Chapter 7 [Crickets hopping to and fro]
The summer breeze is swaying.
There is a slope beside the moat. After walking down the steps, there is a river that is neither deep nor shallow on the left, and a row of green and faint tree pits and grass on the right. Every few meters, there are willow trees swaying in the wind. Bang! I killed a black mosquito that landed on my wrist, fanned the void, stepped into the coquettish grass, and carefully explored the grass with canvas shoes, but a few bubbles of dog shit and a bunch of vicious poisonous mosquitoes were churn out.
Ring ling ling ling ling …
Just as I searched further, my phone rang.
It's Zou Yue'e!
I turned around and exited the grass and answered the phone, "Hey, Aunt Zou."
"Hello, hehe, hehe, don't be so polite, that's right. I just bought a jade pendant from Panjiayuan during the day and will give it to someone tomorrow, but I'm not very relieved. Please help me with my palms?"
I was wondering: "I'm in You'anmen. It may not work today, there's something going on here."
"You'anmen? That's right. I'm not far from Guang'anmen. Please wait for me, I'll go there now?"
"Okay."
I told her the specific location, and I hung up the phone and continued to search for the grass.
The sun is about to set, if you don’t hurry up, you may have to return to nothing today. Five or six minutes have passed, and I suddenly caught a small black shadow from the corner of my eye. I subconsciously stopped. I held my knees and glanced at it. I saw a cricket nestling peacefully in the haystack, with black heads, black body and black wings, like a dark bead. If we follow the words to describe humans, this cricket should have a big face, wide body, thick neck, and a head. Looking at the head, it is at least eight centimeters in size.
The tradition of Beijingers playing crickets was left in the Ming Dynasty. When I was a child, I often fought crickets with the children in the alleys. Although I was not proficient, I also had some vision. The cricket in front of me, regardless of whether it was body color or size, was almost impeccable. It was the one that the child caught a few days later!
Whoosh!
The cricket jumped around and jumped into the willow pit.
I hurriedly squatted down, moved my steps carefully, held my hands, and slowly approached it.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
It seemed to notice someone was trying to catch it, and before I could get closer, it jumped around and had no rules at all.
One person and one insect, one in front and one behind, a scene of pursuit and counter-chasing was staged.
I haven't caught crickets for two years, and my hands are very good. On several occasions, I kept worms and weeds in my palms, but I was unconsciously it got out of the gap between my fingertips. The cricket with big head jumped faster and faster, and after getting out of the grass, I jumped all the way towards the moat.
"Oh, Xiaojing, which drama are you acting?" Diagonally opposite, Zou Yue'e hugged her shoulders and looked at me with a look of wanting to laugh but embarrassed to smile: "If you don't walk well, why are you climbing on the ground?" She wore a dark brown OL outfit today, and the feminine look came to her face.
My face turned red and pointed to the front and explained, "I'm catching crickets. This guy is so clever. By the way, Aunt Zou, can you help me stop it? Don't let it jump into the river."
Zou Yue'e sighed reflexively, lowered her head and raised her high heels: "Where are there?"
"Here, it's right ahead of you."
"I'm just afraid of bugs. Hey, it won't bite people, right?"
"Don't bite, just block it."
Zou Yue'e squatted down with her skirt covering her skirt, looked at Cricket with a timid look, reached forward, and stood her LV handbag one centimeter above the ground, "Is this OK?"
"Okay, OK."
The next moment, I saw the opportunity and rushed forward with a step.
But, the cricket escaped from the spot again, and after jumping a few times, he rushed to the LV handbag.
"Ah!" Zou Yue'e shivered suddenly, and her buttocks thrust to the ground, shaking her arms desperately: "Jump on my hand!"
"It's on the ground! Don't move! Don't move! I'll catch it now!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I clearly saw that the cricket was shaking his arms and soaring into the air in an extremely graceful posture, drew an arc and sank into Zou Yue'e's OL skirt. Aunt Zou, who was sitting on the ground, immediately screamed strangely, her face turned pale, and she shook her thighs while shouting: "Get it out quickly! Ouch! Hurry!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Looking at Aunt Zou's skirt, my face became hot, "It doesn't bite people, you, you..."
"I saw it! On my legs!" Zou Yue'e put down her hand with a pale face, and trembled her brown professional skirt to her waist, "Don't be stupid! Take it away!"
At this point, I didn't care about anything. I dodged my eyes and half knelt on the ground, touched the flesh-colored stockings on the top of her thighs with one hand, wiped her two plump long legs with the other hand and reached into the hot skirt, confirming the position, and steadily covering the cricket. The stockings were very thin and slippery, and it was soft and tender.
After all, this is the first time I have had such close contact with a woman, and my heart is thumping.
The cricket's legs may have been hung up because of stockings, so he refused to come down.
I was reluctant to hurt it, so I pressed the inner side of her left leg with the minimum amplitude and shook it gently, and the small flesh on Aunt Zou's legs also trembled wave after wave.
You can imagine how indecent our posture was.
But I swear to God that I really don’t mean to take advantage of Manager Zou.
Looking at Zou Yue'e's gradually strange gaze, I wish I could dive into the moat.
Fortunately, the cricket's legs were quickly removed from the wrapping of stockings, and the cricket could not escape from my Wuzhishan. I took out my hand from her skirt, and I turned my head, and I was embarrassed to look at Aunt Zou's face. I took out a hundred-dollar bill from the pocket, folded it into a cylindrical shape with one hand, put it in the cricket, and sealed it.
Huh, I finally caught it.
As if she was like a treasure, she put the paper tube into the pocket of her T-shirt's top. I quietly noticed Zou Yue'e's expression. She was patting her plump buttocks and cleaning up the dirty soil on her butt. Soon, Aunt Zou turned her head to look at me and smiled a few times: "You have given me aside, haha, look back, I must complain to Sister Cui. In her son's heart, I don't have a cricket yet."
"No, no." I laughed dryly apologetically, and touched my nose with my right hand that retained Aunt Zou's thigh temperature: "This insect is of good quality, it's a pity to kill it. Besides, if I really grab it to death, the water that broke my stomach will make you feel disgusting."
Zou Yue'e glanced at me angrily: "Okay, okay, show me the jade pendant."
I took it and looked at it, shook my head slightly: "This is the kind of ordinary jade, it's worthless."
"I think so, it's not good to be cheap." Zou Yue'e sighed: "Xiaojing, you are an expert. Please help me think of a gift that is both cheap and affordable, right?"
"Well, I have to go to Guanyuan Bird Market to sell crickets tomorrow, why don't you go there with me to take a look?"
