The Great Wilderness shows its bountiful side in the summer, but it also reveals its most disgusting side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are three pests in the wilderness: small bites, gadflies, and mosquitoes. They're always making trouble for the pioneers.

Morning and dusk are the world of small bites. The crowds were like smoke and fog, silent.

They are much smaller than mosquitoes and specialize in biting thin skin. If you don't scratch it, it's so itchy that it will swell up a big bag if you scratch it, and it won't go down for a few days.

Small bites are everywhere, swarms hovering overhead, and if they pounce on them, they will breathe and pant for breath are insects!

Therefore, no matter how hot the day is, you must wear long pants and gowns when working in the fields, and tie the cuffs of your trouser legs tightly. Even so, his body was still covered with insects, and a slap could kill twenty or thirty of them.

If you accidentally expose your skin, you will be bitten and stacked like a meat bun.

Before the exiles came to the Great Wilderness, they heard that insects were terrible, and they all bought mosquito nets and mosquito hats.

The mosquito-proof hat is to hang a curtain on the outer edge of the hat, which is not only like a knight, but also like a beekeeper, but it cannot be completely prevented. There are often people whose mouths are bitten crookedly, their eyes are bitten and swollen, their hair is itchy and disturbing, and their heads are full of bags like Buddha's heads.

In severe cases, they may also get sick and have a fever.

The only thing that can be done is to burn the grass and smoke it, but the effect is not obvious.

They appear before the morning dew is dry, disappear at noon, and when the heat of the sun dissipates, they come out again to make waves.

At noon, when the heat is at its highest, gadflies are rampant. No matter how tightly the clothes are wrapped, it is useless, the thick cowhide can be stabbed, how to talk about human beings!

They are like large flies, extremely ferocious, not as numerous as mosquitoes, but fast and lethal.

Once, Jin Tong had just finished lunch and went to hunt sheep grass when he heard a group of gadflies buzzing like an airplane diving.

After a bite, he shivered, and within a long time, there were more than a dozen places on his back and thighs like pins and needles, and he grinned in pain.

Jin Tong was so angry that he picked up the hunting knife, swung it back and forth, and heard a crackling sound. Shoot down dozens of them in a while!

When he returned, he took off his clothes and checked on them, and the skin was torn off in several places, and he was bleeding.

Not only Jintong, but many people were bitten by gadflies when they were working shifts in farmland and pastures.

After Li Jiantong's death, He Xinru, the only medical student, prescribed a treatment plan.

50 grams of cork, sophora radix, and rhubarb are each boiled and cooled and then applied to the swollen area, which is a prescription.

Picking herbs has been routinely done, but rhubarb, a flavored medicine, is not produced in the wasteland. After he considered it, he replaced it with prunella, and the effect was unsatisfactory, and it was better than nothing.

Li Xiaoxia was once seriously bitten by a gadfly, and the skin on her calves was eroded and watery, and Wu Rui was worried.

Lacking medicine, He Xinru had no choice but to suggest cold compresses. Wu Rui soaked the towel in the cold water that had just been dug out of the well, soaked it in ice and then applied a cold compress, and took care of her undressed.

After not getting better for several days, Wu Rui pulled He Xinru and asked what else he could do.

He Xinru said that he had read a book of prescriptions, and there was an "eight-flavor cleansing cream" in it, which seemed to be symptomatic. But many medicines are not available in the wilderness.

Wu Rui begged him to try other herbal alternatives.

Two days later, He Xinru made a medicinal powder and baked it by the kitchen fire.

Jin Tong, who was cooking next to him, was a little worried when he saw him adding quicklime to the medicine, "Lime is also used in medicine?" Will it work? ”

He Xinru said with a smile: "I make this ointment, and several ingredients are replaced with similar medicinal properties, and I don't know how much curative effect is left." This lime powder is originally in the recipe! ”

He dried and sieved the medicinal powder, mixed it into a paste, and handed it to Wu Rui.

Wu Rui wiped Li Xiaoyan's wound with clean gauze and applied a thin layer of plaster five times a day. A few days later, he was cured.

Wu Rui hugged He Xinru excitedly and vowed to help him publish a "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" in the future.

In addition to gadfly, mosquitoes also occasionally come out to hang out during the day, but they are still the most rampant at night.

Whenever the sun sets, mosquitoes take off in swarms from the barren meadows and attack in an overwhelming manner.

As a result, the farmland group ends work in the evening, often falling into a situation of ridiculousness.

People are running desperately in front, and dark clouds of mosquitoes are chasing behind. Suddenly, the person stopped, squatted on the ground, and the chasing mosquito group rushed overhead and continued to move forward.

The cloud of mosquitoes that have lost their target will temporarily disperse and turn into mist, and people will take advantage of the brief opportunity to get up and rush again. The mosquitoes found their target, regrouped into groups, and chased after them. It is repeated many times before the person can reach the dormitory.

These mosquitoes are fast, not afraid of death, extremely greedy, once they bite people, their stomachs are extremely red and swollen, and they can't go away with a bang, and they can be easily pinched to death.

They are not only greedy, but also poisonous. Even if the skin is scratched after being bitten, it is still itchy, and I can't wait to dig out the flesh.

