Chapter 1330: Butterfly Transformation

When Zhang Zian was thinking about the problem, Little Celery kept looking up at the swallowtail larva. Judging from her expression, she was both curious and a little afraid of the caterpillar, two different psychology mixed together.

"Brother store manager, why is this bug not moving? Is it dying?" she asked.

"Ok?"

Zhang Zian came back to his senses, and walked to the nearby store door, and stood beside Xiao Celery to watch with her.

Caterpillars move very slowly. After all, they rely on wriggling to move forward. It would be terrifying if they could run as fast as a rabbit.

The swallowtail larva was still slowly crawling on the wall when I saw it yesterday, but today it seems to be frozen, almost motionless. It spent almost a whole day crawling from the prominent position of the glass door to the corner, where it could avoid the strong sunlight from the south at noon, but the morning sun from the east could still shine on it.

You don't need to touch it with your fingers, just by looking at it, you can see that its body is not as soft as yesterday, it seems to have lost a little moisture and become stiff.

Zhang Zian sized it up a bit, and said, "It's not dead, it's just getting ready to enter the next stage of its life."

Little Celery blinked, "Is it... like a silkworm baby?"

"No."

He shook his head, "You're confusing a butterfly with a moth, only the larvae of a moth spin cocoons, but this is just a larva of a swallowtail butterfly, it doesn't cocoon, it just uses a few strands of silk to fix itself in the shade , such as the corner of the wall or the back of the branches and leaves, and then the body slowly hardens to form a chrysalis. In other words, the moth wraps a shell on the outside of the body, and the butterfly turns its body into a shell. To sum it up in the simplest words—— Moths cocoon, butterflies pupate."

Little Celery seemed to understand, trying to imagine the appearance of cocoons and pupae in her mind.

"It doesn't matter. I guess this swallowtail butterfly is going to settle here and prepare to pupate. You can take a look at it every day when you go to school and observe its changing process. Maybe one day a butterfly will come out of the pupa. ’” he said.

Observation is certainly better if it is not observed for the utilitarian purpose of completing the assignment.

"En!" Little Celery nodded vigorously.

"A word that is often mentioned in daily life and in colleges - turning a cocoon into a butterfly is actually wrong. Only moths can only turn into cocoons, and only moths can come out.

Butterflies that can't come out, if it's "turning into a butterfly", it's almost the same, but it doesn't sound as smooth as "turning into a cocoon". Moths are not all disheveled. Some moths are actually more gorgeous and beautiful than butterflies. People mistakenly believe that the ones that emerge from their cocoons are butterflies, so they spread falsehoods. Literature can be tolerated, but in science, one is one, and two is two, so there is no ambiguity. "He further extended.

"Oh... It seems that this knowledge can be written into the composition?" Little Celery had an idea.

"Yes, you can definitely get a good score if you write it in the composition." He smiled, "Your Chinese teacher may not know about this... Ah, are you going to have the final exam soon? If the Chinese composition of the final exam can be freely used , For composition questions like 'an interesting thing', you can write the wrong allusion of 'turning a cocoon into a butterfly', which will definitely refresh the eyes of the marking teacher."

The end of June is the end of primary school exams. Little Celery was originally a hard worker in composition, but in this respect she is far inferior to Wang Yaning. Every time Wang Yaning's composition is read aloud by the teacher as a model essay, Little Celery is very envious. Hearing Zhang Zian's suggestion, she was overjoyed, and now she was already thinking about how to write the composition.

Wang Yaning's composition is superior in literary talent and rhetoric. To put it bluntly, it is a common routine among elementary and middle school students. Although it looks good and reads smoothly, it is forgotten after reading it. If Xiao Celery writes the wrong allusions and errata of "Turning Cocoons into Butterflies", at least it can surpass Wang Yaning in terms of novelty.

Anyway, there is nothing in the store, the shop assistants just came out to watch Xu Zhuangzhuang’s excitement, and before returning, Wang Gan said with emotion: "If I am reborn and go back to elementary school, even if I write this composition, the teacher will definitely suspect it as plagiarism..."

