Chapter 219 Killing Insects
Jiang Li thought of what she had just witnessed, and her stomach churned, acid reflux rose in her throat, and she gagged.
Ye Jingmo gently patted her back to make Jiang Li more comfortable.
Seeing that Jiang Li was vomiting incessantly, Ye Jingmo took a water glass from the table and handed it to Jiang Li, hoping that she would drink some water to calm down.
Jiang Li recalled the previous scene, and her dry heaving became even more severe. Her face turned bright red, and she waved her hand to refuse Ye Jingmo.
She took out a bottle of mineral water from her spatial storage and took a few sips to suppress the nausea.
Jiang Li pointed to the gourd on the ground, panting, and said to Ye Jingmo:
There seems to be something in the water.
Ye Jingmo frowned slightly, picked up the fallen ladle, squatted down and carefully examined the puddle on the ground. He spotted what Jiang Li had mentioned.
White, thread-like insects struggled and writhed in the shallow water.
Ye Jingmo used a pair of disposable chopsticks to pick up the two insects and put them in a disposable plastic cup.
Slender worms stretched out and scurried around in the plastic cup.
Pudding, unaware of what was happening, instinctively reached out to sniff the puddles on the ground.
Jiang Li quickly pressed Pudding's mouth shut, afraid that it would instinctively stick out its tongue to lick the water on the ground.
Who knows if there are any insect eggs in that water?
She took Pudding out of the kitchen and made it lie quietly on the sofa, not moving around.
If the eggs were to hatch inside her body, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel nauseous just thinking about the scenes from the movie "Deranged".
After Ye Jingmo put a little water into the plastic cup, he asked Jiang Li to take out a deworming pill from her spatial storage.
The pill dissolved in the water, and the insects' vitality visibly weakened. Soon after, they floated on the surface of the water and became still.
It seems that the deworming medicine can kill the bugs.
This discovery delighted Ye Jingmo.
This water is drawn from a well through pipes. The pipes are equipped with filters, so there shouldn't be any insects in them. Could it be from the well?
Groundwater does have connections to the outside world, so perhaps these insects hatched in the groundwater from outside.
When Ye Jingmo came out of the kitchen, he saw Jiang Li's deathly pale face.
He went over and gently massaged Jiang Li's stomach to make her feel better.
"Still feeling nauseous? How about eating some preserved plums or something?"
Jiang Li shook her head and quickly said:
"There are bugs swimming in the water. I don't know if we've ingested any bug eggs. Let's take the deworming medicine first!"
Jiang Li was worried that they might put the worm eggs into their bodies, and the thought of it made her shudder. She wouldn't feel at ease until they took the deworming medicine.
And it wasn't just her and Ye Jingmo who ate together; Pudding and Jelly were also to be eaten together.
Jiang Li immediately took out the insect repellent from her spatial storage, the one that had just been opened.
Looking at the instructions that it should be taken on an empty stomach at night, Jiang Li hesitated.
"I saw that it says to take it on an empty stomach at night, so we should be on an empty stomach, but it's still daytime now."
Ye Jingmo thought for a moment, "Take one now, and another one tomorrow night."
Seeing Jiang Li's anxious expression, the evening was also hard to bear.
I might as well take the deworming medication for two consecutive days, which would enhance its effectiveness.
Jiang Li finally relaxed a little after swallowing the deworming medicine with water.
However, it's easy for humans to take medicine, but it's much more complicated for animals.
Fortunately, Pudding was quite well-behaved; Ye Jingmo had trained it before.
But Jelly was different; the little guy was a bit resistant to taking medicine. Jiang Li came up with a solution: she had Ye Jingmo hold it still, then she pried open Jelly's mouth and stuffed the medicine down its throat.
If you accidentally swallow the jelly, the medicine will go into your stomach.
