The leech, commonly known as the locust, is a disgusting-looking animal whose ugly appearance makes people shudder, and I never dare to face it. I was so scared of this animal because it had something to do with my experience as a child.

My childhood was spent in the countryside, that time was the most carefree of my life, I will never forget, there were many playmates at that time, because the folk customs are very simple, my friends and I do not have to worry about bad people, we can rest assured and bold to go to the wild to play, it is at that time, I got to know this animal.

I was nine years old, I had just finished the first grade, and during the summer vacation, I went to the field with three of my best children, and we picked flowers, and we went to the stream to catch snails, and we put the snails we caught in the sun, and we took out their flesh, or we stoned them to death with bricks, and they splashed their juice, and we didn't know if they would feel pain, and when there was no blood coming out, we agreed that they didn't feel pain. At that time, we were sitting on the edge of the man-made water storage ditch, and at the beginning of the ditch was a short section of cement, and we were carrying out "atrocities" on that section of the cement surface, and when we had had enough, we would boredly stare at the adults working in the distance.

"When the wheat is harvested, if it doesn't rain, we have to water the ground with water from the canal, and when the time comes, it will be full of water, and the locusts will come with the water, and then we will be able to catch the locusts." Xiaokui said.

"I don't dare, I'm scared to death when I see something like that." Cicada said, with a scared expression.

"What is a locust? What is it? I asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Xiaokui said.

"What if it rains? Wouldn't that be out of sight? I said.

"You want to see it so much, come with me." Xiao Aoi said and stood up, patted the dirt on her buttocks, and ran to the other side of the ditch. We hurried to keep up.

Aoi led us to the bottom of a tall cistern, made of concrete, very large and boxy, and in our size at that time, it was very tall and majestic. A small house is next to the cistern, and Xiaokui said that there is a pump in it, and the water pumped will pass through it first, and then connect the water pipe to the ditch, and then lead the water from the ditch to the shallow ditch path between the wheat fields, and the water will flow into the field. I'm not interested in how to water the ground, I just want to see the locusts as soon as possible.

"The locusts are in here?" I asked, pointing to the cistern.

Xiao Aoi nodded and said that you got it right. He climbed up to the cistern, and there were several large rocks under the cistern, which served as a staircase, and we climbed up one by one, and sat on the edge and twisted our bodies to look down. The cistern was very deep, almost twice our height, and when I looked at it, I had a feeling of vertigo, the edges were very narrow, and I was afraid of falling, so I sat cautiously and did not dare to move. There is half a meter of water inside, the water is not muddy, there is a circle of green moss around the wall of the pool that is flooded, there are sparse and sparse aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the water, because the water does not flow, they are waiting quietly, the aquatic plants are densely covered with large and small bricks and stones, I think this must be some curious children like us, the ones who swim between the aquatic plants are leeches, I stared at them with wide eyes, there are quite a few of them, because the pool is very deep, I can't look closely, I only see that their bodies are black, It is the thickness of an adult's fingers, and it swings in the water, swimming lightly. I was scared, because I didn't see their heads for a long time, they seemed to have no heads, no feet, no fins, and the whole thing was a whirring black piece of flesh.

"Shuttle, go find some rocks." Aoi said to the shuttle sitting at the end.

After a while, the shuttle found some and put it in her clothes, and she stood on the big stone and gave it to us, and we threw it into the water, and "coo-dong-goo-dong", and the calm water splashed, and the leeches fled in all directions, and in the turbulent waves, I saw one of them turn over, and its belly was flesh-colored, and in a moment, it flipped back again, and I immediately became disgusted, and stopped throwing.

"Don't throw it away, oops, I'm going to throw up." Cicada said to Aoi. It turns out that he feels the same way as me, and he must have seen the one that just turned over.

"Do locusts have eyes?" I asked.

"Yes." Xiaokui said.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, the locust doesn't even have a head, how can it have eyes, it only has a mouth, which is used to suck blood." Cicada said.

Xiaokui is a conceited child, he loves to fight for everything, and hates others to refute him the most, he sneered and said: "Since the locust has no head, where does it come from?" Aren't you contradicting yourself? ”

I think Xiaokui is a little bit of a pole, in my cognition, I think a mollusk can have no head but a mouth, and moreover, the locust looks like it has no head but a mouth, although the mouth is not obvious intuitively, but since it sucks blood, it definitely has a mouth, but I don't know if it has eyes, although they didn't hit the pool wall, but it doesn't mean they have to have eyes.

"Don't fight me, my mother told me." Cicada said.

Xiaokui said in an exaggerated tone: "Huh~ Your mother is a college student?" She's right? ”

I thought Aoi was a bit too much, so she said, "I don't think it has eyes, too." ”

Seeing that I was on his side, Cicada smiled triumphantly and said, "The teacher said that the minority should obey the majority, and you lost." ”

Xiaokui was not convinced, and said to the shuttle standing on the stone, "Who do you believe?" ”

Suozi is a gentle and honest child, she looked at Xiaokui, then at the cicada, and said, "I believe in the cicada." "Suozi is usually scolded by Xiao Kui, and this time she has a bit of a sense of venting her personal anger.

