Chapter 35 Digging the Wild Honeycomb
When Zhao Qingzao saw Chu Xingshan, Chu Xingshan was busy re-weaving the fence for his small piece of land, and when he saw Zhao Qingzao, he couldn't help but smile heartily: "Qingzao, why are you here." ”
Zhao Qingzao smiled and said, "Brother Chu, you're busy." ”
"There's nothing busy, the chickens next door are always burrowing into this field, and I'm busy using a fence to stop it." As he spoke, Chu Xingshan pointed to several large bundles of bamboo branches piled aside, and arranged the bamboo branches in a row with his hands and feet, clamped them with two long pieces of bamboo, and tied them with rattan.
Zhao Qingzao also knows this thing, the branches of the hollow bamboo, open just like a net, a few stacked up, fixed is a fence, straightened to the stake, can completely intercept chickens, ducks and dogs and the like, the village is everywhere.
Zhao Qingzao looked at it for a while, and found that Chu Xingshan was busy, and he was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing how to speak.
Seeing this, Chu Xingshan asked very dryly: "Qing Zao, what are you looking for me?" ”
"That's right, I want to get some honey, I wonder if you know where the honeycomb is?" Zhao Qingzao finally gritted her teeth and spoke, delaying Chu Xingshan's guys, she would just find a way to repay this favor in the future.
"There are no domestic, I know a few wild honeycombs, do you want to get honey?" Chu Xingshan was a little surprised.
Zhao Qingzao nodded, told Shen Changting about his illness, and said, "I just don't know where it is, so I came to ask you." ”
"Okay, I'll take you there, but it's dangerous to poke the honeycomb, so you can't go like this." Chu Xingshan suggested.
"So what to do?" Zhao Qingzao really didn't understand anything about poking the honeycomb, she only knew that there must be honey in the honeycomb, as for how to get it, she planned to come hard.
Chu Xingshan saw that Zhao Qingzao was a layman, and couldn't help laughing: "You go find some old clothes and the like, and get acquainted with the bag, otherwise you will be covered with bags carefully, let's go, go back first, and I'll clean it up too." ”
"Okay."
Zhao Qingzao asked for precautions, but it was impossible to have old clothes at home, her only two clothes were good, and Shen Changting had no old clothes, so in the end, she was helpless and asked Grandma Niu with a cheeky face to see her, so she followed Chu Xingshan into the back mountain.
Chu Xingshan is worthy of being born as a hunter, and he is familiar with the surrounding doors of this village, and he is not familiar with it, and he took Zhao Qingzao into the back mountain not far away, and he encountered a nest of wild bees.
Buzzing......
Wild bees are dense and fluttering around the branches of a large tree, and one bee is about the size of a little finger, and looks terrifying, at least much fatter than the domestic ones.
Seeing this, Chu Xingshan pointed to the honeycomb on the branch and said, "No, that's it, but this honeycomb is not big, and it doesn't seem to have much honey in it." ”
Following the direction of Chu Xingshan's finger, Zhao Qingzao was speechless when he saw the honeycomb, which was hanging on the branches, looking like an oval, the size of a human head.
"Isn't this a hornet's nest?"
Looking at this situation, Zhao Qingzao's scalp was a little numb for a while, it was the first time she had seen the honeycomb of the wasp with her own eyes, and she had only seen it on the Internet in her previous life, and asked in horror: "Brother Chu, what should I do, poke it down directly with a bamboo stick?" ”
"That must not be stung."
Chu Xingshan smiled angrily and said, "Wait, look at me." ”
As he spoke, he took a firewood knife and cut a bamboo, then picked up some weeds and dried firewood, and made a thick torch, and finally lit the torch to extinguish the flame, and suddenly a thick smoke suddenly rose.
Zhao Qingzao wanted to ask, what is the use of this, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Chu Xingshan.
"It's done, be careful, your clothes cover people, don't be stung!"
Chu Xingshan said, he also took his old clothes to cover his hands and head, left two eyes outside, and immediately took a bamboo stick to carry a torch and stretched it out to the honeycomb.
Zhao Qingzao didn't dare to be sloppy, and instantly wrapped himself tightly.
Suddenly, a thick smoke rose and completely enveloped the entire hornet's nest.
"Bees are afraid of smoke, especially wild bees, and they are even more afraid of this, and they can't stay in the smoke for a while." Chu Xingshan opened his mouth a little proudly.
Sure enough, as the smoke rose, those bees buzzed, and instantly dispersed, not only that, but in the honeycomb, there were also bees constantly running out, circling around the tree, but they didn't dare to approach the honeycomb.
It smoked like this for about two quarters of an hour, and the smoke was so thick that it almost covered the whole tree, and the wasps could not stay any longer, and soon flew far away, lying on another big tree not far away.
Zhao Qingzao suddenly saw a strange situation, dense bees stacked on the branches, and soon formed a small round ball completely piled up by bees, like a big bowl upside down on the branch.
"Almost, you pay attention, move slowly, the bees won't sting for no reason, as long as you don't move too much, don't run, the faster you run, they will stare at you."
Chu Xingshan spoke vigilantly.
Zhao Qingzao hurriedly said: "Well, I understand." ”
Bees love to sting and move people, and she knew this in her last life.
Seeing this, Chu Xingshan put down the torch with a hey, and violently pounded it on the round honeycomb with a bamboo stick.
Chu Xingshan had enough strength, and he went back and forth two or three times, and suddenly the honeycomb shook violently, and then fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
The honeycomb fell to the ground instantly.
