At night, Yu Ge'er and the others, who left overnight yesterday, came to Xikou Village again.

Every night, the villagers who have worked all day will go to the recreation area in the south of the village to relax for a while to relieve the fatigue of the day. Adults set up tables and chairs, drank tea, drank alcohol, chatted about homely things, and children played around with the lights.

When the autumn insects are active, the entertainment area of the village surrounded by four pillars has become a lively fighting and weaving arena, both young and old, when the interest comes, they will go to the field to catch some weaving and fight with people. However, the villagers are not very competitive about it, and only use it as entertainment.

Only the occasional boy like Brother Yu'er, will use some attractive color to make the villagers have a competitive mind for the fight and weaving, but a good promotion of weaving is indeed hard to find, most of the villagers still watch a lively, and will not spend too much time to catch the weaving.

The fighting and weaving that has become the wind is also flocking to it. No, in the corner of the entertainment area at this time, there was a group of children surrounding Dongzi to watch his Sanduanjin kill in all directions.

Brother Yu also quietly came behind the children, looked at Dongzi with a smug look on his face, and said with a smile: "Dongzi, how about I pay two hundred taels today?" To sell or not to sell? ”

Dongzi turned his head to look at him and asked, "Then how much will you give out tomorrow?" ”

Yu Ge'er said without thinking: "Three hundred taels." ”

Dongzi grinned: "Then I'll sell it in a few days." ”

Looking at Dongzi with a cheap smile on his face, Brother Yu said viciously: "I'll catch the best crickets in a while, bite your Sanduanjin to death, and see if you can laugh." ”

Dongzi spread his hands: "I can't ask for it." ”

Yu Ge'er snorted "angrily" and turned to leave.

Next to the stream at the entrance of the village, Yang Qi was talking to Xu Ziling and a few others about the many doorways of fighting and weaving, from the head, face, wings, legs, color, and flesh of the fabric, to how to catch, how to feed, how to treat, how to fight, etc., talking endlessly and exhaustively.

The originally bored maid Yue'er, after listening to Yang Qi's explanation, also developed a strong interest in Dou Zhuweaving, and shouted to go with them to catch Zhuweaving. Ming Xia had also heard of Dou Zhuweaving in Bianliang, but he didn't have much interest in this kind of activity, and with them, he just wanted to stay with Xu Ziling.

Yang Qi was talking, but suddenly heard Brother Yu'er's ridiculous voice: "Qi Shao really knows a lot, but as soon as his cricket comes on the field, why is it gone?" ”

Hearing his words, Yang Qili stopped his mouth and stopped talking.

Seeing Brother Yu'er's spirited appearance, the maid on the side asked with a smile: "Is the cricket of Gongzi Geng powerful?" ”

Yu Ge'er laughed dryly, touched his head and said, "It's amazing, naturally there is, uh...... It's just that when I replaced the stinger tank, I accidentally crushed it to death. ”

Bingxue's clever maid didn't believe his statement, and dragged her crisp voice and let out a long "oh".

Listening to the maid's voice full of disbelief, Brother Yu laughed a few more times and patted Yang Qi's shoulder: "Let's go, Qi Shao, with Brother Xu's help today, I will definitely be able to find a lot of good goods." ”

Xu Ziling was a little puzzled by this, he was just a chick in this regard, why did Geng Jingyu value him so much? However, after two days of observation, Yu Ge'er's frivolous temperament can be seen at a glance, and he is considered to be lifting himself.

After a while, he took several pairs of nets, bamboo cages and other tools to catch and promote weaving, and ordered his entourage to wait at the entrance of the village, and Yu Ge'er led a few people to the fields outside the village.

The farther you go into the field, the clearer the sounds of frogs and insects become.

Xu Ziling listened carefully and found that the sound of insects was many and chaotic, and he felt that he was all around, but he couldn't tell the exact location.

But it was Yu Ge'er who took the lead. He walked to a low dirt slope and squatted down, holding the net in his left hand and digging up the mound with his right. After a few diggings, a hole was revealed under the soil, and a small black shadow popped out.

Yu Ge'er's eyes were quick, and he covered it at once. Xu Ziling saw that he seemed to have gained something, and slowly surrounded him. I saw that Yu Ge'er took out a small bamboo cage again, opened the cotton stopper at one end, opened the special opening of the net cover, and then docked the bamboo cage mouth with it, slowly forced the crickets into the bamboo cage, and finally closed the cotton stopper.

Brother Yu caught a weaving promotion like a cloud, which surprised Xu Ziling and the others. Yang Qi saw the appearance of the crickets inside clearly through the gap in the bamboo cage, and shook his head gently: "It's just an ordinary cricket, the tooth tongs, limbs, legs, and wings are all in a flat posture." ”

Brother Yu glanced at it a few times, did not refute Yang Qi's words, and directly opened the bamboo cage and released the cricket. seemed to admit Yang Qi's words.

Then Yu Ge'er concocted the same method in the nearby mound, and caught a few more crickets, but he also looked at them a few times and put them away.

