Chapter 969 Self-Sale (Four K)

"That little thing inside the human body..."

The village chief froze on the spot with his mouth open. He thought for more than ten seconds before reacting, "You mean..."

Li Ang smiled and said: "If I am not wrong, the ancestors of your village should have been more savage and cruel when they were in the original ghoul form, right?"

"Well..."

The village chief nodded hesitantly, "A long time ago, we should have been just like the ghouls in the outside world. We were pure beasts. We would disembowel animals and eat them from internal organs to limbs until they were all eaten.

Not long after being enlightened by the Holy Mountain, we became much more civilized.

No longer attacks living humans, only eats animals or human corpses,

And even if I eat, I eat selectively.

We regularly hold very secret gatherings, go through strict cooking procedures such as steaming, do not eat heads and faces, and retain the dignity of living creatures to a certain extent - although it is hypocritical to say this, we are really ashamed of our own race. ugly,

Every time you eat, try to avoid the fact that you are eating a corpse.

Since no brave team has appeared in decades,

So we no longer need to hold secret gatherings, and each household occasionally eats the poultry and livestock raised by itself..."

The village chief paused and suddenly remembered,

When Li Ang was conducting consultations in the center of the village square just now, he would ask for a lot of seemingly insignificant information while looking, hearing and asking.

For example, the types of crops in the village, the sources of the villagers’ daily diet, cooking methods, eating habits, etc.

At that time, the village chief only thought it was a normal inquiry from the doctor. Unexpectedly, by that time, the other party was already collecting key information.

Li Ang said with a smile: "In order to hide the fact that you are a ghoul from the outside brave team, your village used to hide the fact that you are a ghoul.

In order to make myself more 'civilized', I have done a lot of work,

Actively changed the villagers’ eating habits,

I usually eat a lot of vegetarian food and eat less meat. Meat food must also be cooked.

The fear of eating fresh flesh and blood directly triggers the bloodthirsty impulse in the blood.

The inheritance of this eating habit,

In the end, it led to the conflict between you and the ghouls' survival instincts, resulting in the evil consequences of premature aging. "

Li Ang glanced at the village chief and said: "The essence of cannibalism by ghouls is actually to obtain the huge number of bacterial flora in the human intestines.

More than 99% of the microorganisms in the human intestine are various types of bacteria, which can be divided into 500 to 1,000 species. The total number of genes is more than a hundred times that of humans, and they are closely related to human growth and health in all aspects.

Generally speaking, intestinal flora can be divided into commensal flora, opportunistic pathogenic flora, and pathogenic flora.

Symbiotic flora or beneficial bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, can synthesize vitamins necessary for human growth and development, such as vitamins B1, B2, B6, vitamin K, aspartate, phenylalanine and other types of amino acids,

Participate in food digestion, promote intestinal peristalsis, and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

Opportunistic pathogenic bacteria, such as enterococci and enterobacteriaceae, are not numerous but are unstable factors. When the human body is healthy, harmful bacteria will be suppressed by the larger number of beneficial bacteria. However, when the human body is not so healthy, harmful bacteria will cause various intestinal diseases.

As for pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella and pathogenic Escherichia coli, they usually do not belong to the intestinal tract and can cause intestinal diseases, diarrhea, food poisoning, etc. after accidental ingestion.

Since everyone's growth status, eating habits, daily routine, etc. are different from childhood to adulthood, the intestinal flora in each person's body will be different.

You can think of it as a chaotic, dynamically balanced, and charming huge system.

It's like a complex organ that lives inside your organs. "

Li Ang said in an interesting tone with a smile: "The intestinal flora is like a magic pet and needs careful care and protection.

Eat more fiber-rich vegetables and fermented foods rich in probiotics, have a regular diet, avoid overeating, eat less high-calorie and high-fat foods, and eat less foods you have never eaten before. Only in this way can you regulate the flora.

Otherwise, you will be plagued by various intestinal diseases——

During my physical examination just now, I specifically checked the intestinal conditions of villagers of all ages and genders in your village, and found that:

The growth status of intestinal flora in all villagers is a mess.

There are very few or no common beneficial bacteria in the human body. Instead, opportunistic pathogenic bacteria dominate.

