Chapter 50 Catching a Praying Mantis and Being Bitten by a Centipede

Happy National Day, thank you for your support.

At noon, everyone went home, and Li Jiahao and the others also went home to cook. There was a fish feast at noon today, and there were a lot of fish in the square bucket, as well as the screws picked up by Li Jiahao.

Li Jiahao brought a basin and killed a carp and black fish twenty or thirty centimeters long, braised the carp at noon, and stewed the black fish.

Grandma poured the screws into boiling water, and after boiling them for a few minutes, the screws died, and some of the meat came out. Then put the screws in the basin and pour some cold water, so that your hands would not be hot when you pick them.

Wang Yichun and Grandma Zhang also came over to pick up screw meat. Li Jiahao brought bamboo skewers and began to pick screws one by one. There is a lot of strength in people, and it doesn't take long for a plate of screw meat to be picked.

After washing, Li Jiahao sat in the vegetable garden and cut some leeks, and waited for the next leek to fry the screws.

An hour later, the meal was ready, and the table was full of dishes, including fried screws with leeks, black fish soup, braised carp, stir-fried bacon with garlic, roasted pork with dried bamboo shoots, fried shredded pork with bracken, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and stir-fried vegetables. After eating, everyone came to the edge of the reservoir again.

The villagers who helped Li Jiahao work one after another also came, and the children also came. Jiahui led the baby elephant to eat grass on the edge of the reservoir, and Xiao Dian and Xiao Whirlwind ran around on the edge of the tidied reservoir.

The villagers who came early piled up the aquatic grass on the shore of the reservoir in the morning, and the children saw that their adults were busy, and some children also began to hug the aquatic grass and pile them together. When the adults saw the children pulling around, they said angrily, "You all go to play for me, and if I don't let you help, I will only help." ”

The children were scolded by the adults, and a group of children ran around. Seeing a seven-star ladybug on a blade of grass, Chen Renjie hurriedly grabbed one with his hand and played with it in his hand.

"Da Mao, you are optimistic about the big machete." Dawa pointed to the praying mantis on the ground and said.

I saw a green praying mantis on the ground, waving a pair of large pincers, two long antennae on the triangular head, a pair of big compound eyes on the top of the head, and the head of the praying mantis can rotate 360 degrees.

"Then let's catch it and play." Dawa said.

"Wait, the machete is going to eat the moth in front of him, don't move, catch it after eating." Da Mao said.

I saw it in the grass in front of the praying mantis. A small moth flies to a stop on a small grass.

I saw the praying mantis lying on the ground, looking left and right, its big eyes turning back and forth, and after a while, its wings were extremely open, its wings stood up, and its body stood upright, like a full sailboat. The wings stand on the back, and the upper end of the body is bent like a cane with a bent handle, and it rises and falls from time to time. There was a strange sound coming from his mouth, like the sound of a poisonous snake spitting out its breath. At this time, the praying mantis put the weight of its entire body on the hind foot, and the front half of the body was erected to make a fighting position. At this time, the forearms of its two mhetes were already open. Looking at the moth in front of him, the mantis remained motionless, and its eyes were aimed at the moth. At this time, the moth flapped its wings to signal that it was too late, and the praying mantis stretched out its forearm with lightning and grabbed it hard, and the moth was caught, and then ate it little by little with its mouth.

The praying mantis, which had eaten the moth, folded its wings, lay on the ground, and relaxed.

While the praying mantis was not paying attention, Da Mao first pressed the body of the mantis with his hand, and the praying mantis struggled desperately, slashing left and right with big pliers, but unfortunately he didn't cut it. Da Mao's hand slowly released again, pinched the mantis's pliers, and finally the mantis was caught. If you don't hold down the body of the mantis first, then the mantis will definitely turn and cut you, and after pressing the body, you must pinch the mantis's pliers again, otherwise it will cut you in the end, the most powerful thing about the mantis is its big pliers, the big pliers catch it much better, and you should also pay attention to the mantis's teeth, its teeth are also very powerful.

Grabbing the mantis, Da Mao cruelly broke off the mantis's big pincers, so that the mantis would no longer hurt himself, and broke off one of the mantis's teeth. Chen Renjie saw that Da Mao had a praying mantis, but he didn't, so he pouted and ran to Li Jiahao and said, "Uncle, I want a praying mantis too." ”

"Go find it yourself, I don't have time, I have to work." Li Jiahao was carrying the grass and small branches that everyone had cut in the morning to a pile.

"This is just for you." Da Mao said that he was going to give his praying mantis to Chen Renjie.

"I don't want it, you don't have big tongs anymore, I'm going to be good all the time." Chen Renjie pouted and said. ”

"Then let's find another one in the grass." Da Mao said with a smile.

Children began to look for praying mantis in the grass again, spring is generally rare, the most common season is autumn, but the temperature is higher in the south than in the north, and a few can be seen occasionally in spring.

Da Mao kept picking up the grass, Chen Renjie didn't understand, he was pulling everywhere, under the stones, under the leaves, and in the grass. The children worked hard to find a praying mantis for Chen Renjie.

"Ahh It hurts! "I don't know who yelled.

Following the prestige, I saw Chen Renjie holding one hand and the other, sitting on the ground and crying.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you, Chen Renjie? Da Mao heard Chen Renjie's cry and hurriedly ran to his side.

I saw Chen Renjie's swollen hand on the ground, like a steamed bun. The children heard Chen Renjie's cry and hurriedly ran over. At this time, Jiahui and Chen Jiayi also ran over.

"What did you bite you about?" Jiahui was older than them after all, and hurriedly asked.

Chen Renjie cried and pointed to a broken brick and said, "The insects inside bite it." ”

Jiahui hurriedly picked up the broken brick with a dead branch next to him, and there was a red-headed, black-bodied, yellow-footed centipede about ten centimeters below the brick. Only then did the children know that it was a centipede that bit Chen Renjie's hand.

Seeing the centipede, the children hurriedly picked up stones, broken bricks, and smashed them at the centipede, and the centipede was flattened by the children after a few clicks.

Although Chen Renjie saw that the centipede was killed, he sat on the ground and cried in severe pain, and his voice was extremely miserable.

"Go ahead, there's a kid crying over there, something must be wrong." Said the villager who was working.

Looking for prestige, I saw the children crowded in a pile, and the adults walked over and saw Chen Renjie sitting on the ground crying, his hands were red and swollen.

"Xiaojie, what's wrong?" Li Jiahao asked with concern.

"I was bitten by a centipede." The children pointed to the slain centipede.

"What? Get bitten by a centipede! Professor Chen and Wang Yichun said in unison.

"Take it home and wash the wound with soapy water." Grandpa hurriedly said.

Li Jiahao picked up Chen Renjie and went home. Grandpa hurriedly pulled out some houttuynia cordata, dandelions, etc., and applied them to Chen Renjie, and the rest of them followed home.
