Chapter 26: The Ghost Frog Kills the Snake
But just as I had come to the front of the tree, and was about to climb the low branch with my hands, I saw that one of the air toads in the hollow of the tree was actually kicking the water, and scurryed upward, and at once came to the mouth of the tree.
However, according to common sense, it is impossible for this air toad to jump so high at once, and even if it jumps to the entrance of the cave, it will fall into the water because it has nowhere to climb, but this thing actually slammed its feet and stood firmly against the entrance of the cave.
I took a closer look, my God, where is this air toad, this toad is actually very similar to the air toad, it is also gray and bald, but its four legs are a little slender, at the tip of each toe, there is a round and very small ball of flesh, when it jumps out of the water and almost to the hole, these balls, as if they are open, like a tiny suction cup, firmly stuck to the hole, so that it will not fall.
My goodness, I looked at the body of this toad again, but I didn't expect that it actually had two big blood-red eyes, which are completely different from the small sesame eyes of the air toad. Only then did I notice that this was not an air toad at all, this kind of toad, I had never seen it.
However, I suddenly remembered that my father had told me that the brighter the color, the more poisonous the toad, and the stranger the toad's appearance, the redder the eyes, the more toxic it was, so I didn't dare to climb up, so I stood under the tree and looked up to see where the toad would jump.
I've never seen this kind of toad come out of our place, and I've never heard of a toad like this with a strange appearance and a small sucker. I looked at those two blood-red eyes, and occasionally the gray eyelids blinked, as if to greet me, and I began to feel terrified inside.
I didn't want to touch it, I was afraid it would open its mouth and bite me. I know toads don't bite, but this toad isn't the same toad I've seen. Because its eyes are blood-red, and it looks really terrible.
Just as I was standing under the tree, motionless and watching the toad stick to the hole, I saw a long worm as thick as chopsticks swimming down from the tree, and the worm crawled quickly and reached the edge of the hole in the tree.
It seemed that it wanted to run down around the tree hole, but just as it was about to climb away from the tree hole, the blood-red toad's eyes bulged out, and suddenly from the edge of its eye socket, like arrows, two blood-red liquids shot out at once, and it happened to shoot at the triangular head of the long worm at once.
I saw the two red lines shoot out, and I was afraid of splashing on me, so I hurried back a few steps, but still stared at the toad with my head up. Unexpectedly, after the blood-red liquid was sprayed on the head of the long worm, I saw that the head of the long worm swung a few times, and suddenly it was like an awl piercing it, and the long worm suddenly rolled up, rolled over for a while and fell to the ground.
I couldn't see it, the worms had fallen, and I quickly trotted back a dozen paces away. I saw the long worm that had fallen, rolling desperately on the ground, and its mouth kept spitting red cores, as if it had been bitten by something.
Just as the long worm was struggling on the ground, I saw that the toad, which had been sprayed with red liquid, moved its two slender feet in front of it, and then jumped forward violently, and jumped directly to the ground in an extremely smooth parabola.
You said that it was a coincidence or not, the place where the toad landed was right next to the triangular head of the long worm. The worm was writhing desperately, not even noticing that the toad had fallen.
I saw that the toad's mouth opened suddenly, and a pink thing spit out from its mouth, and the thing stuck to the triangular head of the long worm for a long time, and then the toad retracted violently, and the head of the long worm was swallowed into the mouth by the toad.
I was dumbfounded, I always thought that the long worm could entangle the toad and devour the toad alive, but now it's good, on the contrary, a toad of this size swallowed the long worm's head so easily.
But although the head of the long worm was swallowed, its slender body was still writhing and rolling outside. I was watching this strange picture from afar, but I didn't expect that from the tree, a few more waves, and a few more such toads jumped down, they all bulged out blood-red eyes, around this long worm, you and I are grabbing food......
I'm a little stupid, it's not what I see on a regular basis. I'm a little afraid, for fear that these ordinary but powerful toads will also spray me with blood-red liquid, and then swallow me alive little by little.
So, I didn't even want a small bench, turned around, followed the courtyard wall of Zhongxiu's little brother's house, and ran back home with a smoke......
When I got to my yard, I quickly found a few wooden planks and blocked several water outlets on the wall of my yard, even the sewer that flowed to me on the edge of our well.
After doing this, I felt very thirsty, so I lay down on the well and drank a belly of well water. Then he pulled a small chair and sat under the gantry, panting incessantly. And my grandmother hasn't come back yet, so I guess she's still chatting with that old sea mother......
I sat in a small chair with my back against my back, my face tilted and my eyes closed, trying to calm down some of my frightened emotions. But just as my eyes were rolling, I seemed to see something moving from the ridge of my house's dragon gate, as if struggling to get out......
I was shocked, because it was on top of my head. So I quickly opened my eyes and looked carefully at the top of the Longmen roof, but I didn't see anything at first.
So I took a closer look at it, and it really showed me something. Inside the ridge of my family's Longmen roof, there is mud and wheat straw, and after it is completed, there is still a little wheat straw exposed.
The place is high and rainproof, warm and ventilated, and no one disturbs it, so there are things to settle in. I saw that the wheat straw, I don't know when, was actually occupied by a swarm of wasps.
When I saw it now, the hornet's nest was already hanging down crookedly like the sole of an adult's shoe, and it was crawling with the big hornet with a black belly, a red head and yellow wings. This wasp is not the same as the skeleton bees I have seen, and the bees, or the slender water bees.
