134 Bitten by a Leech
When Gu Qingming and the others returned and learned that Grandpa Gu had actually been bitten by a leech, they were immediately shocked.
Grandma Gu, in particular, turned pale.
Others might not know, but she had been with her grandfather for almost her entire life, so how could she not know? This man was all-powerful in the business world and had boundless glory, but in private, he was a coward who was afraid of these little bugs and soft things.
“Old man, are you alright?” Grandma Gu asked with concern.
At this moment, Grandpa Gu’s face was a little pale and he felt a little embarrassed.
He, who was dozens of years old, was actually afraid of a little creepy crawler.
Grandpa Gu waved his hand and said, “Old lady, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry!”
He had embarrassed himself in front of his family today.
Grandpa Gu sat on the chair with one of his pants rolled up. Although he was old, he had taken good care of himself. His skin was still very tender and fair, unlike Grandpa Shi’s. His skin was dark and wrinkled.
There was a red dot on the skin with a hint of black. It was blood that had coagulated on the wound.
Gu Qingming asked curiously, “Grandpa, how did you get bitten by leeches?”
Grandpa smiled and said, “Mingming, your grandfather went to the fields to plant seedlings today.”
“Ha, old man, you went to plant seedlings in the fields?” Grandma Gu was a little surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “Old man, do you know how to plant seedlings?”
Grandpa Gu straightened his neck and said with a red face, “Yes, why not? If you don’t believe me, ask your in-laws.”
Grandpa Gu had already disgraces himself in front of his in-laws, he could not afford to embarrassed himself any further.
Grandpa Shi smiled and said, “In-law, don’t look down on your in-laws. After learning for a while, he’s become a good at it.”
Wasn’t this telling Grandma Gu that Grandpa Gu didn’t know how to do it at all in the beginning?
“These leeches attacked while we were planting the seedlings.” Grandpa Shi was amused at the thought of his in-law’s old face, which had been so frightened that he had almost fainted.
However, in order not to embarrass his in-law, he held back his laughter.
At that time, Grandpa Gu had learned how to plant seedlings for a while. Then, he slowly planted a piece that was about three to four meters long. He felt a little itchy on his calf.
He looked down and saw that it was stained with something black. When he slapped it with his hand, he realized it was cold and soft, like a soft-bodied animal.
He was shocked and immediately shouted, “In-law, in-law, come and take a look at what’s on my leg.”
Grandpa Shi walked over to take a look and smiled. When he saw his in-law making a fuss, he said, “This is a leech!”
“Leech… leech?!” Grandpa Gu’s face turned pale. He tried to get rid of the leech with his hands, but the leech was sucking his skin so tightly that he couldn’t get it off.
“This… Why can’t I get it off?” Grandpa Gu stammered.
Grandpa’s expression was a little serious as he said, “It’s indeed very difficult to tear it off with your hands.”
With that, he took two seedlings and scraped them horizontally on Grandpa Gu’s legs. The leech fell off.
However, the wound was exposed and blood flowed out.
Grandpa Shi said, “In-law, it looks like you can’t continue planting seedlings. Let’s go home and disinfect your wound with disinfectant. Don’t be like Mingming, who becomes red and swollen after being bitten by an ant.”
Eldest Uncle immediately nodded in agreement. “That’s right, that’s right. Dad, quickly bring your in-laws home.”
With these two old men here, everyone was a little on edge, afraid that they would accidentally fall.
Although the field was soft, the old man’s bones were fragile. What if he accidentally fell and broke his bones?
The in-law was bitten by leeches, so they naturally could not continue planting seedlings. They could only bring the in-laws home.
He found disinfectant and smeared it on his wound.
Grandpa Shi comforted him, “In-law, don’t worry. These leeches are just sucking blood. They’re not poisonous.”
Grandpa Gu said, “It’s just a little worm. I’ll definitely be at ease!”
He could not show fear in front of his in-laws.
At his words, Grandpa Shi, Grandma Shi was a little speechless.
It turned out that Ming’er was afraid of ants and insects because she had inherited the Gu family’s genes.
She knew it.
If she had inherited the genes of the Shi family, why would she be afraid of these little things?
One had to know that the little tyrant had caught these things to play with since she was young. She even dared to catch snakes.
They all jumped when they saw her coming home with a snake she caught.
Fortunately, she caught a non-poisonous water snake. Otherwise, what would she do if she was bitten?
Her family sternly warned her not to catch these dangerous things in the future.
She did not catch him again.
When Gu Qingming heard that her grandfather had gone to the ground, she asked in surprise, “Grandpa, you went to the ground to plant seedlings? Was it fun to plant seedlings?”
The Shi family was speechless.
They were all doing things according to proper procedures. To Gu Qingming, they were actually playing.
Grandpa Gu acted like a child and said happily, “It’s fun. I planted three to four meters in the morning. If it weren’t for this leech, I might have done even more.”
“Grandpa, you’re awesome!” Gu Qingming praised her grandfather generously.
The Shi Family and Grandma Gu were speechless.
One dared to praise, and the other dared to respond.
However, it did not feel strange at all. They just assumed that this was how the grandfather and grandson interacted.
Grandma Gu smiled and said, “Granddaughter, you’re the only one who dares to praise your grandfather! Look at your grandfather. Just because he went to the fields, everyone is worried. How many things were delayed? How is this helping? It’s obviously not helping. In-law, I’ve caused trouble for you!”
��Hehe, in-law, you’re too polite. In-law was helping!” Grandpa Shi said with a smile.
Whether it was helping or not, he could not let his in-law lose any more dignity.
At this moment, Eldest Aunt asked with concern, “Mingming, how’s the prenatal checkup?”
Gu Qingming said, ” It’s very good. The progesterone and human chorionic gonadal hormones in the body are all at normal values!”
“Okay, that’s good!” Eldest Aunt nodded.
“The doctor said that the next checkup will be at the end of three months,” Grandma Gu said. “The fetus is very healthy, but you have to pay attention to the important things! Women can’t be careless when they’re pregnant. If something happens, it’s useless to regret it.”
“Yes, I understand!” Gu Qingming replied.
After lunch, the family went to rest and enjoy the shade. Eldest Aunt and the others, who did not have the habit of taking naps, found something to do at home.
However, everyone had to rest, so they definitely wouldn’t look for things that would make a lot of noise.
At this moment, Gu Qingming returned to her room, locked the door, and entered the space.
She was in such a hurry to enter the space because she had encountered something in the county.
