Chapter 172 Yaya Raising Silkworms

"Let's not talk about that, how does your body feel now?"

Fan Ming frowned and said: "I feel that nothing is wrong. Every time after acupuncture, my whole body is itchy to death. Hasn't it happened again for such a long time? Grandpa Zhang said that it is not good and needs treatment. Also Not when is the end." She had told Xing Rushui several times, but Xing Rushui didn't agree.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said nothing, of course he knew the reason why he didn't have an attack during this period, it wasn't because he had been cured, but because of the water he drank and the environment he was in: "You should treat it patiently, don't think about it wildly."

Fan Ming's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd color.

Then Zhang Taiping found the old man, who was arranging the herbs on the medicine shelf behind the desk.Although he promised that Zhang Taiping was in Li's house, the old man seldom went to the front room where Zhang Taiping lived, and spent most of his time outside, either gathering herbs in the mountains or leading Ah Huang to buy some small game.

Now that the old man has gone down the mountain again, people in the village will come to let the old man see if they have any illness. We all know that the old man does not take money from the villagers when he sees a doctor. The local products here are either things for daily use, or mountain products or medicinal materials collected in the mountains.

"Grandpa, how is Fan Ming's illness?" Zhang Taiping asked.

The old man pondered for a while and replied, "It's very strange."

For the old man's statement, Zhang Taiping had some guesses in his heart, so he asked, "What's so strange?"

The old man pushed in the small drawers arranged on the medicine shelf and said: "I told you, I have seen such a patient before. The treatment time of this disease is very long, and the condition may gradually fade away before it is cured. It's getting better, but it won't be as if she's completely fine now. I've made a careful diagnosis several times, and it's true that her condition still exists, but it's suppressed for some reason. I can't find it Suppress the cause of her condition."

Although the old man had never seen the space spring, he explained its effects in detail by virtue of his superb medical skills.Zhang Taiping knew that the reason why Fan Ming's illness did not recur and act like a normal person when he was in his home was all because of the spatial spring water and a series of items derived from it.

"This is a good thing, as long as the disease is restrained, wouldn't it be better to be cured!" Zhang Taiping said.

"It's not necessarily a good thing. If the cause is not found, there are too many unknowns. Who knows what kind of effect this substance will have in the next stage, so we still can't prescribe the medicine rashly." The old man practiced medicine all his life, As the saying goes, what you see is more salty than Zhang Taiping's, and you won't be tempted until you figure it out in the end.

Zhang Taiping could only pick up some good consolations, and he didn't dare to speak for sure in front of the old man.A Xing Rushui could guess by clues that Fan Ming's condition was suppressed because of himself. If he talked too much in front of the old man, it would be more likely to arouse suspicion.The old man is old, but his eyes are still sharp in his heart. After decades, it is not covered. If he is a little careless, he may be caught. The problem is his own.

"Then if you want to heal, what medicinal materials do you need?" Zhang Taiping asked with concern.

"Don't worry about it, you won't find it if you tell me. I think the little girl's background is not simple. Most of the medicines can be found. As for the few, it depends on luck. It's no big deal if you can't find it. Just replace it with other medicinal materials, but the effect is not as good, but it can barely make do."

Zhang Taiping choked for a moment, rubbed his nose embarrassingly and exited the room.

"Dad, Dad." Zhang Taiping was about to find something to do when Yaya's voice came.The figure of the little girl came in, followed by the little girl Tian Tian.

Zhang Taiping asked: "What is it?"

"Here, look what this is!" He said and lifted the thing in his hand for Zhang Taiping to see.

Bowing his head, he saw a matchbox held on his white and tender hands, some small bugs were crawling inside, some were still black and some had already turned white.

"Is this a silkworm?" Zhang Taiping took the small box into his hand and asked, he was not very sure, he had never seen it before.

Yaya nodded her head: "Well, this is the silkworm that Heizi gave me and Tiantian." Tiantian also handed over the matchbox in his hand.

Heizi was the one who roasted yams with a whole pile of wheat stalks at the instigation of Wang Laoqiang, and he didn't know where these silkworms came from.Now there is no one in the village to raise silkworms. In spring, only children will rummage through boxes and chests to find some silkworm eggs saved last year, raise them for a year, witness the whole growth process, and wait until the final butterflies lay eggs. Eggs are saved and raised until next year.This is considered a cycle of silkworm rearing.

Children are very interested in this, Yaya looked at Zhang Taiping still looking at the little silkworms in the box, and asked: "Father, what are you feeding the silkworms?"

