Meng Fei grinned: "I'm talking about a wasp's nest. It has the effect of dispelling wind and attacking toxins, reducing swelling and relieving pain, especially for the treatment of rheumatism. My grandfather's rheumatism was completely cured because he met a barefoot doctor who told him this folk remedy.
But this thing is really rare nowadays. I will go to the mountains this afternoon to see if I can find it. "
"Then my dad..." Feng Shuyi asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, my uncle's illness won't recur in the short term. Don't worry, just go after lunch."
"Okay, I'll go with you in the afternoon!" Feng Shuyi said seriously.
Meng Fei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's snowing heavily in the mountains. Why are you going there? It will only bring you trouble. I can go by myself."
"Brother Meng, just let me go with you. It's boring for me to stay at home anyway."
The mistress also helped: "Just let him go with you. This child has been filial since he was young. His father has had this illness for many years. Every time he had an attack, he stayed by the bedside all night. Just let him show his filial piety.
And if you can really cure his illness, grandma will really thank you~~"
Seeing that his grandmother said so, Meng Fei no longer refused and agreed.
Seeing this, Qiu Bo and Meng Long on the side also volunteered to stand up.
Meng Long: "Shuyi has gone, so I'll go too. If nothing else works, I can carry some things for you."
Qiubo: "I'll go with you too. When Gouzi and I were little, we always went to the mountains. I'm familiar with the mountains."
Meng Fei smiled and shook his head: "Okay, okay, then let's go together in the afternoon. You have to eat more at noon. It's tiring to walk through the snow and run all over the mountain in the afternoon."
"Then I'll go cook now! You can play in the house for a while." After saying that, Second Aunt and Qiubo's mother rushed into the kitchen.
"Second Aunt! Wait a moment. I picked a lot of vegetables today. I'll get them back."
An hour later, the large round wooden table was filled with dishes.
Eggplant stewed with sauce, vegetarian smashed cucumber, tomatoes mixed with sugar, stewed pig's head...and of course, Erye's specialty, salted duck eggs.
Because they had to go up the mountain in the afternoon, Meng Fei and other young men did not drink for fear of missing the trip.
But before leaving, Meng Fei took a mineral water bottle of white wine and put it in his backpack.
Then he rummaged around in his own warehouse and took out a footrest, a wire rope and two urea bags.
After everything was ready, Meng Fei took the three of them into the mountains. The little monkey was playing in the backyard. When he saw Meng Fei and his companions going into the mountains again, his eyes rolled around and he followed them.
After entering the mountain, in order to conserve the energy of the few people, Meng Fei naturally became the pioneer. Meng Fei walked in front, leaving footprints, and the others followed behind according to Meng Fei's footprints.
At the same time, Meng Fei also released the drone to expand the search range and look for traces of the ant nest.
At this time, the little monkey followed from behind, swung on a branch, and jumped directly onto Meng Fei's shoulder.
Little monkey: "Meng Fei, what are you doing? Didn't you just come down from the mountain this morning? Why are you going up the mountain again???"
"How did you catch up with us? We are going to look for a hornet's nest. Since you are here, why don't you help us find it?"
The little monkey scratched his head: "A wasp's nest? What does it look like? I've never heard of it."
At this time, Meng Fei captured the picture through the drone and saw a hornet's nest hanging on a birch tree about a hundred meters away from him.
But it didn't look very big, but it was better to have it than not. Meng Fei hurriedly led everyone towards the birch tree.
Five minutes later, several people came under the tree and looked up. They saw a small black ball hanging on the top of the birch tree, swaying with the howling north wind.
Meng Fei was overjoyed and patted the little monkey on his shoulder: "Little monkey, the job of climbing the tree is left to you. Help me pick the little black ball down."
The little monkey nodded, and without saying a word, he jumped onto the tree trunk and climbed to the treetop in a few whooshes.
Just as he was about to reach out to pick the beehive, he suddenly pulled his hand back with a look of horror on his face.
Then Bai Nian started screaming towards Meng Fei under the tree.
Little monkey: "Meng Fei!! You fucking tricked me!! Can you touch this thing!! You'll die!! Are you still mad at me for what happened this morning!! I told you, I didn't mean it! You didn't have to use this thing to trick me!"
Meng Fei stood under the tree, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and shouted to the tree: "Don't worry, the wasps are hibernating, the nest is empty, just pick it without worry."
After hearing Meng Fei's words, the little monkey was still a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he thought that Meng Fei would not cheat him, so he reached out and broke off a branch and gently poked the hornet's nest.
After waiting for a few seconds, the hornet's nest did not respond. The little monkey breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed to the hornet's nest.
However, the little monkey was still worried and did not reach out to pick it. Instead, he kicked the hornet's nest, which was as big as a bee's head, off the tree trunk.
Seeing this, Meng Fei quickly stepped forward and caught the hornet's nest.
Seeing this, several people came forward and looked at the hornet's nest in Meng Fei's hand curiously.
The hornet's nest in Meng Fei's hand was only the size of an apple and was covered with dense holes.
The holes were hexagonal, as if they were neatly stacked together. They looked extremely regular, and even the sizes were exactly the same. It was simply a shadow of childhood... Looking at the wasp nest in Meng Fei's hand, Feng Shu asked with a puzzled look:
"Brother Meng, why is there only a beehive left? Where are the ants inside? Why are they gone?"
"Every autumn, male ant bees and young worker bees die one after another, leaving only the queen bee to spend the winter alone. The queen bee will choose a good place that is both sheltered from the wind and sunny, such as a tree hole, a crack in a rock, or a gap in a building, and then enter hibernation mode comfortably.
In the nest, the metabolism of the queen bee becomes very slow and the energy consumption is much less. Until the spring of the following year, the queen bee will build a nest again near her hibernation location and lay eggs and give birth.
So the wasp nest can be said to be quite safe in winter.”