The only means of repelling mosquitoes are wind and smoke. For any outdoor activity at night, you have to burn a few piles of grass around and add a handful of wet artemisia, which is thick and choking to be effective. If the wind direction changes, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

The indoor is not much better, you must first light the grass when you go to the toilet, and you can safely reincarnate the grains in the smoke; When taking a bath and wiping your body, you have to keep beating, which is called "mosquito repellent exercise"; Mosquitoes often land in the bowl when eating, and those who see it are picked out, but they can't be seen and they should be added.

If it's okay at night, Jin Tong will hurry up and drill a mosquito net. The mosquito net is covered with mosquitoes, and the wings vibrate like white noise, which is a natural hypnosis.

If you accidentally kick off the mosquito net, it's bad. Mosquitoes crept in through the cracks and chirped in their ears. When the oil lamps are lit, they disappear again, turn off the lights, and begin to hum and taunt again, entangled to the end.

Cao Dong was so hated one night that he lit the lamp and exposed his arms under the mosquito net for the mosquitoes to suck them. After a few mosquitoes were hooked, he clenched his fists violently, his muscles tensed, and the mosquitoes could not escape.

Then he carefully cut off the mosquito's feet and mouthparts one by one, so that it could not fall, could not suck blood, and could only keep flying.

He laughed like a demon king, "Fly! Fly! Exhaust you bastards! ”

The Pioneers' greeting every morning became "Did you pack less today?" "This slight nervousness is nothing.

At the meeting, Wu Rui once told a story about mosquitoes, about the pioneer era of Xingliao Company.

At that time, in order to encourage capital to invest in the Northeast immigration plan, Taizu let many large consortia acquire land at a low price.

After the Xingliao Company built a large farm, it responded to the emperor's call to recruit landless farmers in Guannai and transform them into agricultural workers. Because the wages are too low, some people want to go directly to the Reclamation Bureau to report to the reclamation bureau and become homesteaders.

The Xingliao Company contributed a lot of money to the immigrants, and it could not tolerate these people running away, so the security team went out in all directions to arrest the escaped workers.

The terrible reputation of the Xingliao security team for curing children's night cries was passed down at that time.

Those who have been caught repeatedly escaping have a kind of punishment of "feeding mosquitoes", which is to strip off their clothes and tie them to a big tree in the field to let mosquitoes bite.

The food is delivered to your door, and of course a large group of mosquitoes will not be missed. The originally smooth person immediately seemed to have a layer of brown fluff, and his eyebrows and eyes were no longer visible. Little by little, the brown color turned pink and red, and in less than a minute, a bright red and translucent bloody man appeared.

But that's not the end, every once in a while, the security guards will use fans to drive away all the blood-soaked mosquitoes, and replace them with a batch of new ones, so that the brown mosquitoes will turn red again.

After a few rounds, the escapees were sucked dry.

This story frightened many girls.

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" Jin Tong was a little unconvinced.

"It's really an exaggeration," Wu Rui's expression was solemn, "From a biological point of view, it is impossible to absorb dry." The human skin has a limited surface area and can accommodate up to 15,000 mosquitoes sucking blood at a time. Based on the amount of blood lost, 400,000 mosquitoes can suck people to death one after another. However, mosquitoes will first inject some anti-hemagglutinin into the blood, causing the connective tissue to fill with water, forming redness and swelling. The red and swollen areas cannot be sucked in blood. ”

Li Xiaoyan said with interest: "It is hard enough to ask the security team to find 27 mosquitoes." ”

"Isn't that just a bunch?" Jin Tong wondered.

"No, all I said was blood loss. There are really so many mosquitoes sucking blood at the same time, edema and itching are enough to kill, and it is likely to be anaphylactic shock, which can be regarded as death from poisoning. ”

Wu Rui said that this story is not to talk about mosquitoes, "Capital came to the world, dripping blood and filth from head to toe from every pore. Xu Guogong's Xingliao consortium is a large group second only to the imperial family, and it can only be today, relying only on the emperor's favor? Technological advancement? ”

"They rely on the same bloody exploitation as the capitalists all over the world, and they do more dirty things, not less!"

Since the discovery of the coal mine, everyone has more or less looked forward to the "pardon" and wanted to follow the path of Xu Guogong. Therefore, in daily speech, there are some inappropriate tendencies, and Wu Rui will deliberately expose the bottom of the Xingliao Group and unify his thoughts.

The special seminar has not been held for a long time, and the theory is mostly talked about at the work summary meeting, and it is mainly a less difficult and easy topic, after all, the summer of the great wilderness is really torturous.

Often when I was working, some girls were forced to cry by insects, but after crying, they still had to do what they should do to ensure that the task was completed.

Jin Jing was sometimes bitten hard by mosquitoes, and she didn't cry, so she shouted to the sky, "Jin Tong! I hate you! ”

Jin Tong never refuted, but asked He Xinru to take herbs and mash them into juice.

As soon as he came to his sister with a broken bowl containing medicinal juice, Jin Jing sat down angrily, and let his brother rub the pungent smell of juice on his body. By the time she had finished applying the potion, her anger had subsided.
