Unconsciously, an hour passed, and the candles in the lantern gradually burned out. This time, without waiting for Zhang Yanling to enter the water, Ma Quan, Huang, and two others went down to the paddy field to move the device to the shore. Zhang Yanling was full of expectations for the test results, and the lantern illuminated it.
After the light came on, everyone screamed in surprise. They saw a layer of gray little bugs floating on the water in the wooden basin. There were thousands of them. Some of them had died on the water from the greasy water.
Some of them were still moving and squirming, which gave people goosebumps just looking at them.
"Successful." Zhang Yanling smiled happily.
I was not sure before. Although I knew that flying insects had phototaxis and it was possible to trap and kill them with lights, rice planthoppers were only tiny flying insects after all. Zhang Yanling didn’t even know whether they had eyes or whether they could see light.
.Besides, these little bugs usually hide in the darkness under the seedlings, and I don’t know if light trapping is useful. This situation shows that rice planthoppers, like other flying insects, can be trapped in this way. There is only one
In a matter of hours, only one device was able to trap and kill so many flying insects. On the one hand, it shows that this method is effective, and on the other hand, it shows that the number of pests is actually quite large, and it has reached the point where diagnosis and treatment is necessary.
"Congratulations to the Marquis, the Marquis is really capable. I have never heard of such a method. It is really an eye-opener." Ma Quan laughed loudly. This was not a compliment. Ma Quan had previously been muttering to himself that his Marquis was too whimsical.
This thing can kill insects? Isn't that a joke? But the facts are right in front of him, and Ma Quan has to admit that the Marquis is the Marquis, and he is well-informed, but he is ignorant.
"Congratulations, it really happened. Now the villagers will be extremely happy when they know it. You really have a way." Tan Ruqing also said.
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "It's not worth mentioning."
Tan Ruqing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Ma Quan, tomorrow morning you send someone back to the capital to buy candles. Buy more candles and bring a cart over. In a few days, I want all the rice fields in our manor to be as starry as the night sky. It must be like this
It’s a very beautiful painting.” Zhang Yanling ordered.
Tan Ruqing listened to this and couldn't help but feel fascinated. Yes, when the rice fields are full of lights, the scene will be spectacular and beautiful.
…
The next morning, Zhang Yanling woke up early and felt refreshed. She slept very well last night. Although it was a simple country house and there were even sounds of frogs croaking and insects outside, it did not affect Zhang Yanling's sleep at all.
On the contrary, it is like a lullaby that makes people feel at ease.
After washing and about to leave the room, Tan Ruqing came out of the next door room, followed by her maid Xiaozhu, which surprised Zhang Yanling.
"Why is she here? When did she come?" Zhang Yanling pointed at Xiaozhu and asked.
Xiaozhu glared and ignored Zhang Yanling, but Tan Ruqing explained with a smile. It turned out that after Xiaozhu reported to the Tan family that day that the young lady followed Jianchang Hou out of the city, Mrs. Tan panicked and immediately sent someone to recover her.
Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, was notorious. How could a single woman follow him around? She was asking for trouble.
Tan Yunxian blamed himself very much. Tan Ruqing went home after treating Zhang Yanling that day. Tan Yunxian was shocked when he learned that Tan Ruqing had used bloodletting. This method had never been used in the Tan family.
It must be a method that Ru Qing has figured out by herself. But the problem is that she can guess blindly, but she can't use it on people randomly. If someone bleeds someone, if she is not careful, it will kill someone's life. Asking her to save people, it is not
Go kill people. If you kill someone, or use a method that has never been used by doctors, then you will definitely be responsible, and the Tan family's reputation will be completely ruined by this matter.
Furthermore, after the incident, Divine Doctor Li did not conceal anything and told them that the person being treated was Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, the younger brother of the current queen. Tan Yunxian became even more aware of the seriousness of the problem. She was worried that that kind of therapy would have
I murmured about the sequelae a few times at home. Tan Ruqing might know that it was a serious matter, so after careful consideration, he decided to go to Jianchang Houfu again to see how Zhang Yanling's recovery was. He was determined to make Zhang Yanling completely recover.
Get rid of the relationship. What Tan Yunxian blamed herself was that she was afraid that she had put pressure on Ruqing to some extent, so she decided to go out of the city with Zhang Yanling to take care of his health in case of accidents. If something happened to Ruqing, Tan Yunxian
Xian has decided not to risk his life to seek justice.
The Tan family then chased after them, but Xiaozhu heard something unclear and forgot which manor they were going to. So he asked around and went to several wrong villages along the way, and finally arrived at Xishan Manor in the middle of the night. So Xiaozhu was
We arrived in the middle of the night, when Zhang Yanling was sleeping soundly and had no idea.
"Miss Xiaozhu is here just in time. Miss Ruqing, you'd better go back. My body has recovered and no treatment is needed. Your grandmother will be worried." Zhang Yanling said to Tan Ruqing.
Tan Ruqing shook his head and said: "I haven't finished what I promised you yesterday. I also want to do something to help the folks here. Besides, I have sent the family members who came by car back to report that they are safe. I brought them to my grandmother.
With the oral message, she shouldn’t be in a hurry.”
