Chapter 177: It Works
The cricket cricket sounded on the side, but it was the little cricket who went and returned, not only came back, but also took the opportunity to bite on the loose earlobe, all bitten blood, I have seen mosquitoes sucking blood, but the blood-sucking cricket is the first time to see the world is not strange.
His good thoughts were actually exchanged for evil retribution, Zhang Daxian was so annoyed that he raised his foot and wanted to trample it to death, but after thinking about it, he still used a discarded mineral water bottle to put the cricket in it, death may not be the best punishment, but the loss of freedom is.
Ben Xian'er was unlucky, and even a little bug dared to bully me. The tiger is not powerful, you really think I am a sick cat? Benxian sentenced you to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life.
Hey, how can I be so kind!
Suddenly, he felt that the fire source stone suddenly heated slightly, and Zhang Chi was stunned in his heart, and the first thing he thought of was that there was an enemy tracking him.
Listening to it, there is no other movement outside except for the sound of wind and rain, tracing back to the source, the more than 100 points of fire value absorbed by the fire source stone just now actually came from this cricket, if it is a human being, the fire value of this 100 points is not unusual, but it is extraordinary from an insect.
On some levels, the firepower is directly proportional to the combat power, and this firepower represents its resentment and dissatisfaction with itself.
After the crickets were caught, they suddenly stopped chirping, and Zhang Daxian finally got clean and fell asleep again in the dense night rain.
However, it is easy to wake up from a good dream, and after sleeping for a long time, I was woken up by the movement outside, the rain had stopped, and the beam of light outside was shaking, which should be the light from the flashlight.
Zhang Chi hurriedly sat up, what he was most worried about now was that the kidnappers were chasing him, it stands to reason that he wouldn't, after all, he had escaped so far, but everything had a chance to be careful.
The bonfire on the side had been extinguished, and Zhang Chi picked up his shotgun and came to the window to look out.
But I saw two more figures outside, the two people were wearing raincoats and miner's lamps on their heads, and they came straight to the main hall, one of them said: "Xiao Wang, have you smelled incense?"
"Old Song, how is it possible? This Puyun Temple has been abandoned for decades, and no one will incense the Buddha except for the two of us. Xiao Wang's voice was interrupted by the wind and rain.
The one known as Old Song sniffed hard, he was sure that there was a smell of fireworks in the air, and said in a low voice, "There must be someone." The two of them used lights to shine on the hall at the same time, and Old Song Lang said, "Is there anyone?"
Zhang Chi didn't feel any hostility from the two of them, ruling out the possibility that they were kidnappers, guessing that these two people should be locals who came to take shelter from the rain, and it was a good thing to meet them, maybe they could find a way out through them.
After Zhang Chi considered it, he hid the shotgun, and then responded: "Yes!"
Lao Song and his companions were stunned for a moment, and then walked in, Lao Song shone Zhang Chi with a beam of light, and he deliberately lowered the beam to avoid irradiating Zhang Chi's face, which was also out of politeness.
Lao Song said: "Insect friends?" There are many insect friends who come into the mountains to catch crickets this season, and Lao Song is them, so they will ask. If it weren't for the fact that this temple had been abandoned for many years, there was a chance that Zhang Chi would be regarded as a monk in the temple.
Zhang Chi nodded, he returned to the extinguished bonfire, while lighting the fire, while carefully paying attention to the actions of the old Song and the two, although he did not feel the hostility between the two, but in the situation of not knowing the other party, it is better to be careful in everything.
Lao Song and his companion Xiao Wang came to help, their equipment was not advanced but very complete, and they carried with them a cassette stove that could light automatically, and with their help, the bonfire was quickly re-lit.
Lao Song and Xiao Wang took off their raincoats, and through the introduction of the two, Zhang Chi knew that the two of them were specially going into the mountains to catch insects, and they encountered heavy rain on the way, so they came here to take shelter from the rain.
Lao Song looked at Zhang Chi and said: "Little brother, if you touch into the mountains alone, you are bold enough, there are many beasts, snakes and insects on this mountain." ”
Zhang Chi smiled: "It's not a person, I came with six friends, I got separated from them halfway, and I encountered heavy rain again, and I got lost, fortunately I met this broken temple, and I was going to wait for the rain to stop and then find the way." ”
He lied as soon as he opened his mouth, and the IQ of a genius was not covered.
Xiao Wang said: "You don't look like you're catching insects." ”
Each line has its own line of equipment, whether the people in the industry can know it at a glance.
Zhang Chi said: "I'm just coming over to have a good time......" Before he finished speaking, the crickets in the mineral water bottle crowed.
Lao Song and Xiao Wang looked over at the same time when they heard the sound of insects, and when they saw the mineral water bottle, they laughed dumbly at the same time, in their opinion, Zhang Chi was an out-and-out layman, how could he use mineral water bottles to fill crickets?
When we met, Xiao Wang stewed a pot of dried bamboo shoots and bacon in a cassette oven, and beckoned Zhang Chi to eat together.
Zhang Daxian hadn't eaten officially for a few days, and he was already salivating when he smelled the aroma of dried bamboo shoots and roasted pork.
