I can hardly see fireflies in the city anymore, and it's summer time for my body | monkeys | fireflies
Suddenly, I heard the long lost cicada chirping, stirring up the already hot summer even more fervently. The sound of cicadas evoking the scene of catching cicadas in my childhood. At that time, the weather seemed particularly hot, and I often hid from my family and friends by soaking in the pond all day. There are many interesting things in childhood, especially catching cicadas and fireflies. Every time I think of them, they are always so sweet. The village in my hometown is not big, with dozens of scattered households, so there are many trees that are often used to hide and seek cats. In particular, the tall wutong tree has become a favorite stage for cicadas. The sound of cicadas echoes like a passionate symphony in the small village. These tireless "singers" come together to form a choir, and as long as one cicada starts a tune, cicadas from all directions will sing along. They either harmonize or sing in unison, with a natural and pure tone, without any hint of affectation. Listen attentively, with a high tone accompanied by a gentle tone, and a passionate tone accompanied by a low murmur. I used to love catching cicadas when I was a child, and I never tire of it. I make a circle with bamboo thread, insert it at the front end of the bamboo pole, stick layers of spider webs under the eaves, and then remove the cicada. Spider webs need to have sufficient viscosity, otherwise cicadas will escape, so prepare the webs before the sun rises. Sometimes climbing trees and catching cicadas with friends can be quite challenging. The body color of cicadas is similar to that of tree bark, and they are also covered by leaves, making them difficult to detect. We walked lightly to the tree and searched carefully with our eyes. Some cicadas are at the height of trees and cannot get up at all. When we find cicadas that can be caught, we send tree climbers to climb them, their agile bodies jumping up like monkeys. But cicadas are smarter and fly away before you get close. Sometimes lucky enough to catch it, cut off its thin cicada wings, and everyone played with it crawling on the ground, having a great time. As I grow older, I also read more books. Knowing that true cicada chirping comes from male cicadas, which make loud sounds by vibrating the eardrum in their abdomen. After hearing the male cicada's true confession, the female cicada went on a beautiful date. After mating, the male cicada no longer eats, but quietly walks to the end of its life, and the female cicada will also leave after laying eggs. As night falls, perhaps cicadas become tired of their chirping after a day, or they may not want to disturb the sleep of their fellow villagers, and their voices gradually fade away. The insect continued to appear and sang a gentle serenade. At this moment, the firefly began to streak before my eyes. These night elves seem particularly shy, hiding in the hazy moonlight and indulging in pleasure among the deep trees. We arrived at the fields at the village head, where the scorching sun baked the crops, revealing fragrant strands and emitting the scent of soil. Thousands of fireflies are suspended in endless darkness, and the little fireflies flow like little poems. When I was in elementary school, I heard from my teacher that there was an ancient man named Che Yin who worked in the fields during the day. Due to his poor family background, he had no oil to light up the lights. On summer nights, he caught many fireflies and put them in transparent bags made of white cloth, reading under the faint light. I was very moved after hearing this, so I caught some fireflies and put them in a glass bottle to learn how to read. That was just a moment of curiosity, I couldn't read the words clearly. But this inspiring story has illuminated my childhood dreams and inspired me to study hard. In fact, I mostly secretly put a few of them in the mosquito net, turned off the lights, and watched their flickering and sparkling appearance, accompanying me to sleep peacefully. If discovered by adults, it is inevitable to scold them. Nowadays, fireflies can