As a result, villagers generally have aging intestinal walls, rough intestinal mucosa, poor blood circulation and a dark red color;

Intestinal peristalsis is irregular, either too fast or too slow, and the feces is too hard or too thin to retain nutrients, leading to worse growth of beneficial bacteria, aggravating intestinal alkalinity, and declining immune function of the intestinal wall, forming a vicious cycle;

This is true regardless of men, women, old or young. "

"this..."

The village chief stayed where he was. To be honest, he couldn't understand the terms Salmonella and E. coli at all.

But looking at the tone of the brave man,

Their group of ghouls, maybe, probably, maybe it is really because of intestinal problems that causes premature aging?

"Then what should we do?"

The village chief asked anxiously, "This is beneficial...ahem, beneficial bacteria. How can we obtain it? How can we promote it on a large scale?"

"Generally speaking, humans can stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria by ingesting prebiotics."

Li Ang introduced: “Prebiotics, in short, are some organic substances that are not digested and absorbed by the host but can selectively promote the metabolism and proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the body, thereby improving the health of the host.

For example, oligosaccharides are algae, polysaccharides, and proteolytes. Some natural vegetables, Chinese herbal medicines, and wild plants can also act as prebiotics. "

"vegetable?"

The village chief keenly grasped the key words and said anxiously: "But we have been eating vegetables on weekdays?

We use technology from outside to cultivate farmland diligently and plant various crops.

Life may not be rich and powerful, but even the poorest villagers can eat well every day..."

"is very good,

However, the physiques between humans and ghouls cannot be generalized. "

Li Ang spread his hands and said: "The daily intake of prebiotics required by the human body is 15g per day. Of course, this is only theoretical data.

From a practical perspective, the actual daily intake of prebiotics for a person who eats normally is 2-8g/d, which is far lower than the theoretical requirement.

As for your village, because of its ghoul bloodline, its physique is inherently different from that of humans.

Prebiotics are not digested when passing through the human upper digestive tract, but are fermented by intestinal flora, ultimately stimulating the growth of beneficial flora.

However, the ghoul bloodline will directly digest various prebiotics including oligosaccharides, making them unable to reach the intestinal flora, and thus unable to stimulate the already small number of beneficial flora.

Prebiotic intake is inherently inefficient.

Coupled with the closed environment, long-term confinement, and simple diet,

Various factors have caused your prebiotic intake to be far below the minimum level, causing intestinal problems to spread into systemic problems, leading to weakness in the limbs, various diseases, and shortened lifespan. "

The village chief thought for a long time, "You mean, our ghoul bloodline can digest this thing called prebiotics?"

"Um."

Li Ang nodded, "It's digested in the upper digestive tract."

The village chief hesitated and said: "The upper digestive tract refers to..."

"The part of digestion above the duodenum."

Li Ang stretched out his hand and gestured, "Including the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and one end of the duodenum."

"oh oh."

The village chief nodded and hesitated: "Can we just skip these parts?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

The village chief gestured: "For example, use a tube to directly introduce the prebiotics into the intestines?"

"Not bad, my thinking is very broad."

Li Ang's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands to show his approval, "You can actually come up with such a method.

In a different environment, you might be able to usher in a new era of medicine.

But alas, it doesn't work. "

Just as the village chief was about to be happy, he froze on the spot, "Huh? Why?"

“Because prebiotics are good,

You also need probiotic bacteria to stimulate it. "

Li Ang spread his hands and said: "You don't even have probiotics in your intestines, the number is almost non-existent.

Even if you take a big tube and pour prebiotics into your intestines, it won't be possible to create something from scratch.

Create a probiotic flora. "

"Oh, you can't create things out of thin air, right?"

The village chief thought for a while and concluded, "In other words, the path of prebiotics is dead?

So... what to do? "

"If you want to rely on eating regular food to supplement prebiotics and stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, I'm afraid it won't work."

Li Ang shook his head and said: "I can only use some strong medicine."

"Strong medicine?"

The village chief felt an ominous feeling in his heart, "You mean..."

"Be like the rodents."

Li Ang said in a serious tone: "Use a more efficient way to replenish, or at least maintain, healthy intestinal flora."

