Chapter 25: The Tree Cave Ghost Frog

I thought, this time, my father can't find me. To my surprise, right under my nose, my father actually walked a few steps, stepping on the thick poplar tree with both feet, his body parallel to the ground, and walked steadily up the tree step by step!

I was so scared that I almost fell under the tree, this is really unexpected, my father can walk on the ground like this, obediently, this is really a great power, if only I could do this.

I stuck out my tongue and saw that my father was still chanting words at me: "Xiaoliang, Xiaoliang, I am your grandfather, you come here, I will give you candy to eat......" My grandfather walked up in an orderly manner, and still stretched out his hand to greet me like that.

I'm really a little scared, thinking, what if I am caught by my father, even if my father hurts me again, but now I am clear, my father has been dead for a long time, and his coffin is buried deep in the old ditch, but why at a time like today, he will suddenly run towards me from the old ditch, and reluctantly chase me?

I had only one thought in my heart, I couldn't let my father get close to him, so I slowly sat up between the branches, stepped on the thicker branches, looked at a gap in my head, and stepped on the branches so hard that I heard a clatter, and as the branches broke and fell, I went up.

Just as I kept running up, I saw that the branch I stepped on rolled and fell, impartially, the branch fell rapidly, and suddenly hung on my father's body, I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and didn't dare to look, thinking that this time my father would definitely be climbed to the ground by this branch.

But when I hurriedly opened my eyes, I saw that the branch fell to the ground as if it had not been hindered at all, and my father still walked up so steadily, as if he had not seen the branch climb to him, but I saw that the branch covered my father's head and body, and fell down at once.

It's over, doesn't my father have meat, is it just a mass that I can see my father's appearance? I was even more frightened, and as soon as I had reached a certain height, I began to fall down, and I was afraid that I would fall straight down on the big poplar tree, so I quickly kicked down with both feet, just like treading water in the water, but I didn't expect that I could still move a few steps forward.

I fell into the crop field on the other side of the moat, I found the mountain pass, and I didn't care that the bag leaves in the field pulled up to my arms and cheeks, and looked back at my father, who was still walking towards the tree, and I ran desperately south, and ran to the east and west road to the old ditch in the south of the valley.

When I arrived at this dirt road, I quickly turned west, followed the road, and ran to Lao Hai's house, I saw that the tall flat food tree was becoming more and more clear in my vision, and I also saw my grandmother and Lao Hai's mother sitting under the tree, and the two of them were still talking and laughing, it seems that my grandmother did not notice that I had run away......

When I ran to the bottom of the tree out of breath, my grandmother saw me, looked at me for a moment, and then turned back to talk to the old sea mother with great interest.

And I held on to the flat poplar tree, gasping for breath, and looked through the dense grain to the poor baby's house, where the tall salad poplar tree was empty, and my father was gone......

I finally slowly returned to normal, turned my head, and looked at my grandmother and Lao Hai's mother, they really didn't know that they were tired, they were always so interested, and they didn't know what they could talk about.

I stood on the side, and felt more and more bored, and the two of them talked for a while, and then they laughed a lot, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt interested, and I wanted to go home.

So I picked up my little bench and walked down the road without looking back. When I came with my grandmother, I walked on the north-south road to the east of my house and the west of Sister Daling's house, and now I follow the courtyard wall of Lao Hai's house and go north, and behind me is Brother Zhongxiu's house.

At the junction of his house and Kangming's house in the west, there was a large tree that grew crookedly to the east, and the tree grew really luxuriantly, with blurred leaves and criss-crossed branches, and standing under the tree, you could feel the shade for a while.

This tree is quite large, but compared to the flat eating tree of the Lao Hai family, the height is not so high, but the thickness is indeed thick enough. Anyway, three or four children like me can't be hugged together.

It's a pity, I don't know why, in addition to growing obliquely to the east, there is a big hole in the trunk of this big tree, and I don't know if someone dug it on purpose, or if the trunk was soaked by the rain, anyway, from what I know, there may be some insects and other things lying in this big hole.

I carried the small bench and leaned my head down the trunk of the tree, looking up little by little. The leaves of the tree were so thick that they completely blocked the sunlight. I deliberately looked into the hole, but I didn't expect that the hole was quite deep, and there was more than half a channel of rainwater in it.

I immediately thought it was very funny, and just as I threw the little bench to the ground and was about to run over and climb the tree, I didn't expect that when I was looking at the hole in the tree, several gray toads floated in the water!

The air toad, speaking of which many people may not know what it is, is actually a kind of toad that will get angry and bulge its belly, this kind of thing has a layer of extremely sticky and slippery and extremely unpleasant mucus, every time it is caught and held in the hand, after a while, the hand will be thickly glued with this mucus.

This kind of mucus sticking to the hands is extremely difficult to wash off, and you have to pick it off with your fingernails to pick it off little by little, not only that, but the extremely unpleasant smell, extremely nose-blowing, makes people smell quite uncomfortable.

Therefore, every time I see this air toad, no matter how big or small, after I have suffered a loss, I rarely catch them directly with my hands. Instead, use a firewood stick, knock them over directly, and then gently knock them on their backs, and they will invariably inflate their stomachs quickly, and in a short time they will bulge their bellies into round, almost as small as a small round bulge.

At this time, I will follow the example of other older children, raise my foot, aim my heel at the air toad, and step on it hard, with a snap on the ground, the air toad will break its stomach and intestines, and die......

But I don't know why, I saw an air toad in the water of this tree hole, and I was a little inexplicably excited, so I wanted to go over and see if I could catch one, take it out and beat it into a small drum, and then ......
