Chapter 2763 If ​​There Are Bugs, You Need to Apply Pesticides

"Raise your hand?"

Not only Jiang Yu, but Zheng Qing also looked at the black gem cat in surprise, wondering what it was saying.

The black gem cat replied to the boy with a look of contempt-Zheng Qing suddenly felt a subtle emotion, as if he was looking at a funhouse mirror-the black gem cat explained to Jiang Yu: "I mean, when Professor Li asked about the weakness of earworms and the role of secretions... I think you should know... After all, Li Meng often attracts insects, you must know these very well. But why didn't you raise your hand?"

"Oh, that."

The witch lifted the long hair hanging by her ears, pinched the neck of the black gem cat, put it back on Zheng Qing's shoulder, and smiled at the boy and the cat: "-I said I didn't pay attention to what the professor said just now, do you believe it?"

The black cat pulled its ears.

Zheng Qing nodded obediently.

Although this explanation sounds unreasonable, it is indeed the most reasonable explanation. As for what the witch was thinking about when she didn't listen to the teacher's lecture just now, just looking at her smiling expression, Zheng Qing didn't have the courage to ask further.

The distance between the teaching building and the Baicao Garden, where students often go, is not far.

Soon, the low two-story building appeared in the sight of the young wizards.

The thin and dilapidated arched garden gate, the black doorplate, the hollow runes on the stone wall, and the gray wall skin rolled up in the corner of the wall, etc., everything here seems to be frozen in time, just like Zheng Qing's first impression of coming to Baicao Garden.

"Everyone, hurry up."

Professor Li has changed into dragon skin protective clothing. His eyes swept across the kittens on Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu's shoulders, and then looked at others: "Do you remember the rules of Baicao Garden?"

"Listen to the teacher's orders!"

"Don't move around!"

"Listen to the teacher's orders and don't move around!"

The young wizards' chaotic answers obviously did not satisfy the professor. After a pause, he added: "In addition to these, remember not to bring in magical items that are not related to the garden without permission!"

This reminder is very clear.

Jiang Yu immediately lifted the clone transformation spell and put the white jade into his pocket.

The moment before Zheng Qing took action, the black gem cat jumped onto the big oak tree at the entrance of the garden and screamed, "You go to class, I will help you chase the squirrels!"

The scream attracted the attention of many students under the tree.

The squirrels that were originally comfortable on the oak tree were also chased away by the black cat that suddenly jumped over.

Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment, but he did not cancel the transformation spell. He turned around and took the incense stick handed by Xiao Xiao, inserted it into the incense burner in front of the shrine in the entrance of Baicao Garden, prayed silently for a few words, picked up a bunch of incense ash, and threw it over his left shoulder.

Then he followed everyone into the garden in order.

The sand begonia needs to grow in the calcium-based soil after the limestone has weathered. It likes wind, likes the sun, and is afraid of cold, because it was planted outside Baicao Garden by Uncle Stendhal.

"——This tree looks like a tang tree, with yellow flowers and red fruits. The tang fruit tastes a bit like a plum, but without a core. After eating it, wizards can temporarily breathe underwater, similar to the sacgrass, but it tastes much better than the sacgrass... Of course, everyone must pay attention to the risk of suffocation, so don't eat it casually just because it tastes good."

When the professor said the last sentence, he gave Fatty Xin a warning look.

This made the fat wizard quite unhappy.

"Do I look like someone who eats casually?" He complained to the doctor indignantly.

"No." Zhang Jixin, who was walking on the other side of him, suddenly said three words.

The fat wizard was furious when he heard this.

But it was not easy to make a move on the red-faced wizard.

Because Professor Li in front of the team had already handed over to Uncle Stendhal, the manager of Baicao Garden, and the old school worker was leaning on a mattock and standing in front of a snowy forest.

When the young wizards gradually calmed down, he slowly spoke.

"——The insects you have to deal with today are called jujube lice, scientifically known as 'Yingzhou wax scale' and 'jujube wax scale', which is a very annoying insect."

Old man Stendhal introduced today's task in a rough voice: "Its nymphs will attach to the leaves of the sand begonia, suck the sap, and then secrete waxy excrement to form a hard scale shell, which is fixed on the leaves and branches. If it is one or two, it doesn't matter, but this insect has a strong reproductive capacity. Each female insect lays 1,500 to 2,000 eggs at a time. In April and May, which is this season, they begin to hatch and densely attach to the branches. From a distance, it looks like snow on the trees..."

As he said, he waved his hand and pointed to the gray-white forest behind him.

Zheng Qing realized that what he thought was snow was actually insect shells. As if sensing the outside world’s prying eyes, the ‘white snow’ suddenly trembled, and in a moment, black insect heads appeared one after another, with white scale shells, like eyeballs, and a dense sense of fear arose spontaneously, causing Zheng Qing to shudder involuntarily.

He was not the only one who reacted to this.

Almost at the same time as the old school worker finished his introduction, the witches in the team took a step back at the same time, and made extremely slight, disgusted sounds. The performance of other male wizards was not better, the difference was that some just tilted their heads back, and some drooped their eyelids, as if they would not be upset if they could not see.

Perhaps they sensed the disgust of the young wizards.

Uncle Stendhal paused his gaze on Zheng Qing, and suddenly changed the subject: "——Everyone has seen these bugs. Professor Qi Huang will teach you how to prepare insecticide later. His prescription is very strong. If you use his medicine, all the leaves of the satsuma trees will fall off, and no fruit will be produced this year. So some people do not agree with spraying pesticides. But everyone knows that if you don't spray this kind of pesticide, the insects will gnaw along the bark into the roots, and will leave eggs in the soil. By next year, these satsuma trees will not even grow leaves. So, don't be afraid of difficulties. You still have to spray pesticides... Because if you save the roots, there will be next year... The fruit trees will be able to produce new fruits next year. If the roots are rotten, there will be no new fruits."

When he said this, the professor of potions frowned slightly and didn't say much. He just stood aside with his hands folded, seemingly unaware of the slightly confused eyes around him.

Including Zheng Qing.

He is no longer the pink and tender freshman when he first entered college.

"Why do I feel that old man Stendhal has something to say?" He whispered quietly to the doctor's ear.

Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses.

He did not directly answer Zheng Qing's question, but recited a sutra: "Appearance is born from the heart, the environment changes with the heart, the fate is created by the heart, and the blessing is self-invited... You are watching the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are watching you from the upstairs, that's it."

Zheng Qing hates fortune tellers.
