Chapter 265 Fleas
"There are so many mosquitoes and they are still waiting for you to remind them. Many people have been stared at like fools."
After Shu Ling finished reading the weather forecast, he couldn't help but complain that it felt like it was just as useless as not reading it at all.
Put away your natal core, then get up, wash up and greet the new day.
He directly sent the safe route to Su Ranran: "Are you sure your two companions want to send it too?"
At this time, Su Ranran had not woken up yet. She turned over drowsily and planned to take a nap.
Seeing that Su Ranran didn't reply to his message, Shu Lingyi didn't care anymore. He went to wash up and get something to eat first.
Today she wanted to verify her guess from yesterday, whether only the monsters in her territory were of low level.
Would it be more dangerous if she left the area protected by the territory's shield, or would the monsters she encountered be of higher levels?
The best place to verify this guess at this time is probably the big river near Zhong Qingwei.
After all, this place is not within the protection range of the shield. When Shu Lingyi established the territory, only the places she had been to counted within the territory.
At that time, Shu Lingyi had never been to that big river, so it was not within the protection range of her territory.
He prepared the food and sent it to Su Ranran, then delivered it to each of his own residents, as well as the players who helped smelt the gold.
[Yi Ling]: "Comrade Zhong, how is the management of the river over there going? Is there anything you can help with? Are there still a lot of insect eggs?"
Shu Lingyi asked the question immediately on the pretext that he had not brought food to Zhong Qingwei.
[So redundant]: "Yesterday, the situation didn't feel particularly ideal, but it was okay. But I don't know about today."
[So redundant]: "Today's weather forecast is a bit mysterious. I'm afraid the insect eggs will get worse overnight."
This kind of thing does happen, but if it is not reported in the weather forecast, it may not develop into something scary.
Once the weather forecast is written, it basically means that the problem is starting to become serious or even out of control.
Shu Lingyi was also worried about this.
[Yi Ling]: "Then I'll go to your place right after I finish eating. I'll bring all my weapons with me to help you."
As for what her killing weapon is, the first one must be the pheasant!
This can not only feed the pheasants, but also speed up their egg-laying process and solve the disaster at the same time.
It's like killing three birds with one stone, and it makes everyone happy.
【How redundant】: "Thank you so much!"
Shu Lingyi not only had to bring her three chickens, she also had to bring all her frogs and bullfrogs.
Now that these pheasants have arrived at the river, they can only eat insect eggs along the shore.
The problems in the middle of the river have to be dealt with by frogs and other water-familiar monsters.
As for the fact that Shu Lingyi only had a few bullfrogs in his hand, she ignored it.
Why was she panicking? At worst she could go to Uncle Wang Xiangguo and borrow some more.
Fill your stomach and bring any tools and weapons you might need.
Don't forget to bring some dried fruits with you before you go out. These dried fruits can help you fill your stomach during the journey.
Medicinal soup and Yuquan water are also indispensable, and it is best to prepare floral water now.
Therefore, Shu Lingyi boiled another pot of medicinal soup, intending to set out after it was ready.
Prepare the medicinal soup and wait for half an hour for it to be ready.
Shu Lingyi then went out to check on the many plants planted in his farmland. At this moment, many crops in the farmland had grown out and they could be harvested in a day or two.
Looking at his masterpiece, Shu Lingyi was very satisfied with it and nodded with a smile: "Very good..."
"Oh no!"
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Wang's voice came from behind her. His voice was loud and full of anxiety and fear.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Shu Ling turned around and saw Jiang Wang rushing towards him holding Lan Yangyang!
Behind him, there is a group of pheasants chasing him. It can be said that they are all out, including wife cakes and red bean cakes!
This scene was extremely shocking.
Jiang Wang went to feed the pets early in the morning as he did before. Now the pheasants had a special supplement, so they didn't need much feed.
There are a lot of mosquitoes now, and although their levels are not high, Jiang Wang still lets them out first.
"Yuexue is pregnant with the baby. She will give birth tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest, so I feed her last and take good care of her."
"Then I will release these pheasants first, and then release the lambs."
Jiang Wang quickly ran to Shu Lingyi's side, breathing heavily. His face was flushed due to the intense exercise in the past few minutes.
Shu Ling stopped the members of the Pheasant who were chasing his father, and patiently asked his father what had happened.
"Who knows? It was these little sheep. When I picked them up for inspection, something bit me twice. I thought it was strange..."
Jiang Wang scratched the inside of his arm but didn't feel anything, wondering if he was bitten by a mosquito, but he had applied some toilet water!
He told Shu Lingyi everything like pouring beans, and Shu Lingyi also found it strange.
"But it seems that when I put a little more on it, it has an effect again, and now I don't feel any particular effects anymore."
