Yunyi took Wang Lao's family to walk around in the wine valley manor for a long time, and returned to the mid-level platform together at noon, because Wang Lao was old and needed a lunch break, Wang Yunfei and his wife and daughter were also tired, one afternoon Yunyi accompanied Wang Yunfei to drink tea and chat in the lotus pond pavilion of the mid-mountain platform, time passed in a flash, and it was dinner time, and after dinner, everyone moved chairs to the courtyard of the courtyard to see the stars.

As soon as the lively and lovely little Jiajia walked out of the door, she looked up and saw the night sky like a diamond, and couldn't help but exclaim "wow": "Mom! So many stars? I haven't seen many, many stars! ”

Akemi's eyes widened, revealing an incredible expression, and said, "Yes, there are a lot of stars!" I never knew I could see so many stars at night? ”

In addition to Grandpa, Yunyi, Wang Lao and Wang Yunfei, Mingmei and Jiajia were all born in the city, and now at night in the city, no matter how clear the night sky is, there are not many stars, and it is normal to be shocked when you suddenly see this sky full of stars.

Wang Lao said with a wistful expression: "When I was young, I could often see so many stars in my hometown, but now I can't, the city is like the night sky of another planet." ”

Yun Yi observed the night sky for a while and smiled: "When I was a child, in the sunniest weather in summer, the night sky I saw was spectacular!" The stars were crowded together, as if layer after layer, and every few seconds a meteor streaked by, and the eye could not see it, but now it was much worse, and I could no longer see that shocking sight. ”

Everyone sat on the chairs, blowing the refreshing night breeze, listening to the croaking of frogs in the fields, arguing about the constellations, and all of them seemed peaceful and comfortable.

If you really want to find a place of disharmony, it's the nasty blood-sucking mosquitoes, August is the season when mosquitoes are rampant, not to mention mosquitoes in the countryside, Yunyi lit two plates of mosquito coils early, and the buzz around became a little smaller, but there are still people who are not afraid of death to attack and sneak attack.

In the past, locals used dried mugwort to light it and smoke it to drive away mosquitoes.

Now, mosquito coils have become popular, and only some elderly people are not afraid of trouble and smoke, and they are still using this method.

There are many misconceptions about mosquitoes, such as the belief that mosquitoes live by sucking blood, or that male mosquitoes are vegetarian and female mosquitoes suck blood.

In fact, both female and male mosquitoes drink flower dew and grass juice for a living.

The upper and lower palate of male mosquitoes have degenerated or disappeared, and they are unable to suck blood, and they are generally outdoors, and will only hide indoors when the weather is cold.

Therefore, the female mosquito sucks blood for the maturation of the egg cell, not for the individual's own nutrition, and when it is full, it will fly to a place with water to lay eggs.

Female mosquito sucking blood is a process of supplementing nutrition, without blood nutrition its ovaries are infertile, and a sucking of blood is only enough for female mosquitoes to lay eggs once, to lay an egg must suck blood again.

Female mosquitoes can lay eggs six to eight times in their lifetime, each time 2oo-3oo grains, that is, a female mosquito may suck blood six to eight times in her life.

Mosquitoes suck blood selectively, and some believe that it is a difference in blood type, but there is no scientific basis for this claim.

In fact, mosquitoes like to bite people who love sweating, have a high body temperature, have tender skin, and love makeup.

Speaking of fighting mosquitoes, Yun Yi told an anecdote about a woman in country M who died of a fungal infection of the genus Microsporidia because she killed a mosquito.

In this regard, a global authoritative medical journal published this matter, so this "blood case" caused by mosquitoes has attracted the attention and heated discussions of netizens all over the world.

Later, researchers speculated that a mosquito would leave a wound on its skin when it sucked blood, and when it was sucking blood, if it was suddenly slapped to death, the mosquito's mouthparts would not have time to be pulled out, and the wound on the human skin would not heal.

The deadly fungus carried by mosquitoes may invade the body and cause bacterial infections with wounds that have not yet healed, and eventually lead to death.

For this reason, a medical expert also sternly mentioned a seemingly funny Jianyì: "If a mosquito is biting, it is better to gently bounce it away than to slap it to death." ”

After hearing this, Akemi said, "This is too terrifying, if this is the case, I will not dare to fight mosquitoes in the future." ”

Yun Yi smiled slightly, disapproving, he grew up and killed the mosquitoes that were sucking blood, not a thousand, but hundreds.

Wang Yunfei laughed and said: "Whether the cause of that woman's death is like this or not, regardless of it for the time being, even if it is true, the probability is too small, it is better to worry about the sky and worry about the earth being hit by a meteor." ”

Yunyi also thinks that this is not a good place in the countryside, and in the future, he can plant some plants such as nightshade, lavender, pitcher plant, cordyceps and lemon eucalyptus in the yard, which can not only beautify the environment, but also drive away these pesky guys.

Looking at the night sky dotted with stars, Wang Yunfei, Mingmei and Jiajia held their heads high, arguing about which two stars were the Cowherd Star and the Vega Star, and no one was convinced; Wang Yunfei and others are highly educated, so they naturally know some astronomical and constellation knowledge, but they have no practical experience, but fortunately, the obvious white star belt in the night sky is the legendary "Tianhe", and the Cowherd and Vega are everywhere, but where is the specific direction? The crowd was also confused.

In the end, Yun Yi had seen a lot of stars in the sky before, and he knew more than everyone else, so he looked carefully, pointed to a silver-white bright star and said: "That should be the Vega Star, there are four diamond-shaped stars next to her, according to legend, it is the shuttle used by the Weaver Girl to weave cloth, and the bright star opposite her is the Cowherd Star, and the two small dark stars next to him are their two sons." ”

Yunyi's point, everyone suddenly became clear, and they all remembered the legendary story they heard when they were children, the fairy fell in love with mortals, but was blocked by the queen mother, and from then on, they could only meet once a year on the day of Qixi Festival.

Speaking of constellations, everyone will naturally think of the zodiac signs such as Aries, Taurus and so on, and the world will combine these twelve zodiac signs with the date of birth, in the minds of many young people, more important than the zodiac, used to analyze personality, predict fortunes, etc.

In fact, the International Astronomical Union divides the star field into eighty-eight universal constellations, with five northern arch constellations, nineteen northern celestial constellations, ten equatorial constellations, and forty-two southern celestial constellations, in addition to the most famous zodiacal constellations.

Wang Lao looked at the few people who were arguing, shook an old pu fan in his hand, and said yearningly: "If only there was an astronomical telescope." ”

Yun Yi listened to the movement in his heart and nodded: "This mention is good, I will order it after a while, bask in the sun during the day, and see how good it is to see the stars at night." ”

Wang Yunfei pursed his lips and said, "By the time you buy it, we will have already left." ”

Akemi hurriedly said, "Then we'll come back next time." ”

"Good...! Good...! Good...! I'm coming, too... I'm coming too...! Xiao Jiajia said happily while clapping her hands.

Seeing Xiao Jiajia's innocent appearance, the old man next to him also laughed together, and the family of three also threw away the argument.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the platform in the middle of the mountain gradually entered the tranquility, Wang Lao's family will leave Hegu Village early tomorrow, and the quiet night has faded away from the noise of the day, giving people a different rural starry night!
