Chapter 43: The Rotten Fire

A group of four people walked on the sheep intestine path, and there was a green mountain forest in sight, but there were many tall plants, on which hung full corn fruits, and the outside was greenish-yellow coating, but the flowers had withered and decayed, and they were weakly towering on the coating, but this was a manifestation of corn maturity. If the corn is still vigorous and green, it is tender corn, not yet ripe and cannot be harvested. However, the tender corn is turned back and cooked in a pressure cooker with water, which is really a delicious snack, but it is fresh and sweet. There are also young corn plants, gnaw off the husk, can be eaten as sugar cane, although it is not as sweet, but there is another fresh breath.

The corn harvest came from near and far, and soon the group came to the nearest cornfield. Li Hansheng put down the flat shoulder and bag, and straightened the straw hat on his head. Walking over, he grabbed the coating with his hand and pulled it to the sides, revealing the golden corn cob. The tender corn is pale yellow and juicy, while the ripe corn is golden and hard, and it has a heavy and full feeling when you grasp it with your hand.

He pulled off the corn cob and threw it to the side of the clearing, just as he was about to pull the second one. Uncle's voice sounded, "Hansheng wait, let's cut off the tip of this corn with a knife first, there are a lot of insects on the corn stalks in summer, and if you don't cut it off, it will be troublesome and it will be very itchy."

"Oh, okay." Li Hansheng immediately stopped, it would be terrible if he was bitten by an insect on such a hot day.

"There are only two knives, you drink some water here, wait a minute, my second brother and I will cut off the sharp points, and then pull the corn cob together."

Lin Zhangming saw that his father and uncle had gone, opened the lid of the kettle, drank water, and handed it to Li Hansheng, "Brother, you have to be careful when you pull corn." Your brother, when I pulled it last time, a bed bug landed on my hand, and I immediately had a lot of bubbles on my hand, hot and itchy, that kind of taste, it was really better to live than to die. “

Later, I heard my grandmother say that this kind of insect is called "fire rotten", which is poisonous. ”

Li Hansheng took the kettle and took a sip of water, looked at Lin Zhangming's palpitating expression, and smiled and quipped, "What kind of "fire rotten" is this, is it so exaggerated?" Haven't you always boasted that you are not afraid of heaven and earth? “

Lin Zhangming's mouth twitched, and he looked at this stupid brother with stupid eyes, "If you don't believe it, forget it, if you really meet it, it's too late for you to cry." ”

Li Hansheng looked at him angrily, and restrained his expression, "Just kidding, I will definitely pay attention to it, after all, no one wants to be bitten by insects." ”

Seeing that his uncle was about to finish chopping, he pulled Lin Zhangming, "Let's go and pull the corn first, and go back early after finishing it early." ”

The two of them competed with each other very fast, and with the arrival of two adults, the ground was soon full of corn cobs.

Li Hansheng was pulling up, and suddenly felt that something had fallen on the back of his neck, slippery and greasy, and was slipping down.

"Damn, what's that?" Li Hansheng scolded, reached into his clothes and caught it out, only to see a strange-shaped green worm with teeth and claws on his hand.

"What the hell?" Li Hansheng threw the little worm to the ground and trampled it to death.

Scratching your back with your hand, why is it so itchy, and it hurts so hotly? The skin on his back became pimples as he touched it, and his eyes widened suddenly.

"Damn, I won't be tricked like this."

"Chapter name, come and see, what kind of worm is this?"

Li Hansheng shouted angrily.

"What's wrong? Have you been bitten by a bug? Lin Zhangming hurriedly ran over, "Why are you so careless, let me see, what kind of worm is it?" ”

"Hansheng was bitten by a bug?" Lin Lie and Lin Yang rushed to the scene when they heard the sound, and they looked worried.

Lin Zhangming looked at the insect corpse on the ground, with a heavy sympathetic look on his face, "This is the "fire rotten", brother, your luck..., how do you feel?" ”

"Wow, my back is on fire...... It's obviously your crow's mouth, I haven't encountered it for so many years, and I met it as soon as you said it. Li Hansheng jumped to his feet, feeling that his whole body was about to be burned.

It turns out that this stupid guy really didn't exaggerate, this taste is ......, and I laughed at him just now.

"Zhang Ming, you take Hansheng back and ask your grandmother to rub some medicine." Lin Lie looked at Li Hansheng's painful appearance and made a decision.

"I'll make a few more trips with your second uncle, and just pick up the corn after it is finished.

"Okay." Lin Zhangming agreed, pulled Li Hansheng and ran down the mountain.

"Brother, wait for grandma to rub safflower oil on you, it will be very painful at first, and the wound will be even hotter, you can endure it a little, and it will be much better after half an hour."

"Good!" Li Hansheng gritted his teeth, trying his best to resist the waves of itching and pain.

......

"... Grandma, my brother was bitten by the "fire rotten", quickly rub him with safflower oil. Lin Zhangming pulled Li Hansheng to his grandmother and shouted anxiously.

"Ah, Hansheng was bitten by the "fire rotten", why was he so careless? The old lady complained, ran to get safflower oil on a pair of small feet, lifted her clothes and saw that they were densely covered with pimples, "Why is it worse than you did?" ”

"Hansheng, take off your clothes."

Li Hansheng took off his clothes and felt a little cool on his skin, it was his grandmother rubbing medicine.

But then, as if boiling oil and quicklime were poured into the water together, an even more surging sense of fiery sensation invaded, and Li Hansheng felt that he seemed to have turned into a torch at this moment.

"Ahhh Li Hansheng couldn't hold back any longer, shouted while jumping, ran to the ditch, his eyes lit up, and he jumped down with a "poof".

"Damn, why didn't it work." Li Hansheng, who thought he would be more comfortable, hurriedly climbed up, and he didn't feel any coolness in the water, only that the water was warm.

However, in this burning pain, the itching sensation that had been devoured by the ants had disappeared for some time.

Lin Zhangming took a pu fan, pressed Li Hansheng on the seat, and fanned him his back.

Not to mention, Li Hansheng immediately felt a chill, and the heat seemed to dissipate a little, and his heart was no longer so uncomfortable.

"Whew, it's much more comfortable, push harder." Li Hansheng closed his eyes, exhaled a breath of heat, and lay on the back of the chair to wait for the hot feeling to subside.

Half an hour later, Lin Zhangming's hands were sour, and he was panting heavily.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Hey, brother...... , I'm tired to die and want to fan you, you're asleep here. ”

Lin Zhangming hit Li Hansheng on the head with a fan, "Don't get up yet?" ”

"Huh? I don't have pain or itch anymore? Li Hansheng opened his eyes, fell in surprise, and groped his back, "I still seem to have a pimple on my back." ”

"It's okay, it'll be gone in a while." Lin Zhangming looked at it, "But how can you repay me?" ”

"What in return?" Li Hansheng was puzzled.

"I fanned you for half an hour, you're tired, but the bad thing is that you're still asleep."

"Hehe, doesn't this mean that you are comfortable with the fan?"

"Okay, okay, how about fanning you for half an hour when I'm completely well?"

"It's pretty much the same," Lin Zhangming nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go, just now grandma gave me money, let's go buy popsicles and come back to eat." ”
