It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when we returned to the small building from Uncle Haimin's house.
The house was very lively at this time, not only the previous people, but also Zhang Shengli’s parents were there.
A group of people were sitting at the dining table, eating dinner.
"You're back so soon, are you okay?" Seeing this, Tang Rou quickly put a bowl of rice on the table and asked.
"It's nothing, they were just quarreling." Zhang Shengli picked up the bowl and replied with a smile.
Looking at the table full of food, Zhang Shengli suddenly said: "Dad, do we have a bar at home?"
Zhang Xinqiang smiled and said: "I've brought it over. Brother Su doesn't want to drink it, but it's still on your table."
"Don't drink?" Zhang Shengli looked at Su Lin. It was hard for him to imagine that a man in his forties didn't drink. However, he still smiled and said: "It's okay, you can drink tea."
This meal was not very enjoyable, at least Zhang Shengli thought so.
Because Su Lin was too serious and didn't talk much from beginning to end. Maybe it was because of his tutoring, maybe it was a habit he had developed since he was a child. In short, the dinner was a bit dull.
After dinner, Su Ling'er held Tang Rou's hand and whispered, "Sister Xiaorou, let's go touch the monkey later."
She has always been thinking about this. She has been thinking about it since the arrival of the little monkey. In addition, she heard from her grandfather that this stuff tastes good, which deepens her obsession.
"It's so late, why are you catching this?" Tang Rou refused.
She has been playing this thing since she was a child and has no interest in it at all.
"Okay, will you go with me?" Su Ling'er pestered Tang Rou and turned on the coquettish mode.
Zhang Shengli had goosebumps all over his body as he listened. In order to avoid it, he deliberately moved to the side.
Being pestered by Su Ling'er, Tang Rou had no choice but to nod in agreement, but before leaving, she also pulled Zhang Shengli along with her.
"Do you want to come together?" Tang Rou smiled and looked at Zhang Shengli.
"You can just go, I won't go." Zhang Shengli refused quickly, he didn't want to join in the fun.
The two girls must have called Zhu Yao before going, plus Xu Min. What would it look like if these four girls went to play together and followed by themselves?
"Are you going?" Tang Rou glared at Zhang Shengli.
Zhang Shengli was speechless and said, "You can just go. Why should I go?"
However, as soon as he said these words, Zhang's mother walked out of the kitchen. She happened to hear the conversation between the three of them. Her eyes widened and she said, "Go if you are told. There are so many words."
Zhang Shengli surrendered and had no choice but to say: "Let's go to the head office, really!" After saying that, he ran upstairs.
"What are you doing?" Tang Rou stamped her feet.
"Go and touch the cicada, you have to be prepared." Zhang Shengli left quickly and came back quickly, and soon he had a roll of transparent tape in his hand.
Su Ling'er was curious and asked: "Didn't you touch the monkey? What are you doing with this?"
Zhang Shengli rolled his eyes and said: "Of course it works, you will know later."
In this way, the three people walked towards the back mountain and called Xu Min and Zhu Yao by the way.
There were street lights in the village, but it was really dark when we got to the back mountain. Fortunately, the girls had flashlights in their hands, and they were holding hands, so they were not so scared.
Zhang Shengli followed closely behind the women, listening to them walking and chatting. He was extremely bored and had nothing to do with him at all.
"If you catch a monkey, you can just go to the woods. Why do you have to go into the mountains?" Zhang Shengli became anxious.
"There are many mountains!" Tang Rou turned around and replied with a smile.
"But the mountains are also dangerous." Zhang Shengli was helpless.
"It's okay. We won't go far. We'll come back as soon as we reach the medicine garden."
Zhang Shengli had no choice but to agree and silently followed the four women. However, every time he came to a tree, he would stick the tape in his hand around the tree at a height of one person.
The girls didn't pay attention at first, but later he moved too frequently and finally caught their attention.
"What are you doing?"
"You'll know later." Zhang Shengli was still riddled.
Just like that, the four girls finally separated, each one holding a flashlight and a bag in their hands, walking around the tree.
"Look, I have one here!"
"I have it here too!"
"Haha, I have quite a few here."
Listening to the constant screams of the four girls, Zhang Shengli did not make any move, he just followed behind with a bucket in his hand.
"Hey! Why don't you catch me?" Su Ling'er looked back curiously.
"I can just catch them as long as you guys do it. Why do I need so much? I can't finish it." Zhang Shengli followed the four of them casually, looking both ways from time to time.
Although it was only on the outermost edge, it was night after all, and who knew if some animal would suddenly pop out here, so he had to take precautions in advance.
After about an hour, they finally arrived at the medicine garden. At this time, each of them was carrying a small bag, and they were all very excited.
"Okay, it's time to go back, right?" Zhang Shengli reminded: "You can't go any further. If you go any further, it will be bad if you encounter a wolf."
Tang Rou was fine when she heard there was a wolf, but the other girls were frightened and nodded in agreement one by one.
It was easier to go back, because the bags in their hands were already full, so they didn't pay much attention.
But Zhang Shengli took action. He was seen walking behind the women, shining his flashlight back and forth on the trees.
When they see a reflective place, they will run over and start harvesting.
Under the tape, I saw a lot of cicada monkeys parked there, as if they were lined up waiting for him to catch them.
One tree, two trees, and gradually, the bucket in Zhang Shengli's hand began to see more monkeys.
In the end, the four women also discovered Zhang Shengli's actions.
"What are you doing?"
"Catch the cicada monkeys." Zhang Shengli didn't even raise his head, concentrating on harvesting wave after wave of cicada monkeys.
"I asked you to catch me just now, but now I'm very anxious." Su Ling'er walked over and muttered.
When she saw Zhang Shengli holding the small half bucket of cicada monkeys, she immediately exclaimed.
"Why so many?"
The other three people also ran over, and they all opened their mouths in surprise, looking at Zhang Shengli in disbelief.
However, when they saw Zhang Shengli directly picking up piles of buckets, they finally understood the reason.
"What is the principle? There is potion on this tape?" Xu Min frowned, thinking of Zhang Shengli's identity as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and asked.
"Of course not." Zhang Shengli laughed and explained: "This tape is slippery and they can't climb up, so they can only stop here."
It's a very simple truth, but no one can imagine that such a simple operation can save so much effort.
"Don't spread this method, otherwise everyone will catch the cicada like this, and the cicadas will all be caught." Tang Rou reminded.
Zhang Shengli smiled and explained: "Don't worry, I know the severity. Isn't it just because you are curious that I used this trick?"
In fact, many people know this method, but few people use it. Those who catch this thing are children, and adults will not participate at all.
Well, after hearing this, Tang Rou shut her mouth.
All of a sudden, several people started to help excitedly, and they were all very busy. It took an hour to arrive, and although they didn't arrive for half an hour when they returned, they caught dozens of times as many cicada monkeys as before.
Chapter completed!
