As you may have guessed, the ants on this person all belong to the same 'ant nest', that is, to the same small social system. Their duty or purpose is to be responsible for this kind of medical treatment, you see, after these ants have joined forces to cover the whole body and the inside and outside of the man, as long as one of them finds the trace of the 'mad bug', it only takes a very short time, and all the members of the whole tribe will know about it, and then they will attack the worm in an organized and disciplined manner according to the instructions we have given them. ”

Xiaoyu continued to explain to me, and I continued to look at the dense ants on the man's body with a bitter face.

To be honest, just like when I was a child, I still have no fear or even no feelings for ants. But seeing so many ants crawling around on a person, it feels really... It's hard to put into words.

In order to deliberately distract myself, I kept letting myself think crankily, and after listening to Xiaoyu's explanation, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Huh? Xiaoyu, you mean, you have more than one nest, and each nest has a different purpose? ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "Yes, we will draw inferences, you are right, we have many ant nests, but the main function of these ant nests is to help us do this kind of medical problem that cannot be completed by our manpower." In addition to this, of course, there are some other features, such as... You know, they have a very strong transport capacity, so there are some ants that are responsible for the sanitation of our community, hehe, make the best use of them. ”

"Sanitation work? Cleaning? I asked incredulously.

Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, didn't you find that our community has been doing a good job in terms of hygiene?" When did you go out one morning and see dust or garbage in the hallway? When have you ever seen a cleaner in our community? You don't think that rough people like Ah San Ah Si will really calm down and sweep the floor, right? That's all thanks to them, in the middle of every night when you have fallen asleep, it is they who work tirelessly on the front line of community health to create a harmonious, beautiful, clean and tidy community environment for you. ”

I don't know why his tone suddenly became so relaxed, but I have to admit that he stated such a fact in this way, which really made me more acceptable.

If he told me very seriously, every night there are countless ants crawling on the walls, floors, roofs, and even in my room, just like the person in front of me... Think about this scene every day before going to bed, I will definitely have nightmares when I go to bed in the future.

"Found it!" Doctor Song suddenly shouted in a low voice, and I turned my head to look at him, who was staring at the body of the man on the bed with his eyes.

I followed his gaze to the man on the bed, and I didn't see anything unusual, the man was still motionless, and the ants were still crawling around.

With Doctor Song's shout, Xiao Yu stopped talking, and everyone stared at the person on the bed nervously.

After about a minute or so, Dr. Song sighed in annoyance and said, "Alas! Didn't catch it again! ”

The old saying said comfortingly: "Don't rush, take your time." ”

Doctor Song nodded and continued to stare intently at the man on the bed.

Xiao Yu then continued: "In addition to the two main uses I told you, they can occasionally help us keep an eye on something, and there is no need to hide it from you now, the ants that appeared when you and Xiao Rou were in the cave room before were responsible for monitoring and wanted to drive you into the bedroom by the way, but you kid can't open his mind, alas." ”

I scratched my head and said, "Love... It's a very complicated thing, it's hard to explain in one sentence or two, we humans can't understand it, how can this little ant understand? ”

Xiaoyu and Lao Gu were both amused by my words, and after a while, I suddenly recalled a past, so I asked: "By the way, Xiaoyu, when I first lived in the community before, one day a lot of ants came into my room, and you did it, right?" Later, I went to buy a bottle of insecticide, but the insecticide exploded by itself, and it almost hurt me at that time. ”

Xiao Yu shook her head and said, "Who knew you would buy that kind of thing?" It was raining at the beginning, right? The ants in your room really didn't put them in, because of the weather and some other reasons, the smell system of those ants was affected, and they ran to your room on their own. Because you were the newest resident of our community at that time, the smell on your body was the most unfamiliar smell in our community, which had a certain attraction to those ants, so they ran to your house. As for your insecticide explosion... We knew then that it exploded because the ants sensed a threat, and they went to carry out a suicide attack on their own, and we couldn't control that, but luckily you haven't bought anything like that since then. ”

Lao Gu interjected at this time: "Yes, I haven't told you all this time, don't get that kind of thing in our community, it's so unlucky." ”

Xiaoyu added: "yes, didn't you find out? There are no mosquitoes in our community, what are you doing with insecticides? ”

Listening to their slightly reproachful tone, I explained a little embarrassedly: "Uh... How did I know there was such a thing? Xiaoyu smiled: "Well, those who don't know are not guilty, but fortunately you haven't gotten that kind of thing again." ”

At this moment, Dr. Song exclaimed again: "Found it!" ”

So we all went into a state of holding our breath again, staring nervously at the man on the bed.

Two or three minutes later, an ant, slightly larger than its companion, emerged from the nostrils of the man on the bed, covered in blood.

Doctor Song then took out a thumb-sized transparent glass bottle, and in an instant, his hand swept past the face of the man on the bed as fast as lightning. In the next second, I saw that there was an extra ant in the clean and transparent glass bottle in Dr. Song's hand, which was the one that had just come out of the man's nostrils and was covered in blood.

After Dr. Song put the lid on the glass bottle, I asked curiously, "Can you show me?" ”

Doctor Song looked at Lao Gu, and Lao Gu said, "If you like to see it, show it to him, don't open the lid and it's fine." ”

Dr. Song nodded, carefully handed the glass bottle to me, and then walked behind a screen.

I also took the glass bottle cautiously and looked closely.

When I looked closer, I realized that the reason why I thought this ant was a little too big was because it was holding something in its mouth, and it was wrapped in blood, so I mistakenly thought that this ant and what was in its mouth were one and the same.
