Chapter 34 Are you going to pickle me into a dried corpse?
On the weekend, after the deliveryman drove away in his small trolley, Hu Xiaoyu casually carried the large box in front of him back into his home.
In the living room, Gu Xixia, dressed in black yoga pants and a silver vest, was doing yoga in a duck pose, leaning back and looking towards the door.
Her beautiful figure, with its undulating curves, looked like a work of art meticulously sculpted by God.
The heavy weight at the end of her slender waist made the vest feel a little uncomfortable.
"Gastric lavage equipment?"
"Otherwise, since it's so heavy, why don't you just give me a portable version?"
Gu Xixia rolled her eyes upon hearing this.
"Where did this portable version come from? The portable version is right there on you!"
Bo Liu walked over to Hu Xiaoyu and looked at the gastric lavage equipment that he was disassembling.
They took their phones, found the saved operation video, and after fiddling with it for an hour, they finally placed it in the bathroom.
Fortunately, the bathroom is large, so it doesn't feel cramped with this thing on it.
Following the instructions in the video, Gu Xixia obtained the dental pad and the feeding tube, and looked down at Hu Xiaoyu, who was squatting on the ground, with some eagerness.
Hu Xiaoyu frowned as he watched the video demonstrating the operation of the gastric lavage equipment, somewhat suspicious.
"Can this thing really suck out everything from the stomach?"
"Why don't you give it a try and see?"
Looking at Gu Xixia, whose eyes were filled with excitement and who was looking down at him, Hu Xiaoyu blinked and pondered for a moment.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
She went to the refrigerator, found the leftovers, and was just about to heat them up when she heard Gu Xixia speak up in confusion.
"What are you going to do?"
"It's about simulating a real-life situation. When you go out to eat, if everyone's being nice, they'll serve cold dishes. How can you simulate a real situation if they don't heat them up?"
"Too..."
As the aroma of food wafted out, Hu Xiaoyu pursed her lips, picked up her chopsticks, and stuffed the leftovers into her mouth.
"That's about enough..."
Seeing Hu Xiaoyu's furrowed brows, Gu Xixia felt a pang of sympathy and offered him words of comfort.
Hu Xiaoyu only went to the bathroom after finishing all the leftovers.
As instructed, Hu Xiaoyu lay down on the ground, signaling Gu Xixia to proceed.
Since it was her first time, she was still a bit clumsy, and Gu Xixia's movements as she inserted the feeding tube were quite stiff.
"If it hurts, I'll pull it out."
Hu Xiaoyu glanced at Gu Xixia, who was squatting down next to him and working on her yoga pants, and patted her plump, round thighs to signal her to continue.
Once the gastric tube was fully inserted, Gu Xixia started the equipment.
Amidst the buzzing sound, Hu Xiaoyu thought this thing would easily complete the stomach lavage procedure.
To his surprise, it actually got stuck...
Gu Xixia hurriedly began to remove the feeding tube, while Hu Xiaoyu sat up from the ground and went to the toilet to induce vomiting using ancient methods.
"vomit!"
After vomiting the remaining food in his stomach, Hu Xiaoyu had just pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth when he saw Gu Xixia frown and pick up the phone from the washing machine to make a call.
Unsurprisingly, she's planning to hold people accountable.
Hu Xiaoyu snatched her phone and spoke irritably.
"What's the rush? We've only just gotten to the point of the test."
Gu Xixia frowned and pursed her lips.
"This is just the first test. What if it gets stuck again when you use it later? Wouldn't you have suffered for nothing when the feeding tube was inserted?"
Hearing the girl's concern in her words, Hu Xiaoyu patted her arm to signal her to calm down.
After stroking his chin and pondering for a moment, Hu Xiaoyu glanced at the cardholder's situation.
After thinking about the food scraps he had just vomited, he came to a conclusion after a moment.
"It shouldn't be a problem with the equipment."
"Um?"
"Normal people chew when they eat, but I didn't do that at all just now. The food was too big, so it's normal that I couldn't suck it out."
"After all, I felt a bit choked up when I vomited just now..."
Gu Xixia blinked blankly.
"Then, why don't you try chewing it this time?"
Hu Xiaoyu nodded, then found the bread he had bought for Gu Xixia, tore off a piece, chewed it, and swallowed it.
However, after lying on the ground again, Gu Xixia cleaned the feeding tube and inserted it back into his throat.
This time it went smoothly, and the food scraps were sucked out with the water.
Standing up, Hu Xiaoyu checked his stomach and raised an eyebrow.
"The effect is good."
"?"
"I barely felt any food residue in my stomach. In short, I didn't have that feeling of wanting to vomit again even though I hadn't vomited everything up."
Gu Xixia looked down at the gastric lavage equipment, then turned to Hu Xiaoyu and spoke.
"Then stay?"
"You can stay."
After putting the machine away and covering it with a waterproof cloth, the two went to the living room and sat down.
"I saw in the video that you need to use saline solution. Can I make some for you at home later?"
"What a load of rubbish! The purpose of saline solution is to replenish fluids and sodium ions and correct electrolyte imbalances."
"I'm a zombie. Saline solution has almost no effect on me. In fact, it makes me feel worse. I can't tolerate much salt anyway."
"Using saline solution, do you want the salt to turn me into a dried corpse...?"
Gu Xixia turned her head away awkwardly upon hearing this.
"How would I know..."
"Now you know."
Gu Xixia nodded, then nudged Hu Xiaoyu with her right knee while sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
"Why don't you try doing it yourself?"
Hu Xiaoyu fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
After all, he hadn't seen the buttons when Gu Xixia was operating them.
"...One more time!"
When the device restarted, it got stuck again.
The two people standing in front of the equipment looked at each other, and Gu Xixia blinked and thought for a while.
"Is it possible that because you're standing, the pressure in your stomach is exceeding the suction force of the device?"
Makes sense!
As Hu Xiaoyu squatted down, the equipment started operating successfully again.
After all that, Hu Xiaoyu was exhausted and collapsed onto the sofa like a dead fish.
"I suddenly feel that the ancient method of inducing vomiting isn't so bad after all..."
Gu Xixia rolled her eyes as she sat down on a small stool in front of him and rubbed his belly.
"One minute they say it's good, the next they complain about the hassle. Should we stay or not?"
"I'll definitely keep it, since it really gets very clean..."
"Then stop nagging. I'll go out and buy a duck to make you a bowl of hot duck blood."
"There's no need for that, just take it slow."
"Then consider it as accumulating experience. Whether it's learning or using something new, it takes time."
"That's true, after all, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth."
"If you have to eat something in the future, remember to chew it thoroughly."
"Definitely! The finer the chewing, the cleaner it gets, and I can even pretend I ate a lot while I'm chewing slowly!"
"Killing two birds with one stone!"
Looking at the smug Hu Xiaoyu, Gu Xixia smiled and slapped him on the stomach.
"If you have nothing else to do, get up quickly, I have to go to class."
"Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave. I can move around on my own after lying down for a while. Get out of here, get out of here."
With a disgruntled kick to the outside of Hu Xiaoyu's left leg, Gu Xixia changed her clothes and then went to the door to elegantly put on her high heels.
"I want to eat stir-fried shredded potatoes tonight."
"Okay, okay..."
"Remember to buy me a box of durian cheese."
"That thing smells like...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Xiaoyu shut his mouth after seeing Gu Xixia's cold glance.
