My 1995 Small Farm.

Zhao Dahai covered his mouth and nose and leaned forward, blinking as he asked, "Should we replace it already? I don't see that coming. These maggots seem to be growing quite fast. Logically, the bigger they grow, the faster they should be eating the rotten flesh, right?"

"It's not what you think. These maggots seem to grow fast, but that's just how their bodies are structured. Once they start feeding quickly, their bodies will stretch and become plump, making them look very fat."

Of course, they do grow quickly, but it takes at least half a day.

Chen Ling made comparative observations both in the cave and in the outside world.

Inside the cave, they grow very quickly, but outside, it takes more than two hours for them to noticeably grow larger and thicker.

Zhao Dahai seemed to understand but not quite: "Oh, is that so?"

The lynx couldn't resist taking matters into its own hands and used bamboo tweezers to pinch off the maggots that were wriggling slower and growing thicker from the wound, one by one.

Just throw it into the metal trash can next to it.

Then, from the wooden box next to Chen Ling, they took out fresh maggots and put them back on the wound.

"This monkey's wound is really quite serious. It was just a hair's breadth away from affecting the bone."

Lynx frowned: "I've heard that infected wounds can affect the bones, causing them to turn black. Then, the person will develop a high fever and die from the burns."

"I really don't know about that. I only know that Guan Yu's bone-scraping treatment seems to be related to this, because it affected the bone."

Chen Ling shook his head, his gaze returning to the wound on the mother monkey's chest.

These wounds weren't originally this deep.

It was just that its skin was torn and bleeding from the claws of some unknown wild beast.

The skin of the pork is turned up.

There is no problem with this timely treatment.

Unfortunately, animals don't have those conditions in the mountains.

In addition, the wound has become severely aggravated due to the prolonged delay.

The wound became infected, festering and spreading.

After the maggots that Chen Ling had just released crawled up, they directly created several long, groove-like holes in the wounds.

This is where the claw marks were, and the wound became infected and worsened, leading to this.

After the maggots had eaten away at it, all that was left were deep wounds.

However, the wound has not been completely cleaned.

After the rotten and suppurating areas of the skin were cleaned up.

Below, there was still pus and blood, as well as some tender flesh that had just been infected and was only slightly rotten.

If these growths were to occur on a person, surgery would involve cutting them off with a scalpel, leaving deep, irregular wounds.

And now...

If you use maggots to cleanse a monkey.

It's much simpler and more convenient now.

The lynxes released more than twenty of them at once, lining them up in a row over the mother monkey's wound.

"Wow, I can see the difference. These maggots that were just put on are quite small, but they're gnawing away so fast."

"Yes, they are currently in a state of hunger, so they are very active, have a good appetite, and eat very quickly."

"Wow, it looked disgusting before, but it's so satisfying now. Shine your flashlight carefully here, see? All the pus, blood, and rotten flesh inside the wound have been cleaned up..."

That's awesome!

These maggots even eat pus and blood from festering sores; that's incredible!

If this becomes widespread in the future, will we no longer need surgery?

"Dahai, you're always thinking the best. Didn't you hear what Fugui said? This stuff is incredibly expensive. It's even more expensive in America. The price of just one maggot can be terrifying..."

"Then I won't use theirs, there's still Fugui here... Pshaw, I seem to be cursing myself to get hurt... But this thing looks so cool, I really want to try it out."

indeed.

Watching the maggots crawl around cleaning the rotting flesh of the wound.

It really gives you a kind of perverse sense of pleasure.

The tiny bits of rotten flesh, the surface pus, and the shallow oozing pus and blood were all swept away by the twenty-odd maggots. The wound on the mother monkey's chest finally revealed fresh, healthy, and rosy flesh.

This means that the necrotic parts of the wound have been cleaned up.

"This batch of maggots doesn't seem to be as well-fed as the last batch, does it? They're a bit thin... Should we continue putting them in the wounds on their backs and necks?"

"No need, just throw it away."

"I thought Lynx said this thing was pretty expensive."

"It's okay, it's my own pet, so it's not expensive. Anyway, it's still in the experimental stage, so you can use it without worry."

Chen Ling waved his hand.

Medical maggots are used in this way.

Throw away after use.

Where can you reuse it?

No matter how frugal you are, it won't work; it's simply not the right approach.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it this time, let me do it."

Zhao Dahai no longer found the mother monkey's wound smelly or the maggots disgusting.

He snatched the bamboo tweezers from the lynx's hand and began picking up maggots one by one, placing them on the wound on the mother monkey's neck.

The wound on the mother monkey's neck was a real bloody hole; she must have almost had her throat bitten off.

But the monkeys rescued him in time, saving his life.

Unfortunately, it left deep teeth marks and was severely infected and decayed.

If it weren't for the maggot treatment, cutting open this spot to remove the rotten flesh might have really killed the monkey.

"Wow, this is fun."

Zhao Dahai acted as if he had found a new toy.

I stared wide-eyed as the maggots slithered in and out of the rotting, bloody wounds, cleaning away the rotten flesh.

"It looks interesting. Let's try it out later."

“Fugui, let the two of us put the worms out of the wound on the monkey’s back.”

Zhao Yubao and Professor Zhong, two old men, emerged from the group of monkeys.

He then asked, "Would the Vietnamese people like to give it a try?"

Liang Yuemin also poked his head out, but kept shaking his head: "I'll pass, I can't do it."

The two old men had suffered in their younger days; carrying and collecting manure was a common occurrence for them.

But in recent years they have lived a life of luxury.

So the stench earlier made the two old men stay far away.

Liang Yuemin is different. He's an artsy type and a clean freak. He's fine with helping with physical labor, but as for these bugs, especially maggots, he'd rather not bother.

His father, Qin Rongxian, was also there. The two of them hid outside and watched Chen Ling and the others put maggots on the wound with flashlights.

Hearing Chen Ling and the others talking and exclaiming, he learned that the maggots had cleaned the monkey's wounds thoroughly.

This can be considered as satisfying the father and son's not-too-severe germaphobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and in a way, it can be considered as indulging their inner desires.

So after the maggots cleaned the wounds on the mother monkey's body.

They breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in satisfaction.

"We still have to be rich and powerful! So many ingenious ideas, and the key is that they can actually be made and brought to fruition. That's amazing!"

"Dad, are you talking about something like this for the first time? Is this the first time you've met Fugui?"

Indeed, this maggot therapy is very effective.

After the wound was cleaned, the mother monkey must have felt much better. With the addition of fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medication, the monkey regained some energy and her body was no longer burning hot.

"Is this good?"

"Not yet. Just like a person, he still needs to rest and recuperate. But he's out of danger now, and we don't have to worry about dying from an infected wound anymore."

Chen Ling shook his head slightly, then reached out and patted the head of the male monkey beside him, whose face was full of seriousness and curiosity: "You're quite well-behaved. I told you not to move around, and you really didn't move at all... Alright, you can move now. I'll put some medicine on your wife. You two can stay upstairs tonight." (End of Chapter)
