59. Blood as a medium
The sound of the worm is the same as "words".
Survive in places where sunlight is scarce, such as tombs, underground palaces, dry wells, and caves.
It feeds on living creatures with red blood.
When food is scarce, thousands of them sleep together, as strong as a wall. And at this time, do not think that they are really dormant, but whenever they sense the temperature of a living creature, they will wake up as soon as possible, and rush to the living creature like a heap of sand until it is eaten clean, and even on the white bones, there are still stained tooth marks.
And when they are full, they will become lively and dig holes everywhere, and there will be endless disasters.
Yuan Po said that the excavation of this underground city was due to the hard work of this insect.
If the number is too large, it will be massacred once. However, because of the structure of the shell, the adult runs very fast, so the fire is flooded, and the knife is chopped with an axe, and the effect is poor.
Finally, an excellent method was found - poisoning with mercury.
Mercury????
I can't help but think of the mercury in the triangle house of Six Feet Lane, could it be that there are a lot of bugs in need of it recently sanitize......
My mind was pulled back by my mother-in-law, and I listened to her talk about it.
In order to make good use of this bug, its population must be strictly controlled.
Fortunately, its eggs need to be bathed in human blood before they can hatch. And the eggs are only laid once in a lifetime, and those that have not had time to be collected have died. Even if they are collected, the maintenance of their lives is extremely complicated until they find their owners.
As a result, most of the insects died before they hatched. And he who drinks the blood recognizes it as his master, and he will recognize the taste of his master for the rest of his life.
Therefore, the worm lives for a lifetime, ten years, and if it meets its master, it will not be injured.
I pouted, "However, there is only one wooden box egg, even if they grow up and don't hurt me, what if I meet adults from other groups?" β
The mother-in-law smiled: "There are only so many eggs left in this world." β
"I drank the blood of the dodder today, and it hatched within a month. Don't look at the size of a pea now, when it gradually grows, it can be like a small ingot. β
When I heard about this size, I just panicked, and then asked: How many of them will grow? β
The mother-in-law pointed to the room: "Oh~, our room is so high and low, if they hug each other, it should be a foot thick." β
I was surprised by Sakuraguchi Madohari: "What is my mother-in-law going to do with them?" β
"Send them somewhere, watch over the same secrets. It can be described as a living 'big stone gate', which makes the best use of things. It's another ten years, the old worms are dying, and these little things are about to come in handy! So my mother-in-law said that your blood is the key! β
I said in a sweet tone: "Mother-in-law, what secret?" β
But she pulled the quilt, went down bald, and got into the quilt: "Okay, my mother-in-law's story will end here, sleep~~"
I didn't follow and shook her: "Say, let's say, mother-in-law is the best." β
But the snoring suddenly came, and it was so quick that it was ......
I got a little angry and muttered, "Humph! Obviously trying to restrain Aunt Su, she pulled me into the water again! β
The man who was pretending to be asleep woke up, pressed me into the bed, and half-coaxed and half-reprimanded: "Don't think much! This matter is not harmful to you and Aunt Su, or even more generally. Sleep! β
The oil lamp in front of the bed burned the last drop and went out.
The moonlight in the bedroom gradually brightened, and I repeatedly confirmed that I was back in my mother-in-law's house on the ground, and not in the dungeon, before I slowly relaxed, my breathing gradually became longer, and my eyelids gradually sank.
On this day, twelve hours, from having nightmares to having my fingers cut off, crying three times in a row, I suddenly felt a change in my personality. What's going on? Why do you cry......
I don't think about the bedtime ritual of life, I am always "imperfect", thinking about it, exhausting the last bit of physical strength, and my consciousness is like an egg that has broken its shell, and it has a bed and flows into a dream.
When I got up the next day, I was pressed to the dresser, and my mother-in-law combed my hair herself.
While gently combing her hair, she said in pieces: "The little palace maid and the little female official, each of them are snails, either single or double snails. I know that you have been out on an errand recently and want to change your style, but it is better to comb a hundred flowers and buns that suit your age and identity. β
"Okay, mother-in-law."
"If your Aunt Su says a word in the future, you can't pay her back. When my mother-in-law was younger, she was also vigorous, and she executed a few little girls who had committed crimes, but now that she is older, she only feels guilty when she thinks about it. β
"Okay, mother-in-law."
