Chapter 32: The Hooded Frog

After the rain, you need equipment to catch loaches and yellow toads, and you need equipment to catch frogs at night, of course Qiubai has done this kind of thing before, the equipment is still there, although it is dusty, it can still be used.

In fact, it can't be called catching frogs at night, it is called covering frogs, it is also called taking care of frogs, and the equipment required is relatively simple, a high-power lighting, two net pockets, one net pocket is used to cover frogs, and one is used to hold frogs.

At night, the frogs will swim up from the water to enjoy the coolness, most of them stay on the field stalks, carefully pass from the field stalks, if you see the frogs, shine on it with a lamp, the frogs will be stupid and will not move, as long as the movement is not very big, almost all will come to the catch, compared to the daytime fishing frogs, more frogs can be covered at night, this is also the reason for the sharp reduction of frogs in the past few years, frog meat is delicious, there are more people who eat, there are a lot of people who do this, one and two goes, some rural fields can not hear the frog cry nearby.

In the past few years, there were no frogs near Happy Village, and they were almost caught, but in recent years, as young adults went to work in the city, there were gradually fewer people catching frogs, and frogs began to multiply again, gradually recovering the previous grand occasion, and the frogs were endless, and there were more frogs, more snakes, and fewer grasshoppers and locusts.

"You take this net, and when you catch a frog, put it in it." Qiu Bai handed Zhao Qingcheng a net bag.

Zhao Qingcheng took it and said excitedly: "Okay, but brother, why don't you use a bamboo basket, it's so easy to carry." ”

"Stupid." Qiubai was not in a good mood, so he scolded directly: "Have you ever seen a rural area where frogs are sold in bamboo baskets?" It's either a snakeskin bag or a net bag, do you know why? Because the frog's surname is strong, it can also be said to be a tendon. ”

"Ah, what do you mean?"

"Let's put it this way, if you put the frog in the bamboo basket, or after a while the frog will hit its head and bleed, because it will keep jumping and hitting the bamboo basket and not looking back, so if you dare to put the frog in the bamboo basket, it will be killed alive in the end."

"Is that so? I've seen a lot of restaurants sell them in the sink, why don't they jump? ”

"That's a bullfrog, not a frog, and one is artificially bred, the other is wild and grown, bullfrogs are fat, they can't jump if they want to, frogs are much smaller than bullfrogs, there are almost no frogs that can exceed four taels, and the surname is also very wild, if you dare to put this kind of frog in the tank, then wait to be hit and killed."

"I see, I didn't know it before."

"There are many things you don't know, let me remind you first, don't complain later, the frog cover at night is not as beautiful as you imagined."

"Can it be as hard as receiving tiles this afternoon?"

Qiubai smiled: "Hehe." ”

Qiubai changed his long clothes, changed his pants, put on knee-high rain boots under his feet, and covered his whole body tightly, looking quite weird on this summer night, Zhao Qingcheng couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what are you doing here?" Aren't you hot wearing so much? ”

glanced at her, originally wanted to make Zhao Qingcheng suffer, but after thinking about it again, he forgot it, found a pair of sneakers and socks, and threw them to Chengcheng, "Put them on, and then put the trousers in the socks." ”

"Why?"

"If you want to change it, you can change it, where are so many words, if you don't want to get all over the bag."

Orange Cheng was quite obedient and quickly put it on, but after changing it, he asked why again, and Qiu Bai explained slowly: "There are a lot of mosquitoes outside at night, and there are many insects, as long as people move around, they will attract mosquitoes to bite people, and it is impossible to prevent them, in addition to live, there are plants, such as rice, beans, and weeds, even if the body does not contact them, there will be something falling on the body, itching is not good, even I can't stand it, let alone you." ”

Qiubai still has one thing to say, if you go out at night, even if it is a big summer, it is best to wear shoes, because it is easy to step on a snake and then be bitten by a snake, if you put on shoes, the snake will not bite and wear shoes, if you don't wear it, step on a poisonous snake then wait to cry, maybe you will be poisoned to death.

Both of them got their equipment ready, and then they walked outside, and Orange Orange jumped behind Qiubai, with an excited expression as if they were going on an adventure.

"Let's go across the river." Qiubai thought about it and decided how to go, there are paddy fields on the other side of the river, and there are obviously more frogs singing over there, so Orange Orange naturally won't say anything.

After crossing the river, just walked on a field stalk, a frog fluttered and jumped into the water, Qiubai didn't see the frog squatting somewhere, naturally it was missed, after all, some frogs are smarter, hidden in the darker grass, not easy to see, orange orange in the back wow, very regrettable.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be in a while, many frogs will squat on the field stalks, take your time." As a rural person, Qiubai has patience.

