Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 218 Female Educated Youth in Yanggao Village

The educated youths from the two villages were having a lively chat, and they felt as though they had met each other too late.We even discussed that after finishing the autumn harvest, everyone would come together often.

When the weather gets colder, wouldn't it be nice to chat around the small stove and drink a few glasses of wine if possible?
After all, they are all educated youths from the city, and they seem to be naturally closer to each other than the villagers.

Unexpectedly, while they were chatting happily, Zhao Yu, Diao Qingsong and Xu Wannian saw Wang Chengzhou leaving and quickly chased after him without even having time to say hello to their new friends.

Even Yu Hua also touched the short hair around his ears, ignored the fat female educated youth comrade, and quickly followed him.

The four educated youths in Shuixi Village were stunned when they saw it.

He looked like he was congenial just now, but why did he take the initiative to get closer to that young man who was born and raised in the countryside in the blink of an eye?Shouldn't we be in the same group?
Several people were stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicably betrayed. They looked at each other and quickly quickened their pace.

The atmosphere in the team suddenly became subtle.

Autumn has just begun in August.

The fields have both the greenness of midsummer and the richness of autumn.In addition to the stick-like bracts growing in the corn fields, some fields also have trellises, and late cucumbers are crawling all over the branches, with numerous fruits hanging on them.

The big one is about a foot long, with white burrs, and the small yellow flowers on the top have not yet fallen off.On a hot day, just looking at it makes your saliva secrete faster.

If there is no one around, you have to go in and pick a few.Rubbing the little thorns off your cloth shirt and eating while walking, that’s what it’s called an outing!

Wang Chengzhou thought about it blindly and couldn't help but swallowed.

Hearing the noise around him, Wang Fan opened his eyes, as if he had found someone of the same kind, and stared at the cucumbers in the ground. His eyes were also shining. He couldn't help but rub him with his shoulder, winked, and smiled. .

Being stingy is actually not a big problem. Wang Chengzhou has no prejudice against him, and he grinned when someone saw through his little thoughts.

"Wang Chengzhou, I didn't expect you, a hygienist, to be as shameless as the rest of us. It's interesting!"

"What kind of pretentiousness is there? Don't health workers also have to pant, eat, poop and fart? They are all serving the people, who can be better than the other?"

Wang Chengzhou finally stopped thinking about stealing cucumbers and chatted casually.

Wang Fan scratched his head and smiled even more happily. It seemed that the distance between the two people had suddenly become much closer.

However, a horse cannot fly without a head and a bird cannot fly without wings.

Since the Autumn Protecting Team is a small organization, it must have a leader.Otherwise, if a bunch of people hold their own opinions, wouldn't it be chaos?

Wang Chengzhou did his duty and naturally had to shoulder this important task.Apart from him, I'm afraid no one has this kind of prestige.

So, when he was about to arrive at Yanggao Village, he suddenly stopped, stood at the crossroads, and said loudly:

"Everyone, stop for a moment. I need to make something clear first."

"When we enter the mountain later, everyone, please follow me closely and don't run around. Everyone, we must not leave the team and act privately!"

"To the east is Yanggao Village, and to the north are the crop fields of Yanggao Village. Logically speaking, as the autumn protection team, we should follow the route and inspect the fields of each village one by one."

"But several knowledgeable comrades from Yanggao Village went to Funiu Mountain without permission. For safety, we have to go to the mountains to find them first, and then we can talk about patrols."

"I declare once again that no one is allowed to run around after entering the mountain. If you need to leave the team, please ask me for instructions in advance. Do you understand?"

His voice was sparse. Except for a few educated youths from Wangjia Village, those from Shuixi Village pretended to be looking at the scenery and didn't take him seriously at all.

Wang Chengzhou frowned, but he didn't want to show too much force.

It doesn't matter whether this young master or young lady from the city caters to him or not, as long as he doesn't jump out to oppose him like a thorn in the side.

Know how to go with the crowd, follow them well, and do your best to ensure their safety.

Ahead is a trail into the mountain, which should be the only way into the mountain nearby.There are lush weeds growing everywhere else, and further inside there are endless mountains and forests.

Not to mention building a bridge across mountains and rivers, there are many inconspicuous dangers in the mountains and forests. For example, there may be ticks in the grass.Being sucked into the body by that thing, if not handled properly, is likely to cause local infection, which may even be life-threatening in severe cases.

Ticks carry a variety of bacteria and viruses and are blood-sucking insects with long mouthparts.If you find it lying on your skin and pull it out of fear, it can easily drop its mouthparts into your body, creating a continuous source of infection.

There have even been many cases in the news of people dying after being bitten by ticks.

Almost all are caused by improper handling.

The correct method is to smear it with alcohol, wait until the tick is anesthetized or dead, and then use tweezers to pick it out.

