Chapter 40: Skinning the Frog

After seven o'clock, the sky was dark, and the fields were hazy, and there was a momentum that was slowly enveloping the night.

But because there was a disc hanging in the sky, and there were many flickering stars next to it, the whole field seemed to be covered with a layer of darkness, not to mention bright as day, but at least you could still see the shadow of things clearly.

Ye Zhenzhen held Gui Feng's hand and stood in the rows of straw standing steadily, as if she was in the midst of thousands of troops on standby.

"Zhenzhen, what the hell are you going to do......"

Gui Feng really didn't understand what Ye Zhenzhen wanted to do, she was impatient, so she pulled Ye Zhenzhen's hand and asked.

After asking, Ye Zhenzhen covered her mouth.

"Don't talk, you'll find out later."

Gui Feng hurriedly closed his mouth, and when Ye Zhenzhen let go of her hand and didn't speak again, the two of them continued to stand quietly, and there were miscellaneous sounds in their ears one after another.

"Quack...... "That's the sound of a frog.

"Chirp chirp...... that's the cry of a cricket.

There are also some straws that are crushed by the beating of frogs or crickets, which are very clear when it is completely dark.

Because Gui Feng had spoken, there was not much noise around them for a while, and those voices came from a distance, and after waiting for a while, the two of them felt that those voices were getting closer and closer......

"Quack ......"

Suddenly, a clear and loud voice sounded, and Gui Feng saw that Ye Zhenzhen's gaze suddenly fell on the cage of straw beside him that made a sound.

She finally understood what Ye Zhenzhen was going to do, it turned out that she was going to catch frogs!

Just thinking about it, I saw Ye Zhenzhen stretch out her hand and push down the cage of straw with lightning speed, and by the moonlight, I saw a frog hiding where the straw stood.

Without shelter, the frog stopped calling in fright, and was about to flee with its legs extended.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't know where the courage came from, the whole person jumped suddenly, and pounced on the frog, and Gui Feng was dumbfounded by that posture......

"Zhenzhen, you...... Do you catch frogs? ”

Ye Zhenzhen carried one of the frog's feet, pulled a straw to tie its legs, and handed it to Gui Feng.

"I go back to my hometown every year for the Chinese New Year, and I also went back to my hometown for a month before coming here, and I didn't do much work, and I caught a lot of frogs."

"I see."

Gui Feng wanted to say something, but saw that Ye Zhenzhen had bent down slightly, and continued to search forward lightly.

She looked up and saw that it was not early, and couldn't help but purse her lips.

Skillfully tethered the frog to the trouser belt, Gui Feng also bent down and looked for it in the straw pile on the other side.

During the autumn harvest, there are the most frogs, and although they are caught from time to time, Ye Zhenzhen and Gui Feng still caught about a dozen frogs without much effort.

"Guifeng, it's almost, let's go back and clean up."

It's easy to catch frogs, but it takes all the strength to pounce and jump, Gui Feng was already exhausted, so he nodded, and walked home with Ye Zhenzhen carrying a few frogs.

If it is not strange to be able to catch frogs, then Ye Zhenzhen, who can scratch the skin of frogs, is definitely a surprise to Gui Feng.

Looking at Ye Zhenzhen's familiar movements, Gui Feng shrunk his two hands to his mouth, and stared at Ye Zhenzhen's busy figure in disbelief.

"You...... You...... You even cut the skin yourself, I'...... Although I dare to catch frogs, I don't dare to cut the skin, so I ask my dad to help me get it. ”

Ye Zhenzhen smiled faintly, pressed a frog on the blade with her hand, and made a hole at its feet with the knife......

What is a frog skin?

Her mother was already frail, and she had not been fed or clothed for a long time, and she was tired, so she was in poor health.

have the heart to replenish Zhang Suwen's body, but where did they get the money to buy meat to eat?

In rural homes, rats are rampant, but when people can't eat enough, rats are born thin.

One rainy day, a mouse ran out of nowhere, a big fluffy mass, and I didn't know where to hide and steal something, and it grew fat and strong.

She was washing clothes under the eaves by the rainwater, and was startled by it, and threw all the clothes in her hands on the ground. But before she could react, her feet had already stepped forward, and she pounced hard, grabbing the mouse.

After washing the mouse, the weight was not light, she thought of Zhang Suwen who was lying on the bed sickly, and she didn't know where she got the courage, so she peeled the mouse and stir-fried it with small peppers......

Now think about it, where did the courage come from?

But I was so hungry that I was too late to be afraid and disgusted, thinking that such a fat mouse would definitely be able to fry a large plate of meat.

In this life, she didn't fall to that point, and if she was asked to catch mice and skin them, she probably wouldn't be able to do it.

"The village chief and the eldest lady are not at home, and there are no chili peppers in the stove room, do you have chili peppers at home?"

Frog meat, Ye Zhenzhen still likes to cut it into dices the most, and stir-fry it with the hot and spicy peppers, which is spicy and flavorful, and can also hide the fishy smell of the frog itself.

"Yes, then you get busy first, I'll go back and get some."

When Gui Feng returned home, she heard a familiar creaking sound from her parents' room, and she was stunned for a moment, her face slightly red.

She was seventeen years old, and she knew what was going on with this kind of loud voice that she had heard since she was a child.

But because I often hear it, I don't think it's strange, but I'm glad that they are busy and don't have time to care about her.

Sneaking to the stove room, he took a large handful of chili peppers in his clothes and prepared to escape.

Who knew that as soon as he turned around and went out, he bumped into his own little brother who rubbed his eyes and got up to the thatched house.

"Who?"

"Little brother, it's me, big sister."

Gui Feng was afraid of being treated as a thief, so he hurriedly covered Junior Brother Yang's mouth.

"Big sister? What are you doing this big night, big sister? What do you have in your pocket? ”

Gui Feng saw that Junior Brother Yang had discovered his secret, and hurriedly took a step back, "No, it's nothing, aren't you going to go to the thatched house?" Go ahead, I'...... I'll go back to sleep first. With that, he hurried away.

But he didn't notice that he was walking in the opposite direction of his room......

Little Brother Yang's eyes flashed, go back to sleep?

That was obviously the direction of the door, and he had just touched something in her pocket, which was sharp and thin, like a chili pepper, right?

There was a sudden suffocation in the lower half of the body, and the urge to urinate that couldn't be held back struck, so that Yang Xiaodi temporarily threw off everything and hurriedly stepped on his slippers and went to the toilet.

After urinating, the whole person instantly relaxed, he raised his hand and stroked his chin, put on the straw sandals under his feet, and groped out the door.

The uncle's family lives in an educated youth from the city, and I heard that the people in the city are rich and have meat to eat every day......
