dream village

After the banquet was over, Meng Zi and the others took advantage of the wine and happily chose the master and what they wanted to do independently.Most of them catch loaches, Mengzi and Huzi, Niach and Gaozi, Gunlao and Longgu form a team.The frogs were caught by Monkey with Mao Mao and Zhang Tao with Fatty.

If this group scores well, some people will be unhappy.Xue'er pouted and asked, "Brother Tao, what about me? Why is it nothing to do with me?"

Zhang Tao felt a little funny, do you dare to follow in such a dark night?That doesn't scare you to death.Besides, even if you are brave, this is a matter of walking in the water and burrowing in the grass. Can a delicate lady like you keep up?That doesn't delay the business.

"You! You move a stool and sit on the lawn and count the stars with Mengxue. We will come back after seeing how many we have counted." Zhang Tao said jokingly without any explanation.

"No! I have to go! I'll go catch frogs with you!" Xue'er said firmly.

Mengxue explained to Xueer in a low voice for a long time, but Xueer still insisted on going with her teeth gritted.

"That's fine! You can follow along! However, I have to remind you first, Xue'er, then you have to be obedient, especially not to be startled, which will scare even the frogs away." Zhang Tao said helplessly. explain.

"Okay! I absolutely obey the command in all actions!" Xue'er's face immediately disappeared, and she said happily.After she finished speaking, she went to get the equipment from the fat man.

"Brother Tao, what about me?" the fat man said aggrievedly.

"You! Why do you have to go with me, and I rely on you to carry the bag! Xue'er is playing along and playing the role of soy sauce." After a pause, Zhang Tao said to Mengxue again: "Sister Xue, from home Take another miner's lamp and your goloshes for Cher to wear."

Soon, everyone can be said to be fully armed, wearing gobos, miner's lamps tied around their waists, with lamp heads placed in front of their foreheads, and holding tongs or nets in their hands.

It goes without saying that the miner's lamp is used for lighting.Few flashlights are used for downstrokes, and miner's lamps are popular. They are not only used for labor going down the well and driving in the dark, but also for lighting when the power is cut off. Every household has one or two.

This set of boots, in addition to preventing the soles of the feet from being scratched by grass and the like, is mainly used to deal with snakes. If you have to step on a snake, it is not a big deal to have boots to protect it.

The tongs for holding loach are simply processed from the fire tongs used for holding coal at home, and they are more like large sharp-nosed vices.

The net cover for catching frogs is a bit particular, mainly composed of two parts, namely the net and the bamboo pole handle.The net is more than 40 centimeters deep, and the diameter of the iron ring supporting the net is about [-] centimeters.The handle of the bamboo pole is very straight, uniform in thickness, about four meters long and about one inch in diameter.The effect of the length of the bamboo pole is that it can attack from a long distance, which greatly improves the success rate of capture.

Before the team set off in groups, Mengzi made a joke. "Fatty, tonight! You are brighter than this miner's lamp, lighting up this mountain as if it were daytime. I reckon Tao doesn't even need to turn on that miner's lamp." After speaking, Mengzi laughed and opened it. up.

Although Fatty was annoyed, it was true, and he seemed to be playing the role of a light bulb tonight.He couldn't fight back, so he approached Zhang Tao and whispered, "Brother Tao, can we discuss this matter? Can I not go?"

After a pause, he said again: "If I don't go, it will be so convenient. You can do whatever you want, you can catch frogs, you can just catch people."

Zhang Tao interrupted him and said angrily: "There is no need to discuss this matter, you have to go, and you have a heavy responsibility, carrying the bag for the frog and protecting Xue'er."

However, what the fat man said made Zhang Tao's thoughts come alive, yes!After catching frogs, it is not impossible to consider the matter of catching people

A full moon hangs in the sky like a silver plate.The bright moonlight shakes out from this silver plate, sprinkles on the soft country road, and complements the lights on the ground, making the whole countryside look extraordinarily quiet and quiet.The villages composed of trees, courtyards, firewood piles, and tile-roofed houses are like old people squatting in the corner, thinking silently, perhaps thinking about the ups and downs and ups and downs on the road of life.The evening wind brought a scent of earth.The unique aroma of the night in the country permeates the air, weaving into a soft net, covering all the scenery in it.

Xueer and Fatty followed Zhang Tao one after the other.When there are villages, they sigh from time to time, the scenery is so beautiful.For a while, the fat man groaned a few times, Zhang Tao and Xueer thought he was going to make some poems, so they listened attentively, but he groaned for a long time, and it was still an old saying, ah!So beautiful!It made Zhang Taoxue'er's stomach ache from laughing.

Fatty felt hit by Zhang Tao and Xueer's smiles, and he said angrily, "Listen, I'll make a poem for you."

"We are all ears!" Zhang Tao said solemnly, holding back a smile.

The fat man coughed a few times solemnly, then opened his arms, shook his head and began to write poems. "Ah! The sea, the turbulent sea is full of water! Ah! The forest, the forest is full of tall and straight trees! Ah! The sky, the sky is full of clouds! Ah! Love, what is performed in love is drama! Ah! Life, life is full of tears! Ah! Men, why do men have extra legs! Ah! Women, why do women have two more peaks! Ah! Do you say you are tired!"

Zhang Tao and Xueer laughed again. "How is it? This poem is okay!" the fat man said triumphantly.

"Not bad! Very good! If this poem enters the competition, it will definitely win a certain gold medal." Zhang Tao praised.

"Really? If I really win the award, I will donate all the prize money to your hometown, because it is your beautiful hometown that inspires me." The fat man followed suit.

"Then I can thank you on behalf of my folks!" Then Zhang Tao reminded with a smile: "Fatty, you have to walk well, don't be on the ground, but no one cares about you!"

The fat man didn't answer the question, he was looking at a pair of small bulb-like eyes glowing green in the vegetable field on the left with trepidation at the moment.

Xue'er obviously saw it too, she was so frightened that she trembled all over, she didn't dare to move or speak, lest the monster with scary eyes would startle and jump on her.

After a while, Zhang Tao saw that there was no one humming behind him, and it seemed that there were no footsteps, so he turned around strangely.

"Tao...Brother Tao, what do you think is that?" Xue'er stammered.As she spoke, she quietly moved towards Zhang Tao.

"That can't be a wolf!" The fat man approached Zhang Tao tremblingly.

"It's okay, there won't be any beasts or monsters!" Zhang Tao comforted Xueer by grabbing Xue'er's hand.After looking in the direction they pointed, he grabbed a stone from the ground and threw it over.

"Mimi!" A wild cat ran away from the vegetable field in panic.

Fatty and Xueer let out a long breath at the same time, it turned out to be this stuff!It's really scary!

In order not to affect his great career of catching frogs, Zhang Tao had no choice but to patiently explain to them that, apart from snakes, there are no larger beasts that would actively attack humans in our area, so you just have to walk boldly.
