Chapter 5: Sister Xueba

"Xiaolian, Qi Lin, if this can really be cured and expensive, even if he pulls out the pot and sells the urn, he will compensate you, I'll go first. ”

Aunt Liu left in a hurry.

"Qi Lin, then you and Yuyan stay at home, and your mother goes to the fields. ”

Qi Xiaolian said.

"Hmm. ”

Zheng Qilin nodded.

"By the way, there are still a few centipedes in the plastic tube in the firewood room, and the ones left over from last night's clean-up are too small, you take them out and pour them out, and then catch them when they grow up. Be careful, don't let the centipedes bite!"

Qi Xiaolian advised.

There is an unwritten rule for catching centipedes in their village, that is, to catch the big ones but not the small ones, and if they accidentally catch the small ones, they will also be released.

"Well, I'll be careful, it's fine. ”

Zheng Qilin smiled slightly.

Qi Xiaolian carried the hoe to the field, and Zheng Qilin walked into the firewood room and found the little centipedes. Picked up the plastic bucket and saw three small centipedes motionless inside, in fact, these centipedes are not too small, about two inches, and one must be sold for a dollar. If it were someone else, it would have been scalded and stuffed with bamboo strips and sold together.

"Dead?"

Zheng Qilin knocked lightly.

"Whoosh...... Whoosh ......"

The three little centipedes immediately jumped up and down.

"The acting is good. ”

Zheng Qilin smiled.

Carrying a plastic bucket out of the yard, to a lush grove in the back mountain, just about to pour it out, the brain suddenly thought, if you blow a mouthful of "fairy gas" on these centipedes, will it have such an effect?

Will it be like a tomato, which ripens overnight and directly turns into a big centipede?

It's a bit crazy to think, and if these centipedes mutate and become like the building-tall monsters from the Star Wars movies, it's going to be a problem...... It's better to pour it, and I don't use this as an experiment at the moment.

Zheng Qilin was about to pour it out again, but after hesitating, he couldn't help but be curious.

"Why don't you give it a try! Sit by and keep an eye on it, after all, it is starting to change little by little, and if the change exceeds expectations, just kill them immediately. ”

Zheng Qilin made a decision.

Aim at the mouth of the plastic bucket, take a deep breath, and exhale slowly.

A faint trace of purple air could be seen circling the plastic bucket and finally landing on the three small centipedes.

Put down the plastic bucket, pick up a wooden stick, and crouch next to it to stare carefully.

The three little centipedes that had just absorbed the "fairy qi" didn't react much, just crawled in place honestly and didn't move.

But after two or three minutes, the mutation began.

One of the small centipedes twisted from side to side, and it was obvious that its tail had grown a little.

Immediately afterwards, the other two small centipedes also began to react, and their bodies twisted slightly.

As time passed, the reaction of the three small centipedes became more and more intense, just like those insects molting, and the length and thickness of their bodies also changed significantly.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the three little centipedes gradually stopped writhing, and lay quietly in it without moving, at this moment the length was one centimeter more than before, I have to say that this speed is quite against the sky, if it is placed in the wild, the three little centipedes may not be able to grow one centimeter in a month, and this is only one hour.

"Stopped?

Zheng Qi was puzzled.

At this moment, the three little centipedes moved again, and their bodies still kept writhing, like molting......

An hour passed, and the three little centipedes were quiet again, but the hour had grown by two centimeters, and the overall length was close to ten centimeters.

Under normal circumstances, such centipedes can be caught when they encounter them in the wild, because ordinary adult centipedes are only twelve or thirteen centimeters.

I don't know if the role of "immortal energy" is not yet.

He waited quietly for a few minutes, and the three little centipedes moved again.

The three little centipedes kept writhing their bodies, swaying from side to side......

After an hour, the overall length reached twelve or thirteen centimeters, thick and dark and bright.

"Brother, it's time to eat, where are you?"

Sister Yuyan's voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Oh, it's back. ”

Zheng Qilin responded, hurriedly stood up, and returned home with a plastic bucket.

"Brother, why did you go? Hey, you ran to catch centipedes? Such a big three!"

Yuyan's eyes widened.

"Uh...... Hmmm!"

Zheng Qilin nodded.

"Qi Lin Yuyan, it's time to eat. ”

The voice of her mother Qi Xiaolian came from home.

"Uh-huh, here we go. ”

Yuyan responded.

"You go in first, and I'll put this in the firewood room. Don't tell your parents that I caught a centipede!"

Zheng Qilin advised.

"If you don't say yes, then you can't catch it again in the future. ”

Yuyan said.

"Know...... Know"

Zheng Qilin hurriedly entered the firewood room, put down the centipede, and put the plastic bucket into a large plastic basin for safety, so that even if the centipede ran out of the plastic bucket, there would be a smooth plastic basin.

Thinking that the centipede's growth cycle is one hour, the current twelve or thirteen centimeters, and an hour later, it will grow to fifteen or sixteen centimeters, far from the point of becoming a monster, so I didn't worry much and left the firewood room.

The lunch at noon was quite sumptuous, with fish and meat, and the mother also slaughtered an old hen and stewed soup, which added several medicinal herbs such as mushrooms, which were specially given to Zheng Qilin to nourish his body.

"Our family dares to eat this food for the New Year! Brother, this time you are bare......

Yuyan said happily.

"You just need to come back from the first place in the class, and my brother will give you a higher grade of food every day in the future. ”

Zheng Qilin quipped.

"Brother, I don't need to eat high-end meals every day, you just need to buy me a mobile phone...... Hey hey ......"

Yuyan blinked and looked at Zheng Qilin.

"Okay!"

Zheng Qilin readily agreed.

"Jade ......"

Mother Qi Xiaolian glared at Yuyan.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, don't buy it......"

Yuyan lowered her head to eat.

"What, you're already number one in your class?"

Zheng Qilin looked at Yuyan suspiciously. Although my sister's school grades are not bad, she grew up in a small rural area after all, and her parents are not much educated, and her foundation is weak.

"The first thing in the class, your sister and I took the exam last time, and she was the first in the whole grade!"

Yuyan raised her head proudly.

"Wow!

Zheng Qilin's eyes widened and he was shocked.

"General...... In fact, your sister and I were the top three in our class as early as the second year of junior high school, and after this year of struggle, we successfully stepped on the throne of the first place in the whole grade. It's been a long time since you've cared about your sister's academic performance. ”

Yuyan glared at Zheng Qilin with some dissatisfaction.

"Humility makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind. ”

Zheng Dashan said with a smile.

"Be careful, next time I take the second place. ”

Qi Xiaolian couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, come on, brother will reward you with a big chicken leg first, don't worry, when you go to high school, brother will definitely buy you a good mobile phone!"

Zheng Qilin sandwiched a chicken leg and put it in the Yuyan bowl.

"Thank you, brother!"

Yuyan smiled.

As soon as the family finished eating, Zheng Qilin hurried to the firewood room, and he had to keep an eye on these centipedes all the time......
