What constellation is leech essence?

Why use so much pen and ink to write leech essence?

Leech essence is a common strange story in Guangxi, similar to the story of hunters. I lived in the countryside when I was a child, so this little story sounds like a true story, because many local chronicles have similar records.

Leech essence, leech is leech. It is said that leeches cultivate sperm to suck blood. If people are swimming, it will crawl on people secretly, and people are not going to throw it into the water. If it can't suck blood, it will get angry and get back at you. Because blood is wet, leech essence is also called water ghost.

There is a saying in the countryside that leeches are afraid of bamboo. There is a way to prevent leeches from biting people: put bamboo pieces on their legs or bodies. When I was a child, I worked in a paddy field. If I was bitten by a leech, my parents would take out a machete, cut a hole in my leg and pull out the leech.
