Chapter Eighty-Six: Can You Really Kill Leeches?
With the stimulation of the fire, coupled with the gentle patting of the day, the three leeches quickly fell off Bai Mo's legs on their own.
"Mo'er, how is it, does it still hurt?"
"It's okay, mother, I don't hurt anymore." Looking at the worry on Zhang's face, Bai Mo hurriedly showed a smile.
Bai Jinli looked at several edematous pimples at Bai Mo's wound, accompanied by a trace of bleeding, and took out a bottle of medicinal powder from her arms and handed it over.
"Sister-in-law, help him squeeze the bleeding there, and then put some medicine."
"Okay, thank you, pear." Zhang took the medicine bottle, squeezed out the dirty blood, and sprinkled the medicine powder on it.
It wasn't a major injury, and it didn't take long for Bai Mo to regain his activity.
He also wanted to continue planting seedlings, but was stopped by Bai Yi and Zhang.
Bai Jasmine was a little jealous when she saw this, why didn't she let her rest.
She was a girl, and she had to come down to work, and her legs were covered with mud, what did she look like.
I really don't know what grandma thinks, obviously she is a girl like my sister-in-law, why don't I know how to love her.
Fortunately, they only need to help for two or three days, and when the planting is over, they don't have to work in the fields.
I wish the time was passing soon.
Bai Jinli looked at the environment of the paddy field, and then asked Bai Mo.
"Bai Mo, are there many leeches in the paddy fields?"
"Sister-in-law, of course there are a lot of leeches in the paddy fields, and we used to think about catching them when we were fine. But when I found out that they were ugly and sucked human blood, I didn't like them.
This is the first time I've been bitten, my dad and they have also been bitten, it's no big deal, I'm already fine, why don't you let me go down. “
Hearing this, Bai Jinli began to recall the way to deal with leeches.
This creature often hides and feeds on human blood when people are not looking.
It looks like a small iron nail, thin at one end and thick at the end, with suction cups at both ends, which are difficult to remove once they are touched.
Moreover, it is still a soft creature, if it is a little disgusting if you hold it in your hand, the harder you pull it, the more it will burrow into the flesh.
If it is torn off, the wound will continue to bleed and it will be difficult to stop.
Sprinkle them with salt and vinegar, and they will soon be scared, and they can be burned with fire.
But the question now is how to deal with the leeches in the paddy fields and make them stop.
Otherwise, Bai Mo will be bitten today, and who will be bitten tomorrow.
It's okay to put your pants and legs in your pants with your practical socks, so that the leeches can't bite them.
But the problem is that they have to work in the paddy fields all the time to plant rice, and if they do that, the lower legs will be very heavy, which will especially affect the work.
Yes, you can use lime water!
Leeches like to live in paddy fields with acidic soil, and if you sprinkle some lime into it, you can control the pH value of the water in it, which can prevent leeches from growing and reproducing.
Once the leech is infected with lime, it will soon festered and died, and the acidity and alkalinity of lime can only be maintained for a short period of time, and it can be diffused and desalined after killing the leech, and it also has a good improvement effect on the soil of the paddy field after desalination.
"Bai Mo, do you know where there is quicklime?" Thinking of this, Bai Jinli asked.
"Quicklime? What's that, sister-in-law? Bai Mo's face was confused.
"Isn't there here? Big brother, second brother, do you know where there is quicklime? Bai Jinli went to ask Bai Yi and Bai Qi again.
"What quicklime? What's that? ”
"Quicklime? Haven't heard of it. ”
"Okay, then I know, Bai Mo, you come with me." Bai Jinli nodded when she knew, shouted Bai Mo turned around and left.
"Hey, sister-in-law, it's here." Bai Mo hurriedly followed.
Since there was no quicklime here, she burned some quicklime.
When she entered the mountain before, she had seen limestone on the road beside her, and with those limestones, she could burn the lime by firing them at high temperatures.
When the time comes, the burned lime will be sprinkled into the paddy fields, and then the problem of leeches will be solved.
Bai Jinli led Bai Mo to find the limestone on the side of the road, and was carrying those things to the old house, when she saw that the second fat also appeared.
With Erfat's help, they made quicklime a little faster.
After an afternoon of tossing and turning, they succeeded in burning quicklime.
Erfat and Bai Mo looked at the white powder, and didn't understand why Bai Jinli spent so much time and energy to get these things.
Bai Jinli didn't say much, and the quicklime burned out made her a little happy.
Tired for so long, she was going to take a breath and take out the green wheat that had been folded from the wheat field, and she wanted to try roasting the wheat to taste.
After lighting a fire, Bai Jinli put the wheat on it and began to roast it. In just a few minutes, the intoxicating fragrance wafted out.
The wheat mangs were scorched, the ears of wheat were also blackened, and the air was filled with a mellow smell of wheat.
Put it in the palm of her hand and rub it, the wheat grains and the wheat husks are separated, Bai Jinli blew with her mouth, the wheat bran was blown away, looking at the green and black wheat grains in her hand, she tried to stuff them into her mouth.
