Chapter 505: Help the two bear children catch the interception monkey
The photos were also taken, and the steps were scattered, which delayed Mao Dan and Xiaomin a lot of time, but they were very generous, saying that they were tired of shooting, so they just took the opportunity to take a break and let the makeup touch-up.
At this time, it was already evening, and the western glow was red through half the sky. Mao Dan and his fiancée rested for a while, and the photographer said that he would take advantage of the beautiful sunset to take a few close-ups.
Li Qinglong was not interested, so he sent his wife Yang Yunu home first, and then prepared to send Mao Mao and Tong Tong back. After a day of playing, with his monster-like physique, he is a little tired, I really don't understand, why did these two children recover their spirits again?
At this time, the weather is cooler, and the lazy cicadas on the trees seem to have reached the time when the biological clock is active. One called, and there were many people of the same kind who followed the trend next to him, and in the blink of an eye, there were countless lazy cicadas screaming.
This kind of voice may make others irritable when listening to other people's ears, but for Li Qinglong, who is in a peaceful mood, the voice of the lazy cicada makes him show some playful smiles, as if he remembers the delicious food he often ate when he was a child.
Mao Mao and Tong Tong didn't have so many memories, nor were they so subtle, and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, uncle, it's a lazy cicada, there are so many screams today! I want a lazy cicada...... I've heard they're delicious! better than snails!"
Li Qingyun patiently explained: "Mao Mao Tongtong, those lazy cicadas have climbed to the top of very high trees, you, how can I catch them? Besides, these sloth cicadas that can scream have hardened and turned black, and they can't be eaten, and if you want to eat them, you have to catch the tender lazy cicadas that have just molted, or the larvae that have just crawled out of the ground to intercept the monkeys." ”
Actually, it won't be difficult to catch the sloth cicadas in the big trees, but now it's almost dark, and the ground is still a little muddy from the rain the day before, so the village is not easy to walk. Li Qinglong wanted to send Mao Mao and Tong Tong home as soon as possible. Complete today's task and go back to accompany my wife early.
"Uncle, if you don't help us catch lazy cicadas, we won't leave, just spend the night here. Seeing that Li Qingyun refused to help him catch the lazy cicada, Mao Mao suddenly became angry. Hold his thighs and don't get up. And Tong Tong is a girl, with a good personality, and generally does not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but just accompanies Mao Mao to make trouble and help beside her.
"Shout, I'm going to lose my temper!" Li Qingyun glared at Mao Mao, who was squatting on the ground and refused to leave, seeing that there was no deterrent effect, he sighed and compromised. "Okay, then I'll help you catch some, but next time, you must not lose your temper and threaten me at every turn, otherwise I will never play with you again. Hmph, once the farm gate is closed, you can't get in!"
The lazy cicada is the local name of Sichuan and Shu, and it is generally called "cicada" in writing. It is also called "knowing". Due to the wide distribution of cicadas, they are called differently in each place. They are: crawler, thumb, turtle, ante, cockroach, beep, cicada, sea, and so on.
Cicadas are a representative species of insects belonging to the family Cicadas. Males have articulators on their abdomen and can make a high-pitched sound continuously. Females do not make sounds, but have auditory devices in the abdomen.
The larvae live in the soil and feed on the roots of plants. Adults eat the sap of the plant. Cicadas are incomplete metamorphoses, consisting of eggs and larvae, which have undergone several molts and become adults without going through the pupal period.
Li Qingyun grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and his understanding of cicadas, that is, lazy cicadas, is more thorough than ordinary people. Because of the summer vacation, one of the rare delicacies.
When I was young, I woke up early in the morning and often climbed trees to catch sloth cicadas. If you climb a tree, the efficiency is not high, and then learn the practice of some adults, use a long bamboo pole, at one end to get some sticky things like bubble gum or gluten, and then take the bamboo pole to stick the sloth cicadas on the tree, as long as the technique is good, one sticky and one accurate, the speed is very fast.
The blackened cicada is already an adult, and after shedding its shell, it has grown wings, and its body has become hard, and if you eat it, it will prickly the throat and lose the characteristics of food.
Therefore, at that time, the blackened lazy cicadas were just used to play, and most of the white or yellowish lazy cicadas that had just been detached in the early morning, as well as larval interception monkeys, were fried and eaten.
Now Li Qingyun agreed to Maomao and Tong Tong's request, he didn't just want to catch a few lazy cicadas, he wanted to take advantage of the dark, there were larvae to intercept the monkey while the ground was wet and dark, just crawled out of the ground, if you catch more, not only can you eat yourself, but also let a few tenants on the farm taste it.
