Chapter 560： Catching Cockroaches

Chapter 560 Catching Cockroaches

 Gu Yunxi arrived at a new place, and it was a place he liked. He also felt that the cooking skills of Su Mulan and Bai Shitang were really good, so he went to eat a lot this night.

After eating, Gu Yunxi packed up the books he had brought.

There are many anecdotes and strange stories in it that she specially requested from Gu Xiuwen, and she planned to invite Bai Lixia and the others to watch them together and discuss them.

As a result, I saw Bai Lixia and the others picking up lanterns, bamboo tubes and other such things.

"Yunxi, let's go." Bai Lixia greeted Gu Yunxi.

“Where to go?” Gu Yunxi was a little curious.

"Go catch the caterpillars." Bai Zhuye narrowed his eyes with a smile and handed a bamboo tube to Gu Yunxi.

“What is...a caterpillar?” Gu Yunxi was stunned for a moment.

"You'll know when you get there." Bai Lixia gave Gu Yunxi another lantern and dragged her out.

Gu Yunxi didn't know why, but seeing that Bai Shuiliu and his four siblings were all in high spirits, they followed him out.

Outside, the moon was shining high, and there were children carrying lanterns everywhere, walking and stopping near the trees. From time to time, they would bend down to pick up something and stuff it into the big bamboo tube in their hands.

Baishui Liu and the four of them quickly got busy, teaching Gu Yunxi how to catch them.

"Walking around the roots of these trees, you see, they are everywhere." Bai Lixia carried a lantern and demonstrated to Gu Yunxi, picking up a few brown cockroaches and stuffing them into the bamboo tube.

Gu Yunxi followed the appearance of the four of them and also carried a lantern to look for them.

Sure enough, there were swarms of cockroaches everywhere on the ground, in the grass, around tree roots, and on top of tree trunks. They were as big as the belly of your little finger, brown and yellow in color, a bit like beetles, but they didn't fly very much. Just crawling everywhere.

The cockroaches don't bite, they just pick them up like beans and stuff them into a bamboo tube with holes.

The action is simple, and you can get a lot of results without much effort, which can be said to give people a sense of accomplishment.

One, two, four, seven or eight…

Soon, Gu Yunxi had a full harvest, and the big bamboo tube in his hand was already more than half full.

“There are so many cockroaches.” Gu Yunxi smacked his lips while busy catching cockroaches.

"Of course, today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the caterpillars are out." Bai Lixia replied.

“Do you still have to choose a date when the caterpillar comes out?” Gu Yunxi was a little surprised when he heard this.

"It is said that it is an odd number but not an even number. On days like the first, third and fifth day of the lunar month, there are very few cockroaches. On even-numbered days like the second, fourth and sixth day of the lunar month, there are especially many cockroaches. "Yes." Bai Zhuye replied.

"This is really interesting. This little thing can also choose the day." While Gu Yunxi was talking, he picked up two more and stuffed them into the bamboo tube, and asked curiously, "But speaking of it, so many cockroaches are all Where did it come from?”

"Every year, when the poplar ears fall, the cockroaches come out. They say it's the poplar ears that change, but it's probably not the case, but I don't know where it comes from. Anyway, it only comes out at this time every year, so it should be That’s it.”

Baimi Dou made a face on the side, then smiled and said, "But Sister Yunxi, you are so awesome, you are not afraid of bugs. At first, I was afraid that you would not come to catch caterpillars if you were afraid of bugs."

"Hehe." Gu Yunxi raised his chin, "I'm very brave."

That is to say, she was under the control of Gu Xiuwen when she was in the county town, and she took care of the image of her family, so she was just polite on weekdays.
