School Grass - William Castle

Chapter 43
"Hey, why do dragonflies touch water with their tails? I've always been curious."

Although, An Yuxi knew that the "xi" that Hua Xiaoyi said was referring to him.

But I still feel a little uncomfortable, especially my brother has been facing him with a sullen face recently.

It made him feel that the relationship between family members was getting more and more depressed.

"Oh, that's because mother dragonfly is going to give birth to a baby."

An Yuxi leaned close to Hua Xiaoyi's ear and said mysteriously that the lotus fragrance frozen on the lake stimulated her nerves again.It made her think wildly again.

"Ah, really? Where is the baby? On the water? I want to see!"

Hua Xiaoyi hurried to the lake and observed carefully.

"Where can I see it, Xi."

An Yuxi came over, hugged her from behind, and breathed lightly: "Let me show you..."

His breath is warm and fragrant, so people can't help being intoxicated.

"Actually, although dragonflies are insects that live on land and soar in the air all day long, their larvae live in water. In order to reproduce, they must choose to lay eggs where there is water. The fertilized eggs must be in the water. They can only hatch in water, so dragonflies use their tails to touch the water to discharge fertilized eggs into the water, and the eggs attach to aquatic plants in the water, and soon hatch larvae, which are called 'water gnats'. At this time, they mainly eat mayflies and the like. Larvae live in the water for a period of time, and when the time is right, they will climb out of the water along the branches of aquatic plants, molt and become dragonflies with wings spread, dancing lightly on the river bank or on the water surface of the pond.”

"Wow, that's how it turned out. I used to know that butterflies evolved from caterpillars, and now I know that dragonflies evolved from water slugs. Hee hee... stay with Xi, there will always be endless learning Things. So, I will always be by your side, okay? Xi, don’t drive me away, okay? No matter, when I get old, how stupid, stupid, or ugly, you are not allowed to drive me away I'll go, okay?"

Hua Xiaoyi squatted by the lake, praying to An Yuxi cautiously.

"Stupid girl, how can the prince just leave the princess and live alone. If one day, the prince has to leave the princess, then he will feel more uncomfortable than the princess. That's why he won't be so stupid."

Hua Xiaoyi looked at An Yuxi moved, and the water vapor in her eyes flickered.

"Xiaoyi, did you see it? There are two dragonflies on the water. Sometimes, the male dragonfly will be the 'midwife'."

An Yuxi pointed to the two dragonflies flying above the water and said.

"Oh? Why do you want to be a midwife?"

Hua Xiaoyi asked again.

"Because, when a female dragonfly lays her baby in the water, the male dragonfly flies above the female dragonfly for fear that his 'wife' will fall into the water, hooks the female dragonfly's head with the tip of his tail, and drags her to give birth on the water surface. egg, so people call the male dragonfly the 'midwife'."

An Yuxi explained it patiently.

"Heck... what a conscientious father Dragonfly."

"Okay. There seem to be a lot of wildflowers ahead. Do you want to go and see them? There are many varieties of wildflowers in different colors."

An Yuxi pointed to the wild flowers blooming enthusiastically in front of him.

In the early winter, those wild flowers exerted all their strength to burst the life in winter.

Life in winter is still amazingly tenacious.

"Wow, really, Xi, your vision is so wide, you can always find things that others can't. It's great. With you, I feel that every day is new and wonderful! Hee hee..."

Hua Xiaoyi is jumping and picking wild flowers of various colors.

"As long as you like it."
