When the locust plague came, he was studying in the town academy, and he was frightened by the overwhelming locusts, and he wanted to go home to have a look, but was stopped by the gentlemen of the academy. Therefore, the experience of catching locusts is not his share.

Although the army of locusts has passed, there are many locusts left, gnawing on all the dead grass and roots that can be eaten. If you catch it, you can catch a lot of it in a day! Little Stone is eager to experience the joy of catching locusts.

Yu Xiaocao saw that the two little guys were very interested, so he also carried a bag, followed behind them, and walked towards the former mountain forest at the foot of the West Mountain. Along the way, the mountain road that should have been covered with green is now left with bare roots of plants and black and yellow soil. On the roots of the remaining plants, there are still green or yellow-brown locusts lying on their stomachs, which are gnawing with taste.

The vibrant West Mountain in the past also seems to be a decadent old man in his twilight. All the edible leaves in the forest have been gnawed away, and only the bare branches remain, making people feel as if it is the middle of winter. In the dense grass and bushes, countless locusts are still gnawing unrelentingly, and if you listen closely, you can faintly hear the rustling sound.

"Let's catch it here, don't go any further into the mountains and forests!" Looking at such mountains and forests, Yu Xiaocao felt a little uneasy in his heart. If the plants and trees were eaten by locusts, the herbivorous animals would probably starve to death because they had no food. If the herbivorous animals are gone, will those carnivorous beasts come down the mountain to plague the village? Yu Xiaocao let out a long sigh, hoping that her worries were unnecessary!

Xiao Shi and Liu Fangping, the two little guys, had already plunged into the grass, grabbed the locusts and stuffed them into their pockets. When locusts encounter people, they will naturally jump away or fly away, which is a bit difficult to catch. However, the two little guys are very experienced in catching grasshoppers, although they are not as fast as when the locust plague comes, they can also catch several catties in an hour!

"Rabbit! Rabbit!! After Liu Fangping scurried into a bush, a sensitive gray figure jumped out of the grass and ran away quickly. The little one chased after him a few steps, lost the figure of the hare, pouted his mouth, and came back unhappily.

Xiao Shi grinned and said, "Xiao Fangping, your legs can outrun rabbits!" Let me tell you, my second sister is a good hand at hares, if you are hungry for hare meat, you can ask her to help you set a few home. ”

Liu Fangping's eyes lit up, and he rushed to Yu Xiaocao's face, his crystal clear eyes flashed with joy and expectation: "Second cousin, really? Will you set a rabbit? ”

In the past six months, Liu Fangping has eaten well and slept well at his uncle and aunt's house, and the silly music of having no heart and lungs every day is no longer the thin appearance he was when he came. Yu Xiaocao pinched the flesh on his cheek and said with a smile: "It will be yes, but it is not as mysterious as what your brother Shi said." If you can't do it, don't cry! ”

Liu Fangping wagged his tail and spun around Yu Xiaocao excitedly, and said eagerly: "No!" Second cousin, if you need something, I'll go back and get it! ”

Yu Xiaocao magically took out a rope from his pocket, chose a hidden bush, and put it on the cover. In order not to disappoint the two children, she sprinkled a few drops of spirit stone liquid near the dead grass.

"Is that okay?" Liu Fangping turned around again, looked at the simple rope noose on the ground, and asked in disbelief.

Yu Xiaocao patted his little head and said, "The rope noose is down, I don't know if there are hares passing by." It's all a matter of luck. Let's go, keep catching your grasshoppers! ”

Yu Xiaocao laid a total of five rope nooses, and when it was almost noon, the two children had already caught most of the bags of locusts, and they ran impatiently to their sister (cousin), their expressions were very synchronous, and they all looked at her with anticipation and excitement.

Yu Xiaocao playfully touched the faces of the two little guys at the same time with his hand stained with the juice spit out of the locust's mouth, and without waiting for the little stone to complain, he waved his arms: "Go!" Go reel in the noose!! ”

Of the five rope nooses, three missed, and the remaining two netted their prey. One is a hare still alive, and the other is a pheasant. Looking at the skinny hare, the shadow in Yu Xiaocao's heart became heavier.

At noon, the two little ones nibbled on a hare and pheasant meat that did not have much meat, which was more fragrant than eating braised pork, and felt that they had caught it with their sister (cousin). Yu Xiaocao told her family about her worries.

Yu Hai's thick eyebrows were knotted in the center of his eyebrows, the old mansion of the Yu family was built at the foot of the mountain, only a mile or two away from the West Mountain, if there was really a hungry beast coming down the mountain, the first to bear the brunt of it was a few families under the mountain.

