The sound of cicadas is the most powerful statement of summer.
It's another season to catch cicadas and insects.
Yesterday evening, I took a walk with my beloved wife. Suddenly, I saw that in the wide green belt on the side of the road, there were people concentrating on catching cicadas.
Ten years ago, when I bought this house, I was interested in a forest to the south of this house. In particular, there is a tall poplar tree with three magpie nests, and this tree is facing the veranda of the house, standing on the veranda, looking at the forest in front of me, my heart is full of comfort: in the morning the magpie is singing early in the treetops; At noon, I knew the roars of one after another; At night, the male and female frogs crunch and the frogs make a burst of frog sounds. Full of natural sounds.
At night, the sound of frogs is often interrupted by those who have caught it, and the light of a flashlight shines in the forest, and when viewed from the balcony, it looks like the ghost light of the legendary valley.
Sadly, the forest is no longer there. was bought out by China Railway Group at a price of 6 billion, and all of them were eradicated, and a large number of houses were built. From then on, the sound of the sky and the glow of the valley were gone. Regretful.
Speaking of cicadas, it is one of the most magical, mysterious, and weird insects in the world. After the eggs are completely relied on their own strength in this world, they have gone through a dark journey of 3~7 years underground, in exchange for thirty or forty days of life under the sun, in just thirty or forty days, desperately happy, hearty and vigorous, the stronger the sun, the louder and longer the sound of its chirping, until more than 10 o'clock in the evening, they cherish the last 30 days of their lives very much, do not complain, do not compare, do not fear, and finally die quietly. Alas! Great!
There is no insect sound that can convey the breath of summer to the world like the sound of cicadas.
The sound of cicadas is the most powerful statement of summer.
