Seventy-two, the butcher's cruelty in a smile
Seventy-two, the cruelty of the butcher is
Zhou Xuan broke a bamboo branch and searched carefully. He didn't believe there would be no crickets here!
Slowly turn to a waste garden behind, where there are scattered trees, overgrown weeds, and under the moonlight, the shadows are messy, and there is a pile of rocks on the west side. This is simply a natural paradise for crickets. Zhou Xuan looked carefully and finally found an insect hole. He used a small shovel to clean the gravel weeds around the cave. He held the mesh cover in one hand, and was about to use an iron shovel to lift it hard under the insect hole.
Suddenly, with a "hiss" sound, a yellow-brown snake jumped out of the rock gap next to it, arched its body, and its head was raised to pounce towards Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan was not a timid person, but when he suddenly saw this snake with a snake with a strip of markings of a snake with an inch yellow and a black spot suddenly jumping out, he was still shocked and his heart was beating wildly. Fortunately, he was quick to react and retreated quickly, covering the net in his hand, just covering the snake's head. The shovel held in the other hand slashed down with the sound of wind, cutting the snake's body into two segments. The snake's body, which was broken into two pieces, was still rolling and twisting, the snake's head was raised, its sharp teeth were bare, and the snake's eyes were dull and ferocious.
Zhou Xuan took a few steps back and breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was pounding and unable to calm down for a moment, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a slight pain in his left calf. When he hurriedly shrank his legs, he saw a black and white snake with black markings swiftly winding away from his feet, trying to get into the pile of rocks.
Zhou Xuan was shocked and angry. Unexpectedly, there were two snakes. The yellow and black snake had a little "hissing" sound. The black and white snake bit him silently!
"Go to die!"
Zhou Xuan flew out of his hand and was inserted into the front of the snake's hole. As soon as the snake's head entered the cave, the snake's body was cut off by the iron shovel, and the snake's tail twisted wildly.
Zhou Xuan lifted his trouser legs and looked at the clench marks of the snake teeth on his left calf. He saw no bleeding, but there was a clear numbness.
"Damn, this snake is poisonous!" Zhou Xuan panicked and shouted: "The fourth brother - the fourth brother -"
"Has the master caught a good insect?" Siqi responded from afar.
Zhou Xuan shouted: "Unfortunately, I let the snake bite it. It seems poisonous. Please help me see."
The four ignorant came very quickly. As soon as Zhou Xuan finished speaking, she arrived. Her eyes swept away the yellow and black snake that was broken into two pieces on the floor, frowned and said, "This is a golden armor, poisonous!"
Zhou Xuan pointed to the pile of rocks and said, "It's not this one, it's the one that bit me."
Siqi leaned over and looked at it, and said in surprise: "This is a cubby white snake, even more poisonous!"
"Ah!" Zhou Xuan said with a grim face: "I'm in trouble! Fourth, can you use your skills to force the poison? Save me quickly."
The Sizi said: "If I am poisoned myself, I can use my skills to force the poison, just like the last time the third brother asked Peng Zumen's poisonous palm to hit him until he wanted to force the poison, but the master——"
Zhou Xuan was shocked and said, "Then I am dead!" When he said this, he felt a little rapid breathing and the snake venom broke out!
Siqi was not panicked, so he took out two small porcelain bottles from the bag, looked at them in the moonlight, stuffed one of them back into the bag, poured out three pills the size of broad beans from the porcelain bottle on his hand, held them in his palm and reached in front of Zhou Xuan: "Master, this is a snake medicine, chew it and swallow it quickly."
Zhou Xuan grabbed Sichi's hand, leaned over and put the two pills into his mouth in Sichi's palm.
Sichi reminded: "Don't swallow it all at once, chew it a few more times - where did this inch white snake bit the owner?"
Zhou Xuan chewed the extremely bitter pill and said vaguely: "Calp."
Sichi squatted down and knelt on his legs, looking at the wound on Zhou Xuan's leg, and said with a "ouch": "The wound is not bleeding!" He helped Zhou Xuan sit aside, and reached out to pinch Zhou Xuan's calves that were bitten by a snake, trying to squeeze out the blood, and pinched Zhou Xuan's teeth and saw a little blood.
After Zhou Xuan chewed the pills and swallowed them, he thought to himself: "Will the fourth brother suck my snake venom with his mouth? This, although this is a bit aggrieved by Lao Si, I am still looking forward to it."
But I heard the Sichi said, "Master, suck it hard with your mouth a few times, just on your calves, you can suck it yourself."
Zhou Xuan said "Oh", put his left leg on his right knee, leaned over his mouth and sucked hard, and took a breath of saliva-
Siqi was very experienced. He looked at the wound and said, "It's OK." He took out the previous broad bean pill, put it in his mouth and chewed it on Zhou Xuan's wound. He cut off a piece of cloth strip with a knife and tied it to Zhou Xuan's leg, and said, "It's okay, sit and rest for half an hour."
