My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Chapter 212 Mother and child are safe, treat fools (two chapters in one)

at this time.

Zhang Hao and Li Siyu squatted on the periphery of the spiritual soil together, with four eyes staring straight at the [Qin Chong] which was very close to the [Mountain Grass].

The current [Qin Chong] is still the same as before, still listless, still lifeless, still unable to lift up energy, as if suffering from heat stroke due to too much heat.

But Zhang Hao is too clear, [Qin Chong] is still accumulating energy, making preparations for the future birth of a child.

The same is true for Li Siyu. She heard what Zhang Hao said, and she thinks that [Qin Chong] is currently in the same situation.

The two of them waited patiently like this, neither stepped forward to disturb, nor tried to help, etc., as if all they could do now was to wait here.

The fact is exactly the same, they have no other way or other things to do besides waiting here.

"What kind of bug is this? Why is there only one that can give birth to children?" Li Siyu propped his chin with both hands, looked at [Qin Worm] curiously, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Hao, wanting to find an answer.

Zhang Hao was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that he didn't seem to have told Li Siyu about the life habits of [Qin Chong], nor had he mentioned anything related to Li Siyu.

Then he explained: "That's how it is. This worm is named [Qin Worm]. It belongs to the spirit worm, that is, the worm with spirituality in the mountains. It is also a hermaphrodite. It can conceive and give birth to its own children."

A flash of surprise flashed in Li Siyu's beautiful eyes.

To be honest, this is the first time she has heard of the existence of such creatures. She grew up in the village. She has seen many bugs and the like, and she has a general understanding of them, and has even seen them. .

But she had never heard that there are hermaphroditic bugs that can reproduce only by themselves. This is simply amazing, and it completely violates the theoretical knowledge of biology.

However, the world is so big that there are many surprises, such as the fox you met when you followed Zhang Hao to the mountains, the ancient trees that could talk, and those so-called mountain treasures, such as wild ginseng that can run in the mountains, what else is messed up These things are completely contrary, or something that breaks her common sense.

Compared with these things, it is not uncommon for this worm named [Lyre Bug] to be hermaphrodite and to be able to reproduce by itself.

Is thinking.

Seeing Zhang Hao looking at her, she immediately turned her head.

The two looked at each other, the expressions on their faces froze at the same time, and then they looked at each other's expressions and the emotions in each other's eyes.

"What's the matter?" Li Siyu took the lead to look away, turned his face away, and asked suspiciously and shyly, his cheeks were already flushed.

Zhang Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about something."

He didn't lie, and he was indeed thinking about things, but the things he thought were a little different.

He was thinking just now, [Qin Worm] is a hermaphrodite, without having to consider the situation of her partner, she can reproduce on her own, which saves a lot of work and trouble.

It only needs to absorb some aura, absorb as much aura as possible, and you will have the conditions to reproduce the next generation, unlike other beasts and people in the mountains.

It is also necessary to find a partner, seek a mate, and then get married. After going through this series of things, it is possible to proceed to the preparatory work for having a child, and finally to have a child.

It's not like [Qin Chong], it's done in one step, it's a quick batch, how many links are saved, and there is no middleman.

Furthermore, Zhang Hao also thought of his wedding with Li Siyu, that wedding must be the most solemn and festive. ,
If you want to give, give Li Siyu the best, and make Li Siyu satisfied.

As for the wedding, the most critical step is also something that is placed before the wedding, and that is the dowry.

Before the wedding, he knew that a betrothal gift would be given, so he had to prepare a corresponding betrothal gift for his wedding with Li Siyu.

Moreover, this betrothal gift must not be done hastily, and it cannot be given away casually.

Although Li Siyu and him, their parents, Gaotang, have passed away now, the elders in Zhaojia Village are still alive. If the dowry gift I gave is too light, those elders will have to blame themselves and make up for themselves. Zhang Hao I don't want that to happen.

