Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Hold your breath.
Don't blink.
do not speak.
At this time, the thin monkey was lying on a branch...
All the other children raised their heads under the tree, staring intently at the skinny monkey, like a cat, slowly approaching a cicada.
This is a battle for the boy's dignity!
Strictly speaking, it's a battle that bets on the dignity of the thin monkey!
Before this trip, Thin Monkey once boasted that he was the top cicada catcher.
At the same time, in order to fool everyone to come to such a far place, he claims that the cicadas here are fat and stupid, and he guarantees that every novice can catch one!
As a result, one afternoon...a whole afternoon!
#打ic高手人设转汽车,似乎迷哥希望洗屋#
This is everyone's last chance for Skinny Monkey!
... After all, it is dusk now, if you don't hurry up and go back, it will be dark.
The thin monkey held his breath and focused his eyes without blinking, carefully staring at the cicada in front of him, which is also the most "stupid" cicada so far...
Aiming at the right moment, the thin monkey rushed over!
Got it-
Accompanied by the sound of cicadas, the thin monkey on the branch proudly raised the cicada in its hand!
Just like the elder ape in the animated movie, holding up the newborn Simba!
he made it!
The Cicada Catcher's character design is maintained!
The boys applauded one after another, offering congratulations for the birth of the new king!
The thin monkey deftly slid down from the tree and held the cicada in his hand for everyone to see.
The children hurried over to look at it.
Round and plump black body, thin transparent wings.
The cicada trembled slightly in the thin monkey's palm.
The children couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of life——
It looks very different from humans.
"Okay! Let's go!" The thin monkey pinched the cicada excitedly, and was finally willing to take everyone back to the voyage.
Ke Ke suddenly asked, "Then what should I do?"
"Ah?" The thin monkey didn't understand, "What is it?"
"That's the cicada!" Coco said.
"Take it home!" the thin monkey said confidently.
Ke Ke was surprised, "Aren't you going to let it go?"
"Let... go...it?" The thin monkey was slightly dazed, looking at the boys beside him.
After all, in his world and that of most boys, being able to climb trees and catch cicadas is a symbol of bravery, wisdom and ability.
How can you let the booty go if you have caught it at this time?
Thin Monkey thought he would get a sense of approval from the boys.
Unexpectedly, the boys pretended not to hear, pretended not to see.
In the past, when Skinny Monkey and other children caught bugs together, everyone maintained a subtle tacit understanding——
No one mentioned whether to release the cicada, so everything that happened after taking it home was taken for granted.
Now, cocoa mentioned.
Then there is a moral dilemma in this matter.
After all, a cicada is a life!
"I know—I know—" the cicada in the thin monkey's hand cried out.
Ke Ke said: "Look, it barks so loudly, doesn't it hurt?"
The thin monkey couldn't part with the toy in his hand, and couldn't bear the moral condemnation implied by Coco, so he turned to Donna for help.
Tang Na was being watched, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come up to make a rescue——
"Cicadas are very loud."
The thin monkey hurriedly gestured to Ke Ke with the eyes of "Look".
"Why?" Coco asked.
The thin monkey hurriedly signaled to Donna with "why?" eyes.
"Because the larvae of cicadas have to be buried in the soil for several years or even ten years, but they can only survive for one summer as adults. Therefore, they have accumulated so many years of strength to make the loudest sound when they are alive. .”
"..."
"..."
There was silence.
Tang Na looked over and found that Ke Ke was covering her mouth, as if she felt that the cicada was even more pitiful; while the thin monkey was trembling all over, and its expression twitched, as if the moral burden was heavier.
Tang Na scratched the side of his face: It seems that the rescue failed.
The thin monkey looked like he was about to cry, and winked, beckoning for Donna to save the scene again.
Donner reluctantly continued to save the scene——
"However, if Skinny Monkey takes it back, he will definitely treat it well!"
The thin monkey hurriedly gestured to Ke Ke with the eyes of "Look".
Ke Ke was a little skeptical, "How to prove it?"
The thin monkey hurriedly signaled to Donna with the eyes of "how to prove it".
"How about we give it a name!" Donna had an idea, "If we name one of a group of ducks, we won't want to eat the one with the name! So give the cicada a name." Give it a name, and the thin monkey will be reluctant to hurt it when it goes back!"
"Okay! What's your name?" Coco asked.
Thin Monkey couldn't figure it out, so he turned to Tang Na for help.
In a hurry, Tang Na recalled the knowledge point about cicadas just now, and blurted out, "Why don't we call it 'Xiamen'?"
"'Summer'!" the thin monkey cheered, "it's a good name!"
"Yeah!" Ke Ke originally agreed, but suddenly his expression darkened, "But Xia Tian will be locked up..."
"..."
"..."
Tang Na looked over and found that Ke Ke's expression was even more sad; the thin monkey's hands were shaking violently, and the moral burden was even heavier.
Tang Na scratched the back of his head: It seems that the rescue failed again.
The thin monkey barks its teeth and claws to hint that Donna will help again.
But there was nothing Tang Na could do to help, so he could only shrug his shoulders.
After all, if the rescue failed twice...
Maybe Tang Na also hoped that the thin monkey would let the cicada go.
