As expected, He Fan looked from a distance and saw many small figures clinging to the trees on the hill behind his house.
It¡¯s those cicada monkeys that are common in the countryside!
These cicada monkeys are densely packed, all clinging to the trees, sucking the sap from the tree trunks. This was originally just a common sight in the countryside.
But He Fan was a little surprised when he saw it.
" Nothing else, it's just that there are so many cicada monkeys that He Fan can't even count them.
On an ordinary tree, there are at least dozens of cicada monkeys clinging to them. This is the number of cicada monkeys on the trunk. There are still many invisible cicada monkeys hiding in the crown of the tree.
"Something's wrong. Why do so many cicada monkeys appear all at once?"
Lin Guo and three people on the side also saw the sight of groups of cicada monkeys at this time, and whispered,
Even they can tell that there are too many cicada monkeys!
He Fan also had a look of doubt on his face.
"It's not even the height of summer yet. It's still the turn of spring and summer. These cicada monkeys shouldn't have appeared, and there are so many of them all at once!"
Just when He Fan was confused, his father He Weihai walked out of his yard at this time. He probably heard the noise outside.
Following everyone¡¯s gaze, we forgot about the past on the mountain behind, and saw those densely packed cicada monkeys.
He Weihai suddenly showed a thoughtful look on his face, and then said:
"If we calculate the time, it should be this year, these cicada monkeys. After staying underground for seventeen years, they all popped out at once!"
Seventeen years?
Hearing his father¡¯s words, a species suddenly popped into He Fan¡¯s mind, the seventeen-year cicada!
At this time, the three Lin Guo people on the side also asked after hearing this:
"Uncle He, what the hell, can these cicada monkeys stay down there for seventeen years?"
He Weihai also touched his chin and said:
"Isn't it? These things are out now, and they will have to be played in less than two months. At that time, these guys will have to seize the time to lay eggs and give birth to babies. By then, the babies from the eggs laid by these cicada monkeys will be born again. I have to wait another seventeen years to come out. Even in my life, including this time, I have only encountered it three times."
Hearing what He Weihai said, Lin Guo and the other three were all amazed.
Information about the seventeen-year cicada quickly emerged in He Fan's mind.
The seventeen-year cicada is a kind of periodic cicada. The so-called cicada is what the countryside calls cicada, and the periodic cicada is a special one among all types of cicadas.
Although ordinary cicadas also have to hibernate underground for some years, this time is not fixed.
Some are two years, some are three years, some are four or five years, I¡¯m not sure, it all depends on their mood.
Therefore, in the countryside, you can see the appearance of cicada monkeys every year. These cicada monkeys are those species that have become impatient in hibernating underground and quickly come out to enjoy their short life.
? But this is not necessarily the case for periodic cicadas,
They must hibernate underground for a sufficient period of time before they emerge from the ground, and when the time comes, they will emerge en masse.
If there is no time, they will quietly hibernate underground, enduring darkness and loneliness.
The seventeen-year cicada is a species of periodic cicada.
Seventeen years is the number of years that the eggs of this type of cicada can lie dormant underground. In other words, these cicada eggs will lie dormant underground for a full seventeen years before they can break out.
Except for the seventeen-year cicada and the periodic cicada, the only two remaining species are the thirteen-year cicada.
And according to what Father He said, these cicada monkeys coming out of the back mountain should be the seventeen-year-old cicadas!
Thinking about it, He Fan was still wearing crotchless pants seventeen years ago and was not old enough to climb trees and catch cicadas, so he had no memory of the grand occasion seventeen years ago, but now he has caught up!
In addition to the regular dormancy period, another characteristic of periodic cicadas is that the population size is extremely large!
After all, these seventeen-year-old cicadas will not come out until time is up. They have avoided the hunting of humans and various natural enemies to the greatest extent, and the population can grow steadily!
Like other cicadas, the time when they are unearthed is irregular. They may stay there for two or three years before they can no longer bear the loneliness. As a result, they are preyed upon by some natural enemies or captured by humans. Naturally, the population size will not be too large. many,
So?Although children in the countryside can catch a lot of cicada monkeys every summer, they are not as impressive as the cicadas on the back mountain now!
He Fan looked at this situation and saw that there were densely packed cicada monkeys on the mountain behind. He estimated that the number must be at least tens of millions, and it was estimated that it exceeded hundreds of millions!
But immediately, a look of joy appeared on his face.
Although the number of these cicada monkeys is most likely in the hundreds of millions, if it were other species, it would probably be a disaster by now!
Like the termites before, their overwhelming force is estimated to be about the same as the number of cicada monkeys in front of us, but it has brought considerable harm to Qinghe Village.
Fortunately, it was the super pepper tree catalyzed by the blue lynx that finally calmed down the termite plague.
But these cicada monkeys, no matter how numerous they are, do no harm to humans.
First, these cicada monkeys will not attack humans, are not aggressive, and do no harm to villages and houses. Moreover, these cicada monkeys have been dormant underground for seventeen years. They will definitely be very hungry when they come out. , so they all ran to the back mountain to suck the sap.
The main food of these cicada monkeys is tree sap, so they basically will not go to the houses in human villages. At most, they will live on those trees.
Even if the sap sucked by cicada monkeys does no fatal harm to those trees, it will at most retard their growth and development, but it will not have a fatal effect on those trees.
¡°Besides, there are thousands of trees on the mountain behind my house, and they are also counted in the billions. I¡¯m really not afraid of these cicada monkeys sucking the sap!
In other words, these hundreds of millions of cicada monkeys are simply cute little creatures that are harmless to humans and animals!
The most important thing is the taste of fried cicada monkey, which is a delicacy that country children can¡¯t get enough of.
Even in big cities, fried cicada monkey is a signature dish in some barbecue stalls, and the price is not low!
"Don't be stunned, go up the mountain and catch the cicada monkey!"
He Fan made a quick decision and shouted to Lin Guo and the other two people standing aside,
Lin Guo and the other two people immediately reacted and followed He Fan back to their own yard to raid the guy!
However, Lin Guo and the others looked at He Fan and even brought the big sack with him, and said with confused expressions:
"Brother, let's go up the mountain to hunt these cicada monkeys, get some, fry them and eat them, and that's it. You big bag is really unnecessary!"
"That's right, Brother He, even if we can get this big bag of cicada monkeys, how long will our brothers have to eat them?"
"My brother, Shigeko, has a good appetite, but he doesn't have such a big belly. Can't we just get a small bucket?"
He Fan looked at these three guys and said with disdain:
"You three guys just know how to eat? Do you know the price of these cicada monkeys in the market now?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
