Urban Life magazine featured a recipe for making Mugwort Bags.
Wang Ruiying and Huang Jiaojiao eagerly followed the magazine's recipe, buying all the necessary materials and sewing a few small Mugwort Bags.
Huang Jiaojiao picked out a particularly exquisite embroidered pouch and cheerfully hung it from her handbag.
"I'm taking this out with me to the night market tonight!" she declared confidently.
However, reality soon dealt her a harsh blow.
That evening, Huang Jiaojiao, wearing a new floral miniskirt and carrying her favorite little handbag, was having a wonderful time at the night market.
Before long, however, her legs began to itch intensely.
She looked down to see several red, swollen mosquito bites on her fair calves.
"What's going on?" she muttered, touching the Mugwort Bag at her waist. "Isn't this supposed to repel mosquitoes?"
Back home, Huang Jiaojiao counted in the mirror. She had a good seven or eight bites.
