Chapter 32: Bugs That Eat Flesh
Lin Xinhuan took his hand lovingly, and was relieved when she didn't find any burn marks on his hand. She rubbed his little finger.
As expected, Xiong Dabao took Lin Xinhuan's hand and never let go.
Xiong Ermu felt that his eldest son spoke strangely today. He clearly took the stone bowl himself yesterday, so why was he boiling it?
Only the wise Xiong Sanmei understood and rolled her eyes at Xiong Dabao.
"Is it like what my sister did yesterday, with bubbles in the water?"
It's hard to boil water in a pot made of stone. Could it be that they took it up halfway through boiling it?
Unexpectedly, it is true.
Xiong Dabao said that the temperature just increased and he did not see any bubbles.
Because they only have a fire, which they usually use for lighting and barbecue.
It is very troublesome to boil water in a stone pot, as you have to hold the bowl while boiling.
They don't have the awareness that raw water is not drinkable, they drink raw water on a daily basis.
So Xiong Dabao just stupidly did what Lin Xinhuan told him to do.
The cultural differences between the two times and spaces made the two people unaware that the meanings of warm water were fundamentally different.
One is the water that has cooled down after being boiled.
One is to boil water until it is warm.
"Silly boy, you have to boil water before drinking it, otherwise you will have a stomachache. Then the bugs in the water will get into your stomach and eat your flesh."
Lin Xinhuan scratched Xiong Dabao's belly.
Xiong Dabao immediately imagined a bug as thick as a stick rolling around in his stomach and biting it open.
The little girl's face turned pale and she felt a pain in her stomach: "Woo woo~ Sister, save Dabao, I don't want to be eaten by bugs."
He held Lin Xinhuan's thighs, sat on her shoes, and did not let go.
Xiong Sibao didn't understand what everyone was saying. His brother was crying, so he started crying too.
Lin Xinhuan quickly coaxed him, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll give Dabao some candy later, and I guarantee that the bugs in Dabao's stomach will be killed."
He clenched his fists and made a gesture as if he was going to beat someone up.
When Xiong Dabao heard that he could eat candies and kill bugs, he burst into laughter and blew a snot bubble.
"Fourth Treasure also has candy to eat. Second Treasure and Third Sister also have candy to eat."
Xiong Sibao hummed and called out happily.
The children were filled with anticipation and looked at Lin Xinhuan with admiration.
You are worthy of being called Candy Man!
Lin Xinhuan's ears regained their composure and she sighed: To be a good balancer, one needs to cultivate oneself.
Xiong Ermu couldn't help being excited: "Xin Huan-da... will everything be alright if we just beat the bugs out?!"
Lin Xinhuan’s description reminded him of many of his dead tribesmen.
Every year, there are cases of cubs and weak females dying from abdominal pain, especially.
I have never eaten dead grass, and I have never left the tribe.
The day of death is no different from any other ordinary day or night.
But I had an inexplicable abdominal pain that made me roll on the ground in pain.
Because no one knew the cause and there was no wizard in the tribe who could cure the disease, he died in agony.
The cause of the mysterious death caused panic among the people of Zhuyuan tribe, and no matter how careful they were, it could not be avoided.
Thinking of this, it is very likely that bugs have entered the stomach!
"If there are bugs in my eyes, is it because I drink raw water?"
Xiong Ermu thought of his neighbor She Xishui, whose eyes had been red these days and you could clearly see a small worm swimming in his eyeballs.
The snake Xishui thought he was a strong male and that a tiny insect not even as big as his fingernail could not hurt him at all, so he ignored it.
When Lin Xinhuan heard that the blood had already entered her eyes, she was shocked.
He put down the fourth baby Xiong from his arms, let the first baby Xiong sit down, and moved his numb feet.
Educate them about the dangers of drinking raw water: "There are very tiny bugs in raw water that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
But when you drink it, they will absorb your nutrients. In simple terms, they grow by eating the food you eat.
As they grow longer, they eat more and more, and eventually, the food is not enough, so they start to eat away at your internal bodies.
However, when the water is heated with fire, the bugs will be killed and will be excreted with feces after entering the body.
The Xiong family felt relieved when they heard that there was a solution.
I'm such a big bear, how could I be killed by a tiny insect?
How can I face people after I die?
"But..." Lin Xinhuan's turn of events made them worried.
"The bugs in the eyes I just mentioned might have gotten into my eyes when I was taking a dip in the stream.
That's more serious than being in the stomach. As the worms grow bigger, they will eat into the brain. Without the brain, the person will die."
Although it was clearly a statement, Xiong Ermu seemed to hear a voice from hell.
I thought about it roughly and was trembling with fear.
I have lost my brain, it's so tragic.
Brother Snake, take care.
The snake Xiaoshui, who was far away in the beast world, sneezed violently and wiped his nose with his sleeve.
"Ha! My eyes are itchy and my head hurts a bit lately. Did you not sleep well?"
While muttering to himself, he just got up from the bed and lay back down on the bed.
He was so exhausted that he didn't notice that he was sleeping longer these days.
The smaller ones all turned into their original forms and huddled together.
Lin Xinhuan looked at the trembling little girl and realized that what she said was a little scary.
The children couldn't bear to hear it, so they squatted down, hugged them, and rubbed Maomao.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Don't drink raw water or play in dirty, smelly water, and there won't be any bugs."
The gentle tone and warm smell quickly calmed their hearts.
He smiled and held Lin Xinhuan up with his head, acting coquettishly.
The old father Xiong Ermu cried in his heart, why am I not a cub!
I also want a kiss and hug from the beast god~
But Xiong Ermu is an adult male bear and he cannot do anything shameless.
I can only watch my child acting coquettishly with envy.
After Lin Xinhuan comforted the little bear, she opened a pack of A4 paper and took out a sheet.
Use a black pen to draw a clay stove.
"Use stones and mud to make a shape like this, leaving a hole on top for the pot.
Leave a hole in the middle of the bottom and put wood and dry grass in it. The fire source is inside the hole."
Lin Xinhuan picked up an iron pot that required both hands to hold, and put it in the cart.
"The iron pot, you can use it to boil water and cook."
It’s not that she doesn’t like beautifully shaped pots, the key is that beautiful and small pots are not easy to sell in Kinabalu town.
People in the town like to cook rice in iron pots. They say that iron pots are durable and the rice cooked in them is nutritious.
That thin little pot was scrapped after cooking once or twice.
Lin Xinhuan's family still uses the traditional wood-burning stove and a large iron pot. One pot can stew two large geese.
Every day Lin Xinhuan can eat a plate of hotpot, half of which is sprinkled with pepper and salt, and the other half is sprinkled with sugar.
Holding my little feet, I want all the sweet and savory party pies, as an adult!
Xiong Ermu held the detailed structural drawing in his hands, as if he had found a treasure.
The light piece of paper seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in my palm.
