During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius had a disciple named Gongye Chang, who was famous for his proficiency in bird language.

One day, Gongye grew up in the wild, and heard a bird calling for friends: "There is dead human flesh next to Qingxi, why don't you peck at it together?" ”

After walking for a while, I met an old woman crying on the way, saying that her son had not returned for many days, and most of them had died outside, but she didn't know where the body was.

Gongye Chang hurriedly said: "I just saw a bird, and I want to go to Qingxi to peck at the corpse meat, maybe Ling Lang will die there, you hurry up, you won't be able to collect the whole corpse if you go late." ”

The old woman went to look for it, and when she saw that her son's body was in Qingxi, she thought that it was Gongye Chang's mouth to hold the bird's mouth, but in fact, she committed murder, and reported to the official to arrest Gongye Chang.

When Confucius heard this, he said this sentence recorded in the Analects of Gongye Chang V: "(The son is Gongye Chang,) but the wife, although she is in bondage, is not her sin." ”

Later, Gongye Chang was acquitted, and Confucius really married his daughter to him.

。。。

I couldn't sleep at night, and I talked a lot of words, and I was so annoyed that I was annoyed.

The centipede crawled back from his back, lay on his face, sniffed his nostrils carefully, felt his snort, and crawled into his arms, stayed for a while, and moved his tentacles, as if he was also appreciating.

Sleepless Night was surprised for a while, and then said with relief: "Brother Centipede's move must be to confirm my identity again and again." I have a fake face, and I have a more changed appearance, and it can't see the real face, and can only distinguish the real from the fake by smelling the smell. ”

It was about two or three quarters of an hour before the centipede made up its mind, quickly crawled back into his face, and kissed his nose lightly.

His face was covered with a false vein, except for his eyes and nostrils.

The centipede kisses the nose, and the cover is intended to kiss the real him.

poked the probe, and the eyes of this poisonous insect revealed a little warmth and firmness.

Then, without looking back, he climbed onto his shoulder blades.

......At a certain moment, a sharp pain struck. The skin on the shoulder blades was torn open by the centipede, and in the patience of the sleepless grinning of the night, it continued to burrow into it with sharp teeth.

The further in, the corners of his mouth trembled in pain at night, and he trembled: "It is said that being bitten by a centipede hurts the most, usually I don't believe it, but today I can believe it!" ”

He couldn't see the details of the shoulder blades on his back, but he could roughly feel that the centipede broke through the skin, bit the flesh, and went straight to the hook knife that had penetrated the flesh and bones.

This was followed by a slight vibration, and occasionally a soft gnawing sound sounded.

Sweat flowed down his sleepless forehead.

His mouth gradually widened, and he had a guess in his heart: "Brother Centipede, should he save me by biting off the bone and hooking the knife?" ”

When he thought about it, he felt that this was the most likely; And other than that, the centipede has no other way to save him.

It's just that although the centipede has sharp teeth, after all, the flesh is mortal; The material of the hook knife can't be seen at night, and it can be used by the Jinyi Guard to imprison the master of the reverse realm, and it must be extraordinary.

"Brother Centipede, is it possible?"

He was suspicious, and felt even more sorry for Brother Centipede's teeth.

。。。

I don't know how long it took, and I woke up from a deep sleep in the night, just in time to see the centipede slipping to the ground.

Compared to when it first came out of its hair, the poisonous insect was a little tired at this time.

The red tip is still high, but occasionally droops. Obviously, the long hours of work made it a little unbearable.

Sleepless at night, it spit out a string of gray-white crumbs from its mouth.

The light was dim, and I couldn't look closely at the specific appearance of the debris. But after a little thought, he exclaimed: "Isn't this the hooking knife iron filings gnawed off by Brother Centipede?" ”

This is the only explanation.

The iron filings were on the ground, and a long trail of about two feet was evenly dropped.

The centipede rolled back and forth violently, stirring up the iron filings; He crawled back and forth several times, and his body was stained with dirty water from the damp ground, which eventually covered up the traces of iron filings.

Sleepless said happily: "In this way, even if someone comes to see it, there is no trace of falling iron filings." Brother Centipede is clever! ”

At this time, only a squeak was heard, and the centipede bit the head of a small gray squirrel.

The gray squirrel struggled with its paws, scratching desperately, but the centipede's body was hard, no matter how hard it scratched, it couldn't be scratched, let alone scratched.

The centipede writhed a few times, and the mouse died and its eyes bulged out.

Sleepless at night.

After killing the rat, the centipede slowly finished eating its prey, replenished some physical strength, and crawled to its back along its sleepless body, burrowed into the meat, and began to work.

In the next few days, the centipede went back and forth to the sleepless back and the ground, busy non-stop, almost without rest.

Sleepless at night, it became more and more tired, so he called it many times: "Brother Centipede, let's take a rest!" ”

But the centipede always turned a deaf ear.

Sleepless at night, he said: "Brother Centipede can go to the back and bite this hook knife, which means that it can understand human speech, but why do I let it rest but refuse to listen?" ”

Regardless of whether the centipede listens or not, every time it gets down and gets to the ground, it will habitually ask it to rest, but the centipede still does not listen, but continues to catch bed bugs, cockroaches, rats and other things on the ground.

Fortunately, this cell is a big unclean place, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and even in winter, there are many of them. The centipede hunts freely, so it is not hungry.

Sometimes I can't sleep at night and think: "Brother Centipede eats bed bugs and gets dirty on the ground, and there must be dirt left on his body and mouth; But when it broke through my flesh and burrowed into my body, why didn't it cause my wounds to become infected? ”

Because when he was a child, he learned a little medical skills from that Shaolin lay disciple, and he knew that if the wound was contaminated with dirt, he would be easily infected.

There have been many examples to prove the correctness of his experience, except in the case of centipedes, there are exceptions.

According to his deeper observation, when he was bitten by a centipede, although there was always a sharp pain, it came and went quickly, and after a short time, it disappeared without any signs of infection and pain.

At first, he was amazed, but he didn't know why.

Later, when he calmed down and felt it, he finally discovered the secret.

It turned out that before he started to bite, he would always feel that the centipede would secrete some liquid at the bite site, giving out a cool feeling.

This cooling sensation is very subtle and can be described as "delicate".

When the pain occurs, this delicate liquid will infiltrate the sore spot, quickly driving away the pain, leaving only a cold, numb and itchy feeling.

"Brother Centipede's special liquid is not only non-toxic, but it can also have such an effect!"

Ordinary centipedes are poisonous, ranging from swelling and pain to nausea, to fainting and even death.

But this centipede brother should be a rare centipede, the liquid on the fangs, which can clear heat and detoxify. Under this effect, the contamination residue of snakes, insects, rats and ants did not infect the wounds of sleepless nights.
