Chapter 858: The Haunted Prairie (Part II)
This dead woman, sometimes I really don't know what's going on in her head! When it came to the girl who looked gentle like water, Zhou Zhiting stomped her feet with hatred. If you have already read this section, read the latest section
"Okay, let's not talk about these depressing things. In short, you tutor me well, and I cover you in the company. Someone bullied you, just come and tell me. As soon as she mentioned English, she immediately became in good spirits. I took out a book from my bag and threw it over, "Today I want to learn this book, and I can't understand the meaning of more than ten sentences, even if I look up the dictionary, I can't figure it out." No one can teach it! ”
I looked down and saw that the title of the book was "Robinson Crusoe" "Robinson Crusoe"? It's a great book, I've always liked it the most, and I've read it several times! ”
Flipping through the content of the book, Zhou Zhiting marked the things she didn't understand with red lines. I read the sentence and slowly explained, "This is a book published in England in 1719, and in view of the changes in the meaning of words in the seventeenth century and today, these sentences should be understood in this way......
I smiled bitterly inwardly as I explained to her.
This girl has made me miserable. The human heart is a very complex thing, and many people are not afraid of competition and injustice.
My stay in a single room was a trivial thing for me. Because I don't care, I'm just here to steal things, steal and leave. As for the employees of Zhou's Group, they all want to climb to the top and have better development. But I, who had just joined the company for two days, actually got special treatment and lived in a single room that only senior management can have. That's not a good thing!
No wonder Fauber hates me. It is estimated that after all the employees are clear about the situation tomorrow morning, their attitude towards me will be even worse openly and secretly. I'm afraid that I haven't been able to integrate into the grassroots circle for a while, and it is even more difficult to collect intelligence.
You can think of gossip that will be widely circulated tomorrow with your knees, such as how a little white face who has just joined the company climbs by bewitching the eldest lady; It's better to have a good face than to do a good job, and so on.
No matter how naïve people are, there must be dark spots, and when I think of this, I feel anxious. No, you must find a way to divert the attention of employees. Otherwise, you really don't have a place to stand!
The next day, as I had guessed, every employee of the Zhou Group secretly pointed fingers at me, and there were countless versions of the gossip that flowed rapidly as if they had grown wings in the originally fresh grassland.
There aren't many employees who give me a good look.
The last six days have been very busy, opening the beehive to allow the bees to acclimatize. Pull the fence around the camp. The brought solar street lights and solar water heaters will be placed in the designated places according to the plan.
Fortunately, it may be because of these rumors that Zhou Zhiting has not come to me for six days.
The so-called gossip was originally just speculation without much factual basis. It spreads through people's gossip psychology and mouth-to-mouth transmission, and it comes and goes quickly.
As the workload of the Group's employees increased, everyone's attention shifted. Even if it is a time when he was very unkind to me, Fubo also changed back to the appearance of a good old man and smiled at me. But occasionally, I can still see a hint of a sinister smile in his eyes.
The old guy obviously hated me, but he didn't know what the reason was.
Time passed slowly, and when everything was on track and the group's work would not be too busy, it had unconsciously spent the tenth day in the grassland.
Early in the morning on May 18, something strange happened.
Beekeeping is a technical job that may seem simple, but it has many harsh conditions.
When I came, I thought that I wouldn't have too many complicated things to be entangled in as a driver, and I would have a lot of time to investigate what I wanted to investigate. It seems that I was naïve. The company does not invite people to go on vacation when they pay so much to their employees.
The position of driver is only part-time, and the main occupation is to be a beekeeper.
After the initial hectic work, my face was slightly peeling due to the strong UV radiation from the plateau and the lack of sunscreen. Fortunately, there are not many places to peel off, and the new skin is whiter and less prone to sunburn.
My main duty now is to take care of an apiary with more than 200 beehives every day.
I'm a beginner in beekeeping, and because of Zhou Zhiting, the employees don't have any good impression of me, a guy who doesn't compete according to the rules. So everything can only be explored by itself.
In a newly opened beekeeping site, the first step is to remove weeds, level the land, clean it, and then display the bee colony. The basic requirement of the bee colony arrangement is to facilitate the management and operation of the bee colony, and it is convenient for the bees to identify the location of the beehives of the group.
If the number of bee colonies is small, a single box and a single column or two boxes can be used in parallel; The bee farm with a large number of bee colonies is arranged in branches, and the beehives in each row are staggered with each other, with a spacing of 1 meter and a row spacing of 2-3 meters, and the distance is wider.
