Chapter 1558: Honey Thief
Now is spring. To be honest, it is an extremely friendly season for bees, because the staple food of bees is still nectar. Although some will eat some insect larvae, these larvae are also in spring.
most of the time.
So it’s understandable that honeycombs can be seen everywhere in spring.
This is the season when thousands of trees grow, and it is also the season when all things compete for a territory in the world.
Xiao Hui finally took the initiative to discover the hornet's nest for the first time. As the saying goes, only three things are possible, but with the pleasure of revenge, this guy actually looked eager to try.
"Don't be flirty. If you step on it again this time, I'll catch you and we'll have a great time getting stung together!"
Yu Fei looked sideways at Xiao Hui and said, this guy is so cheating, he made himself run away twice, it was so embarrassing.
After hearing Yu Fei's threat, Xiao Hui immediately lowered his head. His revenge plan was aborted just as it emerged in his mind.
"Anyway, they are all being chased. A swarm of bees is not worth much. There is no secret, and there is no advantage. You have to choose the right target. Although the bee has to pay for poking thousands of honeycombs, there is a secret to eat!"
Yu Fei began to teach Xiao Hui that since you pay a price for doing something, you must get a reward. If you can eat a bite of secret and then be chased and stung, it will be considered a good deal.
When Yu Fei said this, Xiao Hui got excited again. To be honest, there are many kinds of plants in this mountain forest, so there are also a lot of bees.
Xiao Hui didn't know how to find a bee hive. It would be too difficult if it relied entirely on luck, but Yu Fei had many ways.
Bees will also collect honey within a certain range of the hive, so there are only two routes for bees, one is to leave the hive to collect honey, and the other is to take it back to make honey after collecting it.
So you only need to observe whether the bees flying around are carrying the harvested honey. If they are, follow them all the way.
There is no need to follow one all the time, because the closer you get to the hive, the more bees you will encounter.
According to the experience of beekeeping told by the old man in the village, Yu Fei quickly led the confused Xiao Hui to the vicinity of a big tree.
There were more and more bees flying around, and it seemed that the hive was nearby, and Yu Fei judged that the hive was on that big tree.
Bees like to make their nests in hollow tree trunks. When many large trees get old, the trunks in the middle will die and then be hollowed out by borers, making them good bee nests.
Yu Fei walked straight towards the big tree, and Xiao Hui hurriedly followed. When he walked not far from the big tree, he could already see that the big tree was nearly a hundred years old, and the trunk was as thick as three people could hold it.
However, when the tree grows to such a large size, the tissue cells in the middle of the trunk are too old, so they have died.
Then Yu Fei discovered that a hole appeared more than two meters above the ground. It was probably the work of the woodpecker, which opened a passage for the bees.
The industrious little bees are constantly flying in and out of that place, looking very busy.
This season happens to be the season when bees are crazily accumulating honey and increasing their population, because only spring and summer are the seasons when bees have the most food.
Bees are animals born from worries. Every spring, they begin to work hard to prepare for winter.
Seeing how busy the bees were, Yu Fei knew that there must be a lot of sweet and delicious honey inside the tree trunk, especially the golden bee slices, which could drip out of honey when picked up.
Take it off and bite into it, and the aroma will be left in your mouth immediately. It is so sweet that you can feel better instantly.
Moreover, when chewing bee slices, it will feel like chewing gum. Perhaps the invention of chewing gum may have had similar inspiration.
Think about it
If there are so many, then this honeycomb must be poked. As long as you don't do everything, leave some for the little bees inside. In this season when all things are prosperous, the little bees will expand their food reserves again.
But don't be reckless when poking the honeycomb, otherwise robbing someone of honey is like killing your parents, and the little bees will risk their lives.
So this is a technical job that even Xiao Hui can't help with, so he has to do it himself.
Yu Fei looked around. Around the big tree, because the sunlight was monopolized, there were relatively few plants. There were many small trees that died as they grew, and a lot of grass that died last year.
Yu Fei walked over and found some hay, and then found some branches of different thicknesses.
A torch was quickly made, but the most important thing was the smoke. The torch in Yu Fei's hand was too dry and would burn quickly without much smoke.
"Come on, if you want to eat honey, you have to make some contribution!"
Yu Fei threw the torch in front of Xiao Hui and said.
Xiao Hui is covered in gray. Do you want to eat grass to make a contribution? But just eat grass. There are also branches in there, and even dogs won’t eat them!
Seeing Xiao Hui's innocent look, Yu Fei suppressed his laughter and said nothing, waiting to see if the guy would really eat it.
Xiao Hui thought for a while, but it seemed that he still couldn't stand the temptation of honey, so he actually lowered his head and bit the torch.
"Hey, you are a real tiger! Did I say let you eat it?"
Yu Fei hurriedly called out to Xiao Hui, "This guy is really a die-hard foodie. Don't you think about it, will eating a torch be helpful in poking the honeycomb?"
Xiao Hui looked at Yu Fei aggrievedly, wondering what Yu Fei wanted to do.
"Pee! Wet the torch!"
Yu Fei said helplessly to Xiao Hui.
After hearing this, Xiao Hui looked at Yu Fei in surprise, "You made a torch and made me wet again. Isn't this crazy?"
