C11 Leech
Lin Tian's expression eased up a little as he waited for his father to take the leech off his body.
He could feel that these leeches were still sucking his blood. This feeling was very uncomfortable.
Lin Guoming squatted down and comforted him with a relaxed smile. "It's fine. I've been bitten by leeches a few times in the past. It's very easy to get rid of them."
After saying that, he found a spot around the leeches and began to beat Lin Tian's calf rhythmically.
"Pa, pa, pa..."
Everyone gathered around to look with anticipation.
However, after almost a minute, no matter how hard Lin Guoming slapped it, the leech on Lin Tian's leg still did not move.
Wang Cuijuan looked at Lin Tian's pale face and said with a pained heart, "His father, this method is useless! Do we have to change it?"
Lin Guoming's initially relaxed expression now had a trace of seriousness.
"If you can't get rid of it, you have to smoke it with fire."
Wang Cuijuan shook her head and said, "No one in our family smokes or has a lighter. Where can we find a fire at this time?"
Bai Ling suddenly said.
"When I walked over from my house in the morning, I saw your uncle working in the fields. I saw him smoking. He must have one. I'll go borrow it from him."
Before she finished her words, she had already run off to find someone.
Lin Tian stared at the leeches on his legs and noticed that they had grown a lot in size. They looked fat and bright, like inflatable balloons.
While Bai Ling went to find the fire, Lin Guoming continued to slap Lin Tian. Even Wang Cuijuan came to help.
However, even though Lin Tian was in pain, the leeches did not fall off.
Lin Guoming was very depressed. He muttered in a low voice.
"I was bitten by leeches in the past, and they fell off after a few slaps. Why are these leeches so difficult to deal with?"
Not long after, Bai Ling ran back, followed by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man wore a straw hat on his head. His skin was dark and his body was thin, as if his entire body was made of bones.
"Sister Bai Ling is here!"
Lin Xiaoguo's eyes were sharp, and she shouted as soon as she saw him.
He saw Bai Ling walking in front in a hurry, turning her head from time to time to urge Lin Gui, who was behind her.
"Uncle Gui, walk faster. Lin Tian has lost too much blood and is about to faint."
Lin Gui said slowly, "There's no hurry. A leech biting is a small matter. I'll use smoke and it'll be fine. Don't worry."
Although he said that, he couldn't bear Bai Ling's urging him. He quickened his pace and arrived beside Lin Tian and the others.
Lin Gui exchanged glances with Lin Guoming and Wang Cuijuan before being pulled by Bai Ling to see the leeches on Lin Tian's body.
When he saw it, Lin Gui's eyes suddenly widened. He took off the straw hat on his head and flipped it over his back.
"Tsk tsk, it's too big! I've never seen such a big leech in my life. No wonder it's useless to pat it. I still have to smoke it."
Lin Guoming saw that Lin Gui's focus was on the leeches and said with a bitter smile, "Ah Gui, where's your fire? The child has been sucked dry for a long time. We have to get it down quickly."
Lin Tian could no longer stand steadily.
Lin Gui did not say anything else and quickly took out his cigarette and lighter from his bag.
He lit two cigarettes and put them close to the leech, smoking them.
"Don't worry, I smoke a lot. I'll get rid of it very quickly. It's very useful."
Seeing that he was full of confidence, everyone calmed down.
However, after a few seconds, the leeches still didn't move.
An awkward expression appeared on Lin Gui's face.
"Heh, the leeches have become sentient. I used to get rid of them as soon as I smelled them."
Originally, being bitten by a leech was a small matter, but at this moment, everyone became nervous.
They had never seen such a strange thing. If they couldn't get rid of the leech, could it be like what Lin Gui said, that the leech had become a demon?
Lin Tian's mind was racing. He thought of the big fish he had just caught in the swamp. It was now a leech with a strong suction force. It was very likely to have something to do with the peanut leaves he was still in the swamp.
The peanuts were irrigated by Spirit Energy, and the leeches absorbed things near the peanut leaves, changing and becoming stronger.
Since he had absorbed the Spirit Energy, the leeches wouldn't treat his blood as delicious, right?
Thinking of this, the worry in Lin Tian's heart became even more intense.
It wouldn't be so easy to get rid of these vampires.
Lin Gui burned one cigarette after another until he finished smoking his pack of cigarettes, but the leeches still did not move. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
He muttered to himself, "The smoke can't be removed. This is the first time I've seen such a strange thing. Did you bring salt, vinegar, wine, and so on?"
Wang Cuijuan thought for a moment and hurriedly said, "Those things are only available at home. Is it okay if I use them to wipe away my dizziness?"
Lin Gui nodded and said, "Sure."
Wang Cuijuan quickly took out the essential balm and let Lin Gui drip it on the leech's body.
Everyone held their breaths and found that the leech had fallen to the ground. It was still squirming on the ground, looking extremely energetic.
It was only when Lin Gui got rid of the leeches on Lin Tian's body that everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Tian's face was already as white as paper as he sat on the ground to rest.
These powerful leeches seemed to be sucking him dry. It was too terrifying.
Lin Gui broke a stick from the grass beside him and picked up the round leeches on the ground with a surprised expression.
"This is really strange. I've never seen such a big leech before. It's sucking blood until it's about to explode, but it still hasn't opened its mouth."
Lin Guoming said from the side, "Yes, I've never seen such a big leech before. I'm going to take it to dry. If I save up enough, I'll take it to the pharmacy and sell it. I feel like I can sell it for a few bucks."
Lin Gui shook his head and declined to comment.
"It's not just that little money. I've bought it before. Leech dry costs at least two hundred yuan per catty, and the purchase price might be a hundred yuan per catty."
"That much?"
Lin Guoming was surprised.
At this moment, Lin Gui stood up with a look of hesitation.
"Guoming, I have something to discuss with you."
"Speak."
Lin Gui took a deep breath, rubbed his hands, and said: "How about this, I'll buy these leeches from you, so that you won't have to go to the pharmacy to sell them. You don't have a lot of them, and the price they will give you won't be that high."
Lin Guoming was stunned for a moment, then he understood. He coughed.
"Ah Gui, you are too polite. If it wasn't for your help just now, Tian wouldn't have been able to get the leeches off his body, causing you to lose your entire pack of cigarettes. How about this, don't say anymore. These leeches are all for you. "
Lin Gui smiled embarrassedly.
" Guoming, how can I accept that? If you sell them, you can still earn money. "
Lin Guoming waved his hand and said as if nothing had happened, "I was just joking. I don't know how to post it, and I don't have the time. Since you need it, take it. We are so familiar with each other. Don't push it around. Hurry up and take it away. "
A trace of gratitude flashed across Lin Gui's face.
" Then I won't be polite. I'll take it away. "
Lin Guoming smiled lightly.
"Don't be polite with me."
Lin Gui nodded and picked a few leaves from the bushes. He wrapped up all the leeches on the ground, waved his hand at them, and left.
