The most interesting thing is to catch Guo Guo. The sound of the fruit is very nice, revealing its position. Walk slowly and gently pull open the weeds, and you can see the wings of the fruit shaking and calling for weeds. After catching it, put it in a cage made of bamboo or art and hang it under the eaves. Someone has caught it in the past. A dollar a day can also sell dozens.

Cricket is too small to catch easily. On TV, the ancient people's favorite is cricket fighting, and now they have it. Can good crickets sell for a lot of money? After catching the cricket, some of our friends put it in a bottle and watched them fight with each other to see whose cricket was good. If they lose the game, they will find a fierce cricket, and we must fight for it.
