Chapter 408: Disgusting Bugs
"No, I can't stand it anymore." After saying this, Liu Caifeng covered her mouth and ran out. After a while, the sound of her vomiting was heard outside.
The others listened to the noises outside and all looked unhappy, probably trying to endure it.
Li Yiyi picked up a stick from the ground and picked up one of the white wireworms in the bucket and took a look. Wow, it disappeared as soon as it was taken out.
This situation stunned everyone present. After hesitating for a moment, Li Yiyi immediately looked at the water in the bucket, and then she put the white wireworm in her hand back into the water. The next second, something strange happened again. The white wireworm actually came into everyone's sight again.
"This, this is gone just now, Comrade Li, did you see it?" Hong Shuo asked while rubbing his eyes with an unbelieving look on his face.
Li Yiyi pursed her lips and looked at the white nematodes in the water with serious eyes.
"I remember there seem to be some insect researchers here. Can you ask them to come and take a look at these insects?" Li Yiyi turned and said to Hong Shuo.
When Hong Shuo heard this, he quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask those insect researchers to come over and take a look."
After saying that, he immediately turned and walked towards the researchers standing not far away.
When Gu Weiwei saw him coming, she immediately pulled on his shirt and asked, "Hong Shuo, what are those bugs about? Aren't there bugs in the water we drink?"
Hong Shuo could see that his little girl was frightened, so he quickly patted her on the back of her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, no matter what these bugs are for, we can eliminate them."
After coaxing the little one, he immediately turned to the researchers standing there and asked, "Are there any of you here who are studying insects? Please come out for a moment. Comrade Li wants to ask you something."
When the researchers in the crowd heard his call, three male comrades stood up.
"We are studying insects. The three of us will go with you to take a look." One of them said loudly.
Seeing this, Hong Shuo immediately expressed his gratitude to them.
"You're welcome. You and Comrade Li have taken care of us along the way. Now that we need your help, we are naturally willing to help." Another male comrade said.
Soon, under the leadership of Hong Shuo, they came to the backyard.
"Comrade Li, these three comrades are professors who study insects." After coming in, Hong Shuo said to Li Yiyi who was still squatting beside the bucket studying the insects.
Li Yiyi raised her eyes and saw three professors standing behind him. She immediately stood up and walked towards them, while telling them the purpose of her visit.
"We just took a look at these insects from a distance, but we have never seen this kind of insects before. To be honest, we just discussed it and found that the three of us have no idea what this kind of insects are." After hearing what she said, one of the male professors answered honestly with a guilty look on his face.
After hearing what he said, Li Yiyi raised her eyebrows, frowned and asked again, "Have you three never heard of this kind of insect? Even seen it in a book?"
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Li Yiyi sighed. She had thought that she could get something out of these insect experts, but it seemed that this hope was dashed.
"Okay, it's okay, thank you, you can go back and rest first." Although she didn't ask anything, she still thanked them.
After Hong Shuo sent the three of them out, he came back. When he came back, he found that Li Yiyi was still staring at the bugs in the bucket.
"Doctor Li, do you think it is possible that the poisoning of the people in this village is related to these nematodes?" After hesitating for a while, he decided to ask the question that had been on his mind.
Li Yiyi pursed her lips and said, "It's possible. I just tried it, and the water we brought back from the mountains didn't have these bugs. This means that these bugs are only found in the water from that ancient well."
After hearing what she said, Hong Shuo's eyes lit up, "Comrade Li, if that's the case, can we drink the water we bring from the mountains?"
Li Yiyi glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Okay, but you still have to be careful. When you use water later, sprinkle a pill first and see if there are no bugs. There's no problem."
Hong Shuo nodded, "Okay, I'll give the order later."
Seeing that no useful information could be obtained from these nematodes, Li Yiyi had to put the matter aside and asked Hong Shuo about the situation on Jiang Hong's side.
"Comrade Hong, is there any news from Jiang Hong? Do they know that we will be staying in this village tonight?" she asked.
Hong Shuo smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Comrade Li, if Lao Jiang and his men come down from the mountain, they will definitely find this place. I have marked the way for them, so there will be no problem."
Li Yiyi smiled. After hearing his answer, she was really relieved.
When it was completely dark, Dazhu brought several women from the village over with dinner.
Having been reminded by the bugs in the bucket just now, when everyone saw the dinner brought over, their stomachs suddenly churned and they had no desire to eat at all.
After dinner was served, Dazhu realized that none of them had picked up their chopsticks, and he also found that these researchers looked very uncomfortable.
"Doctor Li, why don't you pick up your chopsticks? Although the food we cook is a bit simple, it is already the best in our village. I'm really sorry!" Thinking that people were dissatisfied with the food cooked in their own village, Dazhu explained with an apologetic look on his face.
After hearing what he said, Li Yiyi realized that he had misunderstood her and her friends and meant that they were not eating.
"Brother Dazhu, come with me to the backyard. After you look at those things, you will understand why we dare not touch these chopsticks." After saying that, she took the lead and walked towards the backyard.
Seeing this, Dazhu hesitated for a moment, then immediately followed.
"Doctor Li, what do you want me to see?" After arriving at the backyard, Dazhu looked at the empty backyard of the educated youth site. Except for a bucket, there was nothing here.
Li Yiyi walked to the bucket and stood beside it, then pointed at the bucket in front of her and said to him, "Look inside this bucket and you'll know what I want you to see."
After hearing what she said, Dazhu looked doubtful, but he still walked to the bucket obediently and looked out. He saw densely packed long worms on the bucket, and he almost vomited out the fat meat he had eaten at noon.