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Tan, what are you doing? Why do you live in a remote and remote area and suffer the consequences? Besides, if something happens to you, others are not allowed to blame this debt on me, Zhang Yanling? I am already
My reputation has been ruined, but I don’t want to take the blame again. You have also seen that I treat you, Miss Tan, with courtesy, without any offence."
Tan Ruqing pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Master Zhang, I, Tan Ruqing, always keep my promises. Your injury should be healed, but you must do what I promised you. Besides, I also want to see the whole place."
In the starlight scene, why is Mr. Zhang so stingy? Do you think I ate a few of your meals?"
Zhang Yanling laughed and said, "What are you saying? Do I feel bad for Miss Tan even if she eats several meals? Am I that stingy? If Miss Tan is willing, I won't feel bad for eating for the rest of her life."
Tan Ruqing was stunned, then suddenly turned red and turned away. Xiaozhu glared at Zhang Yanling fiercely and followed him to the front yard. Zhang Yanling was a little puzzled and frowned: "Why do these girls have such weird tempers?"
Why did they suddenly fall out in the middle of the excitement? How did I offend them? They are really difficult to take care of."
The maid Xing'er whispered from the side: "Master Hou, you said something wrong. What does it mean to have a life-long meal? Does the Marquis want to marry someone else? Only by marrying someone else can others live in the house of the Marquis for a lifetime.
Miss Tan must have thought that the Marquis was taking advantage of her."
"Ouch!" Zhang Yanling came to her senses and said with a wry smile: "I didn't mean that. Miss Tan must have taken my words as teasing her. I just said it casually. I'll explain it clearly."
Xing'er smiled and said, "What are you explaining? If you still need to explain something like this, isn't it getting darker and darker as you describe it?"
Zhang Yanling thought about it and realized that it was indeed such a thing, so she had no choice but to give up.
After having breakfast, Zhang Yanling took everyone to the north head of the village. Yesterday, the blacksmith Zhao Laoji lived in the north of the village. Because it was a living of iron and the people who disturbed the people, Zhao Laoji's small yard was located in
It was more than a hundred steps away from the village. When Zhang Yanling and others arrived, the sound of tinkering could be heard in the yard, and it seemed that the work was in full swing.
Zhang Yanling stood outside the wall and looked, and saw a charcoal fire burning brightly under the thatched shed in the yard. Two men were sweating profusely and forging iron on the anvil. One of them was Zhao Laoji. Next to him, a girl was pulling a bellows.
Gufeng is none other than Axiu, the girl in the paddy fields yesterday.
Ma Quan was about to shout, but Zhang Yanling waved his hand to stop him, because he saw that the hatchet he was hammering was taking shape. This was a critical time for blacksmithing and should not be disturbed. So everyone stood outside the fence and watched the family inside who was concentrating on the craftsmanship.
That hatchet.
Sledgehammer for plasticity, small hammer for straightening, tempering and quenching.
After the final stabbing and quenching, a black hatchet with a sharp edge and a thick back was finally released.
The young man took a hatchet and slashed at the wooden pile standing aside. With a scraping sound, a corner of the wooden pile was cut off like tofu.
"Good craftsmanship!" Zhang Yanling applauded and praised with a smile.
The three people in the yard turned their heads in surprise when they heard the sound, and then saw a group of people standing outside the fence. Zhao Laoji immediately recognized Zhang Yanling, and hurriedly came forward and saluted with his two dark hands.
"I didn't know my boss is here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Ah Xiu, open the door quickly."
A Xiufei rolled her eyes, reluctantly got up, walked to the door, and opened the courtyard door.
When everyone entered the courtyard, Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Old man, I'm sorry to bother you. I just agreed yesterday to do something together today, so I came here early in the morning to bother you. I'm very sorry."
Zhao Laoji hurriedly said: "Whatever my boss said, I will definitely do what I promised to my boss. Old man, I am about to go see my boss. No, there are a lot of trees and thorns on the mountain road in this area, so I thought of bringing firewood
The knife was used to open roads and make walking easier. Unexpectedly, the hatchet at home was too rusty to be used, so he made a temporary one, which delayed his meeting with the employer. He actually asked the employer to come in person. "
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "That's it."
Zhang Yanling's eyes moved to the young man next to him and asked with a smile: "Who is this one?"
Zhao Laoji said hurriedly: "Oh, this is my son. Yuan Cheng, come and meet my boss."
The young man came forward and saluted with clasped fists. He chuckled and said, "Zhao Yuancheng has met my boss."
Zhang Yanling looked at his strong figure, his exposed arms were muscular, and his whole body was full of strength. He praised: "What a manly man. With this body, I can probably kill a cow with one punch."
Zhao Laoji chuckled and said: "My boss is joking. Yuan Cheng and I can't do it without a hammer. I'm old and can't lift the hammer anymore, so I have to rely on him."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "What I'm saying is that blacksmithing is a laborious job, and you rely on your strength to make a living. I will have a successor."
After a few common words, the distance between the two parties naturally became much closer. In addition, after yesterday's contact, Zhao Laoji had some affection for Zhang Yanling. At this moment, he felt that his boss did not seem so mean and vicious, and his attitude became more cordial. Zhao Yuancheng looked at it
He looked like an honest person, smiling happily at the side. But the girl Axiu didn't seem to buy it, and kept her face on the side.
