Chapter 414 The Scariest Ringworm
When Crazy Six talked about this, I couldn't help but think that since the "Monkey Eagle" can pull out hair, and it looks like human hair, it may be that the "Monkey Eagle" deliberately pulls out hair when it is pecking at human corpses. The thought of eating hair parts made me feel sick and horrified at the same time.
But what Old Man Ouyang said next was beyond my expectation. Old Man Ouyang continued to talk very immersedly:
"'Monkey Eagle' saw that I didn't understand what it meant, so it coughed a few times and spit out some mucus from its mouth. At first, I didn't pay much attention to this mucus, but 'Monkey Eagle' made two beeps. , remind me to pay attention.
I knew there must be some mystery in it, so I observed it carefully. Strangely enough, once the bits of mucus spit out by the 'Monkey Eagle' came into contact with the air, they quickly condensed and turned black. After a while, they turned black. Completely transformed into hair-like shape.
At this time, I suddenly realized that, in fact, the 'hair' pulled out by the 'Monkey Eagle' is actually not hair eaten from the outside, but mucus produced in its own body. When it encounters the air, it condenses into hair-like shape. of filaments.
In fact, this is very similar to silkworm silk and spider silk. In fact, the silk spun out by silkworms and spiders is originally a liquid, but when it encounters air, the liquid condenses into silk shape.
I also deliberately picked up a hair-like thing and pulled it with my hands. What shocked me was that, in terms of texture and color, this filament was almost exactly the same as hair. It's so fake that it looks like the real thing.
Having been with the 'Monkey Eagle' for so long, this is the first time I have seen the ability of the 'Monkey Eagle' to 'produce hair', but what is even more amazing is that the red flies, when I see the 'Monkey Eagle' pull After this kind of thing comes out, it immediately flies to it and never leaves it again. No matter how hard it is driven away, it cannot be driven away. Unless the 'monkey hawk' makes the sound just now, the red fly will fly away temporarily. Why is this kind of thing like this? I still can’t figure out why hair-like things are so attractive to red flies.”
It's really amazing. I didn't expect that this "monkey hawk" can "spin" silk just like silkworms and spiders, and it also produces "silk" that looks like hair.
After hearing what Old Man Ouyang said, Madman Six seemed to have some enlightenment. He muttered to himself: "Well, I understand."
"What do you understand? Do you know anything about these strange phenomena?"
After listening to Sister Li's words, Madman Liu smiled slightly, nodded confidently and said: "Well, actually, Mr. Ouyang said that kind of hair, although it is different in color and texture from the hair on the red fox, but Essentially, the two types of hair are the same,"
What, these two types of hair are essentially the same.
After hearing what Crazy Six said, we were all shocked, because we all knew what it meant. If the hairy thing pulled out by the "Monkey Eagle" is essentially the same as the red hair of the fox, then it would be This means that the hairy thing is actually not hair at all, but also a kind of bug.
When Old Man Ouyang heard what Crazy Six said, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and could not speak for a long time.
Crazy Six continued to explain: "Yes, the thing pulled out by the 'Monkey Eagle' is actually not an ordinary 'silk', but a living insect with meridians called a 'hairworm'. This kind of 'hair' How did the insect form? Speaking of which, it is still related to the "amphibian man". We all know that the "monkey hawk" will eat the cubs of the "amphibian man" every once in a while, and every month You will still poop like that, which is caused by the special meridians and constitution of the 'Monkey Eagle'.
In ancient human legends, there are often scenes of corpses turning into insects. The reason why there are such legends is that in the early days of mankind, different types of people lived. Some types of people had strange constitutions. There were things in their intestines. Very large parasites. These parasites are very important for their survival. They can help them decompose the food they eat. Without these parasites, they would not be able to live because they cannot absorb many nutrients. And this special type of people die after death. , the parasites in the body will crawl out, which is also the origin of the legend of "corpse turning into insects".
Based on the characteristics of the meridians of the amphibian, I think there is a special kind of parasitic insect in the amphibian's body, and the 'monkey eagle' feeds on the cubs of the amphibian. In this way, the parasites in the amphibian's body are also It will enter the body of the 'Monkey Eagle', and the things it spits out, which look thin, are actually the larvae of parasites. Once they arrive outside the body, their appearance will change rapidly and become similar to hair. In fact, The same principle applies to the 'hair' of those red foxes,"
Old Man Ouyang nodded repeatedly while listening. What Crazy Six said does make sense. If this is the reason, red flies like to bite both red foxes and the "hairs" pulled out by "monkey hawks", which would be good. The explanation is that although these two kinds of "hair" are different in color, they are essentially the same, and they are a bug that looks very much like hair.
Since Lao Lu's hair can also attract red flies, can it also be determined that Lao Lu's hair is also a kind of "hairworm"?
Is this really the case?
Madman Six did not immediately agree with our conclusion, but after pondering for a while, he slowly said: "Actually, there is another possibility, that is, there is something hidden in Lao Lu's hair, and those Things can attract red flies,"
In addition to this kind of 'hairworm', what else can attract red flies?
