Chapter 007: Catching the Monkey
The lame mother-in-law saw that Wu Chengfeng looked righteous and awe-inspiring in order to prove her innocence, and she couldn't find any flaws. Although the lame mother-in-law is old, she is not confused. The lame mother-in-law clearly remembered that before Wu Chengfeng and Wu Xiaodong went, there was still a bag of melon seeds on the counter, and after they left, the melon seeds were gone, and the lame mother-in-law intuitively told herself that the melon seeds were stolen by these two students. But the lame mother-in-law has no evidence now, and she can only suspect it. The lame mother-in-law glared at Wu Chengfeng and Wu Xiaodong, and said angrily: "You just eat melon seeds, and you won't be better in the future!" After the lame mother-in-law finished speaking, she left angrily. Wu Chengfeng and Wu Xiaodong looked at each other and smiled, and after school, they found a place where no one was there and ate the melon seeds.
In the 90s, the countryside was still relatively backward, and Wujiazhai at that time had already been connected to electricity, and it was not far from the beautiful vision of "electric lights and telephones, upstairs and downstairs". Rural people are more frugal, can save a point is a point, in the summer, also reluctant to turn on the fan, many people with mats with children under the village under the tree blowing the evening breeze. Wu Chengfeng sat at the entrance of the village with his mother, holding a big pu fan in his hand, struggling to shake the cool breeze.
"Kaede-chan!"
Wu Chengfeng heard someone shouting at him, turned his head, and saw clearly that it was Wu Libo by the moonlight. Wu Libo held a bamboo pole more than one meter long, a flashlight and an empty glass jar. Wu Libo's father drove a car to collect grain in Sanli and Wuxiang, and made a lot of money, this glass jar is for canned fruit, Wu Chengfeng has never eaten this kind of canned food.
"Libo, why are you going?" Wu Chengfeng asked suspiciously.
"Go catch the monkey!" Wu Libo said excitedly: "Xiao Feng, let's go together!"
In the 90s, there were many trees on both sides of rural roads and village roads, and in the evening, those monkeys came out to molt and become cicadas. I know that the taste of the monkey is very delicious, and if you fry it, it is better than pork and chicken. People in the countryside often take advantage of the darkness of the night to look for monkeys everywhere with flashlights.
Wu Chengfeng explained to his mother, and went to catch the monkey with Wu Libo. There are lights flashing from time to time on the main road at the entrance of the village, and those who have basically caught the monkeys are people. Although there are many people who have caught monkeys, it is impossible to catch monkeys. As soon as the man walked on his front foot, he saw a monkey crawl out of the dirt on his hind foot. After the monkey crawls out of the soil, it will climb up the trunk of a tree or a meter of corn growing in the ground, climb to a position that they feel safe, and slowly molt and become cicadas.
After a while, Wu Chengfeng and Wu Libo caught more than a dozen monkeys, Wu Chengfeng held a glass jar in his hand, and listened to the monkeys crawling in the jar, making a rustling sound, as if it was a beautiful piano music.
At this time, there were also lights flashing in front of me, and someone came to catch the monkey.
"Xiao Feng, let's go faster. Otherwise, it will be snatched away by others!" Wu Libo finished speaking, and Wu Chengfeng and Wu Chengfeng quickened their pace and walked forward.
When the person on the other side approached, Wu Chengfeng saw clearly that it was Wu Kai from the fifth grade and a boy from another village. This boy Wu Chengfeng and Wu Libo also know each other, he is Wang Guodong from the neighboring village. Wang Guodong's mother Wu Jiazhai, he is the same age as his cousin Wu Kai, he often comes to Wujiazhai to play, and he lives in Wujiazhai during holidays, so Wu Chengfeng and Wu Libo both know Wang Guodong.
"Here's one!" Wu Libo exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Chengfeng followed Wu Libo's light, and sure enough, at a height of more than two meters in the poplar tree, he saw a brown monkey, which was slowly crawling upward. Wu Libo lifted the bamboo pole and gently pulled it, and picked it down. Wu Libo hurriedly used the lamp to look for the fallen monkey, and soon found out, he was very happy, and he was about to catch it. At this moment, a hand snatched the monkey away in front of Wu Libo. With the help of the light, Wu Libo saw that it was Wang Guodong who snatched the monkey.
Wu Libo was anxious, and said loudly: "This is the monkey I picked down, how did you rob me?"
Wang Guodong glanced at Wu Libo and said, "How can you prove that you picked this monkey from the ground?" I said that it was clearly just drilled out of the soil!"
"You ......" Wu Libo was speechless, he watched Wang Guodong put the monkey into his plastic bag, angry and anxious, but helpless.
"Forget it! If you know about monkeys, don't quarrel with them!" Wu Chengfeng persuaded.
Because no one has evidence for this matter, if there is a fight, Wu Chengfeng and they are also dumb and eat Coptis chinensis Now they have no choice but to swallow their anger.
Wu Libo was not angry, he looked at the backs of Wang Guodong and Wu Kai, and cursed loudly: "Whoever robs someone else's monkey without reason today will be hit by a car and killed!"
"Hmph!" came Wang Guodong's cold snort in front of him.
"These two guys, they're really crazy!" Wu Libo said to Wu Chengfeng dissatisfied.
"Okay! Don't complain! Another day, let's call Shang Xiaodong and Zhan Qiang, and clean up these two boys!" Wu Chengfeng comforted Wu Libo.
"Okay!" Wu Libo showed a little appearance.
"Squeak!"
"Bang!"
There was a sudden sound of emergency braking and a crash from behind, which startled Wu Chengfeng and Wu Xiaodong.
Wu Chengfeng looked behind him, and he saw a car crashing into a big tree on the side of the road not far away. The car had its lights on, and it was not known how the casualties were.
Wu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Libo, let's go over and see if we have bumped into anyone!"
Although Wu Libo was a little scared, the young man was curious after all, so he still walked over with Wu Chengfeng.
Wu Chengfeng took a closer look, and he was frightened. I saw a truck crash into a waist-thick poplar tree on the side of the road, and the front of the car knocked the poplar tree slanted. Behind the truck, there was a man on the ground, and the wheels should have rolled over his head, and it was no longer possible to see the head. Next to the deceased was a plastic bag, which looked familiar, as if it was the plastic bag that Wang Guodong had filled with monkeys. There was a long blood mark on the ground, which looked a little glaring. There were three people standing next to the deceased, and one of them turned out to be Wu Kai. At this time, Wu Kai's face was pale, like a fool, demented, and trembling uncontrollably.
Beside Wu Kai, there were two middle-aged men, who looked at the dead bodies on the ground and were also frightened.
Wu Chengfeng already recognized the deceased as Wang Guodong from his clothes and figure. A person who was still alive just now, said no, it was gone.
At this time, the people in the village who had caught the monkey nearby all inquired and rushed over. Wu Chengfeng looked at Wu Libo, who was frightened, and said, "Libo, let's go quickly!"
Wu Libo was also very scared in his heart, he and Wu Chengfeng were chased as if they were being chased, and the two of them trotted all the way to the village.