Then, in front of Shu Lingyi, he applied some floral water on the two bumps he had just made.
The effect was very quick after applying it, and the itching sensation just now disappeared soon.
"This..." Shu Ling grabbed his father's arm and took a look. Indeed, the bag had faded a little.
"I was bitten by something, but it doesn't seem likely to be a mosquito... So is the problem with the little sheep?!"
Shu Ling set his eyes on Lazy Sheep, staring at it in doubt and uncertainty, and even reached out to take it from Jiang Wang's arms.
Sure enough, as soon as she picked it up, a bug the size of a fingernail jumped onto her hand.
It was a black thing, and it seemed to want to bite Shu Lingyi's arm.
But since she was just an ordinary third-level monster, her sharp mouthparts were directly broken by the bite.
Black Bug: ? ?
In that moment of distraction, Shu Ling picked it up directly.
And it seemed that there were more than one on this Lazy Sheep. In just this short contact, there were two or three of them, jumping onto Shu Lingyi's arms one after another.
But the ending, of course, is horrible.
Shu Lingyi's current defense can directly catch up with most of the fourth-level monsters.
A third-level monster like this has no special abilities and cannot break Shu Lingyi's defense at all.
They can only bully players like Jiang Wang whose attribute points have not been raised by Shu Lingyi.
If it were Luo Zhiqing, they wouldn't be able to bite it either.
After all, Luo Zhiqing has been eating barbecue with Shu Lingyi since their first meal until now, and except for the slight difference in basic values, the two are basically in sync now.
Shu Ling let go of Lazy Sheep and told it to lie on the ground and not move.
I pinched the two ignorant little bugs and looked at them: "Aren't these fleas?"
This thing is a public enemy on Blue Planet, especially those who have cats and dogs, they all hate it.
Fleas are not easy to kill. Sometimes you can’t even pinch them to death. You have to pinch them hard with your fingernails to kill them.
For example, now, with Shu Lingyi's attack power, he couldn't kill the flea in his hand directly after pinching it several times.
In the end, I had to use the old method. I pinched the flea's belly and pinched it hard with my fingernails. The flea broke into two pieces and finally calmed down.
Information about these fleas appears in the survival atlas. These are ordinary flea monsters, slightly larger than the first and second level ones.
It can suck about 0.5 ml of blood at a time. It has a pair of long legs and excellent jumping ability. It can easily jump 20 centimeters from the ground and can also jump half a meter away.
Therefore, when the little lambs were not paying attention, the parasite parasitized them.
"Go check on the other sheep."
Jiang Wang nodded and brought the other sheep over. Shu Lingyi took out the amine grass he brought from his personal space and fumigated Lazy Sheep with it.
Soon the fleas jumped off its body one after another. There were only about ten level three fleas and more than twenty level two fleas!
It looks scary.
The second-level fleas could not bear the fumigation of amine grass at close range and twitched on the ground.
The third-level one was still trying to struggle and run away, and even jumped on Shu Lingyi in a panic.
Other pheasants rushed over and ate the fleas.
"Oh! You were chasing my dad and the little sheep because of fleas, right?"
Fleas only parasitize on mammals, usually cats and dogs, but tigers and lions may also have them.
I wonder if the changes in insects during this solar term will lead to changes in this aspect.
Now Shu Lingyi is worried that Tian Zhu also has fleas, right? Then Yue Xue must not be any better!
After a while, Jiang Wang brought Tian Zhu Yuexue and a few lambs.
Shu Lingyi had already checked the pheasants, fearing that they might also be parasitized.
But the good news is that there is not a single flea on the pheasant. The emotional message conveyed by the wife cake is probably: How dare they jump in front of me?
I'll eat them with my meal later!
Shu Ling raised his eyebrows - yes, if fleas run near the pheasants, they will become their food, right? !
"I feel like it's best to give the sheep a bath. Tianzhu Yuexue also wants one, so I won't go to the river so quickly."
Shu Ling thought about it and declined the appointment with Zhong Qing to go to the riverside this morning. The most urgent thing now was to eliminate the fleas.
The survival guide states that wounds left by blood-sucking fleas are more difficult to heal and are even more difficult to scratch than wounds caused by mosquito bites.
Fleas are harder to deal with than mosquitoes. If you scratch them too much or too hard, your skin will break and bleed...
So Shu Lingyi was about to send a message to Zhong Qingwei: "Well, I have something urgent to do, so I can't go. Maybe in the afternoon."
Zhong Qingwei, who was fully prepared, was caught off guard.
【So Redundant】: "What's wrong? Did anything happen?"
[Yi Ling]: "My sheep have fleas. I need to give them a bath and get rid of the fleas."
