This is the north and south road to the west of the village. The whole road is covered with soil and is not wide. The three little girls are standing next to the grass on the roadside, looking down at something on the ground with their heads down.

Fang Yanran squatted, Shen Mo and Wang Ke were both standing. Shen Mo lowered his head, Wang Ke bent down, staring at the unknown thing on the ground, while looking back at Fang Chang'an from time to time. Seeing him approaching, his expression obviously became much more stable.

"This is……"

"hedgehog?"

The three girls were a little uncertain. Fang Chang'an had seen a gray "tuan" in the gap between them. A gray thorn formed a ball. He walked over and took a look and said, "It's a hedgehog... why did he run away from the side of the road?"

"I don't know." Fang Yanran shook her head.

Shen Mo originally stood at the farthest. When Fang Changan heard that it was a hedgehog, his legs moved alternately and quietly retreated a few centimeters back. He seemed to subconsciously ask Fang Changan. After opening his mouth, he closed it again, and then turned his head to ask Wang Ke: "Will it stab us?"

"Probably not?"

Wang Ke was not sure, so he subconsciously comforted Shen Mo, then turned to look at Fang Chang'an and looked for comfort from him.

"You scare people like this, and it will only shrink into a ball."

Fang Chang'an pointed to the hedgehog ball that was curled into a ball on the ground and smiled: "I just want to avoid being hurt, and I have no intention of actively attacking people. Just like me, how kind?"

"whispering sound!"

Wang Ke, Shen Mo, and Fang Yanran expressed disdain for his words one after another.

Shen Mo also squatted down like Fang Yanran, shone with a flashlight, staring at the poor hedgehog very seriously, as if he wanted to pull it up with his hands and study it carefully, as if he was curious about the baby.

"Are we going to take it away?"

Shen Mo probably felt that the "punishment" to Fang Chang'an was enough, so he did not deliberately ignore him, and squatted on the ground and raised his head to ask him.

"It's useless to catch it, and I won't eat it."

Shen Mo blinked his eyes and said, "You can raise it."

Fang Changan laughed and said, "Can you raise it?"

Shen Mo bulged his cheeks and placed his chin on his arms. His tone sounded a little happy and satisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "This is the first time I have seen a hedgehog... Is it really full of thorns?"

Wang Ke sniffed his nose, slapped his palm twice, and asked, "Did you smell it? There is a bit of a fishy smell?"

Fang Yanran nodded vigorously and said, "I just smelled it."

“Is it wild?”

Shen Mo looked very understandable and placed the tea pots containing the cicada next to him, hugged his knees and squatted on the ground, as if he was admiring some artwork. "Where is its head? Why can't I see it?"

Wang Ke also squatted down and looked at it with his body tilted, "I didn't see it either."

"It seems like here, below..."

Fang Yanran pointed with her finger, but she didn't dare to get her fingers close. Shen Mo and Wang Ke both came over and kept a distance to observe, but still couldn't find it.

Fang Chang'an said: "Okay, okay, don't scare people here, go."

Shen Mo pointed to the hedgehog and asked, "What should he do?"

"It will naturally run away when we leave."

Fang Chang'an smiled and urged, "Do you think it can feel your kindness? What they are afraid of is that we stew it. I guess they are praying in their hearts that the heavens will let these terrible creatures get out of here."

"Then behave, run away quickly, we'll leave now..."

Shen Mo stretched out a hand and held it high in the air, stroking the hedgehog ball on the ground from a distance of more than half a meter, "I'm sorry, I scared you..."

Seeing her say this, Fang Yanran couldn't help but laugh. Wang Ke stood up and said, "Okay, let's go, don't scare others anymore."

"Um."

Shen Mo picked up his jar and stood up, and Fang Yanran also stood up.

Fang Changan held up the flashlight and continued walking forward. The three girls were still rubbing behind, turning back and illuminating the light from time to time.

"Hey!"

After walking a long way, Shen Mo suddenly lowered his voice and said in surprise, "It's moving, it's moving."

Fang Changan followed and saw the flashlights of several girls shining out several misty beams of light in the dark night, intertwining on the ground. The little hedgehog who was watching just now turned into a black shadow and quickly rushed into the grass next to him.

I don’t know if my legs were too short or I ran too fast, but during this process, Fang Changan didn’t even see its legs.

Shen Mo even slapped the grass for a few more times, but no trace of the hedgehog was found. So he turned around and asked Fang Yanran and Wang Ke: "Did you see what she looks like?"

Wang Ke shook his head and Fang Yanran said, "I have seen it, but it's not this one. I have seen it before. It looks a bit like a mouse, and a bit like a pig, and it's just a long nose..."