Of course, in this day and age, it is impossible for Wang Chengzhou and others to carry medical alcohol with them. If they are really bitten, they will either let it lie on their bodies and suck blood, and wait until they get back.

Or, you have to open your mind and use traditional Chinese medicine.

In fact, there are many things in nature that can inhibit this thing, such as peppercorns, mint, and toad venom.

There is no shortage of these things in the mountains.

Just get some wild peppercorns or wild mint, squeeze out the juice, and drip it on it to have the same effect as alcohol.Both mint and peppermint have anesthetic and insecticidal effects.

As for toad venison, let alone it.Wang Chengzhou also coveted that thing for a while, but gave up temporarily because it was too dangerous.

Fortunately, there were no accidents while walking along the winding trails in the mountains.

A group of educated youths looked at the lush green in the mountains and fields, and even stretched out their arms happily, breathing in the fresh air with intoxicated faces. "Ah, how beautiful! I really want to build a wooden house in this mountain forest and imitate the hermits in ancient times. I no longer have to worry about the heavy farm work and can live a life accompanied by flowers and birds."

A young man wearing glasses from Shuixi Village was actually better at articulating words than Zhao Yu, and he began to express his emotions again.

A group of people immediately gathered together and began chattering, remembering that they were intellectuals again.Each one talks about ideals, values, sentiments, etc., words that are incomprehensible.

Wang Fan scratched his greasy beard and was a little dumbfounded.

Wang Chengzhou frowned and did not rush.

It was obvious that after entering the mountains, the wild boar had already burrowed into nowhere.The four educated youths in Yanggao Village probably took advantage of the opportunity to catch pigs and went to the mountains to play like them.

However, seeing that it was noon, we could no longer let them express their emotions.

Everyone got back on the road and searched for a long time before finally finding the four long-lost figures by a mountain stream.

They are two men and two women.The two girls were young, probably about the same age as Xu Xiaozhi. They were sitting side by side by the stream with bare feet, playing in the water.

It seems that protecting autumn is really regarded as an outing.

The two boys are slightly older, probably in their early twenties, one or two years older than Zhao Yu and the others.At this moment, he was also playing the role of the big brother, lowering his head and looking for something in the nearby bushes.

Hearing the noise, the four people looked up together.

"Jian Mo, Jian Li!"

From a distance, Yu Hua waved his hand and greeted excitedly.Obviously I know them.

"Sister Yu Hua, why are you here?"

As I got closer, I realized that the two girls looked exactly the same, except for a slight difference in their faces. They were carved from the same mold.

The skin of both of them is very white, as if made from milk, which is extremely rare in the countryside.He has a chubby face and delicate facial features.The big eyes and high bridge of the nose are decorated with a pair of eyebrows that make them extremely smart.

Especially the lips, which are thin and red, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, with a hint of arrogance, and he opened his mouth and said:
"It's really annoying!"

"We finally came up with an idea, deceived everyone, and went to the mountains to relax for half a day. But before noon, we were caught by the guys."

"You are all educated youths from the city, right? You are so honest!"

After one finished speaking, the other added as if concluding his statement, "Who says it's not the case?"

Looking at the delicate faces of the two, Wang Chengzhou frowned slightly.

Twins are not rare, but what is rare is the temperament of the two of them. At a glance, you can tell that they are not something ordinary people can cultivate.

This is really strange.

A small production team of the Wang family has so many children from wealthy families gathered together. Is it a coincidence?

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Li, you two are really naughty!"

Everyone finally got together. A group of male educated youths were still shocked by the appearance of the twin sisters, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Seeing this, Yu Hua chuckled and could only break the ice and continue to scold them, "Do you know how dangerous the mountains are? Wang Chengzhou said that there are even leopards in Funiu Mountain. Are you really risking your life just to have some leisure?"

"Who is Wang Chengzhou?"

"Shouldn't you be talking about Wang Jianguo?"

The two sisters asked questions one after another, curling their lips in disbelief, "Sister Yu Hua, you are really good at scaring people!"

"That kind of thing can only be found in the deep mountains, right? Otherwise, how can everyone dare to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables in spring?"

"The area near the village is our territory!"

"Yes. Otherwise, how could that big stupid pig be so frightened by us that it twist its butt and turn around and run away?"

After hearing their words, Xu Wannian's expression changed slightly.

Yu Hua's cheeks turned slightly red and he hurriedly said:

"You two, don't talk nonsense!"

"If the villagers hadn't worked together, that wild boar would have been scared away by you two little girls?"

"Anyway, regardless of whether there are leopards or not, you guys have to go with us. The brigade is asking us to protect the crops, not just to travel around."

Unexpectedly, after hearing her say these words with a straight face, the twin sisters clutched their stomachs and immediately started to act silly, "Oh, I can't walk anymore, I'm going to starve to death!"

"Brother Han Xuenong, brother Li Jigong, have you found anything to eat?"

"We're so hungry that we don't even have the energy to walk!"
