Like humans, plants also have their own emotions. Ancient locust trees that have lived for thousands of years have more spirituality than ordinary plants, and their IQ is no lower than that of adults.
Realizing that the two-legged beast in front of him could help him, Gu Huai couldn't wait to tell the reason why he was suffering: "A nest of mice bit my main root and settled in it. The more and more caves they needed were getting bigger and bigger, and they were almost emptying my main root. Please help me and help me!"
"What, it's a mouse?" Mangye was surprised. She guessed in advance that the leaves of the ancient locust tree were due to the root problems. At first, she thought it was a pest such as termites and horn bugs, but she didn't expect it would be a mouse.
Although mice are rodents, they will bite the roots of trees to grind their teeth, and even eat a small amount of trees when they have no food to fill their stomachs, it is extremely rare to settle down in the roots. However, it is not impossible to think about it carefully. Rats like dark and humid places, and places with clear roots can satisfy these two points.
"Yes, it's the mice! They drilled holes elsewhere and drilled into my main root. Fortunately, I could tolerate it at the beginning, but they became more and more greedy and wanted to hollow out more rats to reproduce." Gu Huai said angrily. If it could do it itself, it would have killed the rat family long ago.
Unfortunately, the mouse is too cunning, and it is very skillful in digging holes, and its main root is very tortuous. Even if it rains heavily and rains seeps, it will not drown the mouse. If you continue like this, within half a year, not only will its main root be hollowed out, but the main trunk that is being restored will also suffer. By then, it will not be far from its real death.
Hearing this, Mangye knew it, patted the trunk of the ancient locust tree and said, "How many mice live in your main root? Do you know where the entrances and exits of the mice are? As long as you find all the entrances and exits, I will have a way to help you get rid of them."
Seeing that these two-legged beasts were really willing to help them, Gu Huai cried out in joy and said quickly: "I know, I know everything! There are as many as 100 mice now, and the entrances of the caves are also distributed in various places. I will tell you the location of each entrance."
Then, Gu Huai said the entrances and exits of the rats one by one. The more Mulberry Ye heard it, the more surprised it was. It was not that there were as many as forty or fifty holes that the mouse had made, but that these holes were very hidden. If it weren't for the fine roots and escaping of the ancient Huai, even if he could find all the Fang family mansions with human power, he might not have been able to find them all.
Sang Ye secretly thanked that a group of mice were causing trouble, and she could come up with several ways to kill rats. If it were other pests, she really couldn't guarantee that they would be completely destroyed. After assuring Gu Huai that she would save it, she withdrew her hand and turned around and nodded at Manager Song.
Before Manager Song could speak, Fang He asked first: "I wonder what Mrs. Sang has shown up? Is there a solution?"
There is a difference between men and women. Just now, when Mangye and Guhuai were talking, Fang He stood a little far away. In addition, Mangye's voice was very small. He only knew that Mangye was talking, but he didn't know what Mangye was talking.
When he was communicating with the ancient locust, Fang He had already learned from Manager Song that the disease of the ancient locust is at the root. However, Manager Song could not determine the specific reason, so he asked this question. First, he was really worried about the safety of the ancient locust, and secondly, he also wanted to take the mulberry leaves.
"There are some things that are not yet certain, so we need to discuss with Mr. Song." Sang Ye turned a blind eye to the other party and hidden little thoughts and did not tell the truth.
After all, she brought it to Manager Song. If she told the real reason in one word, not to mention whether Fang He believed it or not, it would be certain to slap Manager Song in the face. She naturally would not do such stupid things that offend people.
However, she also knew that if she didn't show any real skills, not to mention having a relationship with the Fang family today, even her business with Su Xinzhai would be affected. Therefore, her expression told Fang He that she already knew the reason for the withering of the branches and leaves of the ancient locust trees.
Seeing Sang Ye's confident appearance, Fang He believed that she had real skills and said understandingly: "This is more appropriate, Mrs. Sang please give me." As he said that, he took two steps back and asked Sang Ye and Shopkeeper Song to discuss it themselves.
Mang Ye walked to Manager Song and said his "guessment": "The only one who can hurt the ancient locust roots is the rat ants underground. I took a closer look. There were no traces of termites or other borers on the trees and on the ground.
If there is no accident, it should be the mouse that is causing trouble."
There was an accident on Manager Song's face. It was obvious that Sang Ye's answer was different from what he guessed. Just like the previous Sang Ye, he had never thought it would be a mouse: "I wonder how Mrs. Sang decided that it was the mouse? I feel that it was more like a cow horn worm being the cause."
The hornworm is a long-lasting larvae, which is a plant-eating insect, which is extremely harmful to woody plants. The larvae will live in trees and will become pupate and form pores during the growth process. If a large number of long-lasting larvae live in ancient locust trees, it is not impossible to empty the roots of the ancient locust trees.
Mulberry leaves had already thought of the words and explained slowly: "The locust trees are densely made of wood, and ordinary locust trees are unlikely to be struck by lightning. Unless there is a problem at the roots of the ancient locust trees before they are struck by lightning, causing the roots to be unable to absorb nutrients from the soil, resulting in the trunk being loose, and the trunk will be split by lightning."
Seeing that the shopkeeper Song had no objection to his words, Sang Ye asked back: "The ancient locust was hit by lightning before. When Mr. Song was treating it, did there be insects in the trunk?"
Shopkeeper Song was stopped and then slapped his forehead and said ashamedly: "I have been raising flowers and trees for decades, but I never thought I would have ignored this. If my wife hadn't been careful, this ancient locust would have been delayed."
"Song Laoyan is so serious. It was your previous words that made me think a little more." Sang Ye said humbly, not wanting to take up this credit. She could know that the reason was because she was given the special abilities. If she had to rely on her own strength, she would not have thought that the mouse would only think that the lifespan of the ancient locust has ended.
"Madam, don't be humble. Would you still be jealous of you?" Shopkeeper Song smiled and joked, appreciating Sang Ye more and more arrogant.
Next, the old and the young looked around the ancient locust again. After confirming that the ancient locust was indeed harmed by rats, they told Fang He the result.
Fang He was skeptical and hesitated whether to dig up the soil under the roots of the ancient locust tree. The ancient locust tree is the treasure of the Fang family. He was worried that the tree roots would be damaged during the excavation process and that the main roots would be harmed by mice. If the ancient locust tree was not removed in time, he would die because of this.
Sang Ye complained about Fang He's indecisiveness in his heart. Unlike the head of the family, he finally stood up and said his own solution: "Master Fang, you asked someone to find more than a dozen cats and prepare some firewood and dried peppers. I promise that without hurting the roots of the tree, none of these mice can escape!"
-------------------
This chapter has checked a lot of information and has tried its best to match science. The larvae is the natural enemy of trees. As for whether the larvae can harm the ancient locust so badly, it needs factual basis. I cannot be sure, but I have seen a larvae that has bored a tree with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters and then the tree dies.ps: The stupid author cannot be sure that those larvae are larvae, o(╯□╰)o
