

It was a sunny day today. Wang Xiaodie went out to graze herds and see if there was any chance of hunting. Wu Hui went to the beach to make salt.

Salt must be replenished regularly.

Then Wu Hui discovered that the giant ape was missing from the forest he passed along the way. There are a lot more spider webs and a big spider.

When the seasons change, all kinds of little o’s also change?

It's a bit of a trap, but it could also be a good thing. Spider o should have spider silk. And if this kind of thing is processed, it will become an excellent textile material.

Spider silk can be either very sticky or non-sticky. It mainly depends on the spider's own arrangement. It's all sticky and it's hard to move by itself.

Spider silk is very strong. It's just too thin so it seems easy to break. If there is pencil-thick spider silk, it can stop the collision of the plane.

Are all insects this season? Wu Hui observed for a while and then continued to the beach.

Don't worry, I'll summarize what I saw today with Wang Xiaodie when I get back. Today I went to the beach to finish the salt production. It had been raining for the past few days and it was not convenient to do it.

Salt made once can last for a long time, and the salt at home can obviously be used for ten or twenty days. But Wu Hui never waits for the salt to be used up before preparing it. He must get it in advance.

I don’t know if it’s because the shark has been killed before. Nothing new appeared in the sea. When Wu Hui was making salt, he also picked up some kelp and crabs.

At the same time, Wang Xiaodie also found a praying mantis standing on the grass.

She said that she felt that this one-on-one match could be fought. I can win. But it's not necessary. Wouldn't it be better to wait for Wu Hui to besiege him? Why do you have to fight head-on when you can easily win by playing some dirty tricks?

In fact, Wang Xiaodie still cherishes her life. She's only reckless when it's not life-threatening.

Otherwise, he would not have directly offered to be a slave to Wu Hui because of the threat to his life. Of course, there are also reasons why she wants to trick Wu Hui in turn.

As a result, I spent the rest of my life stuck in it.

Hmm... Actually, Wang Xiaodie said that she didn't like men very much at first, preferring women. Of course, the essence is still one-size-fits-all, that is, I have never seen handsome people before.

The subsequent relationship was purely due to spending a long time with Wu Hui.

Frankly speaking, Wu Hui was quite a gentleman to her in the early days. There is no need to be strong, he can be calm and calm even if he throws himself into his arms. Well, I was calm the first few times, but then I lost my composure.

Sure enough, I am still very charming.

After the cows were half full, Wang Xiaodie drove them home. She felt it was necessary to reveal the mantis she saw and some other information to bring back to Wu Hui.

Wu Hui is obviously much calmer than Wang Xiaodie. Seeing the same o, he can calmly wait for the things at hand to be completed before studying. :

Wu Hui, who was carrying a small bag of salt home, saw Wang Xiaodie, who was milking cows after returning home first, and said that you lazy guy has finally become diligent. Wang Xiaodie gave him the middle finger.

"Well, it seems that the o's have been completely replaced after the change of seasons. The o's in summer should be all these big bugs." Wu Hui nodded: "The o's in autumn and winter may also change."

This is not a good thing. The swarm of insects

It sounds like something related to a locust plague. There is an insect wave event on the calendar.

The locust plague... is one of the most serious disasters affecting agricultural products.

Judging from the weather this year, drought is unlikely and floods are also unlikely. So what Wu Hui is most worried about is this pest.

Don't listen to what some people say about eating locusts when they come. But in fact, not all types of locusts are edible, and even if they are eaten, they must be eaten before they cause a disaster.

Biological control basically involves letting chickens and ducks eat the larvae and eggs.

It is very troublesome to prevent locusts from causing large-scale disasters. Not only crops, but also all kinds of edible plants around will be eaten clean.

Maybe there's a way to get rid of this problem before the locusts show up? It may not be locusts, but it is definitely an insect plague.

That’s why people say that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. It's because after heavy snowfall, insect eggs and other things can be destroyed. Insect infestations will be less likely to occur in the second year.

Hmm... Wu Hui thought about two options for a while. One is to wait until the insect infestation has passed before planting and then harvesting in the second half of autumn. There is no risk in this way, but the return will be significantly reduced.

Another option is naturally to find ways to find the source of the insect disaster. As for directly planting it and betting that nothing will happen, that is definitely not what Wu Hui would do.

Well, the solution to this kind of thing...

Wu Hui looked at the calendar, and the event that stood between him and the insect tide was the dragon coming out of the valley in summer.

Behind is the blood moon of autumn and the passion of winter. They are also placed after the dragon comes out of the valley. Are you implying that we should take a nap? Can the incident be prevented by killing o?

Wu Hui thought for a moment. I feel it is necessary to take the time to kill o to improve attributes, and then kill the summer dragon.

Spiders, praying mantises...what else are there? Ants bees beetles butterflies?

Wu Hui inevitably thought of the Butterfly Organization.

I wonder if the Butterfly Queen also survived in this wilderness?

But Wang Xiaodie jumped up on her own initiative: "During this period, I also picked up a few potion ingredients. If I'm lucky, I might be able to get a potion to drink. Now I'm just missing two marks."

It was a potion that she wanted to prepare in the outside world but the materials were never enough. Butterfly tissue can't do it, which means it really doesn't exist on the market.

But in this game, maybe there is still hope?

In short, during this period, we need to prepare to harvest the first crop, improve the cellar, and prepare for killing o.

Hope it doesn't rain too much. The current temperature at noon is 289 degrees, which is not too hot. It will probably be a little over 30 degrees in a month. In this kind of wilderness without the heat island effect, the temperature will not be too high, and there is still a lot of transpiration from the vegetation to cool down.

Especially when it rains, it's even a little cool at night. So the most troublesome thing in summer is not the temperature but the bugs.
