After dinner, it is the most relaxed time for the He family, most people will sit in front of the courtyard gate to enjoy the cool, but the children will run to the pear grove at the entrance of the village to catch fireflies to play, in Wuxian Town, fireflies these insects have another name, such as fireflies are called "Dile", dragonflies are called "Ding Ding Le", cicadas are called "horses are anxious (liao)", all kinds of weird.

He Zao, He Chun'er, Sibao, and Qibao avoided everyone and quietly turned from the pear grove to the path of Shanghou Mountain, and Sibao picked up the prepared torch from He Chun'er's arms and lit it with a fire fold.

The sisters and brothers of the He family climbed the mountain silently, but they each had expectations on their faces.

Pinching honeysuckle has already given them a taste of sweetness, and if the scorpion is easy to catch, they can make more money, which is certainly an exciting thing.

There was also a division of labor between several people, He Chun'er held a dozen pine sticks, He Zao held a torch to light the way, Sibao held a wooden clip in his hand to clamp the scorpion, and Qibao held a deep-bellied jar to store the scorpion. Scorpions are not good at climbing high, so the jar does not need a lid.

Not long after leaving, Qibao saw a scorpion with a cocked tail lying in the gap between the rocks, and hurriedly pulled Sibao and lowered his voice: "Fourth brother!" ”

Sibao also saw it, carefully and quickly clamped the scorpion's body, raised it in front of his eyes and looked at it, it was a majestic scorpion, looking fierce, especially the tail thorn was high and fierce, making people have no doubt that if they were stung, it would be very painful.

He Chun'er's face turned pale, and she twisted her face to the side.

In his previous life, He had only heard of the adults in the village circling scorpions, but he had never gone up the mountain, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw this.

Fortunately, it was Qibao holding the jar. If she was asked to hug her, she would not dare, for fear that those scorpions would run out.

In contrast, the male baby is much more normal, and Qibao and Sibao both showed excited looks.

As soon as I went up the mountain, I caught one, which shows that it is really easy to go around the scorpion at night.

When the first torch was used up, they also caught six scorpions, two of which were next to each other, and the four treasures and one clip were clamped.

He Zao replaced the second one.

Sibao was very happy: "According to this posture, when we go down the mountain, it is estimated that we can catch dozens of them." ”

"Brother, why don't you hold the jar and let me hold it for a while." Qibao was itchy in his heart, so he sprinkled with Jiao.

Of course, Sibao will let his younger brother and change with him very generously.

Qibao happily followed He Zao, and after a while, he also caught several of them.

He also generously asked He Zao to clip: "Sister, you can't clip it, it's fun." ”

He Zao shook his head hurriedly and stepped back.

Sibao and He Chun'er both pursed their lips and smiled, and they both saw that He Zao was actually a little afraid of scorpions.

From these small details, it can also be seen that female babies and male babies are different after all.

Because they were afraid that they would not be able to see the road clearly when it was dark, they only walked on the path and did not go to the uncultivated place, just like this, the harvest was also quite large.

By the time the dozen or so pine branches were used up, almost two hours had passed, and the chatter and laughter in the village had decreased a lot, and most of the people had gone back to sleep.

He Zao suppressed the joy in their hearts, and walked down the mountain carefully one by one.

"Zao'er is right, scorpions are indeed easy to catch at night, I remember that in the past, the villagers only caught one or twenty a day." Sibao said with a smile.

They had about forty or fifty of them tonight, and they also met a very small scorpion, in addition to worrying that they would not be able to sell for a price, they also had the idea that the Zhuang people were born to live in harmony with nature, and they naturally put the little scorpion away.

"And we're just going around the path, and we haven't gone into the grass yet, otherwise there will be more."

He Zao replied with a smile.

"Second sister, shall we come tomorrow?" Qibao asked meaninglessly.

He Zao nodded: "Of course, this scorpion is much easier than us pinching honeysuckle, and it doesn't delay the main business, but we have to redistribute it tomorrow." ”

"Yes, one person can hold a torch in one hand and a scorpion in the other, and the four of us can be divided into two or three groups."

Sibao was obviously thinking about this as well.

In the previous life, in fact, a person could go up the mountain to circle the scorpion, carrying a backpack dedicated to holding scorpions, holding a lamp in one hand and a clip in the other, but He Zao was a child in the end, and the torches were not as convenient as flashlights, she thought for a while, and said: "We are not separated in one place, otherwise it is not safe, but the two of them take torches together, and my eldest sister and I take pine branches and jars." ”

Her method is the most suitable and safe, and several people in the Four Treasures have no objection.

After going down the mountain, there are basically not many people in the village to enjoy the cool at the door, and He Zao is worried that he will be scolded if he goes back late, but who would have thought that he heard the voices of Dayang and Sanbao coming from the other side of the village, and the coaxing of a group of boys, and I don't know what they are playing.

He Zao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

When he arrived at the door of He's house, Qibao saw that the lights in the upper room had been extinguished, but the wings on both sides were still on, so he grinned: "Daddy didn't sleep, let's go in quickly." ”

As soon as she entered the courtyard, He Tanger'er came out of the upper room with the curtain lifted, and when she saw a few sneaky people, she became suspicious: "Why are you coming back?" ”

Sibao hid behind He Chun'er, and he hugged the altar.

He Tanger's eyes were very sharp: "Sibao, what are you hiding?" What is there in your hand that you won't let me see? ”

As he spoke, he rushed over.

She was scolded by Old Man He yesterday, although she didn't have to go to the ground at night, but the little girls all hold grudges, and they have long wanted to find an opportunity to teach He Zao a few lessons!

If she finds out what is in the jar, the night's work will be in vain, and I don't know if I can make money with scorpions in the future.

Several people were nervous for a while, not knowing what to do.

Or He Chun'er moved quickly, quickly took a scorpion out with a clip, and smiled at He Tanger: "Sister-in-law, a few of us caught a few scorpions by the river, and we are going to raise them for fun, do you want to take one too?" ”

Facing the bright moonlight, the majestic brown and black scorpion was looked at by He Tangerine, she is also a much-loved delicate girl, and she doesn't even go down to the ground on weekdays, so she immediately turned pale and took two steps back.

"Die, raise these three things! Bah! He Tangerine didn't dare to stay longer, glared at a few people viciously, turned around and walked towards the thatched house in the backyard.

Shippo covered her mouth and snickered.

He Zao also quietly praised: "Eldest sister, this trick is good." ”

He Chun'er was very calm, and threw the scorpion back into the jar: "Our sister-in-law is different from us, like a girl in the city!" ”

"Our sister-in-law is afraid of insects." Sibao also whispered, his voice full of incredulity.

In the countryside, where women also have to go to the fields to carry water and serve as laborers, it seems quite surprising that the oranges are afraid of insects.

Just like He Zao and He Chun'er, they are also afraid of scorpions, but in order to make money, they will personally catch scorpions, instead of avoiding them.
