Chapter Forty-Eight: Catching the Scorpion IV
"Well, okay, girl, be careful."
While talking, millet and wheat, when they came back from school, Kezi took the pot, sent a bowl of fish to the third aunt's house, and came back with millet. As for Maizi, she was not in a hurry to follow today, because she made an appointment with the granddaughter of the grandmother's family to pick elm money, and the granddaughter of the old grandmother said that there was a tree on the southern slope that grew elm money, and for the wheat that was eaten, which was always larger than other induces, she immediately decided not to catch scorpions.
Gu Zi and Qing Barley, following Hongjun and Hongtao, soon came to the hill where Hongjun caught scorpions yesterday. Then the four of them immediately hooked up the stone, and the first stone found a small scorpion, although this little scorpion was not valuable, but it obviously gave her a lot of confidence, and she immediately felt for tonight's harvest.
According to Brother Hongjun, he began to rummage under the large clods of soil, the grass, and the small stones that leaned against the side of the big stones.
After turning over less than a dozen stones, I heard the corn calling, and I turned over to the big scorpion, and the nearby barley and Hongtao immediately ran to see it. Seeing that Gu Zi was taking out his chopsticks, he blew on the big scorpion that ran, the big scorpion shrunk its tail and honestly remained motionless, this is a particularly black belly, especially big, it should be a female scorpion. A good tail is golden yellow, and the big magnetic needle of the tail is black, which is much larger than the needle of the bee's tail.
Gu Zi very smoothly put her in the bottle, in the bottle, put some soil in advance, so that after entering, they will not crawl around, honestly stay in it, have not left the side of the grain, Hongtao also turned over the big scorpion, this time Hong Tao, ran over, barley, no, she immediately turned up the stone, turned over a few pieces, and also found a half-large, which made her immediately happy, just wanted to catch, but did not want to, this scorpion, reacted quickly, and ran to the stone next to it in the blink of an eye. The stone next to it is not particularly large, flattened, and the tree is not in a hurry, so put the chopsticks and bottle first, and then start to carefully hook the stone.
As soon as it was revealed, good fellow, there was actually a big green scorpion inside. This scorpion is really beautiful, with a flat belly, like a beautiful gentleman, and the tree immediately blew first, and then, quickly, clamped it into the bottle, and then went to catch the half-sized scorpion, for this half-sized scorpion, she couldn't help but be a little grateful, this is to buy a small and give a big one.
When she had laid it down, she immediately began to hook up the stones again, and for a while, everyone would always catch the scorpions, hook and hook, barley, and come to a pile of broken stones. Generally, most people believe that the probability of a scorpion under this broken stone is very small, and the general scorpion nest will also choose a huge stone underneath.
When he came to the north slope just now, Brother Hongjun pointed out that under the more than 100 scorpions he caught, there was a hole, and the scorpion nest was in it. Qing barley, I wanted to give up this pile of broken stones, Brother Ganghong Jun and the eldest sister walked here, there were no hooks, but she looked at it, under the stones, it seemed to be broken wood and dry grass, she couldn't help but want to hook a few times, try to see, at this time, the sun went down, and it couldn't catch the scorpion for long.
As soon as I hooked it twice, I immediately saw a large scorpion get into it. Under the broken stone, there was a big stone, she put the reef on the side and hooked it four or five times, and saw four or five scorpions at once, she immediately shouted, "Sister, Brother Hongjun, Hongtao, you come here, I seem to have caught the scorpion nest, let's catch it together"
When the three little ones heard this, they immediately came and ran over.
Four people, divided into four sides, began to the pile of stones less than one meter, began to hug on all sides, whoever saw the scorpion, who caught, after a while, each person, caught three or four, at this time the stone was hooked almost the same, below, there was a wooden board, Hongjun gently lifted, good guy, the following Chengran is full of big scorpions. Dense, there can be fifteen or sixteen, everyone immediately began to get up, in order to be afraid of the scorpion running, every year while catching while blowing the wind, more careful for fear of being stung by the scorpion.
After everyone finished catching, it was about to get dark, Hongjun handed his canned bottle to the barley, "This is for you" There are fifteen or sixteen big scorpions in it.
"Why give it to me"
"Hong Tao and I came to help just now, and you found the scorpion nest, so of course I have to give it to you. I looked at the Hong Tao on the side, and the two of us caught it, almost, when I had this can. You can't hold two bottles, you take this bottle back first, and I'll return it tomorrow."
"No, Brother Hongjun, we wouldn't have been able to catch us without you bringing us, would we?" Qing Barley hurriedly waved his hand, although these dozen or so big scorpions were worth five or six cents. For the children here, it is a lot of income, but Brother Hongjun can bring them where he knows that there are many scorpions, and they can't take advantage of other people's benefits in vain, these children are all conscientious people.
Gu Zi also immediately said, "Hongjun, this is not good, the scorpion is yours to catch." The next time the four of us come together, whoever finds the scorpion nest will catch it together, so everyone is happy, isn't it? ”
"Brother, why bother to let Sister Guzi and Sister Kezi come up, wait until the next time I find a big scorpion nest, let's catch it together, okay" Hongtao was on the side, and said in high spirits. It's as if it's easy to find a scorpion nest.
Hongjun saw that the two young ladies insisted on not wanting to, so he nodded, Okay, next time I find a place with a lot of scorpions, I will take you with me.
The four of them returned home happily, Millet and Barley returned home before dark, Maizi, as soon as the young ladies came in, they immediately shouted to see the scorpions, and when they saw that the young ladies had caught more than 20 big scorpions, Wang Dazhi was not calm.
"Are there so many scorpions in this North Ditch? I caught nearly two dollars at once, which is more than the amount of work she had to dig up dung."
"I knew I was going too," Maizi exclaimed with some regret.
Then he said to the grain, "Sister, let's catch it tomorrow after school."
Gu Zi shook his head, "On the hillside over there, we basically want to turn over all the stones, and even if there are, there can't be a few." If you really want to go, wait for the Saturday holiday, I see that there are a lot of gray cabbage at the bottom of the mountain, and when we go to catch scorpions, dig some wild vegetables as you go.
Throughout the evening, wheat, millet and millet looked at the scorpions excitedly.
Just then the big horn sounded. "Comrades villagers, comrades villagers, we will start to prepare for sowing seeds from tomorrow, we will start preparing to sow seeds from tomorrow, every household, every household, when you hear the whistle, you will go to work, and when you hear the whistle, you will go to work."
Hearing the whistle mentioned on the radio, the barley couldn't help but snort. "The first whistle is not bought, the second whistle sticks out to look, and the third whistle slowly shakes" seems to have started at this time.