"Wow, sister-in-law, this is delicious!" After chewing a few times, Bai Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Well, it's not bad." Bai Jinli also nodded.
The three of them were quite happy to eat, and then looked at their hands, black and black.
After washing her hands, seeing that it was not too early, Bai Jinli took out the key to the old house and handed it to Er Fat.
"Erfat, my mother and I are going out tomorrow, the key to my house is left here with you first, you remember to come over and help me water those flowers and vegetables."
"Okay, Boss, no problem." After taking the key, Er Fat inevitably had some feelings.
The boss was too relieved of him, so he gave him the key to an outsider without saying anything.
What does this mean, it shows that the boss trusts him.
After having this thought, Er Fat became more and more grateful and worshipful to Bai Jinli in his heart.
"Don't you think it's that easy? In addition to watering the flowers and the ground, I also put a set of paper, ink, pen and inkstone in that room, and you remember to help me write a few more words. After Bai Jinli finished speaking, she looked at Bai Mo again.
"And you, Bai Mo, don't forget the algorithms I taught you. And your words, I'll check it when I come back. ”
"Got it, sister-in-law." Bai Mo nodded obediently.
"Well, it's not too early, let's go back."
"Okay."
After locking the door, Bai Jinli and Bai Mo walked home with the quicklime they had put away.
When they returned home, the adults hadn't come back from the field yet, but Bai Jasmine and Bai Meng were arranged by them to come back to cook.
Because they ate well at noon, they made simple porridge and cakes in the afternoon.
After all, it's not Bai Jinli who cooks, Mrs. Li is at home, Bai Meng and Bai Jasmine really don't have the guts to waste rice like Bai Jinli.
Moreover, their cooking skills are not as good as Bai Jinli.
Not long after dinner was ready, it was getting dark, and they all came back from working in the fields.
After a simple dinner, Mrs. Li announced to everyone that she was going to take Bai Jinli to visit relatives.
Naturally, everyone didn't dare to have any objections, and told them to pay more attention and go home early.
In fact, after hearing the news, Bai Jasmine and the others were faintly excited, even the honest Bai Yi.
Mrs. Li, who loves to scold people every day, is leaving, and she is still taking Bai Jinli with her, so won't they have to be free for a few days?
Who doesn't know that in the past, once Mrs. Li wants to go to her relatives, she has to go for at least two or three days.
In the past few days since she left, she can be regarded as able to take a breath, and she is not too happy.
"Don't think that I can relax when I'm gone, and if I come back and find that you are lazy and don't work, see if I don't kill you?" Mrs. Li snorted.
"Mother, look at what you said, we all expect the crops in the field to live, who dares to be lazy." Bai Qi hurriedly spoke.
"Hmph, I've seen all the rice and noodles in the kitchen, and in the past few days when I'm away from Pear, you all save a little, don't waste food." Mrs. Li fell on the Zhang family and the Niu family again.
"Mother, don't worry." The two of them nodded obediently.
"Second daughter-in-law, you go and make another cake, and I will take the pear and eat it on the way."
"Okay, I'll go." Niu nodded and went into the kitchen to get busy.
"Second sister-in-law, remember to put an egg when you pancake, it's hard work." Bai Jinli advised.
"Got it, pear, don't worry."
After arranging everything, Mrs. Li told Bai Jinli for a while, and then returned to her house.
"Big brother, second brother, I have something to tell you."
"Little sister, what's the matter?" Bai Yi couldn't help but be curious.
"What's the matter, little sister, what do you want to say? I'm listening. Bai Qi also walked over.
"When you go to the paddy fields tomorrow, sprinkle some of these quicklime into it, sprinkle a little bit on each section of the road, and don't touch it directly with your hands when you sprinkle it, this can kill the leeches in the paddy fields, don't sprinkle too much."
"Little sister, can this thing really kill leeches?" Daylight asked, pointing to the white powder.
"Why don't you try it?"
"yes, okay. The leeches have always been annoying, and if you can really kill them, it will be a good thing, and it will be easier to work in the paddy fields in the future. Bai Yi nodded and decided to try it the next day.
"Little sister, where did you get this thing?" Bai Qi asked, pointing to the quicklimes.
"What, second brother, are you curious? Just burn it. ”
"Burned, burned?" Seeing Bai Jinli turn around and go back to the house, Bai Tianqi touched his head and expressed his doubts.
Because she was going to leave early the next morning, Bai Jinli put on a mask and fell asleep after washing.
Going to bed early can beautify your beauty and get you up early.
Before dawn, Bai Jinli got up to exercise, wash her face and brush her teeth, and then changed her clothes and simply put on makeup.
The dress that Zhang helped her make is a beige white jacket skirt with a navy blue bottom, and the fabric is not too good, but it is still very different from the coarse cloth she wears every day.
After all, it is a new dress, and Zhang's craftsmanship is so good, the cut and version are very slim.
There are also embroideries on the skirt, which looks very vivid and beautiful.
