Among the primary school students, Xu Zhuang Zhuang's target was very obvious. After all, he was big, and he had a smug expression on his face, thinking that his actions were secret.
However, Little Celery and Wang Yaning really did not notice him. Most people did not look behind them when they walked. Who would think that someone was following them? What's more, they were just naive primary school students … Well, Wang Yaning's thoughts might be deeper, but her thoughts were mainly used to please the teacher, not to engage in espionage activities.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Xu Zhuang Zhuang did not expect that he was also being followed. Of course, the stalker was Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian saw it clearly. As soon as the bell rang, Xu Zhuang Zhuang rushed out of their classroom like a cannonball. He trotted all the way to Little Celery's classroom and waited for Little Celery to leave the classroom. Then, he quietly followed behind Little Celery. Wang Yaning and Little Celery walking together seemed to be a bit unexpected.
Little Celery and Wang Yaning were walking in the direction of the hamster classroom behind the teaching building. It was one of the places with the most caterpillars in the school. However, they were responsible for taking care of the hamsters, so even if they were afraid, they had to bite the bullet.
Fortunately, they had prepared folding umbrellas. As soon as they walked out of the classroom, the two of them shared an umbrella and used it to cover the caterpillars that might fall on their heads. They also changed into rain boots before leaving the classroom.
Xu Zhuang Zhuang quietly followed behind while looking around. Obviously, he wanted to do something bad to get back at Little Celery for making a fool of him in public. And the method … was nothing more than picking up insects and throwing them at her to scare her. This was also a trick he often used to scare girls.
Zhang Zian saw through his thoughts and immediately quickened his pace. He rushed to the breeding classroom from another route. The distance was a little longer, but he was an adult after all. His pace was fast, and he arrived first.
The trees around the breeding classroom were indeed, as Little Celery had said, many "hanged ghosts."
"Hanged ghost" was the local common name for the larvae of the lantern moth. This larvae would pull long silk threads from the branches and hang themselves in the air. When the wind blew, they would sway slightly. If the wind was strong, they might even be blown to the ground … or on people.
Most of the lantern moth larvae were not poisonous, but a few were.
To be cautious, Zhang Zian carefully observed the area. After all, he did not bring an umbrella, and he did not want the poisonous light moth larvae to land on him.
There were too many "hanged ghosts", so it was impossible for him to see all of them. As far as his eyes could see, the ones here were all black caterpillars covered with long, grayish-white hair. They looked very creepy, but in fact, they were larvae of the giant web moss moth. The hair was not poisonous, and even if it landed on one's body, it would at most make one feel disgusted, unless one had an allergic constitution and their skin might become red and swollen.
The Giant Webworm Moth had wreaked havoc in Kaiping City and Nan 'an City in 2014 and 2017, leaving a very bad memory for the local residents. At that time, the number of people who came to the hospital for dermatitis had increased significantly. This was because the Giant Webworm Moth itself was not poisonous. If it was some kind of poisonous caterpillar, the number of people who came to the hospital because of its stinger would probably be enough to fill up all the local hospitals …
Seeing that it was the larva of the giant webworm moth, Zhang Zian was relieved.
"Yaning, about today's homework …"
Little Celery's voice came from not far away. They were already very close.
Zhang Zian's eyes widened. Ignoring the larva of the giant webworm moth, he carefully searched for other caterpillars.
Soon, he found his target on the leaves of a potted plant.
It was a green caterpillar, covered with light yellow hair. The most conspicuous sign was that there was a small tuft of lavender stinging hair on the eighth abdominal segment of its tail. Such a bright protective color announced to potential predators that it was poisonous.
Although some non-poisonous caterpillars would also grow bright protective colors to deceive their natural enemies, this caterpillar was not like that.
Zhang Zian looked down and picked up a branch from the ground. He picked up the caterpillar from the plant and took it to the back of the breeding classroom.
Little Celery and Wang Yaning appeared. The two of them snuggled together under the umbrella and closed their eyes to a slit. They tried not to look at the "hanging ghosts" and other caterpillars around them as they quickly walked into the breeding classroom.
After a while, Xu Zhuang Zhuang also appeared. He looked around, as if looking for a prop to scare Little Celery.
Zhang Zian took advantage of his inattention and picked up the green caterpillar with purple hair. It landed on the ground a few steps in front of Xu Zhuang Zhuang.
"Huh?"
Its bright color made it difficult for Xu Zhuang Zhuang to ignore its existence. He found it almost immediately.
"This bug seems to be very powerful. It must be able to scare those little girls …" he muttered to himself. He took out toilet paper from his trouser pocket and spread it on his palm, intending to pinch the bug.
Naughty children were naughty children. When they saw two dogs together, they wanted to kick them. When they saw a caterpillar with bright protective colors that even birds would wisely avoid, they did not know how to be afraid. They really forgot the pain once the scar healed.
"Don't go near it!"
Seeing Xu Zhuang Zhuang recklessly approaching the caterpillar, Zhang Zian jumped out from his hiding place and shouted.
Zhang Zian only intended to teach him a lesson. He did not intend to really let him be stung. This caterpillar was the infamous larva of the Velvet Poison Moth. It was very poisonous. Although it could not kill people, the pain was unbearable. Moreover, it was different from the Western Chili in that its fluff would actively shoot at the enemy when it encountered danger. Even if you just got close to it, you would be attacked.
"Who?"
Xu Zhuang Zhuang was shocked and involuntarily took two steps back.
When he saw that it was Zhang Zian, his eyes widened and he shouted, "You … Why are you here? Who let you into our school? I … I'm going to tell the teacher! "
As he shouted, Little Celery and Wang Yaning, who were in the breeding classroom, heard the noise and ran out to check the situation.
"Ah! Brother Store Manager, you're here! "
Little Celery was so happy that she wanted to run over, but she did not have an umbrella. Wang Yaning stopped her, and Zhang Zian waved his hand to stop her from coming over.
Wang Yaning's little face was very tense, like a little adult. She first looked at Zhang Zian, then glanced at Xu Zhuang Zhuang, and finally raised her hand to point at the latter. "You are Xu Zhuang Zhuang, right? What are you doing here? You don't seem to be a member of the hamster breeding team, do you? "
"I … I think this man is suspicious. He probably sneaked into our school. He has been following the two of you. Maybe he wants to do something bad, so I followed him. If he really wants to do something bad, I will stop him!"
Xu Zhuang Zhuang was desperate and made up a set of excuses on the spot.
Unfortunately, Wang Yaning was not Little Celery. She was not so easy to fool.
