Chapter 273: Catching Fireflies
After the death of the villagers, they were buried on the mountain.
After a long time, people divided a place to be used as a cemetery, and everyone found a piece of land in the divided place to bury people.
So that the cemetery looks a little messy, and some people have been closed to their homes for a long time, so no one cares about these cemeteries.
Over time, those old graves became a little tattered after being beaten by the wind and rain.
After the last wild boar herd was frightened by Su Taotao, they ran around, ran to the place where the villagers buried the dead by mistake, and trampled on a lot of cemeteries.
When the village chief learned about this, he hesitated for a moment and decided to renovate all the graves.
After all, some of the old graves that have no descendants and have been extinct have not been worshiped for many years, and they are in tatters, and now they are being made so much trouble by wild boars, and they are even more unsightly.
This is a big project, and because some of the owners of the tombs have no descendants, the money needed to repair the tombs can only be paid by everyone.
On average, the people in the whole village will not contribute too much money per family.
Most of the people have no opinions, but some people in the village have some difficulties at home, or people who love money as much as their lives, and they are not very happy, and they drag it out one by one.
It's nothing for other people to give their share of the money, but if they let them pay more, it won't work.
So this matter is still in the pipeline, and there is no follow-up.
"But not everyone wants to pay, let alone pay more than others, so this matter has not been resolved yet."
"When I passed by the door of the village chief's grandfather's house just now, I heard the village chief's grandfather's sigh."
"Why don't you want to pay?"
A naïve child asked suspiciously.
She had heard her grandmother say that the cemetery on the mountain could be regarded as the ancestral grave of the people in their village, after all, where everyone's ancestors were buried, it was a place shared by everyone in their village.
Since it is owned by everyone, why do some people not pay for it?
"I don't know."
The girl who was the first to mention this shook her head, she didn't know this kind of thing.
She just followed what the adults said, and copied the gourd painting scoop.
"I also happened to hear the village chief's grandfather say that something seemed wrong with the graveyard on the mountain."
"They had already cleaned up the things that had been destroyed by the wild boars, but every time they went up the mountain, the things that were cleaned up and thrown aside were all over again."
"And around the cemetery I don't know why, there are always animals dying there, bleeding all over the ground."
"The village chief's grandfather said that the ancestors were angry."
Hearing this, Su Taotao subconsciously stopped the swing.
How does this sound a little unusual?
Is someone making trouble and deliberately causing panic in people's hearts?
Or is there something on the mountain?
But I didn't feel it.
Su Taotao unconsciously bit her index finger, with a small face, and her serious and serious look made people can't help but want to pinch her fleshy cheeks.
"Momo, what do you want?"
Yang Hongzhi watched Su Taotao playing, and suddenly stopped, his eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of the mountain, with a thoughtful look.
"Want to go to the mountains?"
"No, it's ······"
Su Taotao subconsciously opened her mouth to answer, but after she reacted, she quickly stopped.
"It's not an important thing, it's just that I suddenly thought that now it's Brother Hongzhi's turn."
Su Taotao grinned, jumped off the swing, and changed to someone else to play.
"Brother Hongzhi, come quickly."
Yang Hongzhi saw that Su Taotao seemed to have come back to his senses, and after not continuing to ponder, he didn't ask more.
"Momo, let's go catch fireflies at night."
When it was almost time to have dinner and the sun was setting, Su Taotao and the others were about to leave, and someone in the crowd invited Su Taotao to catch fireflies together tonight.
"Fireflies?"
When Su Taotao heard the fireflies, she immediately turned around.
"Yes, let's go catch fireflies together in the evening, we have made an appointment to go together, do you want to come along?"
Seeing Su Taotao's impatient look, the other party hurriedly said that everyone should go together.
Everyone goes, Tao Tao won't be out of the group, right?
And looking at Momo's appearance, it seems that she is happy to go with them to catch fireflies.
"Big Brother ~~"
Su Taotao wanted to agree directly, but she still turned her head to ask Su Hexuan's opinion.
I don't know if my brothers are going to catch fireflies together tonight.
The brothers can not go to the river to play for her, and it is not good to leave them to play alone.
That's not good.
"When I went back, I told my mother that there should be no problem."
Since everyone is going to catch fireflies together, then my mother should not object.
"Brothers and sisters, can you come back to me in the evening?"
When Su Taotao heard Su Hexuan say this, she turned her head and spoke to the others.
"Taotao will answer you again in the evening, okay?"
"Okay, we'll look for you in the evening."
The others also heard Su Hexuan's words, so they didn't have any opinions on Su Taotao's answer.