I followed exactly the few beekeeping books I had read when I arrived, but I was ridiculed by the old staff.
Since he started to manage beehives, he often saw the bees that the Zhou Group is proud of. The company's bees do have a unique feature, not only are the average Chinese bees larger, but they also fly faster and collect more honey. I got better for a while, and I deliberately grabbed one while no one was paying attention and took a closer look.
Most of the domestic beekeepers keep Chinese bees, and in recent years, American bees and Italian bees have also been introduced from abroad. But it seems to me that this one of the hands is unlike any house bee known in the world.
The bee struggled between my fingers, its compound eyes looking at me with hatred. The strength is also great. The thorns on its buttocks shimmered black in the sunlight, making it chilling to watch. So I let it go.
It circled around my head and flew away.
Instead, I fell into deep thought, struggling to recall what I had seen and heard in the last few days.
The Zhou Group is not only unique in its bees, but also in its beekeeping methods.
For example, the bee colony I am responsible for should be dispersed according to the book, or 2-3 groups can be divided into 1 group, and the distance between each group or group should be large. Mating groups or new groups should be scattered at the edge of the bee farm, so that the nest doors are facing different directions, and the terrain and features should be used appropriately to facilitate bees to identify their hives.
The hive's nest door faces south, or southeast or southwest, which allows the bees to go to work earlier, and the low temperature season is conducive to the hive insulation. The beehive is 20-30 cm high with bricks, stones, wooden frames, etc., so as to prevent moisture from the ground from invading the beehive, and to prevent enemies from sneaking into the box and harming the bee colony. The beehive should be laid flat on the left and right, and the height of the day after tomorrow should be 2-3 cm to prevent rainwater from flowing into the beehive, and it is also convenient for the bees to clean the bottom of the hive.
However, Zhou's bees are definitely not so particular. Although there are also groups, almost everyone has a pile, finds a place in the railing, and moves the beehive in their charge. Stack them on top of each other, as long as there is enough space between each pile of beehives for bees to enter and exit.
This is the first time I've seen such a tenacious and extremely easy bee. It is no wonder that the Zhou Group was able to rise during the Qing Dynasty and has continued to flourish to this day. The stubborn vitality of the bee alone can save a lot of money, not to mention that the honey collection rate of this bee is more than twice that of the average bee.
The information given to me by the old man Yang Junfei vaguely mentioned that for the bees of the Zhou Group, many people engaged in beekeeping have sent commercial spies to steal the queen bee and the queen bee. It's a pity that there is no one who can feed and nurture the next generation.
This shows that the high-level hands of the Zhou Group must have the secret to being able to breed such bees. That secret, it is very likely that it is stored in the ancestral box.
The more I learned about Zhou's bees, the more likely I felt that the box contained a bone of Mr. Chen.
Delivering three meals a day to Granny Zhou has become my default task. After each meal, the cafeteria would hand me two meals, and I would be sent to that grim Container 13.
Strange things first appeared in a very old room.
On May 18, at 7 o'clock in the morning, the weather was slightly cool. The wind blows from the prairie, leaving the skin cold and dry. I had breakfast and brought two breakfasts into the house as usual.
Today I ate steamed buns and porridge. Since there is no water source nearby, domestic water is purchased by special personnel in nearby towns. The water has always been tight. The water rationing is also carried out after breakfast.
The only place where there is no shortage of water is probably where Granny Zhou lives.
I'm a lazy person, so I often carry a water bottle, and after bringing her a meal, I pick up a bottle of cold water and store it in the tent to wash up.
When she went in, there was no abnormality, and Granny Zhou carried the pillow man to the chair and sat down as before, and then ate slowly.
I continued to watch the porridge and steamed buns in the lunch box disappear mysteriously. Although I thought about all kinds of possibilities, I still very much minded this unexplained phenomenon.
Just as I was about to pack up my clean lunch box, I was suddenly stunned.
The pillow man who had been sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals ran behind me at some point, and hugged his right leg tightly.
I almost screamed in fright, and hurriedly threw my legs hard, trying to shake off the horrible thing.
I didn't expect it to be stuck to my leg, and I couldn't get it off no matter how much I shook it.
Granny Zhou smiled, her insect-eaten face revealing as kind as ever, "Young man, it seems that my wife likes you." ”
It's not a good thing to like as a substitute for a dead person, after all, it's not a good thing. In such a strange atmosphere, I broke out in a cold sweat, and I didn't dare to take my lunch box, struggling to escape to the door.
