The little girl clicked and bit the salty and crispy crab leg in her mouth, and the sentence "better than crispy crab" said by her grandfather sounded in her mind again.

I immediately made up my mind to catch some cicada chrysalis and come back to taste them.

Originally, the little girl had already made up her mind and ate quickly, but as soon as she put down the dishes and chopsticks, she received a message.

This news is that the little chubby girl in Beibei will come to the house tomorrow as a guest.

This is what Yang Guang said to Jiang Yi on the phone.

"Ruirui, Uncle Yang Guang is going to bring Beibei to our house for a few days!"

Putting down the phone, Jiang Yi immediately told Rui Rui the news, and the little girl immediately jumped up when she heard it:

"Sister Beibei is coming, it's so good, I miss her!"

The news that the good sister is coming dilutes the little girl's yearning for the cicada chrysalis, and she sits there planning a series of things such as where to go and what to play when Sister Beibei comes!

Jiang Yi watched the little girl counting things with her fingers there, and didn't care about her, she went directly to clean up the kitchen, and then began to go to the house to get tools.

The matter of catching cicada chrysalis, Jiang Yi is simply not too familiar with it, this thing can be said to be the most beautiful thing in childhood memories.

It is also one of the few longings in the whole summer except for the fear of being beaten by playing in the water with a bare butt.

Now, although he is about to be the father of three children, the skill of catching cicada chrysalis is still buried in his bones, and even when he mentions the matter of catching cicada chrysalis, there is a feeling of returning from childhood.

However, just after Jiang Yi prepared the tools, the little girl said that she would not go.

The reason is very simple, what she said is to go to bed early, and then pick up Xiaobeibei tomorrow.

But Yang Guang's exact words were that they might not come here until evening.

Because Yang Guang didn't come to Jiang Yi to play this time, he and Jiang Yi had a poverty alleviation project in Ningxi.

Now, Ningxi's production and life are thriving, and this achievement still needs to be witnessed.

That's right, Yang Guang was originally going to Ningxi, but the little fat girl knew very well that Ningxi was very close to Ruirui's hometown.

And the memory of Rui Rui's hometown made her remember it vividly, so as soon as she heard her father say that she was going to Ningxi, she immediately said that she wanted to come to Rui Rui.

is also a daughter slave, how could Yang Guang refuse his daughter's wish, and immediately agreed, which is why he has this trip.

Therefore, Rui Rui's desire to pick up people, I'm afraid it will take a long time.

The little guy ate a lot of crabs at night, and Jiang Yi naturally wanted her to move around to prevent food accumulation, so he mobilized her again and said:

"Rui Rui, you know Beibei's nickname, she's a snacker, aren't you going to prepare some special food for her?

Also, catching cicada chrysalis is a very fun thing, you can learn it first, and then when she comes tomorrow, you can teach her to catch it together!"

Jiang Yi's understanding of the little girl is like the degree of understanding of his own hands and feet.

Therefore, his words immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of the little girl again.

"Alright then, Dad, let's go, let's go cicada hunting!"

The little girl snapped her fingers and made up her mind again.

Jiang Yi took out a bamboo basket made by the old man in the village and hung it on the little girl's shoulder.

This kind of bamboo basket is specially used to catch cicadas.

He has a funnel-like opening, and if he puts the cicada chrysalis down, he doesn't have to worry about it leaking out again.

Of course, if you want to take out the silkworm chrysalis inside, there is also a skill, as long as you remove the lid of the funnel on it, you can pour it out smoothly.

To catch cicada pupae at night, in addition to the basket for silkworm pupa, you also need some other tools, such as flashlights, water bottles, small net pockets and the like.

Jiang Yi also gave the little girl a small net pocket and a flashlight.

When the night breeze was slightly cool, the father and daughter set off, and the old man also went out, but he didn't go to catch cicada chrysalis, the old man liked to go out to catch mountain scorpions on summer nights.

This insect can be used in medicine, it is a good thing to get rid of poison, as long as you fry some and eat it, in the autumn, there will be no poisonous sores that are easy to grow in autumn.

Therefore, the old man would put some mountain scorpions on it every summer, and then fry them into dry goods for his family to eat.

"Dad, is fried cicada chrysalis really delicious?"

