- Catching centipedes is not an easy task. Liu Junhao was bitten several times when he was a child.
Although the centipedes in the Daqingshan area are large in size, they are not very poisonous. After biting a person, the wound area will be red and swollen, and the pain will be unbearable. After being bitten, just wash the wound immediately with soapy water or crush some Houttuynia cordata and dandelion and apply it on the wound. The swelling will subside in an hour or two.
But that's not always the case. He remembered that one spring, Er Mazi caught a large red-headed, black-bodied centipede that was as long as a chopstick and as thick as a thumb. He showed it off to the villagers, but was bitten on the hand and immediately started jumping around on the ground. . And then I felt nauseated and vomited, and I was thrashing on the ground. A group of people were frightened and rushed him to the hospital. He stayed in the health center for five or six days before he recovered.
In the 1990s, a centipede cost only fifty cents. As a result, his hospitalization cost more than thirty yuan. In those days, more than thirty yuan was equivalent to hundreds of yuan, which made Er Mazi feel distressed.
Since then, few people in Liujiagou have gone up the mountain to catch centipedes and scorpions. After all, these things are not easy to get. What if something happens?
Strange to say, there were quite a lot of centipedes in Liujiagou in the early years. You can always find a few of them in the gaps between bricks and stones, at the foot of walls, or in dark corners of leaf piles, weeds, or rotten wood. But nowadays, if people don¡¯t catch them, there are no traces of them. At least Liu Junhao hasn¡¯t been seen much in the past few years. Pass.
Of course, the reason for this is also related to the environment. Centipedes like to stay in dark corners, especially adobe houses. Nowadays, most people build houses made of bricks and tiles, and they are cleaned frequently. Like scorpions, there is naturally no place for them in the village.
"Fifth Master, you sit here and rest for now. I'll lead these naughty kids to the backyard to look around." The furry kids haven't left yet, so it comes in handy.
"It's a pity that after searching around the yard for a long time, I didn't even see any centipede hairs.
Faced with this result, Liu Wuye was also quite disappointed and said he would look for it in the village later.
Liu Junhao naturally went over to help. He originally thought that no matter how few centipedes there were, he would definitely be able to find a few. So I took these naughty kids and searched around the corners of the village. Unexpectedly, after searching for a full hour and almost half of the village, I didn't find a single centipede. Instead, I caught seven or eight scorpions.
Seeing that the village was really in trouble, after lunch, Liu Junhao turned his attention to the outside of the village.
When she heard that she was going to go up the mountain to catch centipedes, Zhang Qian was also very interested and said she wanted to go and have a look.
Liu Junhao took his wife's health into consideration and refused to agree. I just checked it online, so be careful in the first three months.
The naughty kids in the village wanted to go see them, but Liu Junhao nodded in agreement. School is about to start, and they can't dance for a few more days. This is their last act of madness. In order to popularize knowledge to them, Liu Junhao specially found several pictures of centipedes from the Internet for everyone to compare carefully, and then repeatedly explained the precautions not to get stung.
Just like in the village, after half an hour of busy work, I still didn¡¯t see any centipedes, and I caught a lot of scorpions. These scorpions were collected into bottles, ready to be fried together with the ones from the morning.
The more he dug, the more confused he became, wondering where the centipedes had gone.
When he was depressed, Xiao Jianhui started to shout: "Uncle, look, I dug up a centipede"
"It's true." Liu Junhao was very excited after hearing this and hurried over. But when he saw that thing, he realized that his happiness was in vain and that his feelings were like a "string of money." This guy is a close relative of the centipede, and its scientific name is centipede. Although it is also a traditional Chinese medicine, no one takes it at all.
Liu Junhao was busy with himself and ignored the children who were messing around on the hillside. Little did they know that when Maozi and the others saw a stone as big as a tabletop, they all guessed that there was a centipede inside. Several children discussed and planned to lift the stone together. This stone is granite and is not heavy.
They all ignored Liu Junhao below. The mountain was steep and the big stone rolled down the mountain. It rolled faster and faster under the influence of gravity, making a roaring sound.
"Uncle Liu, get out of the way!" Several children turned pale with fright and hurriedly shouted.
Almost at the same time as they shouted, Liu Junhao also heard the movement. He was startled when he saw something as big as a tabletop rushing towards him. He said it was too late, but he was quick at that moment. He quickly took a leap and rushed to the side more than three meters away. Big rocks whizzed past him, and finally he plunged into the mountain stream.
This incident made Liu Junhao break out in a cold sweat. He no longer dared to lead the furry boy and others to look for centipedes. Instead, he carried a nail rake and ended it hastily.
He was really unwilling to return to the village in such a dejected mood. He thought about finding an uninhabited grave next time, maybe he could pick up a few. But he immediately gave up his attention. It was okay to dig indiscriminately when I was a child, but now as adults in their twenties, if they do such ridiculous things again, they will be scolded by their elders.?
"Knocking on the widow's door and digging the grave of the poor" seems to be the work of rogues.
