Chang Le watched Meng Qigulisuo split the firewood into several halves, and couldn't help but sigh heavily, feeling that the current scene was somewhat familiar.

Every time she went back to the countryside during the holidays, she squatted in front of her grandmother's vegetable pot and watched her grandfather chopping firewood next to her.

"Sister-in-law Ying, how many dishes have you prepared here?" Chang Le retracted his homesickness and looked back at Sister-in-law Ying, "I'll help you, there are so many of us, and it's not easy to cook." ”

"How bad is this...... Sister-in-law Ying was polite, and seeing that Chang Le had already started picking vegetables neatly, she had to give up and smiled, "Then it's troublesome girl." ”

"It's fine. I used to help out with manual work when I was at home......"

Halfway through Chang Le's words, the vegetables in his hands were also peeled to the cabbage heart, and there was a big fleshy insect lying inside. Chang Le was shocked and threw the dish aside as quickly as he could.

"Girl, are you alright?"

Sister-in-law Ying was busy caring about Chang Le's emotions, and when she saw Chang Le relieved, she breathed a sigh of relief. picked up the vegetables that Chang Le threw on the ground, put them on the side of the basin and knocked them, knocked the insects off, and drove them into the dustpan with the waste vegetable sticks.

"It's meaty. Worm, girl, you're still watching from the side. ”

"I'm the most afraid of insects, and I didn't pay attention to it just now."

Chang Le was very embarrassed to explain, and in order to show his apology, he immediately started picking vegetables again. Sister-in-law Ying looked at it, smiled, and didn't stop it.

"Sister-in-law Ying, when we entered the village today, we heard someone in the Meng family ancestral hall calling for help. I've heard that those are the plague people in the village. ”

"Huh? How can it be? Sister-in-law Ying's subordinates were a little flustered, smiled and said perfunctorily, "It's just those who committed a crime and were punished by the village chief for reflection in the ancestral hall." Where is the plague? ”

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to hide it from me. When we came, we heard a lot about Chuancao Village, and we knew that Chuancao Village was harassed by a strange insect all year round, and many people had strange diseases and were infected. ”

Chang Le said, seeing that Sister-in-law Ying's face was a little wrong, Yu Guang looked at Meng Qigu, and he also looked at himself vigilantly. After a pause, Chang Le continued to pick vegetables and talk.

"It's not surprising that people who have this easily contagious disease must be quarantined so that you don't get harmed. In fact, I inquired with you, but I was also afraid that Ming'er would go to the mountains and be bitten by this kind of insect, and then get this disease, so what should I do? I also thought that if I did get bitten by that time, I would jump off a cliff or something, so as not to infect my friends. ”

Sister-in-law Ying and Meng Qigu heard her say this, and their faces eased slightly. Sister-in-law Ying glanced back at Meng Qigu hesitantly, and saw that he continued to chop wood silently, so she turned around, looked at Chang Le and sighed secretly, and smiled on her face.

"Girl, you're thoughtful. In fact, we do have a lot of strange poisonous insects here, and the one you heard about is called naked insects by us. We don't know if there's one on the hill you're going to, but it's best to be aware that it's so small. ”

As she spoke, she took out her right hand and pinched two-thirds of the top section of her little finger with her thumb. Chang Le listened intently, looked carefully, and nodded.

"It's not easy to spot at such a small age. But it's also easy to recognize, it's red and black bars on its body, one by one, you should be able to recognize it at a glance. ”

Chang Le listened, and always felt that the insects she described were very familiar, and where had she seen them. The next moment when Sister-in-law Ying spoke, the goosebumps on Chang Le's body rose.

She did see it, just before she entered the village, Si Boyan had slapped one to death!

Si Boyan, who was standing not far away, had been listening to the conversation between the two of them. Hearing this, his face changed slightly, and he shook his palm slightly, faintly feeling a strange feeling on his neck.

"Girl, what's wrong?" Sister-in-law Ying noticed Chang Le's panicked expression, and hurriedly asked, "Shouldn't you have been bitten by this kind of bug?" ”

Chang Le hurriedly shook his head: "No, I just think that such a small insect, how can it have so much ability?" Moreover, when I go into the mountains, where can I pay attention to such a small bug? ”

"That's right." Sister-in-law Ying thought for a while and said, "Before you enter the mountain, smoke your body with the smoke of the drunken grass, and then take it with you, and you should be fine." I saw that this is what Meng Jiu's family did when they went into the mountains to collect medicine. ”

"Thank you so much. In this way, I am relieved, otherwise, I don't want to go into the mountains. Chang Le said exaggeratedly, feeling that his last lie had passed, and continued to ask urgently, "What are the symptoms after being bitten by this bug, or being infected?" ”

"These two symptoms are not the same." Sister-in-law Ying answered seriously, "If you are bitten directly by a naked insect, you will have a high fever directly, and then the bite will ulcerate, and it will not take two days to die of high fever and ulceration all over your body." ”

Chang Le couldn't help but feel excited, and the cold hairs on his body stood up. Thinking about it for a while, I must check Si Boyan's situation.

