15. Declare war on mosquitoes
He stretched out his arms to show Nate and Danny, and they looked at him pitifully and said, "The Lord of the City has no muscles, very weak Yazi."
Uncle Yang stretched his face and said, "Who asked you to see this? Look at the bumps! These are all bags that are bitten by mosquitoes!"
He bought a lot of things these days but forgot to buy mosquito nets. He asked the mosquitoes to bite them last night, and several bags appeared on his arm at once.
This scared him. African mosquitoes do not bite people like Chinese mosquitoes that have undergone socialist transformation. At most, itchy for a while. This thing can spread malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and other diseases, so you have to prevent it.
Yang Shubao was very afraid of death, so he simply stopped sleeping and drove away the mosquitoes, preparing to wait until the mosquitoes are gone before going to bed.
As a result, he drove away until dawn, and the mosquitoes continued all night.
He saw that the two places were refreshed and asked, "Have you not been bitten by mosquitoes?"
Danny scrambled to say, "No, no pests dared to get close to Mom of Life Tree."
"I'll answer this kind of words, slut, no favors are allowed." Nate said angrily.
Danny grimaced at him, and Nate rose up and fought with him.
Uncle Yang was too lazy to pay attention to these two fools. He got up early today and rarely saw the sunrise on the grassland.
He had known for a long time that the northeast corner of South Africa was a smooth grassland, but he didn't expect it to be so flat and vast. Looking into the distance, there were green grasslands in the north, and there were only slightly ups and downs in the distance, like green waves.
The rising sun rises from the east, which is the direction of the sea.
Yang Shubao could vaguely see a touch of blue. His territory was not far from the sea. With the sunrise, the green grass was covered with light golden color. There were no large animals around. The grass was quiet and peaceful. The weather was cool in the morning. The wind blew from the east and the clothes were shaking. At this moment, the heaven and earth were sounding. He stood alone in the wilderness like a tree.
As for those two goblins? They are not humans.
But the grassland just looks quiet and wonderful. In fact, it is a prosperous and noisy world. There are many small insects hidden in the grass leaves, and countless mosquitoes, flies and ants.
As he left the territory covered by the Tree of Life, flies and mosquitoes immediately flew towards him.
He now doesn't care about the flies and kills mosquitoes first, but a fly falls on his arm like someone burns him with a cigarette butt, burning fire.
Uncle Yang screamed and quickly shook his arm. The gray-headed fly fled quickly, leaving a wound to leak blood.
"Magobi, is this a gadfly?" Old Yang lamented, "No, no, no, I must find a way to cure these insects, otherwise there will be no one here!"
At this moment, he thanked himself for his hard study over the years. As a student majoring in animal and environmental protection, he took plant courses and knew that some plants could repel mosquitoes. Now that he has used this knowledge, he has to plant this plant around the colored steel tile house.
First of all, he is looking for pyrethra. The name of this plant sounds domineering and is especially effective for mosquitoes because they contain pyrethras in their bodies. Mosquito coils contain their extracts and are effective in repelling mosquitoes.
For decades, pyrethra has been the leader in deworming in the plant world. They are Yang Shubao's first choice. Ingeniously, pyrethra's hometown, the Mediterranean, is right next to Africa, and they can be found in the African grasslands.
However, it was a bit difficult to find the wilderness. Yang Shubao remembered that there was a flower shop in the resort town, so in the morning, he ran to the town while the weather was not very hot.
A few kilometers away was a Long March for him in the past. As he absorbed the spring of life, his physical fitness improved greatly. Now he was a little bit of a sudden, and he could run over without breathing.
The flower shop faces south on the north side of the road, with bright sunshine.
It adopts a Tudor style rare in South Africa. It has spacious windows under the long and narrow spire, surrounded by wooden grids, and the color is simple, white walls and black tiles.
When Yang Shubao ran over, the door was just open, and a tall blond girl was moving a flower pot out.
The morning breeze blew her white skirt, her slender and straight calves faintly visible under the hem of the skirt, and there was a string of slender silver chains on her white ankles. The silver chain was interspersed with mini wind chimes of the same color, and there were tiny ringtones among the light footsteps as she walked.
Uncle Yang suddenly thought of his childhood. When he was a child, he had a cat at home. The kitten was naughty and always ran around, so his mother hung a bell on the kitten's neck.
Women have a magical instinct that their skin can feel their eyes.
Yang Shubao's eyes stayed on the blonde's ankle for only three seconds. The girl immediately turned her head and looked at him and smiled politely: "Good morning, do you want to see the flowers?"
Lao Yang coughed and said, "Yes, I want to see the chrysanthemum..."
He felt that this was a bit ambiguous and quickly added: "I mean I want to buy some pyrethra, do you have it here?"
The girl pulled the hem of the skirt with her right hand and nodded at him. After putting down the hem of the skirt, she raised her left eyebrows and said, "Of course, please come with me."
It's so naughty, Lao Yang laughed subconsciously.
There are many varieties of chrysanthemums in the flower shop, and Yang Shubao even saw Chinese marigolds.
The girl guessed the reason why he bought pyrethra, and when she saw him looking at marigold, she started selling it: "If you want to drive away mosquitoes, this kind of chrysanthemum is more suitable, and its close relative peacock grass, they have a slogan, 'Give me the sunshine, help you kill mosquitoes'."
"Yes, they can secrete thiophene compounds, and they are particularly effective in killing insects under sunlight." Yang Shubao said in a very professional tone.
The girl smiled sweetly: "Yes, my shop also has silver chrysanthemums and mumandalas. If you want to repel mosquitoes, you must need them, because chrysanthemums, especially marigolds and peacock grass, can repel mosquitoes during the day, and you have to rely on mumandalas at night. Of course, night scented trees and hosta are also good choices, but I don't have them in my shop for the time being."
Listening to the introduction, Uncle Yang was quite surprised: "You are so professional."
He originally wanted to buy Mumandala. At night, it was the time to fight against mosquitoes, and Mumandala had the characteristics of repelling mosquitoes at night.
The girl said, "I like plants, so I know more. Come with me and show you rosemary, schizonepeta, basil, come, sniff the basil, do you like it?"
Uncle Yang nodded and said, "I like it."
"But the mosquitoes don't like it." The girl laughed again, "How much do you need to buy? Oh, my name is Nicole Zorro, Zorro of Zorro, I'm very happy to know you."
"I'm Yang," Yang Shubao shook hands with her and pointed to the direction of the tree of life, "I bought a piece of land there, built a house and prepared to live there. I think I have to plant these plants all around the house. How much do you think you need?"
Nicole said thoughtfully: "You bought the land in the reserve? Then I met a big customer. I am afraid that all the chrysanthemums, rosemary and other mosquito repellent vegetation in my store will not be enough. If you want to live in the wilderness, you may be surrounded by mosquito repellent vegetation around your house."
Yang Shubao thought so too. He said, "You can count the quantity and price of all the mosquito repellent vegetation here first. I'll go to Meimeida for a shower first, and then buy them all when I come back."
After hearing his words, Nicole immediately smiled: "Beautiful and take a shower? It turns out that you are still an exquisite boy."
Yang Shubao explained: "Maybe I didn't say it clearly enough. I went to Meimeida Express Restaurant to take a shower. Manager Mason and I have a good relationship."
Nicole immediately said readily: "Go, Richard is a good person. For his sake, I can give you a discount on this business, 90% off."
