Chapter 1643
There is a small river behind my hometown village. You can see water scorpions in the grass every summer. They usually lay eggs in June and July. The female will lay all her eggs on the male's back, so it looks like the male water scorpion is Carrying countless little eyes.
Why do the water scorpions here in Miyao Mountain delay laying eggs until December? I don’t know, because I don’t dare to act rashly. Being stung by such a big water scorpion will hurt people to death!
I tried to keep my eyes open in the water, took out the knife, and carefully pushed the thing away. Then I kicked off my legs and swam upward.
Emerging from the water, breathing heavily.
After wiping my face, Brother Yu dragged me ashore.
After landing, I took off my shirt and gathered around the fire to warm myself. Otherwise, I might lose my temperature and feel a faint cramp in my thighs.
Under the light of the fire, I frowned and looked at the "stick" I had just picked up.
See clearly.
It has nothing to do with the scepter, this thing should be called "ceremony guard."
Originally there should be a sign attached to it.
In ancient times, when important people came out on the street, there would be special people holding this kind of ceremonial guard high. After hundreds of years, the upper part has long been lost, and only this stick remains.
Xiaoxuan wiped her hair dry and frowned: "It's so disgusting. What are these dense things?"
I said it seemed like the eggs of a water scorpion would hatch by next spring.
Douyazai said in surprise: "Huh? Fengzi, there are field turtles in this river? Have you seen it?"
I nodded and told about the scene that just happened underwater.
After hearing this, Xiaoxuan threw the guard of honor directly into the fire.
There was a crackling sound in an instant, accompanied by the aroma of roasted chicken.
He raised his head and asked, "How are you doing? Can you still go into the water?"
I shook my head and said, "We haven't fished it all out yet. There should be some stuff in the mud at the bottom of the water, but we've run out of energy. I think something is going to happen. I feel like my thighs are going to cramp now."
He said, "Let's eat something and rest first, and then we'll talk about it when our strength recovers."
After changing into dry clothes, the wet clothes were placed next to the fire to bake. Probably less than half an hour later, Dou Sprout fell asleep and dozed off his head.
I saw it first.
At some point, the clothes on the rack were covered with a layer of water scorpions!
When I looked down, I saw a lot of people crawling on the ground.
"Don't sleep! Get up!"
My head suddenly woke up, I raised my head and asked me what was wrong.
At this time, a thumb-sized water scorpion flapped its wings and landed on the head and shoulders, followed by two, then three...
Although Baotou was older, he reacted quickly. He took off his coat and threw it away!
There was a stinging pain, and when I looked down, I saw this thing bit me on the back of my hand!
Everyone woke up, and Dou Sprout cursed loudly, jumped up and down, and slapped himself hard!
Xiaoxuan was so frightened that she screamed!
I yelled in panic: "Be careful! Stay away from the grass!"
Perhaps it is the revenge of nature, the revenge of animals!
Xiaoxuan burned those insect eggs, so she was attacked the most. I wanted to run over and help her, but right now!
A black shadow slammed down Xiaoxuan!
Immediately afterwards, the tattered military coat completely covered Xiaoxuan!
It's Lao Wang.
He kept Xiaoxuan motionless and shouted loudly! !
More than ten minutes later.
I stood by the fire catching my breath.
Water scorpions cannot stay ashore for too long and must return to the water after a while, otherwise they will die.
"Is everyone okay?"
"Damn, it hurts me so much!" Douyazai touched his neck and grimaced in pain.
"How are you, Lao Wang!"
I saw Lao Wang getting up from the ground, casually picking up his coat and putting it on. He seemed to be still drunk, his face turned red, and he waved his hands and said: "I'm fine, grandma! Why are there so many fields in the winter? It's really a ghost." !”
Xiaoxuan also got up. She looked at Lao Wang and said with a frightened face: "Uncle, let me help you check the wound!"
"No, I'm fine."
Lao Wang pointed at the small river behind him and said with a smile: "You don't know, every summer, I come here to catch these field turtles to eat. It's common to get a few bites. I'm used to it."
Judging from Lao Wang's appearance, he spoke clearly and had a rosy complexion. It really didn't look like he was in trouble.
As he said, indeed, you are like some people who keep scorpions and are not afraid of scorpion stings at all, and people who keep snakes are not afraid of snake bites.
We put out the fire, packed up our things, and hurriedly left the creek with all the cultural relics we had picked up, and returned to the cave where Lao Wang lived.
The harvest was quite fruitful this time, with a total of nineteen Xixia swords caught! There are also some beautifully cast armor remnants! Ceremony and so on.
