There is a small river behind my hometown village. You can see water scorpions in the grass every summer. They usually lay eggs in June and July. The females will lay their eggs on the male’s back, so it looks like the male water scorpions
It is carrying countless little eyes.
Why do the water scorpions here in Miyao Mountain delay laying eggs until December? I don’t know, because I don’t dare to act rashly. Being stung by such a big water scorpion will hurt people to death!
I tried my best to keep my eyes open in the water, took out my knife, and carefully pushed the thing away. Then I kicked off my legs and swam upwards.
Coming out of the water, breathing heavily. .??.
After wiping my face, Brother Yu pulled me ashore.
After landing, take off your shirt and warm yourself around the fire. Otherwise, you may become hypothermic and feel a faint cramp in your thighs.
Under the light of the fire, I frowned and looked at the "stick" I had just fished out.
See clearly.
It has nothing to do with the scepter, this thing should be called "ceremony guard."
Originally there should be a sign attached to it.
In ancient times, when important people came out on the street, there would be special people holding this kind of ceremonial guard high. After hundreds of years, the upper part has long been lost, and only this stick remains.
Xiaoxuan wiped her hair dry and frowned, "It's so disgusting. What are these dense hairs?"
I said it seemed like the eggs of a water scorpion would hatch by next spring.
Douyazai was surprised and said, "Ah? Fengzi, there are field turtles in this river? Have you seen it?"
I nodded and talked about the scene that just happened underwater.
After hearing this, Xiaoxuan threw the guard of honor directly into the fire.
There was a crackling sound instantly, accompanied by the aroma of roasted chicken.
He raised his head and asked, "How are you doing? Can you still go into the water?"
I shook my head and said, "We haven't fished it all out yet. There should be some stuff in the mud at the bottom of the water, but we've run out of energy. I think something is going to happen. I feel like my thighs are going to cramp right now."
He said, "Let's eat something and rest first, and then we'll talk about it when our strength recovers."
After changing into dry clothes, the wet clothes were placed next to the fire to bake. Probably less than half an hour later, Dou Sprout fell asleep and dozed off.
I saw it first.
At some point, the clothes on the rack were covered with a layer of water scorpions!
When I looked down, I saw a lot of people crawling on the ground.
"Don't sleep! Get up quickly!"
My head suddenly woke up, I raised my head and asked me what was wrong.
At this time, a thumb-sized water scorpion flapped its wings and landed on the head and shoulders, followed by two, then three
r> Although Tou Tou was old, he reacted very quickly. He took off his coat and threw it away!
There was a stinging pain, and when I looked down, I saw something bit me on the back of my hand!
Everyone woke up, and Dou Sprout cursed loudly, jumped up and down, and slapped himself hard!
Xiaoxuan was so frightened that she screamed!
I panicked and yelled, "Be careful! Stay away from the grass!"
Perhaps it is the revenge of nature, the revenge of animals!
Xiaoxuan burned those insect eggs, so she was attacked the most. I wanted to run over and help her, but at this moment!
A black shadow suddenly threw Xiaoxuan down!
Immediately afterwards, the tattered military coat completely covered Xiaoxuan!
It's Lao Wang.
He protected Xiaoxuan without moving and shouted loudly!!
More than ten minutes later.
I stood by the fire catching my breath.
Water scorpions cannot stay ashore for too long. They must return to the water after a while, otherwise they will die.
"Everyone is okay!"
"Damn, it hurts me so much!" Dou Sprout touched his neck and grimaced in pain.
"How are you, Lao Wang!"
I saw Lao Wang getting up from the ground, casually picking up his coat and putting it on. He seemed to be still drunk, his face turned red, and he waved his hands and said, "I'm fine, grandma! Why are there so many fields in the winter? It's really a ghost!"
"
Xiaoxuan also got up. She looked at Lao Wang with a look of shock on her face and said, "Uncle, let me help you look at the wound!"
"No, I'm fine."
Lao Wang pointed at the small river behind him and said with a smile, "You don't know, every summer, I come here to catch these field turtles to eat. It's common to get a few bites. I'm used to it."
Looking at Lao Wang, he speaks clearly and has a rosy complexion. He really doesn't look like something is wrong.
As he said, indeed, you are like some people who keep scorpions and are not afraid of scorpion stings at all, and people who keep snakes are not afraid of snake bites.
We put out the fire, packed up our things, and hurriedly left the creek with all the cultural relics we had picked up, and returned to the cave where Lao Wang lived.
This time the harvest was quite fruitful, a total of nineteen Xixia swords were caught! There were also some beautifully forged pieces of armor! Ceremonial guards and so on.
But here comes the headache.
Anyone who has been stung by a water scorpion should know that it hurts, hurts, and hurts.
