After friendly negotiation, the breakfast menu for the two finally settled on miso soup with real vegetables and egg rolls.
Chef Zheng Shiyan and Lin Cheng started. Although there were many twists and turns in the middle, the two finally made breakfast.
“Little lazy pigs, get up quickly! Breakfast is already ready.”
Lin Cheng went into the house and woke them up one by one.
Han Shuyan opened her eyes first. Seeing her dazed look, Lin Cheng quickly kissed her cheek.
“Yeah! Disgusting.”
Han Shuyan punched him angrily, and she felt sober all of a sudden.
Lin Cheng chuckled and turned around to wake up the two little girls.
Enxi was okay, that girl Xiaoying was obviously angry, she closed her eyes and stared at her short legs and almost kicked Lin Cheng in the face.
After everyone got up and had breakfast, the three of them took the two little girls into the back mountain.
The back mountain is not high, and the woods on the mountainside are very dense. Everyone stopped in a small pavilion next to the mountain stream.
“Now! Just catch bugs around and don’t get too far away.”
With the instructions, Zheng Shiyan left the task of taking care of the two little girls to Lin Cheng. She and Han Shuyan sat on the high steps of the pavilion to control the overall situation and take a rest.
There are no poisonous insects or snakes in this mountain, so they can rest assured with Lin Cheng watching over them.
Xiaoying excitedly grabbed her small net bag and took the lead in looking for the giant longhorned beetle. Enxi fearfully followed behind her friends, tightly grabbing the corner of Xiaoying's clothes and looking down at the ground, for fear of encountering scary insects.
“Don’t worry, Enxi, uncle will take good care of you.”
Lin Cheng followed and comforted the little girl for a while, finally making her feel less nervous.
“Uncle Enxi, look! Xiaoying has caught the big beetle.”
The little girl Xiaoying, who was digging at the bushes in front with her little head buried in her head, suddenly grabbed a dark thing from the tree trunk next to her, and excitedly waved it towards the back.
The insect is covered in shiny dark horny armor, and has very long horns on its head. The ends of the horns form double-forked horns, making it look very fierce.
Lucky girl, the first insect that little girl caught was the unicorn fairy.
There are not many unicorns distributed in South Korea. They are mainly concentrated in Jeju Island. Being able to catch unicorns here can be said to be extremely lucky for Xiaoying.
Although the unicorn looks powerful, it has a gentle personality. Xiaoying girl held it in her hand and shook it for a long time. She was probably knocked unconscious and even forgot to struggle.
Lin Cheng praised, "Xiaoying is so awesome. Such a big unicorn can be sold for a lot of money."
Xiaoying retracted her little hand warily: "Xiaoying caught the big beetle and is not allowed to sell it."
“I know! Put it in a bottle first, and Xiaoying can take it back to show off to her friends.”
The unicorn has an overly gentle personality, so it would be good to keep as a pet for children. However, in Lin Cheng’s impression, only little boys like to raise insects, and not many girls are interested in insects.
For example, Lin Cheng was inexplicably interested in moving things when he was a child. When he was in kindergarten, he even put a frog in his schoolbag and took him to school.
Just when the teacher was in class, the frog came out of Lin Cheng's bag, causing a lot of excitement in the class.
“Enxi, help Xiaoying hold it. Xiaoying will help you catch a big beetle and bring it back.”
Xiaoying handed the glass bottle containing the rhinoceros to Enxi, then turned around and continued to search the tree trunk excitedly.
The little girl Enxi looked at the unicorn in the bottle curiously. She didn’t know why her friend liked this scary-looking insect.
Lin Cheng did not relax and continued to monitor every move of the two little girls.
Especially Xiaoying.
Xiaoying is the kind of silly and bold supporting character in disaster movies who is the first to receive a meal when the zombies arrive.
Sure enough, Lin Cheng’s hunch was right.
Xiaoying and her girl searched for a long time and then they found the second big longhorned beetle, shouting loudly.
But this time what she found was not a unicorn fairy, but a stag beetle.
In Lin Cheng’s hometown dialect, the stag beetle is a pincer beetle. Its oversized jaws extend from the top of its head like a pair of iron pincers.
This thing is different from the unicorn beetle. The stag beetle is very aggressive, and Xiaoying wanted to catch it with her hands.
Fortunately, Lin Cheng reacted quickly and picked up Xiaoying. Otherwise, no matter how strong the little girl was, she would have been pinched and cried by the big pliers of the stag beetle.
“Uncle, let me go, the big beetle is going to run away!”
Xiaoying was picked up by Lin Cheng, and she shook her short legs in dissatisfaction.
In the little girl's mouth, all insects covered with armor are longhorned beetles, and she doesn't care about the difference between longhorned beetles, stag beetles, and rhinoceros beetles.
“Xiaoying, listen to my uncle, this is not a giant longhorned beetle. This insect will bite people. How about we not catch this one?”
“Uncle, you lied to me. The big beetle won’t bite. Uncle, you lied to me!”
"How could uncle lie to you? Uncle is..."
Xiaoying struggled stubbornly: "You are just lying. I want to catch the big longhorned beetle for Enxi."
Lin Cheng was so angry that he couldn't bear to be cheated on by a little girl.
“Uncle, I’m not lying. If you don’t believe me, just look at it.”
Putting Xiaoying on the ground, Lin Cheng pinched the armor on both sides of the spade armor with his right hand and stretched his left index finger into the middle of the giant pliers.
The stag armor was not hesitant, and immediately closed the pliers and clamped Lin Cheng's fingers.
“Hey, Xiaoying, look, did uncle lie to you? This thing is really good at trapping people.”
Xiaoying shrank her neck in fright.
Uncle didn’t lie, this insect can bite people as expected.
“Mom! Uncle was bitten by a giant longhorned beetle! Come and save uncle.”
Enxi shouted nervously at her mother who was approaching her. She looked anxious, as if Lin Cheng was about to die.
Han Shuyan and Zheng Shiyan were speechless when they saw Lin Cheng's unique words and deeds.
In order to prove that the bug bites people, she deliberately bites the bug with her hand. What if Xiaoying doesn't believe that tigers can eat people?
“How old are you! Why are you still acting like a child?”
Han Shuyan couldn’t help but complain and felt a little distressed.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a little painful and not even bleeding.”
Lin Cheng chuckled, winked at Xiaoying, and took out his index finger from under the stag beetle's pliers.
The shape of the pliers of the stag beetle is a bit special. Only the tip part has an inward bite shape, and the bottom cannot fit even when the pliers are closed tightly.
Lin Cheng deliberately placed his fingers at the bottom of the pliers, which was equivalent to being squeezed, and the skin would not be pricked at all. Lin Cheng often used this trick to tease people when he was a child.
Although it hurt a little, at least it proved to Xiaoying that she was not lying.
“Uncle, I’ll give you a blow on Enxi and it won’t hurt anymore.”
The little girl puffed up her cheeks thoughtfully and blew hard into Lin Cheng's fingers.
“Hey! The pain doesn’t go away when Enxi blows it, but Enxi still feels sorry for her uncle.”
Feeling Enxi's concern, Lin Cheng couldn't stop being happy.
Looking at Lin Cheng's careless look, Han Shuyan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
This guy may really not grow up.
Zheng Shiyan is a little jealous.
Her little cotton-padded jacket is about to be worn by someone else.