I have to say that the hornet's nest is really strong, and with a thick layer of thatch on the ground, it didn't break when it fell from such a high place.
"It's done, pick it up and go."
Seeing this, Chu Xingshan's eyes lit up, holding the torch that was still smoking, he rushed over, took a closer look, and found that there was really no wasp, so he picked up the honeycomb and walked back.
Zhao Qingzao was overjoyed when she saw this, and immediately followed without hesitation, but she may have gone too fast, or maybe those hornets learned that the honeycomb was gone, so they rushed over and buzzed around Zhao Qingzao.
"Ahh
Zhao Qingzao was startled, and subconsciously raised his hand to rush.
However, this time, she instantly angered the hornet.
"Buzz!"
Without hesitation, a hornet lunged at her, and several more flew towards her.
"Brother Chu, run."
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao's scalp was numb, knowing that he had caused a big disaster, he immediately did not hesitate, he ran away, it had already become a target, and if he didn't run, he would be looking for death.
Seeing this, Chu Xingshan's face changed greatly, and he waved the torch of smoke behind him violently, and he didn't want to think about it, so he also pulled his legs and rushed down the mountain.
However, whether it was Zhao Qingzao or Chu Xingshan, they couldn't outrun the hornets after all, and were caught up by several wasps, and the stitches greeted them on their faces and heads without hesitation.
Zhao Qingzao only felt that he suddenly saw it, and there was a tingling pain on his face and head, and he immediately knew that something was wrong.
Fortunately, she and Chu Xingshan saw the opportunity quickly, the smoke from the torches had not been extinguished, and the sting was not very serious, but Rao was so, and when they came down the mountain, the two of them had big bags swollen on their faces and heads, and they looked very embarrassed.
Chu Xingshan is okay, but he didn't sting a few times on the top of his head, and Zhao Qingzao even had two swollen bags on his face.
"Go back and touch the oil."
Seeing this, Chu Xingshan smiled helplessly.
Zhao Qingzao was also very helpless, she didn't expect it to happen suddenly, and at the same time, she regretted that she shouldn't be so impulsive, otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered such a crime at all.
But fortunately, this wasp doesn't seem to be too venomous, although the face is swollen with a few packs, but it doesn't look very serious, and obviously the toxicity is not particularly great.
When the two of them stared at the bag and returned to Chu Xingshan's house, Grandma Niu smiled angrily when she saw this.
The hornet's nest is very easy to handle, the outer shell looks very strong, but it is actually very soft, and the inside of the shell is the layers of beehives, which looks extremely delicate and beautiful.
Carefully remove the outer shell, cut off the honeycomb one by one with a knife, and then remove a layer of film in each small hole, turn it upside down, and put it in the pot in a hurry, and the honey will automatically flow down.
This time the harvest was very good, there were several large bowls of honey harvested, in addition, there were also a lot of beeswax, as well as beehives, royal jelly, etc.
Two hours have passed since everything was busy.
Zhao Qingzao gave most of this harvest to Chu Xingshan, Chu Xingshan saw this, and hurriedly excused himself, but Zhao Qingzao insisted: "Brother Chu, this time it's all up to you to help, I'll just watch from the side, and I will cause you to suffer with me, so you can accept these." ”
Seeing this, Chu Xingshan accepted it helplessly.
Grandma Niu was also overjoyed to see Zhao Qingzao so generous, especially seeing that Zhao Qingzao was so attentive to Shen Changting, and her impression of Zhao Qingzao became better and better.
"By the way, Brother Chu, this beehive can be eaten, you and Grandma Niu, remember to eat some every day, not too much, you can steam it and dry it and keep it." Zhao Qingzao saw that Chu Xingshan accepted it, and reminded him busily.
In her previous life, when her aunt came, she died of pain, and it was said that this hive had a good curative effect, but unfortunately it was useless, and later I learned that this thing had a good effect on toothache and rheumatism.
"Huh? How to use it? Chu Xingshan was stunned, he and Grandma Niu didn't understand this aspect.
"It can cure toothache, rheumatism, or something, but you have to pick a soft one and clean it inside."
Zhao Qingzao said, and then made another demonstration.
"You know a lot about green dates." Chu Xingshan grinned, he was really surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Qingzao to even understand this.
Zhao Qingzao didn't dare to show too much of an outlier, and couldn't help laughing: "It's all from what the doctor said, I don't know if it's true or not, I'd rather believe it, it won't be harmful." ”
"Okay, I see." Chu Xingshan patted his chest without hesitation.
Zhao Qingzao smiled, seeing that the order was almost over, he couldn't wait to go back, so he didn't stay long immediately, holding a few bowls of honey and beehives and other messes, and returned home happily.
When Zhao Qingzao returned home, Shen Changting was resting, she didn't bother, she took the honey and put it away, as for the beehive, she planned to keep it for Shen Changting to eat directly, this thing works very well, it is useful for both men and women, and her body is not as good as in her previous life, so she can also eat some.
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but be happy for a while, and felt that the hard work this time was worth it.
It's a pity that this is a dangerous thing after all, otherwise, she plans to dig out the honeycomb in the future.
"It's not too early, heat the medicine first."
Now that the honey is available, Zhao Qingzao has also relaxed a lot for a while, after all, Shen Changting is the only one in the family who can make money, she really doesn't want Shen Changting to have an accident, since she knew that Shen Changting had that strange illness, she was so anxious.
"I'll have to find a better doctor in the future."
She sighed helplessly, but she couldn't do anything about this kind of thing for the time being, so she could only keep it for later.
