Chapter 35: Black Steel Pliers and Sky Blue

At night, Yu Ge'er and his men who left overnight yesterday came to Xikou Village again.

Every night, villagers who work for a day will go to the entertainment area in the south of the village to relax their fatigue. Adults will place tables and chairs, drink tea and drink, chat about family matters, and children will play around with the light.

When autumn insects are active, the village's entertainment area is surrounded by four pillars and becomes a lively rushing rushing competition. Whether young or old, they will go to the fields to catch some rushing rushing and fight with people. However, the villagers do not have much competitive attitude towards this and only treat it as entertainment.

Only young men like Ruyuer who occasionally come will have some attractive lottery, which will make the villagers compete for fighting and weaving. However, good weaving is hard to come by. Most of the villagers will watch the fun and will not spend too much time catching weaving.

The turbulent fight was rushing to the children. At this moment, a group of children surrounded Dongzi in a corner of the entertainment area, watching his Sanduanjin kill all over the world.

Brother Yu also quietly came behind the children, looked at Dongzi with a proud look on his face, and smiled and said, "Dongzi, how about I'll pay 200 taels today? Will I sell it?"

Dongzi turned his head and looked at him and asked, "How much will you pay tomorrow?"

Brother Yu said without hesitation: "Three hundred taels."

Dongzi grinned: "Then I'll wait a few days before selling it."

Looking at Dongzi with a slutty smile, Brother Yu said viciously: "I will catch the best cricket for a while and bit your Sanduan Jin to death. See if you can still smile."

Dongzi spread his hands: "I can't ask for it."

Brother Yu snorted "angrily" and turned around and left.

Next to the stream at the entrance of the village, Yang Qi was telling Xu Ziling and others about the many ways of fighting and weaving, from the head, face, wings, legs, color, flesh of the fabric, to how to catch, feed, how to treat, how to fight, etc., he talked endlessly and incredibly detailed.

The originally bored maid Yue'er became very interested in Dou Jue after listening to Yang Qi's explanation, and yelled to catch Dou Jue with them. Mingxia also heard about Dou Jue in Bianliang, but she was not very interested in this kind of activity. She just wanted to stay with Xu Ziling with them.

Yang Qi was talking, but suddenly heard Yu Ge'er teasing voice: "Young Master Qi knows a lot, but why did your cricket come on the stage?"

After hearing his words, Yang Qili stopped talking quickly and stopped talking.

The maid beside him saw Brother Yu'er's arrogant look and asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Geng's cricket powerful?"

Brother Yu immediately laughed dryly, touched his head and said, "It's amazing, of course there are, uh... but I accidentally crushed it to death when changing the sting pot."

Bingxue's smart maid didn't believe what he said, dragged her crisp voice and let out a long "Oh".

After hearing the maid's disbelief, Brother Yu laughed a few more times and patted Yang Qi on the shoulder: "Let's go, Mr. Qi, with Brother Xu's help today, I will definitely find a lot of good products."

Xu Ziling was a little confused about this. He was just a young man in this regard. Why did Geng Jingyu value him so much? However, after two days of observation, Yu Ge'er's frivolous temperament was obvious at a glance, so he just regarded him as a polite person.

After a while, he took several pairs of mesh covers, bamboo cages and other tools to capture the wovens, and ordered his followers to wait at the entrance of the village. Yu Ge'er and his few people walked into the fields outside the village.

The more you walk into the fields, the sound of frogs and insects become clearer.

Xu Ziling listened carefully and found that the insects were ringing in a lot and messy manner. He felt that they were all around, but he could not tell the exact location.

But it was Brother Yu who took the lead in making moves. He walked to a low slope and squatted down, holding a mesh cover in his left hand and digging up a pile of soil with his right hand. After digging a few times, a hole appeared under the soil, and a tiny black shadow jumped out.

Brother Yu'er had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately covered it. Seeing that he seemed to have gained something, Xu Ziling slowly surrounded it. Brother Yu took out another small bamboo cage, opened the cotton plug at one end, opened the special hole of the mesh cover, and then connected the bamboo cage to it, slowly forced the cricket into the bamboo cage, and finally closed the cotton plug.

Brother Yu caught a wiping woven like a flowing water, which surprised Xu Ziling and others. Yang Qi saw the appearance of the crickets inside through the gap in the bamboo cage, and shook his head gently: "It's just that ordinary crickets, tooth clamps, limbs, legs, and wings are all in a flat position."

Brother Yu glanced at him a few times, did not refute Yang Qi's words, and directly opened the bamboo cage and put the cricket on his back. He seemed to admit Yang Qi's words.

Then Brother Yu'er did the same thing in the nearby pile of soil, caught a few more crickets, but he also looked at them and then dropped them.

Seeing that Brother Yu was caught and released again and again, Yang Qi reminded: "You can't search like a needle in a haystack. Most of the crickets here can only be considered pests and cannot be used as fighting crickets. You still have to listen carefully to their chirping. The cries of the insect king are vigorous and fierce, and they are obviously different from the chirping of ordinary crickets. You should be able to hear them."

