Chapter 287: Ghost Needle Grass
What is more familiar to mosquito repellents and mosquito repellents are various insect repellents and mosquito repellents. In modern times, it can be said that it is everywhere and everywhere...
Without the above two things, most people will think of mosquito repellent grass.
The mosquito repellent on the market mainly refers to genetically modified bay leaf geraniums, but for the sake of good sound, it is called mosquito repellent.
But in fact, it is impossible to ask Wang Yang to get a bunch of genetically modified ones at present.
If you don’t have these ready-made mosquito repellent methods, you don’t have to panic. Mosquitoes, no matter how powerful they are, they are mosquitoes, and they cannot deal with smart humans.
Wang Yang has many ways to repel mosquitoes, it depends on whether there are props and tools.
The easiest thing is the method of light.
Animals are afraid of fire, but some animals will be close to light and fire sources within a certain distance, and they like heat.
For example, it is very common for a warm-changing animal like snake to burn a little fire at night to attract a few snakes.
Often in the middle of the night, the adults patrolling were not beasts on the embankment, but snakes on the embankment.
Sometimes wild beasts will appear and want to attack everyone, then they will meet the snake and fight.
Some animals that like to eat snakes will also take the opportunity to get close to here and catch snakes.
So at night, they would light four small fires far away from the shed to provide open battlefields for snakes and snake catchers.
The next day, you often find one or two snakes next to one of the small fires.
Some snakes can also eat snakes, so sometimes you can see two snakes swallowing each other.
These are the life experiences summarized by everyone in the forest, which are very valuable.
Mosquitoes also like light. When you are in the middle of the night, you will find that there are always many mosquitoes on the white light strips.
If you turn off the light and read the novel with a mobile phone, the mosquitoes will fly to your phone from time to time, leaving you speechless.
Generally, in the wild, you can raise a bonfire outside and sleep by hiding from a distance. The mosquitoes will be less disturbed.
Wang Yang and the others could not just make fires outside. There would be a fire in the middle of their shed, ensuring that the vigil could observe everyone's situation at any time.
This is equivalent to lighting a light for the mosquitoes, and it is impossible to think about it.
Therefore, the light method will be eliminated by Wang Yang.
In his mind, he planned to do the first step of mosquito repellent and sugar water tactics.
What kind of mosquitoes, flys, and small flying insects are easily attracted by sugar water, and they can't help but fly in, and then drown in it because it's too sticky.
So, remove the sugar? Or, remove the sugar water?
He smiled mysteriously, and only had this rhetorical question in his heart, is the fruit sweet?
Fruits are sweet! Fruits are of course sweet. Everyone loves fruits so much because the taste of fruits is very wonderful.
The sweetest one and the most sugary one is sugarcane.
Wang Yang planted sugarcane, and planned to make sugar in the future.
Sugar cane has not grown on a large scale yet, and it is not so urgent to make sugar on a large scale. Wang Yang will not make sugar now.
But it's OK to make some sticky sugar water.
He saw him chop two sugarcane, crushed and smashed the stones to make a lot of sugarcane juice, and then put them on the fire and slowly boil them.
Before long, the sugar water shrank significantly, becoming thicker, emitting a faint sweet fragrance, and layers of yellow foam appeared on the surface.
After simmering for a while, the burnt smell came from the bottom, and it was burnt.
If you simmer it, wait until the juice continues to shrink and cool down, it will crystallize, and it will become a veritable caramel.
This is just that Wang Yang ignored it, not really making sugar, otherwise there would be other processes.
He extinguished the fire, took a branch, stirred it into the yellow bubbles of cane sugar juice, and then picked up the branch, and saw a sticky juice pulled up, like lotus root, and he was reluctant to break it.
"It's so sticky, one person dies when you go in."
He put the basin of sugar water aside, told everyone not to eat it, and then came to the cliff of the blue clay mine.
Walk to a weed and pull out a plant half a human tall.
The plant stems are very thin and the leaves are not big. The three leaves stretch out forward, green and green, with extremely smooth leaves without tiny fluff.
This plant is called Guizhicao, which is a very common plant and often grows in the mountains by the roadside.
Fortunately, there is a cliff here, and many big trees cannot grow here, leaving them a chance to breathe.
He picked several plants and brought them back.
The effect of Ghost Needle Grass is usually used as medicine and is regarded as a very common Chinese medicine and has a wide range of effects.
It can cure malaria, treat hypertension, treat low back pain, treat bruises and injuries. It is said that it can also cure colds, fever, sore throat.
Of course, the above needs to be harmonized with other traditional Chinese medicines, and whether it is really so magical, Wang Yang also expressed his doubts. Maybe another advertisement?
Wang Yang has never had those messy diseases. Even if he can, he has never tried this ghost needle grass.
When I was in the countryside in my previous life, I saw villagers using snake venom to treat certain snakes or applied them to the surface of broken wounds. Once, I was bitten by a dog and applied them with this thing.
