There was no other way, so Liu Limin had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry Xu Qing to the edge of the field.
Mr. Zheng also came over with great concern and asked: "Xiao Liu, is this okay? We have to get the leech out quickly!"
Liu Limin blushed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, it's not a big problem. We often encounter it when working in the countryside."
Liu Limin put Xu Qing down and prepared to deal with it for her.
This leech is burrowed into the flesh and cannot be pulled out, because this will make it burrow further inside, so it can only be patted out by force.
At this time, Xu Qing was already embarrassed and anxious, her face was as red as a rooster's comb.
Liu Limin comforted him: "Junior sister, it's okay, I'll pat it a few times and it will come out!"
Xu Qing gritted her teeth and hummed softly.
Liu Limin's technique was very skillful. The leech exited Xu Qing's body in a few moments. As soon as the leech fell off, it rolled up into a ball.
There was an obvious wound on Xu Qing's leg. She was so angry that she picked up a stone and crushed the leech into several pieces.
Liu Limin looked at it and said: "Junior sister, this leech is poisonous. I have to help you suck out the poisonous blood, and then get some herbs to put on it so that you won't get infected. But you can't go to the fields anymore today."
When Xu Qing heard this, her pretty face turned red again. This was too embarrassing. Mr. Zheng was still there. Besides, I couldn't help my senior brother thresh the millet today. How could I do this? I had said it before, absolutely not.
Will be a deserter.
Xu Qing blushed and said: "Senior brother, this can't work. I can't be a deserter. Our People's Liberation Army is only slightly injured and can't get out of the firing line. What did I get from this injury? You need to take care of it for me. I have to continue to work!"
"
Liu Limin looked at it and agreed. If Xu Qing quit, he would have to let Li Hui or Li Xia take over. In this way, only one person would cut the rice, and the efficiency would definitely be greatly reduced.
It's just that Xu Qing was bitten by a leech on her foot, so there was indeed a risk of infection. After all, there are all kinds of bacteria and microorganisms in the paddy field.
But it is not impossible. You can apply herbal medicine on it and then bandage it. In this case, it is not a big problem. Many farmers are bitten by leech and have not dealt with it. However, some people are infected or the parasites enter the body and become sick.
.
Liu Limin said: "Okay then, I'll deal with it for you first."
As he spoke, Liu Limin leaned down and began to suck the poisonous blood from Xu Qing's leg.
Mr. Zheng turned around. He didn't dare to look at this scene. It was not suitable for children.
Liu Lixin was still working there, but this little guy was secretly watching his elder brother suck Xu Qing's blood.
Xu Qing only felt a sore and numb feeling, and her whole delicate body was shaking, as if she had been electrocuted. Liu Limin didn't pay attention to this, and just sucked out the poisonous blood forcefully to prevent infection.
In fact, this leech is not poisonous, but it is afraid of bacterial infection.
So after taking a few puffs, Liu Limin stopped smoking.
When he raised his head, he saw Xu Qing's face flushed with embarrassment. Liu Limin looked at Mr. Zheng as if he was watching the threshing of millet. It was okay.
He quickly found some herbs, chewed them up, and applied them to Xu Qing's wounds. He also tore off a piece of cloth from his torn vest and bandaged Xu Qing's wounds.
Xu Qing blushed and said: "These leeches are so hateful, can't we get rid of them all?"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "No, actually leech is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, so don't worry, it's okay, you were bitten by a leech, just be careful not to get infected!"
Xu Qing went into battle again, and she and Liu Limin cooperated very well. After a while, they finished half of the rice, and the mixing bucket was filled with millet. It looked like a sense of accomplishment.
Liu Limin and Xiao Song dragged the mixing bucket to the edge of the field and began to load it with millet. One load of millet weighed more than 200 kilograms, but for Liu Limin, it was nothing.
He can carry more than 300 kilograms and walk, but now he is a Chinese medicine practitioner, so he knows not to overdo it and pay attention to taking care of it when he is young, otherwise it will cause more problems when he is old.
Liu Limin and Xiao Song began to carry water and millet back. Xu Qing and Liu Lixin cut millet with Liu Lihui and Liu Lixia.
Mr. Zheng also went back with Liu Limin and the others, so that he could help Mr. Wang dry the millet at home.
Time passed quickly. When we finished plowing this field, the sun was already high in the sky. It was very hot at this time and everyone was very tired, especially Xu Qing and Xiao Song.
Even though Xiao Song is a martial arts practitioner, it is good to have strength, but this work is different. He has not done it for a long time.
Not to mention Xu Qing, it was the first time in her life to participate in threshing millet. Although she was just an auxiliary worker, she was still tired. After all, she had to bend down constantly to hand over the fields. When the field was finished, she felt that her waist was weak.
I can't stand up straight anymore.
As for the injuries on his body, they are nothing.
But looking at the small red envelopes and blood stains on her skin, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother, these injuries won't leave scars, right?"
For girls, leaving scars will indeed affect their beauty, so this is something they are particularly concerned about.
Liu Limin smiled and said: "It's okay, it will be fine in a few days. There will be no scars. Look at Li Hui and Li Xia, who have to thresh millet every year. How many scars do they have on their bodies? In addition to cutting,
There are no scars except bleeding and scars from injuries like grass."
Although it is very hard, we have to work hard today to plow two acres of paddy fields so that they can be dried together, and then the good millet is packed and handed over to the public grain. This year's task is basically completed.
After the millet is threshed, in October and November, it will be the season to dig red potatoes and harvest Chinese medicinal materials.
Liu Limin was very motivated and worked until noon, finally finishing all the millet in two acres of paddy field.
This speed is still very fast, also because there are many people and a lot of strength. Otherwise, if there are two or three people, it will take two or three days to complete.
It was almost half past two when we had lunch.
Wang made a large table of sumptuous lunch, including home-grown vegetables and twice-cooked pork made from pork cut at the market.
After doing heavy work, eating twice-cooked pork with rice is quite refreshing and can replenish energy very well.
Everyone ate deliciously and enjoyed the joy of the harvest.
Liu Lixin said while eating: "Brother, I will touch the loach and eel in the afternoon, and I will replenish your body in the evening. What do you think?"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Okay, you kid can't do anything else, but this is really good. If it doesn't weigh three to five pounds, you won't be allowed to come back!"
Liu Lixin said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I've seen it all. There are a lot of loaches and eels in the field, and they are easy to catch!"
Xu Qing said curiously: "Lixin, you are so powerful, I want to see it!"
Liu Lixin said with a smile: "Sister Qing, you can come with me in the afternoon. If you don't want to go to the fields, just watch me show off my skills from the side!"
Xu Qing said happily: "Well, good, we can have good food again tonight!"