And this matter is very important, the dowry is also a part of showing sincerity, and Zhang Hao also wants to have a good time, and happily marry Li Siyu, but he is not willing to offer a light dowry.

Thinking about the current time, if you start preparing the dowry now, it would be too late.

The most important thing is that he also has to think carefully about what dowry gift to prepare now, which is quite important.

As a mountain walker, the dowry gift he could prepare must be related to the mountain, and it was also the thing that best showed his sincerity.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Hao immediately thought of it. He could look at the characteristics of those mountain treasures in the [Zoushan Travel Record], and then use some mountain treasures as betrothal gifts.

The mountain treasure is the thing that can best reflect the value of the mountain walker, and it is also the most precious thing in the mountain, which can fully show his sincerity.

More importantly, some Shanbao's abilities are extremely helpful to people. For example, Zhang Hao gave Li Siyu the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Bracelet, which can prevent Li Siyu from being hurt in times of crisis.

"What are you thinking..."

At this time, Li Siyu's words interrupted his thoughts, allowing him to gather the thoughts and thoughts in his mind back.

Zhang Hao turned his head, smiled and said, "It's nothing."

I was thinking about the betrothal gift, but I can't let Li Siyu know for the time being. After all, he wanted to prepare a surprise for Li Siyu. If he told Li Siyu in advance, there would be no surprise at all.

Then, he continued to look at 【Lyre Bug】 lying on the stake.

At this moment, 【Qin Chong】shuddered suddenly, its petite but pervasive body twitched suddenly.

However, the head of 【Qin Chong】was raised high at this moment, but his eyes were tightly closed and never opened, as if in a state of sleepwalking.

Immediately afterwards, with the lifting of the head, 【Qin Chong】's body also slowly lifted up, as if stretching.

Zhang Hao stared, and the expression on his face became tense.

He knew that this was 【Qin Chong】preparing to give birth.

The reproduction of the [Lyre Worm] does not mean that an egg needs to be hatched, and it is not the kind of egg that gives birth to a small [Lyre Worm] that may die at any time.

Instead, a half-sized [Lyre Worm] will be born, and this [Lyre Worm] has all the abilities of the [Lyre Worm] right after it is born.

But the 【Lythworm】 that gives birth to the little 【Lythworm】will lose the ability of the 【Lythworm】, it's like a kind of transmission, the mother of the 【Lythworm】passes on her abilities to the little 【Lythworm】, so that the little [Zi Bug] can survive in the mountains and forests as soon as it is born.

Moreover, it can also protect the mother of 【Lyreworm】 from harm.

Of course, [Qin Chong]’s mother’s abilities did not disappear completely, but it took a long time to recover. It is recorded in [Zoushan Travel Records] that after the birth of [Qin Chong]’s mother, the recovery time is about It is nearly half a year.

Then, in the past six months, [Qin Chong]'s mother has been absorbing spiritual energy, and the recovery will be faster, but the shortest will not be less than four months.

If you want to wait until 【Qinworm】gives birth to the next child, it may take many years.

Therefore, the mother of [Qin Chong] at this time does not have the function of medicine induction, and only the newborn baby [Qin Chong] can be used as medicine induction.

And the little [qin worm] has to wait until it can reproduce, it will take several years just to grow, and then there are growth periods, growth periods, gestation periods, etc., maybe a little [qin worm], from making a sound to being able to It takes at least ten years to reproduce.

Of course, the lifespan of [Zi Bug] is very long, more than ten years, and decades to them, may be a few years of human beings, or even less time.

Zhang Hao thought wildly in his mind, trying to relieve his nervousness.

Although he also knows that [Qin Chong] in this environment, when the spiritual energy in the spiritual soil is abundant and there is no danger, reproduction is as simple as eating and drinking, and accidents are absolutely impossible.

But he still can't help being a little nervous, and he can't help but be a little worried, what if something happens to [Qin Chong], what if [Qin Chong] doesn't go well in giving birth...

"Is it going to give birth?" Li Siyu asked with wide eyes, full of expectation.

