It was getting dark, and the two children by the river looked at the river and did not speak to each other.

"Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao!"

A woman's call came from afar, Huang Jiayao pricked up her ears and listened, and stood up in a hurry.

"Eh, here I am!" Huang Jiayao shouted loudly.

"It's time to eat, come back soon! What did you run to the water's edge to play, and told you that you are not allowed to play in the water! A woman on the path in the distance shouted to Huang Jiayao and walked this way.

"My mom is calling me, I'm going home." Huang Jiayao stuck out her tongue and looked at Wei Lin and said.

Wei Lin looked at the sky and nodded: "Then you go back, I will go back too." ”

Saying that, she put away the fishing rod and bait, Huang Jiayao was about to walk in the direction of her mother, but after walking a few steps, she turned around and said, "By the way, Brother Lin, where do you live?" ”

Wei Lin pointed to the small alley next to him and said, "The innermost house at the end of this alley is my grandmother's house, and I live there." ”

Huang Jiayao looked in the direction Wei Lin pointed, nodded and said, "I know, will Xiao Yao come to play with you tomorrow?" ”

"Hmm." Welling nodded.

"Then let's say so, goodbye Brother Lin!"

Huang Jiayao's happy little eyes smiled into a crescent moon, said goodbye to Wei Lin, and jumped to her mother.

。。。。。。

At noon the next day, Wei Lin was watching cartoons at home after eating, when his grandfather's voice suddenly came from outside: "Awei, someone is looking for you!" ”

Wei Lin walked out suspiciously, and saw Huang Jiayao standing there talking to his grandfather at the gate.

"Xiao Yao, what are your parents doing at home?"

"My dad went out to make money, and my mom worked in the fields."

"Why did you come to play with Awe?" His grandfather asked with a smile.

"We agreed yesterday that we would hang out together today!"

••••••

Answering Wei Lin's grandfather's question, Huang Jiayao saw Wei Lin coming out of the house, and waved his hand happily, Huang Jiayao was wearing a yellow top with a Mickey Mouse pattern and a pair of denim strap shorts today, and she didn't know what she was holding in her pockets.

"Brother Lin, I'm coming to you, I said I'm going to hang out with Xiao Yao today."

"Hmm."

Wei Lin nodded, and Huang Jiayao stepped forward with a smile and grabbed his hand.

"Then grandpa, let's go out and play first!" Huang Jiayao waved goodbye to his grandfather and pulled Wei Lin outside.

"Awe, do you remember to come back before dinner and hear it?"

Behind him, his grandfather admonished him, and then went back to the house.

Wei Lin, who was pulled by Huang Jiayao, followed her all the way to the river, and Huang Jiayao took him to the right.

"Where are we going?" Wei Lin couldn't help but ask.

"I'll take my brother to catch grasshoppers!"

"Go to the mountains." Huang Jiayao pointed to the stone mountain in front of her.

"Huh? Why do you want to catch grasshoppers in the mountains? ”

"A few days ago, I went with my mother to the mountain god Uncle to incense, and found a place where there were a lot of small grasshoppers, a lot." Huang Jiayao exaggerated a big circle with her hand.

"Uncle Mountain God?"

Huang Jiayao saw Wei Lin's puzzled look and explained: "Brother Lin, you may not know that you don't come often, there is a mountain temple on the top of this mountain, and I asked my mother to take me with me a few days ago, so I only found out." ”

Wei Lin looked at the mountain in front of him, shook his head and said reluctantly, "I don't want to go." ”

"Why don't you want to go?"

"It's going to be tiring to walk up."

Wei Lin looked at the winding mountain road, and he was already tired of the trouble and retreated.

Huang Jiayao glanced at the road to the mountain, then at Wei Lin, and finally lowered her head and didn't speak, obviously unhappy.

Wei Lin couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he saw her like this.

"Why do you have to catch grasshoppers?" Wei Lin asked puzzled.

Huang Jiayao raised her head, looked away and said, "It's because Huang Huang likes to eat grasshoppers, and I want to catch it and eat it." ”

"What is Huanghuang?"

Huang Jiayao explained: "Huang Huang is a chick I raised, very cute! ”

After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be a chicken, and it turned out that Huang Jiayao had been shouting that she was going to catch the grasshopper just to feed it, and Wei Lin, who knew the facts, didn't know what to say.

"Brother Lin, you can go with me."

Huang Jiayao pouted and looked at Wei Lin with pleading eyes, pulling his sleeve with his small hand, Wei Lin couldn't stand her soft and hard request, so he agreed.

"Brother Lin is the best!" Seeing that Wei Lin agreed, Huang Jiayao smiled brightly again.

Wei Lin, who had never been on the mountain, followed Huang Jiayao all the way to the top of the mountain, and saw a lonely temple.

The plaque of the temple reads "Mountain Temple" with three golden characters, and the inscription is very eye-catching, but the overall wall ash of this temple is peeling off, and the cracks on the door frame make it look crumbling.

"This is it!" Huang Jiayao pulled Wei Lin and walked in, originally Wei Lin was afraid that there were people inside, but when he went in, he realized that there was no one inside, only a statue of a god placed on the high platform and a half-burned incense candle.

When I saw someone coming down the mountain on the road, it should have been inserted here by the person who came down the mountain.

"Is there no one to guard here?"

Looking at the quiet mountain temple, even if the sun is on in the afternoon, it looks a little gloomy because of the lack of popularity.

"I don't know, I remember the last time I came with my mother, there were people inside."

"Forget it, Brother Lin, come with me." Huang Jiayao pulled Wei Lin around to the back of the idol, Huang Jiayao pointed to the back of the idol and said, "Brother Lin, look at that!" ”

Wei Lin looked in the direction pointed by Huang Jiayao, and suddenly took a step back in fright, what he saw was that the back of the mountain god statue was densely crawled with small gray grasshoppers, and the back of the whole god statue looked as if it was squirming, which was very mad.

As long as there is a certain amount of anything, it will make people feel fearful, Wei Lin originally had no feeling for grasshoppers, and he used to catch and play with them, but he still felt scared when he saw so many lying together.

Seeing Wei Lin take a step back, Huang Jiayao said curiously, "Brother Lin, are you scared?" ”

Looking at Huang Jiayao, who was standing next to him like no one else, Wei Lin forced himself to calm down, and pretended to be relaxed: "How is it possible, I just saw so many grasshoppers all of a sudden, some... Just surprised. ”

Seeing Wei Lin's relaxed appearance, Huang Jiayao said with some embarrassment: "Brother Lin is so powerful, in fact, I was really scared when I saw this for the first time, I wanted to tell my mother, but my mother thought I was making trouble and kicked me out." ”

"Uh... Are we going to catch the grasshoppers on this? Welling's voice trembled slightly.

Huang Jiayao shook her head: "No, Brother Wei Lin, look at it, there is a small hole there, from the hole from time to time there will be grasshoppers running out, we can catch it at the mouth of the hole!"

Wei Lin looked over and found that there was a small hole five or six meters away from the back of the statue, and there were indeed many grasshoppers around the mouth of the hole.

Huang Jiayao took out two plastic bags from her pocket and handed one to Wei Lin, it turned out that she had this thing in her bulging pocket.

"Brother Lin, let's compete to see who catches more!"

As long as they are not close to the place on the back of the statue, these grasshoppers are easy for Wei Lin, and seeing Huang Jiayao talking about the game, it also aroused Wei Lin's competitiveness as a boy, so the two of them scrambled to catch the grasshoppers on the ground with plastic bags.