Li Kun agreed: "It's really not like the child who is the last one in Chinese in the class can write it."

"Damn it! You are second to last and have the right to look down on me?" Wang Gan retorted.

"You two get out of the store quickly, don't embarrass me outside." Zhang Zian sent the two bastards back into the store. Listening to their conversation would be detrimental to the image of the store.

The two of them were still reluctant to go back, claiming that the store was too stuffy, and Zhang Zian refused to turn on the air conditioner, so they might as well come out to get some air.

Little Celery was thinking hard about the composition, staring at the swallowtail larva and said: "It's amazing! An ugly caterpillar turns itself into a chrysalis, and after shedding its shell, it emerges and becomes a beautiful butterfly. It's like an ugly duckling turned into a swan!"

Zhang Zian's lips moved, wanting to say something, but he swallowed it back.

"Ah! I'm going to be late! Brother, I'm going to school first! See you tomorrow!" Little Celery looked down at the children's watch on her wrist, exclaimed, and ran away cheerfully waving her hands.

"See you tomorrow! Don't run too fast, and be careful not to fall and break your knee." Zhang Zian also waved goodbye.

The lively and active little Celery has changed into a short-sleeved sweatshirt and shorts. If it weren't for the two trembling braids, she would look like a tomboy from behind.

"Master, what did you want to say just now?" Li Kun observed his words and was keenly aware of Zhang Zian's unfinished words.

"You have sharp eyes!"

Zhang Zian glared at him.

"Tell me, Master, my disciples want to hear it too! Gain some insight!" Wang Gan begged with a deadpan face.

Zhang Zian couldn't resist them, and said, "Little Celery made a mistake just now—she said that a caterpillar pupates and then breaks out of its shell, and then becomes a butterfly, just like an ugly duckling turning into a white swan. Actually, this is not true."

"What's wrong?"

Wang Gan and Li Kun looked confused.

Zhang Zian's face was a little heavy, and he explained: "After the caterpillar pupates, the inside will undergo earth-shaking changes. Almost all the organs in the caterpillar's body will be digested by enzymes into cytoplasm, and then produced by a kind of 'imaginal disc'. The tissue uses the cytoplasm as a source of nutrition and then regenerates the various organs of the butterfly."

Wang Qian and Li Kun were still in a daze, completely unable to understand.

"For example, in a sci-fi movie like "Alien", a person is injected with eggs of some kind of alien creature without knowing it, and then he enters the hibernation cabin to cope with the long space travel. During his hibernation, eggs hatched quietly in his body, feeding on his flesh and organs... When the hibernation chamber was opened again, what came out of it was not a human being, but an alien monster. This, can Think of it as the transition from caterpillar to butterfly."

Zhang Zian pointed to the swallowtail larva that was about to pupate, "You thought this caterpillar would turn into a butterfly, but it's not, it's just a feeding machine responsible for collecting nutrients, the real butterfly is still parasitic in a form similar to an egg Inside it, wait for it to fatten itself up, and then feed on it—people go in, alien monsters come out; caterpillars go in, butterflies come out. How can this be the same as the ugly duckling and the white swan on par with the transformation of

Wang Qian and Li Kun finally understood, and their faces changed when they looked at each other. It was clearly summer, but their backs were cold, and goose bumps appeared all over their bodies.

"It's not poetic or aesthetic at all, is it? But the truth is so cruel." Zhang Zian said with a wry smile, "The word 'turning from a cocoon into a butterfly' is fundamentally untenable, even if it is changed to 'turning into a chrysalis' "Butterfly" is also untenable, and after the caterpillar pupates, it is completely dead."

Wang Qian understood, "So, you didn't tell Little Celery about this..."

"Yeah, because these truths are too dark and cruel. Little Celery doesn't need to know these things at her age. Let her think that caterpillars can really transform into butterflies."

Wang Qian and Li Kun sighed endlessly.

Zhang Zian stared at the swallowtail larva, what kind of butterfly is hidden inside it?