Zhang Hao nodded heavily: "That's right, He is indeed about to give birth, and soon, you can see the birth of the little [Qin Chong] soon."

"Hmm!" Li Siyu's eyes lit up.

And the two of them squatted here to watch, which naturally aroused the attention of Xiaobai and Shanshenlu.

As soon as the dog and deer came back from the outside, they saw the two owners squatting beside the soil full of aura, looking at something.

They came together immediately.

"Woof~" Xiaobai called softly, with a little doubt in the call.

The mountain god deer didn't bark, but tilted its head, staring curiously at the bug whose body was about to fly into the sky, eyes full of curiosity.

As the deer of the mountain, he is the most elongated and spiritual creature in this mountain, but he has never seen this bug, so he is naturally full of curiosity about this bug, and he is also very curious about the behavior of this bug at this time. curious.

After all, he didn't know what the bug was doing, whether it was hostile to him, whether it would cause him harm, and so on.

However, since Zhang Hao, Li Siyu, and that silly dog ​​are all right so close, there must be nothing wrong with him standing here. Anyway, if something happens, Zhang Hao must be the first to be injured. Li Siyu, and that silly dog.

"Shh~ don't talk."

At this time, Zhang Hao raised a finger at Xiaobai, as if to keep silent, signaling Xiaobai not to yell, so as not to disturb [Qin Chong] to have a baby.

At this time, it is the most critical moment for [Qin Chong] to give birth.

at this time.

As the body of [Ling Worm] was getting higher and higher, when his whole body was about to fly into the air, he suddenly flapped his wings behind him, keeping his whole body in mid-air, but his tail was still supported on the wooden stake, It seems to want to use this to maintain balance.

In this case, the place visible to the naked eye is just at the tail of the [Zi Worm], as if something is coming out little by little, as if some kind of strange and unknown creature is trying to get out from the [ The tail end of the lyre bug crawled out.

Zhang Hao squinted his eyes and opened his mouth slightly. If he guessed right, it should be the little [Qin Chong].

Although, he has seen in the [Zoushan Travel Records], about the reproduction process of [Zuolworm], that is, the little [Zuolworm] drilled out of the tail of the mother [Zuolworm], and it really came out.

At that time, Zhang Hao still wondered that the little [qin worm] was still an unborn organism, which could only be regarded as a half-living organism scientifically, because it was really not a complete organism without birth.

It's like searching the entire nature. When all creatures give birth, they rely on the strength of their mothers to give birth to their children. I have never heard of any animal that is born by the child itself.

I have to say that the entire reproduction process of the [Qin Worm] really opened Zhang Hao's horizons.

"Then, that seems to be the little [Lyre Bug]? It, it came out by itself?"

Li Siyu exclaimed in a low voice, covered her mouth subconsciously, and widened her eyes.

Zhang Hao did not answer this question, but continued to observe 【Qin Chong】.

What can be seen is that at the tail end of the 【Ling Worm】, a beast-like head can already be seen, which is getting out forcefully, and it is still wriggling constantly. Little 【Qin Bug】exertion.

The mother of 【Qin Chong】has been flapping her wings, keeping her body in mid-air, as if she is standing.

This inevitably reminded him that he had seen somewhere before that women in the ancient Song Dynasty in Kyushu gave birth standing up instead of lying on the bed like they are now.

Although it may sound a bit strange, in the Song Dynasty at that time, this was a very common way of giving birth, and it was also respected by every doctor.

And [Qin Chong]'s way of giving birth seems to be the same, which aroused Zhang Hao's strong interest.

Is it possible that [Qin Chong] only appeared in the Song Dynasty?
In other words, 【Qin Chong】appeared in the Song Dynasty by chance, and after seeing the way humans have children, they applied what they learned, and every generation of inheritance in the future will give birth to children in this way, so it has become the current situation .

