Xiao Qingyin was terrified and immediately grabbed its furry legs, turned it upside down, and shook it for a while.
"Spit it out! Spit it out right now!"
The eagle owl was shaken until it was dizzy, but it kept its mouth shut and not a drop of saliva fell.
Xiao Qingyin had no choice but to put it down.
"Eating everything will only harm you, do you know that?!"
As she scolded it, she touched the eagle owl's neck, which was perfectly smooth and had nothing on it.
The piece of pig liver had clearly reached its stomach.
She hadn't done an acid-base test yet, so she didn't know if these insects could withstand the corrosive effects of stomach acid.
We can't just stand by and watch the eagle owls get infected with these insects and be eaten by them.
He then opened his medical kit, took out anesthetic powder and surgical instruments, and prepared to perform surgery on the eagle owl to remove the piece of pig liver.
Eagle owls, however, are exceptionally sensitive to danger.
As soon as Xiao Qingyin took out her knife, it leaped into the air and looked at her warily.
"Come down, it's just an apical procedure, it won't hurt you."
Xiao Qingyin called out to it.
To attract it, I even took out its favorite beef cubes.
"Hmph~ Hmph~" I'm not going to give the bugs back to you, they're already inside my stomach.
Xiao Qingyin called out several times, but when the eagle owl refused to come down, she closed the window, opened the door, and went out to find a net or cloth bag to put it in.
But when she returned with her hunting tools, the window was wide open, and the eagle owl was long gone.
This thing can actually open the window by itself!
Xiao Qingyin was furious.
The only one who could help was Yi Jiu, who had come to hand in his homework: "Could you please help me find Owl? It swallowed a pig liver with worms in it and ran outside. I'm afraid it might get infected with worms."
She was not only worried about the eagle owls getting infected, but also about them spreading the insects to other creatures.
These insects are so resilient that Xiao Qingyin could hardly imagine what kind of disaster they would bring to nature and humanity if they were exposed to the wild.
"Okay, I'll go find it right away."
Yi Shuihan immediately agreed.
He also sent people from the neighboring house out.
But even after searching all night and catching hundreds of owls, they still couldn't find the eagle owl.
Xiao Qingyin was extremely worried.
To mitigate the potential harm, she had to accelerate her experiments to find the insect's natural enemies as soon as possible.
Yi Shuihan found a clue.
“We observed her for several days and found that Linlang was taking a pill every day.”
Yi Shuihan brought over a few pills the size of soybeans and gave them to Xiao Qingyin.
Xiao Qingyin was overjoyed.
Take it and test it immediately.
These pills were discovered to be used to suppress the insects' appetite and reproduction rate.
She gave the rabbit, which was infected with worms, a pill. The rabbit was originally losing blood very quickly, but after taking the pill, the rate of blood loss slowed down, and the concentration of worms in its body did not increase further.
Deciphering the drug was not difficult for her; within two days, she understood the pill formula and produced the drug.
I felt a little more at ease.
On the very night she developed the pill, the eagle owl returned.
It looked to be in excellent spirits, showing no signs of weakness caused by excessive blood loss after being infected with insects.
Xiao Qingyin was extremely curious.
She has already conducted experiments on small animals, and these insects can cause infection if ingested.
The eagle owl ate it too, so why does it seem like nothing happened to it?
"Want some?"
She took out some beef chunks to tease the eagle owl.
The eagle owl turned its head away, clearly still angry with her.
Xiao Qingyin coaxed and coaxed it for a while before it finally landed on the table and started pecking at the beef cubes in her hand.
Little did they know, the beef cubes had been seasoned.
Right after finishing eating, it felt dizzy and looked at Xiao Qingyin in disbelief.
"How ruthless! How ruthless~" I trusted you so much, and you actually lied to me.
Then its body went limp and it collapsed onto the table.
Xiao Qingyin smiled.
"You've learned your lesson now, haven't you? Don't eat everything."
She drew some blood from the eagle owl with a syringe and examined it under a microscope.
The syringes were made at the glass workshop, along with the glassware she had been experimenting with these past few days.
To her surprise, the eagle owl's blood did not contain any of the insects.
"Either its gastric juices can digest these worms."
Xiao Qingyin pondered.
"Or, its diet contains something that can fight off these insects."
She was extremely excited.
They immediately used a tube to collect some of the eagle owl's gastric juice for testing.
After the insect was put into the stomach fluid, it neither panicked and fled nor shrank; it just moved around a little uncomfortably.
The results won't be clear in the short term.
As Xiao Qingyin waited and pondered, she didn't notice that the anesthetic had worn off and the eagle owl had woken up.
"Hmph hmph~" I'll make you swoon over me, I'll make you swoon over me!
The eagle owl kept pulling at her hair until it looked like a bird's nest before it let go.
Xiao Qingyin was both annoyed and amused.
"Are you calmed down now?"
"Hmph!" I'll never forgive you!
It glared at Xiao Qingyin, then flew away angrily.
Xiao Qingyin sighed.
It seems she's going to lose her beloved pet.
Yi Shuihan came over to hand in her English homework and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her messy hair.
What happened to your hair?
"The big cat is angry."
Xiao Qingyin replied.
Yi Shuihan immediately understood.
"Do you need any help?"
"Need not."
Xiao Qingyin felt she could handle it.
But she soon realized that her hair was a complete mess!
