What made Yunzhu change her expression was that there were several insects on the bean sprouts that had impressed her deeply in her previous life.
I saw an insect about the length of my thumb lying on the bean sprout closest to Yunzhu.
Because it was not far away, Yunzhu could see it relatively clearly.
He saw that the insect's head was reddish-brown, with reticulated patterns on its head, a flat forehead, and thick vertical brown lines on both sides of its body, slightly in the shape of a figure eight.
There are brown net patterns on the outside, and the body color is light green or black, depending on the plants it eats, or when there is a large pest infestation, it will almost always turn black.
There is a dark brown wide longitudinal band on the outside of the abdominal foot, and there is a semi-circular dark brown toe hook at the tip of the foot.
Yunzhu was very sure that this was definitely an armyworm that she knew about in her previous life and specifically checked online.
Armyworm is the name of an insect that hosts cereal crops such as wheat, rice, millet, and corn.
In addition, it also causes insect pests on more than 104 species of plants from 16 families, including cotton, beans, and vegetables.
The larvae feed on leaves, and when they occur in large numbers, they can eat all the leaves of crops, causing serious losses.
Because of its swarming, migratory, omnivorous, and gluttonous nature, it is simply a top pest.
You know, how unreasonable it was for people in ancient times to plant some crops.
In addition to keeping some for themselves to eat and exchange for other grains, the rest would probably be used to pay taxes.
If it was really eaten by insects, I'm afraid that this year's rations will be gone.
When she thought that the soybean production would be reduced due to insect pests, Yunzhu felt that all her money had been lost.
No, she would never let this happen.
Hearing Yunzhu's voice, Mr.
Yun looked at her with some confusion, but seeing that her face seemed anxious, he walked towards her with the tools in his hand.
"What's wrong?"
Mr.
Yun asked as he came closer to Yunzhu.
"Grandpa, I saw bugs growing on those bean seedlings, and I was a little scared."
Naturally, Yunzhu couldn't directly say that she found armyworms, because her body had grown so big, and she had been to the fields these three times. beside.
The first time was when Mrs.
Yun had not been abandoned, and the second time was when she first came here, when she helped Mrs.
Liu deliver food to the fields, but that time she didn't notice what was growing in the fields, because At that time, she had just arrived here, and her mind was still a little confused.
As for this time, she really noticed that there were soybeans growing in the ground, so she didn't know what the insect was and what was normal.
"Insects" you know, it is not a trivial matter if there are insects on the bean sprouts, so Mr.
Yun quickly lowered his head to look for the bean sprouts that Yun Zhu was talking about.
"It's there."
Seeing that Mr.
Yun was looking for him, Yun Zhu reached out and pointed a finger to give Mr.
Yun a hint.
Following Yunzhu's hand, Mr.
Yun saw the bugs on the bean sprouts.
His expression suddenly changed, and he obviously recognized the bugs on the bean sprouts.
"My dear, eldest, second, and third child, come here."
He shouted to Fang and Yunzhu's three uncles who were busy in the field.
Mr.
Yun frowned tightly.
Hearing Mr.
Yun's voice, several people immediately came over with the tools in their hands.
Mr.
Yun pointed at the bean sprouts, and the faces of the four mothers suddenly changed.
"Although the color of this armyworm is still light and it seems that it has not been able to get up yet, if there is this thing in the ground, it will soon spread in large areas.

What should I do now?"
Mr.
Yun looked at the changed Fang and the others looked pale and asked for everyone's opinions.
"At this moment", the four mothers looked at me and I looked at you, but they all had no idea.
You know, Yunzhu lived in an imaginary era, which was different from modern times.
At that time, it was really difficult to control pests.
Usually if there were pests, you could only ask someone to report it to the government to reduce taxes.
Otherwise, When the pests spread and the autumn harvest season comes, these farmers who rely on their fields for food will starve to death.
"Let's finish this little bit of grass first, and let's go home and discuss it."
Although he knew that if something like this happened, he basically had to wait for it to spread, but Mr.
Yun still held on to hope in his heart, just in case there was a way.
You know, this is a family's ration for a year.
It seemed that it was because of the discovery of army worms that Yunzhu's uncles and grandma Fang all had gloomy faces and followed Mr.
Yun carrying tools to continue weeding.
Yunzhu looked at the backs of several people and frowned tightly.
These soybeans were rations for the family, but they were also very important to herself.
She must find a way to solve these pests.
Thinking like this, Yunzhu tried her best to recall the information about getting rid of armyworms that she had seen in her previous life.
She needed the most convenient, trouble-free and cost-effective way, because this is not a modern place and there are no effective pesticides.
After much deliberation, Yunzhu had several options.
Apart from the most expensive one, Yunzhu still had the most disgusting one and a slightly more expensive one.
After thinking of a way, Yunzhu had a headache again.
How could he explain these two ways?
After all, Yunzhu is only eight years old now.
This is the first time he has seen armyworms today.
How could he possibly know how to control them?
When Mr.
Yun and others finished weeding all the grass, Yun Zhu didn't think of a solution.
She had to help Yun carry her things, and then followed everyone back home.
As soon as he got home, Mr.
Yun called all the family members except the children to the house.
Since Yun was also there, Yunzhu shamelessly followed Yun into the house.
Seeing Yun Zhu, Mrs.
Zhang glared at her fiercely and was about to kick her out when she heard Mr.
Yun speak.
"I called you in because Yunzhu found armyworms in the ground today.
You all know what will happen if armyworms grow on these bean sprouts."
After sighing, Mr.
Yun frowned and continued, "This But you all need to think about what to do with the food rations for our whole family for a year."
As soon as Mr.
Yun's words came out, the room suddenly became quiet.
Yun Zhu felt that she could really hear a pin drop at this time.
Yunzhu secretly looked at everyone's reactions and felt extremely anxious, because she clearly had a way, but she couldn't say it at all.
What should she do?
Because Yun Zhu, the only one who knew the solution, couldn't tell, no idea was discussed until dinner.

