Back home, the night was dark.

Walking on the street, Meng Yining has never been so relaxed to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Daxia, and Beiyang was once a prosperous scene.

"Chun'er and Xing'er are dead, I originally wanted to be a big girl, but now I am given it, but I am trembling every day."

"How can the whole house be suspicious? Murder of ghosts! ”

The two girls behind Meng Yining walked briskly, and the sound of talking came into their ears. She has a keen sense of hearing, and she can hear the movement of the pebble, let alone such a big conversation.

"Hurry up! What are you doing with it! "These two maids actually have a little attendant.

Meng Yining glanced sideways and saw a thin and small, ten-year-old girl following behind.

"Hey! Little bugs! Don't bump the pastries that Miss wants, or I'll throw you into the well in the backyard!" ”

As they spoke, the two of them snorted and laughed.

Meng Yining frowned, little bug? Where is such a strange name? She slowed her pace and listened with her ears pricked up.

The little girl was lame, biting her mouth, struggling to keep up with the footsteps of the two big girls in front of her.

"It's strange that you said that young lady had that name."

"What's that? Who made her grow a butterfly-like birthmark on her neck, last time someone praised two chic sentences and was heard by the young lady. The maid learned the tone of the crane Miaomiao: "Miss said, this disgusting birthmark is dark, and the butterflies are all bright colors, and this looks like a dirty moth." Not auspicious at all! ”

"It's up to the young lady to live or die like a little girl like her, and giving her a name is to promote her."

The little insect trembled and followed with two clay pots, but the distance between the three of them was still five or six meters.

"Hurry up! I'll pretend to be lame if I kick you! Are you a young lady? A maid said sternly.

"When you get to the house in a while, give us the things, and you go and wipe the stove hot!" I can't even walk a road, I really don't know what work I will do! ”

Meng Yining glanced at Gu Zi'an and said in a low voice: "The style of the Crane Mansion is a fried chicken?" ”

"It's just a pity, chickens have chicken lice, and I don't think they're like them enough." Meng Yining answered again and walked forward on his own.

The people on the street are wrapped in thick jackets to play cards, chess, and insects, and the joy is like a summer evening.

Fighting insects is a popular activity in Great Summer, but it is slightly more dangerous than other entertainments.

There is a unique insect in Great Xia - the golden-armored and silver-silked turtle.

Survive all year round, under the golden armor is a thick and coarse fluff. Under the light and sunlight, the golden shell of the turtle insect reflects a variety of colors. This kind of turtle insect likes a few to live alone, as long as there are many of them, they will be restless and attack each other. The mouth of the insect spits out silver poisonous silk threads like a spider, surrounds the other party, and then eats away step by step. As a result, the activity of "gambling bugs" became popular in the summer.

Put eight or nine turtle insects in a white porcelain jar and spin silk with each other, like silkworm cocoons. After five days, the thread slowly fades, and the owner of the only victor is richly rewarded. Wealthy people all use the transparent glass cups from Yan Rong to fight insects, and you can see the grand occasion of the fight from the side.

The golden-armored and silver-silked turtle is not afraid of the winter of the Great Summer, but it will enter hibernation after the beginning of winter, and gradually wake up when the spring is warm. The streets are lined with charcoal-burning stoves, and a half-steel and half-wood table is set up on top of them to warm the turtles so that they wake up and play games.

However, it is also dangerous, this insect is a carnivorous and blood-drinker, parasitic on animals in the wild, and if it comes into contact with the skin, it will tear a hole in its mouth and stick it into the flesh like a nail. If you are unfortunate enough to be bitten, forcibly pulling it out will only allow the jagged barbs and toxins to remain in the body, so people can only smoke it with fire, wait for it to be in unbearable pain, and let go of their mouths and run away.

Two maids called the little attendant behind them.

Meng Yining looked at the people under the candle fire on the street and was happy.

Gu Zi'an seemed to know what she was going to do, so he said lightly: "Don't hurt the innocent." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yining crushed the ground with one foot, and a small pebble flew out like a chicken feather arrow, hitting a maid directly.

"Smack."

There was a crisp sound, and before a maid could react quickly, she was hit in the head by a stone, and she stumbled and was about to fall backwards.

"Ahh She screamed, frightened to pull the other person next to her. How could the maid next to her fall to the ground with her, took the opportunity to take her hand back, and then looked at her like a haha, and the maid immediately fell to the right.

In the crowded alley, face to the ground, head straight down to the gambling insect jar on the wooden table. A few big men next to him couldn't pull this sudden woman.

Her hand slammed into the table, her sleeve swept away, and a row of cans fell to ——,the ground one by one.

The insects were frightened and tore through the wire fence and crawled out. I happened to see that there was still white and tender skin exposed in front of me, so I clicked and bit it hard.

"Ah!!!h

The maid's neck was as painful as fire.

Meng Yining looked back and raised his eyebrows, as if an insect was about to crawl on him. pulled Gu Zi'an to hide in a wonton shop and peeked.

"Why don't you pull me!" Ignoring the pain, she blamed the maid next to her first!

"I still treat you as a friend, but you pushed me out!"

The other was afraid that the insects would crawl on him, so he shouted at the little maid, "You go and pull her, I'll go and bring snacks to the young lady first." “

"Hey, worm, don't pull me up yet!"

The little girl hurriedly stepped forward, but the pots and pots in her hands were too heavy, and her legs had just been injured, so she could only move one small step at a time.

Several big men saw their treasure insects suddenly run away, and angrily scolded: "Smash my jar, let my insects go, and want to leave!" ”

Another maid panicked and said, "Miss can't wait, I'll go back and call someone first!" ”。 As he spoke, he took the jar from the little bug's hand

"You dare!" The maid who fell to the ground screamed sharply, but the people around her were startled. A few big men didn't do anything, she quickly grabbed the jar next to her, and threw it at the other maid like a stone on a wild duck.

"Smack."

The silk-like porcelain cup shatters at the touch of a touch. Bugs climb up the skirt like crazy!

"What are you doing!"

"Don't!" She got up from the ground and pulled the maid. The little attendant stood behind, a little overwhelmed, and stood in place.

The people stopped fighting the insects, and watched the two big girls in the Crane Mansion tremble as they were bitten. While also pulling each other's hair and pulling each other's clothes.

People gathered in a circle, pointing and pointing. The gambler was about to hit with a stick, but when he saw clearly that it was someone from the Crane Mansion, he hesitated and didn't dare to move.

Meng Yining walked over briskly in two or three steps: "Why don't you hurry up and send something to your young lady, they can't help it, if Miss He asks, it will be fine." ”

The little girl reacted and nodded hesitantly.

Meng Yining squatted down and grabbed the little girl's lame leg.

"Alas, you ......," cried the little girl quietly.

Meng Yining looked at her legs and held her waist: "It's not a big deal, come on, relax......"

She was inexplicably relieved, put down the two soup pots, and tried to lean her body on her according to Meng Yining's words. With a "click", the bones returned to their original positions. The little girl shook her legs and found that although she was in some pain, she would not limp when she walked.

The little girl looked at the fluttering butterfly on Meng Yining's head, said thank you shyly, picked up the crockpot soup pot and walked towards the palace.

The two maids cried while fighting.

It is estimated that when the bugs are burned, the body will be smoked into charcoal roast pigs.
