"Yueyue, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on Li Muqing for you." Huang Xinrui said indignantly as she arrived at the clinic.
Li Muqing started causing trouble for Yueyue as soon as she arrived. Does she really think Yueyue is easy to bully? With her here, Li Muqing will definitely not be allowed to act so arrogantly again.
Li Xiyue laughed and said, "She knows we're close, so why would she reveal her true nature in front of you? Just ignore her and don't let it affect your mood."
She didn't take Li Muqing or Zhou Yutong seriously. If she was in a good mood, she would play with them; if she was in a bad mood, she would just kill them.
“Yueyue, it’s a good thing you moved out. Otherwise, living in the same house with that kind of person every day would affect your mood and your appetite, if not your taste,” Huang Xinrui said.
Li Xiyue patted her shoulder, "Don't worry about me, she's no match for me. It's you who should be on guard against her, since you're under the same roof with her every day."
“I’m the leader of the educated youth team. She has to listen to me. If she doesn’t, I won’t let her eat. I’ll let her starve to death.” Huang Xinrui stood with her hands on her hips, adopting an attitude of “those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish.”
Li Xiyue was relieved. Just then, a patient arrived, so she told Huang Xinrui to go to work as well, while she went to see the patient.
"What's wrong? Is Lanlan feeling unwell?" Li Xiyue asked with concern, looking at Grandma Yu who was holding Xu Lanlan.
Grandma Yu said, "Lanlan has been complaining of stomach pain these past few days, with waves of pain. She also looks like she's lost a lot of weight. At first, we thought it was just food poisoning and didn't pay much attention. Today, she was in so much pain that she was rolling around in bed, so I quickly brought her over for you to see."
Li Xiyue laid the child on the bed, gently pressed her stomach, and asked, "Lanlan, does it hurt here?"
Lanlan cried loudly, "It hurts so much, my tummy hurts so much."
Li Xiyue looked at her complexion, which was sallow, and then looked at her eyes, noticing that the whites of her eyes were covered with dense black spots. She roughly knew what the cause was, and asked Grandma Yu, "Did Lanlan say her bottom was itchy last night?"
“Some people say that I checked and there was no redness or swelling, but she keeps complaining of itching,” Grandma Yu said.
Li Xiyue confirmed, "It's worms in her stomach. I'll get her some deworming medicine, but she can't take it when her stomach hurts. She can take it when the pain subsides."
In those days, hygiene conditions were poor, and people didn't pay much attention to hygiene. They drank untreated water, ate food without washing their hands, and ate raw vegetables and fruits, which contained many parasites that would live in their intestines.
If parasites feed on the host's nutrients for a long time, the host will become pale and emaciated.
Parasites feed on their host's nutrients in the abdomen during the day, and crawl out of the anus to breathe at night, which is why the anus feels itchy at night.
The black spots on the whites of the eyes are caused by roundworms.
When Grandma Yu heard that it was worms in the stomach, she was no longer nervous. This kind of thing is very common. Sometimes they would pass worms from time to time. There were long worms that looked like beans, and worms that were the size of rice grains. There were all kinds of worms.
Li Xiyue prescribed deworming medicine and asked Grandma Yu to take it home and give it to Xu Lanlan before bedtime.
"Brother, take your things back. I want to wander around the village." After exchanging items with the villagers, Zhou Yutong said to Zhou Yunze.
Zhou Yunze said, "Let's not go back to the village. Come back to the educated youth settlement with me. We have to go to work tomorrow, and we haven't finished packing our things yet."
"I'll just wander around for a bit and then head back." Zhou Yunxia ignored the advice and turned to leave.
Zhou Yunze frowned. This younger sister was becoming more and more disobedient. Was she going through a rebellious phase?
Remembering the warnings from the deputy captain and Wang Jiaxing, he called out to his sister's retreating figure, "It's fine to walk around in the village, but whatever you do, don't go up the mountain."
Zhou Yutong ignored her and went straight up the mountain.
Her wood-based abilities are still there, but they've reverted to their initial state. She needs to go to a place with lots of trees to repair her chains and level up.
Guided by her senses, she arrived in the mountains and found a dense forest where she began to absorb wood elements.
There was plenty of wood element in the forest, and she soon felt power in her body. However, leveling up was not easy. She needed to cultivate in a place rich in wood element for at least ten days to reach level one.
