Chapter 14: A Man Can Never Lick His Elbow with His Tongue!
Although it is not in the "four evils", it is more difficult to deal with than the four evils, and the flea is such a powerful and troublesome creature.
It is said to be "powerful" because the flea was once considered the "high jump champion" of nature, and its own bouncing force was enough to make it jump a distance of 350 times its body length; And to say it's troublesome...... This kind of parasite, which is so small that it is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, once provoked, will face a long-term offensive and defensive battle of endless culling and counter-killing.
"So why do people have such things!"
"It must have jumped over that stray cat just now!"
Ordering his cat girlfriend not to move, Hao Qi began to try to carefully rummage through her fur for these parasites that came and went without a trace, but until he found his eyes with sore eyes, he found two - one of them escaped Hao Qi's clutches with his agile bounce and disappeared in an instant.
"That's a problem...... If the house becomes a flea nest, we will die when my mother comes back! ”
The reason why fleas are difficult to get rid of is because it is too small, has strong bounce, and reproduces quickly, as long as it cannot be strangled at the source in the first place, then, maybe after two or three days, all the carpets, clothes, fabrics, etc. in the house may become the dormant ground of these blood-sucking monsters.
If this is not terrible, the host of fleas also includes humans, that is...... Now Hao Qi has also been innocently involved in it and has become a big meal on the flea table!
"No! Xia Miaomiao, you stay on the sofa for me honestly and don't move, I'll go out and buy insecticides immediately! ”
"Huh? Wait a minute! So what should I do? ”
"Stay there and don't move! If you take the fleas somewhere else, you're dead! ”
After telling his cat girlfriend, Hao Qi went downstairs at a gallop and went straight to "pet", but just as he was about to enter the door, he suddenly remembered something, stopped at the door and waved to the shopkeeper girl inside through the floor-to-ceiling glass window.
"How...... What's wrong? ”
The shopkeeper girl who pushed the door out of Hao Qi's strange behavior looked at him suspiciously, and looked down at herself again, not knowing what was going on.
"That...... It's not your problem, it's me, my family's Miao Miao has fleas...... I'm afraid to bring fleas to the store. ”
"Ahh
Hearing Hao Qi explain the situation, the shopkeeper's sister also exclaimed.
"How do you get fleas?"
"Well, in fact, just now, Miao Miao came into contact with a stray cat because of curiosity, and I'm afraid it was the ...... that ran to her at that time."
"That's right......"
When the shopkeeper's sister heard this, she glanced at Hao Qi with some reproach.
"How can you let your cat come into contact with a stray cat!"
"Yes yes yes my pot...... Anyway, help me figure it out first......"
Hao Qi didn't have time to dump the pot on his cat girlfriend at this time, and for him, how to solve these troublesome fleas as soon as possible was the top priority.
"You wait for me, I'll go get the medicine......"
Fortunately, the shopkeeper's sister also knew that now was not the time to reproach him, so she hurriedly turned and entered, and after a while she staggered out again, holding a small bottle of spray and a strange-looking fan-shaped prop.
"This is the Flion spray, wait until you get home and spray this on the cat's body - start under the cat's fur, close to the skin, preferably until all the fur is wet......"
"Okay, I got ......"
Hao Qi, who took the spray, nodded again and again, but his eyes couldn't help but look at another prop.
"That'...... What is this for? ”
"This is the Elizabeth Circle."
The shopkeeper's sister patiently explained to him.
"Wait a minute, when you get home and spray the cat, remember to put this on it - bend it over like this, adjust it to just the right degree and stick it on, and put it on the cat's neck with the wide side facing outward, so that the cat won't be able to lick the sprayed fur......"
"Oooh! I know! ”
"And! The amount of this spray should be enough, after spraying the cat, remember to spray the place that the cat has just touched, in addition, the clothes on your body, it is best to disinfect it with boiling water immediately, and then pour the rest of the Furyn into it, so as to completely kill the fleas......"
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's sister handed the Elizabeth circle to Hao Qi, and then comforted him again.
"Because I've only just come into contact with fleas, as long as I deal with them promptly, it shouldn't matter...... Wait until two days later, and then give the cat a good bath! ”
“…… Thank you very much! Then I'll go back first! ”
"Hurry up!"
Bidding farewell to the patient and reliable shopkeeper girl, she ran home like a gust of wind, and what made Hao Qi a little more comfortable was that Xia Miaomiao was really lying on the sofa honestly, waiting for her return motionlessly.
"Hao Qi~"
As soon as she saw her boyfriend come back, the cat reported to him with a sad face.
"I ...... I just felt like I was bitten by a flea......"
"Well deserved! You weren't like that when you were going to be someone else's eldest sister just now. ”
"Uh......h You don't even comfort people's ......."
"Okay, okay, I'm going to 'comfort' you - give me a good stomach! Don't move! ”
Approaching the cat with the spray, ignoring her innocent and uneasy expression, Hao Qi began to flip her back fur and spray the spray under her otherwise smooth fur, close to the surface of the skin.
"It's so cool......"
Surprisingly, in addition to twisting her body in protest at the beginning, this time Xia Miaomiao was very cooperative and allowed her boyfriend to do it without making a little temperament, it seems that she also knows very well how troublesome these little things she accidentally brought home are.
sprayed Xia Miaomiao's whole body, including her paws and tail, and then, Hao Qi took Elizabeth's circle again and motioned for the cat to stretch her head.
"What is this?"
Xia Miaomiao also saw this kind of novel prop for the first time, and after learning that it was something she wore around her neck, she was even more enthusiastic to cooperate throughout the process.
"That's it!"
After gluing the edges of the Elizabeth circle with its own velcro to make sure it would not come loose, Hao Qi took a closer look at his girlfriend...... Well, it looks like a cat-shaped desk lamp.
"So what's the use of this thing?"
"It's to prevent you from licking your hair."
"......Shh It's like I usually lick it......"
The cat shook its head a little unconvinced.
"Just in case, you might as well wear it......"
solved the problem on Xia Miaomiao's body, and then, Hao Qi began to use the remaining spray again, spraying the sofa up and down, left and right, and then ran to the bathroom with a smoke, stripped himself from head to toe, pressed all the clothes into a large basin, and ran to the kitchen naked to boil a large pot of boiling water, and poured the remaining spray in the bottle into it.
"It should be fine now......"
After washing himself up and down with a shower, and even beating his whole body three times with the sulfur soap that he never usually uses, Hao Qi, who thought he was absolutely safe, picked up a towel and walked to the living room while wiping his hair.
Then he saw that his cat girlfriend was squatting on the coffee table, her body bent into an awkward position, and even her tongue was sticking out of her mouth, trying to lick her tail.
"Xia Miaomiao, what are you doing!"
"Yikes!"
The cat, who was startled by her boyfriend's cold voice, slipped under her feet, fell off the coffee table with a grunt, and then immediately jumped up cheekily and reported to him as if she had discovered a new world.
"Hao Qi Hao Qi! I just tried it, and this thing called what a circle really works! It's like a mantra! It's amazing! ”
…… So can you please not use your curiosity in this boring place, stupid cat!