Shu Lingyi finally discovered that some level 3 fleas have some resistance to chloranthaceae.
Relying on the thick wool to resist, it simply stayed on the lamb's body and refused to move. It was impossible to get it off without a bath.
Zhong Qing did not see the message sent by Shu Lingyi, and hurriedly looked at the lambs he raised. He randomly grabbed one and pulled apart the wool. Sure enough, there were fleas moving around in the wool.
[So Redundant]: "My lambs also have fleas. I'll bring them to you."
He showed a trace of worry on his face, but he knew clearly in his mind - since Comrade Yi Ling couldn't come, he would have to go.
And bring all the sheep with you, no one can be left behind!
Let Eleven take the lead and lead the other five lambs towards Shu Lingyi.
[Yi Ling]: "That's fine. My dad is very good at removing insects and bathing. It's not a problem for him to help you."
Shu Lingyi agreed readily and went into the house to boil water in a pot, and then add some purified cold water.
I also went to other players to buy a few large wooden barrels, which I will use to bathe the sheep later.
Lumine grass and floral water are indispensable. A part of the Lumine grass is placed aside for fumigation, and a part of it is crushed and mixed into water, and then some floral water is added.
"Unfortunately, floral water is not that effective against fleas. You still need a special flea medicine."
"I feel like there are more bugs than usual during this solar term... It's really a headache."
Shu Lingyi bathed the lambs under Jiang Wang's guidance. Even Luo Zhiqing thought it was fun and came out to help.
She was also kind enough to tell Mary to pay attention to whether Shanyue had fleas.
When Mary checked, she found that it was true. She even complained that she still got a blister after applying the floral water today.
Upon learning that Shu Lingyi was bathing and deworming the pet, he rushed over with Shanyue without saying a word.
Jiang Wang was responsible for giving Yuexue a bath. After all, her pregnancy was a special situation, and he was afraid that Shu Ling might not be careful enough and affect Yuexue.
Shu Lingyi washed the lambs first. Among all the lambs, only Marshmallow had the fewest fleas on his body, but there were quite a few flea eggs.
I felt strange at first, but then I thought about how Marshmallow's defense was so high that fleas at level three or below couldn't suck blood from it.
It is even possible that the flea itself will suffer the consequences after taking a bite.
In the end, many frustrated female fleas laid eggs directly on the marshmallows.
"This egg is more difficult to deal with...just brush it more."
By the time Zhong Qingwei and Shan Yue arrived, all five lambs had been washed, leaving only the insect eggs on Marshmallow which were a bit troublesome.
After washing, the lamb smelled of grass and toilet water. If the wool did not still look snow-white, everyone would have thought that the wool had changed color.
Although the fleas that fell into the water were motionless, they were not dead yet. Shu Lingyi chose to strangle them to death one by one.
It is better not to feed food soaked in floral water to pheasants. Moreover, after the flea monster dies, crystals will be decomposed into crystals, and nothing else.
"Of course I feel a little bit of a loss."
Before Zhong Qing came closer, Shu Ling used amine to fumigate the lambs, and the first ones that fell were fed to the pheasants.
Mary followed suit.
"Comrade Zhong, there are two large buckets here. Put them in and wet them first. Put safflower and floral water in the water."
After some general instructions, Zhong Qingwei nodded and started the huge task of washing the sheep.
Four people were very busy. They worked for almost four hours and killed more than two thousand fleas. There were even more insect eggs attached to the wool and cow hair!
"Finally I've finished washing it. It shouldn't be so easy to get fleas after washing it, right?"
Mary was exhausted. After giving Shanyue a bath to kill all the fleas for more than three hours, her hands were numb from exhaustion.
"Well, it should have a short-term effect, but if it's not a targeted drug, it probably won't last for many days."
"Especially as time goes by, these insects may mutate at any time according to the solar terms, which makes it even more difficult to say."
Shu Lingyi gave everyone two pieces of dried mango and asked them to eat them to fill their stomachs.
Seeing that it was almost noon, she prepared to cook something to eat, and then go to the river with Zhong Qingwei to check on the situation.
"So the best is like the Equinox, with insecticide, right?"
Luo Zhiqing nibbled on a piece of dried mango, and Shu Ling nodded: "Logically speaking, everything will be fine if there is pesticide, but it is not ruled out that the pesticide of this solar term is also dispersed."
“Dispersibility?”
Everyone was puzzled and expressed their doubts in unison.
"Oh, the herbicides used to be uniform. No matter what kind of grass it was, it would be gone after one spray. And the insecticides were scattered. The flea killer killed fleas, and the mosquito killer killed mosquitoes."
After Shu Lingyi explained this, everyone understood. Jiang Wang shook his head helplessly: "It's not impossible, but so far I haven't seen anyone selling pesticides."
