The night breeze blew gently. Although it couldn't dispel much of the heat, it at least made people feel that there was a new flow of air.
The moon hung high in the sky, and its soft moonlight illuminated the woods west of Huaihe Village.
The sound of cicadas chirping from far and near is endless.
At the foot of Dahuai Mountain, not far from Gao's home, the dense forest is the favorite place for the people of Huaihe Village to go in the summer evenings.
Because this is a season when cicadas are abundant.
Meat is not something you can eat every day, and eggs are not cheap either. The most important thing is that these things all cost money. Only cicadas are products of nature.
Especially for children, when there are no other snacks to eat, cicadas on the trees in summer are the best delicacy.
Heat oil in a pan, fry the cicadas quickly, and the fragrance will fill your entire nasal cavity.
The crunchy texture makes many children unable to stop eating it.
There are already quite a few people in the grove now, and most of them are definitely children.
Little Linglong was being led by his elder brother Ling Mu. Ling Lin and Ling Sen were looking at Ling Li and Ling Xiaowu respectively. They each held a bucket filled with salt water.
After catching cicadas, they must be placed in salt water to prevent them from shedding their shells and becoming inedible.
When Xiao Linglong ate it for the first time, she was a little scared, but after eating it once, she felt that it was really delicious.
The most important thing is that the catching process is also very fun.
"Here's the flashlight. Look for any small holes on the ground. I'll help you dig." Ling Mu gently rubbed his sister's head and said, "Don't worry, take your time."
Xiao Linglong looked serious and a little nervous.
Still nodding very seriously: "I must let my parents, grandma and brothers have some!"
Ling Mu encouraged: "Okay, brother is looking forward to it!"
Xiao Linglong held the flashlight in both hands and tried hard to find the hole made by the cicada on the ground.
In fact, some cicadas will appear on the trees, but considering Xiao Linglong's height, it would be difficult to see those on the trees, so it is better to find those in the holes.
"Cicada, cicada..."
"Where is it..."
Xiao Linglong squinted his eyes and searched with the light of the flashlight.
While Xiao Linglong was trying hard to look for it, the other brothers behind him had already started looking for it separately.
However, Ling Xiaowu hated to move the most, so he was arranged to stay where he was and watch the salt water bucket.
They weren't worried about him getting lost, after all, he was the laziest...
"Hey, you guys are here too!"
"Ling Lin Ling Sen!"
"Take it easy, we all want to eat too!"
Children of similar age were a little scared when they saw Ling Lin and his brothers going out in a group.
When it comes to the ability to find cicadas, the Ling brothers are definitely the best.
Normally it would be enough for one person to come here, but now with so many people coming together, they will definitely clear out all the cicadas in the forest.
Before it even started, they couldn't help but beg for mercy.
Ling Sen waved his hand and said, "That's a lot! How much do you think we can eat? Why don't you go find it?"
You can't eat too many cicadas. According to the older generation, it is enough to eat three or four at a time. Eating too many may not be good for you.
Although the Ling family has many people, twenty or thirty of them will be enough.
"Then let's find it quickly!"
"Everyone, hurry up, or else everything will be gone!"
"Oh, hurry up..."
