In the early morning, the rainstorm is clear, when the first rays of sunlight shine on the wet earth, the blue sea tide recedes, and everything recovers.

Jiang Liu'er opened his sleepy eyes in a daze, to be precise, he was woken up by a mosquito bite.

As soon as I got up, I felt a burst of muscle aches and an itchy and uncomfortable mosquito bite all over my body.

looked closely, but Jiang Liu'er was really startled, only to see that his slender arms, thighs, and even his face were all large bags and small bags bitten by mosquitoes, like red spots, which looked very scary.

Faint!

Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but smile bitterly, he could probably expect such a situation, but he didn't expect that the mosquitoes on this desert island would be so vicious, not even an inch of intact skin.

Forget about sucking blood, why should you stare at your face!

I'm still going to eat with my face!

It's very itchy all over, but Jiang Liu'er doesn't dare to scratch it, the scratched bag is even more painful, and it is easy to get infected, in case you get a tetanus or something, it will be a little more than worth the loss.

Jiang Liu'er sighed drunkenly, her face full of resentment and depression.

Slowly straighten up from the cave, Jiang Liu'er is a hundred uncomfortable anyway, whether it is the dry, hard and fleshy sand, the mosquitoes buzzing everywhere, and the beetles and spiders that will peek out of the ground from time to time.

The fire in front of me had long since been extinguished, leaving only a pile of gray and black plant ash, as well as some unburned wood chips and half-carbonized old tree roots, piled up irregularly.

Anyway, Jiang Liu'er was ready to get out of this cave.

On second thought, this plant ash is a treasure!

Because plant ash is the residue of burning plants (herbaceous and woody), it is an insoluble substance. Therefore, all the mineral elements contained in plants are almost all contained in plant ash. The gray matter of plants and trees is light and alkaline, and it is easy to go away with the wind when it is dry and easy to go with the water when it is wet.

And in addition to the commonly used fertilizer in contemporary times, in terms of pharmacology, plant ash is also a rare medicinal material.

Jiang Liuer vaguely remembers that traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to making the best use of things, and plant ash is highly praised in many ancient books because it is rich in multiple minerals and unique composition.

The main effect of plant ash is the effect: dissipate cold and swelling, eliminate disease and break accumulation, treat large bone joint disease, and erode carbuncle and bad meat.

Sexual taste returns to the scriptures: return to the meridians and are warm.

The "Benjing" once said: "The taste is spicy, and it is slightly warm." The "Compendium" also recorded: "Xin, lukewarm, poisonous." into the liver, kidney second meridian.

It even has an interesting nickname called Winter Ash, or Quinoa Ash.

In contemporary times, there is a book called "Grass and Wood Ash Treatment of Large Bone Joint Disease", which records that Tao Hongjing once said:

"(Winter ash) is now the yellow ash of the, burning all the artemisia terrestris, accumulating and refining, and the sex is also fierce. Again won the gray Youlie. If you want to sell the black warts, take these three kinds of ash and steam them to point it, that is, to go. It should not be widely used, and it will rot people's skin and flesh. ”

In "Tang Materia Medica", it is even more blunt:

"Mulberry ash, the most medicinal, treatment of sunspot warts, better than winter ash. However, the winter ash is quinoa ash, and the remaining grass is not real. There is also artemisia ash, which is made of burning artemisia. Ash is burned and made of wood leaves, and it is incorporated into dyeing, and it can also corrode evil meat. Ash is a Ling word. ”

"Materia Medica" also said: "Mulberry ash, outside the original work to remove wind and blood, symptoms and lumps, and the main water? Drizzle the juice for food, and take three or five liters. He also took a turtle, treated it like a food, fried it like mud with mulberry ash juice, and the medicine for all kinds of diseases, and fried it re-fried, and there were all those who were sick. Most of its texts are not contained. ”

Even for people like Jiang Liuer, who only know a little about traditional Chinese medicine, they remember an ancient book "Materia Medica" that they once read by chance, saying:

"Winter ash, all the families stop dissolving the ash and not dissolving the winter, and it is also its que. The ash is baked, but the winter ash is through the furnace in March and April, and the ash is burned at dawn and evening, and its strength is not completely dry and intense, and the body is heavy. Today? If the tongue is tight and the face is less tolerant, the square uses nine burns to benefit the mother ash, and the cover takes this meaning, such as or the use of mulberry ash in the square, since the law is combined, both with winter ash and then Xuer. "Tang Ben" notes that the winter ash is quinoa ash, and I don't know what else to say. And the soup is burning, and the ashes in the cake oven are fine, and the fat and sesame oil are mixed, and the feathers are swept away, and the water is not touched, but it is still sheltered from the wind. ”

The "Compendium" of Li Shizhen, a great medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, also recorded this: "Winter ash is the ash of firewood burned in the stove in the winter moon." It refers specifically to the ashes of Artemisia terrestris, and it is not necessarily. Originally, a quinoa ash, raw Fang Tani Kawasawa, was very incomprehensible. This ash is not suitable for Chuan Ze, and it is not the only valley that there is. Today, people use ash to pour juice, take alkali and, make the face clear, cure sores and erode the flesh. ”

……

It can be seen that the role of plant ash is great.

And those who have seen Bei Ye's wilderness survival also know that plant ash can be applied to the bare body and face, which can effectively prevent sun burns and mosquito bites, which is undoubtedly a savior for Jiang Liuer.

The mainly alkaline plant ash can also neutralize some of the acidic substances produced by ant bites, and further reduce the itching and discomfort of the body.

Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, Jiang Liu'er directly grabbed the grass and wood ash around him and wiped it on his bare position and face, and at the same time, the carbon-like grass ash of different thicknesses rubbed the insect bite site to relieve the itchy feeling, which made him moan and exclaim!

"Cool!"

Jiang Liu'er shouted, regardless of whether anyone else could hear it.

If I had taken this approach last night, I guess I wouldn't have been bitten all over the bag, as if I had planted a lottery ticket.

And what he is looking forward to now is whether he can reappear in the rivers and lakes again and cure his little red spots like measles all over his body, which he has seen before.

Otherwise, how can I meet people?

Although there may not be people here, the image still needs to be paid more attention.

After all, we still have to rely on our faces to eat.

With a decision in his heart, Jiang Liu'er began to do his best to see if he could stimulate the magical effect of the little green fruit again.