Mr.
Yun sighed, waved his hand, and kicked everyone out of the room.
Today, Mrs.
Wang was cooking, so Yunzhu followed Mr.
Yun back to the thatched house in the backyard.
Because of the armyworm incident, even Mr.
Yun kept frowning and sat on the kang, sighing.
"Mom, are armyworms very powerful?"
Yunzhu thought about it, and finally decided to start with Yun's family, because armyworms harm crops in large areas, so as long as her family finds out, the whole village will soon be affected.
Discover.
Ever since the Yun family was abandoned and came back with their children, there have always been people chatting with each other more or less.
Yunzhu felt that if she could tell the Yun family the method, and then tell the method to Mr.
Yun and the people in the village through her, it should be It can change the views of the people in the village towards Yunshi.
"Armyworms are not only terrible, they also give people a headache."
Hearing her daughter ask, Yun held Yunzhu in her arms and told her about the disadvantages of armyworms.
"My mother has heard about it since she was a child.
It is the first time in so many years."
I encountered armyworms in the ground for the first time.”
"Mother, I seem to have heard of what you said."
Yunzhu let Yun hold her.
Although it was summer, Yunzhu didn't feel hot in Yun's arms.
On the contrary, she felt very warm.
Enjoy this feeling.
"Oh, my Pearl has heard it at such a young age.
Then tell your mother, when did you hear it?"
Thinking that her daughter was joking, Yun asked with a smile.
"Do you still remember Granny He?"
The Granny He mentioned by Yun Zhu was a person who existed in the memory of the original owner.
She lived next door to Yunzhu's house when the Yun family was not abandoned.
Granny He has a very strange temperament, so people in the whole village don't interact with her very much.
She doesn't like to socialize with others.
Even if she is neighbors with the Yun family, she never takes the initiative to say a word.
Although Granny He had an eccentric temperament, she was kind to Yunzhu.
When Yunzhu was a child, she often went to Granny He's house to play and listen to her tell her stories.
The reason why Yunzhu mentioned her today was because Granny He had passed away.
At that time, it was Yun who helped take care of the funeral affairs because Granny He had treated Yunzhu well in the past.
"Remember."
After hearing what her daughter said, Yunshi immediately remembered.
She looked at Yunzhu, waiting for her to continue.
"I used to go to Grandma He's house, and she always told me some interesting things.
She said that when she was a child, there was an insect infestation at home, and she was attacked by armyworms.
A passing monk told the people in the village two methods.
As a result, the people in the village followed the instructions and actually eliminated the armyworms."
Yunzhu said innocently, but secretly despised himself in his heart, but there was no way, this was the only way to reasonably control the armyworms. method.
"Then Zhu'er still remembers the solution?

Tell mother."
Hearing what Yunzhu said, Mrs.
Yun quickly held Yunzhu on her lap and asked seriously.
Seeing Mrs.
Yun like this, Yun Zhu secretly smiled inwardly, but her face still looked innocent.
She tilted her head and pretended to be thinking.
After a while, she said, "Remember."
"Then tell me what the methods are."
There was a hint of urgency in his voice.
Yun knew that if there was really a way to treat armyworms, it would be a great good thing.
"Well, of these two methods, one is to grind the ginger into powder, or cut it into very fine and very small pieces, then put it in water and spray it on the ground and seedlings; the other is to grab it Then grind up the armyworms, add some crushed mugwort and wormwood, and spray them on the ground.
The armyworms will not appear again for a long time
