Chapter 287: Ghost Needle Grass
Mosquito repellent things, more familiar are all kinds of insect repellent and mosquito coils, which can be seen everywhere in modern times, everywhere.
Without the above two things, most people will think of mosquito repellent grass.
The mosquito repellent grass on the market mainly refers to the genetically modified geranium geranium, but in order to sound good, remember and sell, it is directly called mosquito repellent grass.
But in fact, it is impossible to ask Wang Yang to make a bunch of genetically modified organisms at present.
If you don't have these ready-made mosquito repellent methods, you don't have to panic, mosquitoes, no matter how powerful they are, they are mosquitoes, and they can't deal with smart humans.
Wang Yang has a variety of ways to repel mosquitoes, depending on whether there are props and tools.
The simplest is the light method.
Animals are afraid of fire, but some animals will be close to light and fire sources at a certain distance, and they like heat.
For example, it is common for snakes, which are ectotherms, to burn a little fire at night and attract a few snakes.
Often in the middle of the night, the adults patrolling are not the beasts of the embankment, but the snakes that approach the embankment.
Sometimes wild beasts will come out and try to attack people, and then they will meet the snakes and fight.
And some animals that like to eat snakes will also take the opportunity to get close to this place and catch snakes.
So at night, they would light four small fires farther away from the shed, providing an open battlefield for the snakes and snake catchers.
The next day, it is common to find one or two snakes next to one of the small fires.
Some snakes also eat snakes, so sometimes you can see two snakes swallowing each other.
These are the life experiences that everyone has summed up in the forest, and they are very valuable.
Mosquitoes also like light. You'll find out in the dead of night. On the white light bar, there are always many mosquitoes resting on it.
If you turn off the lights. Take a mobile phone to read a novel, and the mosquitoes will fly to your mobile phone from time to time, leaving you speechless for a while.
Generally, in the wild, you can build a bonfire outside, hide away and sleep, and the harassment of mosquitoes will be relatively less.
Wang Yang They can't just light a fire outside, and there will be a fire in the middle of their shed, so that the night watchman can keep an eye on everyone at all times.
This is equivalent to lighting a lamp for mosquitoes, and you can't even think about it.
So. The light method will be excluded by Wang Yang.
In his thoughts, he planned to do the first step of mosquito repellent, sugar water tactics.
What kind of mosquitoes, flies, small flying insects are easily attracted by sugar water, and can't help but fly in, and then drown in it because it is too sticky.
So, where to find sugar? Or, where to find sugar water?
He smiled mysteriously, and there was only such a rhetorical question in his heart, is the fruit sweet?
Fruit sweet! The fruit is of course sweet. The reason why people love fruit so much is because it tastes so good.
The sweetest and most sugary of these is sugar cane.
Wang Yang grows sugar cane. I plan to make sugar in the future.
Now that sugarcane has not grown on a large scale, and large-scale sugar production is not so urgent, Wang Yang will not make sugar now.
But it's still okay to make some sticky sugar water.
I saw that he cut two sugar canes. Take the stones and smash them to make a lot of sugar cane juice, and then put it on the fire and boil it slowly.
It didn't last long. The sugar water shrinks significantly and becomes thicker. It has a faint sweet fragrance and layers of yellow foam on the surface.
After boiling for a while, there was a burning smell from the bottom, and it was burnt.
If you boil it any longer, wait for the juice to continue to shrink and crystallize after cooling, and it will become a veritable caramel.
This means that Wang Yang just ignores it, not really making sugar, otherwise, there will have to be other processes.
He extinguished the fire, took a branch, stirred it into the yellow bubble cane sugar juice, and then picked up the branch, and saw a sticky juice pulled up, like lotus silk, and was reluctant to break.
"It's so sticky, it's really going in and dying the other."
He set the pot aside and told the crowd not to eat it, and then came to the cliff face of the cyan clay mine.
Walk over to a weed and pull out a half-human-tall plant.
The stalk was very thin, and the leaves were not large, with three leaves stretched out, green and smooth, without fine hairs.
This plant is called Phalloidal needle, and it is a very common plant that often grows on the side of the road in the mountains.
Luckily, there is a cliff that many large trees can't grow here, leaving them with a chance to breathe.
He picked several plants and brought them back.
The effect of the ghost needle herb is generally used as medicine, and it is regarded as a very common traditional Chinese medicine, and the effect is also wide.
It can cure malaria, high blood pressure, low back pain, bruises, colds, fevers, and sore throats.
Of course, the above all need to be reconciled with other traditional Chinese medicines, and whether it is really so magical, Wang Yang is also very skeptical, maybe it is another advertisement?
Wang Yang has never had those messy diseases, and even if he did, he had never tried it with this ghost needle grass.
In my previous life, when I was in the countryside, I had seen snake venom used by villagers to treat certain snakes, or applied to the surface of broken wounds, and once I was bitten by a dog, and I also used this thing to compress.
If you divide the herbs that he knows the Tao of, then the thistle is a natural band-aid, and this thing is snake poison.
