When we arrived near this huge courtyard surrounded by wooden fences, we hid behind him.
Vague memories emerge in my mind.
It seemed that every time he came around here, the green caterpillars would take him away.
Could it be that his green caterpillar came from here and has bad memories here?
Mark looked at the green caterpillar and said, "Have you ever lived here?"
"Hiss."
The green caterpillar shook his head.
It seemed that with Mark and Old Man Qian nearby, the green caterpillar's timidity subsided a little, and it gradually approached the wooden fence, looking at the green caterpillar inside with confusion and curiosity.
Just simply not used to getting along with the same kind?
Mark observed the performance of the green caterpillar thoughtfully.
Without letting Mark think too much, the village chief, Old Man Qian, introduced: "There are two main industries in Qingxi Village, one of which is the tomato garden in the north of the village, and the other is silk weaving that every household does.
The green caterpillars raised here are the main source of silk thread used in silk."
As Old Man Qian spoke, he opened the door of the green caterpillar breeding base.
Previously, it was difficult to see clearly due to the wooden fence.
When he opened the door, Mark saw hundreds of green caterpillars moving in the grass at the front of the courtyard.
A breeder happened to be pushing a small cart of feed out of the warehouse. The green caterpillars seemed to have received the signal and quickly gathered towards the breeder.
Breeder Lin Erniu noticed that Old Man Qian actively waved: "Village Chief, you are here!"
"Nothing to do, I just brought this guy Mark here for a visit, you can do your job!"
Old Man Qian responded casually, without explaining to Lin Erniu that Mark had become enlightened, and took Mark to the rear area of the breeding base.
During the walk, the green caterpillar's timidity further improved.
Not only does it gradually approach the green caterpillars nearby, but it will occasionally hiss at the green caterpillars here, but it never dares to touch the same kind. Whenever a similar kind approaches, it will panic and retreat for a distance.<
/p>
Soon, as he passed a row of wooden houses, Mark saw a room of green caterpillars that looked like a honeycomb.
It seems that they are eating better. The green caterpillars in these honeycomb grid rooms are slightly bloated and are constantly spitting out silk threads.
On the other side of the honeycomb wooden house, countless silk threads were soaked in the pool. Mark smelled an alkali smell, and it seemed that a certain process of reeling was going on, soaking the silk threads in alkaline water.
Old Man Qian explained: "As you can see, this is the process of green caterpillars producing silk thread.
The green caterpillar is an elf that is very easy to grow and evolve. Generally speaking, as long as it is fed for several days, the green caterpillar can spin out silk threads at a high frequency.
If it can maintain a full state for about a month, the green caterpillar will naturally evolve into an armored pupa.
Then continue to wait for about a month, and they will evolve into Bada butterflies.
The climate near Qingxi Forest is very cold in winter. The butterflies will fly to Yunrui Province in the south to mate and reproduce in the sea of flowers in the Wufang Mountains. Then they will bloom in the spring of the second or third year.
Return to your hometown to give birth to offspring.
Every spring, some butterflies will fly back here to lay elf eggs. At the same time, we will also control the food intake and keep some green caterpillars from evolving and stay for the winter.
However, the quality of the silk threads spun out by this kind of raised green caterpillars is generally poorer, and the price is lower.
Therefore, in order to obtain high-quality silk thread, children in the village often use insect nets to catch wild green caterpillars.
You see this part of the area is where the wild green caterpillars were caught by the children in the village. The silk threads they spin out are not only tough, but after being soaked in alkaline water, the silk spun out is also softer."
Mark followed the direction of the village chief's finger and saw another batch of green caterpillars.
These green caterpillars don’t look significantly different from the previous ones, but they are all a bit bloated due to full food.
The only difference is that these green caterpillars look more agile.
Mark looked at his green caterpillar, and he also felt this agility from his green caterpillar.
As the village elder continued to advance and walked out of the green caterpillar's honeycomb wooden house, Mark saw neatly placed armored pupae, thousands of them.
Mark's green caterpillar seemed to see so many armored pupae for the first time, and his eyes were full of shock.
In fact, it’s not just Mark’s green caterpillar, but Mark himself too.
