Volume 1 Chapter 10 Little Ghost Umbrella
The green fibers are like squirming microorganisms and thin threads from sewing machines. They quickly cover the entire wound in the palm of their hands, and the blood is like being locked and no longer seeps out.
The wound was numb and itchy, but the crack was shrinking little by little.
Almost half a minute after Fu Hongyang was stunned, the wound had been stitched with green fibers and pulled into a thin incision, and the previous blood also solidified and scabbed. The wound that usually requires several days of cultivation was quickly healed by the parasites of black seeds.
Although it has not been completely healed, the degree of injury has been greatly reduced.
"Woom!"
Doudou's screams pulled him back from his shock.
I tried to clench my fists, but the wound did not explode. Obviously, the suture of the green fiber was very good: "Are I parasitized by 'alien' or have superpowers? Is the parasitization of black seeds short or long?" Overall, the surprise was too much frightening.
For every boy, he has dreams of superpowers.
Especially in such a world where disasters are in progress, where dead people mutate and trees mutate, Fu Hongyang naturally also longs for himself to mutate and gain the ability to defeat disasters.
"Wow!" Doudou was still shouting.
Fu Hongyang was about to scold it and stop calling, but suddenly found that Doudou was not yelling at him, but yelling at the ground, as if something on the ground attracted its attention.
"What's going on?"
"Woom!"
Following the direction of Doudou's shouting, Fu Hongyang looked down and found that it was a few big ants, arranged in loose queues, searching for food in his yard. This black ants are relatively large in size, comparable to a mung bean. He has learned about the large black ants, scientifically known as the Japanese bow-back ant.
Although it was first named by the Japanese, this kind of big black ants is distributed throughout East Asia and is very common.
"Just a few ants, stop calling, Doudou!" Fu Hongyang patted Doudou's head and stopped it from barking, so as not to attract zombies.
Then he turned around and continued to deal with the wound. Although the wound was sewn with green fibers, it did not heal. He had to continue bandaging with clothes to avoid cracking the wound when he was exerting force. He tore off a strip of cloth from his shirt, wrap it carefully, tie a knot, and the bandaging ended.
It is not beautiful, but very comfortable, and you can't feel the pain in the wound when you touch it.
Doudou around him was still barking at the big black ant.
"Don't shout!"
"Woooo..." Doudou was scolded and did not dare to bark again. She just lay on the ground, staring at the actions of the big black ant, even forgot about being hungry.
When Fu Hongyang changed the bloody clothes and found an old one to put on, it was still staring at the big black ant.
"Have you never seen the ants?"
“Woo woo…”
"Don't call."
“Woo woo…”
After threatening Doudou, Fu Hongyang planned to use the darkness to put a few sticks on the courtyard wall to slow down the collapse. He still felt that there was a wall surrounding the small courtyard, which made him feel safe, even though the collapse of the courtyard wall was already irreversible.
The stick is made of cement poles in the ruins of two floors.
After a little effort, I successfully supported three pieces to support the cracked and sloping courtyard wall.
After finishing all this, he saw the black dog Doudou lying on the ground, staring at the big black ant. He followed the movement of the big black ant and kept changing its position. He soon ran to the place where the wooden boards were piled up. He looked up from time to time and looked at Fu Hongyang, as if he wanted to shout, but he didn't dare to scream.
Fu Hongyang didn't plan to care about this stupid dog's game, but he was idle and had nothing to do, so he walked to the wooden board and took a brief look at the big black ant.
When I saw this, I was surprised.
I just sorted out the wooden boards in the ruins of the building in the morning, and now white umbrella-shaped mushrooms have grown on the edges of these wooden boards.
"Isn't this a little ghost umbrella?" Fu Hongyang recognized this mushroom at a glance. It was very common near his hometown. I don't know what the scientific name is. Anyway, the old people call it a little ghost umbrella, and I don't know if it can be eaten. I have never seen anyone pick it. The little ghost umbrella usually grows together.
There are not many little umbrellas on the wooden board, only a dozen, but there are already small white dots around, and they are growing up quickly.
The big black ants were busy circled around the group of umbrellas, as if these umbrellas were just what they were cultivating.
Soon, the small white dots began to grow and grew into new umbrellas, huddled with the original umbrellas. The big black ant quickly climbed onto the mature umbrellas, then bit off the mushroom umbrellas, held them over their heads, and ran along the original path quickly.
One big black ants after another quickly cut off the mature little ghost umbrella.
"Are you really here to cultivate the umbrella?" Fu Hongyang was very convinced that when he was cleaning up the wooden boards, there was no sign of mushrooms growing on them.
It didn't rain again.
These little ghost umbrellas can't emerge from the wooden board in half a day. There is only one possibility, that is, the big black ant came to plant the little ghost umbrella on the wooden board.
He stood up silently and followed the big black ants, wanting to see where they transported the little ghost umbrella.
After climbing over the courtyard wall, the big black ants crawled towards the farmland outside bit by bit. Their speed was much faster than normal big black ants. They raised fragments of the little ghost umbrella bigger than their bodies and walked vigorously. They quickly passed through the farmland and approached the edge of the smog rolling haze.
Watching the big black ants line up to escape into the smog, he did not continue to follow - the smog is harmful to the human body, and there are zombies hiding in it.
He stood on the farmland and waited quietly for a moment.
As the first batch of big black ants returned with the little ghost umbrella, as expected, a large number of big black ants rushed out of the haze and rushed towards the small yard of Fu Hongyang's family. The little ghost umbrella had grown into hundreds, and Doudou was lying on the side and staring at the little ghost umbrella.
After the big black ants arrived, they directly began to cut the umbrella of the little ghost and transport the fragments back.
But there were also a group of big black ants who circled around the wooden board. Fu Hongyang squatted down and observed carefully. Only then did he find that they could spit out small silk threads from their mouths. The silk threads stuck to the wooden boards and soon gave birth to small white spots. The small white spots grew bigger and bigger, and gradually became small ghost umbrellas.
"The big black ant should be spitting mycelium, right? Mushrooms are fungi, and fungi seem to grow from mycelium?" No matter whether this is the case or not, at least he figured out how the big black ant planted umbrellas.
Looking at the busy big black ants.
He thought about how to deal with it, whether to destroy these big black ants or be in peace. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that the big black ants should be destroyed - after all, they planted small ghost umbrellas, consuming their own wooden boards, which was equivalent to seizing his survival supplies, which was unbearable.
However, it is rare to see ants "plant crops", and it is difficult for him to do it for a while.
After living alone and having a dog for more than ten days, I finally encountered interesting big black ants. He wanted to keep them and pass the time when he was bored.
However, before he could think about it, Doudou, who had been lying on the side for a long time, suddenly rushed over, stretched out his tongue, and quickly added a little to the wooden board.
He licked more than a dozen little ghost umbrellas and big black ants into his mouth.
I was chewing, as if I was eating meat.