The village chief felt his eyes go dark, "You, you mean to eat..."

"Yes, just eat shit."

Li Ang said sadly: "After much thought, this is almost the most suitable way to relieve the premature aging disease in your village."

"Is there no other way?"

The village chief felt like he was about to suffocate, "This is too..."

"nausea?"

Li Ang shook his head and said: "Rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, coypu, South American capybaras...these animals have been eating their own feces for tens of millions of years. What did they say?

There are also species like dung beetles, which are born in excrement, grow in excrement, die in excrement, and are tied to excrement all their lives.

In nature, eating shit is completely legitimate and not dirty behavior.

Human beings who pride themselves on being superior have put an unwarranted stigma on the behavior of eating shit.

Just imagine, if there were no animals and microorganisms to digest feces, the entire world would be flooded with feces and turn into a planet covered with brownish-yellow material.

Human beings live among the selfless contributions of other species, but they still trample, criticize, and insult them. This is simply the behavior of an ungrateful villain..."

Li Ang became more and more excited as he spoke. Ding Shinji and Liu Wushao next to him had to persuade him: "Calm down, calm down first."

"call..."

Li Ang calmed down his breathing and slowly said to the village chief: "Well, actually I wouldn't have taken this step if I didn't have to.

If you want to cure premature aging in the village,

It's best to be mentally prepared - not just for yourself, but for all the other villagers as well. "

"..."

The village chief's expression could almost turn into a mask of pain. He took a few heavy breaths and said with difficulty: "Okay...

So what should we do?

Find an opportunity to slaughter a large animal and eat it without cooking... its intestines and what's in the intestines?

Although this is hard to accept, I will try to convince others for the sake of the continuation of the village.

After all, as long as you suffer once, your life will be better in the future..."

"Who said you have to eat livestock? And only once?"

Li Ang said inexplicably: "How can you do it just by eating it once?

It must be eaten regularly as a eating habit with local characteristics. "

"What?! Do you want to keep eating?"

The village chief was extremely shocked and froze in place, as if struck by thunder, "This, this...

Didn’t you say that you can directly obtain probiotics by eating them directly? "

"That's an animal."

Li Ang shook his head helplessly and said: "Many herbivores start eating shit since they were young.

Because newborn herbivores are in the same situation as you are now, there is no intestinal flora responsible for digestion and absorption in the intestines.

It is impossible to create a colony directly from scratch.

Therefore, it must eat the feces of adult individuals.

Such as elephants, hippos, pandas,

This is called inheritance, passed down from generation to generation, even if one generation is missing.

As for koalas, they also eat feces. They must eat feces to obtain a type of intestinal bacteria called tannin-protein complexes, thereby gaining the ability to decompose toxins in eucalyptus leaves, their main food.

Otherwise, you will be poisoned by eucalyptus leaf toxin.

If you want to cultivate your own stable probiotic flora in the intestines,

You must imitate herbivore cubs,

Eating shit every day, every month, every week, long-term and persistently.

This is a very long process and may be a bit painful for you. "

It's not just torture, I'm going to suffocate just thinking about it.

Shinji Ding on the side barely resisted the urge to complain. He looked around at the expressions on the faces of his teammates and found that their expressions were also particularly exciting.

Although Li Ang's words were nonsense, they had a strong logic to them.

Ghoul, why do I feel like I should change my name...

Li Ang didn't care about the village chief's near-collapse mood, and continued: "You don't have to feel sad first. In fact, regular intake of microorganisms is also good for adult organisms.

Because in adult individuals, even if they cultivate reliable and stable beneficial bacteria, their body functions will still deteriorate over time.

And lose part of the diversity of intestinal flora.

For example, the complexity and change trajectory of the intestinal flora of the international medical fish, killifish, is similar to that of humans.

The intestinal flora of old medaka fish is a bit drab. If you eat the fish feces of young medaka fish, you can restore the activity of the intestinal flora and even live longer and younger as a result.

I imagine the same may be true for ghouls. "

Li Ang said seriously: "In general, cubs, adults, and old people all have to eat shit.

Young cubs and old people can also eat the feces of adult individuals.

Thereby counteracting or even completely curing premature aging diseases. "
