Chapter 485: Fighting Swords and Mantises

As soon as he coughed, Xiao Jianhui couldn't live in peace, and began to pick around the house, not knowing how to turn out the magnifying glass that was resting in the drawer. The little one took a magnifying glass, got another piece of candy and put it under the eaves, and in a short time a large group of ants gathered on it. This guy lay on the ground, using a magnifying glass to focus the light, and in less than five minutes, the sugar cube was sneering and smoking, and the little ants were dead and wounded, and the formation was chaotic for a while, and the corpses were all over the field, and it was unbearable to see

When Brother Zhang Qian saw it, he immediately frowned and pulled his son up, "You guy, you have a grudge against ants in your last life, hurry up and get out of here."

The little guy was taught a lesson by his father, and he didn't care, so he turned his head and ran outside to catch Zhi, planning to put the Zhizhi that he was caught next to the sun for experiments.

As a result, he walked around the outside, and when he didn't catch it, he found two knife mantis in Chen's thorn nest.

The knife mantis is what people often call the praying mantis, because this thing has two sharp front legs like a big knife, so the Daqingshan area is called "the knife mantis".

There are also several kinds of knife mantises, the smallest one is earthy red, the body is very thin, and the long one is a little bumpy.

There is also a flower mantis, with a brown body and a little green spots on it, which looks dirty, as if it has not been wiped clean after eating vegetable juice, and Liu Junhao does not like to catch this thing. Usually catch sword mantises are mainly blue-colored, burly and handsome, with a long belly, and they will constantly wield two machetes after being caught, much like a brave and warlike samurai.

The time to catch the mantis is generally in the afternoon, the weather is sweltering, and these things are hiding under the thorn tree to enjoy the shade. At this time, it is easiest to catch, the knife mantis is very honest, usually hiding where to stay motionless, rarely turning its body to burrow into the thorn nest. After being caught, they no longer play prestige, let the children catch and swing around, and don't have to worry about the pair of machetes when they are caught.

When you catch a knife mantis, you don't take it home to feed the chickens and ducks, but three or five people get together to fight the knife mantis. It is said that at that time, there were relatively few children fighting crickets, most of them were catching knives and mantises.

Knife mantis fighting is also done in a clay pot, where the caught knife mantis are placed and a few drops of water are added to sober them up.

After being dipped in water, the knife mantis became excited, his head was raised, his wings exploded, and two machetes were crossed in front of his chest, looking quite fierce.

A group of children were lying around the crockpot and watching, shouting and shouting, hoping that their sword mantis would win. Knife mantis are different from crickets in that they are not so particular about it, and generally large ones can win. In order to catch the big knife mantis, they are not too hot at noon, and they drill Chen thorn nests everywhere in the south and north of the village. Liu Junhao still remembers that he once caught a big sword mantis that was more than one long and more than a prick, and in the end, this guy defeated all the sword mantis and won the championship.

In recognition of its great achievements, Liu Junhao also deliberately tied a red rope around the neck of the knife mantis, but before it could be shown, the hen waiting on the side stretched out her head and caught the knife mantis.

Seeing that Xiao Jianhui was about to burn the mantis with a magnifying glass, Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped him and asked him to put the two in the washbasin and play.

Magnifying glasses are now more dangerous than lighters, and it's not a good idea to accidentally throw them somewhere and cause a fire.

"Uncle, where is your washbasin?" Xiao Jianhui looked around the courtyard, but there was no trace of the washbasin.

"It must be a little bit to go rowing again, I'll call you to the ditch." Liu Junhao said and walked out of the yard.

Some time ago, a few bear children in the village were idle and bored, so they secretly put squirrels in the basin, and then pushed the basin into the ditch. At first, the guy was so frightened that he squeaked in the basin in the water, but after a few times, he finally got used to it. Now it doesn't need to be pushed at all, it will grab the basin and put it upstream, then jump in and paw downstream.

really let Zhou Ping say it, the two of them planned to take their son home. But the little guy ran away early, and didn't come to the adults at all.

Second brother Zhang Qian said a few times to no avail, so he had no choice but to let this little guy stay in Liujiagou.

As soon as it was dark, I saw flashlights flickering in the woods around the village, and there were bursts of cheers from time to time in the bright light.

On these days, at night, Liujiagou is as lively as a festival.

Under the leadership of Zhang Qian, the army in his courtyard also quickly joined the night walking team. Xiao Jianhui took the head and looked at the bottom, He Yifan took a bamboo pole and looked at the branch, and carried a bucket to provide logistics services behind. Liu Junhao was not interested in catching him, so he stayed at home and took care of the two little ones.

Everyone knows that Liu Junhao knows a lot, and after a while, tourists came in twos and threes, and the woods became very lively. I felt the shouting and talking of people, the sound of adults calling their children back to eat, and the screams of lazy toads squatting by the trees when I felt them...... All kinds of sounds are intertwined and blended into this thick summer night.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Zhang Qian and the others finished work early, and they just wanted to have fun, catch some and fry them to eat.