"Indeed, there is no movement on the public screen, and there is no sign of the trading center either."
"No, the treasure chest I asked Qingqing to open last time contained the pesticide blueprint!"
Shu Ling's eyes lit up. When it came to relying on luck to read metaphysics like this, Luo Zhiqing was undoubtedly the biggest cheating weapon.
"As expected, Qingqing is my great treasure, hehe!"
Shu Ling smiled with her eyes curved and opened her arms to hug Luo Zhiqing. Luo Zhiqing also cooperated and gave her a big bear hug in return.
Mary thought this was funny: "As expected of a big boss, he can have whatever he wants!"
Seeing Mary taking credit for himself, Shu Lingyi spoke up immediately.
“Leak, leak, leak!”
She raised her index finger and waved it to seriously correct Mary's words: "It's my Koi sister, she is the best!"
"This is a tough guy with a luck value of 68!"
Several people were in a daze for a moment, and only Jiang Wang's reaction was the calmest.
Although other people had heard Luo Zhiqing mention it on the public screen during previous solar terms.
But the shock on the public screen was not as unbelievable as seeing a live koi.
“This is too amazing!”
In addition to being shocked, everyone also talked about their luck values. Then they took a look and found that Shu Lingyi had the lowest luck value in the audience.
“Hahaha, Boss Yi Ling didn’t expect you to be the one with the darkest face!”
"Come to think of it, my luck has increased since I came to the territory."
Mary laughed without hesitation. Shu Lingyi looked hopeless and said, "Stop talking. If it weren't for the blessing from the territory, I would only have 4 points of luck."
"My luck has also increased, which is a benefit of being a resident."
Zhong Qingwei already knew about this, but he remained calm. Just when the atmosphere was just right, Zhong Qingwei's stomach suddenly made a sound...
“Gurgle gurgle~”
"Hahahaha, Comrade Zhong, please bear with me while I go get something to eat. Hahahaha!"
Shu Ling couldn't help laughing, and ran into the house. Then he turned his back to the crowd and ran while laughing wildly, completely losing his image.
Shu Lingyi was in a very good mood today, and he even took out a very special aquatic monster that he killed last solar term.
It is an animal that is almost extinct on Blue Star, and its skin and meat can be used to make delicious food.
The taste is so good!
The process was a bit troublesome, but fortunately she was well prepared and had quietly prepared it two days in advance.
The weather was too bad in the late period of Grain Rain, and there was no use eating the monster after killing it. She had already sold the level 3 one, and kept the remaining two level 4 ones.
Currently, the meat of these level four monsters is all that is left in her warehouse, and any portion of it would be considered a luxury on Blue Star.
Shu Lingyi prepared the food happily, and then called everyone to come and taste it together.
It only took half an hour to eat and drink, and Qi Xuanze, who was wandering around the territory, also got some food.
Su Ranran was on her way. According to the safe route given by Shu Lingyi, it would take her about five days to arrive.
This is because too many players died at the end of Grain Rain. For example, at the end of Spring Equinox, it took Jiang Wang seven days to get to Shu Lingyi!
Five days is already a shortened journey.
After finishing this, Shu Ling drank some water, took a short rest, and reorganized the things he wanted to take with him in his portable space.
The importance of chlorpyrifos and floral water has been increased again.
"Comrade Zhong, let's go."
Zhong Qingwei nodded slightly, stood up and glanced at his group of lambs, although these guys were mixed with Shu Lingyi's lambs.
Except for the three lambs with pet contracts, the other nine lambs look similar, or almost exactly the same.
"Uh, do you recognize this?"
Shu Lingyi saw that they were having a lot of fun, but he had no intention of going back with Zhong Qingwei.
"Don't panic."
Zhong Qingwei was very calm, then walked to the flock of sheep and stood straight: "Stand at attention!"
In the originally messy flock of sheep, six sheep suddenly stood next to Zhong Qingwei and stood in a row very obediently.
Shu Lingyi had seen this scene once before. It was very funny last time, and it was still very funny this time.
"Puchi!" Shu Ling covered his mouth and quickly walked out the door.
The other three people in the room saw this situation for the first time. Mary, Luo Zhiqing and Jiang Wang all looked confused.
Zhong Qing did not smile at them, but shouted loudly: "Turn left! March in step!"
"Mee!"
The lambs all followed Zhong Qingwei and walked out the door in unison.
Even the other lambs were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They stood there motionless, staring with their round eyes at the backs of the lambs as they walked away.
It was not until Zhong Qingwei walked out, and even walked away with Shu Lingyi, that the three people in the room could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
"I really can't help this." Luo Zhiqing almost laughed out loud.
