Seeing Gao Guangrong when he was dying, Hawking Gui was in a big mess, and suddenly rushed to his side, and said excitedly: "Old Gao, what's wrong with you? Wasn't it okay last night? Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Gao Guangrong's daughter-in-law was supported to sit aside, and replied with a handful of snot and tears: "When he came back last night, he was indeed fine, and then when he slept until midnight, he suddenly asked me to bring him a quilt cover, saying that his body was a little cold, and I touched his head and it was hot, probably because of the cold, so I boiled a bowl of ginger soup for him, and after feeding him and drinking, he fell asleep." Who knew that when I got up today, I found out that he had become like this...... Why is my life so miserable......"

At this time, Gao Guangrong could no longer say a complete sentence, he glanced at Huo Jingui beside the bed, and blinked vigorously, as if he had something to explain.

Huo Jingui hurriedly put his ear to his mouth: "Lao Gao, do you want to speak? Or do you have something to explain? You said, as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse!"

The weak Gao Guangrong shook his head, his mouth opened a few times, but he didn't spit out half a word at all.

"Uncle Huo, look at his fingers!" Liu Xinghao also came to Gao Guangrong's house at this time, and he stood quietly by the side but saw it really.

I saw Gao Guangrong's right hand clenched into a fist, and he stretched out an index finger and pointed in the direction of the end of the bed. Could it be that he has something important hidden at the end of the bed?

Huo Jingui hurriedly lifted the futon at the end of the bed, and saw that there was an ordinary bed board underneath, with neither a mezzanine nor a dark grid, and there was nothing under the bed.

"That's weird, then what is his intention by pointing to the end of the bed?" Huo Jingui thought for a while, and reached out to lift the quilt that Gao Guangrong covered his feet.

Who would have thought that as soon as this quilt was lifted, everyone present exclaimed again and again!

I saw that Gao Guangrong's left foot was red, swollen and purple, and on the swollen instep lay a strange bug, this bug was almost half the size of a fingernail, with a round body and smooth skin. Its head and two forefeet had already burrowed into Gao Guangrong's flesh, and its exposed fat belly was full of blood, glowing a strange blood red!

"Oh! Cow turtle!" Gao Guangrong's daughter-in-law saw this insect lying on her husband's feet and sucking blood, and she came up to slap the insect to death.

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" Liu Xinghao shouted, frightening Gao Guangrong's daughter-in-law there.

"This insect can't be patted with your hands, the more you shoot it, the more it will drill into the flesh!" Liu Xinghao walked out of the crowd, came to Gao Guangrong's feet and carefully identified it, and said eloquently: "That's right, this is a tick!"

"Ticks? We have always called it a cow turtle, and this cow turtle loves to bite the cow's body, and it will not let go as soon as it bites. But I've never heard of this bug biting. Huo Jingui naturally recognized this bug, which is a parasite that lives on animals and feeds on blood. This parasite is not common in the city, but it can be found in the countryside, in the grass, on the branches of trees, and in the rice fields.

"It's this kind of worm, and it's probably the old village chief it killed!" Liu Xinghao can be said to have a vivid memory of this kind of tick, and there was also an outbreak of ticks in Nanyun Province in the early years, which was a big news sensation throughout the country back then! The TV and newspapers repeatedly introduced the appearance, toxicity, and countermeasures of this kind of worm.

The toxicity of this insect comes from the deadly bacteria it carries, some deadly bacteria may not be so powerful in animals, but once they invade the human body, they directly act on the capillaries and small blood vessels of the human body, causing extensive damage to the blood vessel wall, increasing the permeability of the blood vessel wall, resulting in edema of human tissues and internal organs, resulting in congestion or bleeding of the skin and mucous membranes of the whole body, which is the cause of this unusual purpura seen on the skin of the old village chief and Gao Guangrong!

After a tick bite, most of the onset is acute and severe, and the main symptoms are fever, general malaise, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, listlessness, etc. In severe cases, it will die of failure due to the invasion of the respiratory center!

"Ah!?" Hearing Liu Xinghao say this, everyone present gasped! Who would have thought that this inconspicuous-looking little tick could actually kill an adult man!?

"Which of you has a cigarette with you? Lend me an envoy first. Liu Xinghao begged for a cigarette from the villager, lit it, and used the burning cigarette butt to burn the tick's exposed belly.

Hearing a "zila" sound, the tick felt the heat on its belly and back, and several claws kicked its legs hard, and withdrew its head from Gao Guangrong's flesh.

As soon as the little tick's head poked out, Liu Xinghao saw the opportunity, flicked it to the ground with a flick of his index finger, and then made up for it, directly making it crush its bones, liver, and brains!

Although the tick has been killed, its poison has already invaded Gao Guangrong's body.

"Mr. Liu, do you think there is still a way to save our family Gao?" Gao Guangrong's daughter-in-law was also sick and rushed to the doctor, grabbing Liu Xinghao's arm with both hands, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to him.

"Aunt Gao, I'm not a doctor, I really don't know if this Uncle Gao can be cured. If Uncle Gao can be sent to a big hospital immediately, maybe he can be saved......" Liu Xinghao saw Aunt Gao's grief-stricken look, and he really couldn't bear to tell the worst possibility. As Gao Guangrong is now, let alone sent to a big hospital, even if he is sent to the side of Da Luo Immortal, I am afraid that he will be helpless......

The howling cry was heartwarming, and Lao Gao finally left, walking very quietly and peacefully. His death was not worthless, at least the villagers of Wangbei Village understood the dangers of ticks and parasites. The entire village, inside and out, including livestock, is screened to ensure that no more harmful ticks slip through the net. These tasks are all presided over by Ding Zhaokun and Huo Jingui, and now there is no competition from Gao Guangrong, and the position of the next village chief seems to have fallen firmly on Ding Zhaokun. The villagers don't say anything, but in their hearts they have basically acquiesced to this fact.

In fact, it makes no difference to the people who is the head of this village. As long as they plant their own one-third of an acre of land and have three meals a day, it is enough for them.

It's a pity that this small wish is always broken by someone.