Zhou Xuan said: "The fourth brother, you saved my life again. When did you have snake medicine? It's so amazing. I know I'm going to be bitten by a snake!"
The four ignorant said, "This snake medicine was made by me personally at the Luoyang medicine shop at noon. You must be careful when catching crickets at night."
Zhou Xuan knew that the snake medicine was prepared by Siqi for him. With Siqi's skills, he could not bite her by snakes. He was quite moved and said, "The fourth brother is also very careful, thank you."
Sichi asked: "Why did the master stab into the snake's vagina?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan was excited and pointed to the pile of rocks and said, "Old Fourth, there is an insect hole there. I think there must be a top-grade good insect. The cricket record records that where famous insects are hiding, there may be poisonous snakes, and centipedes live together. This insect hole is protected by two poisonous snakes, which is a great product."
"Is that true?" Sichi was also excited and asked Zhou Xuan to sit down. She went to check the insect hole and knocked it with a shovel, but no crickets jumped out.
Zhou Xuan said: "Put it with water. Most of the fierce insects are very alert and patient. If you can't knock it out, you can use water to attack it. Crickets like drought and fear water. Once they are irrigated, they can't stand it."
Siqi responded, then used a bamboo tube to get water nearby, and slowly poured it into the insect hole, staring at the hole without any moment.
After a while, there was no movement. Sichi straightened his waist and turned his head to look at Zhou Xuan and said, "It's strange, isn't Cricket at home?"
Zhou Xuan smiled: "Don't speak out, watch for a while, this cricket has a great patience."
Sichi nodded, bowed his waist and continued to stare at the insect hole. She was an assassin and she really had to be patient and could not move at all day and night.
Zhou Xuan felt annoyed and breathing rapidly. After taking snake medicine and removing the poisonous blood from the wound, he felt much more comfortable. He sat there watching the Siniang catching insects. Because he was afraid of disturbing crickets, both of them did not speak, and there was silence around him.
At least half a stick of incense has passed since the Sichi was poured into water. Zhou Xuan saw Sichi's shoulder trembling, and his left hand gauge was swinging out, as if covering something, and asked, "Catch it?"
"Catched." Siqi threw away the shovel and walked over with a net cover, with no joy in his tone.
Zhou Xuan looked carefully and saw a small gray-white cricket in his net pocket rushing left and right.
Green, yellow, red, black, white, and white-backed crickets are something that rural children don’t want. They have no combat power at all. Moreover, the white-backed cricket in the net is still very small. Last year’s “inconcealable” was a black-backed cricket, but its size is not smaller than that of a blue-backed worm. Crickets are also more massive. The bigger ones are always better than those of a smaller one.
Zhou Xuan frowned and said, "No, two poisonous snakes are guarding such a white-backed cricket!"
Sizi said: "Maybe it just happened to be the caves together."
Zhou Xuan said: "It's too dark now, I can't see clearly, and the crickets can't see the fire again. I'll take a closer look when it's dawn. I don't believe that I'll catch such a useless insect when I was bitten by a snake!"
Siqi shook his head, put the white-backed cricket in the net pocket in a bamboo tube, sieved it with a breathable sieve, and handed it to Zhou Xuan: "Master, I will look for it again. At least I have to catch the yellow-backed worms, so that I can barely fight with the Snow Pig Prince's 'green robe Wen Chou'."
After the Siniang left, Zhou Xuan listened carefully to the movement of the white-backed cricket in the bamboo tube. He didn't hear any sound and didn't chirp. He was obviously a male cricket, but not a three-tailed female insect, so why didn't chirp?
Zhou Xuan recalled the "Secrets of the Animal King" he read. The book records the rare insect kings and mutated wild insects. Generally speaking, crickets are the best-quality green, yellow, red, black, and white, but if they are mutated strange insects, they must go backwards. The white mutated insect is the most powerful, with the strength of the general or even the insect king. Then the "untouchable" is the mutated black-backed insect, which is equivalent to the strength of the quadron general. The cricket in the bamboo tube is white. Is it actually a top-quality mutated cricket?
But such a small body shape made Zhou Xuan dare not have such a lucky chance. Regardless of whether it mutates or not, the four words "high, square, wide, and thick" are always needed. The huge difference in body shapes is completely impossible to fight. The white-backed cricket in the bamboo tube is too small, only two-thirds of the size of an ordinary cricket, which really makes Zhou Xuan dare not have expectations.
Zhou Xuan sat for a while and touched his left calf. The numbness had disappeared. He felt no longer annoyed, so he got up and went to find Sichi, holding the bamboo tube in his hand.
Behind a bush of bamboo forest, Zhou Xuan saw Sichi squatting there motionless. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around and made a gesture of silence.