The little girl was playing a small flashlight and holding Jiang Yi with one hand, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart.

One is that she is worried that this is the night, she is a little scared, and the other is that she is worried that she is busy working in vain, and Sister Beibei will not like to eat at that time!

"Don't worry, little girl, that thing is very delicious, Dad used to eat it in the summer when he was a child, at that time, it was very simple to eat, the salted boiled, or the fried.

It's different now, Dad has a lot of ways to do it, and I promise to make you want to eat it!"

Jiang Yi slapped his chest loudly, took the little girl's hand, and slowly walked towards the poplar forest that the old man mentioned.

Cicadas are the most popular poplar trees and local paulownia trees, so if you want to catch more cicada chrysalis, it is the most correct choice to go under the poplar tree.

On the side of Jiangjia Village, there is a poplar forest of more than 30 acres, and every year just catching cicada pupae and selling them can make dozens of families earn enough extra money.

Therefore, it is not only Jiang Yi's father and daughter who go to catch cicada chrysalis after nightfall.

At this time, especially the little ones, it is very active.

No, before Jiang Yi's father and daughter walked over there, they heard a noisy sound of life, and several flashlights dangling in the forest.

"Dad, there's someone there, oops, are we late, will the cicada chrysalis be caught!"

The little girl is a little worried, such a large forest, let alone a dozen people, even dozens of people, it is impossible to catch all the cicada chrysalis.

In addition, the time when the cicada chrysalis comes out is early and late, and some people go to the past and then find it back along the same road, and they can have much more than the previous trip.

When the little girl heard that she wouldn't run in vain, her originally anxious pace slowed down at this time.

Just as the father and daughter began to walk uphill into the woods, there was a cry of surprise.

"Ruirui, is that you, are you also here to catch cicada chrysalis?"

This sound was made by the neighbor Xiaomei.

Xiaomei is a little girl next door to Mr. Jiang's house, much older than Ruirui, and she is seven years old this year.

After Rui Rui came back, she often played with this young lady, so the two of them knew each other very well.

At this time, hearing the voice of the young lady, the little girl immediately became happy and shouted:

"Yes, I came out with my dad to catch cicada chrysalis, Sister Xiaomei, did you come a long time ago, did you catch it?"

The little girl was about to take the scriptures first, so she dragged Jiang Yi to Xiaomei's side.

Mei and her brother did set off early, and they already had some harvest in their little bamboo basket.

"Sister Ruirui, we caught some, by the way, Sister Ruirui shouldn't know what the cicada chrysalis looks like, hurry up, sister will show you!"

Xiaomei has always been very enthusiastic, and took out a small cicada chrysalis from the basket and put it in the palm of her hand, and turned on the light to show the little girl!

"Hey, they all have claws, they look a little scary!"

After all, the cicada chrysalis is a bug, and in addition to the fact that it is night, Rui Rui will naturally be a little scared when she sees its appearance.

"It's okay, they're stupid now, and they barely move, so it's easy to catch!"

Looking at Xiaomei's appearance, she seemed to want to put the cicada chrysalis in her hand and let her feel it.

The little girl's curiosity has increased greatly, and she is still a little afraid, but after all, she is also a person who practices martial arts, and she has some courage under Jiang Yi's training.

So, after a few attempts, the little girl spread out her fleshy little hand and asked Xiaomei to put the cicada chrysalis on her hand.

The cicada chrysalis is not dead, it is drumming.

Lying in the palm of the little girl's hand, it began to slowly move its somewhat stiff limbs.

"Ah, it's moving, does it bite?"

The little girl's body was straight, and she didn't dare to throw it away, but she didn't want to continue to hold it.

"Sister Ruirui, it doesn't bite, it doesn't even have a mouth yet!"

Xiaomei said her understanding, anyway, she has caught cicada chrysalis many times, and she has not been bitten again, and she has not heard of anyone who caught cicada chrysalis and been bitten!

"Don't worry, baby, this thing won't bite, do you see its shell, it's all its strength now used to break through this shell, and it doesn't have the ability to bite!"

Jiang Yi's supplementary explanation made the little girl try to play with the cicada chrysalis.

After some careful observation, the little girl's understanding of cicada chrysalis became more profound.

