Chapter 186

I read the letter and found out that Pei Hong and his team went to the island yesterday. During the day, everyone paid attention to avoiding the heat, so they prepared summer tea, mung bean soup, and sour plum soup. They

were busy until the evening, and some problems occurred. The members of the collection team had agreed to continue collecting the next day.

Who knew that the whole fleet was in a mess when they woke up in the morning. Several members were bitten by mosquitoes, and their health bars were half gone. There was no good meat on the exposed part of their bodies.

The blood loss from the mosquito bites was not the main point. As long as the blood was not sucked out directly, it could be replenished by drinking some medicine. The main point was that the itching was unbearable.

While the team doctor was looking for medicinal materials, a team member scratched himself. If everyone hadn't paid attention to this matter, the player would have been infected.

Fang Yueyi took out the artificial skin film and Baibaodan given by Qiao Sheng, applied the medicine to the player, put on the film, and scrubbed with honeysuckle water given by the team doctor, which relieved the pain.

Pei Hong's email to Li Mu also emphasized the Chinese herbal medicines for repelling mosquitoes. The simplest ones are wormwood, mint, patchouli, etc., which are dried and ground into powder, then put into sachets, hung in the cabin, and worn with people.

If you have been bitten, you can not only use honeysuckle water, but also the rhizome of Amaranthus oleifera. I also sighed that it would be great if I could have calamine lotion or wind oil.

Knowing the methods of repelling mosquitoes and the medicines to relieve itching, Li Mu first went to take inventory of the supplies in the locker, picked out all the supplies that could be used, and opened the trading system to look for the supplies that were not available.

Qiao Sheng rubbed his ears with cotton cloth soaked in honeysuckle water, slowly looking for mosquitoes in the cabin, cleaned the second floor, and went to the cabins on other floors, and then found that the worst-hit area seemed to be on the third floor.

However, most of them were concentrated in the livestock area, and there were no mosquitoes near the planting area on the other side.

A closer look revealed the reason. The planting area was planted with Chinese medicine for making summer tea. Patchouli, honeysuckle and other things were planted here, and there were really not many mosquitoes here.

When they went to the livestock area, they found not only mosquitoes but also flies. It seemed that the problem was caused by animal feces. Qiao Sheng was immediately worried and quickly called Li Mu to come up and help.

The two of them first built a fence around the area, then took the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep out of their kennels and put them in the fence next to them.

Then they cleaned the kennel from inside to outside, from top to bottom, and collected the straw and feces that were contaminated with feces and threw them into the toilet on the second-floor terrace.

At this time, they didn't care about the fact that feces could be turned into fertilizer, especially when Li Mu pointed at the feces and said that there were already insect eggs on them. Qiao Sheng couldn't see it, but seeing the many white spots on the dark feces, he knew something was wrong.

Li Mu was responsible for packing the feces into banana leaves, and Qiao Sheng was responsible for sending the packed banana leaves into the toilet. Then he went to the first floor to put sea water into a large wooden barrel, transported it to the third floor, and used a wooden basin to splash it into the livestock kennels.

Use a broom to scrub each kennel. There is a large wooden fan outside the door. Now that the ship is drifting on the sea, the wooden fan is also fanned. Once the air circulates, the wooden walls, fences and decks that have just been scrubbed dry very quickly.

After everything was dry, they began to put straw and banana leaves in the den, cleaned the plastic buckets that tied them up for swimming, and refilled them with rainwater. They were busy all the time until noon when they put all the livestock back in place.

"Continue with the sesame sauce cold noodles at noon? See if you can make a big iron plate for making cold skin later, and use our iron pot to make it. If it works, I'll wash the noodles tonight, and we'll switch to cold skin tomorrow." After cleaning up the livestock area, Qiao Sheng was finally in the mood to prepare food.

Li Mu asked about the style and material in detail, and then went downstairs with Qiao Sheng to the toilet to wash and change clothes. He had been with these excrement all morning, and felt that his respiratory tract was contaminated.

After lunch, Qiao Sheng started fishing. In the morning, when Li Mu went to the trading system to look for orders for Chinese medicine, he found that because the freshness of ingredients has been greatly shortened recently, the exchange ratio of various fish ingredients has increased to a certain extent.

In addition, some players have the weakness debuff after heat stroke, and can only be forced to exchange materials for ingredients. All these conditions have led to the hot sales of orders for ingredients.

Anyway, we are still drifting on the sea, sitting in the cabin full of ice cubes, fishing is just a pastime.

"This game is so suitable for fishermen. If we can go back, will we also become fishermen, regardless of day or night, regardless of the weather, just find a place to fish." Qiao Sheng put away the fish that had just bitten the hook and asked the person standing in front of the locker.

"From what I know about the two of us, I won't. You would probably watch TV series or play games with this time, while I would probably choose to read books or exercise at home." Li Mu stopped tidying up the cabinet and turned his head to answer sincerely.

