Arrival in another world 056, Scorpion (countdown 2 days)

  Scorpion, arachnid animal, its typical characteristics are long and thin body, stinger, curved segmented and with tail hook venomous spines. Most live on mountain slopes with plate-like rocks mixed with soil, not dry or wet, sparse vegetation of grasses and shrubs.

  It is recorded in "Ben Cao Gang Mu" that it has the effects of "relieving wind and spasms, attacking toxins and dispersing stagnation, and relieving pain". It has significant therapeutic effects on diseases such as facial paralysis, rheumatism, and periarthritis of the shoulder joint, and can also prevent and treat cancer.

  After having breakfast, Su Lianwei insisted on going up the mountain to catch scorpions despite Da Hu's advice. Da Hu had no choice but to follow her, and they were also accompanied by Su Bai and Sun Xiao Jin. As the saying goes, "many hands make light work."

  Chu Ying also wanted to follow, but was sternly refused by Lian Hui, because she was pregnant. If something happened on the mountain, Lian Hui would not forgive herself. So, Chu Ying could only pout and wait at home.

  Don't look at Sun Xiao Jin's young age, but he is a master of catching scorpions. Those small arms and legs are very agile. He spotted a rock, lifted it with his left hand, and before others could see if there were any scorpions underneath, his nimble right hand had already caught one accurately.

  The scorpion's tail hook is poisonous, but it can only move up and down vertically and cannot swing left and right, so as long as you pinch the tail thorn from the front, you won't get stung.

  Generally, scorpion venom is not fatal to humans unless it's a tropical rainforest or desert species. The most common small scorpions will only cause painful stings but won't endanger human life.

  "Sister, it's the middle of the day, why aren't you sleeping at home? What are you doing running around here catching this broken thing?" Su Bai said with a sarcastic tone, yawning.

  Lianyi carefully found the scorpion, without lifting her head. Although Su Bai was indeed very annoying, she still patiently replied, "In order to treat Master Li's illness."

  "Sui Bai curled her lip, 'That old man doesn't even buy our family's wine, what business is it of his?'"

  "It was that bastard Li Yutang who refused to buy our family's wine, not Old Man Li." This place doesn't have any scorpions anymore, Lianyi changed locations and continued searching carefully.

  "That... we should go find Old Man Li to reason with him, why do we have to treat his illness?" Su Bai gave up looking for the scorpion and sat on the ground, focusing on asking.

  "Mr. Li is seriously ill this time, if you don't take care of his illness and he dies, do you want to go to the underworld to seek justice?" Lianyi said impatiently, having lost her patience.

  Just then, Sun Xiaojin caught another one. A delicate little face was full of proud smiles, carefully putting the scorpion into the double-layered cloth pouch that Lianyue had handed out earlier, and then tying the mouth of the bag with a rope. "Sister Lianyue, this bag is full, can you get me another one?"

  Lianyi was delighted, and couldn't help but reach out to pat Xiao Jin's head. "You're such a good kid! Tonight, sister will make you some delicious food, and we'll eat at my place." As she spoke, she handed over a new pocket.

  Su Bai looked at his own pocket, only to find three scattered ones. He suddenly became anxious and lifted a large stone with one hand. A scorpion crawled out from under the stone and stung Su Bai's chubby hand. "Ahh, mom, it hurts so much!"

  Lianyi sighed and glared at him, "Serves you right."

  A scorpion that had stung Su Bai was about to run away, but Sun Xiao Jin quickly pounced on it, grabbed it and stuffed it into his pocket. His movements were swift and smooth, a perfect execution.

  "Jin'er is really awesome, great!" Liang Wei couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

  Sun Xiaojin blushed and smiled, while Su Bai beside her looked displeased. "Sister, I'm asking you, are you my sister or his? Why do you always side with outsiders?"

  "I'm your own sister, but I really wish I was Jin'er's own sister," Lingling gave him a white eye, "Now it's helping your own sister to work, for the sake of the winery's livelihood, you're still dragging and slacking off, do you have the nerve?"

  Su Bai's round face turned bright red, and his chubby body turned around, muttering. "Got it, got it, I'll try my best to catch it."

  Looking at Su Bai's meatball-like appearance, Liang Liang couldn't help but smile wryly. This younger brother was not inherently bad, he just loved to eat and be lazy, liked to play smart and sneak around, and was really similar to Zhu Bajie.

  A bulging pouch was stuffed into the rippling eyelids, which belonged to Da Hu. The ripples were stunned, and saw that there were many wounds on the big hand, which was bitten by a scorpion, and the inexplicable palpitations in his heart jumped a few more times.

  The children who grew up in Suzhuang Village have been playing wildly in the village and on the mountain since they were young, and are very skilled at catching birds and fish, catching dragonflies and grabbing scorpions. But Dahu is the first time to catch, can't help but be stung a few times, but he didn't make a sound.

  "Does it hurt?" Ling asked anxiously, a good hand was stung and swollen, just looking at it made her heart ache.

  "It's okay." Datou said and took over the new bag, starting to catch again.

  Lianyi gazed at the back of Da Hu, her eyebrows twitching involuntarily. The feeling in her heart was a mix of sourness, numbness, sweetness, and spiciness, indescribable and inexplicable. It was an itch that couldn't be ignored.

  She shook her head and suppressed this uncontrollable strange feeling as much as possible, and concentrated on finding the stink bug.

  ……

  When Su Liangwei and others went down the mountain to go home, the sun had already slanted to the west, and they hadn't eaten lunch yet.

  Lianyi's home, at first firefly perched on the desk looking through the autumn water, staring at the gate of the courtyard, when seeing everyone return, it flew over like a small butterfly, "Lianyi you finally came back, I've been waiting for a whole day."

  "Ah, you've worked hard." Lianyi smiled and said.

  "Is this what you caught?" Taking the cloth bag from Lingwei's hand, he asked curiously. Just as he was about to open it, Lingwei stopped him, "This thing stings people very painfully, just look at Su Bai and you'll know."

  Su Bai still covered her hands, gritted her teeth, and Chun Ying hurriedly let go of the bag, her small face turned pale.

  Su Lianwei and Chu Ying went to the kitchen to cook, everyone ate a lively meal that was neither lunch nor dinner. After eating, those who should go home went home, and Chu Ying was also sent away by Su Lianwei to return home early and rest. She herself studied these scorpions.

  Her idea was simple: to promote Su Jia wine while also being able to cure illnesses and save people. The best way to combine these two goals was medicinal liquor.

  Medicinal wine, as a health wine, is not unfamiliar in modern times and is very popular, but in the era of Luan Guo, it was a fresh item. Just like the nature of wine - it's a health wine, although it has a promoting effect on the condition, after all, it can't be compared to medicine.

  But Lianyi was not prepared to focus on treating Mr. Li's illness, her goal was still - selling wine! It just so happened that she cured Mr. Li's illness while selling wine at the same time.

  She is not a savior, nor does she want to hang her pot in this country to save the world. She is just an individual, with ordinary selfishness, ordinary purposefulness, and even more ordinary gratitude. She only wants the people around her who care about her to live well, that's all.

  "Big Tiger, help me move that jar of wine from the kitchen." Lianyi rubbed his fists and palms, preparing to start brewing medicinal wine.

  "Alright." Da Hu turned around and left.

  "Wait," Lingling suddenly seemed to think of something and called out to him, grabbing his right hand, "How could I have forgotten about your hand, this is terrible!"

  Digression