"If you're infected, be slow. At first, I was hot and dizzy, and some of them seemed to have a cold. After a day, you will also start to have a high fever. But if you burn it for a day or two, it will disappear automatically. When you think it's good, you will inexplicably start to have yellow muscles and thin muscles, and red spots appear on your body. After half a month, the erythema will begin to fester. In the end, it also festered to death. ”

"So horrible?" Chang Le smacked his tongue, and then asked, "Is this bug perennial?" I think you all have precautions, shouldn't you have come out recently? ”

"Yes, girl, you're quite careful." Sister-in-law Ying praised, "The existence of this bug, according to the older generation, should be hundreds of years old." We're all used to it. ”

"So long?" Chang Le was surprised, "Then why do you still live here?" I should have moved away a long time ago, and the whole family moved, and the whole village moved. ”

"Where is this so easy?" Sister-in-law Ying smiled bitterly, "Our village has always been rooted here. Moreover, because of the rumors of this bug, the people outside did not let us move out, for fear of harming the people outside. ”

Chang Le felt that this village was a little pitiful for a while, maybe she could talk to Si Boyan, and let the local county magistrate come over to persuade them, and it would be good for a group of people who wanted to leave to leave. If everyone stays here and lives in panic every day, this life will be too miserable.

"Then there's no cure for this bug?"

"I heard that there used to be, and there was a one called Immortal Grass, which was in the mountain where you were going." Sister-in-law Ying casually began to wash the vegetables, "But I heard that there are not many of that kind of grass anymore, and now only the people of the Meng Jiu family know what the fairy grass looks like and where to find it." ”

Chang Le also helped wash the vegetables, and as soon as he put his hand into the basin, he was frozen by the cold water. I gritted my teeth and endured it, but I didn't retract my hand.

"This Meng Jiujia, is it a doctor?"

"Hmm. Their family has been doctors for generations. But in this generation, Meng Jiu is the only one left, Meng Jiu broke a leg because of collecting medicine a while ago, and treated people, and also contracted red disease. ”

Chang Le paused, feeling that something was not quite right.

"This Doctor Meng Jiu, won't he also be imprisoned in the ancestral hall? Aren't you even the last one who can cure this disease? ”

Sister-in-law Ying was silent. At this moment, Meng Qigu came over with a pile of chopped firewood and helped Sister-in-law Ying answer the question.

"Anyway, the immortal grass is basically gone, and without the immortal grass, Meng Jiu can't cure people anymore. Actually, it's all pretty much the same. ”

Chang Le still felt a little angry. Sister-in-law Ying had already washed the dishes and got up.

"Sister, you better go and stay in the house for a while, see that your hands are frozen red."

"Oh, good."

Chang Le answered in a daze, saw Sister-in-law Ying turn around and enter the door, shook off the ice water on her hand, and also turned around and walked towards the east house. As soon as he turned around, Chang Le saw Si Boyan standing at the door and watching here, his eyes flashed, and he remembered that Si Boyan was bitten, and immediately ran over.

"Ah Chang, you've been freezing outside for so long......"

Before Shili's thoughtful words were finished, Chang Le had already pulled Si Boyan into Si Boyan's room, and locked out Wuze and Shili, who had gone to the carriage to pack their things.

Wuze and Shili looked at each other.

In just a moment, when he heard the sound of the bolt door, Shili's face changed.

Blue sky and white day, lonely men and widows, living in the same room, and locking the door!

What does Chang Le want to do?!

Almost subconsciously, Shili posted it on the door, for fear that Chang Le would do something immoral. Seeing this, Wuze reached out and pressed her head, forcing Shili to leave.

Shili slapped Wuze's arm fiercely and roared angrily: "What are you doing? Let me go! ”

Inside the house, Chang Le heard Shili's voice far away from the door, praised Wuze fiercely in his heart, turned around and pounced on Si Boyan.

Si Boyan dodged sideways and said, "You are inevitably too misunderstood." ”

"I have something important, you can show me your neck."

Chang Le anxiously grabbed Si Boyan's wrist who was about to escape, and his stiff fingers thawed because of the heat on Si Boyan's body, which had a feeling of numbness and crispiness, and it was very comfortable. Chang Le seemed to take advantage of something, smiled and clenched tighter, wanting to be warmer.

Si Boyan was shivering from her cold, and glanced at her red fingers. Thinking of the sacrifice she had made in order to inquire about the news, she stood still.

"I heard what you just said, don't worry, it's okay."

"Did you hear it all? It's good enough to hear. ”

Chang Le praised him very distractedly, and originally wanted to tell him after inquiring, and then show off his ability. Right now, she just lost this opportunity to show off. Although Si Boyan said so, she was still not at ease.

"Then you let me see."

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Si Boyan couldn't help it, so he had to take half a step in front of her, half-squatted down, and hung his neck to show her.

Chang Le did not take good care of his eyes because he had been painting in the thirteen counties for a long time, and his eyes were a little dizzy and short-sighted. At this time, in order to confirm it well, I directly pasted it.

Chang Le had just been outside for a long time, and when he suddenly approached, Si Boyan only felt a chill coming. was stunned for a moment, and wanted to tilt his head to remind Chang Le to pay attention to the distance, but his head was pushed back by Chang Le's slap.

"There's really nothing."

Chang Le confirmed as he ran his hand around his neck, a triumphant smile on his face.

Sure enough, warming your hands with your neck in winter is the fastest!
