124, "The Words of the Heavenly Bull"

The wild wings pluck the bush trees, look at it, gnaw the branches and bark bald, and taste the sycamore mulberry elm. The body is small and the strength seems to be infinite, there are black and white whips, there are moire stars, there are ink beads covering the eyes, and there are gold wings and steel bones. Catch and chase each other, a hot summer, a different fun, let it be miserable.

Sigh, the origin of the mushroom is glorious, the dark camp is vain, although the name is "covetous", it is difficult to resist coveting, only willing to be sorry for the way, and the cockroach is moth. Admiration, water horses and horses do not touch, and women flow across the waves. Disgusted, the longhorn chews the muscles, the most afraid of leftovers, the grubs curl up in the nests,, the scourge of thousands of flowers and plants, withering are all overturned, a sour and bitter.

- "The Words of the Heavenly Bull"

Notes: Although the longhorn beetle is a more harmful pest, adults hate it and can't wait to get rid of its species. But for left-behind children in the countryside, it is a rare and interesting natural plaything. When the summer vacation comes, the idle rural children will take advantage of the warm afternoon time to go to the jungle grass and ditches around the village in groups to pass the time and explore the mysteries and wonders of nature.

Because the rural environment is beautiful and quiet, few people set foot in, so the insects often show their high-pitched singing voices, or one after another, you sing and we appear, or start a choir, cong cong chengcheng, chirping, there are cicadas lively, there are birds crisp, there are crickets strings... Together, the sound of nature is vividly displayed, and the cooperation is seamless, quite like the best music gathering, which can make people indulge in it, and the body and mind have been greatly edified.

Therefore, rural teenagers who are full of exploration spirit can naturally find a lot of natural green fun: for example, looking for the cockroach that is invisible in the folds of the bark, trance and tree color are one - if people do not look closely, it is not easy to find its figure, relying on this trick, how many times it has escaped the pursuit of natural enemies... For example, quietly guarding the flowers, waiting for the flying hummingbird eagle moth to pollinate and collect honey - this is a kind of "four dislike" insects like moths, bees, birds and butterflies, with the speed of hummingbirds, with the long beak of moths, with the habits of bees, with the grace of butterflies, often mistaken for hummingbirds, in fact, just a moth... Of course, there are also all kinds of fun of raising, such as feeding a hedgehog full of sharp thorns, you can find that it likes to eat noodles, loaches, earthworms and other long strips of food, and also likes to eat small frogs, small toads, small mice and young snakes, etc., which can be described as one of the easier creatures to give birth to...

Although it is often said that there is not much pastime in the countryside, it is difficult to say it all in one breath for a while, and this infinite beauty may be stacked in the corner of people's eyes, waiting for people to discover it carefully, which is like after midsummer, in the low bushes, if people pay close attention, they can often hear a faint, "crunching" sound, as if someone is secretly cutting wood. Of course, if one peels aside the verdant tree, one or two or more, fat, strange-looking, elongated, and arrogant insects with thick sickle-like jaws gnawing on the tender and juicy bark of the tree - this insect will not stop eating because it is discovered by humans, on the contrary, it will accelerate its gnawing, and then only after people have caught it, it seems to wake up suddenly, "Oh, I was caught", and then began to grind its teeth angrily, its limbs were entangled, and it made a terrible "crunch" sound. It seems that he wants to use this trick to make the "weak" people scared and release it. It's so lazy, it's also so naïve, because it's too greedy, and because it's too naïve, it finally ended up being caught playing to death, which is probably its saddest but not pitiful experience.

After being caught, there are many ways to play, the most common is to find a thin and tough nylon rope, like a tethered cow, from the back of the neck of the cow around the careful fastening, so that it can not get out of its mouth, nowhere to bite, and no intention to mess up the rope, naturally there is no way to break free. Therefore, when it is shackled, it becomes a puppet that cannot help itself, although it can still fly, but it can only listen to people's love and dislike, high or low, or front or back, and the range is only within the length of the rope, although it frequently makes a "huh" sound to please humans when it flies in the air (in fact, it is only the sound of wings flapping, and has no other meaning), but it can no longer fly freely everywhere. Because even if it is so sad, in the eyes of people, it is a different scene: it is just a plaything. Therefore, groups of children often compete to see whose "Niu Niu" flies the highest and farthest, but in the end, the winner and the loser will end up in a different place, and only a little luck is so good that the "Niu Niu" can fly away happily with the rope - but in the end it will still die because of the rope bondage.

And for those "Niu Niu" who messed up the rope with their hooked feet at the beginning and could not be separated, they would naturally lose the favor of the people, and would be the first to be persecuted, and then they would become the abundant rations of the ant army.

Of course, there is also a "cow cow" game is to race to climb far, on the ground, to see which bull climbs the fastest, climbs the farthest, to determine the distance to win or lose, is also full of fun.

Although the bull at the cost of life, to give rural children childlike fun, to win the favor of human masters, and constitute people's youth (in fact, most of them are childhood), although it is a column of pests, but rural children, still want to say thank you, thank you These elves constitute a colorful real experience of rural children, and because of the company of these elves, the rural children left behind are much less lonely and lonely, and more happy and happy. Thank you for those years, you existed, although the children at that time had long grown up, and they were no longer replaying these "naïve", but I really remembered it, I wanted to find it, and I continued to play with you, but I found that there were few traces, and it was no longer easy to find you. Also, time flies, this world has long been a matter of right and wrong, not to mention the disgusting you, after all, there are more pesticides, fewer miscellaneous trees, and the environment has deteriorated, so you will naturally disappear. This, the fucking life...

Attached: The Celestial Cow, also known as the Iron Bull, is known as the Heavenly Bull because of its strength and good flying in the sky; And because it makes a "crunching" sound, it seems to be the sound of sawing trees, so it is also called "sawing tree lang".