The first field stalk did not catch the frog, this field stalk is full of beans, almost covered the field stalk, to go over the first to pick up the bean bush, such a big movement of the frog has already run, although not caught, but the plopping diving sound proves that the number of frogs is extremely large, this is a good phenomenon.

The second field stalk has fewer beans, it is very narrow here, Qiubai just walked up, suddenly stopped, he had already seen a yellow ghost squatting on a small stone two meters in front of him.

Frog is a general term for frogs, and the yellow ghost is also one of the frogs here in Qiubai, because the body color is yellow, it looks a little weird, so it is called the yellow ghost by everyone, although the name sounds a little scary, but the yellow ghost is more tender than the green frog in the eyes of the frog eater, so the price is also a little higher.

Illuminated by the searchlight, the cucumber was still unaware, still puffing out his cheeks and croaking non-stop, Qiubai moved his steps gently, held his breath and concentrated, and when he approached the yellow ghost a meter, he suddenly took a big stride, and the net pocket in his hand covered the yellow ghost, I thought that this time it was nine out of ten, but the yellow ghost jumped up at the moment of a moment, dodged the net pocket, jumped into the paddy field, and disappeared.

"Oh, that's a pity." Orange Orange said regretfully in the back.

Qiubai is a little embarrassed, this is a disadvantage for the teacher, it seems that he has not caught a frog for many years, and his skills are not very flexible.

The second time I found that the frog was not far away, this time it was a larger frog, it was estimated that there were three taels, Qiubai fished it over, and before it got to it, this guy kicked on his two powerful hind legs, and jumped into the paddy field first, and croaked, as if he was laughing at Qiubai.

"Brother, why don't you come?" Orange Cheng said behind him, after all, this is a job without much technology, relying on a quick eye, Orange Orange can get a double doctorate at the age of eighteen, needless to say, the degree of intelligence is needless to say, only after watching it twice, I understand how to grasp it.

Qiu Bai handed the searchlight and net bag to Cheng Cheng, and took the net in her hand, "Cheng, then you can try it, by the way, you have to be careful before you go, shine more on the lights, there may be snakes on these field stalks." ”

Orange Cheng happily took it: "Hey, I know, where there are more frogs, there are more snakes, of course I understand." ”

Seeing that there was no discoloration on Orange Orange's face, Qiu Bai couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid of snakes?" ”

"What kind of snake do you have to see? The poisonous surname is fierce, and it is naturally afraid, but there seems to be no snake more terrible here, mostly non-poisonous snakes, there are not many poisonous snakes, even if it is poisonous, it is not a very poisonous surname, and many snakes belong to the type that will attack people unless you provoke it, and there are few snakes that take the initiative to attack people, so I am not afraid. ”

"There are very few girls who are not afraid of snakes."

"That's another girl, I studied biology, so I know very well that snakes are just different from other creatures, so of course I won't be afraid, just like many people are afraid of corpses, but if I learn forensics, I won't be afraid."

Qiu Bai suddenly dared to feel that he was really worried about it just now.

There are many frogs on the field stalks, and Orange Orange stopped suddenly halfway through, and Qiubai looked at it, a frog was hiding in the grass, although the body was green, and the grass was the same color, but this frog was also quite big, and the belly turned white, so it was clear at once.

Orange Orange followed the example of Autumn White, approached lightly, and then took a sudden step towards the frog net, and the frog jumped into the net pocket and was caught by Orange Orange.

Uh, Qiubai was speechless, and said that this girl's luck is too good, the net pocket is obviously not under the cover, but a little off, who knows that the frog jumped stupidly, but it hit it crookedly.

"Yay." Orange Cheng made his first move, his face was full of smiles, and he handed over the net pocket, and Qiu Bai grabbed it and put it in his net, and praised it: "Yes, better than me." ”

Orange Orange was praised by Qiu Bai, and she couldn't look at it with a smile.

Next, Qiubai found that Orange Orange's combat effectiveness can be described as explosive, it is really fast-eyed, sometimes it is clear that there is no net, the frog has jumped away, Orange Orange backhand pocket can catch the frog in the air, two field stalks have passed, Orange Orange has caught ten frogs, none of them missed.

"Girl, what did you do before? You've caught frogs, right? Qiu Bai couldn't help but ask, this girl is simply more powerful than many veterans.

"No, this is the first time I've caught it."

"And what about you?"

"I usually exercise a lot, so I'm a little more flexible." Orange Orange said, suddenly raised his legs, directly raised his legs above his head, and came a word horse, and Qiu Bai's eyes widened.

It's not just a little more flexible, it's just too flexible, so flexible that Qiubai is ashamed of himself.
