Two thin gray-clad children of five or six years old stood in the distance screaming and screaming.

The big yellow dog barked at a black snake the thickness of chopsticks in the grass, and the black snake was frightened and climbed down the slope into a ditch densely covered with weeds.

Li Jingjing stood up and looked back and said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

There is a lot of rain in the area of Tanzhou, the weather is humid, the wild grass is dense all year round, and there are many snakes, ants and poisonous insects.

Qujia Village is next to rice fields and mountain forests, and you can often see mountain snakes and water snakes.

The two children are the sons of the two nephews of the old patriarch of Qu. The eldest is called Qu Zheng, the younger one is called Qu Yi, the relationship is cousins, and they are all five years old, which is exactly when adults don't care and play in the village all day long.

Qu Zheng had a lively temperament, and walked over and asked curiously, "Sister Jing, what are you digging again?" ”

The most beautiful girl in the village is Li Jingjing, with a goose egg face and snow-white skin, big round apricot eyes, eyes as bright as stars, a small nose, and rose-red lips.

Li Jingjing's flower-like mother is ingenious, and she braided the ribbon into her hair, and the little girls in other families in the village also combed her bun head, but it was not as good as her bun head.

The people in the village loved her.

Li Jingjing has a good family background, knows how to be polite and is very generous, as long as there is food in her pocket, she will share it with other children.

He and his cousin Qu Yi had eaten jelly beans given by Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing pointed to a group of ants on the ground who were "fleeing for their lives" with a hoe, and said with a smile: "I'm looking for the biggest ant nest." ”

Qu Zheng squatted down and looked at it a few times, and said, "This ant nest is not big, and there are no ants with wings." I know where there is a big ant nest, take you there. ”

Qu Zheng helped Li Jingjing hold the hoe and held her right hand, and Qu Yi shyly pulled up her left hand.

The three of them walked towards the head of the village, the big yellow dog shook his head and followed with his tail, and a few children and girls joined the team on the way.

"Do you want to see the winged flying ant king?"

"Let's dig an ant nest to find the ant king."

A group of children laughed and came to the 200-year-old locust tree at the head of the village, and began to dig ant nests with hoes and branches.

The branches and leaves of the big locust tree are dense, and at the beginning of summer, they are full of snow-white and fragrant locust flowers, and adults and children come to pick the flowers and go back to wash them and steam them with rice.

In winter, as long as it is sunny, the old people of the village will come here to chat and bask in the sun.

There were five oversized ant nests within a circle of five zhang under the tree, all of which were dug up by the children, revealing the top layer, and countless ants poured out from under the nests, and there were really more than a dozen large ants with transparent wings twice the size of ordinary ants.

The children poked a few big ants with wings to death, and wanted to use the leaves to fill the ditch with water to drown the ant nest, Li Jingjing blushed and smiled and proposed to catch grasshoppers to play.

A boy cried out, "There are a lot of grasshoppers in the field at the end of the village. ”

Qu Zheng gestured with his palm Li Jingjing: "I have been to that field, when the sun is big, many green grasshoppers longer than my palm fly in the grass. ”

The child finished torturing the ants and went to the end of the village with joy.

Li Jingjing deliberately went to the back of the arc and collected all the ants that escaped from the ant nest into the Aphrodisiac Mansion.

Ants are very common insects, just like earthworms, but they are highly effective.

The Book of Medicine and Beasts records the efficacy of ants: tonifying the kidney and invigorating essence; Activate the meridians; Detoxification and swelling. (Excerpt from Baidu)

Qu Zheng quietly pushed away the snotty boy who was coming to Li Jingjing's side, and asked, "Sister Jing, you used to like wild grasses and wild vegetables, but now you don't like it?" ”

Li Jingjing said: "I don't like what I know, but I still like what I don't know." ”

Qu Zhengdao: "My grandfather's house is in the mountains, and there are a lot of wild grasses and wild vegetables that I don't even know, I'll bring some with you next time." ”

Li Jingjing smiled: "Okay, but you must remember to bring the connecting roots." ”

A five-year-old girl said, "Sister Jing, my grandfather's house also has a lot of wild vegetables, I'll bring some back for you next time." ”

Li Jingjing said gratefully: "You guys are so good to me. Thank you. ”

She has been collecting herbs since last year and has received unrequited help from many of the village's older children.

In order to thank these children, she used the money given by her elders to buy jelly beans with the merchant and share them with them.

Qu Zheng lowered his head and kissed Li Jingjing on the cheek, and said with a smile: "You're welcome." Sister Jing, you are also very good to me. ”

Qu Yixiao's face flushed and shyly walked forward and kissed Li Jingjing.

A few little girls saw that a few children kissed her, and they also kissed her one by one.

The autumn sky is cloudless, the sun is shining, and a group of immature and crisp songs resounded in the quiet sky of Qujia Village.

Several small girls made fun of a few children together, and sang loudly: "A thin girl on the ground, a thin duck in the water, a thin duck in the water, a thin duck goes into the water to chase the thin duck, and the thin duck hides on the ground." In the end, the thin duck chases the thin duck, or the thin duck hides the thin duck. ”

Not to be outdone, a few children fought back against the little girl and sang loudly: "There is a lazy girl sitting on the bed, and a dirty sock lying on the stool." The lazy girl went to the ground to find dirty socks, and the dirty socks didn't know which broken cabinet to hide in, and the lazy girl smashed the broken cabinet in anger. ”

The fields at the end of the village are empty, and the wild grass is three feet high, making it a good place for insects to settle down.

With the help of her friends, Li Jingjing easily collected hundreds of grasshoppers here, and unexpectedly got three unlucky geckos.

Grasshoppers are locusts, which can not only be roasted and eaten, but also have medicinal properties.

Geckos are also a ubiquitous animal in the south, and their whole body can be used as medicine.

The "Book of Medicine and Beasts" records the efficacy of geckos: treatment of stroke paralysis, inability to lift hands and feet, or wind pain, and wind spasms, epilepsy, children's dysentery, blood accumulation into ruffians, and severe wind scrofula; Healing scorpion stings. (Excerpt from "Compendium of Materia Medica")

Collecting medicinal beasts is much more difficult than collecting medicinal herbs.

Medicine beasts are living animals, can run, climb, fly, small medicine beasts are easy to collect, large medicine beasts are in the deep mountains and old forests, rivers and oceans, endless sky.

The medicine beasts are also divided into male and female, only the very small medicine beasts are hermaphroditic, and the vast majority of the medicine beasts are male and female. If the medicine beast is perfunctory in the aphrodisiac medicine house, it will be able to have both females and males.

It's hard to get started. Li Jingjing thought that when she was young, she would be able to use medicine and sell it for silver money when she grew up, so she directly used silver money to buy rare medicine beasts.

Li Quzhi walked from the direction of Li's house and shouted, "Sister Jing, go home for dinner." ”

Qu Zheng lowered his head and said, "Sister Jing, go home quickly." ”

Qu Yi said: "Let's play for a while and go home before we eat." ”

The children all waved goodbye to Li Jingjing, "Sister Jing, let's play together tomorrow!" ”

Qujia Village has good conditions and only a handful of families can have breakfast. Qu Zheng and Qu Yi's family backgrounds are average. This morning, before the adults went to the field to plant vegetables, they said that yesterday the mid-autumn festival was heavy in oil and water, and today they let them go home after noon to have their first meal.