He took this, naturally, not as a snake venom, snake venom is divided into types, what blood circulation toxins, neurotoxins, mixed toxins, can not cure all diseases.
He'll use this, still when he's in the country.
At that time, mosquito coils were not popular, and grandpa and they didn't think about using mosquito coils.
For them, Needle Phalloides is a natural mosquito coil.
Generally, before going to bed, burn a plant of ghost needle grass to drive mosquitoes out of the room, and then put down a white tulle mosquito net, so that you will not be bitten all night.
Wang Yang doesn't have a mosquito net, but it doesn't matter, he can burn the ghost needle grass overnight.
That night, before going to bed, Wang Yang did just that.
The night was no different from before, the mosquitoes were noisy and buzzing. Clearly tell everyone that Lao Tzu wants to suck blood.
Before falling asleep, everyone will know how uncomfortable the mosquitoes are. Take a bite of a bud and itch overnight.
Everyone is really helpless and helpless about this little flying insect. I can only stand up one by one, I feel that there are mosquitoes approaching, and I suddenly slapped my hands, and it was good to be able to shoot, but I couldn't shoot and my hands were numb.
"Buzz~" The mosquitoes are still flying around in their own way, and the companions who were killed by everyone can't make them afraid at all, but the faint smell of blood stimulates their madness even more.
The crowd was also mad. Red eyes and they confront, constantly shooting.
They are extremely depressed, originally because of more hair, contaminated with fleas and lice, extremely itchy, and now they have to be bitten by mosquitoes, at the end of the day, how much blood must be sucked away!
I don't know the ancients, a drop of blood. Three years of rice!
The mosquitoes don't care about this, and if they really want to make a coat out of their morals, they will probably say, "This is to promote your blood circulation system and suck away old blood." Replenish new blood, refresh vitality every day, and suck healthier. ”
"Smack...... Syllable...... Syllable! One after another, the applause came like firecrackers. With everyone's annoyed and angry expressions, it is enough to imagine how hateful the mosquitoes are.
"Woo!" Laughing at her body, smooth and hairless. In the attack of mosquitoes, it is like a flat boat on the waves. Swaying and swaying, I can't eat at all.
He ran to Wang Yang, gesturing with a "woo", wanting to go back to the wheat field.
Wang Yang smiled mysteriously, took the cooled, viscous sugar water, and put it under a fire in front of him.
Then he took a few plants of ghost needle grass and put them on top of the flames.
"Woo!" Xiaoxiao asked him what he was doing.
Wang Yang just didn't answer, and quietly waited for the ghost needle grass to burn.
The emerald green leaves quickly withered and yellowed in the flames, and a little spark burst out, and then a puff of white smoke, like clouds, rolled to the top of the shed and spread in all directions.
"Buzz!" At this moment, the mosquitoes suddenly went crazy, screaming very loudly, and the sound of flapping their wings suddenly became dense, like a raging storm, blindly flying around.
Everyone was startled and scolded, not knowing what was going on, they only felt that the mosquitoes in front of them suddenly became incomparably large, jumping around, and they didn't dare to open their eyes at all.
"Bang Bang!" Everyone closed their eyes and clapped their hands vigorously, only to feel that their hands were getting stickier and stickier, and it can be imagined that many mosquitoes were killed in this slap.
The smoke grew larger and wider, filling the shed.
Suddenly, the army of mosquitoes receded like a tidal wave, as if pushed away by an invisible slap.
The sound of mosquitoes slowly became smaller in their ears, and then disappeared, and everyone opened their eyes and looked around in amazement, where was there still a mosquito?
They looked outside, only to see a faint smoke drifting out of the place, and the mosquitoes retreated, as if they had encountered snakes and scorpions.
Gee...... What's the situation?
Without exception, everyone couldn't help but look at Wang Yang, only he could do something particularly magical.
I saw that he had a few grasses in his hand, set them on fire, and then took them out to blow out the fire, so that it would not burn out, but only let it continue to spread smoke.
Is that the smoke from those plants the work?
The crowd gathered around.
Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, looking at the plants, suddenly his big black eyes turned, and he smiled while picking up the plants.
The others immediately discovered her intentions and pulled her out of the crowd and prevented her from entering.
Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and glanced at the mosquitoes outside, and finally fell on the pot of sugar water.
touched his chin and said secretly: "It's really easy to use, this smoking method does have an effect, but I don't know how many mosquitoes can be killed by that bowl of sugar water?" ”
He drew a few pictures to the crowd to illustrate the mosquito repellent effect of this plant.
And tell everyone that if anyone is bitten by a snake, he should go and pick a few ghost needle plants, apply them externally, and use them internally.
Anyway, if you are really bitten by a poisonous snake, you can't survive, and at this time, without a metal knife, you can't amputate your leg quickly and decisively. (To be continued......)
PS: Sure enough, it's still a 3,000-word chapter that is written smoothly, but it's a bit stressful, and it's rare to ask for a ticket.
In the future, at the end of the chapter, I basically don't write a request for votes or anything, so as not to affect the reading.
