Stomachache In the Middle of the Night

Song Yang was shocked. “Xiuyan, do you mean that those people don’t just want to attack me, but also want to harm our family?” If it was just him, he wouldn’t be so worried. After he was prepared, with his martial arts skills, it shouldn’t be so easy to be at a disadvantage, but if they wanted to harm his entire family, that would be a little scary. His younger brothers and sisters were still so young..

Song Xiuyan’s expression wasn’t too good either. He said to Song Yang, “First, describe the man’s appearance to me. I’ll draw a portrait of him.”

Song Xiuyan and Song Yang spent more than an hour before they finished drawing the portrait. Song Yang was uneasy. “Xiuyan, are you going to take the portrait to the police?”

Song Xiuyan shook his head. “It’s useless to call the police. Without real evidence, the police won’t accept this case. Even if they did, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. They won’t be able to find him.” He paused, then continued, “Don’t tell our younger siblings about this first. They’re young, so they will be scared. You don’t have to worry too much for the time being. Those people didn’t openly harm us. They just caused an accident behind our backs, which means that they have some misgivings. In the future, you have to be extra careful when you do things. You have to be extra vigilant against those strangers who deliberately approach you. As for our younger siblings, I’ll think of a way to make them more vigilant.”

Song Yang nodded and then thought of something else. “Xiuyan, you mean that my sister-in-law knows that someone is trying to harm us?”

Song Xiuyan nodded and reminded Song Yang, “I dreamt that you were bitten by a poisonous snake. Don’t tell anyone about it yet.” Ding Yao was very smart. If she suspected something after hearing it, it would be hard for him to explain. He didn’t want anyone to know about his rebirth for the time being.

Song Yang nodded and agreed. Then, he asked suspiciously, “Xiuyan, did you already know that someone wanted to harm us? Or do you actually know who wanted to harm us? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have suddenly urged us to get up early to practice martial arts.”

Song Xiuyan shook his head. “I urged you to practice your martial arts because it can strengthen your body. You can also protect yourself and our family.” Practicing martial arts was a wake-up call when he was killed by someone in his previous life. If his martial arts skills had been better, he would have been able to avoid death. Perhaps he would have been able to catch the people who wanted to harm him, and he would not have been so confused.

In the middle of the night, Song Yu and Song Xue suddenly had a stomachache. Song Xue was still screaming in pain, and Song Yu was rolling around on the bed, clutching her stomach. Song Xiuyan and Song Yang were shocked. They thought that their fourth and fifth younger sisters had been poisoned. Ding Yao had been woken up and quickly went over to take a look. The results of the check amused her. Song Yu and Song Xue already had roundworms in their stomachs. Tonight, they had a full meal, and the roundworms in their stomachs also had a full meal. After eating their fill, the roundworms were a little excited. They moved around in their stomachs, and Song Yu and Song Xue were in pain.

After Ding Yao dragged Song Xiuyan over and gave him a few instructions, Song Xiuyan felt a little relieved. He followed Ding Yao’s instructions and boiled hot water. He used a handkerchief that was wet with hot water to apply it to Song Yu and Song Xue’s stomachs. This went on for quite a while. The two of them finally stopped feeling pain.

Song Xiuyan was startled and asked Song Yu with a dark look, “Do you often touch food without washing your hands after work?”

Song Yu felt wronged. “I don’t. I only eat after washing my hands!”

Song Xiuyan asked again, “Then did you dig up the root of plants in the front yard and backyard, or even near the toilet? Not only did you eat them yourself, but you also gave them to Song Xue?”

Song Yu pursed his lips and continued to quibble, “All the children in the village eat like this.” The root of Star Of The Sky was white, like a radish, and tasted very sweet. All the children in the village liked to dig it up and eat it. The leaves of the Star Of The Sky could also be eaten. They were sour and sweet. Without washing them, they would stuff them directly into their mouths. If they were slower, they would be snatched away by other children.

Song Xiuyan’s expression turned even darker. “Then did you know that because you ate it directly without washing it clean, you already had worms in your stomachs, which is why your stomachs hurt? It’s because the worms were causing trouble in your stomachs.” He told Song Yu and Song Xue what Ding Yao had just told him. He said that the worms in their stomachs were called roundworms, and the roundworms’ eggs would be excreted out of their bodies along with their feces. The roundworms’ eggs lived for a longer time, and their attachment ability was also very strong. Star Of The Sky grew in the ground, and children often defecated everywhere. There were also all kinds of dog feces, which were all absorbed by the roots of the Star Of The Sky. If they ate the roots of the Star Of The Sky that were attached to the roundworms’ eggs, the roundworms would spread from one to ten to a hundred.
