Immortality, but people in primitive society

Chapter 42 A good way to kill insects

Under the light of the fire, you can clearly see many insects crawling on the grass during the day!

It is light green, as thin as a hair, and looks especially like a green leech!

Is this, a green iron nematode?

During the day, I suddenly felt goosebumps all over my body and a chill in my heart. These bugs look so scary.

What's even more strange is that they are crawling in the same direction, so densely packed that at first glance they look like a big green snake.

No wonder there is a rustling sound!

Kamu and Chief Pingshan also came over. Kamu asked curiously, "Brother Bai Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

Bai Tian swallowed and stepped back cautiously: "The grass that cattle and sheep eat has bugs in it."

"What are bugs?" Kamu was confused.

It’s impossible to explain to them during the day. In their perception, animals are cows, sheep and birds, and they ignore insects and the like.

He let them leave during the day, and he carefully observed the insects with a torch, trying to see where they would crawl to.

If you don't look closely, it really looks like a green snake wriggling. And after crawling out of the cowshed, it quickly blends in with the grass and is not visible at all.

After leaving the cowshed, Bai Tian's eyes lit up and he said, "Chief Pingshan, go catch a rabbit, quickly."

Chief Pingshan didn't ask why and quickly ran to catch a rabbit.

During the day, the rabbit's hands and feet were twisted off and placed in front of a crawling insect. However, the insect did not climb onto the rabbit, but instead went around it.

Could it be that these insects have nothing to do with the death of cattle and sheep?

During the day, he stabbed the rabbit again, letting it bleed, and then continued to block the insects. This time, the insects crawled onto the rabbit and entered the rabbit's body through the wound.

These bugs are actually blood-loving!

After a while, Bai Tian discovered that the rabbit was dead and its stomach began to swell slowly.

These bugs are indeed the culprit!

Without waiting for the rabbit's stomach to completely turn into a balloon, Bai Tian cut the rabbit open with a bone dagger and carefully examined the rabbit meat.

Sure enough, green worms were found in the blood vessels, but they had turned flesh-colored!

What's even more frightening is that when the meat is roasted over a fire during the day, the bugs don't die until the meat is completely burnt.

This bug is so fucking scary!

During the day, Kamu and the others searched around the cowshed, and all night long, we found a lot of insects. They were not only found in the Pingshan tribe, but also in the Lairi tribe.

It can be said that the two tribes are surrounded by these horrible color-changing insects!

Fortunately, people nowadays rarely eat green plants, otherwise, there would have been large-scale deaths!

The more he thought about it during the day, the more terrifying it became. He suddenly understood why the primitive people here had to eat meat. Even plants could produce such horrible insects, so eating meat was cleaner.

This insect cannot be killed by fire and is not afraid of water. What should we do with it?

He thought all day and all night, but couldn't figure out how to deal with the bugs. Making a medicine was obviously out of the question; with his medical background, it was impossible for him to make an insecticide in such a short time.

Do I really have to move away?

To be honest, I really can't accept it during the day!

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn. When daytime came out of the cowshed, he found Kamu and Chief Pingshan sleeping beside the fire.

He didn't wake them during the day, but squatted beside the dying fire, gathering the ashes with a stick. The autumn morning was a little chilly, and he wanted to keep warm.

Inadvertently, the wooden stick hit a stone during the day, and the stone broke.

Because it had been burned for too long, the stone had been burned through and was white inside.

At first, Bai Tian didn't care and picked up the stone and put it in the wood ash. But soon he remembered something and took the stone out again with a startled heart.

White, quicklime?!

The rocks around here are indeed a bit like granite, very hard. They might actually be quicklime, burned!

After the stone cooled down, I took a piece during the day, found some water, and threw the stone into the water.

zizi...

It really is quicklime!

This made Zhou Tian excited, because he clearly remembered that lime had a strong insecticide effect. In rural areas, lime was often used to kill insects.

Moreover, quicklime will generate a lot of heat when it comes into contact with water, which is enough to kill those green bugs.

In order to confirm the effectiveness of quicklime, I found another piece of quicklime during the day, crushed it, and sprinkled it on the green worms.

What surprised Bai Tian was that the green worms were actually afraid of quicklime. When quicklime was sprinkled on them, the green worms immediately twisted and struggled in pain and died soon after.

Quicklime works!

So, during the day, they called up Chief Pingshan and Kamu, and quickly gathered people to burn stones!

Of course, they didn’t throw it directly into the firewood. Instead, they built a simple brick kiln, put the stones on top, and burned firewood underneath.

In his previous life, he lived in the countryside and played burning stones when he was a child, so he was very familiar with these things.

The rocks on the nearby mountains are very hard. I can't tell whether they are granite during the day, but they burn very well...

For the next two days, the two tribes were very busy. Some went hunting in the mountains, while the rest stayed in the tribe and burned stones together during the day.

Although many people don't understand why the stones are burned, they rarely complain. This is what they like most during the day. Primitive people don't like to talk too much and just get things done.

Two days later, both tribes were covered with white quicklime inside and out.

I can breathe a sigh of relief during the day. Quicklime not only kills green worms but also disinfects. Although it doesn't smell good, it helps people live longer!

Chief Pingshan was unsure and whispered, "Brother Bai Tian, ​​can this really solve the problem?"

Bai Tian nodded affirmatively: "Yes! Chief, don't worry, our tribe will not have these troubles for a long time. But our current problem is that we have to hunt and raise cattle and sheep again."

"But cattle need to eat grass. What if there are still insects in the grass outside?" Chief Pingshan was worried.

Bai Tian smiled and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago. Chief, this time we are going to do something big."

"These days, we hunt during the day and build a cattle shed when we come back at night. There's also another big thing to do: growing grass."

"Planting grass?" Chief Pingshan was confused.

Bai Tian nodded. "Yes, plant grass. Plant grass where we've sprinkled the stone powder. The grass that grows that way is not only bug-free, but also grows better. Also, the grass sprinkled with stone powder won't die immediately. Cows can still eat it, but it just needs to be washed clean."

"Chief, if we grow enough grass, can we raise more cattle and sheep? Then, won't we need to take risks hunting?"

I thought about it during the day. Although we can't directly enter the agricultural civilization now, we can have a transition period.

Let's plant grass and raise animals first. Maybe in the future, people here won't have to eat humans anymore and can enter a true farming era...