After eating, Yu Hai found the Qian family and the Zhou family who lived nearby, and told Xiaocao's worries, and the two families became nervous. Qian Wen's father, Qian Fugui, looked at Yu Haidao and said: "Brother Dahai, you can hunt among us, what you say, we will do it!" ”

Yu Hai told the two of them his thoughts: "I mean, we must take precautions. Let's dig some traps near the courtyard wall and in the surrounding open space, so that when the beasts come, we can have a defense. Fortunately, the courtyard wall of the three of us is relatively high, and when the beast comes, it may not be able to jump over, as long as the gate is guarded! I'm going to go to town this afternoon, buy some hunting gear, and we'll start digging traps in the evening. What do you think? ”

Qian Fugui and Zhou Danian did not disagree, the two discussed it for a while, and said, "It's hard work in the afternoon, brother Haihai." The courtyard walls of our two families are not as strong as your house, and they will be repaired in the afternoon. ”

While Yu Hai was discussing with his neighbors how to prevent wild beasts, Yu Xiaocao was going to the secret base to see the situation. When Xiao Shi found out, he had to follow. Yu Xiaocao had no choice but to take this little tail with her.

Who knew that when he went out, Liu Fangping saw it, and when he heard that he was going to the mountains, he jumped up and down and called for him to take him. No matter how Yu Xiaocao explained the danger of the mountains and forests, the little guy just didn't listen. And he said, "You can all go, why can't I?" Cousin, if you don't take me, I'll cry to you! "Well, all the threats have been taken!

Yu Xiaocao was forced to take two small burdens and walk through the familiar mountains and forests. The bushes and weeds were almost infested by the locusts, and at most there were pitiful rhizomes, which made it much easier for the three children to walk.

An hour later, the three of them burrowed into the dark hole. Xiao Fangping grabbed the corner of his cousin's clothes tightly, and said with some fear: "Second cousin, there won't be a man-eating beast in the cave, right?" ”

The little stone frightened him: "Yes! How not? Last time I came here with my second sister, I met a wolf who was so big and majestic! ”

Xiao Fangping's voice trembled and asked, "That...... How did you escape from the bottom of the wolf? Didn't get hurt? ”

Xiao Shi scolded him for being a coward with a smile, and continued: "That gray wolf was not hungry at the time, my second sister fed it some water, and he left!" So, don't run around when the time comes, be careful that the big bad wolf eats you! ”

Liu Fangping nodded obediently and said, "I'm obedient, I'll follow my second cousin and won't go anywhere!" ”

There are holes on the left and right sides of the cave, small stones have been explored in it, some of the holes can only accommodate one or two people, some are very large, and it is no problem to hold one or two hundred people. Xiao Shi proudly introduced his adventure experience to this cousin, who was more than a month younger than himself. Liu Fang usually let out one or two envious exclamations from time to time.

"II...... Second cousin, what's green over there? Ghost fire? Liu Fangping looked in the direction pointed by the small stone, but found that there was a pair of miserable green luminous bodies, gradually approaching them, and he was so frightened that he hid his body behind Yu Xiaocao, only revealing one head, and glanced at the green fluorescence in horror.

"Little wolf, is that you?" Yu Xiaocao shouted at Fluorescence with a little nervousness. The green light moving in this direction paused, then quickly approached this direction.

Liu Fangping let out a miserable scream: "It's coming, it's coming!" Second cousin, let's run away! ”

The green fluorescence got closer, and Xiao Shi saw the familiar gray wolf not far away, threw away the stone in his hand that was ready to defend himself, turned back and comforted Xiao Fangping: "Don't be afraid, this is the big bad wolf I told you." Don't bite! ”

Liu Fangping also saw the gray wolf in front of him who was taller than him, and said tremblingly: "You also said that it didn't eat you last time because it wasn't hungry." Who knows if it's hungry now? ”

The gray wolf had come to a position two steps in front of the three of them, tilting its head to look at them. After seeing Yu Xiaocao, he seemed to recognize her, and the tail hanging behind him swayed from side to side, stepping on elegant steps, and slowly approaching her. Liu Fangping let out a scream in fright, and the gray wolf stopped again and looked at him vigilantly.

Yu Xiaocao stepped forward, patted the gray wolf's head gently, and said with a smile: "Little wolf, why did you appear in the cave, did you greet us?" ”

The gray wolf licked her palms and looked at her with a wistful look. Yu Xiaocao poured out two drops of spirit stone liquid from the porcelain bottle, and the gray wolf quickly licked it clean.

"Really, this big bad wolf doesn't bite!" Liu Fangping was scared to death just now, but at this moment, he looked at the little wolf in surprise and asked Yu Xiaocao, "Second cousin, can I touch it?" ”

The little stone frightened him: "No! The little wolf won't even let me touch it, let alone you! Don't reach out, be careful to bite off the back of your hand! ”

When Liu Fangping heard this, he hurriedly put his hands behind his back and looked at the gray wolf nervously.

Sunlight shines through the cracks in the roof of the cave, so it is not dim. Yu Xiaocao watched her younger brother bully her cousin, and smiled silently. She patted the wolf cub and was about to go to the valley. Unexpectedly, the corner of his clothes was pulled.

Yu Xiaocao thought it was done by Xiao Fangping, but when he looked back, he found that he was bitten by a gray wolf. She asked with some surprise, "Little wolf, what's wrong?" Can I help you? ”

The gray wolf turned his head and walked towards a hole, walked a few steps, looked back at Yu Xiaocao who was standing in place, as if asking, "Why don't you come with me?" ”