Before I got home, I saw Mr. Liu Wu waiting in Professor Zhao¡¯s courtyard, shouting from a distance, ¡°Xiao Hao, have you dug up a centipede?¡±
"No, how about I go up the mountain to have a look tomorrow?" Liu Junhao replied somewhat depressedly. He planned in his mind that when he dug up centipedes, he would keep a few centipedes in the stone lock so that they could be taken out at any time when needed.
"It shouldn't be. There should be some on our mountain, but you haven't dug one out for so long?" Mr. Liu Wu was even more puzzled than he was, and asked in detail about the process just now.
Before Liu Junhao could speak, a group of naughty children started talking in all directions, and at the end they even held up cans and bottles for him to see the results.
"Let me tell you, if you can dig centipedes like this, you will be considered a ghost. How can you dig centipedes on the sunny side"
After hearing what the old man said, Liu Junhao patted his head, "No, I blame these naughty children for making noise in my ears, and I forgot about this" Although there are many centipedes on the sunny hillside in spring, in summer, These things are transferred to the damp shady side. My search on the hillside for a long time was completely in vain.
"Forget it, I'll dig a nest later and get some chicken feathers and horse dung to catch" Mr. Liu Wu saw that this guy was not good, shook his head and wanted to leave.
"Isn't that Hong Qigong's method of digging holes to catch centipedes?" Liu Junhao's eyes lit up. He had seen this method before in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but he had never had the opportunity to practice it. When the old man brought it up, he was very interested and hurriedly said, "Fifth Master, I will go with you later. I know where there are many centipedes"
"Fifth Master, we are going too!" Upon hearing this, Maozi and others immediately started shouting. These naughty kids always like to join in when they have nothing to do. "Okay, okay, you all go and collect chicken feathers and chicken bones. It's best for everyone to pick up some tiles." After hearing Liu Wuye's instructions, these children nodded.
After all the materials were prepared, Liu Wuye led everyone towards the mountain ridge. Of course, he did not make the same mistake again this time.
Liu Junhao took everyone directly to a wild grave, and then began to dig the hole according to the old man's instructions. There is only one main force here, and he can only do this job.
The pit is in the shape of a "ten", two meters long, half a meter wide, and twenty or thirty centimeters deep. Liu Junhao dug it with a few shovels with a shovel. Following Liu Wuye's instructions, everyone put chicken feathers, chicken bones, horse dung and decayed grass into the pit, and then covered it with branches, soil, bricks and tiles.
"Okay, let's go down the mountain." After digging three holes in a row, Master Liu Wu estimated that he would almost take everyone down the mountain.
"Is this the end?" The naughty kids looked at each other, thinking it was boring. They couldn't see the mystery at all.
"Yes, you can catch centipedes when you come here tomorrow morning."
It was already late when we went down the mountain, and Liu Jun finished the meal quickly. After dinner, taking advantage of the cool weather, the young couple took Red Rabbit and started walking slowly along the dirt road. Blow the evening breeze, listen to the chirping of cicadas, and catch grasshoppers He walked leisurely to the edge of the river embankment. Liu Junhao spread the prepared newspapers on the ground and sat there to watch the sunset. Xiaohuangpi got a newborn rabbit out of nowhere. He screamed happily and wanted to take credit, but Liu Junhao scolded him. The guy had to hide in the reeds with his tail between his legs to catch wild ducks.
I thought Zhang Qian would go home and rest after wandering around for a while, but she actually asked to go to the weir pond to listen to people talking about ancient times.
Seeing that his wife was in high spirits, Liu Junhao did not dissuade her. He just led Chitu to the stable, and then the couple led a few troublemakers to the village to play.
With the increase in tourists, the weir pond has become the busiest place in Liujiagou at night. After the summer heat subsides, many tourists gather here spontaneously to play chess, poker, watch TV, etc.
However, this is an activity for young people. Old people are more willing to sit on the stone pillars under the trees, fan their cattail fans and talk leisurely about the past and present The children are having a great time, dancing squares in the open space. ,hide and seek.
In the weir pond, you can hear the sound of frogs; on the poplar trees, there are chirping cicadas; at some point, fireflies also fly out to enjoy the cool air, twinkling in the distance, which is very beautiful.
Throughout the summer night, Liujiagou was so lively. It wasn't until after ten o'clock that the couple led Haoyu and others back home.
Just after dinner the next day, this group of impatient children gathered early in Liu Junhao's courtyard, preparing to follow him up the mountain to dig centipedes.
Liu Junhao was actually quite curious. He quickly cleaned the pots and dishes and set off with the rake.
This time, I was not disappointed. Seven large centipedes were dug out from the three pits. Liu Junhao broke off the stingers of all of them and threw them into the bottle.Regardless of how these children whirred as they went up the mountain, none of them dared to reach out and break off the poisonous thorns.
Liu Junhao shook his head when he saw it. Their courage was far worse than when he was a child.
After returning home, he got a few bamboo slices, sharpened the two ends, inserted one end under the centipede's palate, and inserted the other end into the tail. Then he straightened the centipede and put it in the sun to dry, ready to dry it for Liu Wu. Send it to me. Of course, to prevent his own hens from eating, he covered the windows with screens.
