My village can't be like this

Chapter 609: The Spectacular Fireflies at Night
Although Niuguntang is not a very good name, this long-abandoned grassland does not even have a name.

But some people were born in Rome, and the scenery of the river is a kind of beauty that is uniquely endowed. Now that it is being utilized by Changqing Village, it can only be said that it is even better than before.

So the grass plains along the banks of the river also began to become different.

Now, except for Zhang An and his group, all the people in Caobazi came here to play from outside.

The usually busy working life only becomes leisurely during these few days of vacation.

Here, you can hear people at every table chatting with their friends about their own topics and laughing heartily from time to time.

With the gentle night breeze blowing, it is really relaxing.

It was similar for Zhang An and his friends, as they were all young people and often interacted with each other. Even Wang Hua knew several of them.

At this moment, everyone was chatting in a few words. After all, in the adult world, there are not many such opportunities.

Because not everyone is like Zhang An, who can arrange his or her life as he or she wishes.

Not to mention Ding Yi, he is now the boss of several supermarkets and it is impossible for him to have any free time most of the time.

Li Hongbin is not much different from Lao Ding when it comes to things at the construction site.

Although Chen Ze's previous life was not much different from Zhang An's, he disappeared for such a long time this time, and when he came back he also had his own mission.

Among the few people, apart from Zhang An, the least busy ones are Zhang Ping and Wang Hua.

But between the two of them, one has to go into the mountains frequently to patrol the forest and report to the unit from time to time.

Although he opened his own photography studio, he still traveled between the city and the countryside every few days.

So they are very relaxed at the moment, flipping the food in the griddle on the grill and talking about the interesting things they have seen and heard recently, and they are all enjoying this hard-earned leisure time.

I have to say that the set of things Huang Mingjia rented to everyone this time is very good.

In addition to a large grill for grilling skewers, there was also a griddle in the middle of the table.

Therefore, everyone can grill their favorite food while sitting around the table.

Only those who have eaten the hot pot know the joy of it.

This was the situation at Zhang An's table. Zhang An was responsible for grilling various skewers for everyone, while the others gathered around the table and used a griddle to grill pork belly, Chinese sausage, tofu and other various vegetables.

"Hey, look, there really are a lot of fireflies."

Suddenly, Zhang Ping and his companions pointed at the surrounding fields and shouted loudly.

There was nothing special when it just got dark, but now fluorescent lights began to slowly rise in the grass in the fields.

In the fields illuminated by the dim moonlight, these dots of fluorescence are releasing their energy to their heart's content.

If there were no moonlight tonight, some people might feel like they were in the starry sky.

The people around them also quickly noticed the fireflies rising from the ground. They were only a few seconds slower than Wang Hua and Zhang Ping.

This was because they didn't see each other last night, so after what Zhang An said just now, they paid more attention to their surroundings while chatting.

Especially Wang Hua, this guy used to go to the mountains with people from the city to take pictures of these things.

So when the fireflies just flew out of the grass, he noticed something strange.

The two little guys were eating the delicious roasted pork belly at the table under the watchful eyes of their mothers, but when they saw the shiny little thing, they couldn't sit still and immediately chased after it just like they did last night.

Xiaohu, the personal steward, was lying on the ground bored, eating the food brought by the hostess from time to time.

Seeing the little master running out, he immediately ran out and followed the little guy.

"Hey, Zhang An, this seems to be more than last night."

Ding Yi saw the night scene of fireflies with his own eyes last night, and even tried to catch them, although he didn't catch any.

But he clearly discovered that there were obviously more fireflies tonight than last night, and a lot more.

"Yeah, there are indeed a lot more than last night, and there are so many flying out just after dark. I estimate that there will be even more in this field in a while."

Zhang An pretended to nod and said, but he was thinking in his heart, this is nothing, when they all fly up later, you will be so shocked.

Because he released all the fireflies here himself, he knew exactly how many there were.

Soon, just as Zhang An had thought, the little creatures that had hidden in the grass after being released by Zhang An during the day began to fly freely when night fell.

Before long, the dark fields around were filled with swarms of fireflies.

There was no moon tonight, so there were obviously enough stars. But now the twinkling fluorescent taillights in the surrounding fields seemed to be even more numerous than the stars in the sky.

The moonlight was not very bright and could not illuminate the ground, but with the rise of groups of fireflies, the fields by the river were lit up as if with fluorescent lights, like a fluorescent avenue.

In today's era when the ecological environment is still very good, fireflies are not rare things.

Even in the city, you can see these things at night in many parks with good greenery.

But the fluorescent avenue that suddenly appeared tonight attracted everyone's attention.

Because the number of fireflies tonight was so large that it exceeded the expectations of everyone present, of course, except for the director Zhang An.

Many people were originally busy grilling their favorite food in the griddle, but now they stood up excitedly and ran into the fluorescent avenue of fireflies.

Almost everyone who comes here feels like they are in a swarm of fireflies, as if they are surrounded by fluorescence.

Zhang An and his friends were no exception. Not only did the two little guys run to chase fireflies, but everyone except Zhang An also ran into the fields.

"Zhang An, give me the camera quickly. We must take pictures at times like this. Hurry up. If we disperse later, we won't have this chance."

Wang Hua, who ran out after him, ran back before he had gone far and asked Zhang An for the camera.

"Here, here you go."

Zhang An directly gave the camera to Wang Hua. It didn't matter who was taking the photos, as long as he took the photos. Not to mention that Wang Hua had often taken photos of these things before, so his experience must be richer than his.

After Wang Hua turned on the camera, he quickly took a few close-up photos of the long fluorescent avenue. Unfortunately, this camera was not a high-tech product like later generations, otherwise Wang Hua would definitely take a few photos of the fireflies.

