Chapter 59 Caught Cicada

Thus, the three little ones agreed to catch cicadas together after school.

Meng Xuexue, who walked into the classroom from the outside, happened to witness the entire conversation between the two. Looking at the two children, he felt relieved. These two children are not only smart, but also have excellent conduct.

Therefore, during the class, I also specially told a few short stories about how the sages faced their fears and finally defeated them.

The two listened very carefully, and felt that the sages and sages in the story were all very powerful, and they still needed to study hard to get closer to the sages.

Immediately, all the hesitation and fear in my heart disappeared. After the husband announced his dismissal, he said goodbye to him. Several people packed up their books and rushed out.

Today, the little cousin Zhao Yu came to pick up Zhao Zhitong home. This is the second time he came to the school to pick up his younger sister, but he was still a little nervous, and looked at the school door without daring to blink.

Seeing Zhao Zhitong's figure appear, he waved his hands and rushed over: "Sister, I'll take you home."

As he spoke, he took the cage from Zhao Zhitong's hand and held it in his arms.

Zhao Zhitong said: "Brother, I'm going to take Qiao Jiaojiao and Lan Lan to catch the cicadas. Do you know where the cicadas are the most?"

Zhao Yu was a little hesitant, but his aunt told him to pick up Zhao Zhitong and go straight home after school. If she went to Qiao Muchen's or Wei Shulan's house to play, she was allowed to go, but climbing trees down the river was not allowed.

Now my sister says she wants to catch cicadas, but she must climb a tree to catch them. How dangerous it is.

So he asked: "Sister, what did you do when you caught Cicada?"

Zhao Zhitong: "Catch it and eat it. Let my mother fry it. It's delicious."

Zhao Yu immediately said: "I know that it's not tasty, but the dry ones are terrible, or we won't go."

The little Shitou over there was also worried about his young master, and now he agreed again and again: "Yes, yes, that thing is not edible, let's not go there."

Zhao Zhitong said what he said before, how could he not go, and immediately said: "It's not the old cicadas that are on the tree, but the young cicadas that just climbed out, that kind is delicious."

As soon as he heard that there is no need to climb trees, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister, you are talking about climbing branches, then we have to go home first, and we can dig with a small shovel."

When he heard that he needed a shovel, Zhao Zhitong was a little confused: "Huh? Do you need a shovel? Didn't they crawl out by themselves?"

In fact, she only ate it once in her previous life, and it was given to her by the little brother next door, and she had never caught it herself.

Zhao Yu explained: "They only come out at night to shed their skin on the trees, but it's too dark at night, so we can't see them."

Seeing that Zhao Zhitong didn't know, Qiao Muchen over there showed suspicious eyes: "Zhao Zhuangzhuang, are you stupid? Didn't you tell yourself that it came out of the ground? We don't need a small shovel, how can we get it out? You know it even if you haven’t caught it, have you really caught it?”

Being called stupid by Qiao Muchen and suspecting that she hadn't caught it, Zhao Zhitong felt ashamed, and immediately yelled, "I haven't caught it, but I've seen others. They don't use a shovel. You can snap it out with your fingers."

As soon as he heard that he was going to use his fingers to pull it out, Qiao Muchen felt a chill, and couldn't help shaking: "In case it's very deep, let's use a small shovel."

Zhao Zhitong compromised: "Okay, go to my house and get it. I have two small shovels at home."

Thus, the three of them went back to Zhao Zhitong's house first, taking a small shovel.

After they left, three sneaky little figures appeared from behind.

It was the three of Zhao Yue who followed Zhao Zhitong for a few days.

Zhao Yue said excitedly: "Did you hear that, they said they were going to catch Cicada, but let us catch the opportunity."

The other two friends were also very excited.

"Go, let's follow them quietly."

…

When Zhao Zhitong and others returned to Zhao Zhitong's home, many villagers were buying tofu.

Dad and second uncle are busy collecting soybeans, mother is cutting tofu for the villagers, and two uncles are also washing and brushing, so they are too busy to take care of her.

So, after Zhao Zhitong put down the cage, he and Zhao Yu went to the Westinghouse to find two small shovels, said hello to the family, and a group of five children set off.

Zhao Yu said that the most cicadas were found in the forest at the foot of the back mountain. Every time he went to collect firewood, he could hear the deafening sound of cicadas.

So, they planned to go to the woods at the foot of the back mountain to find Zhi.

The back mountain is called Waifang Mountain. In Zhao Zhitong's eyes, it is very, very large, spanning their entire county.

I heard from the gentleman that this mountain is composed of seventy-two peaks. It borders Luoyang in the west, the Yellow River in the north, and Yingshui River in the south.

The main peak of Waifang Mountain is Taishi Mountain, which is located in the north of Anyang County, where there is a well-known school—Taiyi Academy.

Mr. said, let them study hard, then they can be admitted to the government school and study in Taiyi Academy.

Meng Xuexue is a Juren who came out of Taiyi Academy. Later, he went to Beijing many times to rush for the exam, but when his luck was not good, he was not admitted to the exam.

Later, as he got older, he went to their village to live in seclusion. It happened that Wei Squire was looking for a teacher at that time, so he invited him to come to the school as a teacher.

At that time, Zhao Zhitong was just listening to the excitement, Taiyi Academy, women were not allowed to enter, but Qiao Muchen, inspired to be admitted to Taiyi Academy.

At this time, looking at the densely forested back mountain, I feel extremely mysterious, and I always have the idea of ​​​​going deeper to find out.

Zhao Yu kept holding Zhao Zhitong's little hand, afraid that she would get lost, and kept saying, "Sister, you have to follow me, don't run around, we can only play at the foot of the mountain for a while, we can't go to the mountain. Inside, there are beasts in the deep mountains, the kind that can eat people."

"Oh, oh." Zhao Zhitong nodded, but looked at the surrounding trees curiously, wondering if he had listened.

When we arrived at the place, sure enough, as Zhao Yu said, the sound of cicadas was deafening.

Zhao Zhitong held a small shovel and handed the other to Qiao Muchen: "Let's look for it quickly."

Qiao Muchen looked bewildered: "How to find it?"

Zhao Zhitong: "Of course I'm looking for a cave. Climbing the branch must be hidden in the cave."

Then a few radish heads started to look for them on the ground.

Pulling the fallen leaves on the ground, you can see many thumb-sized holes, which are so dark that you can't see anything. Zhao Zhitong became curious and shouted: "Wow, look, there are so many holes here!"

Then, I used my little finger to stick it in...

When Qiao Muchen saw it, he shivered in fright. It was Wei Shulan who leaned over and looked at it with Zhao Zhitong.

Zhao Yu looked up at the opening of Zhao Zhitong's button, and explained: "Sister, the climbing branch has already come out of this kind of big hole, and there is no inside."

Zhao Zhitong was surprised: "No? But I seem to have encountered it."

Qiao Muchen and Wei Shulan were surprised: "Really? Then dig it out."

Zhao Yu hurried over and wanted to pull Zhao Zhitong up: "Sister, don't use your hands to clasp it randomly. There may be frogs in here, or snakes! They got into the hole and ate the twig, and then hid in it by themselves. "

Hearing the snake, Zhao Zhitong froze, then quickly pulled out his finger, and let out a loud yell.
