About This Novel
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the faint fragrance of osmanthus floats in the air, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky. At this time, most families in Shanghai were gathering together to admire the moon, but the Lu family mansion in Fukangli, Bangnan seemed very deserted and silent, as if it was shrouded in an ominous atmosphere. It turns out that a few days ago, Lu Xiaokai went to "Shuaiju" without telling Master Lu to fight crickets. Shanghainese called it Douchong, also called Shangzha, which is a rectangular cage where crickets duel. What Lu Xiaokai took was a famous Shanghai Qibao insect, Crab Green, which is spread on iron sand, while the other land king, Mr. Xiaokai Jin, had his insect from Ningjin, Shandong Province, where the cricket in "Promoting Weaving" comes from.
