Pig Killer

Chapter 158

Shen Hui'e searched her memory after hearing this, and looked at Doctor Li with a stern look in her eyes, saying, "Forget it, don't go. Let's spread the word." She stopped him and said, "Don't go. If you offend the noble again, what will happen if you are punished?"

"Am I that bad at talking?" Doctor Li looked at her with amusement, and said, "I'll go and give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll leave!" He hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, I've treated you, so I still have some face." He stood up and said, "This should be done as soon as possible. If we miss the season, we'll have to wait until next year. I'll go now."

Shen Hui'e then stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"Mother, let's go too." Da Chong stood up and said hurriedly.

"Why are you following me?" Doctor Li looked at them with amusement and said, "I'm not going to venture into any dangerous place."

"We'll be waiting for you outside." Shen Hui'e said to him with a smile.

"Uncle Doctor, just let us wait outside." Li Nu said to Doctor Li with eager eyes.

"Okay!" Doctor Li had no choice but to say in the face of their insistence.

"Second Aunt, Second Aunt, let's go too." Huang Yuanji looked at them straight and said.

"Second Aunt, what does this stomach worm mean?" Huang Zhaoye looked at them with confusion on his face.

"Let's go! Let's talk while walking." Shen Hui'e said to them with her deep black eyes.

Shen Hui'e locked the gate of the courtyard, and the group walked towards the county government office. She explained the whole story.

Huang Que'er covered her belly and looked at her in disbelief, "Aunt, is this true?"

"Why would I lie to you? Doctor Li personally demonstrated how to kill the insect." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said.

"So we have worms in our stomachs too!" Huang Yuanji pointed at himself and looked at Doctor Li and said, "Uncle Doctor."

"Let me feel your pulse." Doctor Li grabbed his wrist and said, "Yes."

"Why don't I feel anything?" Huang Yuanji said, touching his belly, "It's not moving!"

"You'd be scared to death if there was any noise." Shen Hui'e looked at him stupidly and said, "Imagine so many earth dragons."

Huang Yuanji really thought about it after hearing this and shuddered, "I can't even imagine it."

"In fact, you should be able to feel it even without taking the pulse." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, "You can't gain weight no matter how much you eat, and you grind your teeth when you sleep. These are all manifestations of worms in your stomach."

"Ah!" They were all surprised.

"Am I grinding my teeth?" Huang Yuanji asked, pointing at himself.

"Teeth grinding! I've heard it before." Huang Zhaoye stroked the hair beside his ears and said, "Our whole family does it, and I thought it was normal!"

"Then why can't you gain weight?" Huang Queer asked curiously.

"Because the bugs shared the food you ate." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her bright eyes and said.

"Oh! Damn bugs, I'm still not full!" said the yellow bird angrily.

"It will be fine after taking the medicine." Huang Yuanji asked them with his dark eyes.

"After taking the medicine, the worms will be excreted from the body along with the feces. You'll be fine." Doctor Li looked at him gently and said.

"Since my father is not here, I have to go find them." Huang Yuanji said without thinking.

"Go back and prepare the medicine. It won't be too late to go later." Shen Hui'e reminded him.

"Yeah!" Huang Yuanji nodded in response.

As they were talking, they arrived at the main street of the county government office.

&*&

Doctor Li stood at the street corner, looked at them and said, "You guys just wait here, I'll go over."

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear black eyes and watched him leave and enter the county government office.

"Mother, will there be good news from the doctor?" Da Chong asked worriedly as he looked at the majestic county government office from afar.

"I don't know." Shen Hui'e looked at the simple gate of the government office with her deep eyes and said, "If they don't agree, we can do it ourselves! Let's mobilize the people around us to spread the word and kill the insects ourselves."

"What if they don't believe it?" Li Nu said worriedly.

"We can't control that." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "We can't force them!" Then she added, "This is poisonous after all. If something goes wrong, who will take the responsibility?"

"Didn't they say that those with low toxicity can be ignored?" Huang Yuanji looked at her with wide eyes.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst. People's physical conditions are different." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "So if you don't believe it, don't force it."

"He's coming out. Uncle Doctor is coming out." Huang Que'er pointed at the gate of the county government office.

"It came out so soon." Shen Hui'e said in surprise.

"It's settled." Li Nu looked at the doctor with joy in his eyes and said, looking at the doctor with a sullen face, "It seems that we haven't convinced them yet."

"I'm afraid so." Shen Hui'e looked at Doctor Li who was walking towards them with cold eyes and said, "If the deal is successful, we must discuss the details and how to implement it. Now it comes out so quickly, it seems that it won't work."

"Let's go! Let's go home and talk about it." Doctor Li waved his hand and said.

The whole journey was very silent, with only the sound of footsteps.

Doctor Li sat on the bench and looked at them and said, "The county magistrate disagreed and accused me of talking nonsense. If there were worms in my stomach, my internal organs would have been eaten up by them."