Afterwards, with the expansion of human beings, there were fewer and fewer dense forests, such as these spirit insects, mountain treasures, etc., were also confined in the mountains and never went out, so [Qinworm] could not learn Other ways of having children, so still maintain this ancient, but still good way to reproduce?
Thinking about it this way, it is also possible.

But in general, this is also a guess.

Just as Zhang Hao had always suspected, [Illustrated Records of Traveling in the Mountains] was passed on to him. The records on it were all collected and written by the people who walked the mountains in the past generations, leaving a wealth of experience.

However, the records left by the predecessors, if later generations find this mountain treasure, or after practice, find that this experience is wrong or has errors, then they will revise it in time.

But what if the person who modified it also made a mistake?

One wrong move, all wrong later.

Moreover, the [Zoushan Travel Records] he saw now is also the final version revised by Mr. Xu Xiake. From the current point of view, many records on it are correct, and it has given him a lot of attention. help.

So Zhang Hao didn't continue to think about it.

But this discovery made him seem to have opened a door to the real world.

You can also pay attention to this aspect in the future. If there are similarities, it can also be used as a decryption game to complete your own reasoning.

Zhang Hao quickly gathered his thoughts back, and the expression on his face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end. He continued to stare at the wriggling little [Qin Worm] at the tail of the [Qin Worm].

The whole process is very long, and it cannot be completed in just a few minutes.

The mountain god deer was already tired of watching, so he walked to the side alone and closed his eyes to rest. Xiaobai also lay down at Zhang Hao's feet, as if he was tired.

Zhang Hao and Li Siyu still maintained their previous curiosity, always staring at the little [Qin Chong].

With the passage of time, the entire head of the little [Qinworm] has emerged from the tail of the mother [Qinworm], and that face, which is like the fusion of multiple wild beasts, appeared clearly in the [Qinworm] Worm] mother's tail.

Looking at it like this, it looks like [Qin Chong]'s mother has grown another head in the back, it is very restrained, and it is also very frightening.

But it didn't affect Zhang Hao and Li Siyu, who understood the specific reasons. Instead, they watched intently, hoping that the little [Qin Chong] would come out as soon as possible.

Zhang Hao is still waiting for this little [qin worm] to make medicine for the idiot and completely cure the idiot's illness.

Li Siyu is just purely curious, she just likes to watch the whole process of this kind of life just conceived.

Because this is the closest to reality, and also the scene that best reflects the sense of reality.

at this time.

[Ling Bug] Changes again.

The mother of [Ziolworm] suddenly flapped her wings and flew into the air, and the little [Ziolworm] was naturally dragged up. The not-so-small head hung on the end of the mother [Ziolworm], and followed The movement of flying into the sky swayed, the range was not large, but it was very strange.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hao and Li Siyu saw that under such dragging, the body of the little [Qinworm] was being pulled out little by little, as if it was being pulled.

Afterwards, they saw that the soft snake-like body of the little [Ling Bug] slid out little by little under the coercion of unknown mucus.

And the little [Qin Chong] with its beast-like head opened its eyes, looking at the surrounding scenes, as if it was familiar with the situation in front of it, and was preparing for what would happen next.

"It's been born, it's been born!" Li Siyu exclaimed in a low voice, the expression on her face has become excited and gradually surprised.

Because this is the birth of a life, although the appearance of this thing called [Qin Worm] is a bit ugly and strange, but what can be called a spirit worm by Zhang Hao, how good can it look? .

Zhang Hao nodded, silently watching the little [Qin Worm] continue to wriggle out.

Just as the mother of [Qin Chong] continued to flap her wings, constantly pulling her body up, and was already flying into the air, the little [Qin Chong] had already vacated.

And the body of the little [Qin Worm] has already come out halfway, and you can see the four transparent wings on the back of the [Ling Worm], which are still wrapped in thick mucus.

In this case, if the body of the little [Lyreworm] comes out completely, then the little [Lyreworm] will probably fall to death, because the wings are covered with too much mucus, and the little [Lyreworm] is just born. , judging from the appearance of those ordinary creatures just born in nature, they should not have the ability to fly.

