The more you scratch, the more it itches.

The children all shared their experiences with her.

"Pick some fresh bitter melon leaves, rub them into a paste and apply it on the skin and it will stop itching. Really, my grandma did this to me when I had prickly heat."

"Use white wine to apply it. It will be very painful and stinging at first, but after a while the pain will subside and the itching will stop."

"Take a cold bath in the creek. Keep soaking in it. Your skin will become wrinkled and it won't itch anymore."

"Come to my house. I caused this. I'll ask my mother to wash her. If that doesn't work, I'll go find a doctor at the commune and give her a disinfectant injection."

Lu Manyue recognized that they were the children from Weijia Village, so she followed them to the home of the boy who had last slipped down from the tree.

The boy's name is Wei Jianshe, and his home is at the entrance of Weijia Village.

There are two thatched houses, one for living and one for cooking.

Wei Jianshe's mother Ma Chunhua was an honest woman who didn't talk much. When she heard that Lu Manyue was stung by a caterpillar fungus, she went into the house and searched for a long time before she found a piece of soap the size of a finger and a roll of tape.

After bringing Lu Manyue into the house, closing the door and lowering the window, Ma Chunhua asked Lu Manyue to take off her clothes quickly.

Lu Manyue hesitated for a moment, but because the itchiness was so unbearable, she obediently took off her clothes.

Ma Chunhua repeatedly used tape to stick the injured area and pulled out the fine hairs that had pierced the skin.

Then apply strong soapy water to the injured area.

She didn't say a word the whole time.

Lu Manyue gradually felt the pain ease, and she knew that this method was really effective.

"Sister-in-law, your method is really useful." Lu Manyue praised.

"The poison of shiso is acidic, and it can be neutralized with strong soapy water." Ma Chunhua rarely spoke up to explain.

"You know medicine and chemistry?" Lu Manyue asked in surprise.

"No, Jianshe was stung a few days ago. The newcomer Zhou Zhiqing said so, and I wrote it down. This soap and tape are also leftovers."

Zhou Zhiqing?

Zhou Ruhua?
