The next day, Zhu Haitao was prepared very early, his heart was full of expectations, hoping to be able to harvest a full harvest, Chen Shu did not seem to be in a hurry, after all, he could catch more if he was not in a hurry, and this also started with the habits of the grasshopper. Because the better the sun, the happier the grasshoppers will call.

The sun climbed higher and higher, and he didn't drive off until after half past nine, originally thinking that Chen Shu still had many cages or something like that, after all, it was not easy to bring after catching it, but Chen Shu only brought a rope.

The Shahe River in the south of the village has dried up in some years, and even the embankment has long been flattened and turned into cultivated land, and occasionally you can see a ridge of more than ten meters or dozens of meters, indicating the existence of the embankment.

When I was a child, I couldn't see crops at all, only large patches of white sand and artemisia grass, or the number of aspen trees like shrubs, or perhaps because of the poor fertilizer efficiency of the sandy land, there were almost no trees that could grow to a height of more than three meters.

Cayenne galloped on the country road, and soon arrived at the original white sand beach according to the route of Chen Shu's impression, but what caught his eye was not white sand, but a huge pit with a depth of more than ten meters and a size of nearly 100 acres.

"Damn! How did you get such a big pit?" Zhu Haitao sighed.

"I dug up the sand, do you see that over there? There is sand mining and then backfilling, and it has been replanted. The sand has been sent to the construction site, and many semi-hangers have come here to pull sand. Originally, it was all white sand, and there were no crops at all. Our village is still small, and the big one has an area of several hundred acres. ”

"Later, the farmers applied farm fertilizer, and basically cultivated it for more than five years, and a fertile soil layer with a thickness of about 30 centimeters was formed, and then there was white sand. Groundwater appears in the sand quarry after digging a few meters further down. Chen Shu explained, then looked at the direction, continued to drive south along the path, and soon saw patches of slightly arched sand dunes.

"Fortunately, this piece hasn't been developed yet! just park the car over there, let's go over there. Chen Shu pointed forward, and Zhu Haitao drove all the way to the car, and the sand under the wheels was raised.

After the car was parked, the two of them got out of the car, and the cry of the gnats immediately reached the ears of the two of them, which made Zhu Haitao and Chen Shu excited, and it depends on luck if they can catch a few.

"How do you catch this? I haven't caught it. Zhu Haitao said.

"You look at me and grab it, this large piece is 'self-preserving locust', it seems that the scientific name is purple locust, lightly! After speaking, Chen Shu directly picked up two large handfuls of leaves, grabbed them with one hand, and followed the cry of the grasshopper into it, and Zhu Haitao followed closely behind.

Soon both of them found the target, the target's body was about five or six centimeters long, and the body was already a little gray, and the two short wings on his back kept rubbing together to make a pleasant sound. The sound stopped immediately when the two approached, and they had to slow down their approaching pace.

Chen Shu's two hands slowly stretched out, the leaves in his hands blocked the color of his hands, and his body approached little by little. Chen Shu was very patient, and after about half a minute, the two hands holding the leaves finally came to the grasshopper, and suddenly buckled the grasshopper with both hands, and quickly ran out of the purple locust here.

At least Chen Shu didn't feel that the gnats had escaped, and when he waited for an open space, his hands slowly parted little by little, slowly separating from the leaves, and soon found the location of the gnats. Hurriedly pinched his head with his hand and pulled it out of the leaves.

"Hahahaha! It seems that we are lucky today, but how can we get it?" Zhu Haitao knew that he didn't bring any tools when he came. Chen Shu didn't speak, and walked over to a field of white potatoes next to him.

I saw Chen Shu pinch off the white potato leaves, and then wrapped the body of the grasshopper, and the leaves wrapped the grasshopper into a small square bag, and then tied it directly with a rope.

"You won't suffocate to death, will you?" asked Zhu Haitao.