However, since [Qin Chong]'s mother did this, there must be some reason for him to do so.

Immediately afterwards, as time passed a little bit.

Zhang Hao and Li Siyu saw that the whole body of the little [Qin Chong] hanging on the tail had completely come out from the tail of the mother [Qin Chong].

Then, the two saw that the whole body of the little [Qin Worm] fell straight down into the spiritual soil below.

Li Siyu's eyes widened suddenly, and when he was about to exclaim, Zhang Hao stopped him.

Zhang Hao stared closely at the falling little [Qin Worm], and saw that the little [Qin Worm] was trying to flap the four transparent wings.

Even, it didn't take too long, just a short time of one to two seconds, the mucus wrapped on the wings on the back of the little [lyte bug] was completely wiped off.

Immediately afterwards, the little [Qin Worm] seemed to exert all its strength, and vigorously flapped the four transparent wings behind it, trying to make itself fly.

Just when the little [Qinworm] was about to land, it seemed that the little [Qinworm] had finally learned to fly. The speed of the snake-like body slowed down significantly, and then it began to soar into the air.

Zhang Hao clearly saw that when the tail of the little [Qinworm] touched the ground, he punched the ground with his tail forcefully, and probably flew up with this force.

But he was finally relieved.

It would be a big loss if the little 【Lyreworm】 died just like that. He had already planned to use this little 【Lyreworm】as medicine to cure fools. This little 【Lyreworm】 If it dies, it means that the fool's mental illness can't be cured, and the fool will have to wait many years before the 【Lyre Bug】reproduces again.

If that's the case, fools will have to wait too long.

Seeing that the little [Qin Worm] survived now, that would be the best result.

The same is true for Li Siyu, she let out a long sigh of relief, her delicate face was full of worries, but at this moment it dissipated a lot, and a smile appeared on her face.

And the mother [Qin Chong] who gave birth to the little [Qin Chong] fluttered her wings and fell slowly. It looked like she had lost a lot of strength, she fell slowly, and landed on the stake. Reverted to the way it was before.

Listless and lifeless, he closed his eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep.

This is also expected. After all, He has just reproduced the next generation, and he has used a lot of strength. Under such circumstances, he definitely needs more rest, and he must get better rest.

And the little [Qin Bug] is flying back and forth in mid-air, like a child who just learned to fly. He thinks it's fun, so he keeps playing.

Li Siyu looked at the little [qin worm] that had been flying all the time, and exclaimed: "This thing can fly right after it's born...it's amazing."

Zhang Hao nodded: "My initial understanding was that this thing was already big when it was born, but I didn't expect it to fly when it was born."

"This thing is indeed a spirit insect." Li Siyu muttered to himself, continuing to support his chin with both hands, his face full of curiosity.

Sure enough, her own knowledge is still too little, like this androgynous [qin worm], and the scene in front of her, all made her feel the strangeness and novelty of this world.

After another period of time, Zhang Hao watched the little [Qin Chong] flapping its wings and falling slowly, and finally landed beside [Qin Chong]'s mother. Raising his head high, those eyes kept looking around, as if he was vigilant, but also seemed to be afraid of any danger around him.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Hao was really relieved.

This fully proves that there is nothing wrong with the little [qin worm], it can be used as a medicine, and it may also treat a fool's disease.

Of course, he didn't intend to make the little [Qinworm] into medicine right now, he still needs to wait a few days,

Not only did he need to prepare the required medicinal materials in advance, he also needed to prepare for the fool in advance.

This is not cured by just giving a fool a small 【Qinworm】, and then frying other medicinal materials, and then boil it into traditional Chinese medicine and pour it on the fool. Some methods are needed.

It's like giving a fool a little [Qin Bug] in advance, so that the fool can get used to the function of the little [Zi Bug]. Simply put, it's the kind of feeling that makes people's thoughts stagnate and movements slow.

