Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 381 Chapter 380, Come with me and find some good stuff!

The morning in Liangjia Village is busy. The children are busy, the adults are busy, and the guerrilla fighters are also busy.

It was May, and the winter wheat was growing well. It was not far from harvest, and everyone was full of hope. The sweet potatoes planted in the spring had grown, and the tender sweet potato leaves could be picked and eaten as vegetables. Of course, there were leeks, celery, Chinese cabbage, and all kinds of vegetables in the fields, and the sweet potato leaves were just a seasoning.

As the warm wind blows, the village is filled with the fragrance of acacia flowers! Looking up, the branches of the acacia trees are already full of clusters of white flowers. Yes, this is the best time for acacia flowers to bloom, which is fatal to the children!
Then, long poles appeared in the children's hands. The poles were very long, with hooks tied on the top. This was the tool for picking acacia flowers.

As for tools, simple and practical ones are the best. The children used such simple tools to deal with the acacia flowers on the treetops. The children with superb skills only needed to hook the iron hook on the top of the pole to the branch with the densest acacia flowers. With just a slight turn, they could snap the entire branch with a click.

Then, dozens of bunches of locust flowers will slowly fall to the ground from the branches, and the children will happily pick them up in their hands, pluck them one by one and put them in a winnowing basket.

When the winnowing baskets were filled with white and green locust flowers, the children happily sent the flowers to the guerrillas' kitchen to receive praise from the comrades in the kitchen. Of course, praise alone was not enough. A locust flower cake steamed with a mixture of locust flowers, cornmeal, and flour was the best reward for the children!

The locust flower cake has a strong aroma and can keep you full for a while. The children love it! Of course, the soldiers also like the taste of locust flower cake, which is much better than the hard-to-chew corn burrito.

The first company of the guerrillas returned, the special forces also returned, and even the first company of the guerrillas and the second company completed the rotation of defense. Nothing else happened in the entire guerrilla control area. So everything now is spent in peace and stability, just like all things that are flourishing, in the silence, it reveals vitality and hope.

This morning, Li Yuexuan did not inspect the training or production as usual, but led the special service team, Cai Xiaotian, and various equipment out of the village. However, looking at the route they took, they did not follow the path of the village, but seemed to be following something.

Buzz, buzz, buzz… In the air, bees with pollen baskets full of pollen were flying in groups, not noticing that someone was following them. In particular, one of the bees had a cotton thread tied to its body, and a colorful bird feather was tied to the bottom of the cotton thread.

That’s right, this cotton thread was tied by Li Yuexuan and his men. Its purpose was naturally to serve as a signal beacon to facilitate tracking of the traces of bees.

"Captain, can we really dig up honey?" Cai Xiaotian asked cautiously in the team.

"Come with me, I will definitely find you something good! I was so busy last year that I forgot about it. The day before yesterday, I saw bees on the tree, and then I remembered that there are many wild beehives in the wild. We can go and collect honey!" Li Yuexuan's tone was very firm, but he was also unsure. That's right, he had just recently found a book about beekeeping from the huge library of APP.

So, he decisively followed the records in the book and based on his own experience of visiting his grandmother's house to see people raising bees when he was a child, he chose to take people to dig for honey.

Honey, that's a good thing, it's a rare good thing both now and in the future! Especially, in this era without pesticide residue pollution, the beautiful natural environment has bred a large number of nectar plants, and wild bee colonies are absolutely indispensable! Well, I dare not think of anything else, but I can still think of digging thousands of kilograms of honey by searching the mountains in the base. What can honey do? Honey can do a lot of things! Can it replenish sugar for the wounded? Can it be added to fried noodles to increase sugar? Can the beeswax be handed over to the arsenal for lost wax casting...

Action is the first step! After preparing tools such as wooden barrels, shovels, pickaxes, bee-proof hats, rubber gloves, etc., Li Yuexuan led his team on a honey-hunting trip.

Buzz, buzz, buzz… There were many bees flying in the air, about a hundred of them, forming a bee trail in the air. Following this bee trail, Li Yuexuan and his companions left the village, crossed the Dongla River, and came to the foot of the mountain east of the village. Finally, they saw the swarm of bees landed behind a thorn bush and soon disappeared.

"Hey, we found it, it's over there! Prepare hay and clean water, let's go find the beehive! By the way, put on your hat and scarf, leaving only your eyes exposed. Also, put on your gloves. The white gloves worn by the Japanese officers may not be used for other purposes, but they should be able to block the stingers of the bees." Li Yuexuan gave an order, and then he bypassed the thorn bush and appeared at the location of the beehive.

Obviously, this beehive is buried in the soil, so this kind of bee is also called native bee. It is said that native bees are a kind of bee native to our country, and they have strong adaptability to the environment, but they are a little smaller in size, produce less honey, and do not have much ability to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies.

Of course, these are not the issues that Li Yuexuan should think about now. He just wants to dig out the beehive as soon as possible, take the honey away, and also take the queen bee away to raise it.

After finding the hole where the bees entered and exited, Li Yuexuan even opened the auxiliary panel and finally determined the depth and size of the hive. In the past, this auxiliary panel did not mark the hive, until he thought about digging for honey, it came into play at this time. Of course, this is not important, the important thing is to start digging quickly.

He cut off the thorn bushes that were in the way, leaving only the brambles around him. He picked out the thorny branches and threw them far away. Then Li Yuexuan carefully pushed away the weeds and swung the hoe to start digging.

After digging a few times, the soil shook. The bees in the hive knew that they were attacked, so they bravely flew out of the hive and surrounded Li Yuexuan, the "invader".

However, Li Yuexuan was fully equipped with equipment and his defense value was extremely high, leaving the bees with nowhere to attack. They could only watch helplessly as the soil layer protecting their "house" was dug up. When the stones outside the "house" were lifted away, their "house" was exposed in broad daylight.

"Are you all here to watch the fun? Light a fire, make some smoke, and fumigate me. Can't you see that I'm covered with bees?" Finally, the bees heard the voice of the invader, but they didn't know what it meant.

But soon, the invaders lit a small brazier and covered it with grass to produce thick smoke... Well, the bees finally behaved.
