Xiaocao was tightly held in Bao Gu's arms, while trying to avoid the cold wind of the cold night, and on the other hand, she was embarrassed to really squeeze on Bao Gu's chest, which made the whole person embarrassed, and Bao Gu was still very hard, making Xiao Cao a little breathless, but Xiao Cao was reluctant to leave Bao Gu's arms, so that the whole little face was red and red, and her heart was beating non-stop......

Aunt Bao is nothing unusual, in her opinion, she is just holding a little girl, and it is normal for her to use her body temperature to keep her warm, and she is also worried that Xiaocao can't stand the cold wind by the river, so she has a little strength, but she herself didn't think that a little hard work of a practitioner like her has made Xiaocao a little breathless......

Fortunately, the cold wind is getting colder and colder, and it keeps drilling into people's sleeves, so that Aunt Bao also realizes that it is better to hurry up and light the bonfire again!

Therefore, Bao Gu thought of lighting a fire again to warm herself and Xiaocao, and at this moment, there seemed to be movement on the surface of the river......

Really! Not long after, something as thick as an adult man's finger suddenly stretched out from the water below the wooden raft, so dense that it continued to emerge from the water, and if you look closely, it is a row of four, like the feet of something!

Then the hard-shelled animals as big as a big bowl quickly emerged from the water, and when they looked closely, they had eight legs and two large pincers!

One, two, three, and then they came out of the water in droves, and they even scrambled to climb up the rafts!

Through the firelight and moonlight, Xiaocao saw this creepy scene with his own eyes, those things crawling horizontally, one by one, holding their double crows, the image is very vicious and terrifying!

Especially some of the big ones, even the size of the palms of two or three adults combined!

"Sister...... That's what you're talking about? It's scary......"

"Well, it's much bigger than I've seen in the south, maybe you northerners don't eat this, these guys can grow so big!"

"Sister, do you really want to eat them? They don't look like they're easy to mess with, and they don't look like they're delicious......"

"Xiaocao, you don't understand, hehe, you haven't eaten this thing before, it tastes good, if it is accompanied by some meat sauce, the taste can make you never forget, as long as you see it, it can make your appetite move!" Well? Xiaocao, you really haven't eaten it or seen it?! ”

"No...... I don't want to eat it either, it's disgusting to look at, they look so ugly, how can they be delicious......"

"Haven't you heard the story of Dayu's water control?"

"I've heard that! But what does it have to do with Dayu's water control? ”

"Of course it has a relationship, you listen to me, when Dayu went to the south of the Yangtze River to control the water, he sent a strong man to supervise the area of land and water and excavate the Haikou River, but I didn't expect it, at night, the mouth of the shed just lit a fire, and the fire attracted a large piece of black pressure insects, and they spit foam like a lake surging in their mouths!" (Modern people will also light something to the bottom of the river first when catching crabs, which seems to increase the temperature to attract crabs to climb up)

Xiaocao listened to Aunt Bao's story, and then looked at the insects on the opposite side, and immediately said with a pale face: "They ...... Do they still eat people? That's why it's called a trap worm? ”

Bao Gu felt funny when she saw Xiaocao frightened by her story, so she simply continued to add fuel and vinegar to the description: "Yes! Of course it's going to eat people! Otherwise, how can you call it a trap worm!? It is said that these insects that attacked the PLO directly extinguished the fire with the foam in their mouths, and many people were killed and injured by them, and the flesh and blood were drenched and miserable! ”

Hearing this, Xiaocao did not hesitate, stood up from the ground, and grabbed Bao Gu's arm to pull Bao Gu up, and then shouted in fright while pulling: "Sister, run, I see that those insects seem to be coming ashore, let's run for our lives!" ”

Seeing that Xiaocao didn't forget to pull herself to escape for her life after being scared like this, Aunt Bao's heart was also inexplicably warm, and even her good impression of Xiaocao deepened a lot, especially when she saw Xiaocao being so scared now, she was a little embarrassed to scare her anymore, so she quickly stopped: "It's okay, didn't my sister say that she wanted to eat them to replenish her body?" Wait, I'll catch a few for you! ”

Aunt Bao put down this sentence and ran to the side of the wooden raft, and began to carefully use the moonlight and her own extraordinary eyesight to select a suitable sandwich worm!

Xiaocao saw that Aunt Bao not only had no intention of escaping, but also rushed to the side of the wooden chop, and immediately shouted in a hurry: "Sister! Sister! Sister Bao! Come back, danger! If you don't come again, I'll call someone!" ”

"Shhhh

Bao Gu ignored Xiaocao's concern, and continued to carefully inspect the insects that had climbed onto the wooden raft, these insects were very large, but it would take a lot of effort and energy to choose the best of the best!

Bao Gu pulled out the dagger beside her, and then slowly stretched out the dagger at the few sandwich insects that she looked at, as soon as those clipping insects saw someone holding something close to her, they kept spitting foam, and then raised their two big crows high, waved them desperately, and then saw the opportunity to clamp the dagger fiercely!

Bao Gu waited for this opportunity, as soon as the dagger was caught by the trapping worm, she immediately picked up the worm with force, put it on the ground, and then stepped on it with her foot, she took out the rope that had been prepared from her arms, and then tied the worm completely in three strokes and two strokes!

Bao Gu continued to use the same method to catch 6 large insects in a row, but for some reason, Bao Gu still stared at the river and searched on the wooden raft, and seemed to be not satisfied with today's harvest!

Xiaocao has been watching Aunt Bao from the side, seeing that she has caught so many big insects so easily, and she was much less afraid before, but she still picked up a small branch from her side and used it as a self-defense weapon, step by step, step by step, and slowly leaned towards Aunt Bao.

When she got close to Aunt Bao, Xiaocao dared to ask: "Sister, you are so powerful, although these insects are a little scary, they don't seem to be very powerful......

"Xiaocao, don't be careless, the PLO paid a very heavy price in order to deal with these insects, and this set of insect catching methods handed down was also learned at the cost of blood! You know, back then, the worms were much bigger than they are now! ”

"How big?"

"It's about the size of a kid like you, maybe bigger!"

Aunt Bao's answer undoubtedly made Xiaocao shudder, she unconsciously glanced at the insects that had been tied up by Aunt Bao, she really couldn't imagine that their ancestors could be bigger than herself, what is this not a monster?!

"The PLO was able to come up with a way to deal with them? It's amazing......"

"Yes, so we people in Jiangnan call this kind of insect crab, this crab word is the solution of the PLO, the pronunciation at that time, the solution and the crab are homonyms!" (You can imagine that we eat hairy crabs now, and those hairy crabs are tied up, just like Bao Gu is tied now, and there are legends as evidence, the first person to eat crabs should also be the PLO, and the word "worm" is added under the word "worm", which is also somewhat reasonable)
