Chapter 36: Interesting Facts about Cricket Fighting
Crickets burrow, often inhabit the surface, under the masonry, in the soil holes, among the grass. Night-out activities. Omnivorous, eating a variety of crops, saplings, vegetables and fruits, etc.
Every quiet summer night, there is a crisp and pleasant chirping sound in the grass - "chirp, squeak". Listen, the crickets are having a concert again! The cricket's beautiful song does not come from its good voice, but from its wings. If you look closely, you will see that the cricket is constantly vibrating its wings, is it flapping its wings? Of course not, the wings are its vocal organs. On the right wing of the cricket, there is a short spine like a file, and on the left wing, there are hard thorns like a knife. The left and right wings are closed one by one, rubbing against each other. Shake your wings to make a pleasant sound.
In addition to being good at singing, crickets are also very aggressive. The bucket is a contest between male crickets. When crickets meet, they will use their antennae to distinguish each other, and when male and female meet, the two crickets will be tender and sweet, and express admiration for each other; When the two males meet, it is a different scene, and they must show their two big teeth and compete with each other. Crickets are not born to be aggressive, but once they are put together and played with a little fiddling, the reason is that crickets are born with a pair of compound eyes, and their eyesight is quite poor, and in many cases they rely on the two long whiskers on their heads when looking for food. In this way, they fought back and forth, until the other party could not move at the end; If it touches its tail hairs, it will arouse its disgust, and it will kick back with the tibia of its hind foot to show resistance.
Children love to play with crickets and often get together to fight crickets for fun. Now they all know that Pride has a good cricket that can both chirp and fight. And Ruthless also has an aggressive cricket, and Ruthless is always proud of it, because his crickets have always been a good fight, and even the ambition and confidence cannot match it.
On this day, he challenged Aoxin, saying that his crickets are invincible in the world, and Proudness of course refuses to admit defeat, how do you know if you haven't fought? So the two of them made an appointment to set up a stage after school.
A good show began, and everyone came to watch this cricket king competition. Proud and ruthless put the crickets into the cricket jar of pottery, and each held a small chicken feather in his hand to provoke their own crickets. When the two powerhouses meet, a fierce battle is inevitable.
I saw two crickets vibrating their wings violently and chirping loudly, one was to cheer themselves up, and the other was to extinguish the prestige of the opponent, and then they were so bold that they grinned and began to duel. I saw that they first arched their heads together, then kicked them, and then rolled their long tentacles, constantly rotating their bodies, looking for a vantage point, and bravely slaughtering.
Pride and ruthlessness cheer for their crickets on the sidelines. After a few rounds, the ruthless cricket looked a little depressed, and soon lost the battle. The proud crickets raised their heads and chests, and their fighting spirit was high, and they kept chirping, as if they were asking for merit and rewards from the proud heart. In fact, it is not surprising that the ruthless cricket fight lost. Because the proud cricket is the most combative cricket in the cricket family, the common people call it the black-headed general, which is the "fighter" among crickets. In addition to the pride of the usual professional cricket fighting fun, there is no longer any other hobbies, to put it mildly, he has reached the point of plaything for crickets, so he has achieved much more experience and achievements in fighting crickets than he has achieved in learning, and those sandfly crickets, under his professional breeding and training, can be regarded as invincible.
At this time, I saw that Aoxin began to make fun of Ruthless and said: "Ruthless, you just say that you are too self-conscious!" But you just don't believe it. It's okay this time, it's embarrassing."
Seeing this, Ruthless was obviously furious, grabbed his own cricket and threw it to the ground, and scolded viciously in his mouth: "Useless things, even this black mongrel can't fight, what's the use of keeping you?" ”
But the arrogance still did not give up, and said with a proud smile: "Ruthless, if you compare again in the future, I advise you to pick a few who can fight again!" Lest you lose and be embarrassed, everyone is right! ”
The other friends next to him coaxed one after another: "That's it, if you want to pick a few decent ones, don't lose the battle in one or two meetings, how boring it looks like!" ”
Greed also interjected: "Yes, yes." ”
Seeing this, Ruthless glared at him viciously, and was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak anymore.
But the ruthlessness can't stand the humiliation of pride, and if this revenge is not avenged, I am afraid it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart. Suddenly, he had an idea, intending to harm the arrogant Ink Cricket. With a certain idea, he tried his best to divert the attention of Pride and other spiritual hearts, and suddenly said, "You see, Ambition has come to challenge him with his crickets. Then he pretended to point his finger into the distance.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction that ruthlessly pointed out, thinking that it was time to join in the fun again, and Proud stood up nervously, raising his head and looking around. Then he seized the pride of the cricket from the cricket jar, threw it hard to the ground, and crushed it to death with his foot, and when he had done all this, he smiled mysteriously.
However, everyone didn't see the ambition, so they scrambled to ask the ruthless heart: "Where is the ambition, why don't we see it?" ”
Shrugged his shoulders ruthlessly and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, maybe I was wrong." Only then did everyone realize that they had been deceived, so they booed the cruelty, and then they all prepared to go home.
Seeing this, Proud also wanted to take his black-headed general home, but when he looked at the cricket jar, he couldn't help but be shocked, the cricket jar was already empty, and his cricket had disappeared at some point. So, he cried out loudly: "Where are my crickets? Who stole my black-headed general. Hearing him say this, the group gathered again, and divided up to help him find the crickets.
At this time, the thief was still sharp-eyed, and saw the corpses of two crickets on the ground, so he pointed to one of them and asked Aoxin, "Is that your black-headed general?" ”
Proud looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the cricket had been smeared and unrecognizable, but the proud cricket had been "born and died" with him for many years, and at a glance he knew that it was his black-headed general.
Aoxin hugged his head and cried: "Black-headed general, you died so miserably!" I will avenge you. Who did the murder of my black-headed general? Stand up for me if you have the guts. ”
Arrogant and angry, I saw that the ruthless heart was a little thief, and he ran away without saying much.
Seeing this, the proud heart rose up in anger and chased after him.
At this moment, ambition appeared, and ruthlessness rushed forward to stop him as if he had seen a savior, and then pointed at the arrogance who had caught up, and whispered to ambition.
Proud Xin knew the ability of ambition, and the lesson of the last time had already made him a little afraid, but he immediately stopped, or waited for Ambition to speak, he hurriedly explained: "Young Master Ambition, don't come to harm, I'm playing with Ruthless, don't take it seriously." ”
Then he said helplessly to the ruthless heart: "Ruthless, our grievances will be written off, you must not frame me again." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, he said proudly: "It's good to go, don't send it!" ”
