Chapter 1035 The Exquisiteness of Fighting Crickets (for Subscription)

"However... the great heat and the cricket are really suitable for the occasion. Otherwise, let's look for this cricket and let you take a look at what this cricket looks like."

Li Yuan knew that even if he said he had never seen a cricket, he might not have seen it, but it might be because he rarely had contact with it, so even if he saw it, he didn't know what kind of bug it was.

But to say that this cricket is one of the three major songbirds, it is indeed quite famous. It would be a pity if you don't know what a cricket looks like.

With that said, Li Yuan put down his hoe and really helped everyone find the chirping cricket.

Li Yuan listened to the voice and carefully identified it. "The sound seems to be coming from the corner of the wall. Crickets generally like dark places. Let's go there first and have a look."

Because the cricket doesn't call all the time, Li Yuan can only look for it when it calls.

But what Li Yuan didn't expect was that he thought it might take some effort to find the cricket, but what he didn't expect was that the cat's cricket in the corner would be discovered by Li Yuan so quickly.

Li Yuan tiptoed towards the corner, the camera zoomed in, and sure enough, he saw a cricket not much bigger than a fingernail.

The whole body of the cricket is dark brown, with a big head, it should be a bear.

On the top of the cricket's head forward, it protrudes like a semicircle, and even looks like a triangular protrusion. The wings are closed together, so the color cannot be seen, but the hind wings can be seen to be light gray.

As Li Yuan said, it was indeed a small cricket.

Looking at the cricket's appearance, Li Yuan recognized at a glance that it was a common coffin-headed cricket.

"This is a small coffin-head cricket. You can see that its body and tail are like the head of a coffin, so it got its name. This kind of cricket is not a good breed, but this kind of cricket is somewhat magical. If you catch a lot of crickets, as long as there is one coffin-headed cricket in it, all the crickets will stop fighting.

Studio.

"Why is this?"

"Don't say it, there really is such a saying."

"That's right, that's right, it's true, I've heard it said about playing with crickets."

"This cricket is not a good breed? I think it looks quite big?"

"Is this a cricket? I feel like I've seen it before? This thing... looks so ugly."

"This name is really special."

"From what the anchor said, I feel that there are many ways in this cricket."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

"That's true. Crickets, oil gourds, and grasshoppers. These three are the three big songbirds. Among the three big songbirds, the one who plays the best, the most exciting, and the most culturally appealing is the cricket."

"And the way of fighting crickets is from ancient times to the present."

"However, the ancients paid attention to three realms when playing crickets. The first realm is called 'paying attention to things'. The most typical representative of this is Jia Sidao, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, who actually lost his country by playing with insects."

"The second state is called 'gambling with entertainment'. To put it bluntly, it is to use cricket fighting as a means of gambling. The third state is called 'implication in things'. Of course, this is also the highest state of playing crickets. What the literati and scholars did."

"So according to this calculation, the game of fighting crickets has a history of thousands of years. After so many years of research, everyone's research on crickets is naturally very thorough."

Studio.

"I didn't expect this cricket culture to last for so many years."

"This cricket...what's so aggressive about it?"

"Yeah, I don't understand either. Watching a cricket fight is not as good as a bullfight. What's the point of two little things?"

"I feel pretty good, the bullfight is too bloody."

"So how do you win a cricket fight? Is it also a fight?"

Li Yuan explained with a smile: "Actually, this cricket fight was only a folk game in the Tang Dynasty at first, and it was not formal, so the rules of the game were very simple at that time. It was to put two crickets to fight each other, and whichever was left would count." Is to win."

"However, as this game became more and more popular later, in the Song Dynasty, it began to have a certain pattern. At that time, the children of rich families even spent a lot of money just to find a fighting cricket."

"With the evolution, the rules of fighting crickets are now quite particular."

To talk about the rules of fighting crickets, one should look at the size, the second the species, and the third the cricket's daily diet and habitation.

The size of the fighting crickets has a certain degree of attention. Only equal crickets stay together, and the species are also the same.But of course, there are also some PKs between random and unequal varieties, and the number is quite a lot.

As for the cricket's diet, there are actually a lot of particulars, especially for the place where the cricket lives, it is very important.

Generally, crickets live in gourd jars, and those with a sense of history, especially those made by masters, are even more expensive.

But having said that, this kind of gourd jar is naturally expensive. Compared with other containers, gourd jars are obviously more suitable for the survival and maintenance of crickets.

As for the rules of cricket fighting in ancient times, it is actually not complicated, and it is usually carried out in pottery cricket pots.

When the organizer indicated the start, both players poured out their precious crickets at the same time, and placed them in a porcelain with a certain height of walls and space.

At this time, the game is considered to have begun.

There are generally three situations in the game's winning and losing rules. Some will be stalemate once the battle starts, some will end soon, and some will escape suddenly.

The general rule is that whenever a cricket is killed, its leg is bitten off, or it flees without fighting, it is considered a loser.

However, the cricket fights are generally very intense, and the two crickets will not directly come up to start a duel, but will first flap their wings and chirp violently to cheer themselves up and destroy the opponent's prestige.

After yelling for a while, they grinned and began to duel.

There are many ways for crickets to fight, such as using the top of the head, kicking with the feet, or rolling the long tentacles, constantly rotating the body, looking for a favorable position, and culling bravely.

After a few rounds, the weak lose their heads and lose the battle, while the winners raise their heads high and hold their toes high, asking for credit and reward from the master.

In order to make their cricket win, some breeders even give it some chili before playing.But of course, this method has an impact on the lifespan of crickets, and generally good varieties of crickets are reluctant.

"That sounds interesting!"

"I really want to see with my own eyes what a cricket fight is like."

"What's the point of listening, it's really enjoyable to watch!"

"No, it's really exciting to watch the cricket fight with your own eyes. If you don't know that link, you will be weak to prevent the Jedi from counterattacking!"

"Didn't the anchor say that this cricket is not a good breed? Then what kind of cricket is best for fighting crickets?"
