Crazy: you call this a wildlife rescue station

Chapter 7 The Mysterious Flower
"Brother Lin Bei, the air here seems to be very humid."

"There are a lot of mosquitoes, look at the big black patch over there."

"What kind of mosquito is this? Why is it so small, but it itches after being bitten."

"It's only March, why are the mosquitoes so active?"

The crowd yelled.

"The environment here is humid, and puddles like this shrub next to it are breeding grounds for mosquitoes."

"Everyone, be careful, there may be mountain leech in this kind of place."

Lin Bei looked around and reminded.

"Ah! Locust, I'm most afraid of that thing."

"We can still bear mosquitoes, and things like leeches are too disgusting."

"Yeah, if that thing crawls on me, I'll feel my scalp go numb just thinking about it."

"Miaomiao, help me see if there are any leeches on my body!"

"Ahh! I hate this thing the most."

Huang Jia, the girls with Xu Yan couldn't help muttering.

"The mountain leech and the water leech are close relatives. They are also called dry leeches. They are both annelids of the leech family, but they are more fearful than water leeches and harder to guard against."

"Water leeches live in the water, and they are afraid that they will not be attacked unless they enter the water. This kind of mountain leech lives in the bushes on the mountain, and the mountain leech has a very sensitive sense of smell and suckers. As long as animals or people pass by, it will Perception, quickly adsorbed on animals or human bodies, releases an anesthetic component, allowing animals or people to be bitten and invaded by it without knowing it, and suck blood, but animals or people don’t know it.”

"The most fearful thing is that the mountain leech lives in groups. Once bitten, it is likely to be beaten by a group. Up to several mountain leech attack the target at the same time, and the adsorption force is super strong. It is difficult for them to give up their bite without using drugs."

"Everyone fasten your collars and trousers tightly."

Then I will find something for you and apply it on the exposed skin so that you don't have to be afraid of leeches.

Lin Bei explained.

"But we didn't bring Fengyoujing and safflower oil either."

"Is alcohol okay?"

"What can have this effect???"

"Could it be herbal medicine? Wow, Lin Bei, you know so much?"

Huang Jia squinted at Lin Beidao.

"In fact, if you find that you are bitten by leeches, it is also useful to apply alcohol."

"But what I'm looking for is a plant that prevents mosquito bites and also prevents leeches."

"Follow the old horse and the others first, and I'll look for you in the bushes here." Lin Bei said.

Lin Bei, who owns the Shennong Baicao Jing, has already read the surrounding plants.

After finding an excuse, he found a few mugwort leaves in the bushes.

Artemisia argyi also known as wormwood
Nature and flavor are pungent, bitter, warm; slightly poisonous.

Return liver, spleen, kidney channel.

It has the effects of warming the meridians to stop bleeding, dispelling cold and relieving pain; external application can relieve dampness and relieve itching.

After crushing its leaves, Lin Bei put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and he could smell a strong and special pungent fragrance.

Picking some mugwort leaves growing beside him, he stuffed them into his pocket, and Lin Bei quickly caught up with the team.

"Come here, this is mugwort leaf. If you are afraid of mosquitoes and locusts, take this leaf, crush it and apply it on the exposed skin, that's all."

"Although the smell is a bit unpleasant, it's better than being bitten by mosquitoes and leeches."

Lin Bei handed the Ai Ye in his pocket to Xu Yan, and talked to Huang Jia.

"It's really Aiye, I really like to smell it."

"During the Dragon Boat Festival in previous years, our family would still buy mugwort leaves for incense."

"The smell of this mugwort leaf is too bad, so we don't want it." Lin Miaomiao waved his hand to Liu Hai beside him.

Xu Yan, Huang Jia and the girls didn't say anything.

Crush mugwort leaves and apply the juice around the neck and ankles.

After applying the mugwort juice, the group continued to walk deep into the jungle.

"Hey, this mugwort leaf really has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, no mosquitoes have bitten me anymore."

"Yeah, I was bitten several times on my ankles, and after applying mugwort leaf juice, it didn't itch anymore. It's more effective than Fengyoujing."

"This mugwort leaf also has a refreshing and cooling feeling inside, it seems that mosquitoes don't like this smell."

"Okay, don't worry, the mosquitoes stopped biting you and started biting us." Liu Hai on the side complained.

"Yeah, I was bitten five or six times just now."

Snapped.
A burst of applause suddenly sounded in the forest.

A black and white flower mosquito was slapped to death by Lin Miaomiao.

"Look, such a small mosquito has sucked a lot of blood."

Everyone looked curiously. On Lin Miaomiao's forehead, there was a bloodstain, and there was a swatted mosquito body in the middle.

This funny scene immediately made everyone in the scientific expedition team burst into laughter.

"This is what you men have done to yourself, who told you not to apply some mugwort leaf juice."

"I'll pick some mugwort leaves later, otherwise I won't be sucked dry by the mosquitoes in the forest at night."

"Hey, Lin Bei, our men were all bitten to death by mosquitoes, why are you acting like a normal person! Could it be that you and mosquitoes are relatives, and they don't bite you?" Old Ma asked curiously.

"You are related to mosquitoes. I have covered my neck with mugwort leaves!" Lin Bei rolled his eyes and said.

"Pfft ha ha ha, relative of the mosquito, Ma, you are too funny."

"Hahaha, it's really interesting. I originally thought that this scientific examination in the mountains would be boring, but I didn't expect that you are all funny." Xu Yan covered her mouth and smiled.

Half an hour later, everyone climbed over the ridge and came to a relatively open space.

Here, there are no trees that block the sky and the sun, and the sun can shine on everyone through the shade of the trees.

"Everyone, let's rest here for half an hour."

"It's not as wet as in the woods, and it's a bit more open."

"If anyone is going to the toilet, they must go together, not alone."

"Old Ma, you and Brother Liu pay attention to the surrounding situation." Lin Bei arranged.

"Well, don't worry, we are watching." The old horse nodded and said.

After resting for half an hour, Lin Bei was preparing to gather everyone and continue on the road.

I heard the voices of Huang Jia and Xu Yan talking from the dense bushes on the left.

"Sister Xu Yan, come and see, what kind of plant is this, it's so beautiful!"

"My God, this is definitely the most beautiful flower I have ever seen."

"This is a tea tree, right? But why does it produce purple flowers?"

"How about we ask Lin Bei to come and take a look?" Xu Yan suggested.

"What is it? We are ready to assemble and set off, what are you guys still doing there?" Lin Bei shouted.

"Ah! Lin Bei, come here quickly. When we just relieved ourselves, we found a camellia, which is very beautiful."

"Sister Xu Yan said that its flowers and stamens are very similar to Camellia japonica, but the color is indeed purple." Huang Jia explained aloud.

"Golden camellia tree? That's the giant panda known as the plant kingdom, a living fossil, how could it appear in this bush."

"No way, Xu Yan should have researched these plants, can't she see it? Is it true?"

"Purple flowers? Shall we go and have a look?" The old horse beside him patted Lin Beidao.

"Let's go and have a look!" Lin Bei and the others put on their backpacks and walked towards the bushes where Huang Jia and Xu Yan were.
