Chapter 16 Toad

Wind and rain, lightning and thunder, dark night, the village was silent in the rain, and all the children were afraid to speak in the house.

"Naughty again, be careful that Xiaolong takes you away." Muyang's mother scared Muyang like this, like all parents in the village, but if she couldn't educate herself, she would move out and scare the children by the first sons who didn't know if they were the dragon king.

The children, who would still say a few words on weekdays, did not dare to speak at this time, and the house trembled with the rumbling thunder.

Mu Yang, who thought of doing something wrong, was scared when he heard the thunder, although it was not yet time to sleep, he was already hiding in the quilt and pretending to sleep.

The air was much better after a night of heavy rain, and Muyang slept very well last night, and stretched out at the door of his house with satisfaction.

"Ahh A shrill girl's scream came, it turned out to be the neighbor's little sister, I don't know what happened to provoke her again, her grandmother is the master of calves.

"Oh, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, good granddaughter, watch me teach you a lesson." While coaxing the little girl, the old woman picked up a red brick and slapped it firmly on a yellow-skinned toad.

Regardless of whether it was alive or dead, the old man went home with his granddaughter directly.

"Gross!"

There was a smell of blood, Muyang was numb from head to toe, this poor guy couldn't live anymore, he broke a leg, spat blood in his mouth, and climbed to the ditch strongly.

Muyang couldn't bear to look at it anymore, wanted to help it but was disgusting, picked up a stick and picked it into the canal and left.

When the water is less oxygenated after the rain, the fry living in the shallow water are not affected, and the big fish come to the lake to breathe the air, and the children in the village often go to catch fish after the rain.

"Xingxing, are you up?" Mu Yang shouted at the door of Xingxing's house.

"Wake up early, I knew you were coming." Xingxing has played with Muyang since he was a child, and every time it rains, Muyang will call his friends to go to Dongfeng Pond or West Wind Pond to fish.

"Let's go, let's go and find Song Ji again, by the way, who is not there!" Muyang was referring to the person who bullied him.

"No, he's gone to a relative's house in the city."

Muyang breathed a sigh of relief, and went to find Song Ji with Xingxing, Song Ji was eating at home, Song Ji had grown more than 150 pounds under the careful care of his grandmother, and he was already very fat at one meter six.

"Crooked boy, eat these two eggs again."

Song Ji wanted to refuse, but he knew that he couldn't get out if he couldn't finish eating, so he could only gulp the eggs into his already saturated stomach.

"Crooked boy, take another bucket of milk, and drink it when you are thirsty in the middle of the morning."

Song Ji was obedient and took the milk, so that his grandmother could rest assured that her grandson would go out.

When he arrived at the Dongfeng Pool, Xingxing went to inspect the fishing nets, and he quickly pulled the ropes, which were almost on fire, and there were only a few snails in the nets.

After turning around, it's all empty, there's no way this east wind pool is this, there's nothing in the pool since something happened.

"Wow, you see this toad doesn't have a pimple on it." Song Ji grabbed a slender thing and showed it to Muyang Xingxing.

Muyang is still thinking, is this an underage toad? Not yet grown?

The star spoke: "What toad, this is a frog." He took it from Song Ji's hand and looked at it carefully.

"This frog is gray, it's the first time I've seen it, count yourself lucky, I don't kill frogs." The stars tossed it like water, and a ripple appeared on the turquoise water.

There was nothing in the East Wind Pool, and the three of them went to the West Wind Pool again.

There are many nets under the west wind pool, Muyang went to get the bottle, Song Ji and Xingxing closed the net, and after a while, the joy of a bumper harvest came.

Caught a big fish, the size of a palm, this fish in the star net of course belongs to the stars.

Song Ji and Mu Yang looked at the big fish in Xingxing's hand enviously, and their eyes were full of desire.

After settling the fish, Xingxing patrols the pond and finds that there are too many toad eggs, so he decides to clean them up.

The time was set for the evening, and the old cat was called, and the old cat and the star loved to play with the toad, and showed amazing talent since childhood.

"Quack." I can't tell if it's a frog or a toad, it's like a meeting, the eardrum of the noisy person hurts, Muyang took the flashlight and shook it into the pool, and a huge toad ball hugged together.

I once heard that it was a toad competing for a mate, and while they were immersed in tenderness, the old cat and the star made a move.

I don't know where to get the net, easily fished the toad ashore, some of the toads are experienced and desperately escaped into the water, and some of the toads have become confused and become the brick ghosts in the hands of the old cat and the stars.

Muyang lit a fire with an instant noodle bag, which was originally used for lighting but was used by the old cat to torture the toad.

It seems that it is a mistake to be ugly, and torturing ugly things has become a kind of fun for children.

Toads usually bark, but they are silent in the face of death and do not croak.

Every year during the toad breeding season, there are always children who harm toads, and it is not until they move later that the children grow up and go out to work.

Will toads move?

Yes, all things are animistic, and there was no croaking in the West Wind Pool one year, and then Muyang found their traces in the abandoned reservoir one day.

It is an old reservoir built in an unknown year, the reservoir is very large, although it has dried up, but it is full of grass, and there are snakes that scare children from entering, and this is a paradise for toads.

Toad clothes is a traditional Chinese medicine, has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, diluting water and reducing swelling, a pound can be sold at a sky-high price, Muyang they also listened to a fishing young man said, it is difficult to imagine the disaster suffered by the toads in the village, from the young man's unintentional words.

The West Wind Pool was made by children to stink, and people who came here to fetch water to drink couldn't help but curse a few words every time.

"That man with no conscience killed so many toads." Although he hated toads on weekdays, his tragic condition still aroused the sympathy of the villagers.

Large and small toads are piled on the shore of the west wind pool, there are hundreds, the summer sun is very vicious, within a few days the toad will become a toad dry, the imaginary toad does not appear, the toad would rather die than give the toad to the child, tightly fit with the body, waiting to rot.

"The toads in the village won't let us all lose them!" Mu Yang asked the stars worriedly.

"You just don't worry about it, you see how many eggs toads lay at a time, how many tadpoles are in the pond every year, and the blue water can turn into black water." Xingxing smiled and explained to Muyang.

The old cat on the side couldn't help but speak when he heard it: "Just ...... Be. ”

The star kicked a toad into the sky with a light kick and accidentally kicked it into the yard of the house on the shore.

The family was happily eating, and suddenly a big toad fell from the sky and landed in the rice soup pot impartially.

A group of children heard the movement and ran away, leaving only the man with the rolling pin to curse.
