Night 148 Pick up the pieces
Panic at midnight, please close your eyes when it's dark! I'm a ghostly madman, start our story "Pick Up Pieces" right away!
It's a very frugal behavior, but it's not promoted because it's kind of unhygienic, but a lot of people don't do it anymore.
The so-called picking up pieces, simply put, is to pick up the fallen food again, and some of the food is likely to be stained with some dust and dirt when it falls to the ground, and it is really disgusting to eat it again.
However, if you particularly like to eat at that time, you may not care about picking up the pieces once or twice, and some experts say that after the food lands, pick it up within ten seconds, it is still uncontaminated food, and you can continue to eat it with confidence and boldness.
However, what experts say may not be 100% true, and you can't just believe it all, otherwise you will suffer a big loss.
It is said that Zhang Xiaokai was working in the field on this day, at that time, everyone was still the most primitive way of farming, from planting to harvesting completely relying on manpower, fortunately, in that era, everyone did not lack time and strength.
These places are basically mountainous, the area is not large, and it is far away from home, and you will never go home until the sun sets in the morning.
At lunch, I brought my own dry food, and there was nothing to eat, basically cornmeal paste, pickle gnocchi, and a pot of water.
This tortilla, when it first comes out of the pot, is steaming, soft and delicious, but it will become hard after a long time, and the slag will fall down the corner of the mouth when you bite it.
Xiao Kai was young and diligent at that time, and he did not spare any effort to work, picking up a hoe and working until the sun was in the west, and wanted to work for a while, but his stomach "growled" and protested against him dissatisfied.
Xiao Kai had to sit down and rest, wiped the sweat from his forehead, Xiao Kai first took out the kettle and poured it violently, and then took a big bite of the tortilla in his hand.
The reason why I eat it with both hands is to keep the slag from falling to the ground too much.
Soon Xiao Kai ate all the four cakes he brought, stuffed the scum in his hand into his mouth, licked his mouth and still had some unfinished feelings, this age is the time to eat, but the living conditions at home do not allow him to eat too much.
Although he was very careful, there were also some cake crumbs scattered on the ground, and Xiao Kai picked them up one by one, stuffed them into his mouth and ate them.
Suddenly, Xiao Kai violently spit out the things that were crushed into his mouth, and it turned out that he didn't see it clearly just now, and accidentally put a small bug in his mouth.
Xiao Kai felt that the taste was wrong, so he quickly spit out what he had eaten, and rinsed his mouth with water several times, but Xiao Kai still felt that there was a particularly greasy taste in his mouth, and that taste made Xiao Kai feel particularly disgusting.
After eating and resting for a while, Xiao Kai started working again, but the greasy taste in his mouth had not yet dissipated, which made Xiao Kai a little absent-minded when he started working.
Finally stayed up until sunset, and the sky gradually darkened, and it also announced that Xiao Kai's day's work was over, Xiao Kai returned home with a hoe, and his parents had prepared a meal waiting for him to come back to eat.
In the past, when Xiao Kai saw food, he would definitely be desperate to grab it and eat it, but today he felt that he had no appetite at all, and told his parents that he was not hungry, so he went to the room to rest.
The old couple was frightened by the abnormal performance, wondering if Xiao Kai was sick? Otherwise, how could such a big young man not be hungry after a busy day and eating a few tortillas!
Parents are concerned about their children, at night before going to bed worried that Xiaokai will be hungry, the old mother boiled two eggs for Xiaokai, in that era to be able to eat two eggs, it is definitely a hundred times happier than eating abalone and lobster now.
Xiao Kai, who didn't have a little appetite, couldn't stand the temptation of the gluttonous insect when he saw the boiled eggs, so he picked up one and peeled it off and took a big bite.
Just ate it and didn't have time to chew it, it spit it out again, it didn't matter, it was like a flood coming to the gate, Xiao Kai lay on the kang and spit out several mouthfuls of yellow-green bitter water, sprinkled all over the ground, and in the bitter water spit out, there were several tiny yellow insects wriggling, if it weren't for these insects constantly writhing, it would not be easy to find their existence.
How could a normal person vomit these bugs? Parents were sure that Xiao Kai must be sick, so they hurriedly found a neighbor and sent Xiao Kai to a nearby hospital.
Said to be a hospital, in fact, it is a private clinic, there is only one old Chinese medicine doctor in the clinic, and occasionally his daughter will come to help, but the old Chinese medicine doctor's medical skills are still very superb, and he has cured many patients, and everyone is still very confident in his medical skills.
What is rare and commendable is that the old Chinese medicine doctor is highly skilled, treats people quite peacefully, and the fee is also the lowest.
After inquiring about Xiao Kai's condition, the old Chinese medicine doctor reached out and patted Xiao Kai's back lightly twice, and then Xiao Kai spit out two mouthfuls of bitter water, which naturally included those small yellow insects that were difficult to find with the naked eye.
Seeing these insects, the old Chinese medicine doctor couldn't help but be shocked, and asked in surprise: "Where did this child go before he got sick and what did he eat?"
The old couple told the truth, saying that Xiao Kai had only been to work in his own fields, and he ate a few corn tortillas at noon, and spit out half an egg before he finished eating it at night, and then he was sent to the clinic.
The old Chinese medicine doctor asked Xiao Kai's parents not to worry, and boiled some herbs for Xiao Kai and asked Xiao Kai to take it. After that, he asked Xiaokai's parents to lead the way, and went to the field where Xiaokai weeded during the day overnight.
After the old Chinese medicine doctor arrived at the field privately, after looking around, he found a place, took out some herbs and lit them, and soon many small yellow insects gathered together to smell the fragrance.
Although their bodies are not very large, the large number of insects gathered together is also clearly visible, and the dense feeling makes people feel uncomfortable all over the body when they look at it.
Fortunately, the old Chinese medicine doctor immediately took out another strange herb, lit it and threw it on the ground, and it quickly burst into flames more than one meter high!
Immediately afterwards, there was a crackling sound, and those little yellow bugs were burned clean, exuding a greasy and disgusting smell.
Under the repeated questioning of Xiaokai's parents, it was also to reassure them, the old Chinese medicine doctor told the truth that the insect was not an ordinary insect, but a terrible "corpse insect"!
But it's a bug that grows on an animal carcass, and it's covered in grease, and it's real corpse oil!
This kind of insect has a super reproductive ability, and the reason why Xiao Kai has so many worms in his stomach is because he bites a female worm with eggs in her stomach!
Filled with the warm body of the small open to reproduce quickly, if you don't destroy them in time, they will become more and more numerous, and finally the small open belly will burst!
