I shivered in the ancestral hall, and I didn't know what was going on with the candles outside.

"Auntie, I brought clothes for Xuanzi, let's change them quickly." It was Aunt Zhang who brought me the clothes in exchange, and I shrank back.

"Grandma, I'll change it when I get home."

My grandmother put her head to me and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Grandma, I don't even dare to pull up my sleeves now." My skin hadn't finished molting yet, and after a soak in the lake, and the rain, it was almost falling off on its own.

My grandmother understood what I meant, "Xiaofeng, there's no place to change clothes here, Xuanzi is embarrassed, let's not change it, it'll be fine in a while." ”

Who knew that Aunt Zhang said: "Auntie, this is not simple, Xuanzi go to my house, it will be there in a few steps." ”

"No, Aunt Zhang, I want to sincerely wait here for the dragon god to come back, thank you for your kindness." Under my repeated resignations, Aunt Zhang was not reluctant.

At this time, a surprised voice came from outside the door, "The candle is not extinguished!" The dragon returns! "Homecoming! That's great! This qiē is all true, I didn't dream it, months of waiting has finally arrived, and this town is once again favored by God.

"The rain has stopped, the rain has stopped!" Someone shouted again.

"Grandma, has the rain really stopped?" I asked in a loud voice.

My grandmother touched my head and said, "It's really stopped, we should have avoided this flood." Xuanzi, thanks to you! "Speaking of credit, there is another person, if it were not for him, I would ...... Ay? Why didn't I hear Pei Feng's voice after entering the ancestral hall.

I asked, "Grandma, what about my classmates?" "I haven't had time to thank them yet.

"He's gone early, so I'll send you here and leave. Your classmate is really good, I have to thank him another day, my grandmother's heart and liver are almost ......" said and choked up my grandmother, alas...... My grandmother is the strongest woman I have ever seen, it is said that she encountered a lot of hard things when she was young, when her grandfather was sick and paralyzed, she survived strongly, pulled the child up, took on all the work at home and the work of the production team outside, and took care of the bedridden father, but she did not shed a single tear, but my affairs made her sad or worried red eyes, I really can't live with my grandmother, she sacrificed too much for me.

"Grandma, don't be like this, Xuanzi's life is big! Xuanzi also has to go to college, return to her parents, and then pick up her grandmother and go to the big city to live a good life. ”

"Grandma, the dragon has returned to its place, the rain has stopped, go back and change clothes with Ah Xuan!" A clever, ah, scared me to death, thick ink has always been by my side, don't make a noise This is not bullying a blind eye, it's really embarrassing, when it's so sensational......

After going back, my eyes were already a little hazy, and my grandmother said that the skin on my body was soaked and white. Even in summer, soaking in the lake water and raining will be affected by the wind and cold, so the family milk used boiled mugwort water to smoke me, and it was smoked with a bath tent. This is the method used in the countryside to take a bath in winter, put a large bathtub on the ground, cover a large bathing tent on it, the tent door is clamped with a clamp, it is not breathable, and the heat in the water makes the tent swell up, and I feel like I am about to suffer from heat stroke in winter, let alone in summer, put my head out for a while to breathe, and breathe again for a while.

Ai, we plant it in every household here, on the one hand, it is a good recipe, and on the other hand, it is also a custom. I also mentioned earlier, after seven days of measles, take a bath with mugwort, and the mother of the confinement is also, and the full moon child, the grandmother said, on the day of the full moon wine, to dip some mugwort water to let the child lick and lick, the meaning is first bitter and then sweet, and a more common usage is that during the Dragon Boat Festival, wormwood will be placed on the door frame of every house, which is said to be used to ward off evil spirits and prevent diseases. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the climate is relatively humid, which is a good time to breed bacteria. Wormwood is the same as wine, the older the better, the family milk will cut some wormwood every year to save it so that it can be used at any time, "the family has three years of wormwood, Langzhong does not use." "There are also many medical values of wormwood, so you may wish to contact them more.

When I was taking a bath, my grandmother was boiling mugwort water outside, and she would keep adding water to my basin, and I really couldn't breathe, "Grandma, don't add water, I'm dying." I gasped.

Scoop water out of the big pot at the side of the house, "Say stupid things again, hurry up!" Then she whispered, "Children are not sensible, please don't be surprised, children are not sensible, and talking doesn't count." "It's started again, alas......

"Put your head outside, you can't smoke it, this is Chen Ai, and it's not poisonous." The grandmother came to instruct again, of course I know that it is Chen Ai, fresh mugwort is toxic, and eating a large amount of it in the mouth will cause poisoning, so it is best not to smoke the bath, but this is not a problem of poison, this is not breathable.