She gestured on her nose with her hands and described the appearance of a hedgehog she had seen to her two sisters.

"Have you seen it before?"

"An, I have caught my second brother before, and I have kept it for a while, but I haven't raised it. It's almost dead, so we let it go..."

"Let's go."

The three girls were chattering, and Fang Chang'an urged him to continue walking forward because he didn't catch any of them until now and walked a distance. Only then did he realize that he had one there just "suspectedly", but he was too lazy to walk back.

“There is one here…”

Fang Chang'an only searched the left side and left the three of them on the right side. As soon as he took a few steps, he heard Wang Ke shouting from behind. He turned around and saw that she had indeed picked one from the lower position of the tree trunk.

Then Fang Yanran also found another one, but found it from a tree he had just searched for, but it was on a slightly lower position.

"Brother, haven't you taken it? Why didn't you find it?"

Fang Yanran put the golden cicada in her bottle, and at the same time she did not forget to insert a knife into her elder brother's face.

"I gave it to you on purpose."

"whispering sound."

As they walked and stopped, the three girls had "income". Shen Mo captured two of them, but Fang Chang'an still got nothing. The three girls who did not care about this matter noticed this and began to tease him.

Shen Mo and Wang Ke also knew to save some face for him, but Fang Yanran did not have the awareness of giving some face to his elder brother in front of his sister-in-law. When he caught one, he wanted to show off his elder brother, or ask, "Brother, why haven't you caught it yet?"

"You are not afraid of having a good meal, you are not afraid of being slow when you say good words, do you understand?"

Fang Yanran said: "I don't understand."

Wang Ke said: "But you didn't catch any of them."

Shen Mo said: "That's right, you didn't catch any of them."

Fang Changan didn't want to talk anymore, so he continued to look for his first one, and walked all the way to the road leading to the town next to Henan. He couldn't find it. Instead, Fang Yanran caught another one.

In order to increase the probability of catching it, he took a few steps forward and seized the initiative. He lit up the trees on both sides and finally saw a poplar tree on the edge of the ditch in the west of the road.

He has seen the world, and of course he would not scream like Shen Mo. He calmed down and pinched the lucky cicada and picked it off the tree with a little force.

At the same time, Wang Ke heard a scream of "Ah", "Brother Chang'an..."

Fang Changan was shocked by the scream. The golden cicada that had just been picked fell down without holding it firmly. He didn't bother to look for it. He quickly looked back and saw Wang Ke quickly retreating from a tree, shouting: "Snake! There is a snake..."

"Brother Chang'an~"

"Brother!"

Shen Mo and Fang Yanran also shouted.

Fang Chang'an hurriedly said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

He hurriedly shone the flashlight, but did not see the snake, but only saw the grass shaking with a small amplitude, winding all the way towards him.

Fang Chang'an calmed down, Shen Mo, Wang Ke, and Fang Yanran also shone the lights. At the same time, two dazzling lights were also shining in the direction of the bridge to the north. He finally saw a green snake swimming quickly towards him in the grass ahead.

This green snake is not big, it is only the thickness of a little finger, about twenty or thirty centimeters long, and it looks very "tender".

"Brother Chang'an~"

"It's going to you..."

"careful!"

Although he knew that the snake was non-venomous, Fang Changan was still a little nervous when he watched it rush towards him quickly and hurriedly hid to the side.

The little green snake seemed to be frightened by the "grass-beating". It hurriedly changed directions, twisted its body, and fled eastward.

There were dry ditches on both sides of the road and lush weeds. It quickly climbed along the grass to the road, but at this time, the two headlights coming from the town were approaching.

The two beams of lights in the dark were too dazzling, and I couldn't see what kind of car it was. I could only see a car with a fast speed. People in the car must have seen Fang Changan and the others, but there was a high probability that they did not see a snake on the road, and even if they saw it, they might not slow down.

According to the trajectory, the frightened little green snake will undoubtedly be killed by wheels on the road. This is not uncommon on rural roads. You can often see a flat frog, snake and other animals "specimens".

Wang Ke shouted: "It's going to be killed!"

"Run! Run!"

Shen Mo was so nervous that there was a golden cicada in his jar. He grabbed the jar and swayed, as if he wanted to cheer for the little green snake.

"Run, run!"

Fang Yanran was also shouting, completely forgetting that she was so scared by this little green snake that she was screaming and screaming.

The little green snake didn't know whether it had received a verbal reminder from the three girls or noticed the danger. Seeing that the wheels had already reached it, its slender body suddenly folded without warning, and its head was thrown to the snake's tail, and its whole body was folded in half.

The wheels ran over less than two centimeters next to its body in the next second.

"Wow--"

Several girls exclaimed in unison.
