Crossing the Stars: My Major General Husband and I Are Evenly Matched

Chapter 37: Eaters have short mouths, but takers have short hands

Although the shell insects are easy to catch now, they will break out of the ground one by one when it gets dark, and climb up the nearby trees as if no one is around. When you shine a light on them, you will find the round shell insects.

But this is all thanks to Song Yanyu. If she hadn't come to the woods, she wouldn't have discovered so many reptile shells here. If she hadn't stayed here, they wouldn't have seen so many live reptiles after dark.

That’s right, even at this moment, Wen Lan just thought that this was a good thing that Song Yanyu had discovered by accident.

After all, the strength is there, and the rest is just good luck.

But no matter which one it is, Wen Lan will no longer treat Song Yanyu as an insignificant person.

When Wen Lan heard that Song Yanyu was the major general's fiancée, he had already read Song Yanyu's information.

Song Yanyu's identity, background, and abilities were no secrets. Wen Lan hadn't put in any effort himself, but he had already gotten a good idea of Song Yanyu's basic situation just from what others had said.

Originally, he was speaking up for his major general, who was an S+ psychic with a bright future. However, his fiancée, Song Yanyu, was just a gifted person who had just awakened the wood-type psychic ability. She was not even as good as Xue Jiaojiao. They definitely did not have a good impression of Song Yanyu.

If Jing Xiao hadn't protected her closely and cared about her, I'm afraid that when Song Yanyu and the others met for the first time, the captains wouldn't even look at her.

But from yesterday to today, Song Yanyu has been giving them surprises and constantly finding good things, and there are still a lot of these good things. They are grateful for what they have received, and they will not show their displeasure to others even if they look down on them.

Wen Lan really didn't expect that there would be so many live reptiles here. The small bucket he brought was not enough to hold them.

Even though there were only a dozen people catching live creeping insects under the tree, in less than half an hour, the small buckets in their hands were full. However, they had only explored half of the woods, and there was still half an area that had not been searched, not to mention that many of them appeared scattered on the big trees that had already been searched.

"Wen Lan, go back and get all the big basins for washing vegetables from the kitchen." Jing Xiao had also been paying attention to this matter. The more he looked at it, the more uneasy he felt.

This is like disturbing the nest of creeping insects.

Everyone wants good things, and no one wants to give up, even though they are so busy that they haven't had a single bite to eat.

This is when food nutrients come into play.

At noon, everyone was busy digging medicinal plants and had no chance to rest, let alone eat. Each person was given a nutritional supplement to solve the lunch problem.

Everyone was very excited at first because they had made a great harvest today and could have a big dinner in the evening. But who would have thought that they would receive such a big surprise as it was getting dark.

What can I do? Just keep working hard.

You can't just let go of something that is right in front of you.

"Jing Xiao, I want to tell you something." Song Yanyu just saw someone going back to catch the creeping insects that had just broken out of the ground, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

She wanted to stop it, but she felt she was not in a position to do so.

But if she kept it in her heart and didn't say it out loud, she couldn't get over it.

Finally, Song Yanyu made up her mind to come and find Jing Xiao.

"What's wrong? Are you too tired? Otherwise, let your uncle take you and aunt back to the base, or I will take you back." Jing Xiao looked at Song Yanyu's tired face and tangled expression, thinking that she was tired but was embarrassed to bring it up.

Song Yanyu shook her head. "No, it's not your reason. I just saw a few soldiers going back to catch those creeping insects that broke through the soil. I don't think that's a good idea."

After all, the shell insects need to continue to reproduce. We can't catch them all at once. We have to leave some behind so that they can continue to reproduce, right? "

Jing Xiao couldn't help but laugh. This woman considered everything in detail.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Jing Xiao not saying anything but still smiling, Song Yanyu suddenly became a little angry and said in a coquettish tone.

"No, no, I just think you're thinking long-term, and that's absolutely right. I admire you."

Jing Xiao did not tell Song Yanyu the truth.

Shell insects will not be caught and exterminated by them. Not to mention that shell insects have to grow underground for three to seven years before emerging from the ground, an adult shell insect can lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs in one breeding season.

They have just reached their destination.

But what Song Yanyu said was quite right. It was getting late, so they should finish their search quickly and call it a day.

The time it takes for a creeping insect to shed its shell is also uncertain, so you can't throw away the watermelon just to pick up sesame seeds.

After Jing Xiao agreed to Song Yanyu's request, he went over and explained everything to the soldiers who had caught the living reptiles.

Just at this time, Wen Lan also brought all the things over.

They were all busy and didn't finish sweeping the entire forest until late at night.

It was dark and everyone was moving very fast, so there must be quite a few who had slipped through the net. Jing Xiao waved his hand and asked everyone to gather back to the base. As for the rest, he would let the people in the family compound come and look for them tomorrow.

Since it is a mission, they must all gain something so that they can have a good winter.

Since Song Yanyu was born, she has never been so busy.

If there weren't good stuff hanging ahead and so many people accompanying her, Song Yanyu would have quit long ago.

So when she heard that it was time to go home after work, she was so happy.

When they finally arrived at the camp, Song Yanyu could hardly open his eyes, and he had to rely on Sun Piaopiao to walk without swaying.

Jing Xiao and the others still had to deal with the reptiles they had caught, so Song Yanyu followed Sun Piaopiao and prepared to go back to rest.

Bugugou, at least Song Yanyu still remembered the most important thing.

Turning around, he saw Jing Xiao's back disappearing from view, and quickly called out, "Jing Xiao, Jing Xiao."

Jing Xiao, who was standing in front, had sharp ears and eyes, and obviously heard Song Yanyu's shout. He strode over and said, "What's wrong? I see you're very sleepy. Go back and wash up and go to bed."

Jing Xiao looked at the messy hair of the woman in front of him. Because of the high climate on Mars, even though their clothes could regulate the temperature, their little faces were still red, and there were two strands of hair clinging to their foreheads. Just looking at it made Jing Xiao's heart soften.

He knew that Song Yanyu had worked hard today. If he didn't go to sleep now, why was he looking for him?

"I saw on Starnet that you can only eat the meat inside a shellworm. Its shell is too hard, isn't it?"

Jing Xiao nodded, this is not a secret, it is public.

"We throw the shellworms into the water to delay their molting. Now that we've caught them all, send a few more people. It's a bit hard work, but it's necessary."

Song Yanyu knew that it was impossible for a reptile to die if it was thrown into water for a short time.

"Pour out all the water in the basin and wait for the shell insects to molt. Pick one out after it molts. If you don't want the shell insects to turn black, put them back in the water after molting, or freeze them directly. This way, you can also get its complete cicada wings."