"Haha! Three to one. The cicadas are even more proud.

Xiao Aoi furrowed her brows and said, "A group of ignorant people. ”

Cicada refuses to show weakness, he is not like me and Shuttle, he knows how to back down in front of people like Xiaokui, and every time he fights for red-faced, he said: "As far as you know a lot, you are amazing, you are a great talent." ”

The two of them were sitting next to each other, staring at each other at close range, Xiao Kui was stunned, and became angry, he poked the cicada's shoulder, and said, "If you don't believe it, go down and have a look, go down and have a look." And you two, go down and have a look. ”

I was so frightened that I came down from the edge of the pool, and the shuttle and I jumped off the rocks and landed on the ground, feeling safe.

The cicada also poked Xiaokui's shoulder and said, "I won, it's you who don't believe us, it's you who should go down, you go down and have a look, you go down and see!" ”

The two of them got heavier and heavier, from poking to pushing, and they saw that the two were about to fall.

"Cicadas come down, cicadas come down." The shuttle and I shouted in unison below.

I saw Aoi look at the two of us, and then the cicada disappeared———— Aoi pushed the cicada down, and he pushed the cicada down with all his might. There was a "plop" and the water splashed on the edge of the pool.

Shuttle and I were stunned as we saw Aoi turn his face towards us, his face mixed with anger and fear.

"Murder————

The shuttle left me and ran towards the village.

At that time, I also thought that the cicada was dead, and he was going to be sucked to death by leeches, so I trembled and said to Xiaokui: "Pull him up quickly!" ”

Xiao Kui was not as rigid as just now, and he was also scared, he cried and said with a sad face, "Come and help me." ”

I hesitated and didn't dare to move, I was afraid that he would push me down too, and I said, "You wait, I'll call someone." With that, I ran.

I ran into the wheat field, because I knew that at the moment people were cutting wheat in the field, and that there were only the old and the young and the weak left in the village, and I was proud that I was not frightened, and if the shuttle was also going to call people, then she would have run in the wrong direction. When I was running into the wheat field, I always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, and I realized that the cicada did not cry, did not scream, and fell silently, maybe he screamed, but was drowned out by the sound of a huge splash, and I didn't hear it.

I caught an uncle who I didn't know and seemed to be in the east of the village, saying that someone had been sucked by a locust and was in the pool and couldn't come up.

When we came to the edge of the cistern, we saw Aoi sitting on the ground, leaning against a big rock, grinning and crying, and when he saw us, he cried and said, "Dead, dead." ”

The adults climbed up to the cistern and could only hear one of them; "It's broken, it's sinking, it's sinking, it's really dead." Then, a bold jumped into it and lifted the cicada up, and the people on the edge followed, I saw the cicada drenched in water, with her eyes closed, her face sallow, and a chubby leech drooping from her nostrils, and it looked like she was about to fall, and the cicada was carried down like a big puppet and laid flat on the ground, and then Xiaokui cried even louder, presumably he was frightened by the appearance of the cicada at this moment. I was also frightened, I stared at the cicadas on the ground in horror, his bulging belly did not rise and fall, indicating that he was not breathing, and the stomach was water, but at that time I thought that his stomach was full of leeches, and his bare arms and legs had a lot of disgusting leeches adsorbed, which was more disgusting than before, because they were full of blood, and their bodies were round, and their skin was very thin, and the bright red blood in them was looming, and some of them may have sucked too much and rolled to the ground, with their flesh-colored abdomen facing upwards. It's the most disgusting creature I've ever seen.

"Cicada ————"

A voice came from afar, I followed the voice, it was a familiar figure, Cicada's grandmother, she was twisting her little feet to rush this way, next to the shuttle, the shuttle called the cicada's grandmother.

At that time, there was no mobile phone, and the uncle ran to the village brigade to call an ambulance, and we waited in the same place.

Cicada's grandmother came to her and rushed to Xiaokui first, and she beat him with a cane to make him pay for his life. After Xiaokui was scared away, the cicada's grandmother turned her attention to the corpse, she cried heartily, and pulled out the leeches from the cicada's corpse one by one, some of the leeches were too strong to be pulled out to let it down.

I stood with Piko, sympathetically looking at Grandma Cicada who was crying heartbreakingly. I picked up a brick from the side and threw it at the leeches, and the shuttle picked up a brick as well, and we threw them together in resentment, and the leeches' bodies cracked and blood splashed, and it was the blood of the cicadas.

Later, the ambulance came, and so did Cicada's parents, uncles and aunts.

After the doctor's examination, he shook his head and said, "There is no breath, there is no need to send it to the hospital." ”

The family immediately burst into tears, but Cicada's father was stronger, and he asked the doctor, "This locust is so powerful?" ”

The doctor shook his head and said, "The number of locusts does not suck people to death, in fact, there is no harm in sucking some blood from grasshoppers, and the child is likely to be scared to death." ”

The cicadas were scared to death、、、、、、

Xiaokui's family lost a lot of money to Cicada'er's family, and Cicada'er's father insisted that Xiaokui pay for his life, but Xiaokui is a child, how can the law let him pay for his life?

This terrible thing has always been in my mind.
