This year is the hottest year in recent years. The temperature in most parts of our country has reached 40 degrees. There have also been many heat-induced diseases this year, and many places are hot to death.
In summer, all kinds of animals become active, and crickets can be heard every time they pass by some grasslands.
What many people have to worry about is that mosquitoes in summer, especially at night, may wake you up in your sleep and get bitten again.
I remember living in the countryside for a period of time when I was in primary school, which also gave me a special headache.
Because there are many plants in rural areas, there are several big trees in front of every household, and grass is everywhere, most of which are rural vegetable gardens.
It is this living environment that leads to the phenomenon of mosquitoes. Don't walk around in the grass.
When I was a child, I must order a plate of mosquito-repellent incense before going to bed, so as to drive away mosquitoes in the house.
At that time, my calf was badly bitten by mosquitoes. Every time I am bitten, I start to itch, and I will scratch unconsciously.
I think my family will use some herbicides at that time, and I will try my best to get rid of all the weeds at home to avoid many mosquito phenomena.
I. pruning vines with weeds in rural areas
Today I want to share a plant, which is particularly common in rural areas. In our countryside, the dialect is called cutting vines.
This kind of plant is particularly annoying to the local people, mainly because it is as special as its name.
Farmers habitually roll up their trouser legs every summer when they work. In order not to get dirty, they must walk barefoot on the grass.
Every time I walk through these grasslands, I will be cut by cutting vines. It is precisely because of its characteristics that our local talents are called pruning vines.
I didn't know its scientific name was _ grass until I grew up, which sounded harmless.
This kind of plants usually grow in wet places, and they don't have high requirements for temperature and humidity.
For example, this plant can often be seen in some rivers or ponds in rural areas.
Because the dialects in each region are very different, students call him Lalamiao or Lalaiteng in their hometown.
Second, the food for livestock.
Although this plant is particularly annoying to villagers, it is sometimes completely destroyed in front of the house, but it is food for livestock.
In most rural areas, chickens and ducks are raised at home, and some villagers have to wear gloves to cut these grasses and pile them in the house, and sometimes they will put some chicken and duck feed.
Most importantly, after eating these chickens and ducks, the immunity in the body is rising, which can also effectively reduce the illness of livestock.
Generally, there are many domestic animals in rural areas, but every time ducks get sick, it is likely to infect these domestic animals around them, and it is not a small expense to treat domestic animals every time.
Therefore, these villagers are particularly willing to mow the grass, which is more acceptable than physical pain.
What impresses many rural children is that it is a very sharp weapon, but any hand that passes by will definitely leave a wound.
Third, delicious food.
In addition, many areas will eat it as a wild vegetable, which is actually delicious in my friend's hometown.
Some villagers often pick such wild vegetables by the river and clean them, which can be used to make dumplings or cakes.
Mainly because the living conditions in rural areas were difficult in the past, most people would use their leisure time to pick wild vegetables in the mountains, and sometimes they could clean them and make them into cold salad.
Secondly, many areas will specially purchase a lot of grass, and its roots can be made into beer, which tastes quite good.
Now many experts have studied that its roots and leaves can be used as a kind of herbal medicine, which has the function of clearing away heat and detoxifying.
Generally, the baby's immunity is poor, and he often catches a cold and coughs, so he can't take some medicine often.
These villagers will turn grass into juice, which can be added to their daily diet.
Summary:
Nowadays, many rural areas will put grass on their skin and repel mosquitoes to relieve itching and pain for those itchy places.
Although this plant is annoying to most people, it does have many benefits, and it is really rare in rural areas now.
Rural people didn't know it had so many functions before, and probably regretted not making good use of it at that time.
Don't underestimate the small weeds on the roadside. Its function is beyond your imagination. I wonder if you have seen this plant in your hometown?
