Leeches, also known as leeches, can dispel blood and expel pathogens, promote menstruation and alleviate symptoms. They are mainly used to treat thrombosis, vascular disease, blood stasis, unknown swelling, lymph node lumps and other symptoms.
Most leeches are blood-sucking leeches, and only a small number feed on snails. The golden-line leech is a relatively rare non-blood-sucking leech. It lives in clear waters. Its body is spindle-shaped, with a green back and five golden vertical lines, hence the name golden-line leech.
The levels of hirudin, fibrin and antithrombin in the golden thread leech are much higher than those in the blood-sucking leech, making it an excellent medicinal material.
To catch golden leeches, one must first find a place with a water source. Female Bamboo Shoot Mountain is rich in water, with many streams and lakes formed by mountain springs. After walking for a while, the three of them found a clear stream.
After a long hike up the mountain, Zhan Feng felt thirsty. Seeing a stream ahead, he happily ran over and scooped up a handful of water to drink. The water was sweet, clear, and refreshing, perfectly quenching his thirst. He drank several long gulps. Yang Hongmei also wiped her face with a wet handkerchief. While late June wasn't the hottest weather, the humidity in the mountains was high, and the sweat sticking to her skin was uncomfortable.
Zhan Feng and Yang Hongmei were resting their feet to cool off, but Chen Qingshan wasn't idle. She walked slowly along the stream, her eyes scanning the water's surface. Soon, as if she had spotted her target, Qingshan crouched down and, with lightning speed, snatched something from the water with the swiftness of an osprey.
Zhan Feng heard the noise and thought Qingshan had caught a fish and was possessed by Erha, so he ran over to watch the fun. When he saw what Qingshan was holding with his fingertips, Zhan Feng's face turned green.
Chen Qingshan's jade fingers were as smooth as onions, and his fingertips were holding a fat, purple-red insect that was about one finger long and two fingers wide. The insect was pinched by Qingshan's vitals and was struggling desperately. Its body covered with mucus wrapped around Qingshan's fingers like a snake, and its round mouthparts opened and closed, revealing a circle of tiny sharp teeth inside.
Qingshan held the insect close to his nose and sniffed it. A fishy smell hit him in the face. It was a big blood-sucking leech. Blood-sucking leeches and non-blood-sucking leeches cannot coexist. It seems that there will be no golden leeches here, and he has to continue looking for other water sources.
Qingshan frowned and threw the leech back into the water. The leech saved its life and disappeared along the bottom of the water.
Zhan Feng felt his stomach churning. He couldn't believe there were such disgusting bugs in the seemingly clear water. He had just drunk several mouthfuls of it. Was there going to be anything wrong?
"Little doctor, what kind of bug was that just now?"
Qingshan clapped his hands and replied, "Leech. They're basically found in the waters of the south."
Zhan Feng felt like he was going to vomit: "Little Doctor, I, I just drank stream water, will it be possible, will it be possible..."
Qingshan felt amused when he saw that he looked constipated. Zhan Feng had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had an excellent physique. Recently, he had also developed a sense of dark energy. Even if he really drank the insect eggs, they would not hatch into insects in his body.
However, Chen Qingshan felt a pang of evil humor and decided to tease him:
"Master Zhan, don't you know you can't just drink raw water in the wild? Even the cleanest water contains many parasite eggs. Unless absolutely necessary, you should either boil it or filter it with medical-grade equipment before drinking it."
Zhan Feng's lips trembled. "Then, if I drink some wine with dinner, can I kill the insect eggs?"
Qingshan is about to burst out, this Zhan Feng is really a funny guy
"Mr. Zhan, I heard from Boss Gao that you are a graduate of the prestigious British university, the University of St. Andrews?"
Zhan Feng didn't know why Qingshan suddenly asked about his alma mater, and was a little confused, but he still answered honestly:
"Oh, yes! My father is an honorary trustee of St. Andrews. He donated an experimental building, and I was admitted by the school as an exception." After saying this, he puffed out his chest proudly.
Qingshan looked at him with a half-smile and nodded, "Yeah, great!"
Zhan Feng scratched his head a little embarrassedly when Qingshan praised him: "Not really, my best grade in a class was only a C-!"
Qingshan chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhan, you misunderstood. I was talking about your ability to reincarnate—it's amazing!"
Yang Hongmei couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, holding her stomach.
Zhan Feng also realized that Qingshan was joking with him, but he was not annoyed. Seeing the two beautiful girls smiling coquettishly, he also started to smile foolishly.