Old Man Qian touched an armored pupa next to him and said: "If you want to make money, my advice to you is to go to the forest to catch wild green caterpillars. Depending on the shape and condition of the green caterpillars, each wild green caterpillar will
Caterpillars can be exchanged for 35 to 100 yuan.
Usually, after raising wild green caterpillars for two to three weeks, the quality of the silk threads they spit out will drop significantly. If you continue to raise them for one or two weeks, these green caterpillars will evolve into armored pupae if they are continuously full. In fact, catching wild green caterpillars in the forest is also helping them.
Bird elves are the natural enemies of insect elves. The green caterpillars in Qingxi Forest are always threatened by bird elves such as Bobo and Spearow, and are also harassed by Arbor snakes.
If you bring the green caterpillars here, they will have a slightly harder time spinning silk, but almost all of them will be able to evolve smoothly."
Mark thought thoughtfully: "The quality of silk threads has declined when wild green caterpillars are caught and fed here. Is it a problem with the feed? If the green caterpillars are fed with their usual food, will the quality of silk threads not be reduced?" p>
Old Man Qian smiled and shook his head: "You are not the first to think so. In fact, if you feed green caterpillars their usual food, the quality of their silk threads will decline in less than two weeks, and they might as well eat us.
The quality of the prepared feed and silk thread can be maintained for nearly three weeks.
How about it, do you want to take this job?"
"Okay."
Mark agreed immediately without thinking too much.
No matter what, earning coins is necessary.
After some thought, Mark decided to take the green caterpillars to practice hitting in the forest during the day to gain experience, while looking for wild green caterpillars to capture.
Then when Mark was thinking further, the cry of a green caterpillar interrupted Mark's thoughts.
"Hiss!"
The green caterpillar discovered something and moved to an armored pupa.
Mark walked over and said, "Are you saying that this armored pupa is in pain?"
The green caterpillar nodded repeatedly, but quickly shook his head.
It doesn't quite know what happened to this armored pupa.
At this moment, a shattering sound appeared.
There were cracks in the carapace of the armored pupa, and a white butterfly emerged from the pupa. Its wings were wrinkled at first, but they soon unfolded.
And this is just the beginning.
The sound of shattering appeared one after another, and one after another, the big butterflies emerged from their pupae. They stretched their wings and danced in the air before long.
The green caterpillar looked at the scene in front of him and his eyes widened.
The butterflies flying in the air look extremely happy and happy, and they are very beautiful!
Will it turn into such a butterfly in the future?
The green caterpillar froze in place. It couldn't describe the emotions pouring out of its heart at this time. It just felt that its mind was in a mess, and at the same time it had an urge to evolve and become a butterfly. p>
It seems...it can also evolve.
"Don't be affected by the evolution of these armored pupae. Do you still remember what I said to you this morning?"
Mark's words brought the green caterpillar back to reality.
The green caterpillar remembered what Mark said to it this morning, and at the same time, it recalled the more than three years of dream-like impact training.
"Hiss!"
Mark rubbed the green caterpillar's head and said: "Yes, we have to lay a good foundation now. Only when the foundation is perfect can we evolve!"
Old Man Qian showed a teachable expression and said: "That's right. The more solid the elf is before evolving, the stronger it will be after evolving. Green Caterpillar, if you want to become stronger, you must do it before evolving.
We have to make the foundation solid!"
"Hiss!"
The green caterpillar posed in a striving pose, looking high-spirited!
"Village Chief, if that's the case, then I and the green caterpillar will go to the forest to catch wild green caterpillars!"
"Be careful along the way. I happen to be going to visit Lin Tong's house, so I won't send you to the forest. Every insect-catching boy has different catching skills. It's up to you how to catch the green caterpillars! By the way, if you encounter suspicious people in the forest, you should pay special attention. People from the Thunder Group are likely to appear in Qingxi Forest recently. If you encounter them, try to run away. If you find something is wrong, come back and report to me as soon as possible."<
/p>
"Yeah."
After saying hello to the village elder, Mark left with the green caterpillar breeding base and headed west to Qingxi Forest.
In the sky, thousands of giant butterflies circled and flew south. The scene was very spectacular. Mark looked up and then took the green caterpillars into the forest without looking back.
Catching wild green caterpillars to make money will obviously delay some training time and slow down the progress of gaining experience, so he should seize the time to gain experience with the green caterpillars...