"Ah!" Huang Yuanji said, holding his stomach, "No way!"

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Shen Hui'e said gratefully to comfort them who were frightened.

"In short, they disagreed and said I was exaggerating." Doctor Li looked at them dejectedly and said, "For the sake of our past friendship, I will not pursue it."

"Then let's kill the insects ourselves!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her gentle eyes and said, "Those who believe can collect the herbs themselves, and those who don't believe can do nothing."

"Okay! I'm leaving." Doctor Li stood up and looked at the big tiger and said, "Big tiger, come with me to get some herbs. I have collected a lot of herbs and I have prepared a lot."

"Hey!" the tiger responded crisply.

"Da Chong, take some steamed bread to Uncle Doctor." Shen Hui'e looked up at her son and instructed.

"The steamed corn bread made by the butcher's wife must be extraordinary." Doctor Li joked when he heard it.

"It's really special. It's made with roasted persimmons and the flour is sweet! Sweeter than honey." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with curved eyebrows.

"Then I must try it." Doctor Li laughed heartily.

Da Chong carried the basket and followed Doctor Li back to the pharmacy. When he came back, he had more herbs in his hands.

Shen Hui'e took a wooden spoon and scooped a spoonful from the earthenware jar, "I'll eat it first."

"Wait, mother, do you really want to eat it?" The big tiger stretched out his hand to stop her and said.

"Of course." Shen Hui'e recalled, "It must be bitter to eat like this, and I will choke." She pointed at them with her index finger and said, "Water, bring me some water."

"I'll go." Li Nu brought the earthenware jar directly, and Cheng Donglai brought the coarse pottery bowl.

Shen Hui'e put a spoonful of medicine powder into her mouth, and it was like filling her mouth with sand.

It was so bitter! I almost vomited, so I took two big gulps of water.

Shen Hui'e patted her chest and swallowed the medicine. She said in a hoarse voice, "Well... I think you should mix it into juice! It's too hard to swallow like this."

"I'll go get the bowls." Cheng Donglai ran to the kitchen, brought back a stack of bowls and placed them on the table.

Shen Hui'e took a spoon and scooped the medicine powder into a bowl, while Huang Yuanji held a clay pot and poured water into it.

"You guys go for a walk on your own," Shen Hui'e instructed them.

The big bug held the bowl, shook it, and soaked the powder in the water thoroughly. He took a sip from the bowl, his eyes widened instantly, and he stuck out his tongue, "It's so bitter, so bitter."

"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e quickly picked up the earthenware jar and poured him some water, urging him, "Quick! Rinse your mouth."

The big insect squatted in the vegetable garden with a cup of water and rinsed his mouth.

Huang Yuanji and Cheng Donglai also drank the medicine in one gulp. "It's okay! It's not particularly bitter."

"Even if it doesn't taste bitter, go rinse your mouth." Shen Hui'e looked at them gently and urged.

Shen Hui'e divided the medicine powder into some parts and asked Huang Yuanji and others to take it back to Huang's mother.

"Let's stop here today! Go back and explain everything to your grandmother and your mother." Shen Hui'e said to them with her glassy eyes.

"I know, I know." Huang Yuanji said while holding the clay pot, "Second Aunt, we are leaving."

"I'll see you off." Shen Hui'e sent the children away, then took the divided medicine powder and went to the blacksmith shop first.

&*&

After hearing this, Tie Feng's eyes widened and he stammered, "Second sister, second sister, did I hear it right?"

"No, no." Shen Hui'e shook her head slightly and said, "Doctor Li has already tried it and expelled the worms."

"How is this possible?" Shen Yun'e looked at her in disbelief.

"Why would I lie to you?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with amusement and said, "The result will be clear in three days." She looked directly at Tie Feng and said, "Brother-in-law, this is medicine powder. It's up to you to take it or not."

"You've all eaten, so eat it!" Tie Feng said immediately after hearing this, "One spoonful at a time, three times a day, for three consecutive days."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.

"Don't forget me." Shen Yun'e looked at her man with her almond-shaped eyes.

"No, no, pregnant women can't eat it." Shen Hui'e hurriedly stopped her, "Medicine is three-quarters toxic, you are pregnant! You can't eat it."

"Aren't they all infested with worms?" Shen Yun'e looked at her anxiously and said, "Will it be bad for the child if I don't take the medicine?"

"No! I didn't get it just now." Shen Hui'e comforted her, "It's okay to deworm after you give birth."

Shen Yun'e blinked and said, "Right! Then I'll wait." She asked curiously, "What do the insects look like?"

"It's better if you don't know." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a frown on her face and said, "It's disgusting. I'm afraid you'll vomit and have psychological trauma in the future."

"Is it so scary?" Shen Yun'e looked at her with her almond-shaped eyes and said, "I've seen everything."

"Why are you so curious about this? You're just like an earth dragon." Shen Hui'e looked at her unhappily.
