The dragon attached to the mulberry tree was soon driven away by the tree god. The raccoon continued to wander and saw a girl picking mulberry coming over. It attached itself to a mulberry leaf and asked the girl to put it in a basket and carry it home. This girl was Sima Hua. She put down the basket, wiped off the sweat, and started working. Her house has two old-fashioned tiled houses connected together. There is a spacious hall above and below, and a bright patio in the middle. The patio is surrounded by aisles. The aisles are wider. On the side against the wall is a row of stools, with covered chairs placed on them. There are dustpans, and together with the upper and lower halls, there are four square tables in each, eight in total, with baskets placed on them, some covered with lids, some covered with cotton wool. At this moment, Sima Hua walked to the patio aisle and opened the dustpan cover one by one. Inside were squirming silkworms. These white and bright silkworms looked quite cute. Some of them were chewing mulberries. Leaves, listen carefully, there is a "chacha" sound, and the mulberry leaves are chewed into holes, revealing a few thin tendons; some silkworms stretch their necks and raise their heads energetically, as if they are full. Get up and explore the outside world.
Sima Hua finished taking off the lid of the dustpan in the corridor, and then went back and forth to lift the lids of the baskets on the square tables in the upper and lower halls, but the baskets covered with cotton wool did not move.
Later, my mother also came, and the two of them grabbed fresh mulberry leaves from the bamboo basket and sprinkled them into the dustpan and into the basket. This is called feeding the silkworms. When the silkworms are fed, they grow up. It spins silk into colorful cocoons. While Sima Hua was working, he imagined how they could be woven into silk, and he became particularly excited when he started working. The pink scarf around her neck is made of silk material, soft, smooth, and eye-catching in color.
It's late spring now, the weather is relatively warm, so there's no need to wear a scarf, but Sima Hua loves the color of this silk scarf, so rather than wearing it, he uses it to highlight his youthful beauty.
The rhinoceros was attached to a mulberry leaf, which was being eaten bit by bit by the chubby silkworms in the basket. The rhinoceros jumped away and attempted to attach itself to the body of a silkworm. But all silkworms have spirituality, which means that every silkworm has a loose spirit attached to it. If the silkworm wants to invade, it will be counterattacked.
At this moment, Xiao had just an idea, and was noticed by a loose spirit. It summoned all the loose spirits to attack and attack Xiao. He was attacked from both sides and had nowhere to hide. There is no perfect way for people in heaven, and the world of hell is also ordinary. Just when the gods were calling for help from the sky and the earth was not working, the animal god came. The scattered spirits did not dare to make any mistakes and dispersed. Zhuo Fu knelt in pain in front of the Animal God, kowtowed repeatedly, and said, Lord God, please give me a way to survive!
I'm just here to give you some guidance. The Animal God Si asked it to get up and follow him to the main room. I saw Sima Hua standing with her mother. Her mother pulled away the cotton wool on a basket. The basket was filled with pieces of silkworms that had not yet hatched into silkworms. Her mother said: It will take another week to hatch. Then he covered it with the warm cotton wool. The God of Animals said that he conveyed the reincarnation order of the Wheel-turning King and asked him to be reborn as a silkworm. Zhuo said in embarrassment: "No, I am attached to the mulberry leaves, and I have been beaten by those loose spirits. If I were attached to the body of the silkworm, wouldn't I be beaten even worse by them?"
The Animal God Si smiled slightly and explained: You can only attach to the silkworms that have not hatched into silkworms, because which loose spirit the silkworms will be attached to is determined by God, and it is not just a random matter, there is order. He pointed to the basket containing the silkworms and said, "Now you go in and attach yourself to a silkworm. After a week, the silkworms will hatch into silkworms, and you will become one of the silkworms."
The opening of the basket is covered with cotton wool. How can I get in? Zhi asked. The Sihu God said: You exist in an ideological form now, not in a material form. As long as you have the thought of being reborn in a silkworm, you will naturally enter.
So according to its instructions, it sneaked into the basket and parasitized on one of the silkworm larvae. It felt warm and warm. A week later, it poked out a head from the embryo of the silkworm larvae. The head was black. Like a sesame seed, it is full of colorful vitality like all silkworms.
Sima Hua's mother knew how to take care of her. She had a premonition that a new batch of silkworms had been born, so she carefully uncovered the cotton wool and only opened a slit, trying not to let the cold wind in. Otherwise, the newly born silkworms would be very weak and easily Frozen to death, even though it was April and the weather was a bit warm, the climate was abnormal and Silkworms couldn't catch a cold. Sima Hua's mother, who has raised silkworms for most of her life, knew what to do. She cut the mulberry leaves into thin pieces and sprinkled them in like scraps of paper. If the mulberry leaves were not broken into pieces, they would fall down in large pieces. The weight is too much for them to bear, and if done incorrectly, they will be crushed or even crushed to death. So Sima Hua's mother was very attentive and explained to Sima Hua why she did this. Sima Hua stood nearby, watching her mother's demonstration and watching the baby silkworms eat the finely chopped mulberry leaves, and the baby silkworms were born. They know how to eat, as if it is determined by nature, and they greedily eat each other like hungry wolves on bread. Ma Sihua quickly closed the cotton batting.
A few days later, when I opened the basket, I saw that the silkworms had grown to the size of rice grains, and more mulberry leaf feed was provided. At this time, Sima Hua and her mother replaced the cotton batting covering the mouth of the basket with a bamboo cover, because the silkworms were more resistant than before. Among all the silkworms, Sima Hua was particularly fond of the fat silkworm. It was the reincarnation of the silkworm in the end. Of course, Sima Hua didn't know, but he paid close attention to it. It was very edible. One mulberry leaf cost two or three times. A silkworm lies on it and eats it for a while. But it takes almost the same amount of time to eat a single mulberry leaf, so it is almost twice as big as an ordinary silkworm.
When feeding the mulberry leaves, Sima Hua named it Fatty in front of her mother. My mother echoed, "It's good to be fat, and have a good physique, and the quality of silk will be good in the future." It was good, and I ate a lot of mulberry leaves. Mother turned to Sima Hua and said, "You should be more diligent and collect more mulberry leaves to feed." Sima Hua still lowered her head to look at the fat man. The hanging thread of the scarf around her neck had reached the edge of the basket and was touching her fingers. She pulled it and touched a small hole on it, which was the upper part of the basket. The first time she went to pick mulberries in a mulberry forest, she rushed into the jungle and was torn by thorns. She suddenly said: When this crop of silk comes out, I will use it to weave another scarf. This is good silk material. She pulled the draping of the scarf around her neck, twisted the hole in it, and then said: This scarf should be changed.
Her mother didn't care what she said, and just urged her to go out and pick more mulberry leaves. She covered the other baskets with cotton wool at home, planning to hatch another batch of baby silkworms. Seeing Sima Hua approaching the door of the hall, my mother raised her head and raised her voice and asked: Hua Zi, do you want me to accompany you? mom! No, you're quite busy too. Sima Hua carried the bamboo basket and walked straight towards the mulberry forest in the back mountain.
