Chapter 29 New Threats (1)
Hainan, Nanjiang Farm.
In the scorching sun, the vicious sunshine seemed to have to dry the hardworking people into jerky meat. Li Bihu led three assistants to carefully investigate in a ditch on the Nanjiang Farm. Their goal was the famous wild defeat. Wild defeat was the key to changing the rice variety. If wild defeat was found, Li Jun's hybrid rice plan could be realized. If it could not be found, it would be impossible.
It is imperative to resolve the food crisis and make the people have enough food to increase their output. Therefore, Li Bihu knew that his responsibility was great and led his assistants to keep checking and searching for almost rare wild defeats that were almost rare. They worked hard for more than a month but did not find wild defeats, which did not reduce their enthusiasm, but instead searched more actively.
It is no different to finding a needle in a haystack in endless plants. The father of Chinese hybrid rice spent more than six years on this wild plant. The difficulties can be imagined.
Li Bihu looked up at the sky. The sun above his head was raging and muttered, "Does such a vicious sun still make people live?" Hainan is located in the subtropical zone, and the sun is very poisonous. You can't blame Li Bihu, it's really a bit uncomfortable. Li Bihu pulled out the plug, drank a sip of water with his mouth and praised, "It's delicious." He took a few sips and said, "You guys should take a break too. It's too hot, don't have heatstroke."
The assistant was also exhausted and wiped sweat with his hands, saying, "It's much more poisonous than the sun and Lin'an, it's really not something that people can suffer."
"It's a little hot. However, you can catch another season of late rice while it's hot. If we are lucky and find wild fruit early, we can catch up with late rice." Li Bihu said anxiously: "I just don't know if the weather is better."
No one can tell this kind of thing, an assistant named Lai said: "It's accurate. I have a premonition and I should be able to find it."
He was really optimistic, which made Li Bihu laugh and said, "This is hard to say, don't think too well."
A flower's assistant said, "If you don't make it today, come back tomorrow. As long as we don't give up, we will definitely be able to find it."
He said with confidence, and Li Bihu nodded and agreed: "Yes. If you have this idea, can we still not do it? Don't be afraid of hardship, this is a great thing with immeasurable merit. If we do it, from now on, the people will be able to have enough food, no matter how hard or tired they are, it will be worth it."
The three assistants nodded in agreement.
"Ah! Snake, snake!" Lai's assistant screamed and jumped to escape.
"Snake? Where?" The assistant surnamed Hua looked around and said, "Where is it?" He saw a colorful giant snake, five feet long, facing them, holding the snake's head, spitting out a fiery red letter, his eyes immediately shining, and he shouted, "It's good to catch it and comfort us with the stew pot soup." It turned out that he was a glutton.
It was as if he saw a delicious beggar, and the stick in his hand hit the snake's head. The stick was as fast as the wind. Although the snake was agile, it did not dodge it. It just hit the snake's head. The snake rolled up and ran away. The assistant surnamed Hua could not let it go, so he chased after it.
You should know that there are many snakes and insects in subtropical places like Hainan, and it is very dangerous for one person. Li Bihu and the other two were afraid that he would make any mistakes, so they followed him to chase him.
Feng's assistant was also a glutton. He shouted while chasing, "It's so big, you can stew a large pot and have a good meal. This snake soup is very nourishing. If you drink a few bowls, you will lose your fatigue these days and you can continue working." It seemed like a large pot of delicious snake soup was waiting for him, and saliva was almost flowing down.
The snake was hit by a stick on its head, a little dizzy and it didn't escape too quickly. After a while, the four of them chased behind. The assistant named Lai hit the snake's body, and it hit the snake's tail without any bias. The snake was anxious and rushed towards a hole, and then got in.
The assistant surnamed Lai looked at the entrance of the cave and said regretfully: "This hole is very deep, it's a pity that it escapes."
Feng's assistant said with a quick look: "It's okay, this is easy to deal with. I used to be a master of snake catching, so this is not difficult for me." He walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at it, and said: "Be prepared, as soon as the snake came out, he greeted Qichai, don't hit other places." Without waiting for Li Bihu and the others to express anything, the stick in his hand aimed at the hole and stabbed it in, and said: "You still want to drill the hole, see how you drill it? Even if you drill into the underworld, you will poke you out."
The saying "killing snakes with sticks" is wrong. I remember when I was a child, I used a stick to stab a snake that drilled into a hole. The snake did not climb up along the stick, but ran away from the ground. As long as it cooperates well, one person pokes, and one must be prepared. Once the snake goes out of the hole and sticks, it will be blocked by seven inches and it will not be able to escape.
Feng's assistant poked the snake in a hurry, and suddenly jumped out. The assistant Lai's assistant hit Qicha, and hit Qicha. The snake rolled on the ground and could not escape again. Feng's assistant stretched out his hand, pinched Qicha, and said with a smile: "I want to escape from the palm of my master of catching snakes, but there is no door." He was very proud, as if he had picked up a treasure, and said: "After finishing work, I found a tree to nail it to the tree with bamboo nails, peel it up, stew a pot of soup, and you can have a good meal."
Li Bihu also smiled and said, "The harvest today is still quite big, at least the dinner is much more abundant. I buy wine."
Lai's assistant thought for a while and said, "I'll buy some wild game and make a table to satisfy my cravings and fatigue."
The assistant surnamed Hua said: "I'm busy looking for wild defeat these days. I'm really tired. I'll show off my skills and clean up the table to reward us." He cooked good dishes.
Feng's assistant said a little embarrassedly: "I have no other strengths except catching snakes, so I'll do errands. Just take the snake and get it." As he said, he stuffed the rope into the snake's mouth and pulled it off, tied it up, and held it in his hand. He was very happy.
Li Bihu's eyes suddenly shone, and he looked straight ahead, saying, "Oh my God, is it really a wild defeat? I didn't dream?"
The three assistants looked at him, right? Are there dozens of wild bears three feet ahead? The four of them were thinking about finding wild bears early all day long, but once their dreams became a reality, they couldn't turn around for a moment. They stared at wild bears blankly, and they didn't know how to turn their eyes. The snake in Feng's assistant's hand fell to the ground.
After a while, the dazed people woke up and cheered together: "Oh, the wild defeat! The wild defeat! The wild defeat was found! The wild defeat!" At the end of the call, they hugged each other and cried with excitement.
The cheering sob echoed in this empty field!
