The next day, I made an appointment with Sima Qinglian and met at the door of the Wuhou Temple, although it has been ten years since the incident, there is no trace of the year, but the fat man came to C City for the first time, this Wuhou Temple is also one of the local attractions, no matter what, you have to take a look. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The fat man and I waited left and right at the gate of the scenic spot, from nine o'clock in the morning until more than ten o'clock, before we saw Sima Qinglian coming in a hurry. I stepped forward, but before I could speak, the fat man shouted over there: "Miss, this is all dried by a sun, so I came." ”

"There is a traffic jam on the road." Sima Qinglian replied angrily, turned her head and walked towards the entrance of the scenic spot. I spread my hands to the fat man, and the fat man shrugged his shoulders, and the matter was over.

Wuhou Temple is located in the south gate of Wuhou Temple Street, by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Shu Han Junchen and Huiling Ancestral Hall. Founded in 223 A.D., Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty once wrote a poem about it: "Where to find the prime minister's ancestral hall, Jinguan outside the city Parson." In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Wuhou Temple was incorporated into the "Han Zhaolie Temple" to form the existing Wuhou Temple of the monarchs and ministers, enjoying the reputation of "the Holy Land of the Three Kingdoms".

The fat man and I occasionally played the "Three Kingdoms", but it was a bit of a taste. Sima Qinglian seemed to be absent-minded, picking up a gap, she grabbed me and said, "Du Feng, I'm late today, it's not a traffic jam." ”

Of course, I know that it is not a traffic jam, the pace of life in city C is slow, and there are not as many cars as in city B, as long as there are no traffic accidents, the traffic jam is pure nonsense.

"It's my dad, who heard that I was coming to the Wuhou Temple, and got angry at me, saying how many times have I told you, don't go there." Sima Qinglian looked aggrieved and indignant: "I ran out secretly." ”

At noon, I ordered a few local snacks in a row stall in Huangchengba, and the fat man loved fat rice noodles and Zhang Fei beef, so he ate them directly. After dinner, I went to the garden area on the west side of Wuhou Temple, here was originally the cemetery of Liu Xiang, chairman of Sichuan Province during the Republic of China, there are stone archway gates, three cave gates, square pavilions, recommended Xin Hall and other buildings in the area, there are not many visitors, it is relatively quiet. The place where the accident occurred has long been occupied by buildings, beyond recognition, and it is separated by a wall from the place where the accident occurred, with lush vegetation and many species of insects, which is easy to capture and study, and it is also regarded as the place of origin. Actually, it's not the first time I've come here to look for the legendary golden beetle, especially in the morning dew, the beetle is the easiest to catch, but every time it always comes to nothing, today is just a stop, try your luck.

The fat man found a lawn and pretended to cooperate with the search for beetles, and I occasionally looked back to find this guy asleep on the ground. There are a lot of insects in the grass, but there are not many beetles, Sima Qinglian caught a small insect, shouted and ran over to offer treasure, I looked, damn, it is an ordinary heavenly cow. I finally found two more, but one was a yellow bending strip jumping beetle, and the other was a Mongolian gray weevil, which was not my dish at all.

Beetles belong to the order Coleopteran insects, the body has a hard shell on the outside, the forewings are, thick and hard, the hindwings are membranous, there are more than 350,000 species of beetles, it is the largest subject in the animal kingdom, and it is the most widely distributed insect order in the world. It's inconceivable to find 350,000 species other than those that have never seen anything alive in this small area. Sometimes I suspect that my father might have encountered a cantharid, commonly known as the Spanish fly. This kind of thing is distributed all over the country, there are yellow spots at the base of the wings, bright colors, they migrate and fly in groups, there is a yellow spotted stinger in the body is highly venomous, 30 milligrams into the human body can cause death, it is one of the most poisonous beetles in the world. However, the specimen provided by the professor rejected my suspicion, and since there were specimens, someone must have found the real thing.

Soon the sun went down and we got nothing. Sima Qinglian was a little deflated, she sat on the lawn, watched me rummage through the grass roots in vain, and said, "Du Feng, forget it, so many years have passed, even if there is the golden beetle you are looking for, it will have already flown away." ”

Flew? Yes, based on various previous information, this golden beetle has a different habit from other species of beetles, and they should have a rare swarm. Some insects of a group, because the living environment is not suitable, will have a purposeful migration, just like migratory birds, but unlike migratory birds, they will often be led by the queen of insects, the whole nest will be transferred together, after selecting a suitable breeding place, generally will not return to the original place, the most typical is ants. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, maybe my previous thinking had entered a big misunderstanding, this creature may not be Coleoptera insects, but belong to the arthropod phylum Hymenoptera. But is there such a big ant? Even the marching ants in the dense forest desert don't bring such a big one. At this moment, as a ray of slanting sunlight shone on the Dongqing leaves more than ten meters away on the opposite side, I suddenly saw the other side of the bush, where someone was secretly hiding, peeping at us. I quietly pulled Sima Qinglian and whispered, "Don't look back, don't look back." ”

Through the gap in the leaves, I could see that the man had a very strange face, with a surprisingly large nose, a pale complexion, and a smile on his face, which was very strange. After about seven or eight minutes, the man was still there, and he seemed very attached to our interest. After making a look at Sima Qinglian, I bent my waist and quietly walked around the side. As if noticing my attention, there was a sudden "horn" sound over there, and I rushed forward with a hurried lunge and grabbed the man's shirt. Hey, the tentacles don't feel right, slippery and don't leave your hands, take a closer look,, what's with what, where is the person, it's clearly a grave stone servant's severed head, thrown there, under the cover of leaves, vaguely can't see the truth, and secretly scolded me TM It's really a mere mere disturbance. But I don't know why, in the perception, an uncomfortable feeling of staring at people is very real, like a thorn in the back.

Returning to Sima Qinglian's side, I smiled bitterly and laughed at myself: "People are scary and scared to death, I look at the flowers, it turns out to be a stone man." Sima Qinglian stared straight at the stone man, lost her mind, like a clay carved wooden statue, and did not move.

"Qinglian? Sima Qinglian? I reached out and shook it in front of her, then pushed her shoulder: "What's wrong?" ”

With a "whew", she let out a long breath, turned her head to stare at me for a good minute, and then said with a serious expression: "No, you read that right, it is indeed a person." ”

I smiled lightly, didn't tell her apart, and turned my head to look for the fat man: "Fat man, it's time to go home for dinner." The fat man who was still sleeping on the ground over there crawled up: "Eat, where to eat?" ”
