181 Catch Frogs
However, the matter of the wild cat still left a shadow of fear in the hearts of the fat man and Xue'er, they stopped looking around, the fat man did not move, and the beautiful scenery of the countryside that was full of praise just now suddenly changed all at once.
Look! The shadows of the mountains on all sides are like monsters standing between heaven and earth. The trees in the mountains and forests that swayed in the wind and stood there black and numb were like demons with teeth and claws. In mid-air, the fireflies with their tail lights on and twinkling were dancing like ghosts. From time to time, one or more voles in the vegetable patch by the roadside were startled and let out a few squeaks, and then several black shadows were seen swishing out and burrowing deeper into the grass or rice fields. From time to time, the sky fluttered and fluttered with a piercing sound of flapping wings, and only a series of mournful hiss were heard, and when I looked up, it was a night cat bird flapping its vigorous wings, and plunged headlong into the depths of the night.
All this is really terrifying, Xue'er pulled Zhang Tao's hand, clinging to his side, and didn't want to part for half a step.
Although he knew that there were no ghosts in the world, the surroundings were gray and hazy, and the strange cries of various animals and insects were constantly filling his ears, and his heart was becoming more and more frightened. The fat man felt a little chilly all over his body, which was not brought by the coolness of the country night, but the cold sweat of fright.
He didn't dare to fall behind, but he also got to Zhang Tao's left side, and walked forward close to Zhang Tao's body, but there was no more like Xue'er grabbing Zhang Tao's hand.
"Holy shit! You're all like this, even if there is a frog in front of you that hasn't been scared away, I can't do it! Zhang Tao shouted angrily.
Then the fat man yelled, "Dead fatty, are you still a man?" Is that all there is to it? I still hope that you will protect Xue'er, you see that Xue'er is braver than you now! As he said this, he deliberately squeezed Cher's hand hard.
Xue'er knew what Zhang Tao meant, she mustered up the courage to retreat to the back, and also followed the blow to the fat man and said: "Fatty, you also said that you want me to help you introduce beautiful women, just this little guts, who will follow you?" ”
A person's fear is actually the fear of the heart, the fear of thinking out, and it is just like the idiom that says suspicious and suspicious, if you don't want to, then there are no demons and monsters.
Fat and Cher are like this now. Xue'er was encouraged by Zhang Taoyi, and she really didn't feel scared.
After the fat man was hit by them like this, his blood was surging and his courage was redoubled, and he walked to the end without hesitation.
"Yes! It's pretty much the same, like a man! Zhang Tao praised the fat man and said.
After a pause, he said again, "Fatty, you take care of Cher." You just stand five meters away from me, and don't walk around. When I put the net cover out to you, you just grab the frog out of the net and put it in the bag. ”
Then he taught the fat man how to catch frogs from the net, so he stopped paying attention to them and went to the front to catch frogs wholeheartedly.
Zhang Tao stopped by a small pond and searched carefully. Soon, on the bank of the pond, where the lamp shone, he spotted a pair of small eyes glowing with a yellowish glow, needless to say, the peculiar glow of the frog's bulging eyes in the night.
The frog is a very cunning master of disguise, except for its white belly, its head and back are yellow-green, and this green dress is almost the same color as the grass, which can protect itself from the enemy.
He looked closely, and a blue-colored frog fell into his eyes. There were about one or two of this frog, and it was now squatting stupidly in the grass, and the bulging stuff around its mouth was shrinking and singing!
To be honest, if it weren't for his greed, Zhang Tao really wouldn't want to catch this cute frog. "The fragrance of rice flowers says a good year, and listens to the sound of frogs." Frogs are the singers of nature! The melodious croaking of frogs is like the never-ending music of nature, a harmonious song of the field. In the hot summer, frogs generally hide in the grass and occasionally make a few calls, and the time is also very short. If there is a call, the one next to it will also call a few times, as if it is singing. The cries of frogs are happiest after heavy rain. Whenever this happens, there will be dozens or even hundreds of frogs "croaking-croaking" endlessly, and the sound can be heard from miles away, like a majestic symphony, as if singing praises for the agricultural harvest!
Of course Zhang Tao doesn't care about it now, what singer is not a singer, tomorrow it is only right for you, a singer, to let me make a good dish. He turned around and shushed at the fat man and Cher, and tiptoed over with the net.
Zhang Tao can also be regarded as an expert in catching frogs. At this time, there are two points that need to be very careful, the first is not to shake the lamp. You can keep the frog still, you can move it away until it's almost close, and then you can look at it. Its eyes are dull to see what is still and sharp to see things that move. If the lamp shakes, it scares the frog away. The second is to move lightly, and all movements must be light before the frog enters the net. The frog is visually impaired, but its hearing is extremely sensitive. If you make a big noise, it will also startle the frog away.
Zhang Tao's focus has been on the frog's body, and while approaching the target step by step, the right hand holding the net has been slowly stretching forward while grasping the bottom of the bamboo pole, ready to pounce at any time. When the net was about half a meter away from the frog, his wrist flicked, and the net in his hand suddenly covered the frog with lightning speed.
The frog was suddenly alarmed, and its round eyes spun around rapidly, as if it was observing the enemy's situation and judging the next move. Soon its decision came out, and its flat head was slightly raised, and it chirped rapidly and shortly, as if it were annoyed that the unexpected encroachment had startled its good dreams, and then leaped like lightning.
The frog's eyes are bulging, its head is triangular, its mouth is wide and large, and its tongue is long, which is really ugly and clumsy. Coupled with the fact that the crawler is so sluggish, you might think it's a little silly. If you think so, you're very wrong. Let's take a look at the distance it jumps at! That's at least twenty times its length, does the world long jump champion have this level?
Let's see how it reacts! That's pretty sharp, and you can understand it by looking at its predatory movements. It was lying on its stomach in a small dirt pit, its hind legs curled up on its knees, its front legs propped up, its mouth open and its face up, its stomach bulging and waiting for something. A mosquito flew over and shook in front of it, and its body jumped upward, its tongue rolled over, and it landed on the ground again. The mosquito was gone, and it sat down as it was, waiting for the next insect to arrive. Shocking! Marvel!
