Chapter Thirteen, Daoxiang(2/2)

"Well, here you go, I brought two packages. I'll give you the unopened package."

"atmosphere."

Xian Weimin gave a thumbs up, then immediately took apart the cigarette and handed one to Nan Yi.

Nan Yi blocked the cigarette and said, "You can take the first one yourself."

"Be particular about it."

Xian Weimin put the cigarette into his mouth and shook out another one.

Nan Yi took this one.

"We have to catch two sacks to get full work points. I don't know if there will be many crickets this year."

"There should be quite a few, right? In the summer, crickets eat reed leaves, and they smell like grass, so no one would catch them. When I set the hook yesterday, I stepped on several of them."

"It's hard to say. I caught a lot last winter. It's not delicious in the summer. It hibernates in the winter and doesn't eat. There's no smell in the stomach. The taste is just okay."

"Why are you eating this? There are plenty of other things to eat in the river, so let's keep the fertile fields."

The cricket is actually a kind of small crab. For farmers, its biggest role is to fertilize the fields. The cricket is carried back in a sack and died. Take it to the paddy field and place one among four rice seedlings and wait for it to rot.

The rice seedlings will grow wildly and are more effective than any other fertilizer.

The three of them came to the reed swamp. Each person took a reed in his hand and beat it on the mud. The crickets would run towards the middle when they were frightened. This was just right. After the three people gathered around, they could put handfuls of them into sacks.

"Fuck, bite me."

"Man, don't be so pretentious. What's wrong with a bite?"

When catching a cricket, you will inevitably get caught by its two large pincers, but as long as you load it fast enough, you can throw it into the sack before it clamps it deeply.

"It's easy to say, it's bloody."

Xian Weimin stopped, grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and put it on the bleeding area.

"What kind of mud are you using? Break off the root of the reed, peel it off and apply the juice inside to clear away heat and detoxify."

"Forget it, it's not that particular."

Xian Weimin saw that his hands were no longer bleeding, so he continued to grab the crickets and put them into the sack.

After rushing three times in a row, we finally collected three sacks.

At this time, a mass of red appeared in the sky, and Xian Weimin and Nan Yi walked toward the paddy fields carrying a sack.

They couldn't rest yet, so they had to get the crickets to the fields quickly. The members had to get the crickets to the fields overnight while they were still fresh.

Otherwise, when the crickets stink tomorrow, they will be enough to drink a pot.

We went to the fields and helped to remove the crickets together. By the time it was done, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, it was just getting dark.

I took a bath in the river and rinsed my trousers and shirt.

Wring it out, put on wet clothes and walk towards home.

"Brother, it's so late."

"Well, I just finished my work."

"I see you haven't come back. You've only stewed the rice, but the dishes haven't been cooked yet."

"It's okay, just do it slowly, I'm not too hungry yet."

"Um."

Holding a ladle in his hand and standing in front of the water tank in the yard, Nan Yi washed himself with soap from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. After rinsing, he went back to the room and changed into dry clothes.

When she returned to the yard, Liu Zhen had already laid out the food, and there was a bottle of Wuyang beer on the table.

Sit down, open the beer and pour it into the bowl. A bottle of beer is as big as a bowl.

Gudu Gudu, drank half the bowl in one breath.

"Phew, it's comfortable. Summer really goes well with beer!"

To echo Nan Yi's sentiments, crickets chirped in the wilderness outside the courtyard.