"That's it. It's too familiar. There's no privacy at all. I have to refute you. I also watch short videos and have other entertainment projects! It's not just watching TV series and playing games. But when I think about it, it seems that I can live without electronic products. We have been like this for more than half a year. Going to bed early and getting up early, running around every day to live a more comfortable life, seems to be quite fulfilling." Qiao Sheng stared at the fishing rod in a daze.

The topic was too heavy, Li Mu quickly reminded her that the fish was hooked, and then asked how to make cool skin to divert her attention.

I don't know how to do it specifically, anyway, this afternoon, Li Mu managed to snatch mugwort and mint from the trading system and planted them in the pots upstairs.

I turned around and found that the smell was wrong again. The others were fine, but the smell of sheep and pigs was too strong. After repeated consideration, I still didn't move them to the terrace. At least there was ice in the cabin to cool it down. If I move them out, the smell will probably be even stronger.

It seems that I can't clean these nests every two or three days in the future. Not to mention cleaning twice a day, I have to clean them at least once a day, otherwise the two of them living downstairs will suffer from the breeding of mosquitoes and flies.

After cleaning these, I went downstairs to get the iron products and began to try to make the tray that Qiao Sheng mentioned. When I was busy in the kitchen, I looked up and saw her standing at the position of the beehives at the bow.

Before he could go out to ask, Qiao Sheng came back. The beehive had been there for quite some time, and they had never received any honey. They were too busy before and had not noticed it at all. Just now, when he came out to collect the fresh water in the filter, he suddenly remembered it when he saw the beehive.

"We seem to have forgotten to plant the flowers. Can you check if the bees are still alive? If they are dead, we may have to catch them again." Li Mu was stunned by her question, and he immediately remembered that they had missed a step in the beehive.

Qiao Sheng thought it was true, and hurried over to check. Fortunately, there was honey in the beehive, and the bees were still alive, but they didn't look very active.

The two were faced with a difficult problem again. There was no place to pick flowers while drifting on the sea. This time, Qiao Sheng used his brain. He ran back to the cabin, took the seeds of the locust tree, cut down two mature coconut trees near the beehive, and replanted the locust tree.

He hesitated for a while when deciding whether to adjust the flow of time, but decided to let the locust tree mature naturally. After all, they had been hungry for so long, and a few days would not make a difference.

Li Mu's iron tray was made in just two hours. Qiao Sheng added water and put it on the iron pot and measured it a few times. He felt that there was no problem, so he started to wash the noodles. Except for a little waste of fresh water, everything else was fine.

In the end, a piece of gluten was washed out, plus several basins of noodle water. The noodle water that needed to be precipitated was brought into the cabin. He also emphasized to inform the monks not to mess with these basins of water, otherwise they would not have a share of the delicious food tomorrow.

The threat of not being given food and going without food for a day was very effective for these eagles. Except for the little eagle that was still drinking milk, the other four all moved a distance away. Ah Dai found that the little eagle did not move, so he immediately went back and held the little eagle's neck in his mouth and moved away from the bowls of noodle water.

You can't eat liangpi tonight, but you can put some gluten in the cold noodles for dinner, steam it in a pot, take it out and cut it into small pieces when it's cooked. Just that piece of gluten can be eaten for several meals.

Unfortunately, this thing is too wasteful of flour, and it's impossible for the two of them to eat all the liangpi while squatting, so forget about roasted gluten, it's still okay as a side dish for mixed noodles.

At night, Li Mu went upstairs to collect all the mature mugwort and mint, and then planted a new batch. I don't know how effective fresh mugwort and mint are, but it is definitely better than nothing.

Scatter them in various corners of the cabin and dry them in the shade. When they are dry, they can be ground into powder to make sachets.

The two of them took a bath in the evening with water soaked in honeysuckle and mint. Before using this bath water, Qiao Sheng specially saved some of the cooling mat.

After they finished bathing, changed into dry pajamas, added ice to the ice box, and lay on the cooling mat, they suddenly felt that they could live without air conditioning. People have really been squeezed to that level. The knowledge of our ancestors is the most useful.

If it weren't for Pei Hong's team doctor, they would be really at a loss. They knew that Huoxiang Zhengqi could relieve summer heat, but they didn't know how to make Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

In the past, they only knew to buy mosquito coils, mosquito repellent tablets, and mosquito repellent liquid in the summer. How many people living in the city knew that mugwort and other things could repel mosquitoes?

"Suddenly I found that being dragged into this game also has its benefits. It seems that some knowledge has entered my brain in some way, and I feel like I am forced to learn." Qiao Sheng giggled while lying on the bed.

With the blessing of the new Chinese medicine, the two finally had a good sleep. When they got up in the morning and saw each other, Qiao Sheng smiled and said that his sausage mouth had become smaller, and Li Mu also said that her fan ears had improved.

Except for the place where I was bitten by mosquitoes yesterday, there were no new lumps on my body. It seems that these things are really useful.

Qiao Sheng had just entered the restroom and sat on the toilet when he heard the system's prompt. This time it was not an island, but a four-star dungeon. There were no other players nearby, and there were no other players in the dungeon. The system also vowed that no other players would enter after they entered.