Zhou Xuan walked over and squatted with Sichi. He didn't think it was, but in fact, it looked ridiculous to squat side by side.
Zhou Xuan asked in a low voice: "What are you getting?"
Sizi said: "I caught a red-backed cricket, and I was almost at the captain level. I just used the master's method of seducing insects to make the red-backed cricket chirp. When I walked here, I heard three short and powerful insect chirp. I dare not say it was a blue-backed worm, and yellow-back is indispensable."
Zhou Xuan said: "It's good to have a yellow back."
The Sizi said: "The exact location has not been determined yet. Wait for a while to listen to the sound of insects."
The two of them squatted and waited like that, waiting for at least half an hour, without hearing a half-sounding sound of insects.
Sichi used grass stems to tease the red-backed cricket that he had caught before, but no matter how he teased it, the red-backed cricket seemed to have its back wings cut without a sound.
The Siqi said strangely: "This is strange, why doesn't this insect scream anymore!"
Zhou Xuan knew that the method of Siqi teasing insects was still above him, but he could not let the red-backed cricket make a sound. It was indeed a bit strange. He also tried to tease it a few times, but the red-backed cricket just waved his head and still didn't make a sound.
The Sizi said, "It's evil, I don't believe I can't catch the yellow-backed cricket!" He hugged his waist inch by inch and searched for this area of twenty feet in a radius, but after searching for more than an hour, he didn't find any insect holes, and he didn't hear any insect chirping again.
The moon was setting westward, and it was almost dawn. The two of them caught only a white-backed worm and a red-backed weak worm. No matter how hard the snow pig prince could not raise insects, no matter how good Zhou Xuan had, no matter how many stimulant the red-backed cricket ate, it could not defeat the green-backed worm "Qinglang Wenqiu". How could the captain fight with the major general?
The Sizi was quite depressed and asked Zhou Xuan: "Master, what should I do? I will have to fight Prince Xuezhu before the hour of Hai tonight, otherwise we will lose."
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I have prepared a bad plan--"
"What's the worst?"
"Treasure."
"Take off?" Si Chi rolled her eyes and asked, "Why are you cheating on me? Prince Xuezhu is Kenyi?"
Zhou Xuan said: "Dress this red-backed cricket as a green-backed cricket, and then say that this cricket is higher than the 'green-robe Wen Chou'. Fei Qing doesn't understand the cricket, so he must believe it, so he will find a way to let go or kill our cricket. Then we will catch it, use this to block the mouth of the Snow Pig Prince, delay the time of fighting insects, and fight after I catch Chen Si'an."
Sichi pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "Master, I really want to lose before I want to win. It's true that he is invincible."
Zhou Xuan picked a kind of grass leaf, squeezed out the juice, applied the red-backed cricket again and again, and finally it looked blue and purple, and smiled and said, "Now, I'm fine, I've jumped from a captain to a major general."
The Sichi didn't know what the captain and the major general really meant, but she knew that this was Zhou Xuan's method of grading the cricket. The captain was five levels lower than the major general, and laughed softly, "Do not deceive yourself!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Let me cooperate with you later to show Fei Qing."
The Siniang said "um", lowered his head and smiled, saying, "No matter how serious or urgent the matter is, the master can easily resolve it. It's like the national teacher of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian died in a pit. You can't accept it."
Zhou Xuan said: "I am called 'The cruel butcher who transforms into a butcher'!"
It was dawn, and Zhou Xuan rushed out of the village with the bamboo tube that was wearing a white-backed cricket and shouted: "Last night was so thrilling. Two poisonous snakes attacked me, a golden armor and a white snake. If the fourth brother hadn't brought the snake medicine, I would have been sad!"
Li Hu and others were shocked and hurriedly asked what was going on?
Zhou Xuan lifted up his trousers and asked them to see the injury. Then he excitedly pointed to the bamboo tube in Sichi's hand and said, "Of course, fierce insects are poisonous snakes, and centipedes protect them and are not easily caught. I was bitten by a snake and finally caught this super fierce insect - 'Leng Yanguanyu'."
When everyone heard that the insect was caught by Zhou Jungong at risk of his life, they all took a breath of air conditioning. The insect must be extraordinary, so they all put their heads together to see it.
Siqi held the bamboo tube and asked them to see it, and said, "Everyone should speak softly, don't be shocked by this fierce insect."
Zhou Xuan even added fire and said, "Look, this insect's big teeth are grinding, like the Qinglong Yanyue Sword of Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms, or the Leng Yan Saw? It's no problem to kill Wen Chou among all the troops. Haha, although he was bitten by a snake, it's worth winning the bet with Manager Liu."
Everyone was bewitched by Zhou Xuan and nodded repeatedly. The more they looked at the insect, the more extraordinary it became, and they were amazed.
