Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 23 Cricket
The first thing Zhan Chen does when he wakes up every morning is to knock on the door of Lanxi's room next door. He has to wait until the girl staring at the murderous eyes yawns and pulls the door open. The bad habit of sleeping in is eradicated.

Sister Lanxi got up earlier, so they could go to play earlier, but... the daytime seems to pass too fast, it seems that he has to come earlier tomorrow!
Zhan Chen, with loose hair, looked at the sky that had just turned white, and nodded seriously.

If anyone thinks that they will be mentally deficient because of this, they are very wrong.

As a matter of fact, the two little ones who make a lot of maids and servants squeal and scream every day are full of energy.

Zhan Chen chased Lanxi up the mountain and down the river during the day, and was punished by his concubine mother and Mrs. Song when he returned home in the afternoon. At night, he copied Buddhist scriptures while listening to Lanxi telling terrible ghost stories.

Every day is extraordinarily full and fulfilling, and there is no time to think about those messy things.

On this day, Lan Xi, who had copied the Buddhist scriptures very smoothly, completed the task ahead of schedule, and after sitting in the Buddhist hall obediently for a few days, she finally couldn't stay any longer.

"Puff puff puff ~"

Lan Xi made some movement towards Zhan Chen who had been reading for a while.

Zhan Chen has made great progress in understanding her behavior from being inexplicable at the beginning to now being full of tacit understanding.

"what's up?"

"Zhan Chen, it's been a long time since you finished copying, don't you feel bored sitting here?"

Lan Xi really admired him, in terms of concentration and eagerness to learn, he is not at all like a first-grade kid.

"No, I can just wait for you!" Zhan Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He knew that Lanxi didn't call him for such an insignificant question, so Zhan Chen put down the book in his hand, turned around and sat cross-legged, waiting for her to tell her real purpose.

Knowing that this man could hold his breath, Lan Xi stopped talking nonsense and asked him directly: "I heard the sound of crickets just now, I finished copying the Buddhist scriptures, and it's still early, let's go catch the crickets!"

Hearing this, Zhan Chen opened his round eyes wide.

Sister Lanxi can always do something that surprises him!

"It's still early?" It's already dark!

"You don't understand, catching crickets in the dark is not very interesting, once you go, you will understand!"

Zhan Chen's curly eyelashes blinked and blinked, and there was some hesitation in his eyes, but it's a pity that Lan Xi had already figured out this kid's thoroughly.

"You must have never seen what it looks like in the grass under the moonlight. If you miss the animal concert, don't blame me for not telling you!"

Lan Xi's eyeballs would turn when she moved her head, which was obvious to others but she didn't realize it.

Zhan Chen had never heard of a concert, but he knew that she was playing tricks on herself again, and she followed her heart while holding back her laughter.

"Let's go!"

After a while, the two huddled together, like two little beasts lost in the night, looking around, avoiding the gatekeepers, and entered the grove.

The moon is bright but the stars are few. Tonight, the moon is as clear as water. Both the path and the vegetation are clearly visible. The two children are not very afraid when they walk on the road.

The moonlight cast the figures of the two people long, and they overlapped with each other from time to time as they walked.

When Zhan Chen occasionally took a step behind and followed Lan Xi to turn around, he would walk on her back. Whenever this happened, the two of them seemed to have only one shadow left, and they could no longer tell each other apart.

Noticing this interesting phenomenon, Zhan Chen leaned closer to Lan Xi deliberately, trying to connect the shadows on the ground seamlessly, but unfortunately he failed after walking for a long time, and his little brows almost twisted into twists in anxiety.

Lan Xi was amused by his childish and naive behavior——

Isn't this just a game of stepping on shadows? It's so real, isn't it so fun?

The air was full of mud mixed with the fresh smell of grass and trees, and the cicadas and birds were singing endlessly in his ears, and his best partner was walking side by side. Zhan Chen immediately became obsessed with this relaxed feeling.

"Come on, let's go to the creek, where there is water, there will be more bugs!"

Lan Xi waved to the side, and turned around first, and Zhan Chen immediately followed.

Sure enough, when the gurgling sound of the creek gradually became clearer, the sounds of frogs and insects in my ears also became louder.

The creek at night is an ink painting, the stream is ink, the moonlight is white, the depths of the water are thick and colorful, and the light and shadow are interesting when the moon shines.

The moment the moonlight sprinkled into the water and was shattered into light spots by the flowing water, countless light and lively elves were reborn from the silence. They kicked and splashed the water, danced and spun, until the brilliance faded, and the curtain ended in purity and beauty.

"It turns out that there is a reason why the ancients liked to admire the moon. It's a pity that I don't know how to write poetry, so I wasted such a beautiful view!"

Lan Xi was fascinated by the beautiful picture in front of her eyes, and whispered softly.

Zhan Chen nodded in agreement. To meet such a beautiful scene, even if they returned without success in the end, it was a worthwhile trip.

In this situation, Lanxi suddenly remembered another scene in the classic song "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond", and couldn't help but invite his friends to enjoy it together in the future.

"Actually, the lotus pond under the moon should be good too. There is a small lotus pond in my courtyard. How about I invite you to my house to play?"

Of course Zhan Chen readily agreed: "I will definitely go! You can also come to my house to play often in the future, and the concubine will definitely agree!"

After the two who made the invitation were intoxicated for a while, Lan Xi finally remembered the serious business of letting them sneak out.

She looked around at the humming bushes, frowned slightly, and focused her attention without turning her head.

"You must have never caught this thing before. Watch my actions first, don't scare them away!"

Affected by her serious expression, Zhan Chen also became nervous, not daring to take a breath, for fear of disturbing the little elf who was playing cheerfully in the grass.

Not to mention Zhan Chen, Lan Xi himself was also very nervous, listening carefully to the movement in the grass with his ears sideways.

She hadn't caught a cricket for many years, but when she heard its familiar cry tonight, she suddenly wanted to relive her childhood memory, so she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't miss it.

There!

Zhan Chen's sharp eyes, based on the description of the cricket on Lanxi Road, just happened to recognize the green bug on the leaf that stopped in front of him.

It is about an inch long, with a pair of long tentacles on the top of its head, long and thin legs, each segmented, with small thorns, and the wings are as thin and transparent as spun yarn, which made him instantly understand "thin as thin as a veil". The origin of the term "cicada's wings".

Zhan Chen excitedly tugged at the fingers of the person in front of him. The tacit understanding formed in the past few days made Lan Xi immediately understand that he must have discovered something.

Lan Xi turned around and followed his fingertips to look, good guy, there is one here!It takes no effort at all!

Lan Xi put his index finger to his mouth, Zhan Chen understood, and immediately fell silent.

　Writing is also a waste of writing... Every day, after writing the words that need to be updated the next day, I go to revise the essay. Once I revise, I have to correct a thousand or two thousand words, and the saved manuscripts of the day are immediately given to...