Watching Brother Yu catch and release again and again, Yang Qi reminded: "You can't search like a needle in a haystack like this, most of the crickets here are only pests, and they can't be used as fighting crickets." You still have to listen carefully to their calls, the call of the insect king is vigorous and strong, and it is obviously different from the cry of ordinary crickets, and it should be heard. ”

Yu Ge'er stopped the movements in his hand, scratched his eyebrows, and said sarcastically: "Qi Shao is familiar with "Autumn Insect Spectrum" and "Promoting Weaving Sutra", but he knows a lot, but the sound of frogs and insects in this field comes and goes, different sizes, and the cry of the insect king is strange, with our ear power, can we distinguish clearly?" ”

Yang Qi asked weakly, "Aren't the five senses of you martial arts practitioners stronger than ordinary people?" ”

Listening to his self-righteous inquiry, Brother Yu grabbed him and sneered: "No matter how strong your skills are, you are still human, how can you hear it." ”

A clear voice suddenly said, "I seem to be able to hear the difference in their calls." ”

Xu Ziling looked at her in surprise: "Can you hear Mingxia?" How can I only hear a jumble of screams. ”

Seeing everyone staring at her, Ming Xia was a little embarrassed, but she still said generously: "I used to learn to play the piano in the teaching workshop, and I found that my ability to distinguish timbre is beyond ordinary people, which can be regarded as a talent." Now I listen to the crickets chirping, and I feel messy, but if I listen closely, I can still make out some different places inside. Say there."

As he spoke, he pointed to a bush and continued, "I think the crickets there are sharper and louder than other crickets. ”

Yu Ge'er followed her direction to a bush, and before she could look at it, the crickets in the grass seemed to sense the movement and jumped out. However, after all, Brother Yu is a master of entering the house, and no matter how fast the cricket moves, it still can't escape Brother Yu'er's lock.

saw Yu Ge'er throw a net cover in the air, intercepting the cricket from mid-air, and then forcing it into a small bamboo cage as before.

Yang Qi walked over and saw a pair of black teeth of the crickets bent like wheat and as black as carbon, and said excitedly: "Black steel tongs!" ”

Brother Yu, who was holding the bamboo cage and watching carefully, was also full of energy: "Miss Li can really tell the difference!" This cricket is amazing, but unfortunately it was damaged by the net, but it can still fight. ”

The maid Yue'er was also very excited to know that her young lady had such a ability. walked to Brother Yu'er and took a pair of nets and small bamboo cages, trotted to Ming Xia's side, pulled her sleeves, and asked with a wistful face: "Miss, listen again, are there any crickets with good sounds?" ”

Ming Xia chuckled and shook her head: "No, I can't hear it now." ”

Xu Ziling saw that Ming Xia could really hear the difference in the cricket calls, and he was also interested, and said to Ming Xia: "Let's go, Ming Xia, let's take a walk around the neighborhood to see if there are any powerful crickets." ”

So he took Mingxia to walk around the area with strong insect chirps. Yue'er saw Xu Ziling holding her young lady's hand, glared at him with a small mouth, and followed.

Brother Yu and the others also wanted to see more insect kings, so they put away the bamboo cage and followed.

However, Xu Ziling took Ming Xia for a long time, and she always shook her head. It's like the insect king who has no chirps around.

Xu Ziling was a little puzzled and said, "Could it be that there is a good cricket around this village?" ”

Yang Qi retorted: "That's not the case, some insect kings will only chirp a few times a night, and they don't care to compare their crickets with other crickets. ”

"I see, no wonder the insect king is hard to find." Xu Ziling said suddenly.

glanced at Ming Xia, but Xu Ziling found that her face was a little sleepy, and suddenly remembered that she had been listening to the strange cricket cry in the noisy voice for a long time, and she must be tired.

Seeing that she had endured it for so long for her own interest, Xu Ziling said distressedly: "Mingxia, let Yue'er accompany you back to rest for a while, and I will accompany Brother Yu'er and them to catch them casually for a while." Seeing Xu Ziling's caring gaze, Ming Xia nodded and asked Yue'er to accompany her back to the village. Although the maid was a little interested in the crickets, she still had the most important thing in her heart, so she returned the net bamboo cage and accompanied the young lady back to the village.

After Mingxia left, Yu Ge'er began to search for a needle in a haystack again. Xu Ziling and Yang Qi, like him, also began to catch crickets around them with their senses.

After searching aimlessly for an hour or two, the three of them harvested some crickets that could be used as fighting crickets, but most of them were middle-to-upper qualifications, far inferior to the black steel tongs that were caught first.

After a long time, there were no more goods that could enter the eyes, and Yu Ge'er was also a little bored, so he asked Xu Ziling and the others to clean up and prepare to go back. Fortunately, there is a high-quality cricket black steel tongs, and Yu Geer was not disappointed too much, and there were also talks and jokes along the way.

It was already late at night, and the people who came out of the village for the night life all returned to the house, only Yu Ge'er and Yang Qi's entourage were still waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

When Xu Ziling and the others returned to the village, they found that there were still two people playing in the entertainment venue in the south of the village. When I looked at it in the past, it was Dongzi and Yue'er.

The maid Yue'er was holding a small bamboo stick, teasing the crickets in the clay pot on the table, and Dongzi was watching.

Xu Ziling glanced at the clay pot curiously, and was instantly stunned.

The cricket's legs are as blue as the sky, but the wings on its back are as blue as the trees in the mountains, and the long tentacles are also blue and blue, and the whole body is bright and dazzling, shining under the light of the oil lamp, which makes people can't help but look at it.

Like the jade man who saw the city.
