Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

She suddenly felt that peaches and sugar were not so important anymore.

Zhao Yeqing covered the honey again, took Mu Xi's hand and dragged him into the living room, trying to press his shoulders to make him sit on the bench.

Mu Xi raised his hand to stop her, "I have bee stings on my body that prick my hands."

He was wearing an outdoor jacket, a double-layered one. Bees couldn't sting it, and the broken tail pins would remain on the clothes. If they were accidentally touched, they would still be pierced into the flesh.

Mu Xi unzipped his clothes, took off his coat and put it aside. Under the clothes was a vest, which was almost soaked.

In the current temperature, if you wear a double-layered airtight jacket and climb mountains, it would be strange if you don't get soaked inside.

He was actually able to come back with a heavy load on his back, and he was really in good health if he didn't faint from heat stroke on the way.

Zhao Yeqing was a little frustrated. She felt that he didn't take care of his body, but he went out just to get honey for himself. She was so angry that she couldn't let it out.

Seeing that she could almost hang a bottle from her mouth, Mu Xi admitted her mistake with a smile, "I was wrong. I won't go again. I didn't expect it to take so long."

He pointed to the beehive outside, "Just because I encountered them, I thought about digging them up, otherwise I could come back early."

The honeycomb and honeycomb brought back by Mu Xi are two different things, as well as two types of bees.

Honey is produced by bees, and the hives brought back are full of white and fat bee pupae, which are wasps.

Mu Xi explained, "I went up the mountain to look for honey. It's summer now. I thought I was looking for yellow wattle flowers, and then I would definitely find a bee nest. I happened to encounter a hornet's nest first. I had to get rid of it first, which would have been delayed."

Zhao Yeqing pushed his shoulders down and asked him to sit on the bench. He became even more angry, "Is it so easy to poke a hornet's nest? What are you wearing on your head for protection?"

"The uniforms in junior high school were lined with net pockets, do you remember? If you take off the lining and put it on the hat, it's like a bee-proof hat."

Pretty smart.

But can this be boasted? Definitely not.

Zhao Yeqing snorted coldly, "Then why didn't you guard against the bag on your chin?"

"There are always surprises."

Wasps are not a good thing, they are very ferocious and will attack bees and people. If they see a big wasp nest on the mountain, they will call people to clean it out.

Wasps do not produce honey. They will eat nectar and fruits, but they mostly like to eat larvae and meat.

In other words, after Mu Xi dug out the hornet's nest, if he wanted to get the large pot of honey outside, he had to dig out another bee nest.

The bump on Mu Xi's chin looked like it was not a wasp sting, otherwise it would have swollen long ago.

The poisonous needles in the flesh need to be removed, but you cannot use anything to clamp them. There may still be venom in the poisonous needles. Once squeezed, the venom will be squeezed out and cause secondary damage, which is even more serious.

Another way is to use tape to stick it out, but boys' chins are full of stubble. No matter how much they are shaved, there will be some, which is not easy to stick.

She was also stung by a bee when she was a child. Her grandmother helped her suck out the sting with her mouth. After sucking it out, she could not swallow the saliva. She had to spit it out immediately and then rinse her mouth with salt water.

But she had injured her arm before, and Mu Xi’s wound was on his chin...

The intent of her eyes was too obvious, staring straight at his chin and swallowing.

Mu Xi looked away uncomfortably and cleared his throat, "Pick it with a needle."

It's not that it's impossible, it's just that she's afraid that her hands are shaking and she won't be able to pick it out and it will hurt him.

She was in a bit of a dilemma, and her cheeks and ears turned red.

Seeing her like this, Mu Xi no longer felt uncomfortable, and laughed muffledly.

Zhao Yeqing became angry and said, "You are so ridiculous."

She stood up and ran upstairs and back again, holding her sewing box in her hand, taking out a needle and sterilizing it with alcohol.

"Don't cry out that it hurts."

It hurts you so much.

That’s what I think, but I can’t do it.

Mu Xi was sitting on the bench, and Zhao Yeqing was standing. He gently held Mu Xi's chin with his hand and asked him to raise his head slightly.

"do not move."

Zhao Yeqing's attention was focused on Mu Xi's chin, unable to notice the changes around him.

Fortunately, I didn't notice the changes around me.

Otherwise, she would find that in the small space of the living room, someone's deep eyes were full of a person's reflection, and there was a pounding heartbeat.

The poisonous needle didn't prick deep enough, and he was quickly picked out.

Zhao Yeqing breathed a sigh of relief. The wound still needed to be cleaned with soapy water. She put the needle away and asked Mu Xi to sit still while she went to mix the soapy water.

Before I went there, I checked to make sure it was a bee sting, so I felt relieved.

The treatment methods for bee stings and wasp stings are opposite. Bee stings are acidic, so you need to clean the wound with alkaline soapy water. Wasp stings are alkaline, so if you are stung, you need to clean the wound with vinegar.

After cleaning the wound with soapy water, I found an anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment and applied it on it. I was relieved after confirming that there was only one wound.

Put away all the medicines, "You go take a shower first. What do you want to eat? I'll do it now."

"Eat the dumplings, don't cook if it's too late."

Frozen dumplings were not as delicious whether steamed or fried, so she chose the most convenient method of boiling them.

The dumplings cook very quickly, just let the water boil and float for another minute or two.

Mu Xi was stung by a bee and didn't know if he could eat vinegar. To be on the safe side, he mixed the soup base for his bowl while he took out the dumplings and dipped them in vinegar to eat.

While eating, Mu Xi talked about what happened today while eating.

Bees need nectar sources to collect nectar. In summer, the largest nectar source is yellow wattle. If you find yellow wattle, you can follow the bees to the hive.

So the hive shouldn't be too far away, Zhao Yeqing recalled, "I remember that yellow thorns grow on the sunny side."

"Yes, it's in the woods above the bayberry meadow."

When Mu Xi found Huang Jing, he saw many wasps attacking bees, so he went to dig out the wasp nest first.

He prepared torch materials when he went out. All bees are afraid of smoke, and the wasp is the same, but its nest is built in a tree and is not easy to operate.

Mu Xi used oil from a tree branch to light a torch, then sprayed water to wet the firewood. After the smoky torch was placed under the hive, he hid.

This hive is not particularly big, nor is it too small. There are a lot of bees. After squatting there for a long time, I waited for the opportunity to tear down the hive, smoke out the remaining queen wasps, put it in a basket and cover it.

Use torches to smoke on the way out to ensure that no wasps can follow.

Go find the bee nest when it's safe.

The bee nest was built in an old tree hole. There was a lot of space inside and there was a lot of honey. He only cut less than half of it, and there was a full pot.

Once all the honey in the bee nest is taken away, the bee colony will move and there will be no more honey in that place, so he only took half of it.

Zhao Yeqing was eager to try, "Then can we catch them and raise them?"
