Love lasts a lifetime

He Yu's mother has been worried about whether He Yu will do any training when he returns to school. She especially said to Xiaoqian:

"You don't know that He Yu has been very courageous since he was a child. He is a very strong-willed person who is not afraid of anything. I am very worried about him going to study outside, so I have to tell you in every possible way to help Auntie control him more strictly.

Auntie will tell you another story, and you will know how courageous he is.

When he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, he loved to play with crickets.

After the corn harvest, he and a few friends often ran to the corn field at Nanda Zha by the Nanpan River. They opened the corn stalks that had been dumped in the ground and tied them into balls, and they opened them and caught many crickets. He kept the crickets in a bamboo cage.

He also used a small basin, put some sand in it, then sprinkled it with wheat and poured water.

Within a few days, wheat sprouts appeared, so he put crickets in to let them roam."

"Crickets are placed in wheat germ filled with sand and must be lifted out at night to keep them in good spirits."He Yu added

"He goes home from school every day and puts down his schoolbag. He doesn't care about anything else except teasing crickets with a small bamboo stick tied with a few hard dog hairs.

The crickets chirped very pleasantly because of his teasing. He was almost fascinated by the chirping of the crickets, and sometimes he even forgot to eat.

On Saturday, he went to fight with other people's crickets, but was defeated by other people's crickets. When he came back, he was pessimistic, disappointed and very discouraged. It was as if he had been defeated by others.

He Yu said:"Those crickets are all useless, I got angry and let them all go.""

"Since they were caught from far away, why are you willing to let them go? What a pity!"Xiaoqian said

"That is, his father yelled at him,"Since you worked so hard to catch it, you should keep it well." ’ But he said, ‘They are all prodigal sons. They are not angry at all. They have completely disgraced his old face and left thorns in his eyes. 'He Yu's mother said.

Later, he heard that there was a cricket that chirped very loudly every night in the Hong family graveyard next to the vegetable field by the river two miles away from our house. Although the tomb is on the river ridge by the city. But at night, the sounds of howling ghosts and wolves were so terrifying that no one dared to pass by, let alone catch crickets in the tombs.

But he's not afraid, he only dreams about catching that cricket," He Yu's mother said. He Yu continued,"What's there to be afraid of? People say that ghosts often scream there, but I don't believe it. There are no ghosts in the world at all.

After dark, under the illumination of the moon, I boldly sneaked into the grave mound alone. I was so happy when I heard the loud chirping of crickets that I had never heard before.

I touched it gently, and suddenly some kind of monster sprang out from the grass on the grave. It ran away with a scream, which scared me into a cold sweat. I fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the sound of the crickets disappeared.

I thought; are there really ghosts? Why can't I see anything but a scream?

No!

Where is the ghost from?

I heard adults say that ghosts will come and haunt people's bodies, but nothing was seen and they ran away.

I wanted to leave the grave quickly, but if it was really a ghost, it would cost me my life.

Just when I got up to leave, the loud and clear chirping of the crickets fascinated me again.

At this time, I only thought about the cricket and didn't care about anything else, whether it was a ghost or not.

I slowly touched it again, and after seeing it clearly, I swooped over and caught it.

I was so excited that I ran home with it.

I carefully put it into the malt basin and lifted it under the light. The cricket's body was bright yellow, and the two butterfly spots on its wings were dangling. It is about two times as big as an average cricket. I immediately jumped up happily and said,"I have captured Marshal Huang. He grew up in a grave. He can completely dominate the entire Yiliang City."

His father came over and said,"When I heard that it was the Hong family , If he caught something on the grave, he was told to take it outside and let it go as soon as possible. It was a ghost. If he kept it at home, it would bring disaster. He just refused. He also said that there were no ghosts in the world and he never I believe it."

He Yu continued:"Why is it a ghost? This is the Cricket Prince, a rare thing in the world. I have made a fortune!" He Yu jumped up as he spoke.

He Yu continued:"On Saturday, I carried my 'Huang Yuan Shuai' to the east gate outfield to fight with other people's crickets.

Everyone saw my cricket and heard that it was caught in a graveyard. They were all shocked! Some didn't dare to put it in to fight with it.

Some insisted on fighting it before putting his cricket in. I saw my burly 'Huang Yuanshuai' with his hind legs. With a kick, a flutter of wings, a lift of the head, an opening of the mouth, and a loud cry, they scared away their crickets.

One cricket boss didn't believe it and put his ace cricket in. Although they fought for two But my 'Huang Marshal' bit his leg off with two mouths.

He was so angry that he almost went crazy, and his face turned pale.

He said that his crickets were worth tens of thousands of yuan, and he threatened me to use my 'Huang Shuai' The marshal paid him compensation.

However, there are rules in the cricket game. Even if you fight to the death on the spot, you will not bear any responsibility.

Everyone accused him of not knowing the rules, wanting to bully the children, and playing with crickets, so he had to leave with his tail between his legs."

Suddenly, my 'Marshal Huang' became famous throughout Yiliang City."

His father said:"When he came back, he was like a victorious general who had won a battle. He was so happy that he didn't sleep all night."

His mother said,"People kept coming the next day and offered high prices to buy his crickets. He Yu was determined not to sell them. There was a cricket boss from Kunming who offered 30,000 yuan to buy his crickets. It was the liberation of China at that time. In the early days, ten thousand yuan was equivalent to one yuan now. When we heard this, we were shocked and couldn’t believe it! Thirty thousand yuan can buy a horse.

I asked the boss if it was true or false?

The boss said it was true. You can pay in cash. I quickly agreed.

But He Yu refused to sell. After repeated persuasion with his father, I told him that his father had a large debt from the pig business. His grandfather passed away and had no money. The coffin was packed and kept at home for more than ten days. Later, he borrowed money to bury it. Now he couldn't pay back the debt. After hearing this, he reluctantly agreed to sell his 'Huang Yuanshuai'"

"After I sold my 'Huang Yuan Shuai', my family's debt was paid off, but I was so angry that I couldn't sleep for a few days. In my dreams, I dreamed that my 'Huang Yuan Shuai' was flapping its wings and making a loud and clear cry."He Yu said.

Xiaoqian said:

"You are so extraordinary. You can make a lot of money to pay off your parents' debts at a young age, and you are the mainstay of the family in just two days."

It's true: catching crickets on graves at night is so brave without fear of ghosts.

‘Although Marshal Huang sold the price at a high price,

He Yu was very angry.