When I was about to faint, my grandmother opened my mouth, "Xuanzi, take this in your mouth and chew." ”

I didn't react to what it was, and after a few quick chews, I found out that it was ginger slices, "poof~" The conditioned reflex spit out on the ground, and then stuck out my tongue and complained: "Milk, it's so spicy!" ”

"Then drink ginger water."

I grimaced, "I don't want it, I don't like it." ”

"No, the wind chill matters! It's summer, what to eat? I'm afraid you don't remember the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine that your uncle asked you to memorize, about this, memorize it! ”

I rolled my eyes, I was forced, absolutely. "I eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and I don't need a doctor to prescribe medicine, but ...... That'...... Uncle's hospital is falling......"

"You!" I figured that my grandmother was about to knock me, so I quickly hid in the tent and stuck out my tongue. There are many sayings about ginger and radish, I remember that eating ginger in the summer opens the pores of the whole body and allows the cold to come out, and eating radish in the winter to close the pores and prevent the cold from entering the body, and there are many more, but because there are too many, I only remember this simplest ......

"Ping-pong-" Hey, the grandmother broke the bowl?

"Grandma-" No one answered, just now the person was still there, where did he go, "Granny-" I shouted again, I looked through the water vapor, ah, there seemed to be no vague figure of the house-milk.

"Ping Pong-" is the voice again, and it is near my bathtub, but my molting period is not over, but I can only faintly see, and my perception is poor, my hand is blindly touched along the bath tent, hey, left and right, suddenly the tentacles are slippery, and cold, I put my head out, trying to open my eyes to see, I don't know, I look startled, within the blurred vision I can see, a snake head is the same as me, with big round eyes, and it has a small piece of fragment in its mouth, You're looking at me motionless, little green snake! Aha~ You're here again!

I pretended not to see, and I watched it open its eyes and said nonsense, "It's weird, what's here?" Alas, forget it, let's wait until my eyes are better. Then I continued to stare at it, grabbing a few mugwort leaves and rubbing them back and forth on my face, keeping my original position. It heard me, and the snake's head swayed from side to side, and the question was...... I was relieved to be able to read it! After it finished swinging, its big eyes came back to its senses a little, and then it put down the small fragments in its mouth, and moved its small body, and then I saw a few other small fragments pressed under the snake's belly, and it opened its mouth wide and tried to stuff it into its mouth together, but it leaked one piece at a time, but it still buried its head in hard work.

My eyes were getting clearer, and I excused myself to look for something, "Soap, weird." Then his head lowered even more, and he reached out to touch around the shards, but when the little green snake raised his head, Shui Shui's big eyes looked around, and found that my soap was not far away, and it quickly swam over and pushed my soap box towards my hand, huh? And this awareness, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it has a bad heart, what is it doing? As soon as my hand crossed, I grabbed the little green snake and took it to the tent, I can't appease you well when I see your ancestor!

It struggled and slipped out of my grasp, where to escape! I quickly grabbed it, but because my eyes were still not good, it slipped away, I pressed on the edge of the basin, "bang-" There was a loud noise, the basin overturned, the bath tent was pulled down, and it was wet and covered my face, and all the mugwort branches and mugwort leaves were sprinkled on my body, and the large basin covered my body, I spit out a mouthful of bath water, and by the way, pulled out a few mugwort leaves from my mouth.

By this time my eyes had basically cleared, I sighed, and looked at the kitchen door, well, the house milk and thick ink. Well? Thick ink!

"Ahh

"Don't scream, don't scream! Hey! "The grandmother covered my mouth.

"Woo, I don't have a face to see people!" I lay on my pillow and sobbed in shame.

"You don't see anything, you're under the big basin, and your face is covered by the bath tent." The grandmother tried to comfort me.

"Woo...... "I don't listen."

"You're all young, what do you know? He really didn't see anything but the basin and the tent. ”

"Woo-woo......" I continued.

"It's all the fault of the grandmother, the grandmother went out to collect the vegetables, met the thick ink on the road, and came back together, heard such a loud noise, I didn't think much about it, how do I know, alas...... "The grandmother was also a little sentimental by me."

I held my head and continued to be melancholy, "My ugliness! ”

“……”

"He'll definitely laugh at my posture in the future!" I am extremely sad and indignant, just with the careful eyes of thick ink, I don't like my eyes everywhere, I don't know what happened to the snake in my last life, I have endured the white eyes for a long time, and if I am not careful, I will provoke him for no reason, and now I see my ugliness, I will definitely fall into the well, and from time to time I take it out and slip my mouth, laugh at me!

"Xuanzi ......" is also depressed.

"Hmm." , I know, she must also know that I have been bullied by thick ink.

"Where are you using your gender consciousness......" she shook her head, deciding to give up on comforting me.

Me: "......"
