Chapter 82: Catching Crickets

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! The night is thick, the moon dew is deep, and in the quiet night, you can hear the subtle breathing of the person beside you.

An Xiuer took Zhang Zhenan's hand away, got out of his arms, saw that he was sleeping fragrantly, she smiled slightly, got up from the bed, got dressed, just walked a few steps, but helplessly pinched her waist, looked back, tucked the tent, then picked up the oil lamp, gently pushed the door open, and you tiptoed out.

Gently fastening the door, she dared to light the oil lamp with a fire fold, and picked up a small bamboo cage outside, and then tiptoed out of the yard with the oil lamp.

The night was very quiet, a few frogs cooed, occasionally there were a few unknown insect chirps, the faint moonlight sprinkled down, the surrounding trees were shadowy, some seeping, a cool breeze blew, An Xiuer tightened her clothes.

She carried the oil lamp and continued to walk forward, until she reached the entrance of the village, under the moonlight, there was a man waiting quietly in front of the village, on the cold stone road, the moon stretched his shadow for a long time.

An Xiu'er ran over happily when she saw him, and called in a low voice: "Second brother." ”

"Xiu'er." The man turned his head, it was An Tiemu, when he saw An Xiu'er, he grinned at her, he was the same as An Tieshi, he was not good at talking, and when he laughed, a mouthful of big white teeth flashed in the moonlight.

"Second brother, you've been waiting for a long time." An Xiu'er said apologetically, if Zhang Zhen'an hadn't tossed her for a while, she would have come over a long time ago.

"Nope." An Tiemu shook his head and walked forward.

An Xiu'er followed him, and the two of them walked towards a small hill over there, where it was sparsely populated, the grass was green, and the night was already a little deep.

An Tiemu was wearing straw sandals, and he had already pulled up his trousers, and An Xiu'er said when she saw this: "Second brother, this grass is also a little prickly, maybe there are insects, you better put down the trouser tube." ”

"It's okay, the second brother is not afraid of this." An Tiemu shook his head, he is a man, will he be afraid of some small insects? What's more, the purpose of him coming out with An Xiuer this time was precisely to catch insects.

Oh, to be exact, the two of them came out to catch crickets.

This season is the season of fighting crickets, An Xiu'er wants to make more money, so she discussed with An Tiemu, and the two decided to come out at night to catch crickets, and tonight, it was the second time they came.

An Tiemu is a good hand at catching crickets, but he never thought of catching crickets to make money before, he usually catches himself for fun, and when he sees it on weekdays, he grabs one or two, raises them, and occasionally teases them with branches and leaves, and watches them fight in the small bamboo cage.

Not only An Tiemu, in fact, many people in the village like to fight crickets, this entertainment activity in Daqi, from nobles to commoners are very fond of.

However, there are no people in Qingshui Village who specialize in raising crickets, most of them also catch one or two of them, but no one will come to catch this, An Xiuer also went to the county seat last time, so she thought about coming over to catch crickets.

In her impression, her second brother is a master of catching crickets, when she was a child, she often took her to catch crickets to play, and I still remember that in the summer of that year, he raised a cricket called the general, and he beat the invincible opponents in the village.

Thinking of this, she was a little nostalgic for the past, and as she walked, she said to An Tiemu: "Second brother, do you remember the great general you raised in the past?" ”

"Yes." An Tiemu nodded and said, "That cricket is the best cricket I have ever caught in my life, but it's a pity that it's ......."

It's just a pity that he was trampled to death by Daddy An.

Because Father An disliked him for not doing his job, he played this thing every day, which delayed the work in the field, in fact, An Tiemu did not delay the work in the field, he just went to see his cricket whenever he was free, and took some vegetable leaves to feed the cricket, or used grass blades to tease it.

In the end, I saw that Father An was angry, thinking that he spent too much time on the crickets, and he was trampled to death with one kick, not only that, but Father An also scolded An Tiemu, and since then, An Tiemu seems to have never raised crickets again.

However, An Xiu'er knew that An Tiemu still liked crickets, just to prevent Father An from being angry again, so he hid this hobby in his heart, otherwise, he would not have such a regretful expression on his face now, and he would not chatter when it comes to crickets, he has never been very talkative.

An Xiuer felt that when he was a cricket, he seemed to be much younger, not like a man in his thirties, but like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, who had a natural love for crickets.

