    When the children came back from school and saw several huts set up, they screamed with excitement, dropped their schoolbags, ran in and crawled in and out.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Shirley said dissatisfied: "This was originally prepared for us. Do you think a six- or seven-year-old kid can use a juicer and an ice machine?"

    Qin Shiou shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Very good, you can sleep in there if you like. If you live here in the future, you don't have to come back to eat."

    "Then are we really sleeping here?" Shirley looked at Qin Shiou and asked. The cold drink hut has a small bed and a family hut, which even has a bathroom.

    Qin Shiou shrugged and said, do whatever you like, just wait until midnight to feed the mosquitoes.

    The children were very interested in sleeping in the outdoor cabin. They actually ran in holding their own little quilts, but they ran back again not long after.

    Qin Shiou was chatting with Mario about the farm. When he saw the disgraced children running back, he gloated and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Are there a lot of mosquitoes?"

    Wei Ni stood up and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll go find electric mosquito coils for you."

    Shirley wrinkled her pretty face and said, "No, it's not a mosquito, it's a bug. The bugs are squeaking. The noise is so noisy that I can't sleep."

    "Insects?" Qin Shiou was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You're talking about cicadas, right?"

    Cicadas are known as cicadas, but naturally they don¡¯t have this name in North America.

    Shirley and others nodded, and Gordon said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, they are those bugs. They are really annoying. They scream endlessly. They also attract many other bugs around. The roof of the hut is full of bug shit!"

    Qin Shiou didn't pay attention. He seemed to know a lot about cicadas this summer.

    Shelly and other children call cicadas bugs, not because they are being cute, but because Canadian children call this insect that way because it is relatively rare and they will only see it once in their entire childhood.

    Canadian cicadas and Chinese cicadas are not the same species. Cicadas are insects that grow cyclically. Their nymphs live underground, and finally the adults will live on the ground for a period of time, usually in the months of summer and early autumn, and then die.

    Most Chinese cicadas are three-year cicadas, five-year cicadas, etc., while the Canadian cicada is a type of North American cicada, and its name is seventeen-year cicada!

    As you can understand from the name, this kind of cicada can live for seventeen years, but they spend more than sixteen years hiding underground. In the last few months, they fly out of the ground, find a mate, leave their eggs, and then die.

    Nowadays, Indians in some places still use cicadas to calculate their lives.  He may have been a child when the cicadas first appeared in large numbers; they would appear in swarms when he got married; they would appear again when his own children were getting married; and they would appear again when he was about to retire with a family full of children and grandchildren.

    If they are lucky, these Indians will experience another cicada outbreak, and then they will die.

    Cicadas are a global species and appear every year. Qin Shiou also heard the chirping of cicadas on Farewell Island last year, but the number was small, so he didn't pay attention.

    But this year, it seems that the chirping of cicadas has suddenly become chaotic, and the number sounds much greater than last year.

    Qin Shiou briefly mentioned it, and Mario smiled and said: "Didn't you notice? This year is the outbreak cycle of the seventeen-year cicada, and the three grassland provinces are already making disaster prevention preparations."

    Qin Shiou didn't pay attention at that time. Cicadas only suck tree sap, don't hurt people, bite people, and don't eat crops. What kind of disaster can it be considered?  He thought Mario was joking, but a few days later he discovered that it was no joke!

    The population of cicadas exploded very rapidly. The day before, Qin Shiou didn't feel anything. When he was running in the morning the next day, he suddenly saw a group of small insects flying out of the woods. They circled around and then flew back.  A 'squeak' sound rang out in the woods.

    "Damn it, aren't they all cicadas?" Qin Shiou asked in shock.

    The soldiers were running with Qin Shiou. Hearing his question, Heidao smiled and said: "Of course, those are cicadas, those are seventeen-year cicadas. I am deeply impressed by them. When I was on duty in Washington seventeen years ago,  But I have suffered from them!¡±

    As he said that, Heidao sighed: "God, can you make time go slower? It's been seventeen years in the blink of an eye. I was still a young boy at that time, alas."

    Qin Shiou said strangely: "What kind of suffering can a thing like cicada cause you?  They don't bite people or eat crops, and they are still a delicious food.  "

    A group of soldiers stared at him with strange eyes. BB Shuang said exaggeratedly: "Food? No, I won't eat such ugly things. They are like, uh, like aliens. Yes, aliens, very scary!"

    The doormat also said: "It's true that they don't bite, but they are very annoying. They exist wherever there are trees. You have to keep driving them away, otherwise they will buzz all day and night.  Leaves crunching above your headGod! That's a disaster!"

    "Cicadas don't eat leaves, okay?" Qin Shiou said.

    Trigger defended the doormat: "No, they eat it. There used to be a small poplar tree in my yard. It turned out that about seventeen years ago, a group of cicadas invaded it. It didn't take long for the leaves to disappear. Naturally, that tree  The poor little tree is dead too!¡±

    Qin Shiou laughed loudly. He thought these Americans were quite interesting. In some fields, they were experts, but in other fields, they were so cute as idiots.

    There was nothing to argue about. Qin Shiou acquiesced to their argument and ran to the woods to listen for a while.

    The noisy chirping of cicadas is too loud, not pleasant at all, but a bit harsh, which shows how huge their number is.

    After returning to the villa, he checked online and found that Mario was not joking. The three provinces in the grassland had indeed issued an outbreak warning for the seventeen-year-old cicada.

    There are two species of seventeen-year cicadas based on the maturity months of adults, located in the United States and Canada. Except for the North American continent, their existence has not been found in other parts of the world.

    In fact, cicadas have been recorded as early as the beginning of human settlement in the continental United States, but even today, entomologists still do not fully understand this insect, which is said to be the most abundant insect on earth.

    The seventeen-year cicada has occupied more than 15 states in the United States, including most of Virginia, New York, western Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, and northern Georgia.  wait.

    The seventeen-year-old cicada in Canada mainly lives in the southern areas of the three prairie provinces, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, such as Farewell Island.

    The reason why this insect is considered a disaster is because it is very violent when it breaks out. In forest areas with adapted climate conditions, the average number of cicadas per acre of land will reach 1.5 million!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
