Since I was a child, I have had a psychological shadow of such densely packed things, mainly because when I was a child, dense sesame-sized particles erupted on my body every summer vacation. All over my body, taking medicine and hanging water is useless. The first thing I wake up every morning is not to brush my teeth, but to apply medicine to my body. Those ointments do not relieve the symptoms, but just give me a psychological comfort.
But no matter whether you take medicine or not, you will get better after only one week, without any trace.
Later, I don't know how old I was, and I didn't have such a situation anymore. The strange thing was healed, but gradually there was a psychological shadow. I would get goose bumps on dense things, and even dare not look at it.
Chongyang looked strangely at me who was suddenly crazy, "What's the matter?"
I rubbed the sole of my shoe hard on a piece of gravel for a long time, and then slowly said, "It's okay, don't show me this kind of thing in the future."
"Oh, what do you think these cavities leave behind?"
Gu Tang picked up a piece of bone and walked to observe with me on his back, "It should be some kind of small insect, so the borehole looks like it was left a long time ago."
Chongyang nodded, "But I think this kind of insect should still be there. Look..." He picked up a long strip of gravel and moved it in the mud pit.
Gu Tang and I leaned over and saw the black mud faintly mixed with... many small red particles.
These should be... worm eggs.
Gu Tang stared at the eggs in front of him solemnly, "There should be more in the water."
"We can just jump over, be careful, don't touch the water." Chongyang said.
I nodded. The water is not very wide, so I can jump over it easily, "But the point is that the beach on the opposite side is basically all silt, unlike the clean gravel beach on this side."
"Tighten the trousers and jump over?"
"No." Gu Tang shook his head. "These insects have eaten through human bones. It is not safe to use only pants. I don't know if they attack fast or not."
I once read a story in a novel. It was said that during the Vietnam War, someone fell into the swamp of the Vietnamese jungle. When others went to fish, only a transparent human skin was pulled up. One leg fell into a swamp. He was in an ambush and didn't care. When he pulled it out, he found that his calf had been wormed out.
"Or, let's pave the road with stones?" I pointed to the gravel beach beside me. "As long as one or two pieces are used as a springboard and a foot is provided, we can quickly climb into the drainage hole."
"Also."
Several people chose some relatively flat stones and threw them hard. The silt was unexpectedly thick, and there was no black mud splashing. Seeing that it was almost thrown, Chongyang took the lead in jumping over the standing water and falling steadily. On top of a rock, followed by a few more light jumps, grabbed the edge of the drain, supported with both arms, and jumped onto the drain.
I also learned everything, but my movements were far more clumsy than Chongyang. After jumping on the stepping stone, I had a stable figure with twists and turns. At any rate, it was shocking and not dangerous. In the end, Chongyang pulled me and crawled into the drain. Gu Tang also quickly jumped over.
"This sewer is really smelly..." I said, clutching my nose.
Gu Tang tore off three pieces of cloth from his body, took out the last water from his backpack to get wet, and handed it to me and Chongyang, "Hold it, the air in the drain may be poisonous." (End of this chapter)
