Chapter 70 Parasitic
Seeing that he really couldn't eat the crabs, Lu Miao didn't force him any more and happily swallowed all the big crabs into his stomach.

"belch--"

Lu Miao burped. Not only was her stomach full, but her mouth was also tired.

After eating and drinking, Lu Miao leaned forward on the recliner, lazily refusing to move like a snake in winter.

The June Boy Crab doesn't have much crab roe, but it does exist. Lu Miao's hands and corners of her mouth are covered with yellow-orange crab oil.

Fu Jingyou was afraid that her clothes would be stained everywhere, so he fetched her water and asked her to wash her face and hands.

She said she deserved it well, but when Fu Jingyou finished clearing the table and turned around, he was still lying there peacefully, not moving.

Fu Jingyou sighed helplessly, stood aside and hesitated for a long time, and finally went to the front room to get a towel and threw it into the basin, and then came over after getting some water.

He moved the small table to the side of the reclining chair and put a basin filled with water on the table. He moved the small stool to sit on the side of the reclining chair. He curled up his big palms and gently grabbed Lu Miao's wrist and pressed it into the water. Take a towel and wash it up.

The hot weather and the quiet wind in the room collided with each other, bringing a slight warmth when they hit people's faces.

The "rustling" swaying bamboo shadows and the essential chirping of cicadas in summer seem to have become the best lullaby after lunch.

Lu Miao huddled on the recliner and yawned sleepily. In a daze, she struggled slightly, "No rag...it's so dirty."

Fu Jingyou lowered his voice and coaxed her in a low voice: "It's not a rag, it's my towel."

Lu Miao groaned and closed her eyes, "Your towel won't work either. I...I want my own..."

The words fell intermittently, and the person was already fast asleep.

Fu Jingyou moved more and more gently, washing Lu Miao's hands and carefully wiping the corners of her mouth. He went out to pour the water.

When washing dishes and chopsticks later, I was afraid of disturbing Lu Miao, so I put everything into a basin and went to wash under the eaves outside the door.

The weather is hot and dry, and the afternoon sun is the hottest time of the day. The land by the lake has no shade that it could rely on in the morning.

Fu Jingyou thought that he might as well let Lu Miao sleep a little longer. When the sun turned around again and there was shade in the ground, he would call Lu Miao to get up.

But until the whistle sounded in the team, Lu Miao was still sleeping soundly, and Fu Jingyou couldn't bear to wake her up.

After looking silently at Lu Miao who was sleeping soundly for a while, Fu Jingyou gently took off the chain from the backyard door and placed it on the small table on the side of the lounge chair, so that Lu Miao could easily lock the door when she woke up and wanted to go out to the yard. .

After that, he put on his straw hat, picked up the sickle, cleaned up, closed the backyard door, and led the old cow tied in the shade of the bamboo forest to the field.

……

This time Lu Miao slept deeply, and slept comfortably for a long time, but when she finally woke up, she was woken up by the heat.

The sun surrounds the roof, and the coolness in the courtyard earlier has moved to the top of the roof, and a large swath of hot sunlight pours into the house from the door.

Lu Miao was sleeping at the door, with half of her body sunk in the sun and being burned. Not only was her face flushed with heat, but half of her body was covered in sweat on her forehead and back.

Lu Miao felt slightly annoyed when she woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw the environment in front of her, she still couldn't tell which was a dream and which was reality.

My body was covered in sweat again, and I felt that my body and mind were restless and overheated. I got off the lounge chair with a soft moan, squatted down in the shade of the room and saw the chain on the small table, and then I gradually came back from my thoughts.

As if she realized something, she quickly stood up and shouted: "Fu Jingyou!?" No one answered.

Lu Miao didn't have a clock or watch in her hand. She didn't know what time it was, so she stood in the kitchen and shouted twice into the front room, but got no response.

She walked to the back door of the yard, stood on the threshold and looked at the spot where the cows were tied at noon, but the cows were gone.

Fu Jingyou couldn't be found and the cow was gone. Lu Miao thought that it was probably Fu Jingyou who took the cow to the field first.

She hurriedly ran into the kitchen to get the chain. When she got to the yard, she put the chain through the door knocker and was about to hang the lock. Suddenly something occurred to her, and she pushed the door open again, and people ran in again. When I came out of the kitchen, I already had a coarse porcelain bowl in my hand.

Lu Miao locked the courtyard door, walked around Fu's house holding the bowl, and walked along the bamboo forest path toward the rice fields near the lake.

The terrain is low, and you can see it through the shadows of the trees when standing on the bamboo forest path.

Lu Miao was walking and looking around, and sure enough, he saw a little white dot wearing a straw hat bending over there and working hard. He took a closer look to the side and saw that the cow was there too.

It's not just Fu Jingyou and the big black bull in the team.

After leaving the bamboo forest path, even the wind was hot. Lu Miao hurriedly hurried. When she reached the rice fields by the lake, she was already sweating.

When we went down to the top of the mountain, the sun was so bright that it was hard to keep our eyes open. Lu Miao squinted her eyes and asked with her sweaty face:
"Why didn't you call me when you got to work? You let me fall asleep there."

"You don't need to cut the grain." Fu Jingyou bent down and concentrated on his work, and answered matter-of-factly: "The work of herding cattle is easy. I've tied it up. I'll look up and stare at it from time to time. Why do you want to follow me to dry it?"

Lu Miao puffed her lips. To be honest, she felt a little touched in her heart.

The weather was hot, so Lu Miao scooped out a bowl of water when she came out.

As soon as Fu Jingyou finished speaking, Lu Miao called him to the edge of the field in a sweet voice and handed him the bowl:

"I couldn't find a suitable jar in the kitchen, so I just used a bowl. This water is raw water..."

After saying that, he hesitated and explained: "I looked in the pot and there is no water."

Fu Jingyou felt thirsty, so he took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, he let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, just make some water."

Lu Miao frowned slightly, pursed her red lips, and said politely:

“When I’m busy and I really can’t take care of it, I just drink raw water. But when I have some spare time, I still have to boil the water and drink it.”

Fu Jingyou didn't take it seriously, "People in the countryside are not so particular. Sometimes they are really busy and don't bring water. Like the water in the lake or the puddles in the fields, they are all ready-made."

Lu Miao frowned even more and said in shock: "How can that be done!"

At this time, the environment had not been polluted, and the heavy metal content and harmful substances in the groundwater were far less than those in later generations. It was really urgent, and it was okay to drink some well water, but how could we drink the lake water?

What should I do if I drink a handful of leeches and insect eggs?
With the medical conditions at this time, there is no cure for this kind of problem.

Fu Jingyou originally wanted to say, "This is a common thing, it's nothing more than ordinary." Lu Miaoying's white face turned serious, her words reached the tip of her tongue, and when she left her mouth, she turned into another sentence:
"Okay, I'll be careful in the future. Wait until the water boils before drinking... Go find a shady place to sit."

Lu Miao took a breath and took the empty bowl from Fu Jingyou's hand. As she walked along the wooden bridge to the shady area on the other side, she explained to Fu Jingyou the potential dangers of drinking raw water in a serious manner:
"Don't take it seriously. There are a lot of invisible bacterial eggs in raw water. It may cause gastrointestinal problems, but if the bugs parasitize in the body, it will be a big problem."
