Chapter 6: The White Scorpion

There are many scorpions in China, whether they are in the south, north, east or west, you can see the footprints of scorpions.

They mostly live on slopes with muddy lobes and in places where they are neither dry nor wet, with sparse vegetation and some grass and shrubs. It is difficult to see them in places where there are trees, overgrown weeds, too wet, rockless or rockless mountains, and where there are many ants.

In the past, there were many scorpion nests around Qilian Village, but in recent years, he has been caught by Cai Hongming. Now if he wants to catch the scorpion, he can only run outside the village.

In fact, he caught scorpions not only for eating, but also for medicine.

Scorpions are flat, sweet and spicy, poisonous, and have the effects of dispelling wind, spasmodic, analgesic, channeling, and detoxification.

His family is an ancestral orthopedic surgeon, and his father is an orthopedic surgeon. The state and region are very famous, and some orthopedic plasters need to use scorpions, so he has to take it personally.

After a while, Cai Hongming came to the foot of the hillside.

Scorpions are things that like the tide and are afraid of moisture, and they like darkness and are afraid of strong light. Therefore, it is generally necessary to choose a place that is not too exposed to direct sunlight and is not too shady. Cai Hongming looked for it, and found traces of scorpions under a piece of rubble, and hurriedly picked up a hoe and dug it. Soon, a hole was dug. The scorpions in the cave were frightened and crawled out of it.

Cai Hongming saw it, quickly grabbed the scorpion that was about to run and put it into the plastic bucket he brought.

Be very careful when catching scorpions, catch the tail needle, and don't get stung, otherwise it will be as red and swollen as being stung by a tiger bee. Although the poison of the scorpion is not fatal, it will be very itchy and uncomfortable, and it will take a few hours or even two or three days to be fine.

After catching the scorpion that ran out, Cai Hongming picked up the hoe and continued to dig into the scorpion hole to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.

Sure enough, there was one.

A hoe went down, and a scorpion came out with sand. The scorpion was larger than the previous ones, about eight centimeters, and was dug out motionless. I don't know if this guy has albinism, his whole body is wrinkled, dull, and white, like the bark of a tree that has lost its moisture. Cai Hongming picked up a branch from the side and stabbed it, the scorpion moved, obviously still alive, but he didn't know what was going on, and he looked like he was dying.

This is good, if you can still come back to life after drinking the jade toad liquid like this, it will not explain the magic of the jade toad liquid even more.

Then, he found another scorpion hole, dug a nest of scorpions, and saw that there were about a dozen or so in the bucket before walking back.

Back at home, he found a large glass bottle to fill the white scorpion that looked like it was dying, and then walked to the kitchen with a dozen scorpions in the bucket. In the evening, he plans to make a deep-fried desert scorpion with these scorpions, which will taste like eating potato chips, crunchy.

After eating, when he returned to the house, Cai Hongming took out the jade tripod and looked at it, how to see how he liked it.

The sun is setting in the west, the sky is not dark, and the moon is still resting, so Yuding is not able to absorb the Haoyue Essence for the time being.

Looking at it, Cai Hongming suddenly felt that Yuding was too conspicuous, what if people saw it? Anyone knows this thing as a treasure, but if someone accidentally sees it stealing it, it's okay. Previously, he planned to be buried in the mountain, but now that he knows the function of the jade tripod, how can he take it with him from time to time?

After thinking about it, he decided to disguise the jade tripod, so he went to the mountain to find a few tough tree vines and came back to weave a cage to wrap the jade tripod inside, leaving only a hole on the top for it to absorb the essence of Haoyue.

Looking at the jade tripod that emitted a faint light in the cage, Cai Hongming was very satisfied, if he hadn't looked closer, he would definitely not have seen what was inside.

In this way, people will not feel weird when they see it, at most they will think that it is just a handicraft with light bulbs or candles inside. However, it is still necessary to be careful and be careful of being taken away.

When night fell, the moonlight sprinkled on the windowsill, and the jade tripod kept absorbing the essence of the moon and transforming it into jade toad liquid.