"No matter!" The thin monkey was holding the cicada, ready to smash the jar, "I caught this, I don't want to let it go, I just won't let it go!"
When the thin monkey said so, Keke definitely couldn't make things difficult.
So the thin monkey held the cicada, everyone shut up, and continued walking down the mountain together.
Along the way, the children were silent.
Only the cicada kept singing in the palm of the thin monkey.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Qiuqiu took the initiative to say: "Xiamen has been talking to you!"
"Yes!" Skinny Monkey cooperated, "Xiamen has gotten along better with me!"
"That's right!" Qiuqiu nodded, "Summer must also want to go home with you!"
"Well! I'll bring Xia Tian home now!"
Bring summer home.
The thin monkey suddenly stopped because of the words he said.
The child stared blankly at his palm, meeting the eyes of the pair of small black eyes in his palm.
Bring home summer?
Bring home summer...
The other children didn't know what the thin monkey was thinking, so they all stopped and stared at him.
After waiting for a while, the thin monkey made up his mind, "I'd better let him go!"
"Why are you suddenly willing?" Tang Na asked.
"It's not my toy, it doesn't belong to me." The thin monkey said, "If I bring summer home, there will be no summer in this world."
These words hit Donna's heart.
Who can privately own Xia Tian with love?
After making this decision, the thin monkey flattened and raised his palm, and lifted it into the air...
The cicada flapped its wings and flew away from the child's palm.
The children watched it fly into the forest.
After a moment of silence, the cicadas resounded again, and they resounded louder and louder throughout the forest.
The kids let their summer go.
"Okay! Let's go!" The thin monkey clapped his palms, as if he had relieved some psychological burden, and said cheerfully, "Let's go home!"
The atmosphere became really active, and the children responded one after another: "Okay——"
The children hurried down the hill.
However, after a short delay, the sky quickly darkened.
Although the voice of adults can still be heard in the woods, it is not empty.
The children walked hand in hand, and the road was not difficult to walk.
But Ke Ke and Qiu Qiu still felt scared.
Because it was really too dark in the woods.
It was so dark that only the distant moonlight could illuminate the road ahead...
And the moonlight was too far away to help them.
"Woooo..." Although he tried his best to tell himself to be strong, Qiuqiu couldn't help but let out a cry of grief.
Qiuqiu's fear infected Keke, and the little girl also grabbed onto the corner of Donna's clothes, shivering.
Seeing that the two little friends were scared, the thin monkey who led the way blamed himself, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It would be fine if I didn't catch that cicada, and we could go home earlier."
"I don't blame you..." Qiuqiu tremblingly said, "Actually, I also want to see if you can catch a cicada!"
"That's right!" Ke Ke also said, "And if you don't catch it, you won't be happy when you go back today, right?"
"Thank you!" Skinny Monkey patted his chest emotionally, "Don't worry! I will definitely protect you!"
The five children got closer together, clinging to each other and supporting each other to continue down the mountain.
suddenly.
A flash of green in the dark night.
The light suddenly appeared like a flash, and then disappeared suddenly.
Qiuqiu screamed: "Yes! Is it a will-o'-the-wisp!"
"Ahhhhhhh..." Keke hugged Tang Na in fright.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Tang Na hurriedly comforted the two children, "We are prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious! We firmly believe in science!"
The thin monkey was all on guard, and even put on a challenge posture, as if the "wild-wisp" appeared again, and he wanted it to look good!
And Mo Li calmly stared at the location where the "wild fire" appeared just now, as if waiting for it to appear again.
A flash.
The fluorescence reappeared.
But it wasn't as long as before, this time, the speed of fluorescent strobes gradually accelerated.
Twinkle, twinkle.
Like a light breathing lamp.
"Ahhh, you ghost fire!" The thin monkey waved his fist, "Don't hurt them! Come at me if you have the ability!"
Mo Li took a step forward, pressed the thin monkey's fist, and said in a low voice, "It's a firefly."
"firefly?"
"Ah! It's really a firefly!"
After Mo Li said this, the children calmed down.
After careful observation, they realized that it was really a fluttering firefly!
However, not just one.
More fireflies slowly rose in the jungle, floating in the air with light light.
Twinkle, twinkle.
Twinkle, twinkle.
Around the children, many wandering light spots floated up.
The light of fireflies is very weak and cannot illuminate much of the road.
But there are many of them.
A little bit of them...
Light up the eyes of the children.
The light of the moon was too far away to help them.
But the light of fireflies is very close.So close, it can light up the children's courage.
With the company of fireflies, the five children were no longer afraid and found the way down the mountain more smoothly.
When they came to the gate of the park, the children seemed to sense something, and they were not in a hurry to leave.
They stopped together and looked back at the star in the forest.
Ke Ke looked at it, and suddenly said: "Guess, could they be found by 'Xiamen'?"
The thin monkey's eyes brightened, "Did 'Xiamen' let them accompany us?"
"I guess so!"
"It must be!"
I don't know which child started first, and shouted to the forest: "Thank you, Xia Tian——"
The other children responded, some repeating, some shouting, "Thank you, Firefly—"
The children's thanks were sincere, romantic and warm.
Like cicadas chirping loudly for a summer.
Thank you, Firefly.
Thank you, Summer.
