Chapter 20 Chong Chong is so cute...a fart 20
In fact, it is not a problem for Huanyan to deal with the praying mantis alone, but if there are too many praying mantises in the future, it will be a bit troublesome to deal with.

More importantly, she needs to pick fruits, so she can't concentrate on dealing with the mantis, and she is easily attacked by surprise.

With Xia Tuo here, such situations can be minimized.

Not only do you have an extra pair of eyes to help you keep an eye on the surrounding situation, but Xia Tuo can also assist her in time when there is a crisis.

Since someone can help, Huanyan doesn't want to make herself so tired.

Seeing Huanyan's rarely obedient appearance, Xia Tuo unconsciously softened his expression.

Well, when this girl is not angry with him, she is quite cute.

Huanyan didn't notice the change in Xia Tuo's expression. She turned her head and asked the others: "Does any of you have plastic bags or something? It's convenient for me to pack fruit later. By the way, give me paper towels or gloves too." use."

"I have a plastic bag and gloves." Bai Tingting walked towards Huanyan, and took out a neatly folded plastic bag and a pair of disposable plastic gloves from the pocket of her sports coat.

She originally planned to go to the supermarket to buy some snacks and go home. In order to save money on plastic bags, she brought a bag from home.

Before going to the supermarket, she found a restaurant to eat, and the tableware came with a pair of such plastic gloves, which she put in her pocket by the way.

As a result, I didn't expect that when I came out of the restaurant, I would suddenly appear in such a place when I was crossing the road.

She knew she couldn't fight those big bugs, but if she could do the logistics well, she would do her best to help.

"Then you take this." Huanyan handed the remaining mouthpiece to Bai Tingting, and she put on a pair of plastic gloves and wrapped her somewhat dirty hands before taking the plastic bag away. .

Bai Tingting showed a look of surprise, she looked at Huanyan uncertainly: "You... are you going to give me this thing?"

"That's right," Huan Yan nodded, her tone casual, "Just so you can watch Brother Wang with Hong Wei."

"Then if another praying mantis appears later, what will you do?" Bai Tingting asked uneasy.

Although she wanted a weapon very much, she didn't want to be so selfish and disregard other people's lives.

What's more, this weapon is originally a joyful face.

"Didn't I have a new weapon?" Huanyan raised the mantis scythe that she didn't throw away, and showed it to Bai Tingting, "It's inconvenient to move around with so many weapons, so I'll give you this mouthpiece." .”

It was only then that Bai Tingting noticed that the mantis scythe was very sharp, and it was indeed a good weapon.

She was relieved and happily accepted the mouthparts.

Huanyan and Xia Tuo walked towards the woods again.

The corpse of the praying mantis was still lying on the edge of the woods, and she stepped forward happily and picked up another mantis scythe.

"Here," she handed one of the mantis scythes to Xia Tuo, "in case something approaches you later, you can fight back with this."

"Okay." Xia Tuo did not shirk, and accepted the mantis sickle.

He sat upright, with a dignified look.

Seeing this, Huanyan couldn't help but burst out laughing, and she asked very curiously, "Are you tired from carrying it like this?"

Although she hasn't been in contact with Xia Tuo for a long time, she also knows that Xia Tuo's image of a cold and steady boss is just pretending.

Although Xia Tuo's appearance fits this image very well, it's no problem to deceive unfamiliar people, but she has already seen his appearance under the mask.

Even if what she saw was only the tip of his iceberg, at least she can be sure that he is not what he appears to be on the surface, but he still maintains the image of a big boss in front of her...

At this time, she couldn't help but think of the way he gritted his teeth before. The sense of disobedience was so strong that she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Xia Tuo: "..." I'm not angry, I can hold on!

He took a deep breath silently, and told himself secretly that a mature man would not care about a little girl who seemed to have just grown up.

He didn't need to care about what a little girl said at all.

The self-suggestion soon took effect, and Xia Tuo said to Huanyan calmly, "Don't waste your time, staying here for a long time is not a good thing."

Seeing that Xia Tuo still looked the same, Huanyan didn't say anything else.

Since people are not tired of carrying it, then she should cooperate.

She went to the nearest apple tree and took a look. She found that there were a lot of apples on this tree. Although each apple was only half the size of her palm, there were many good ripe fruits. , Enough for two meals for five people.

This saves her from going into the woods again, which is safer.

Huanyan tied the skirt between her legs, making it look like knickerbockers, then she climbed neatly up the apple tree and started picking apples.

She packed all the ripe apples that hadn't been eaten by moths into plastic bags and didn't jump off the tree until the bags were full.

During the whole process, not a single praying mantis appeared.

"The mantis has a strong sense of territory," Xia Tuo seemed to guess what Huanyan was thinking. He glanced into the depths of the forest and said, "The area occupied by such a large mantis should be larger than that of ordinary mantises. Maybe other areas The praying mantis has not had time to discover the anomaly here."

"Then at least one site should have two praying mantises, male and female?" Huan Yan showed a puzzled look, "Why only one?"

"It might be eaten." Xia Tuo said without changing his expression, "The female praying mantis will eat the male praying mantis after conception to add enough nutrition for herself to lay eggs. It is autumn now, and the mantis usually starts in early and mid-September. Laying eggs, calculating the time, the male praying mantis should have been eaten for a while."

"So that's the case, then the habits of this praying mantis are quite interesting." Huanyan looked like a curious baby who had received new knowledge, and finally, she became happy again, "That's just right, we can take a rest here first, don't be in a hurry On our way."

She returned to the side of the road with a bag of apples and told the others the good news.

"That's great." Zhang Jian sat down on the spot, and his body relaxed, "I didn't have a good rest last night, and I started to rush at dawn today. I'm already too tired."

After all, he is a bit older, not as energetic as these young people.

Before, he was afraid of dragging the team's hind legs, so he held back and didn't say anything. Now that he can rest, he doesn't have to hold back anymore.

"The habits of mantises are really cruel." Bai Tingting couldn't help sighing.

Other than that, she didn't say much.

After all, it doesn't have much to do with her that mantises eat each other, she just needs to ensure that she doesn't get eaten.
