Chapter 23 Cricket
The first thing Zhan Chen did when he woke up every morning was to go to the next door to take a picture of Lanxi's door. He had to wait until the girl stared at the murderous sight yawned and kept opening the door. Only then did he return to the room to wash up with satisfaction, and he would have to take Lanxi.
The bad habit of sleeping in is killed.
Sister Lanxi gets up early and they can go to play early, but... the daytime still passes too quickly. It seems that he will have to come sooner tomorrow!
Zhan Chen, with his hair covered in hair, looked at the sky that had just turned white and nodded seriously.
If someone thinks they will be mentally deficient, they will be very wrong.
In fact, the two little ones who stumbled around every day were so energetic.
Zhan Chen chased Lanxi up and down the river during the day. When he went home in the afternoon, he was punished by his mother and Mrs. Song. At night, he was copying Buddhist scriptures while listening to Lanxi telling terrible ghost stories.
Every day is very full and fulfilling, and I don’t have time to think about those messy things anymore.
On that day, Lan Xi, who had copied Buddhist scriptures very easily, completed the task ahead of schedule. After sitting in the Buddhist temple for a few days, she finally couldn't stay.
"Puchi puschi~"
Lan Xi made some noise at Zhan Chen who had been reading a book beside him for a long time.
Zhan Chen has made great progress in her behavior from the beginning to the present tacit understanding, and has made great progress.
"What's up?"
"Zhan Chen, you have been copying for a long time. Wouldn't you feel bored when you sit here?"
Lan Xi really admires him. He is not like a first-grade child in terms of concentration and learning.
"No, I can wait for you!" Zhan Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
He knew that Lan Xi was not calling him for such an insignificant question. Zhan Chen happily put down the book in his hand, turned around and sat cross-legged, waiting for her to express her true purpose.
Knowing that this man was so calm, Lan Xi stopped talking nonsense and asked him directly: "I just heard the sound of crickets. I have finished copying the Buddhist scriptures, and it is still early. Let's go catch crickets!"
When Zhan Chen heard this, he immediately opened his round eyes.
Sister Lanxi can always do something that unexpected to him!
"It's still early?" It's already dark!
"You don't understand. Catching crickets under the night is a different kind of fun. You will understand after you go!"
Zhan Chen blinked his curly eyelashes and blinked, his eyes hesitated. It’s a pity that Lan Xi could touch this kid clearly.
"You must have never seen what the grass looks like under the moonlight. If you miss the animal concert, don't blame me for not telling you!"
Lan Xi's brain would turn when she moved her eyes, but she could not realize it when others looked at her.
Zhan Chen had never heard of what a concert was, but he knew that she was putting a trap on herself again, and she still followed her wishes while laughing.
"Let's go!"
After a while, the two of them shrank and hugged, like two little beasts lost in the darkness, looking around and avoiding the servants guarding the gate, and crawling into the woods.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Tonight, the moonlight is as bright as water. Both the paths and the plants are clearly visible. The two children are not afraid of walking on the road.
The moonlight casts the figures of the two long and overlaps from time to time as they walk.
When Zhan Chen occasionally walked behind and followed Lan Xi to turn direction, he would walk on her back. Whenever this happened, the two seemed to have only one shadow left and could no longer tell each other.
Noting this interesting phenomenon, Zhan Chen leaned against Lanxi, hoping to make the shadows on the ground seamlessly connect into one. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed after walking for a long time. He was so anxious that his little brows were almost twisted.
Lan Xi was amused by his childish childish behavior—
Isn’t this just a shadow-step game? It’s so serious and so fun?
The air was filled with the fresh smell of soil mixed with the grass and trees, and the cicadas and birds were singing endlessly, and his best friend was walking side by side. Zhan Chen was immediately fascinated by this relaxed feeling.
"Let's go, let's go to the stream. Usually there will be more bugs in the water!"
Lan Xi waved to her side, turned the direction first, and Zhan Chen immediately followed him.
Sure enough, as the sound of the gurgling water in the stream became clearer, the sound of frogs and insects in my ears became louder and louder.
The stream at night is a painting of ink painting. The stream water is ink, the moonlight is white, the deep water is thick ink and heavy colors, and the light and shadow become interesting when the moon shines.
The moment when the moonlight spreads into the water and is shattered into light spots by the running water, countless light and lively elves reborn from the nirvana. They dance and rotate with the splash of water until the light fades away, and ends in purity and beauty.
"It turns out that there was a reason why the ancients liked to watch the moon. Unfortunately, I didn't know how to write poetry, so I wasted such a beautiful scenery!"
Lan Xi was fascinated by the beautiful scene in front of her and murmured softly.
Zhan Chen nodded in agreement. It would be worthwhile to meet such a beautiful scenery, even if they finally returned empty-handed.
In this situation, Lan Xi suddenly remembered another scene in the classic song "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond", and couldn't help but invite friends to enjoy it together in the future.
"Actually, the lotus pond under the moon should be good. There is a small lotus pond in our yard. How about I invite you to my house to play?"
Of course, Zhan Chen agreed happily: "I will definitely go! You can come to my house often in the future, and your mother will definitely agree!"
After the two who made the invitation were intoxicated for a while, Lan Xi remembered the important matter that they had sneaked out.
She looked around the buzzing grass, pressed her eyebrows slightly, focusing her attention without replying.
"You must have never caught this thing. See me first and don't scare them away!"
Influenced by her serious expression, Zhan Chen became nervous and did not dare to breathe for a moment, for fear of disturbing the elf playing happily in the grass.
Not to mention Zhan Chen, Lan Xi was also very nervous, and listened carefully to the movements in the grass with his ears tilted.
She hadn't caught crickets for many years, but when she heard its familiar cries tonight, she suddenly wanted to relive her childhood in her memory, so she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't miss it.
There!
Zhan Chen had sharp eyes. According to the description of crickets on Lanxi Road, he just recognized the green insect that was parked on the leaves in front of him.
It was about an inch long, with a pair of long tentacles on its head, and its legs were long and thin, one by one, and it also had small thorns. Its thin and transparent wings made him realize instantly that "Thin and Thin"
The origin of the word "cicada wing".
Zhan Chen excitedly pulled the fingers of the people in front of him. The tacit understanding formed over the past few days made Lan Xi immediately understand that he must have discovered something.
Lan Xi turned around and looked along his fingertips. Good guy, there is one here! It takes no time to get it!
Lan Xi held her index finger up to her mouth, Zhan Chen understood and immediately fell silent.
Writing is also in vain... Every day after writing, you need to edit the words you need to update the next day. Once you practice, you have to practice one or two thousand words. The manuscript saved on that day is immediately in vain...