In the face of people's warm invitations, he was naturally disrespectful, took the pancakes handed by Lao Song and rolled them with salt beans, and ate them with fragrant dried bamboo shoots and roasted pork.
As he grew in size, his need for nutrition became more intense than ever.
Lao Song is a clear-eyed person, and he knows at a glance that this kid is hungry, but he doesn't have too many doubts about Zhang Chi, after all, he is just a young man, and his face doesn't look like a big traitor. It's hard to say whether it's a bug catcher, but it must be lost.
Xiao Wang was quite curious about Zhang Chi's cricket, and wanted to come over to take a look, but it was okay not to look at it, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
This cricket has a small head and cerebellum, blue and yellow, two-colored teeth, wings with plaster traces, and a slender cocked tail, which is full of malnutrition from head to tail.
Xiao Wang said: "Little brother, what are you going to do when you catch this little cricket?" He even felt that calling it by its scientific name was an insult to the cricket.
Zhang Chi can't say that he caught this cricket because it bit his own ear and sucked his own blood.
After all, he just told people that he is also a bug friend, and since he said it, he has to stick to the character of the bug friend to the end, he smiled: "Of course it's playing." ”
Xiao Wang wanted to say that he lost it, no one asked for this cricket to find money, but Lao Song stopped him with his eyes, and each flower was in his own eyes, and the most taboo between insect friends was to fight each other and slander each other.
Whether the crickets are good or not is not on the surface, they must fight with real knives and guns, and Lao Song can't look down on Zhang Chi's worm, but they are all playing with insects, so there is no need to be too mean.
He is an expert in this field, and every year in the beginning of autumn he comes to the mountains to catch insects, and his hobby is on the one hand, but also mainly for economic reasons. If you can catch good insects in the insect season from the beginning of autumn to Bailu, the selling price is enough for your family to live comfortably for a whole year.
Because there are more and more insects, the price of good crickets is also rising, last year's most expensive insect was sold for 150,000 in the songworm trading market, and more and more people entered this industry driven by interests, followed by fierce competition among peers.
In the past, the old Song Dynasty rarely went into the mountains to catch insects, and he was able to catch crickets of good grade in the ravines of his hometown, but now when it comes to the insect season, there are more insect catchers in his hometown than insects.
At night, insect catchers with miner's lamps can be seen everywhere in the fields.
The overcrowding factor is also secondary, and the main factor is environmental change, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers on a large scale has seriously affected the living environment of songworms while increasing agricultural yields.
In recent years, both the yield and quality of songworms have been declining year by year. Prosperity must decline, and it is estimated that there will be only a few years left for good days.
It was in such a situation that Lao Song chose to go into the mountains to catch insects and avoid the noisy army of insects, he was not the first, and he would not be the last.
Because of the rain, Lao Song and Xiao Wang's harvest this time was not rich, and they searched for two days and two nights in the ravine, and the hundred small bamboo tubes that the two brought with them were only half filled until now, and they were in average condition.
The old Song Dynasty glanced at the cricket and said, "Little brother, you can't make this bottle, the cricket is estimated to not survive tomorrow morning." ”
Zhang Chi looked down, the cricket was motionless in the bottle, shook the bottle, and the tentacles were still moving, but the listlessness was obviously lacking in vitality, as if it was going to hang up at any time.
Lao Song handed him a bamboo tube and taught Zhang Chi to pound the crickets into the bamboo tube.
Lao Song was enthusiastic, and offered to leave with them, and they could take Zhang Chi all the way to the Shidian Songworm Trading Market, where there was a long-distance bus station, and Zhang Chi could go home from there.
Zhang Daxian is good at observing words and feelings, plus he is already talkative, and he quickly became familiar with Lao Song Xiaowang, and for the sake of caution, he still insisted that he went into the mountains to catch insects, and he still had to have reservations before completely escaping the danger.
When people only talk about three points, they can't all share their hearts, and the scheming of this product is far beyond his biological age.
After the heavy rain stopped the next day, the three of them left Puyun Temple together, with Lao Song, an experienced guide, to lead the way, Zhang Chi naturally no longer had to worry about getting lost, this place was far away from the dragon kiln where they had been imprisoned before, and the kidnappers probably would not chase after them.
They set out at nine o'clock in the morning, and by four o'clock in the afternoon they had already left the vast forest.
Standing on the slope of the mountain, Zhang Chi looked at the town under the sun from afar, and his heart was excited. After hiding in the mountains for a few days, I finally returned to the world without danger, and I felt a little excited in my heart, and I found the feeling that I had just been relegated to the world, and it was better to live than anything else.
To say that the biggest gain from being tied up this time is that his Bone Cleansing Pill finally took effect, and in just three days, his height increased by about ten centimeters.
He also roughly estimated that Xiao Wang claimed to be 1.75 meters tall, and he felt that he was currently more fierce than him. The growth was mainly concentrated in the legs, and the pants that were originally just the right length have now become cropped pants, revealing two legs and necks, which is very eye-catching, as if the clothes were ripped off someone else's body.