Dealing with the "bitter heart" of the elders, I just agreed, and I was used to going in the left ear and out of the right ear.
But speaking of which, I finally understood that my mother-in-law was a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person, and she was obviously very considerate of her aunt, but she didn't listen to a word of what she said.
Looking at the mother-in-law's meticulous technique in front of the bronze mirror, the so-called Hundred Flowers Bun is to divide the hair that gathers on the top of the head into two, and knot a ring on the left and right. Pull out a sense of softness and petiteness, and look childish.
If the official does not reach the third grade, he is not eligible to use a wig. Therefore, the hairstyle only relies on its own little hair, which is completely limited. If it weren't for the credit of shavings water shaping, I was afraid that no matter how simple the pattern was, I would not be able to pinch it, so I could only lie on my stomach and droop on the top of my head.
My mother-in-law took out a brocade box from the bottom of the box, took out an eye-catching pink tourmaline grape hairpin, and put it on top of the bun ring with me.
"The first time I saw Su'er, it was a heart-to-heart chat."
I didn't like flowery headdresses until I saw this one. Under a few green leaves is a bunch of light rosΓ© grapes, the color scheme is not vulgar and extremely elegant. Makeup on the hair, the grapes shook gently, I only felt beautiful and smart, and when I saw it, it was like eating the sweet and sour grapes~
I pressed the tip of my tongue against my front teeth and looked at myself in the mirror left and right, looking like I was admiring myself.
My mother-in-law put her arm around my shoulders, leaned her head over, and said with a smile: "Why are my eyes inherently a little sad, but if this small mouth is a little bit of Zhu Mo, when it is matched, I see pity, and I don't want to hurt when I look at it." However, you have to hurry up and grow longer. β
"It's not, I can't bear to hurt because the person who looks at it is good, if that person is vicious, he will only think it's cheap."
"Oh? It's quite insightful. β
I rolled my eyes: "Mother-in-law, are you usually alone?" Will you be lonely? β
The mother-in-law's smile did not decrease, but a coldness flashed in her eyes: "I have been on an errand in the palace for most of my life, where did I think that I would be able to live out of the palace one day, but recently I have been thinking, it is better to finish the matter at hand and go to the old master." β
"You mean, Queen Mother?"
The mother-in-law nodded: "The morning bell and the dusk drum are also the destination." β
"That mother-in-law and Su'er have the same thoughts!"
My mother-in-law pointed at my head: "Okay, you will be a little nun in the future, and my mother-in-law will prepare a meditation room for you." β
In the mirror, we laughed happily.
On this day, my mother-in-law's business was exceptionally good, and customers kept coming to talk about things, and I was outside the store for a day of teasing cats and dogs.
When Aunt Su's figure was stretched by the setting sun and walked to my side, I was holding a small handful of pebbles, squatting in front of the railing, and throwing them into the vases of the porcelain stall downstairs one by one.
Practicing your head is a good way to strengthen your concentration.
I vaguely felt that someone was getting closer and closer, and I glanced at it, and then I shivered slightly, and went straight from a squatting position to a kneeling position. (Oops, I'm a coward...... Because you kneel too much, do you not kneel properly? Wake up)
"Auntie is well."
I cautiously greeted and didn't look up.
Wen Aunt smiled: "It's such a big gift today!" Is it fun? If you like to play like this, my aunt will take you to buy a set of stubborn darts. β
Well? A wave of pampering came suddenly.
I raised half of my eyes and immediately retracted them, and whispered, "Thank you, Auntie." β
It's just a few slaps, but it's not to hold a grudge, but the emotional line in my brain that is connected to my aunt was a little tired yesterday, so I want to take a break for a while.
Aunt Su led me to say goodbye to Yuan Po. When these two mothers and daughters see each other again today, they are not as swords and swords as they were yesterday, and they are a lot calmer.
My mother-in-law pushed me to her side: "Oh, the child will be returned as it is." The key you want to know, tell you! β
The stars in my aunt's eyes bloomed, and she was blessed to the end: "Daughter, thank you mother for her compassion." β
The mother-in-law waved her hand: "Get up, get up!" Don't worry about thanks, go back quickly! β
turned to look at me again: "You have to come to see your mother-in-law often!" β
Now I don't like parting, I just smile cutely: "That's natural, I have to come to ask for pocket money!" β