If we divide the herbs he knows, then the big thistle is a natural band-aid, and this thing is snake venom.
He naturally did not use this as a medicine for snake venom. There are different types of snake venom, such as blood circulation toxins, neurotoxins, and mixed toxins, which cannot cure all diseases.
He would use this, but in the countryside.
At that time, mosquito coils were not popular, and grandpa and the others had never thought about using mosquito coils.
To them, ghost needle grass is a natural mosquito coil.
Usually, before going to bed, burn a ghost needle grass to drive the mosquito out of the room, and then put down the white tulle mosquito net, so that you won’t get bitten for a night.
Wang Yang has no mosquito nets, but it doesn't matter. He can burn the ghost needle grass for a night.
That night, Wang Yang did this before going to bed.
This night was no different from before. The mosquitoes resounded in their ears, buzzing, and told everyone clearly that I wanted to suck blood.
Only before going to bed would everyone know how uncomfortable the mosquitoes are, they would bite and itch all night long.
Everyone was so helpless about this little flying insect. They could only stand up one by one. They felt that mosquitoes were approaching. They suddenly patted their hands. It was okay if they could get the shot, but they would even numb their hands if they couldn't.
"Buzz buzz buzz~" The mosquitoes still flew around by themselves. The companions who were killed by the crowd could not make them afraid at all. Instead, the faint smell of blood stimulated their madness even more.
Everyone was also crazy, with red eyes and constant shooting.
They were extremely depressed. They were already infected with flea lice because they had a lot of hair. They were extremely itchy and now they had to be bitten by mosquitoes. After a day, how much blood would be sucked away!
Who doesn’t know that the ancients said, “A drop of blood will last for three New Year’s Eve dinner!
Mosquitoes don’t care about these things. If you really want to make moral leather coats, they will probably say: “This is to promote your blood circulation system, suck away old blood, replenish new blood, have new vitality every day, and suck healthier.”
"Pa...pa...pa...pa!" One after another, the applause came one after another like firecrackers, accompanied by the annoyed and angry expressions of everyone, which was enough to imagine how hateful the mosquitoes were.
"Woooo!" Xiaoxiao's body was smooth and hairy. In the attack of the mosquitoes, she was like a small boat on the wave, swaying and swaying, unable to bear it at all.
He ran to Wang Yang, gestured "whimper" and wanted to go back to the other side of the meadow.
Wang Yang smiled mysteriously, took the basin of cooled, and put it under a fire in front of him.
Then I took a few ghost needle grasses and put them on the flames.
"Woooo!" Xiaoxiao asked what he was doing.
Wang Yang just didn't answer, and quietly waited for the ghost needle grass to burn.
The emerald green leaves quickly withered and yellow in the flames, with a little spark coming out, and then a thick white smoke came out, like clouds, rolling to the top of the shed and spreading around.
"Buzz!" At this moment, the mosquitoes suddenly started to frantically and screamed loudly. The sound of flapping their wings suddenly became very delicate, like a storm, flying blindly around.
Everyone was startled and cursed, not knowing what was going on, but they felt that there were many mosquitoes in front of them suddenly, jumping around, and they didn't dare to open their eyes.
"Paipa!" Everyone clapped their hands with their eyes closed, feeling that their hands were becoming more and more sticky. It was imagined that they had killed many mosquitoes by slapping them.
The smoke became stronger and bigger, spreading a little more open, filling the entire shed.
Suddenly, the army of mosquitoes retreated like a tide, as if they were pushed away by an invisible slap.
The sound of mosquitoes slowly became smaller in their ears and then disappeared. Everyone opened their eyes and looked around in surprise. Where was there a mosquito?
They set their eyes outside, and saw a faint smoke floating out, and the mosquitoes retreated as if they were encountering snakes and scorpions.
Tsk…what is the situation?
Without exception, everyone couldn't help but look at Wang Yang, only he could do something particularly magical.
I saw him holding a few grasses in his hand, setting them in a fire, then taking them out and blowing them out, preventing them from burning them, but letting them continue to spread smoke.
Is it the smoke emitted by those plants that play a role?
Everyone surrounded them.
Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and looked at the plants. Suddenly, her big black eyes turned around. She laughed and went to pick up the plants.
The others immediately discovered her intention and pulled her out of the crowd and stopped coming in.
Wang Yang narrowed his eyes, glanced at the mosquitoes outside, and finally landed on the pot of sugar water.
He touched his chin and said secretly: "It's really easy to use. This smoke method is indeed effective. I just don't know how many mosquitoes that bowl of sugar water can kill?"
He drew several paintings to everyone to illustrate the mosquito repellent effect of this plant.
And tell everyone that if anyone is bitten by a snake, they will pick a few ghost needle grass, apply it externally and use it internally, regardless of whether it is effective or not, let’s talk about it.