"This cricket is divided into many kinds, you wait and listen to its sound, the sound is vain and weak, the sound is loud but too sharp, like the sound of a bowl breaking, this kind of just belongs to the general; What about the best crickets, the sound must be loud and powerful, very mellow, like a bell, when the sound is heavy and melodious, such crickets are the best, and my former generals were like this. ”

"Second brother, you are so good, you know so much." An Xiu'er looked adoring.

The two of them came to their destination as they spoke, and the sounds of various crickets around them were already clear.

This place is relatively remote, grass and wet and soft, crickets like this environment the most, sawing An Tiemu said, in Qingshui Village, this is the best place to catch crickets, the two came here last night, but because the two have not caught it for a long time, but some lack of experience, An Xiuer and the two caught a few crooked melons and cracked dates, and the best one caught was only a medium.

However, with yesterday's experience, An Xiu'er worked hard, today she must catch a high-quality cricket, An Tiemu has not played with crickets for a long time after all, and he went to catch it all at once yesterday, he just had time to prepare the tools, but he was not so handy.

But after catching those crickets yesterday, An Tiemu played for a long time, and now An Tiemu is also older, and he is a father, and Father An will no longer care about him as much as before, and even when An Tiemu was raising crickets, he also looked at it twice, and didn't say anything, just nodded, and still let him raise and toss.

Because of teasing for a long time, An Tiemu felt that he had regained the feeling he had before, there were so many crickets here, and tonight, he was also confident that he could catch a good cricket.

The two sat on a stone and rested for a while, the sound in their ears became clearer, An Tiemu carefully distinguished the voice of the cricket, and then made a gesture towards An Xiu'er, and went to the loud place, the two crept over, the sound suddenly stopped again, An Tiemu did not panic, just waved his hand to let An Xiu'er stop, the two stood in place, and after a while, the cricket's chirping sound was really loud again.

The loud chirping was close to her ears, and An Xiu'er carried an oil lamp to shine it, and sure enough, she saw a big yellow cricket sitting on this blade of grass and singing.

Seeing An Xiu'er and the two coming, it stopped chirping, turned its head, glanced at the two of them humanely with black eyes, and was about to jump away with its long legs.

An Xiu'er approached the oil lamp, An Tiemu carefully grabbed the cricket, An Xiu'er hurriedly handed over the bamboo cage in his hand, An Tiemu observed it carefully for a while, and saw it waving a pair of big steel teeth towards the two of them, An Tiemu laughed, put the cricket in the cage, and said, "Yes, we have a good start tonight." ”

"Is this cricket good?" An Xiu'er asked.

"Well, it's considered upper-middle, of course, it's not as good as my former general." An Tiemu replied, although he remembered his former crickets, but obviously he was in a good mood.

When An Xiu'er heard him say this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and the two stopped again and continued to listen to the sound of insects in the wilderness.

This is also thanks to An Tiemu's familiarity with the cricket's call, if it is An Xiu'er, maybe she can distinguish the sound of this cricket, after all, she is not very familiar with this cricket, and in this wilderness, not only crickets can chirp, but there are many other insects.

In the past, An Xiu'er didn't dare to come out at night, but she had nothing to be afraid of with her second brother, although she was not particularly familiar with the voice of the cricket, but she still listened carefully, and soon she also heard the voice of the cricket.

"Second brother, listen, is there a cricket over there? I listened to it very loudly. An Xiu'er said to An Tiemu.

"Well, go over and have a look." An Tiemu listened twice, nodded, and walked towards the side An Xiu'er pointed to.

"It's a cricket." After walking a few steps, An Tiemu first affirmed An Xiu'er's hearing, which made An Xiu'er quite satisfied, compared to yesterday, she had improved a lot.

This time the two of them walked over lightly, An Xiu'er used the oil lamp to shine around, and did not see the trace of the cricket, but the cry did come from here, An Tiemu squatted down, An Xiu'er also bent down, put the oil lamp lower, watched An Tiemu pull away the grass and trees, and grabbed the cricket with one hand.

"How?" An Xiu'er was a little excited, after all, she heard this cricket.

"It's a virtual bug." An Temu replied.

"What do you call a virtual bug?" An Xiu'er didn't understand a little.

"That is to say, this guy can only scream, and he is not good at fighting at all." An Temu chuckled.

Hearing this, An Xiu'er was a little disappointed and said, "Doesn't that mean that this guy has no effect at all?" Did I catch it in vain? "She felt cheated.