I don’t know who conveyed the message, but after a while, a lot of people flocked to the bridge.

No matter whether they were playing in the village, walking on the road, or were the tenants of Dongli Yard, as soon as they heard that the firefly swarm had exploded, they all rushed here.

The fireflies cultivated by Zhang An are much braver than those outside and are not very afraid of people.

However, once they take off, they can't stop, so they start flying around everyone in the air, circling back and forth, which is very interesting.

At this moment, the fields are already crowded with people.

But as more people came, more unexpected things started to happen.

There were many people watching fireflies in the fields. Most of them were just admiring them, but a few people had taken off their coats and started catching fireflies in the sky.

Zhang An was very unhappy about this. He felt that he had worked so hard to raise these fish, and had invested so much spiritual spring crystal dew in them, but these people were capturing them wantonly in front of him.

But even so, he said nothing. After all, this matter must not be known to others, and these people are the ones who contribute income to Changqing Village, so even if he could say something, he would not say much.

"Hey, I say, how can you be so uncultured? Such a beautiful and rare firefly spectacle, everyone finally gets to see it once and is admiring it, how dare you try to catch it?"

However, Zhang An's silence did not mean that others could tolerate it. Among the crowd who were watching the spectacular sight of fireflies, some righteous people could not bear to watch it anymore and spoke up.

"Yeah, it's fine if the kids are just fooling around, but you adults in your 40s are also doing this. How shameless."

There were many people who couldn't stand this kind of behavior, and when one person took the lead, others followed suit.

After hearing this, most of those who were catching fireflies stopped out of embarrassment.

"There are so many fireflies. What's wrong with me catching a few? You didn't raise them. You're meddling in other people's business."

But there are still some people who go their own way and simply don't accept what others say, and refute it very nonchalantly.

"Yes, they are not raised by anyone, but if you catch them like this, they will all be scared away. How can people see them? You have to be a bad apple for no reason. No one can stop you."

In this world, evil never prevails over good. The man who just thought he was right was ruthlessly suppressed by everyone as soon as he finished speaking.

He originally wanted to say something more in rebuttal, but there were too many righteous people, and one of them could not refute what he said. In the end, he had to shut up and leave the field.

Fortunately, it was night time, and even though there were so many fireflies, they were not enough to illuminate his appearance. Otherwise, who knows how many people would point fingers at him tomorrow.

After the troublemakers left, everyone could finally enjoy the rare sight of fireflies in comfort.

Although children like Xiao Siqi and his friends were chasing and jumping around, the fireflies that had already flown into the air were not afraid of them. They flew even faster, sometimes gathering in a group and sometimes dispersing, just like fireworks in the sky.

"You two, are you taking pictures? I didn't expect you guys brought cameras with you. You're really well prepared."

Just when Wang Hua and Zhang An were conscientiously photographing the spectacular sight of fireflies, suddenly an old man came up to them.

The older brother chatted with the two of them while taking out a cigarette and walking over.

"Haha, this kind of beautiful scenery is rare. I have never seen so many fireflies appearing together in my life. It would be a shame not to take a picture of it."

Wang Hua was smoking, so he took the cigarette handed to him by his brother while speaking, while Zhang An smiled and declined.

"That's true. Don't talk about you. I'm almost forty years old and I've never seen anything like this. It only shows that this is a good place."

Cigarettes are a magic weapon for men in socializing. After just a while, the old man started chatting with Zhang An.

"That's true. Some attractions are just there, but if you miss something like tonight, you may never see it again in your lifetime."

Wang Hua nodded in agreement. Now that he was receiving more and more guests, he was also changing towards being a social cow.

"Right, right, right. So I guess you came at the right time. Brother, can you give me a few of the photos you took tonight? I can take them back as souvenirs."

Then the brother revealed his real intention of looking for the two people. Yes, he came just to get the photos.

"Of course you can. I opened a video studio in the yard across the street. I'll develop the photos tomorrow and you can come get them."

Wang Hua readily agreed to this. Although the camera belonged to Zhang An, he had wanted to print a copy anyway, and now he just wanted to print a few more photos.

"Oh, that's great. We are here as a family this time, so we can ask you to help us take some family photos."

When the brother heard that Wang Hua ran a photo studio, he became even happier and immediately made an appointment with Wang Hua to take a family portrait.

Nowadays, there are very few domestic mobile phones that can take photos. Even if they can, the pixels are very touching, not to mention that not everyone has a mobile phone.

Not to mention the camera, it is even more of a rare item.

So many people who want to take photos when traveling have no choice but to find a nearby photo studio.

"Yes, yes. Just come to my house whenever you want to shoot."

Wang Hua was very happy. He didn't expect to get another order tonight.

"Brother, we also want you to help us take pictures tomorrow. Can you give us two of the photos from tonight?"

When the people around heard the conversation between the elder brother and Wang Hua, they all came over to talk about it.

"Of course, since everyone likes it so much, I'll wash some more and give them to everyone as gifts."

Wang Hua looked around and was stunned, because there were quite a few people coming to him, which meant that he would receive a lot of orders tomorrow.

At this moment, he felt that it was worth coming out tonight. The spectacular sight of fireflies was like an advertisement for him.

Half an hour later, the people who rented the barbecue stall at Huang Ming's house gradually came back.

At this time, they felt that they were completely different from others and could sit and watch while eating barbecue and pan-fried pot.

As the aroma of frying pans and barbecue wafted across the fields, many people who came later were completely attracted. They immediately went to Huang Ming's house with their friends to rent a place, and then started to have fun.

After a while, the five or six grills that Huang Ming's family had left were all rented out, which was a pleasant surprise for their family.
