Chapter 44: The Cicada's Molt

Liu Yiyu heard Liu Li say that it was a monkey, and by the way, after popping the monkey shell on the eighth sister to Liu Yiyu's feet, Liu Yiyu raised his eyes.

Isn't this monkey what the south side is talking about, it's just a retreating shell.

In his previous life, Liu Yiyu lived in the south, a group of orphanage children, like to go to the mountains to catch it, after catching it, after playing for a while, a group of children will make a fire, roast it, and eat it directly.

In his previous life, Liu Yiyu did a lot of these things when he was a child.

When he grew up, Liu Yiyu also knew that only a black crack appeared on the back of the cicada chrysalis and drilled out, and the adult shell ----was faded.

Cicada molt taste return to the meridian: sweet, salty, cool, return to the lungs, liver meridian, with evacuation of wind and heat, pharyngeal opening sound, diaphragm, clear eyes, wind and spasmodics, can be used for wind-heat cold, the beginning of fever, sore throat hoarse, measles impermeable, rubella itching, eye redness, rapid and slow convulsions, tetanus syndrome, children with restless night crying and other symptoms.

Moreover, Liu Yiyu knows that it seems that the cicada molt is still the main production in the north, since he has seen the fading shell of the cicada here, there must be a lot of cicadas here that can be picked up.

Because this thing is too light, there is no ten catties of cicadas in a burlap bag.

"Sixth sister, where did you pick up this thing?" Liu Yiyu grabbed Liu Yimeng's shoulder and asked.

"Eldest sister, what did I pick up under that tree?" Liu Yimeng was grabbed by the eldest sister on the shoulder and asked about the insect shell, Liu Yimeng seemed to be stunned for a while, and after coming back to his senses, he pointed to the big tree not far from his bamboo house.

"Eldest sister, what's wrong with you, can't this thing make money?" Liu Yihao saw the light in the eyes of the eldest sister, thinking that when the eldest sister saw the honeysuckle for the first time, this kind of light flashed in her eyes, and suddenly, Liu Yihao asked with a move in his heart.

After hearing Liu Yihao's words that the shell of this monkey could be sold for money, the grandmother, mother, and second sister on the side immediately surrounded them, and looked at Liu Yiyu with their eyes.

"This eldest sister is not sure, last time I saw this kind of thing in the yard of Xun Lao, it seems to be a little similar, and a little different? Otherwise, let's pick up some and go to the town tomorrow to ask." Cicada is a Chinese medicinal material, and if it is collected by the pharmacy, it will definitely be able to sell for money, Liu Yiyu casually found an excuse.

"Eldest sister, this is done, let's pick it up, pick up some more, in case this can be sold for money, our family will have an additional source of income." Liu Yihao said, he was going to carry the bamboo basket and walk out.

"It's broad daylight, don't go, grandma has a way to specify more than you to pick up." Liu Zhang took Liu Yihao's hand, first wiped the sweat on Liu Yihao's forehead, and then said.

"Grandma's method". Liu Yiyu asked.

"This monkey was just born is a cicada chrysalis, crawling out of the soil, and then climbing up the tree, we just need to go to the tree at night to see, as long as the cicada chrysalis climbs the tree, first catch it, put it in a sealed bamboo basket, put them overnight, and when he automatically fades the shell, we will be able to sit and wait for the harvest tomorrow."

"This is a good method". It is really an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, Liu Yiyu's eyes lit up after hearing Grandma's words.

After the Liu family found a new source of income, they calculated one by one.

Since he planned to catch the cicada chrysalis tonight, Liu Yiyu planned that those people would go at night and those people would stay at home.

The seventh brother and the eighth sister are too young to go, and they must not be able to go, since the two little ones can't go, they must also leave an adult at home, looking at the two small ones, so that they can only choose from the grandmother and the mother, in this way, the grandmother stays at home, with the seventh brother and the eighth sister.

In the evening, the mother, herself, the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister, the fifth brother, Xun'er, and the sixth sister were dispatched.

Cicada chrysalis come out of the soil at night, climb onto trees, and then break out of their shells.

The family can't be gathered together, so they need to be divided into groups and go to places where the soil is moist and the trees are tall, so that the cicada chrysalis will break through the soil more and catch more cicada pupa.

If you are divided into two groups, my mother will lead the fifth brother, I will lead Xun'er, the second sister will lead the fourth sister, and the third sister will lead the sixth sister.

Also, since it is a family trip at night, the night is dark and the moon is high, torches are indispensable, and now the weather is hot, I am afraid that there are snakes, insects, rats and ants, these must be guarded against, in case something happens, regret it.

Liu Yiyu shared his thoughts and concerns with everyone, so that everyone could think of ideas and brainstorm.

"Torches are easy to do, we have a lot of rags, when the time comes, wrap rags around a wooden stick, apply some lard to it, make torches, light it, at least it can be burned for an hour, as for the snake, if we don't take the initiative to attack, the snake will automatically avoid, as for the scope of the search, grandma suggests, just around our bamboo house no more than 50 meters away, in this way, even if there is something, we can quickly rescue."

"If you don't have an opinion, just follow Grandma's words." Liu Yiyu listened to Grandma's words and felt that it was feasible, and after asking everyone around, seeing that everyone had no opinions, she made a decision.

In this way, the family cut the wood of the wood, cut the rags of the rags, smear the lard, make the torches, and the Liu family prepared to do a big job at night.

After the family has lunch at noon, they have a collective rest in the afternoon to nourish their spirits and prepare for the evening.

When the sky slowly got dark, the cool breeze at night was like a wash, the sky was huge, and among the grass, there were bursts of crickets and frogs.

The Liu family worked in groups of two or two, with long clothes and trousers, one carrying a basket with a lid and a torch in his hand, and one holding a long stick in his hand, which was used to explore the road and beat the grass and scare snakes.

"Be careful, don't worry if you don't get the cicada chrysalis, the most important thing for people is that when the time comes, go home, grandma is waiting for you to come back at home." Before leaving, Grandma instructed uneasily.

Four groups of people, surrounded by four bamboo house soldiers, the mother took the fifth brother to the bamboo house to walk down the mountain, Liu Yiyu took Xun'er to the bamboo house to walk up the mountain, the second sister took the fourth sister to the left of the bamboo house, and the third sister took the sixth sister to the right of the bamboo house.

Liu Yiyu took Xun'er to the mountain, Liu Yiyu walked in front, holding torches and long sticks in his hands, hitting the grass on the side of the road on the left and right, and scaring away the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the grass.

Xun'er carried the back basket with Gai'er on his back and followed closely behind Liu Yiyu.

The two of them rushed to the bottom of the big tree, but they saw a lot of cicada chrysalis breaking through the soil and climbing up the big tree.