Zhang Taiping thought for a while, searched his memory and said: "Mulberry leaves and lettuce leaves are both fine." In his memory, he still remembered that if he fed lettuce leaves, he would grow quickly, but in the end he would easily die of diarrhea. "It's better to feed mulberry leaves."

"Then where are the mulberry leaves?" Yaya raised her head and looked at Zhang Taiping expectantly, and there was an expectant Tian Tian in the future.

"Let's go, Dad will pick mulberry leaves for you." Zhang Taiping remembered that there was a big mulberry tree near the village. People called the mulberry leaves silkworms, and the mulberry trees silkworm trees.

Zhang Taiping took Yaya's little hand, and Tiantian behind him showed envy in his eyes, lowering his head and preparing to follow behind.Zhang Taiping stretched out his hand, the little girl was stunned.

"Hurry up every day." Yaya shouted from the other side.Xiao Tiancai stretched out his hand timidly and was held by Zhang Taiping's big hand.Now it is no longer as dirty as before. Occasionally, Fan Ming will tie a few pigtails for her and Yaya, and now there is a bright smile on his face, which can melt anyone. Father's heart.

For her, her father only appears in her dreams. When others are acting like a baby in her father's arms, the little girl can only show envious expressions. A person finds a big tree behind the stomach and cries, and then washes his little face in the river and returns home.Because if I cry and go home, my mother will hold her and cry when she sees her, so Xiaoxiao is sensible and doesn't want to make her mother sad. Every time, she washes her face before going back.

Zhang Taiping walked towards the silkworm tree on the edge of the village, holding a happy little girl on the left and the right.

Hey, thinking that there are quite a few people here, the big mulberry tree is surrounded by a group of big and small people who are just jumping around carefree.This big mulberry tree is quite old, Zhang Taiping stretched his arms around it and was able to hug it, these boys must not be able to climb up, they can only hook down with poles below.However, the tree is too tall, the pole can only reach a small part below, and the large part above can only be seen but cannot be seen.

When Zhang Taiping came over, several boys were sending a boy to a high place in a stacked Arhat style.The top of the Naihe tree is straight and there is no starting point, and a group of boys can't climb up.

"My father can pick silkworm leaves." Yaya shouted proudly to a group of boys after she arrived.Every day beside him is also a look of honor.

After hearing Yaya's words, those boys hurriedly moved out of the way, Zhang Taiping rubbed his hands and said to Yaya: "Watch Dad pick silkworm leaves with you!"

Clutching the tree like a spirit shaft, he climbed up the tree deftly, stood on the trunk that could bear his own weight, broke off the densely leafy branches next to him and threw it down.

The children below all gathered around, but no one dared to snatch the silkworm leaves thrown down by Zhang Taiping.Yaya kept a part for herself and Tiantian, and then distributed the rest to the boys around her, and gave some extra silkworm leaves to Heizi who gave them silkworms.

After Zhang Taiping folded for a while, he climbed down from the tree again. He did not break the branches blindly, but purposefully and did not damage the main body of the mulberry tree, so he regarded it as pruning the mulberry tree.

After coming down, he said, "Heizi, do you still have silkworms here?"

It's just that Heizi, who was half a head taller than Yaya, saw Zhang Taiping questioning him, so he quickly took out a bunch of newspapers from his pocket.When a child likes something, he can't wait to tie it to his body with a rope.He also knows that silkworm eggs need warmth to hatch into silkworms, and hiding them personally can not only keep them warm but also prevent them from being lost.

Zhang Taiping opened the newspaper, inside was a ball of cotton, inside the cotton was a palm-sized newspaper full of silkworms.

"There is quite a lot of cotton, where did it come from?" Zhang Taiping asked casually, divided the silkworm seeds into two halves, took half for himself, and returned the other half.

Heizi took Canzi, wrapped it in cotton and stuffed it into his bosom, saying, "This was taken out of the quilt."

Zhang Taiping was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you afraid that your mother will punish you?"

"I took a needle and thread and sewed up the hole again."

Zhang Taiping was speechless, this kid is really clever.He put the silkworms in his pocket and put them in the space, but he planned to raise some inside.He doesn't know what can make the space evolve further, so whenever he finds novel species, he will take in some.

After returning, Zhang Taiping took off the mulberry leaves and put them in a pocket next to the bucket, so as to keep them moist and fresh.The small matchbox must be unusable, so a new bamboo basket was made for the two of them to raise silkworms.