Xiao Er made a fuss for a long time in the afternoon, and went to bed early at night. It's the boss who can't coax him to sleep, and he has to let people walk back and forth.

"Boss, give me something fun?" He Yifan didn't care whether the little guy understood it or not, he just took it and put it in front of the child, which immediately caused a lot of crying.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid" Liu Junhao hurriedly turned his back. How do you know that this little guy is constantly struggling in his arms, sticking his head out to look at Zhi.

As soon as I looked at it twice, I cried again.

"Xiao Hao, if you have something to do today, if you don't, help me catch the hornet" Er Mazi made a phone call and directly called Liu Junhao to the village.

When he arrived, he found that there were already a lot of people outside the kitchen of Er Mazi's house.

"Uncle Guangxi, you still make such a big move when you cast a hornet's nest." Liu Junhao asked puzzled.

"Don't underestimate this nest of hornets, there are a lot of them, and my kitchen is tightly fenced." Ermazi opened his mouth to explain.

It turned out that he was busy in the kitchen in the morning, and suddenly he saw two or three things flying on the pork, and when he looked closely, it was a wasp that had come in out of nowhere

He didn't care at first, thinking that there were only two or three, just using a sieve to fasten the meat. Who knew that when I came back from a circle outside, I found that the kitchen was full of "buzzing" sounds, there were forty or fifty wasps flying back and forth, and there was a large swarm crawling on the sieve.

At that time, he began to search around, and searched under the eaves of more than a dozen houses, but he did not find a hornet's nest.

It was still his little grandson who was sharp-eyed, and finally found a wasp coming in and out of the brick crack under the kitchen windowsill.

Ermazi hurriedly took the green mud and pasted it on the brick joint, but unfortunately it didn't work at all. The kitchen in his house is an empty wall, with many brick joints, and it is impossible to paste at all. Helpless, Er Mazi came up with the trick of smoking. As a result, not long after the fire was lit, half of the village was alarmed, and they thought that his house was on fire.

After smoking for more than ten minutes, I felt almost relieved, and was about to go into the kitchen to get cigarettes to distribute to people, but as soon as I entered the door, I immediately covered my head and ran out.

Good guys, the kitchen is full of wasps, and you can't get in at all.

There was really no trick, so he called Liu Junhao and asked him to help find a way.

"Uncle Guangxi, use insecticides, this thing is simple, spraying it in less than five minutes, it can definitely eliminate the wasps." Liu Junhao suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, Er Mazi refused, "You can't use insecticides, I still want to get some bee chrysalis to eat." "Since Liu Junhao sold the bee pupae for a lot of money last year, everyone in the village knows that this thing is a high-protein food, and even if it is occasionally thrown into the hornet's nest, they no longer pick out the bee pupae to feed the chickens, but fry them at home.

Emotions are eyeing the bee chrysalis, this thing is difficult to do, but everyone has to give birth to a bunch of mugwort at the kitchen door, and then blow at the mugwort with a fan.

The mugwort bee killer was effective, and the wasps inside scurried around like headless flies before falling to the ground.

Attacking from both sides, the nest of hornets was finally eliminated. In the end, Ermazi put on gloves and used pliers to dig brick joints, and soon this hornet's nest appeared in front of everyone. I didn't expect that the hornet's nest had already formed two layers, fortunately Er Mazi was found early, otherwise at this rate, in another month, it is estimated that this group of hornets will drill the entire wall.

went around the village and went home, but saw Xiao Jianhui take out the two yellow eel hooks hanging on the wall, and was squatting by the ditch to catch yellow eels.

"Uncle, uncle, come and see, there's a snake hole here" He squatted in front of a hole, just about to take the bait, when he suddenly exclaimed. He remembered that his uncle had said very clearly, the yellow eel hole was smooth, and there were mud marks on the edges.

"It's not a snake hole, it's a crab hole," Liu Junhao didn't even stretch his head, but just stomped twice on the shore with his foot, and was sure that the hole was dug by crabs.

In fact, there is a big difference between the crab hole and the water snake's cave, and it is easy to tell if you look closely that the crab hole is oblate, which is related to its body size. There are also many dense dots on the side of the crab hole, which are stepped out by tiptoe when it enters and exits the cave. The mouth of the crab may not seem large, but the inside is wide and irregular. And those old crabs are even more cunning, and the cave turns left and right, like a labyrinth.

"Brother-in-law, how do you know it's a crab hole, you haven't even looked at it." He Yifan asked curiously.

"It's a long story......

As soon as Liu Junhao pulled down his tone, Zhang Qian shouted beside him, "Don't show off, hurry up and say the important thing." She also wanted to know how her husband could tell the difference.

"Simple, in a few words, 'practice makes perfect'. In this kind of weather, the crabs are staying at the mouth of the hole to hunt, and as long as they stomp a few times, they will hide in the depths of the hole, so that some muddy water will flow out of the hole. Liu Junhao is talking about experience.