After everyone waved goodbye, they went home for dinner.
Jiang Shuyuan and He Zhixin knew that Su Taotao and they were going out to catch fireflies with the children in the village at night, so they agreed after a little hesitation.
Since everyone is going together, there will be no problem in thinking about it.
"Xiao Xuan is an elder brother, and he has to take care of his younger brothers and sisters."
Jiang Shuyuan touched Su Hexuan's head and said a word of advice.
"You too, do you want to listen to the big brother?"
He Zhixin also spoke.
"If I let me know that any of you are running around disobediently, I won't let you out at night."
"Uh-huh, Momo is good."
When Su Taotao heard that she could go out at night, she quickly nodded and said that she would be obedient.
When Su Taotao nodded and swore to assure, a few strands of playful hair were slightly bent close to Su Taotao's little face, accompanied by Su Taotao's movements that fluctuated slightly, making Su Taotao look soft and well-behaved.
Seeing that people can't wait to come forward and hug people now, they kiss a few times to express their excitement.
Jiang Shuyuan and He Zhixin heard Su Taotao's milky voice and said that she would be obedient, and they were much more relieved.
Compared to others, they were most worried about Su Taotao.
Su Taotao is the youngest of all the children.
In addition, Su Hexuan and several of them are spoiling Taotao, in case Taotao runs around, they are worried that Su Hexuan will not be able to control it.
Now that there is Taotao's guarantee, Jiang Shuyuan and He Zhixin can also rest assured.
Soon after Su Taotao finished eating, someone came to find Su Taotao.
"Here, take."
Jiang Shuyuan prepared a lantern for Su Taotao and them that they could carry in their hands.
Unlike normal lanterns, this lantern has no candles and is closed.
"If you catch a firefly, you can put it here, so you have a firefly lantern."
Everyone else was papier-mâché lanterns, but Su Taotao was holding a lantern made of glass in her hand.
Compared with the lanterns in Su Hexuan's hands, it was simply a heaven and an earth.
This kind of blatant eccentricity, others don't feel anything.
My sister should use the best.
Su Hexuan, who got the lantern, took the insect trap net and went out to meet his friends.
Several people walked to the vicinity of the ridge with a smile and a smile, and there were many fireflies flying directly above the ridge.
The starry fireflies glowed faintly, as if the stars in the sky had fallen into mortal dust, twinkling and twinking, and everyone was fascinated.
When they came back to their senses, everyone rushed forward excitedly, wanting to catch the fireflies immediately.
"Rushing duck—"
"Catch fireflies~~"
"Ouch-"
I don't know which unlucky guy ran too fast, but it was dark and couldn't figure it out, and he tripped over a stone on the side of the road, and fell directly into a dog eating.
The other party was not annoyed when he fell, he stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, and then continued to rush forward.
"Momo, let's go over there."
Su Hexuan looked left and right and found a place where there were fewer people.
Too many people catch fireflies in the same place, and it is not easy to see clearly when it is dark, and it is easy to bump into each other.
"Okay."
Su Taotao had no opinion, she grabbed the insect trap net in her hand, and waved the insect trap net to rush towards the fireflies.
Several people cooperate with each other, some catch fireflies, and some are responsible for loading fireflies in lanterns.
The people who caught fireflies were Su Silin and Yang Hongzhi, and the two danced the insect trap nets in their hands vigorously, and they caught a lot of fireflies after a while.
Several others placed fireflies among Su Taotao's lanterns.
Soon, Su Taotao's lantern was filled with a lot of fireflies, emitting a soft and bright light in the dark, attracting many fireflies.
Su Taotao didn't notice the situation behind her, she jumped up on tiptoe alone, trying to catch the firefly.
I don't know if these fireflies are intentional-
One by one, they all flew around her, and even some fireflies landed on the tip of Su Taotao's nose, as if they landed a kiss on the tip of Su Taotao's nose to express their love.
But when she wanted to catch them, all the fireflies flew high, and Su Taotao couldn't catch them even if she stood on tiptoe.
The faint light that flickered seemed to mock her inadequateness.
Seeing the fireflies flee from her eyes again, Su Taotao became angry.
She didn't believe that she couldn't catch fireflies.
Su Taotao looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to herself, she used a little internal force to gather under her feet, and then jumped lightly, and instantly distanced herself from the ground by more than a meter.
Su Taotao hurriedly waved the insect trap net in her hand, and this time she finally caught the firefly.
"Brothers, I caught a firefly~~"
After landing, Su Taotao looked at the fireflies in the net, her little face was so excited that she blushed, and she ran back happily, and her milky voice was full of joy.
She caught a firefly~~