"No, this thing breathes out of the stomach, and it looks like it's tightly wrapped, and it's going to open its mouth in a while, but the body can't get out. Chen Shu smiled, then returned to the purple locust again and began to look for a target to catch the second one. Knowing how Chen Shu caught it, Zhu Haitao naturally started to try his skills.

The rural climate of Dingzhou is not as good as that of Tangshan, a coastal city, the closer to noon, the higher the temperature, and the more cheerful the grasshoppers in the field, Zhu Haitao naturally understood the reason why Chen Shu did not come out early. After Zhu Haitao grabbed one, he couldn't stop his excitement at all, and he didn't care about the scorching sun on his head at all.

When it was close to half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Shu caught nine, while Zhu Haitao only caught three, but he was still excited.

It's not early, it's time to return according to the plan, Zhu Haitao followed Chen Shu with a large string of "herbal bags" in his hand, and Chen Shu broke a purple locust and kept walking on the edge of the sweet potato field with his feet, and soon found a lizard running out. Chen Shu hurriedly chased after him and beat him with several branches, but the strength was not great.

The first time was not drawn, and then the second time, several times in succession, he was finally knocked out by Chen Shu, who was catching up. It was still twitching in his hand, and it was obvious that he was only injured and not dead.

"This ...... Do you bite people?" Zhu Haitao held the half-dead lizard.

"Biting, but not so strong, if the child may be bitten and hurt, let's forget it!" Chen Shu smiled, and then continued to walk along the sweet potato field, unfortunately not finding another one.

It seems that as my parents said, there are too many pesticides, and there are really not many of these little things, and it is already a stroke of luck to be able to catch one.

"Gone, back. When I was a child, there were a lot of these little things, I grabbed them and dug a pit in the sand and put them in, and then watched this little thing dig a hole, but I didn't expect that it is almost extinct now, and the pesticides are too powerful. Chen Shu frowned and walked towards the car.

When I got home, the meals were ready, and the new daughter-in-law did not have to eat at the same table with the family, and all the meals were brought to the bride's room by the mother-in-law or the groom, so as to avoid Zhu Haitao and the family eating together. After eating, Chen Shu and the two rested for more than an hour, and then drove into the car and officially hit the road, after all, there is still a long distance from Tangshan.

As an ancient city, although Dingzhou is only a county-level city, it has a very strong cultural heritage. After the "Ten Years of Catastrophe", a lot of damage has been lost, but there are still many monuments remaining. The two bought a lot of stewed seeds and hand sausages, and then drove the car into the Kaiyuan Temple.

Looking at the towering Kaiyuan Temple Tower, Zhu Haitao really had the idea of climbing to the top of the tower to take a look, as for the tickets are small money for both of them, Chen Shu took a few photos of him with his mobile phone to keep a souvenir, and then began to climb the tower.

Seeing the broken walls of the tower, Chen Shu felt a burst of anger, although he did not show it, but the remnants of the plundered cultural heritage are a constant reminder of the existence of civilization here.

"What's the missing piece on the wall?" Zhu Haitao asked curiously.

"The pagoda was completed in 1055 and is 84 meters high, and there have been many people who have written poems here in history, and the Buddha shrine inside is dedicated to the murals of the Buddha, which was later occupied because of the war. The walls with poems or the murals depicting the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were almost completely destroyed or removed along with the walls, as we see them now. Chen Shu spoke calmly, and Zhu Haitao listened carefully.

The higher the level, the narrower the stairs inside, and even the waist can't be straightened, Chen Shu's height of more than eight meters makes it even more difficult, but he still climbed all the way to the top.

Kaiyuan Temple Tower is still the tallest building in Dingzhou, looking down on the whole Dingzhou from the tower, there is a great excitement of overlooking the world.

As soon as the two came out of the tower, Chen Shu's mobile phone rang, and the number was Liu Jian's. Chen Shu has taken a leave of absence in the past few days, and it is said that there will be nothing wrong.

"Brother Chen, come back quickly, something big has happened to the company......" Liu Jian said hurriedly.
