That was simply a lifelong shame for Cheng Yi, and he never wanted to mention it again in this life.
But the one he mentioned was his eldest brother, the one he couldn't resist!
Cheng Yi grinded his teeth in hatred and stared at his brother for a long time, and finally decided to eat more cicada monkey tomorrow.
Cheng Jin is still waiting for the answer: "Second brother, who is your master?"
Cheng Yi turned a deaf ear and said in a fake tone: "Hey, I thought I saw one just now. I'll look for it."
Cheng Jin was confused and didn't understand why the second brother refused to say who his master was.
Turning his head, he saw Ling Bao's guilty expression and asked silently, "Ling Bao, what's wrong with you?"
Lingbao crossed his fingers and consciously admitted his mistake: "I also respect my second brother's master."
Isn’t it right to be filial and respectful to your elders?
Cheng Yi shouted: "He is not my master! Don't talk nonsense, Ling Bao!"
Cheng Yun frowned: "What are you yelling at? You have done stupid things, and you still have the ability to yell at Lingbao?"
Cheng Yi shrank his neck.
Only then did Cheng Yun tell Cheng Jin the whole story.
After listening, Cheng Jin's eyes were complicated and he said implicitly: "Second brother, I still have some money. Let's go buy a fish to eat tomorrow."
Fish meat nourishes the brain.
Cheng Yi: "..."
Hearing what he meant, everyone burst out laughing. The birds resting on the tree were frightened and flew away with fluttering wings.
Xie Wuyang joined in the fun and said condescendingly: "Second brother, I also have money. I'll buy you some pig brains to eat."
Cheng Yi: "..."
Only his wounded world was reached.
On the way, I met villagers who also came to catch cicada monkeys. They said hello to each other and then separated.
But there’s no time to chat. The more you catch, the more you’ll eat. It’s so delicious.
"Third brother, there are more here, come and catch them."
Instead, Lingbao looked after Cheng Jin like a big sister. When she saw a cicada, she called her Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin obviously liked this job and had a smile on his face.
The two of them worked together flawlessly and quickly filled the bamboo tube.
When no one was paying attention, Ling Bao secretly poured the food from his bamboo tube into the space, and repeated the same trick, hehehehe.
After catching it all night, several children couldn't help but yawn.
When they got home, they poured it into a big basin, salted it, pressed it with bamboo grates, and then went back to their houses to sleep.
I went to bed too late and got up late the next day.
Lingbao stuck his butt out and slept like a carefree little pig, holding the king's tail in his arms.
Lingbao woke up and before opening his eyes, he lay on the bed and stretched out: "Ah, I slept so comfortably."
Put on your clothes, shoes and socks, and go to the yard to brush your teeth and wash your face.
It's hot now. Lingbao put his hand in the basin, squinted his eyes comfortably, and whispered, "I really want to play in the water."
"No way." Cheng Yun said after hearing this, "Be careful of catching a cold."
Even the water she used to wash her face was mixed with warm water. She was afraid that she would get sick. A little girl should be raised delicately and delicately.
Lingbao quickly assured: "Brother, I'm just talking!"
In one night, the cicada monkey had vomited all the sand.
Lingbao squatted in front of the big basin and scrubbed together.
Cheng Yi muttered: "Why does it look so much more than last night? I remember it was the same last year."
Ling Bao buried his head and looked at each other with the king, then rubbed it diligently and vigorously.
I'm working, but I can't hear you.
After a while, Xie Wuyang also came over from the next door and squatted down next to Lingbao familiarly.
Cleaning the cicada monkey should not be too troublesome. Make sure to wash it thoroughly. After cleaning, put it in a pot and cook it. After it is cooked, it is ready to eat. It has a salty taste and is delicious.
Ling Bao grabbed one from the basin and gave it to Cheng Jin: "Third brother, try it."
Cheng Jin took a look, put it into his mouth without changing his expression, tasted it carefully, and replied seriously: "It's delicious."
“The fried ones taste better!”
Lingbao couldn't wait to let Cheng Yi fry some. After frying, he was the first to share it with Cheng Jin. It looked so small that he wanted to feed it to him with his own hands.
The fried one is more crispy than the boiled one. It tastes sizzling and has an oily aroma, especially the cicada monkey's thin legs, which are very crispy.
"Well, this one tastes better."
"Hehe, let me just say it's delicious." Ling Bao thought of something, took Cheng Jin's hand and said, "Third brother, have you ever eaten toon?"
Cheng Jin shook his head, unaware that the frightened Cheng Yi was winking at him desperately.
Xie Wuyang asked curiously: "What is toon?"
"It's also delicious!" Lingbao calculated the time and said happily, "It's just the right time to pick it, let's go in the afternoon!"
Xie Wuyang said yes, and Cheng Jin nodded.
Now that my friends can taste delicious food, Lingbao went to prepare a small basket happily.
Cheng Yi clicked his tongue and shook his head, saying with sympathy: "You guys are miserable."
The two of them were confused and didn't understand why they said that.
Cheng Yi gloated and said: "You will find out tonight."
Some villagers came over with wooden basins and wanted to borrow their iron pots.
"The little ancestors of my family, after smelling the smell of fried cicadas in your family, they will eat fried food even if they live and die. I can't turn it into an iron pot, so I can only borrow yours." The woman said.
People are embarrassed to say.
Cheng Yun smiled gently: "It doesn't bother you, just use it."
"Hey, thank you, Da Lang."
The woman brought her own lard and borrowed someone else's pot. How could she also borrow the oil? Wouldn't that be shameful?
After all, those few children were not the only ones who were drooling by the smell of fried cicada monkeys. Two more came one after another, but they all deliberately avoided the meal and waited for the afternoon meal.
The owner of the pot brought some cicadas and firewood.
In fact, it was possible to pick toon last month, but Lingbao was so busy that he forgot about it.
Fortunately it's not too late.
After finding the toon tree, Cheng Yi climbed up quickly.
Lingbao looked hot and said: "Second brother, I want to climb up and pick it myself."
Since arriving at the Cheng family, her eldest brother has not allowed her to do such dangerous things, but she is very good at climbing trees and has never fallen down!
Cheng Yi looked down at her and wanted to refuse, but when he saw his sister's pitiful and expectant eyes, he couldn't say anything.
"Brother won't let you climb."
Lingbao said: "I have grown up and am no longer a child."
A full year older than last year!
Cheng Yi covered his heart, his sister was so cute, he really couldn't refuse her!
"Then, it can only be for a while."
Lingbao nodded excitedly.
Cheng Yi jumped down and wanted to carry Ling Bao up, but Ling Bao hugged the trunk of the tree and climbed up, leaving three stunned boys behind.
This speed rivals that of Cheng Yi!
Xie Wuyan's eyes lit up: "Lingbao, you are so powerful!"
Cheng Jin said: "It climbed so fast."
Ling Bao smiled proudly: "Of course, I'm very powerful!"
At this time, a white shadow flashed past.
The little white cat on the ground disappeared and was already at Lingbao's side in the blink of an eye.
Ling Bao sat on the tree trunk, with his two calves twisted together, raising his hands to pick the toon buds, and then put them into the small basket that the king was biting.
But he was quickly ordered to come down.
Although he knew that his eldest brother was at home now, Cheng Yi always felt that at some point his eldest brother would jump out from somewhere and scold him.