A small red bump will bulge in the mouth area, and a clear liquid will flow out when squeezed gently.
This is a kind of poison, even if it hurts, you have to force it out.
The poison of the water scorpion can melt the organs and tissues. When it eats, it sucks the pus like a spider.
"Don't move. Can't you just hold it back? Are you a man?"
"Ouch! Fengzi, are you trying to take revenge on me? Please be gentler, it hurts so much!"
Dou Sprout looked like he was about to cry. He kept turning around and asked me to squeeze gently, saying it hurt.
At this time, Xiaoxuan hurried over, holding a ball of towel in her hand. For some reason, her face looked ugly.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Xiaoxuan's face turned pale, and her lips trembled as she said intermittently, "I can't handle Yunyunfeng."
"What can't be solved? Speak clearly."
Xiaoxuan shook her head violently: "Old Laowang, his back was bitten so badly that I can't treat the wound!"
After hearing this, I quickly took Xiaoxuan back.
After returning home, I saw Lao Wang lying face down on the haystack, with his entire back exposed to the air.
Was startled.
How should I describe it?
It was as if a layer of pomegranate seeds had been sprinkled on the old queen's back, and small bumps were bulging out where the water scorpions had stung her. Some of the bumps were broken and bleeding, and some were bleeding.
Xiaoxuan grabbed my arm and said in a clearly crying voice, "What should I do with Yunfeng! I can't handle it! Let's send him to the hospital quickly! He did this to save me!"
I recovered from the shock and said, what are you waiting for? Find a way to send him to the hospital quickly!
I walked closer and asked, "Lao Wang, can you hear me? Hold on, we will take you to the hospital now!"
The next second, Lao Wang grabbed my hand.
He turned his head and said with a pale face, "It doesn't hurt. Don't go to the hospital. I'll be right here. Give me a bottle of wine."
"Yes! I'll get it for you right now!"
I unscrewed the bottle and handed it over. Lao Wang grabbed it and put it into his mouth. He tilted his neck and drank it all in one minute.
After drinking all the wine, he struggled to stand up and walked out of the cave.
I quickly followed him out to persuade him, "Old Wang, listen to me! We will take turns carrying you out of the mountain. Now let's go to the hospital to see! It's definitely not too late!"
"No, it's too late."
Lao Wang opened his mouth to show me, and there was blood between his teeth.
He coughed and used half a
He said in a joking tone, "Brother, it's too late. I feel like my intestines are starting to melt. Besides, you have to register for an ID card when you go to the hospital, right? Then I might be arrested."
"Even if I die in the mountains! I don't want to go out and be arrested as a criminal. In fact, I died more than ten years ago, and the Geological Bureau has given my family so much pension."
He turned around and asked, "Do you all think I'm insane?"
I said nothing.
"Haha, you see, right?" Lao Wang pointed at me and said with a smile, "You are all on guard against me. You keep that big man staring at me all the time, because you are afraid that I will harm you, right?"
I remained silent because everything he said was right.
Lao Wang's eyes darkened and he sighed, "I have been alone for too long. Maybe I am really mentally disturbed. Now, I have three unkind favors."
"Old Wang, tell me."
"First, after I die, you must bury me in a place where the sun can shine. I am afraid of the cold in winter."
"Second, I have to eat the four bags of instant noodles there later. I haven't eaten in many years, and I will be a full man until I die."
I asked what is the third one?
Lao Wang grinned and said, "For the third time, I'll wait until the last moment."
Half an hour later.
There were bursts of aroma wafting in the cave. Lao Wang took a sip and drank the soup and said it was so fragrant.
He looked at Xiaoxuan and asked, "Girl, my last request is that I want to recognize you as my daughter, is that okay?"
Xiaoxuan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Then can you call me?"
"I, I" Xiao Xuanxian hesitated to speak.
At this moment, the bowl fell to the ground and the whole bowl of noodles was overturned.
As he watched, Lao Wang leaned against the haystack and slowly closed his eyes.
I'm not kidding. Water scorpions can really sting people to death. If you see one, stay away.
More than 100,000 is nothing. People are dead. Even if the country finds out, it can still get the money back.
Lao Wang calls himself Wang Pingbin, a former member of the Xiaolangdi Geological Team. His hometown is in Zhujiapo Village, Henan Province. His daughter must be 37 years old now. Her real name is unknown. Lao Wang’s grave is on a small hill northwest of the cave, where people can visit it all year round.
When the sun shines on it, it is a sunny land. There is a wooden board inserted on the tomb, which is engraved with "The Tomb of Wang Pingbin".
In 2014 or 2012, CCTV filmed a documentary about the Ecstasy. I heard that someone seemed to have seen Lao Wang’s grave? That was the one we buried with our own hands many years ago.