Brother Yu stopped the movements in his hand, scratched his eyebrows, and said sarcastically: "Young Master is familiar with the "Autumn Insect Collection" and "The Chronicles of the Chronicles of Weaving", but in this field, the sound of frogs and insects are ringing one after another, and the sizes are different. Even if the sound of the insect king is strange, can we distinguish clearly with our ears?"

Yang Qi asked weakly: "Aren't you the five senses of martial arts stronger than ordinary people?"

After hearing his self-righteous question, Brother Yu shoved him and sneered: "No matter how powerful he is, he is still a human being, so how can he hear it?"

A gentle voice suddenly said, "I seem to be able to hear the difference in their voices."

Xu Ziling looked at her in surprise: "Mingxia, can you hear it? Why can I only hear the messy screams?"

Seeing everyone staring at me, Mingxia felt a little embarrassed, but she still said openly: "I used to learn playing the piano in the teaching workshop, and I found that my ability to distinguish tone was beyond ordinary people, which is a kind of talent. Now, when I listen to these crickets, I feel messy, but if I listen carefully, I can still hear some different places inside. For example, there."

As he said that, he pointed his hand at a grass and continued, "I think the crickets there are screaming sharper and louder than other crickets."

Brother Yu followed her pointing to a grass. Before he could see it, the crickets in the grass seemed to sense the movement and jumped out. However, Brother Yu was a master of entering the house after all. No matter how fast the cricket moved, he still couldn't escape Yu Ge'er's lock.

But Brother Yu scattered a net cover in the air, cut off the cricket from mid-air, and then forced it into the small bamboo cage as before.

Yang Qi walked over and saw a pair of black teeth that were as bent as wheat and as dark as carbon. He said excitedly: "Black steel pliers!"

Brother Yu, who was watching carefully with the bamboo cage, was also very energetic: "Miss Li can really tell it out! This cricket is amazing. Unfortunately, it's a pity that his wings were broken by the net, but he can still fight."

The maid Yue'er was very excited to know that her lady had such skills. She walked to Brother Yu to take a pair of mesh covers and small bamboo cages, ran to Mingxia, pulled her sleeves, and asked with a look of longing, "Miss, listen again, are there any crickets that sound good?"

Mingxia chuckled and shook her head: "No more, I can't hear it now."

When Xu Ziling saw that Mingxia could really hear the difference in the chirping of crickets, he became interested and said to Mingxia: "Let's go, Mingxia, let's take a walk around to see if there are any powerful crickets."

So he took Mingxia to stroll around the area with strong insect sounds. Yue'er saw Xu Ziling holding his lady's hand, glaring at him with a little mouth, and following him.

Both Yu Ge'er wanted to see more insect kings, so they put away the bamboo cage and followed.

However, Xu Ziling took Mingxia for a long time, and she kept shaking her head, as if there was no sound around her.

Xu Ziling said in a little puzzled manner: "Is there a good cricket around this village?"

Yang Qi retorted: "It's not the case. Some insect kings can only chirp a few times overnight, and they don't want to compare with other crickets."

"So that's it. No wonder the insect king is hard to come by." Xu Ziling said suddenly.

After looking at Mingxia, Xu Ziling found that her face was a little sleepy. Suddenly, she remembered that she must have been tired after listening to the strange chirping of crickets in the noisy sound for a long time.

Seeing that she endured her for so long for her own interest, Xu Ziling said with distress: "Mingxia, let Yue'er accompany you to rest for a while, I will accompany Brother Yu and the others to catch her for a while." Seeing Xu Ziling's caring gaze, Mingxia nodded and asked Yue'er to accompany her back to the village. Although the maid was a little interested in crickets, she still felt that her own lady was the most important thing, so she returned the net and bamboo cage and accompanied the lady to go back to the village.

After Mingxia left, Brother Yu started searching again like a needle in a haystack. Xu Ziling and Yang Qi, like him, also began to catch crickets around based on their feelings.

After searching aimlessly for another hour or two, the three of them had harvested some crickets that could be used as fighting crickets, but most of them were of the upper-middle qualifications, far less than the black steel pliers they caught first.

Brother Yu was a little bored, so he asked Xu Ziling and the others to clean up and prepare to go back. Fortunately, there was a high-quality cricket black steel pincer, and Brother Yu was not disappointed, and he was also talking and laughing along the way.

It was already late at night, and all the people who came out to spend the nightlife in the village returned to the house. Only Brother Yu and Yang Qi's entourage were still waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

When Xu Ziling and the other two returned to the village, they found that there were two other entertainment venues in the south of the village. When they went over, they found that it was Dongzi and Yue'er.

The maid Yue'er was holding a small bamboo stick and teasing the crickets in the clay pot on the table, and Dongzi watched from the side.

Xu Ziling looked at the clay pot curiously, and was stunned for a moment.

The cricket's legs are as blue as the sky, and the wings spreading on its back are green like trees in the mountains. The long tentacles are also intersecting blue and blue. The whole body is bright and dazzling, shining brightly under the illumination of the oil lamp, making people unable to help but look at it.
