Volume 5 The Curse of the Old Village_Chapter 296 Trap
The third uncle glared at the fat man: "If you drink a fart, you will know how to drink." ”
Fat Dahai is also joking, he is a big grin, he doesn't know the severity, he was scolded by the third uncle, stuck out his tongue and retreated.
The third uncle took out those wine glasses and looked at them, flicked them with his fingers, and nodded: "Okay, it's almost." ”
Seeing these wine glasses made by the third uncle, they were obviously not for drinking, and I was also confused, not knowing what he was going to do.
Soon, night fell.
The third uncle sent me and Fat Dahai back to the room to rest first, and now many guests are walking around the campus, and they usually return at eight or nine o'clock. So it wasn't until about midnight for the bugs to move.
How could we be sleepy, I simply went to the fat man's room to chat, until at eleven o'clock in the evening, the third uncle came to call us.
I knew that the time had come to catch the poisonous silkworms, and I couldn't help but be a little nervous.
The third uncle summoned us to my room and blocked the curtains on the windows so tightly that no moonlight could penetrate at all.
There was only one corner of the room, lit with a white wax.
According to the third uncle, the light emitted by this kind of white ash is closest to yin fire, and it can make those ghosts and evil things that come here feel at ease to the greatest extent.
The light emitted by the white wax is very weak. Fortunately, my room is not big, and the light can barely take care of every corner.
The third uncle put the glass bottle containing all kinds of mosquitoes and flies on the bedside table. I saw that the mosquitoes and flies inside were all listless, and many of them were motionless, as if they were dead.
Then, the third uncle took out all the wine glasses in the box and placed a long column on my desk.
The glass box with mulberry leaves was placed in the middle of the ground, and the box was covered with a red cloth.
After finishing these, the third uncle let out a sigh and said, "Okay, the trap has been dug, just wait for those poisonous silkworms to take the bait." ”
"That's it?" I'm a little skeptical, can such a simple arrangement catch the poisonous silkworm?
"Of course. But don't be idle, either of you. As he spoke, the third uncle took out two pairs of chopsticks and handed them to us: "You two sit behind the desk with chopsticks, and after seeing that I give you a signal, you will ring these wine glasses on the table." Try to be as fast as possible, knock every glass on it, and don't miss it. ”
"Third uncle, what are you doing here?" Fat Dahai asked puzzled.
After he and the third uncle got to know each other, he has been calling me the third uncle, and the name is closer than me, and the third uncle also likes this fat guy very much.
The fat man's question was also what I wanted to ask, so I also looked at the third uncle nervously.
The third uncle explained: "Actually, the reason is very simple. My goal is to break the connection between the poisonous silkworm and the insect master. Although I don't know the specific method of controlling poisonous insects, I do know that they should be controlled by sound waves. So I've got these glasses, and when you hit different types of glasses, they emit different sound waves. I think there must be something similar to the sound waves they use to control poisonous insects, so that the purpose of confusing their instructions is to confuse them. ”
After the third uncle's explanation, I was also suddenly enlightened, and I couldn't help but be impressed by the brilliance of the third uncle's brain
。 That's the safest way we can come up with it right now.
The third uncle continued: "The connection between the insect master and the poisonous insects is severed, and those poisonous insects will obediently fall into the legal net when they smell the mulberry leaves." ”
The third uncle was complacent and seemed to be confident.
Fat Dahai took the chopsticks and asked, "Then when do we start knocking, and when are we going to knock?" ”
The third uncle said: "From the time when the poisonous silkworms appeared, to the time when all the poisonous silkworms were caught. Don't worry about anything else, just watch my signal, don't bother me yet. ”
As he spoke, the third uncle sat on the bed and closed his eyes.
I sat behind the table with Fat Dahai, very nervous. What the third uncle said was very general, and there was no exact time, so neither of us dared to be careless, and we didn't dare to blink our eyes.
It was already midnight, and there was silence inside and outside the building.
The fat man and I could clearly hear each other's heartbeats, and I peeked at the clock on the wall, it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning.
The third uncle sat on the bed, his eyes closed, motionless.
I doubt he's asleep, right? Let's look at his signals, but where are the signals?
The high level of mental tension made me very tired, and the fat man was also drowsy, and kept dozing.
And at this moment, there was a sudden movement in the house.
I was excited, and I didn't feel sleepy.
I noticed the movement coming from the glass bottle on the bedside table.
At this time, the dying mosquitoes and flies in the glass bottle began to be restless. The sound was from mosquitoes and flies constantly hitting the inner wall of the glass bottle.
In the beginning, only a few mosquitoes and flies were hitting the inner wall. Soon, however, almost all of the bugs in the bottle began to come alive. As soon as they could fly, they flapped their wings and slammed into the inner wall. Those who can climb are also desperately crawling along the inner wall of the bottle, they climb to the position of the mouth of the bottle, and they fall, but they still climb up the inner wall again, and keep repeating.
Those little mosquitoes and flies slammed the glass bottles. Now they are in a very different state than before, and it is clear that they have foreseen danger.
It was at this moment that the third uncle's closed eyes opened suddenly. He glanced at the glass bottle and quickly pointed to the glasses.
I hurriedly pushed the fat sea that was dozing off, and this thing was excited. I pointed to my glass and was the first to knock it.
The crisp sound of percussion echoed through the room. Those wine glasses, sure enough, are different models, and the sound scales they produce are also different. If you know some rhythm and put these glasses together, you can play a beautiful tune.
It's just that Fat Dahai and I are knocking out of order, and the sound is different, which is called a mess.
It may be that the third uncle wants such an effect, he nodded at us and motioned for us not to stop.
The room was filled with the sound of glass cups tapping, which gradually drowned out the sound of mosquitoes and flies hitting glass bottles.
But the poisonous silkworm we wanted to catch never appeared.
The insect trap in the middle of the ground did not move at all.
There is no three
Uncle's order, we didn't dare to stop, still tapping those wine glasses.
And so it took about another ten minutes.
Although the force of hitting the glass was not great, the repetitive movements still made my arms a little sore.
This seemingly inconspicuous job is actually difficult to operate.
If this continues, in another ten minutes, it is estimated that the rhythm of the two of us tapping the wine glass will slow down.
At this time, the third uncle, who had been searching for the target on the ground, suddenly fixed his eyes in one direction.