Then, she sent the cicada chrysalis back to Xiaomei's hands, and then dragged Jiang Yi and shouted:

"Dad, let's go, we're going to catch cicada chrysalis too, we must catch a lot!"

The little girl knew very well that she couldn't get together to do this kind of work, but had to be scattered, so she was ready to leave here first.

Jiang Yi Xiaomei and her brother Xiaozhuang said hello and walked into the forest.

After a while, Jiang Yi found a few silkworm chrysalis on the tree, they were not lying there, but wanted to climb higher.

Jiang Yi naturally wouldn't let them get his wish, shining a flashlight on them, and then covering them with a small net.

As soon as the little girl saw the harvest, she shouted and jumped happily at that time.

Jiang Yi didn't put the things in his small basket, but handed them to Rui Rui first.

The little girl began to shake her own basket from time to time, until she heard the sound of gurgling things rolling inside, and then smiled and continued to walk forward.

While the father and daughter walked forward, Jiang Yi began to be busy teaching the little girl arrest skills.

There are two ways to catch cicada chrysalis in the forest, one is to catch them on the trees, and the other is to catch them underground.

The one on the tree is naturally easy to catch, Jiang Yi and they have all the tools, as long as they find those things, they can't run.

There is also a kind of underground grasping, which is a test of experience and eyesight.

Usually, at this time, there will be small holes in the ground the thickness of a finger.

Inside these small holes, there will be some cicada chrysalis.

At this time, the cicada chrysalis already has its complete respiratory organs, so as long as you pour some water into the small hole, the cicada chrysalis will come out on its own in a short time.

At first, the little girl focused her eyes on the tree.

According to Jiang Yijiao's method, she took a flashlight and searched the trunk carefully, and after a while, she had a lot of gains.

Of course, at the beginning, the little girl called her father when she found something, and the little net pocket in her hand was simply an ornament.

But later, as more and more things were discovered, the little girl's courage also grew.

When she found a cicada chrysalis again, she no longer called her father to help, but began to try to catch it with a small net bag.

At this time, there are not only some cicada chrysalis that have not broken out of their cocoons, but also some cicadas that have grown wings.

This thing is exactly the same, so when the little girl came up, she admitted her mistake and caught a chirping cicada.

This thing has large wings, and it is much more active than the cicada chrysalis.

So when it fell into the hands of the little girl, it was obviously a lot more active, and she tried to flapp her wings and fly away.

The little girl's first reaction was of course to be scared, but she didn't let go, so she pinched this thing directly.

"Daddy, come and see, I've caught one, and it's got wings!"

The little girl's father not only wants to invite credit, but also wants her father to be courageous.

Jiang Yi also found a lot of adults when he was catching cicada pupa, so he hurriedly walked to the little girl and squatted down to look at the cicada in her hand.

"Put it away, it's inedible!"

Jiang Yi took the cicada and threw it casually, and the thing flew away in the wind. But in the night it is blind, and it can't run far!

After this little episode, the father and daughter continued to act.

As the capture in the trees progressed to a higher level, the little girl suddenly turned her gaze to the ground, ready to try to catch the cicada chrysalis from those holes.

Jiang Yi naturally cooperated with his daughter wholeheartedly, otherwise he wouldn't have brought such a big pot of water when he came out!

Then, Jiang Yi searched carefully on the ground over there, and soon found a place with four or five holes in the ground.

Jiang Yi squatted there with the little girl, and then lifted the lid of the pot and began to pour water into it.

It didn't take much water to pour before I saw movement in the holes, and in a few moments several familiar figures came out of the holes.

"yes, there you have it!"

Such a novel scene is enough to make the little girl excited for a while.

But Jiang Yi didn't stop, he continued to look for the kind of cave left by the mother worm, and continued to fill the hole with water.

In the end, the father and daughter walked around about one or two hundred square meters in this small poplar forest, and found a lot of cicadas.

Jiang Yi thinks that this is not good news, plus in addition to eating, things like cicadas have been branded as pests.

Therefore, killing and capturing their larvae is considered to be in accordance with the laws of nature.

More than an hour passed, and the father and daughter were also full of harvest, each of the two baskets, one large and one small, was almost half full.

For such a harvest, the little girl also made a testimonial, which is naturally about the little chubby girl in the north of the north.

Rui Rui's original words are:

"Great, Sister Beibei is blessed!"