Xiao Hui now understands that the harder it is to ignite firewood, the better. After finally understanding this, it seems that he has more advanced knowledge.
However, Xiao Hui's request for Yu Fei was that as long as he could do it, there would be no delay. Without saying a word, he walked up and crossed his legs, and started swishing.
After Xiao Hui finished, he shook his head with satisfaction. He squinted his little eyes and looked like he was enjoying it. Yu Fei then grabbed the handle of the torch with satisfaction and shook the torch back and forth to prevent excess water from dripping onto his face.
superior.
After the torch was made, the next step was to take action. Yu Fei took the torch and walked to the big tree. Little bees were flying around him. Because Yu Fei did not take the initiative to attack, he ignored his existence.
Yu Fei took out a lighter and lit the dry firewood on the torch.
Suddenly a flame broke out, and soon it burned on the wet firewood, and a thick smoke began to spread everywhere.
Little bees mainly rely on smell to identify. Yu Fei's torch has all kinds of materials, including Xiao Hui's urine, which makes the smell very complex.
Then the little bee got lost and started flying around.
This is the time!
Yu Fei immediately started to move, holding a torch in his left hand, taking out a dagger in his right hand, and slashed the tree trunk.
Yu Fei knew that the tree trunk was hollow inside, so he cut it in easily with the knife, and then made a big gash with a single stroke.
After changing the position and repeating the action, the two holes were torn open, and then Yu Fei made two cross cuts, and a small window was opened by Yu Fei.
Little Bee was so dizzy from the smoke that she didn't know what was happening. Yu Fei, the secret thief, was well hidden in the thick smoke.
Yu Fei could hold his breath for a long time, so he didn't need to breathe. He opened the gap and looked inside, and immediately smiled happily.
Because he saw a lot of bee slices filled with golden honey hanging inside the hollow tree trunk. These little bees were so capable that they actually stored so much honey.
Thick smoke also poured in through the gap, and the little bees inside were confused. They didn't know how their home could catch fire. The instinct of survival made them fly out of the nest and fly around to escape.
Yu Fei reached in, gently broke off a piece of bee, and took it out from the gap.
Seeing the golden bee slices dripping with honey, Yu Fei took a bite.
There is no rattling sound, because it is all honey, which is also a kind of liquid, so there will be no rattling.
A stream of sticky honey flowed around in his mouth, and Yu Fei chewed it. The fragrance of wild honey, with a hint of the plant itself, was followed by a mouthful of sweetness.
Yu Fei was very satisfied with his meal. Xiao Hui, who was standing aside and waiting, looked at Yu Fei's mouth with wide eyes, and the buzz from the corner of his mouth was dripping. A few panicked bees flew over and landed on Xiao Hui's mouth.
On the body, Xiao Hui didn’t feel any bites at first.
The great temptation of delicious food can be seen. As sweet as Yu Fei's food is, Xiao Hui's mouth will be watery.
"Oh, I forgot about you!"
Yu Fei took a few bites, and seeing Xiao Hui's behavior, he threw the rest directly to Xiao Hui.
Xiao Hui opened his mouth and bit it without hesitation, but a piece of the soft bee slice was directly bitten off, and the rest fell off and fell on the grass.
Xiao Hui ate the meat with a big mouth and chewed it vigorously. This guy actually looked like he was enjoying the meat. I am afraid this is the first wolf that loves sweets.
Yu Fei pulled out another bee slice, held it in his hand and ate it with satisfaction. This kind of pure natural food couldn't be more delicious.
Honey contains the fragrance of flowers, especially wild honey. There are no messy things added to it. You can never taste this taste outside.
Xiao Hui quickly finished his portion and looked at Yu Fei. Yu Fei had no choice but to give him the leftovers and took out another piece himself.
The poor little bees were so dizzy from the smoke that they had no idea what was going on. However, some irritable little bees saw the little ash that was not covered by the thick smoke and launched a mindless attack.
But bees are not very poisonous, and Xiao Hui is covered in hair, so he completely ignores the poor little bee. If you can sting me through my thick hair, then I will admit it.
However, the torch went out while eating. The main reason was that Yu Fei and Xiao Hui should not enjoy the fruits of the crime at the crime scene. It had been too long, and the torch did not have unlimited energy supply.
When the smoke cleared, Yu Fei and Xiao Hui were exposed in front of the angry and helpless little bees. The two honey thieves were still eating happily. Suddenly they realized that something was wrong. The bees no longer flew around randomly, but found their target.
Attacked.
"Ouch..."
Finally, a little bee found the right spot and stabbed its poisonous needle hard into the tip of Xiao Hui's nose.
Xiao Hui screamed in pain and almost dropped the honey in his mouth. Greedy, he hurriedly closed his mouth again and swallowed it in big gulps.
"run!"
Yu Fei also felt that he had almost eaten, so he conveniently installed the bark he cut back, so that the bees could still make a home here for the time being. If they left such a big gap, other animals would come after they left.
, it is also a disaster for the little bees.
Yu Fei turned around and ran to a small tree, took down the tortoise hanging on it, and the ginseng hanging on it, took it and ran away!
Chapter completed!
