Taming beasts starts with raising cats
Chapter 19: Insect Eggs
How to deal with the monkey's body became a problem, and Bai Ye was a little embarrassed.
The best way is to skin the monkey and make full use of all its value.
But this is a monkey, a primate, not a human, but still somewhat similar.
What's more important is that Bai Ye has never dealt with a monkey, not just a monkey, he has never even killed a chicken.
Standing in front of the monkey's corpse, Bai Ye was at a loss as to what to do.
The biggest animal he has killed so far is a cockroach.
But he has a clear conscience in his heart. If he wants to live in this world and live well, he will inevitably come into contact with this thing.
Bai Ye returned to the house he rented before,
Water is a scarce resource at home now, so it is impossible to have a large amount of water to clean the blood.
If the body was disposed of in this room, there would definitely be a strong smell of blood.
Holding the monkey's body, the blood passed through Bai Ye's arms and dripped on the ground, sprinkling blood spots along the way.
Not long after, the sound of chopping came from the room...
It was a sleepless night.
My wife's body has been placed, and the house has been checked repeatedly to confirm that there are no missing bugs.
After finishing all this, Zhou Daling sat by the window, with the window open and the cold wind blowing.
Zhou Xiaoshan walked as quietly as possible and walked behind his father.
He passed the hand behind his back.
Zhou Daling turned his head and looked at the pack of cigarettes in front of him.
He took the cigarette without saying anything, "Give me a lighter."
Zhou Xiaoshan handed the prepared lighter to his father.
Zhou Daling lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, sucked all the smoke into his lungs, and then exhaled it slowly.
"Children, don't smoke." Zhou Daling patted his son's hand that wanted to hold a cigarette, then took out one and handed it to Zhou Xiaoshan, "Just this one."
The father and son were sitting by the window, one with broad shoulders but slightly old, the other with thin shoulders but full of vitality.
The next day, a rumor spread in the building.
It is said that a man-eating insect appeared in the building!
This kind of insect is so pervasive that it can get into the head from the ear while sleeping, and then eat all the internal organs of the person.
But very few people believed it, and it wasn’t until someone exposed today that their family members were bitten by bugs that the news completely broke out.
People were panicked for a while.
And it wasn't just the bites. It is said that other people besides Zhou Daling's wife died.
Just because there is no Internet, communication is inconvenient.
Everyone gathered together at Dou Juan's house, with the coffee table in the middle, and everyone was discussing with each other.
Dou Juan's home has become the place for discussion meetings by default, and Dou Juan doesn't care.
"I think I know where these bugs came from," Zhou Daling said.
The others looked at Zhou Daling, waiting for him to continue speaking.
"It should have something to do with the pool we went to play that day." Zhou Daling blamed himself extremely.
Everyone who has had an accident in the past few days has one thing in common, that is, they went to the cold pool in Beihou Mountain to get water.
"No wonder the leopard didn't want to get close. Leopards are smarter than humans." Zhou Daling laughed at himself.
They thought the snow leopards were afraid of the crowds and retreated, but now that they thought about it, they were clearly afraid of the insects that might exist in the cold pool.
"Dad, I also saw the pond water you brought back at that time. There were no insects in it." Zhou Xiaoshan said doubtfully.
At that time, Zhou Daling brought back a whole bucket of water in a large iron bucket.
"And we all drank water. If there were bugs in the water... Mom would not be the only one in our family to have an accident."
"You don't understand, because all we drink is boiled water." Zhou Daling said.
"Even if there are any insect eggs in the water, they will die if they are boiled, but... the water at home is only boiled when it is drunk, and the remaining water is just placed in the water tank, and then the eggs hatch." Zhou Daling said.
"I suspect this kind of insect likes high temperatures." Zhou Daling expressed his guess after thinking about it all night.
"Before, in the cold pool, the temperature was very low and the insects did not hatch. They were still in the state of eggs. Maybe this kind of insects would hatch as long as it reached a certain temperature. So after being brought back, the eggs hatched by themselves. It is precisely because They like high temperatures, so they crawl towards torches.”
The more Zhou Daling talked, the more he felt that his guess was correct. He scratched his head painfully, "If only I could have discovered it earlier."
"Perhaps they will enter the stomach when someone drinks water. If the water is not boiled and drank directly into the stomach..." Li Yundong shuddered.
"There was a family upstairs who drank the water without boiling it, and their bodies were discovered today," Zhou Daling said.
Because something happened at home, he paid special attention to this kind of thing.
In the morning, he went to knock on the door of another house where he was fetching water, but no one opened the door.
Finally, I climbed in through the corridor window and discovered the situation.
The family's corpses became nests for hatching bugs.
Fortunately, he brought a torch and used the high temperature of the flame to attract all the insects into his own trap.
"It's too scary." Everyone was a little palpitated and a little sad.
This feeling of not being able to control one's life and death, and having one's life hanging by a thread at any time, is very helpless.
"Even the water you drink is dangerous." Peng Xiuying murmured to herself in a low voice.
This feeling is terrifying, as if there is a large invisible net in the surrounding environment, and they are insects in the middle of the grid.
Every step is unknown, and no one knows whether the next step will touch the edge of death.
"That means we can only go to the foot of the mountain to fetch water from now on." Tong Ji said.
"If the water brought back can be handled well...it should be fine." Zhou Daling looked at his son who was sitting beside him.
He and his son drank the water from the cold pond. If there was any danger, it should have erupted long ago.
They couldn't sit here safely.
Having said that, everyone was still very afraid of the water in the cold pond.
For many people, they would rather walk a little further to the stream at the foot of the mountain to fetch water than take the risk of drinking water that might have insects.
For example, some Japanese experts said that the nuclear waste water in Fukushima has reached the standard of safe drinking after treatment...but do you dare to drink it?
"I was going to go out today, but I didn't expect this kind of thing that no one wants to see to happen." Tong Ji said.
Looking at the state of these two people, they may need to rest for a day.
"We are fine, we can go now. The dead are gone, and we must always look forward." Zhou Daling said lightly.
...
"I'll take my cat with me when I go out today." Bai Ye said.
"Your cat...is so big." Tong Ji said.
Several other people also looked at Bai Ye's cat in shock.
Is this a cat?
This might be a leopard!
I have never seen such a big cat before. Last night in the corridor, it was very dark, and the incident happened suddenly, so everyone was observing Bai Ye's cat.
But now they can see it clearly.
Bai Ye's cat is very big.
It is the biggest cat they have ever seen in their lives.