Yuding can only transform nine drops of jade toad liquid in one night, and according to the moon at seven o'clock to five o'clock the next day, a day is ten hours, and it takes almost more than an hour to condense a drop of jade toad liquid. Cai Hongming waited for that haggard heart, and finally waited for a drop.

At this time, he suddenly thought, the cage wrapped the jade ding, how did he get the jade toad liquid? As a last resort, he had to dismantle the cage before taking out the jade toad liquid and putting it in the prepared water.

The water was in a ratio of one to one hundred, and after making it, he stirred it, took out a useless small teacup from the cupboard, poured the water into it and fed it to the half-dead white scorpion that he had caught during the day.

The white scorpion seemed to sense something, and as soon as it was released, it struggled to crawl to the teacup, and then lay on it and drank it, and after drinking it, it lay motionless on its stomach as if it were dead.

Cai Hongming thought he was dead, so he rubbed it with the bottle, and found that it was still alive, so he put it in the bottle. After thinking about it, I still felt a little uneasy, so I went to the backyard and grabbed a little rooster. These chickens are kept in his backyard and are usually fed by Silly Afu.

After catching the little rooster, he took the teacup and forcibly poured it a cup of jade toad liquid mixed with water. The guy couldn't get enough of it, giggling and pecking into the cup. He fed it another cup and shut it up in a useless room so as not to be confused with the other chickens.

After being busy, Cai Hongming stopped caring about them and went online.

"Whoa"

The morning light slowly kicked off, and it was another gorgeous and colorful morning, bringing freshness to the world.

Cai Hongming was sleeping in the house with the quilt, and when he heard the rooster crowing, he lazily stretched out his hand and took his mobile phone to look at it, it was only five o'clock, so early he didn't want to get up, turned over, and continued to fall asleep.

"Whoa"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he fell asleep, he heard the crow of the little rooster that was locked in the house yesterday. Now he was so angry that he didn't let people sleep early in the morning. He jumped out of bed and ran to the room where he had kept the chicken yesterday. As soon as I opened the door, I saw the plague chicken walking around the room, looking so unhappy.

Cai Hongming said angrily: "Oh, oh, oh, your mother, you don't have to sleep, you will be castrated if you call again." ”

After saying that, he closed the door in anger and ran back to the room. If it weren't for the test, he would have thrown this broken chicken out a long time ago.

I went back to the house and slept until the sun was high. This time, the little rooster didn't know if he was scared, so he didn't crow again.

When he came out by brushing his teeth and washing his face, the first thing Cai Hongming did was to run to see the white scorpion. He found that the white scorpion had actually molted, and after molting, the body that had lost moisture and was dry and wrinkled like tree bark actually became smooth, and it looked much more energetic, but the body became smaller, about eight centimeters, and only six centimeters remained after molting. It seems that the jade toad liquid is somewhat useful, at least it has revived this half-dead white scorpion. After seeing the white scorpion, he ran again to see the little rooster that had woken it up early.

The little rooster walked around the house, pulling all over the ground, it stinked to death, but fortunately there was no one in this room, otherwise he would have been smoked to death.

Cai Hongming took a closer look, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he found that the little rooster had changed a little bit from yesterday. Full of spirit, the feathers seem to have become more beautiful. It seems that the jade toad liquid does have an effect. However, he still didn't dare to take it right away, and planned to continue to observe it for a few more days. So, he took out the jade toad liquid mixed with water yesterday and continued to feed it.

When he took out the jade toad liquid mixed with water, he found that a pungent smell wafted out of the cup, as if it was rancid.

Is it broken?

Cai Hongming poured water into the cup and put it in front of the little rooster to drink, but the little rooster avoided it in disgust, and it was the same when he fed the white scorpion. As a last resort, he had to take a drop of jade toad liquid from the jade tripod and mix it with water to feed them. The two guys couldn't wait to drink.

It seems that the overnight water jade toad liquid is useless. Cai Hongming touched his chin and thought.
