Chapter 241 Yu Sihan Was Here (1/2)
Wei Meng picked Xu Shiguang up at the gate of the hospital.
”Why is the vermin in Yaya's body?”
Just when the old man got off the bus, Wei Meng dragged him to the ward while asking him questions. Xu Shiguang happened to call her when she just found out the result. As soon as she learned that it was because of the vermin, she had him come to the hospital.
”It is just as I expected that the vermin is in the body of the child.” When Xu Shiguang stumbled to the ward with Wei Meng, he was nearly out of breath.
In the ward, Shen Xinglan held Yaya, whose fever had dropped, while A Miao was lying in the hospital bed.
”Is there also something wrong with the adult?” Xu Shiguang asked in surprise.
Le Yi poured him a glass of water. ”A Miao could not accept the news and passed out.”
”Old Xu...” Though he had a somber face, Shen Xinglan spoke in a polite tone.
Knowing that the old man had been studying vermin, his attitude was much more modest.
”I know what is going on!” Before Shen Xinglan could finish his words, Xu Shiguang took a book out of his bag. The book was very thin, and it looked pretty much the same as a dirty pirated one.
Xu Shiguang always felt that the vermin looked familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it. He found the book a few days ago when his toilet broke. So he asked someone to repair it and the repairman found it in the crack of the wall behind the toilet.
”This is a book about the introduction of vermin. I brought it in a night market in Yunnan Province more than 30 years ago.” He quickly flipped to the middle page of a book. ”Look, is this vermin the same as the one in the body of A Miao?”
Immediately after Shen Xinglan put Yaya in the cradle, the little baby fell into a drowsy sleep again because it had just recovered from illness.
”Give it to me,” Shen Xinglan said.
Wei Meng had just gotten the book. Hearing his words, she curled her lips and handed it to him. She dared not provoke Shen Xinglan now because he might transfer his anger to her...
”They are the same type of vermin,” Le Yi said with certainty after casting a glance at the book.
The quality of the book was very poor, and the printed page looked blurred. But the vermin in the book had all the apparent features of the one in A Miao's body. They were of the same kind.
”Look at what the book says after the picture.” Xu Shiguang pointed at the vague word below. ”This kind of vermin is very rare, and it is called the subordinate vermin of the Mother-child Vermin.”
The so-called ”vermin in a vermin” was like human twins. There were two child vermin. One of them hid in the body of another in the form of an egg. Once the child vermin on the outside encountered danger, it would automatically eject the egg into the human body.
”That is to say, when the chief forced the vermin outside of A Miao's body, the vermin hid inside automatically, left in her body in the form of an egg.” Wei Meng looked at Yaya, who had fallen asleep.
Le Yi went on to say, ”However, A Miao was pregnant at that time, so the vermin egg entered Yaya's body by coincidence.”
”It will take some time for the vermin egg to hatch.” Xu Shiguang stared at Yaya as if she were a piece of gold. ”I heard that this child had a fever, it must be the rejection reaction caused by the vermin egg when it is hatching.”
It looked like the face of Shen Xinglan had frosted over, and his eyes slid across everyone's face like two blades.
”You should calm down a little...” Le Yi pinned him down.
A disgusting thing like the vermin had gotten into the baby's body before the baby was born. Anyone who knew that fact could not stay calm, let alone that the vermin had already hatched and was now living in Yaya's body.
”But the vermin itself will not harm people,” Xu Shiguang said quickly.
”How about the mother vermin?” Shen Xinglan asked coldly, ”Can anyone who has the mother vermin control the child vermin?”
Xu Shiguang pointed at the ambiguous words next. ”This is the strange part. The mother vermin and the child vermin cannot control each other.”
”They can't?” Le Yi's gaze sharpened. ”Does it mean that the person who has planted the vermin cannot control Yaya?”
”Yes,” Xu Shiguang answered, his old face puckered. ”This is also what I have always been puzzled about. Since they cannot control each other, what is the point of this Mother-child Vermin?”
Shen Xinglan loosened his clenched fists. ”At least they cannot hurt Yaya. Nor can they threaten us with Yaya.”
”Yaya will not get hurt, will she?” There came a whispered question from behind Shen Xinglan.
As soon as Shen Xinglan turned back, he saw A Miao looking at him sadly. Suddenly, he felt very sad as if his heart was broken, and he quickly held her in his arms.
”No. You must have heard just now that this kind of vermin cannot control each other.”
A Miao did hear this, which was why she could face the fact so calmly.
”Then why did he plant the vermin? It makes no sense.” A Miao stared firmly at Xu Shiguang. ”Old Xu, are you sure? Are you sure that the vermin will not be a threat to Yaya?”
Xu Shiguang felt that he was under enormous pressure. But he had no choice but to answer, ”According to the book, it will not.”
”But Yaya had a fever.” A Miao wanted to get a guarantee.
Le Yi helped the old man out in time. ”A Miao, we have talked about that. It might be the rejection reaction caused by hatching. After all, Yaya is so young. Now her fever is gone, and she is fine.”
”But...” Xu Shiguang said weakly, ”according to my research results, if the vermin lives in her small body at such a young age, the baby may have a relatively poor constitution...”
Seeing that A Miao was about to cry, Le Yi immediately added, ”It's not that bad. We can strengthen her constitution later. She will be fine if we provide Yaya with more nutrition.”
”My poor baby!” A Miao failed to restrain herself and burst out crying.
Shen Xinglan was going to say something, and he found that A Miao suddenly stopped crying. With the cold look that she had never had, she said, ”I want to meet Yu Sihan.”
”Okay.”
If he could, Shen Xinglan wanted to blow Yu Sihan's island up. But he could not because no one knew if the child vermin was still alive and if it would affect Yaya if the mother vermin were dead...
But when he planned to go to the island in person, Yu Sihan appeared unexpectedly.
That morning, A Miao was watching Yaya learning to sit. The little gal didn't want to always lean against the sofa so she tried to sit straight by herself. However, she would always fall head first.