Nowadays, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and all kinds of animals and plants have been developed to cook and eat, and lazy cicadas are no exception. Several tenants on the farm are high-end customers, rich and powerful, and will also use mysterious spells, hunting and trying new things, which is more meaningful to them.
"Uncle is great! Long live uncle!" Ye ......" Hearing Li Qingyun promise to catch the lazy cicada, Mao Mao jumped up and down with joy, and Tong Tong also clapped his hands and applauded, and seemed to hear the sound of someone's saliva flowing down.
"You two bear children, there is really no way to take you, the speed of changing your face is faster than singing!" Li Qingyun wanted to quickly get rid of these two naughty eggs, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he directly put on the shelf and began to catch lazy cicadas and intercept monkeys.
Li Qingyun saw that the lazy cicadas were basically climbing on top of the tall trees, and only a few were attached to the one-person-high section of the tree, so he tried twice, but did not get close, and the lazy cicadas that were chirping flew away.
Li Qingyun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It seems that it is not so easy to catch some lazy cicadas. Playing with you today, I lost a lot. If there is anything delicious and fun in the future, don't forget me. ”
"Don't worry, uncle, I'll ask my mother to make something for me tomorrow, and I'll secretly hide some for you! Mom's braised pork is fragrant! It's just that it's inconvenient to bring out the braised pork, what should I do?"
"Uncle, my grandmother's cooking is so unpalatable, I don't have anything delicious for you...... Even the watermelons and tomatoes grown in the yard are not as delicious as those grown at home!"
The two children had their own entanglements, and for a while, they actually had a sad face, as if they felt that they owed Li Qingyun a great favor, and if they didn't give him some delicious compensation, they would be very upset.
Seeing this situation, Li Qingyun's heart softened, even if he had a great prejudice against these two bear children, they all disappeared at this time. Don't say anything, come up with mysterious means to help them catch lazy cicadas and intercept monkeys.
No matter how high you fly as a lazy cicada, we have the special power of a small space. As long as the attack range is in a small space. Wherever you point to it, there is no possibility of missing.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Qingyun was like a trick, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw a lazy cicada appear in the middle of his palm, squeaking and chirping. struggled, but couldn't escape his palm.
Seeing Li Qingyun's magical technique, Mao Mao and Tong Tong were so happy that they clapped their little hands and jumped up to applaud. Soon, Mao Mao and Tong Tong got a few lazy cicadas, which was too much of a hand addiction.
Li Qingyun's technique is very secretive, even if he is an adult, he only thinks of magic, and he can't think of it if he wants to break his head. There's a little space on him. In addition, it can use the special power of the small space to catch the lazy cicadas high in the treetops. And the two little children in front of them, they were just having fun and didn't care how these lazy cicadas got them.
The sky is getting dark, and the cries of the lazy cicadas have begun to subside, and the interception monkeys that broke through the soil appear silently on the roots of the trees, slowly climbing up. Prepare for the final metamorphosis.
"Now it's time to catch the monkeys. Li Qingyun said in his heart.
During the day, the monkey hides in the dirt beneath the roots of the tree, and when night falls. Especially in the moist land that has just rained, the trapping monkeys in the ground will come out one after another, climb the trees and begin to metamorphose. After a night of dew, the next day, the interception monkey experienced the most brilliant transformation of its life like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
So. If you want to catch the trapping monkey, the best time is when it is just dark.
In this way, Li Qingyun now took Mao Mao and Tong Tong to catch the interception monkey in the dim night. As long as there are trees, even small saplings. If you look closely at the roots, you will definitely be rewarded.
"Uncle, there's a trapping monkey there, and there's one on the leaf too!" Mao Mao had already thrown away the lazy cicada that was tired of playing crookedly, and was engrossed in catching the interception monkey.
"Uncle, look, a trapping monkey has just crawled out of the root of the tree, and there is a small one beside it. Is that its child?", the child cried out in fuss.
As for Mao Mao, Li Qingyun only needs to put what he refers to into a plastic bag. And Tong Tong's question was too naïve, Li Qingyun was too lazy to answer, and Mao Mao would help explain.
"Tong Tong, you are so stupid, that is not the child who intercepts the monkey, the one called Xiao Qingpi, which cannot be eaten, I heard that it is poisonous. "Maomao is like an adult, a serious explanation for Tong Tong.
It was the same kind as the cicada, but it was very small, usually one-third or one-quarter of the size of the captive monkey. The locals call it a small Qingpi, a small monkey and the like, after catching, it is generally fed to chickens and ducks, and people do not eat it. It is said that it is poisonous, and Li Qingyun has not carefully researched it, anyway, when catching and intercepting monkeys, he will take the initiative to ignore this kind of small clear skin.
