"It's a scorpion."

The old lady said weakly.

"Yes, it's a scorpion."

I also remembered that when I looked at the man, he looked a bit like he had been poisoned by a scorpion.

"Grandma, do you still have mint leaves at home?"

The old lady hurriedly looked for mint leaves. Because men often drink mint water, mint leaves are indispensable in the home.

"Found it, here."

At this time, the man completely lost consciousness, and the toxins in his body began to spread. If the toxins invaded the brain, the man would mutate and turn into a scorpion man.

I brought a few mint leaves and put them in front of the man. Not to mention that the mint leaves were really in charge, the man stood there motionless.

While the man couldn't move, I found another rope and tied him up.

After everything was done, I started to ask the old lady: "Grandma, what's going on?"

The old lady was in shock, all her eyes were on her son.

"I don't know either! I was fine when I got home."

I came to the window to see if there were any clues. The rain didn't stop, and I couldn't see any important clues.

But I saw some scorpions that had just shed their skin on the window. These scorpions were just hanging around the window.

I kept wondering in my mind: "Why did the old lady know that scorpions are afraid of the smell of mint? And why did her son become like this? Is all this a coincidence? Also, they just said that there were many strange things happening, what could they be?

"

With doubts in my heart, I started to ask the old lady: "Grandma, how do you know that scorpions are afraid of mint?"

The old lady said: "I didn't know it at first. I only found out about it about a year ago."

"A year ago?" I became even more confused after hearing this, so I asked, "What's going on? Can you tell me?"

The old lady sighed and said, "A year ago, our place was peaceful, but one day, for unknown reasons, many scorpions suddenly appeared from the ground."

"Scorpion? What's so special about it?"

"These scorpions had just shed their skin and were crawling very fast. Where the scorpions appeared, people found a hole. In the hole was a red scorpion skin as big as a cow.

Its pliers alone were bigger than a baby. A few brave people entered the cave to investigate. Not long after entering, they heard shouting inside.

Four people went down, but only one came up alive. That person was covered in blood. After he came up, he started talking nonsense: "Monsters, monsters are here, monsters eat people."

Within two days, the man also died. From then on, scorpion larvae were everywhere within a radius of ten miles.

The strange thing is that there are scorpions in other places, but not in my kitchen. It was only later that I learned that peppermint can repel scorpions.

So I planted mint trees all around the house."

"Oh, I see!"

But what the old lady said caught my attention.

"Grandma, what is in that cave?"

The old lady shook her head: "Some people say that there is an ancestor of scorpions inside."

After hearing this, I laughed and said, "Ancestor? Scorpion still has an ancestor?"

"Scorpions usually come in black, red, brown, and gray colors, but few people know about pink scorpions."

"Pink scorpion?" I was shocked. This was the first time I heard of "pink scorpion"!

"The average lifespan of a scorpion is five to eight years, but this pink scorpion has lived for at least fifty years.

As the saying goes, a chicken does not live for six years, and a dog does not live for eight years. All living things have their own destiny, but if their lifespan exceeds theirs, they will no longer be patrolling animals."

I thought to myself: This old lady knows so much.

"Grandma, are you saying that the pink scorpion in the cave has become a demon?"

The old lady laughed and said: "It is impossible to become a demon, but it is enough to harm someone."

"Hey! I just heard you say there are many strange things, so what other strange things are there?"

"The second strange thing is our man Chen Dashan."

"Mr. Chen Dashan?" I was very puzzled: "Why is this man so weird?"

When she mentioned Chen Dashan, a smile appeared on the old lady's face.

"Although Mr. Chen Dashan is short and less than one meter tall, he is a well-known good man in our eight villages. He is good at charity and often helps poor people like us.

The strange thing is that a year ago his family was poorer than ours, but somehow he became rich overnight."

"Wow!"

The old lady and I were chatting when I heard the man vomit all over the floor, and all he vomited out were scorpion larvae!
