"I see—I see—"

Because it’s already midsummer, you can hear the chirping of cicadas in your ears.

"What would Xiao An want to eat tonight?"

Xiao An had a great time today and completely forgot about the tasks assigned by his brother. Hearing his sister's question, he tilted his head and thought: "Xiao An wants to eat eggplant."

"Okay, let's make eggplant for Xiao An."

When Li Yuezhu was leaving, he passed by a field where vegetables were grown. The cabbages in the field were growing green, which was particularly pleasing.

Li Yuezhu took the basket she took down and picked up a lot of cabbage. When Xiao An wasn't paying attention, she put a lot of eggplants into the basket.

The two of them walked hand in hand up the mountain and entered the gate of the bamboo garden. As expected, the two guys who were afraid of chaos in the world started to quarrel again.

"What did you say? Say something else!"

"Let me tell you, you haven't learned to be a needleworker, and you don't know how to play music, chess, calligraphy or painting. How can you still be considered a woman? Even calling you a tigress is a compliment to you."

"You bastard, don't run away if you have the guts!"

After Li Yuezhu entered the door, he saw Lin Xinghuai running around the yard, Xiaojiu chasing after her. She was already out of breath after chasing, but she still didn't let go of the man running in front.

"If you say one more thing, I will let my brother cut out your tongue."

"I said it's almost up to you two. What time of the day are you still having fun here? Get ready to make dinner."

The two of them found their backbone only when they saw Li Yuezhu coming back.

"Yue Zhu, what are you going to eat tonight?"

"Xiao An ordered eggplant stew tonight. Besides this eggplant, I will prepare something delicious for you."

Li Yuezhu handed the basket he was carrying to Nanny Zhao, "Nanny, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Aunt Zhao took the basket with both hands, feeling even more fond of Miss Li in her heart.

Li Yuezhu found three cages woven with rattan and handed one to each of Lin Xinghuai and Chen Jiuying.

"Let's go find ingredients."

Chen Jiuying was very new to the activities here and didn't know where this girl was going to take them.

Li Yuezhu led Chen Jiuying and Lin Xinghuai, followed by Xiao An, into the forest.

"What are we looking for?" Chen Jiuying's face was full of smiles, and she knew that if she followed Li Yuezhu, she would definitely have something fresh to eat.

"Listen to the cry of the cicadas on this tree," Li Yuezhu pointed to the harsh sounds on the big trees: "The task given to you today is to catch 20 cicadas each. If you don't catch enough, you are not allowed to go back to eat."

There are quite a lot of cicadas here, mainly because there are no natural enemies and the people here are not fond of them, so they can be seen everywhere.

"What we want to catch today are cicada monkeys. This food is also very delicious. It will get dark soon, so we need to speed up. This mountain road is not easy to walk at night."

When Li Yuezhu said this, he stopped at the root of a tree and watched a cicada monkey slowly climbing up the branches. He immediately caught it in his hand and put it in the cage.

"Wow, wow, Yuezhu, you are so awesome, these bugs are what I have been most afraid of since I was little."

"I'm also afraid of bugs. If it weren't for catching these cicada monkeys, I wouldn't dare touch these legged bugs."

While talking, Li Yuezhu found another one from the branch, took it in his hand and showed it to the two of them, "This thing also has medicinal value, and it is rich in protein and has high nutritional value."

Li Yuezhu said something, but neither of them understood it. Xiao An was much more active than Chen Jiuying and Lin Xinghuai. He was still very affectionate for this mountain, and these little bugs were often caught by their friends.

They came to bake something to eat, but they didn’t expect that their sister would bring them here to bring the monkey.

"Sister, sister, look, I've caught three of them." Xiao An covered it with both hands, the palms of her hands were bulging, and carefully exposed a crack. There were indeed three dark brown monkeys crawling inside.

"Xiao An is great. I will cook a big meal for Xiao An tonight."

Li Yuezhu touched Xiao An's head encouragingly. Xiao An seemed to be inspired, and immediately got into the grass and started to look for holes. Chen Jiuying looked curious. She just saw that Li Yuezhu picked bugs from the tree. What was this little doll picking at?

Woolen cloth?

After a while, Xiao An took out two or three cicada monkeys from the hole and put them into Li Yuezhu's pocket.

"Let me make it clear to you two. If you don't fill up the little cage in your hands today, you won't be able to go back to eat."

When Lin Xinghuai saw that Li Yuezhu had given the order to die, he bit the bullet and went ahead. In fact, he was also extremely afraid of these insects in the forest.

"Hey, hey, there's one here, there's one, my aunt, come here and catch it."

Li Yuezhu was looking from here when he heard Lin Xinghuai yelling.

"If you arrest me, it will be over. What do you want me to do?"

How dare Lin Xinghuai say that he dare not touch this thing?

"Come over if I ask you to. Why are you so ink?"

Li Yuezhu walked over and looked at Lin Xinghuai who had a surprised look on his face. He took off the cicada monkey and put it directly into Lin Xinghuai's hand. Unexpectedly, the kid screamed and threw the cicada monkey to the ground.

"Ah...ah...what are you doing?" Lin Xinghuai said very miserably, as aggrieved as a divorced widow.

Chen Jiuying looked at Lin Xinghuai's cowardly look and immediately burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect that Lin Xinghuai, who was so fearless just now, would be so cowardly now. It's really embarrassing."

"Hmph, if you have the ability, go ahead. If not, don't force me."

Xiaojiu seemed to want to prove that she was more courageous than Lin Xinghuai. She overcame many fears and found a cicada monkey. She squinted her eyes and pinched it. It felt hard when she pinched it in her hand, and the thing did not attack.

Sex, holding on to their hard shells, you can only feel a few of their legs struggling.

After successfully putting a cicada monkey into a small cage, Chen Jiuying also felt that her courage seemed to have grown stronger. She was like a child who suddenly discovered fun, and went looking for it excitedly, because there were few people on the mountain and she knew

After a while, most of the cage was caught.

Li Yuezhu looked at Xiao Jiu's increasingly skillful movements and nodded with satisfaction. This child is ready to start training.

Li Yuezhu and Xiao An soon caught so many that the small cage couldn't hold them, so Xiao Yuan simply took out his clothes and carried them.

Lin Xinghuai was still following a few people. He did not dare to touch these reptiles.

"Xinghuai, why are you dangling from behind? Why don't you catch it?"

"As the second son of the Lin family, how can I be assigned to do this kind of work?"

What Lin Xinghuai said was serious. Li Yuezhu and Chen Jiuying had already seen through his background. It was obvious that this kid just didn't dare to touch him!

"Ouch, I really don't know how to write the word "disgraceful". Look at how cowardly you are, are you still a man?"

This time Xiaojiu finally got a chance and had to say something about Lin Xinghuai.

"I'm not a man, are you a man?" Lin Xinghuai immediately got angry when he heard that damn girl say that.

"You are a man, why don't you dare to touch these cute little bugs? But you let two women and a child take the lead? Why, do you want to sit back and enjoy the benefits?"

"You! Who said I don't dare to touch you? Stop belittling yourself here."

"Tch, whoever belittles oneself is not sure! If you dare, catch one for us immediately, otherwise you are a stubborn duck with a tough mouth, not a man!"

What men hate most is being told that they are no longer men, especially a half-grown boy like Lin Xinghuai, who hates this sentence deeply.
