? The bottom line is that I love bugs in my spare time, and I bought the Hidden Jade City at a high price. All the enemies are caused by fighting for the opposite sex, and they don't hesitate to fight to show off their heroes.
? Cricket fighting, one of the Chinese folk fighting games, is an ancient entertainment activity, but this form of leisure is cruel. Only males can fight, and they bite each other to defend their territory or compete for mates. The two insects fought fiercely, and the defeated party either fled or withdrew from the fight, but it was rare for them to "die on the battlefield." This kind of thing began in the Tang Dynasty and became popular in the Song Dynasty. Finally, in the Qing Dynasty, it became the favorite activity of the Manchu people, and they became more and more particular about the appearance of crickets. Cricket children are required to have no "four diseases" (head tilt, tendrils, teeth training, kicking legs). There are also differences in appearance and color. "White is not as good as black, black is not as good as red, and red is not as good as yellow." Crickets, whose scientific name is crickets, are also called weeding insects, autumn insects, etc. They like to inhabit hillsides, fields, piles of rocks and grass with slightly moist soil. There are many in number, but there are few high-quality insects. Children will catch the insects first. To be preferred. First: The body must be big. As the saying goes, a strong body is not a loss. Big people have an advantage in strength when fighting. Second: The color is shiny, and the whole beard and tail are the same. It is just like a beauty pageant. You can fight well and look good at the same time. The cricket's tentacles, which we call eyebrows, are as long as the left and right sides when intact, and there is a small point at the top, which is very easy to break. You must be careful when catching it, and don't use too much force. I remember that I once had a bug that could kill all over the yard. It was rare and in excellent condition. When I closed the box after feeding, I accidentally pinched my eyebrow. As soon as the bug struggled, its whiskers broke. I was heartbroken for a long time. There are still two whiskers on the cricket's tail, which cannot be cut off, just for the sake of appearance. Third: color, preferably the wings are golden yellow, we call them golden wings, they look very majestic; fourth: wing tail, the tail of the cricket's wings also has two whiskers, which are placed in the middle of the eight-character tail whiskers , this species related to insects is very important. The one with two wings and whiskers forming an eight-pointed shape is the best for hunting and is of high quality. If the wings and whiskers are parallel and very long, it is called Changfei, which can fly but is very difficult to catch. If it is short and has long wings, it is called Changfei. The sharp ones are not as good as the above two. When the monthly salary was more than thirty yuan, a good cricket could be sold for five or six yuan. Now I heard that one cost tens of thousands, which is really beyond imagination.
? Every summer vacation, catching crickets is our top priority. The place where crickets are caught is near Xiaohei River, five and a half kilometers south of the city. There is a large grassland with many insects and good quality. Because the journey is long, we must have someone to accompany us, so we have to make an appointment with a friend one day in advance. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at night, so I got up as soon as it got light, got dressed neatly, brought a homework book, grabbed a steamed bun, got on the old bicycle at home, and set off. At that time, bicycles were also big items, and there were only two good ones at home. My parents had to use them for work, so they could only ride the car that was almost scrapped at home, commonly known as "Kas 69" (a Soviet jeep from the 1960s and 1970s, known for its old-fashioned durability. (famous for exercise), usually 28 big poles (straight beams), just like what is said in cross talk, except that the bell does not ring, it rings everywhere, and it moves everywhere except the handle. Sometimes the tires are flat and I just ride like that. Short children have to do crotch removal, which is a technical job. Because your body is completely on the left side of the car, you have to stretch your right leg from under the frame to the right side of the car, put your right foot on the right pedal, and push the car up together with your body. People need to be balanced, and the car needs to be balanced, and with the ups and downs of the body, the balance point needs to be constantly adjusted and changed, and the car must be moved. It is indeed better than an adult learning to ride a bicycle, straddling one leg on the seat, and both legs. It's much more difficult and dangerous to get to the ground.
? Two and a half kilometers out of the city, there is a tomato garden and a large pump house. Cool underground water is continuously pumped up, watering the garden, and it never stops. This is our fixed rest stop. The child was exhausted and sweating profusely after riding such a long distance, so he drank some cold sweet water and ate the steamed buns by the way. The tomatoes in July are not fully ripe yet, so there is no one to guard the garden, but for us children, this is already a rare good thing.
The skin of the persimmon is green, with only a little red on the top. We call it "green apple". When you bite it, the flesh inside is already red, full of water, sour and sweet, which is enough to satisfy our craving. After eating and drinking, and taking some more with us, our next stop is our destination.
When we arrived at the meadow, we left our bicycles without locking them, so everyone chose a feng shui spot and started catching crickets. Catching crickets is a technical job, and there are many techniques:
? 1. Knock on the mountain to shake the tiger, and keep stepping on the turf back and forth. When the insects are shocked, they will jump out of the cave one after another and let you slaughter them.
? 2. Dig the grass to find the insect's hole in the relatively moist shallow grassland, and then dig out the entire turf.
? 3. Geometry theorem, after hearing the chirping of insects, first one person faces the direction of the sound, and then the other person walks to the other side. After the insect chirps, both of them move straight towards the sounding place at the same time. , where the two meet is Chong'er's hiding place. This is the theorem of two straight lines intersecting a point. Unexpectedly, we started to apply it in practice when we were in elementary school.
? After catching the bugs, the homework book comes in handy. Tear a piece of paper, roll it into a tube, and tighten one end. It will be a good container, stuff the bugs in, Tighten the other end and it's OK. We continued fighting like this until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when we were exhausted and exhausted, we finally headed back home. When I went back, I still went to the pump room of the tomato garden to wash off the sweat on my body, and then picked a few more tomatoes. When passing by the corn field, in line with the principle of "a thief never comes empty-handed", I took off my pants, tied the two trouser legs tightly with straw, stuffed the trouser legs with corn, and then put the bulging pants around my neck and returned with a full load. Anyway, the child No one laughs at me if I don’t wear pants.
? Today’s children may not be able to imagine that a group of primary school students can ride out of the city for a whole day without adults, nor can they feel the joy we had at that time. I really hope that one day our children You no longer have to work so hard, and you can have a childhood where you can have fun!
