Duan Jianhua touched the few remaining hairs on his head, looking puzzled.
"What kind of worm? Why does the child need deworming?"
Gu Zuozuo told Duan Jianhua that three out of ten people who came to her for treatment had children with stomach aches, which made Duan Jianhua's eyelids twitch.
"Okay, cook more later, so that both adults and children can get rid of the parasites."
After thinking about it, Gu Zuozuo didn't refuse. The adults in the village might have lived for decades without ever getting rid of insects, so it would be good to take this opportunity to get rid of them together.
Thinking of this, a gloating glint flashed in Gu Zuozuo's eyes.
The village is likely to be quite lively these next few days, and it will probably become a source of psychological trauma for many people.
"Don't rush off after you finish eating! Gu Zhiqing has prepared some herbal soup. Adults and children alike, come and have a bowl. Anyone who doesn't will have their work points deducted!"
Some people below were unhappy and started shouting it out.
"Why would we drink medicine when we're perfectly healthy? We might even get sick from it!"
"Who said drinking medicine cures your illness? You think you can just take medicine for free? You're dreaming! This medicine kills the worms in your stomach. If you don't find it disgusting, then don't drink it!"
The man ducked back into the crowd, muttering to himself.
"Captain, do we really have worms in our stomachs? What do they look like?"
Duan Jianhua didn't know either, so he looked at Gu Zuozuo beside him and gestured for her to explain.
Gu Zuozuo remained silent for a while before banishing the image from her mind and answering with a blank expression.
"Like noodles."
There was a moment of stunned silence, then someone muttered, "I've never eaten noodles more than twice in my entire life."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zuozuo's face twisted in pain for a moment. She swore that she would never touch noodles again in her life!
After the lively meal of reminiscing about the past and appreciating the present, it was nearly dusk, and the sky had darkened.
Some people chatted, while others went home.
Gu Zuozuo also sent the two girls back to the educated youth settlement.
Back at the clinic, I picked up the prepared bucket, filled it with a little water, grabbed a flashlight, and headed straight out the door towards the foot of the mountain.
"Sister Zuo Zuo, where are you going? Grandma asked me to bring you some vegetables."
Ma Liang struggled to walk over, carrying a basket full of chili peppers, green beans, and eggplants. His forehead was covered in sweat. He looked at Gu Zuozuo, who seemed ready to go out, and wondered why she was going out when it was almost dark.
Why did you come at this time?
Reluctantly, I reopened the door, let him carry the basket inside, and then locked the door again.
"Grandma said you don't grow any vegetables, and she's worried you won't have anything to eat, so she asked me to bring you some. Sister Zuo Zuo, where are you going?"
"Do you want to go catch some cicada nymphs?"
Ma Liang's eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly threw down his basket, ready to follow her.
"I'll go! I don't have a flashlight at home, and the brigade leader doesn't allow us to bring torches into the mountains at night. So during the day, Tie Dan and I dug up a few cicada larvae and even used wheat leaves to hang a few up, but we didn't catch many. Not even enough to fill a tooth gap."
Gu Zuozuo hummed in agreement and poked his excited little face.
"Go home and tell Grandma, take your own bucket, and I'll lend you a flashlight."
The one she's holding is the high-powered flashlight she got from checking in; the one she originally bought in the countryside is still lying in her storage space.
Ma Liang exclaimed "Hey!" and ran off as fast as he could.
At night, a crescent moon hung in the sky, its light not very bright. Two flashlights, one strong and one weak, flickered intermittently in the woods filled with the chirping of insects and birds.
Perhaps because no one is catching them, there are so many cicada nymphs that some trees have more than a dozen, while others have at least four or five.
It truly lived up to its reputation as the era with the most abundant resources; there were so many natural things.
Wild cicada nymphs, a summer delicacy, are becoming increasingly rare, and are being consumed as farmed products.
The system happily collected the young cicada that the host had secretly smuggled into its space into its own space, and its electronic eye turned into a star with joy.