Because the sky was completely dark, Li Qingyun was afraid that Mao Mao and Tong Tong would be touched by a fall, so he took out two small flashlights that had been thrown in the small space and gave one to Mao Mao and Tong Tong.
And Mao Mao and Tong Tong only cared about being happy, they took a flashlight to shine on those trees, and they didn't care how the flashlight came from, it was reasonable or unreasonable. Their attention was all focused on the small tree to see if there were any interception monkeys.
In less than half an hour, Li Qingyun, with the help of Mao Mao and Tong Tong, had already caught a few catties of interception monkeys, there were too many of them, as long as there were trees, there were almost a few of them, and they were trying to climb up.
I feel that the harvest is not small, it is getting late, and I have already met the children of the same village to catch the interception monkeys, they should have come out after dinner. One by one, they are full of energy, and when they find one, they will excitedly scream a few times and show off in front of their companions.
Li Qingyun shouted to the two children who were still unsatisfied: "Mao Mao Tongtong, don't take it, we have already caught a lot, it's time to go back, and the family should worry about you later." ”
"Uncle, Mao Mao still has to catch and intercept monkeys. Mao Mao, who hasn't played enough, is now holding a flashlight to shine on those big trees, once he finds the interception monkey, he almost doesn't need Li Qingyun to make a move, he can rush over alone, and he can pull down the interception monkey that has climbed to half a human height.
Tong Tong on the other side of the path, although she is a little girl, is now also playing wild, learning Maomao, she used a flashlight to shine on a low tree, saw that there were two interception monkeys on it, and was not afraid, rushed over and pulled it down, and shouted ostentatiously: "Maomao, look, I also caught two interception monkeys, ouch, come and help me, it caught my hand." ”
The two front paws of the intercepted monkey are not vegetarian, and even adults will feel pain if they clamp it hard.
As soon as Li Qingyun wanted to go over to help, Mao Mao rushed over first, roared, and pulled off the front paws of the trapping monkey, and then showed off to people triumphantly, saying that he saved Tong Tong once and was a little man.
Li Qingyun laughed and was about to say a few words to him, but he heard the mobile phone ringing. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from his wife Yang Yunu, quickly pressed the answer button, and said, "Wife, what's the matter?"
"Husband, you've been taking Maomao and Tong Tong out for a long time, why haven't you sent them back yet? The eldest sister and cousin thought that the children were still at our house, so they called the landline phone at home and asked when the children would go back. Yang Yunu's puzzled voice came from the other side of the phone.
Li Qingyun hurriedly explained: "That's the case, I'm now taking Mao Mao Tongtong to catch the interception monkeys, and now I have caught a lot, and I am about to go to the eldest sister's Qinghe Residence, and by the way, I will make a few plates of interception monkey feasts to try." ”
After saying these words, Li Qingyun said again: "Wife, let's not talk about it first, I will take Mao Mao and Tong Tong to Qinghe Ju first, and then I will bring you the prepared interception monkey to eat." ”
"Okay, husband, hurry up. ”
Li Qingyun hung up the phone, picked up his mobile phone and called his eldest sister and cousin, reassuring them, and quickly brought Maomao and Tongtong back to Qingheju.
When Li Qingyun was about to go back, Mao Mao and Tong Tong didn't want to go back, and even wanted to go to the farther forest with the children in the village to catch and intercept monkeys. There was no way, Li Qingyun had no choice but to sternly stiffen his face and scare: "Mao Mao Tongtong, you don't want to go back, right, then I'll go, wait for you to be eaten by wild beasts here." I heard that a few hungry wolves have recently escaped from the mountains, and they are very cruel and eat children's heads! Ouch, it's terrible......
"Uncle, don't leave the hair. ”
"Uncle, don't leave Tong Tong behind. ”
When Mao Mao and Tong Tong saw Li Qingyun turn around and leave, they were so frightened that they hurriedly trotted all the way, chased after them, and said soft words in unison.
"As long as you are obedient, I will not leave any of you behind, and if any of you are disobedient, I will leave any of you here for the beast to eat. Li Qingyun continued to threaten.
"We are obedient, don't leave us here to feed the beasts!" the two children were so excited that they found that it was dark around them, and they didn't even know where they were, and they were scared at that time.
Li Qingyun saw that the two bear children were soft, and he was secretly proud in his heart, and said in his heart that with our ability, we can play a group of Jianghu people around, and we can't clean you up?
With a smug heart, humming a little song, he took Mao Mao and Tong Tong to the direction of Qingheju. Two children, one tugging at his left trouser leg and the other at his right trouser leg, for fear that he would leave him to feed the beast. If a wild cat happens to pass by, it can scare them into screaming. (To be continued......) R1292