Madman Six did not continue to explain, but whispered a few words to Old Man Ouyang. As for what was said, we did not hear what was said. We only saw Old Man Ouyang frowning, and then nodding his head as if he had made up his mind. At this time, Crazy Liucai said to the "Monkey Eagle" in the bag: "Old man, I need to give you acupuncture. The main reason is to verify a conjecture. It won't hurt or hurt. But if you don't want to, we will I had to think of another way,"
After hearing what Crazy Six said, "Monkey Eagle" didn't answer immediately. He seemed to think for a moment, and then he barked a few times in the bag.
Because Crazy Six couldn't understand it at all, he immediately turned his attention to Old Man Ouyang, and Old Man Ouyang nodded and said, "Monkey Eagle agrees to your request."
This moved Crazy Six very much. He said to "Monkey Eagle" in a low voice, but sincerely: "Thank you, old man."
We found a secluded corner on the far right side of the square, and then poured the "Monkey Eagle" out of the bag. Crazy Six took out a silver needle, looked at it for a while, and then gently stabbed the "Monkey Eagle" into the abdomen. of the acupuncture points, and gently twist the silver needle with your fingers.
After a while, a ball of light red feces suddenly came out from the anus of the "Monkey Eagle". This feces was not smelly, but had a faint fishy smell.
At this time, we suddenly realized that this was the poop that the "Monkey Eagle" only pooped once a month. This kind of poop was very strange. Except for the "Monkey Eagle", no bird could poop this kind of completely solid poop, and this kind of poop was very strange. Feces is pulled out through special excretion holes. In other words, the "Monkey Eagle" has two excretion holes, while ordinary birds only have one. This is a bit incredible.
What's even more amazing is that the solid dung of the "Monkey Eagle" is also the "raw material" for the growth of the "Monkey Face Flower".
Originally, "Monkey Eagle" didn't have time to poop like this, so Madman Six used acupuncture to force the shit out of "Monkey Eagle"'s body.
Next, something unexpected happened.
As soon as the excrement was pulled out, the two red flies immediately climbed onto the excrement and started sucking it. We couldn't drive it away even if we waved our hands. Unexpectedly, these red flies only like hair-like insects. Besides, he actually likes this kind of shit.
At this time, Crazy Six said slowly: "Do you know why red flies like to eat this kind of shit from 'Monkey Eagle'? In fact, the reason is also very simple. Among the red shit, There are those kind of 'hairworm' larvae, that's why flies like to eat them so much,"
Crazy Six's words surprised us. What, there were hair-like insect larvae in the feces of the "Monkey Eagle". No wonder the red flies would bite on the feces immediately.
At this time, Crazy Six suddenly asked us: "Do you know what the medicinal value of 'Monkey Eagle''s solid feces is?" We all shook our heads in confusion, including Hongmei, although she was a professional doctor. And proficient in Chinese and Western medicine.
What we don't understand is why Crazy Six suddenly asked this.
Seeing our blank expressions, Madman Liucai continued to explain: "Among all kinds of ringworm, the most difficult one to treat is called 'white bone ringworm'. This kind of ringworm grows on people's scalp. Once you get this kind of ringworm, In 'white bone tinea', not only the hair will fall off, but the scalp will also become keratinized and turn into layers of white scurf. This white scurf will fall off layer by layer until it falls off until the skull is exposed. At that time, People are hopeless.
This kind of white dandruff cannot be cured. After people get this kind of ringworm, they can only slowly wait to die. Some severe patients die in a horrible way. Not only do their hair fall out, but large areas of the scalp are completely keratinized and become deformed. The skin turns into white flakes and slowly falls off, finally revealing chunks of white skull, which looks extremely scary.
The only thing that can cure this kind of white bone tinea is the feces of a kind of bird. The meridians of this kind of bird are very strange. Although it is a bird, it has the characteristics of the meridians of animals. I have read this record a long time ago. , but I have never found a bird with such meridian characteristics. In the past two or three days, I carefully observed the meridian characteristics of the 'Monkey Eagle'. The meridian conditions within twelve hours need to be observed. , combined, only then can we have a comprehensive grasp of the meridians characteristics of the 'Monkey Eagle'.
After observation, I discovered that the meridians of the 'Monkey Eagle' are very similar to those of beasts, which is what the book says, 'Although it is a bird, it has the meridians of beasts'. Moreover, combined with other Factor, I can finally confirm that the kind of bird droppings that can cure 'white bone tinea' is the red shit that the 'Monkey Eagle' only poops once a month.
Why can I be sure that there are larvae of 'hairworm' in this shit? Because Mr. Ouyang just said that this kind of red fly will lie on the anus of the 'monkey hawk' and eat the parasites on the anus. In fact, it is eating the larvae of the 'hairworm'.
In fact, in the final analysis, 'hairworms' are the only food for red flies. Otherwise, if they had other food, they wouldn't just live in Lao Li's house, since 'hairworms' are their only food source. , then what it eats on the anus of the 'Monkey Eagle' can only be 'hairworm' larvae. In this way, I can successfully deduce that there are such larvae in the feces of the 'Monkey Eagle'. "
Although what Madman Six said was a bit long-winded and complicated, when you think about it carefully, it is very precise and the logical reasoning is very rigorous, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even Xiao Lei couldn't help but admire it.