I also experienced the various side effects of the little [qin worm], so that the idiot can adapt in advance, and avoid the situation where the drug will lead to backlash.

What's more, he still needs to make some preparations himself. After all, this is the first time he has used the small [Qinworm] to treat people. He is not sure whether it will work, let alone guarantee it. 】It can cure the fool's disease.

He needs to prepare a few more countermeasures, in case something happens, he can solve it in time.

Thoughts so far.

Zhang Hao got up immediately, woke up Xiaobai who had fallen asleep at his feet, held Xiaobai in his arms, and said to Li Siyu, "I'm going to walk around the mountains, this time I'll find some herbs to give back to the fool. "

Upon hearing this, Li Siyu paused first, and then reacted immediately.

She turned her head to look at the newly born little [Qin Chong], then looked at Zhang Hao, and asked, "What you said, is to use [Qin Chong] to return a gift to a fool?"

Thinking about it this way, it is also correct, Zhang Hao is not very idle on weekdays, if it is not for some important thing, why would he squat here for such a long time, just to watch this bug give birth.

Thinking about it this way, among the more important things that Zhang Hao said recently, there is only the matter of returning gifts to fools.

Zhang Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have to prepare in advance. If I don't come back at noon, you don't have to wait for me. You can eat as usual. I won't be hungry in the mountains."

"Well, you must pay attention to safety. It would be best if you can come back for dinner at noon." Li Siyu reminded.

Zhang Hao nodded.

Then, he completely woke up Xiaobai who had fallen into a deep sleep, put Xiaobai on the ground, took a basket, and led Xiaobai into the dense forest.

And Li Siyu turned his head, glanced at the little [Qin Chong] who was still maintaining the posture just now, and couldn't help but think of what Zhang Hao just said.

Use this little [qin bug] to return a gift to a fool.

Zhang Hao should be able to cure a fool's mental illness, right?
If it's Zhang Hao, he must be able to do it. After all, he is Zhang Hao. It seems that there is nothing Zhang Hao can't do at present.

Mind this.

Li Siyu turned around, walked to the shelf, and continued to play with the bacon.

Taking advantage of the current time, dry these bacon well, then put them in a cooler storage room, and take them out when it's time to eat.

……

Until dusk fell, the sunset glow in the sky completely enveloped the entire sky, but a bright moon could be faintly seen hanging high in the sky.

Zhang Haocai dragged Xiaobai back from the dense forest slowly.

He was holding a basket in one hand, which was full of medicinal materials, and he was still holding a lot of medicinal materials in the other hand.

Xiao Bai bounced forward, chewing something like grass, the dog's face was full of joy, as if he had just eaten something delicious.

This time, walking the mountain alone with one dog, the rewards were quite fruitful. Zhang Hao found the medicinal materials for the fool to cure diseases, and also found a lot of food for Xiaobai and the mountain god deer.

The medicinal materials used by fools to treat diseases are mainly relatively common, and there are no so-called precious medicinal materials. After all, there are already spirit insects such as [Qin Chong] as medicine guides, and other auxiliary medicinal materials are used as foils. The effect of preventing [Zi Bug] is too large, and it will affect fools.

After preparing these, the next thing is much simpler, as long as these medicinal materials are put together, some need to be ground into powder, some need to be squeezed out of juice, and some need to be placed in the whole plant.

Then take the idiot to this piece of spiritual land on the mountain, let him feel the ability of [Ziolworm] first, let the idiot get used to it, repeat this several times, until the idiot completely adapts to the ability of [Ziolworm].

At this time, the little [qin worm] has almost grown, and it can be used as a medicine for fools, and then it can be treated.

Zhang Hao had already thought about the whole process when he was looking for herbs, and he just needed to implement it.

Looking up at the sky, it was getting dark.

Let's wait until tomorrow, and then call the fool to the mountain.

Thinking this way, Zhang Hao took Xiao Bai to the hut.
