My back was covered with wriggling cocoons,as if they were about to emerge from the cocoons the next second,causing me great pain.My adoptive parents took me to my grandmother for help,but the insect eggs on me were really troublesome.My grandmother said that the person who laid the eggs was a blood relative.Could it be my biological parents whom I had just recognized some time ago...
When I woke up from a nap,I suddenly felt a bit itchy and painful on my back.I took off my top and looked in the mirror.My back was actually covered with small bumps,and there seemed to be a black dot in each small bump.
I picked up an acne needle and pricked it.I was shaking with pain,and blood was flowing.The black dot seemed to move twice after being pricked.

Scared,I immediately took a taxi and rushed to the hospital.
The young doctor in the dermatology department looked at it for a long time and prescribed a bunch of examinations for me to do.
I didn't dare to ask questions,so I could only obediently go for the examinations.
The young doctor looked at it for a long time,scratching his head and ears,and then invited the director.
The director pushed his glasses and stared up and down for a long time:"This...is rare.Let's observe it for a few days first."
"Okay,thank you,director."

I put away a pile of examination slips on the table.Just as I was about to leave the hospital entrance,someone grabbed my arm from behind.
I turned around and saw it was my father:"Dad,why are you here?Are you not feeling well?"
"The daughter-in-law of Aunt Li next door gave birth.I came to take a look and bring some eggs.Your mother hasn't come out yet.I'm waiting for her here for a while.What's wrong with you?What's bothering you?"
"It's nothing.Just my back is a bit itchy,so I came to see the dermatologist."

"As long as it's nothing serious.Have you found a job yet?How about going home and resting for a few days?"
The job market has been tough since I graduated,and it's not easy to find a job.
My mother came out soon.
"Yueyue said her back is itchy.When you get home,take a look and get some herbal medicine."The older generation in the countryside likes to use herbal medicine.They think the things passed down from their ancestors are good.
"Yueyue,do you want to stay at home for a few days?The geese at home have also grown up.Let's kill a goose and eat it."
Although it's called the countryside,it's not far away.It only takes a two-hour drive to get there.My parents originally bought a house in the city for their retirement,but they just couldn't get used to living there.They only stayed there occasionally when they went to the city to do business.
"Yueyue...Do they treat you well?"After dinner,my mother asked cautiously.
My father was smoking beside her,not saying a word.
I was a child who was left by the roadside when I was little and was picked up by my parents.I've known this for a long time.
Half a month ago,my biological parents found me.They were in tears,saying that they accidentally lost me while working when I was a child and insisted that I go home with them and stay for a while.
My mother was in floods of tears:"After all,they are your real parents.If you want to go with them,then go."
Finally,we reached an agreement.I would still stay with my adoptive parents who raised me.As for my biological parents,I would visit them during festivals,and I also promised to help out if there was anything.
"Mom,no matter how well they treat me,they can't be as good as you.You've worked so hard to raise me.I don't care.You are my real parents.If I don't have a job in the future,I'll just rely on you."
I hugged my mother and acted coquettishly.My mother then relaxed and said to me:"Okay,you can just be lazy and die at home."
At this moment,my father finished smoking,patted his buttocks,got up and turned on the TV:"Yueyue,wash some fruits and come and watch TV."
"Coming."
When I was going to bed at night,my mother suddenly remembered and asked me to turn over so she could look at my back.
She lifted up my clothes:"Oh,what's this on you..."
I put my clothes down:"Mom,don't worry.The doctor said it's nothing."
I could only comfort her like this.Elders are most afraid of getting worried.
"No,no..."
My mother ran out in a panic,"Mr.Zhang,Mr.Zhang."
My mother went out and talked with my father for a long time.When she came back,she said:"Yueyue,we'll go to see Grandma tomorrow."
Grandma is a somewhat famous shaman in that area.People around will go to Grandma to deal with all kinds of strange things.
I nodded,but my heart was filled with unease.It was not easy for me to fall asleep,and when I woke up again,I heard the voices of my parents outside the room.
"I'm afraid Yueyue has been bewitched by insects.It seems to be quite serious.Let's catch the old rooster at home.Maybe it will be useful."
"What kind of insects?Who could have bewitched Yueyue with insects?"
"It's hard to say.It looks like a big trouble.Hurry up,don't let the chicken run away."
I looked at the time.It was six o'clock,and it was almost time to get up.
When changing clothes,I took another look in the mirror.Goodness,it seemed that the black dots from yesterday had become even bigger!
In an instant,in my mind,I thought of the silkworms I raised when I was a child!
With a bang!I suddenly felt my limbs turn cold,and goosebumps covered my whole body.So what my mother said about being bewitched by insects-they were real insects!My entire back was full of living insects!
"Mom!Mom!"I couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted for my mother desperately.
My mother rushed in and was so scared by me that her eyes widened:"What's wrong?What's wrong?"
"Mom,the insects..."I pointed at my back with trembling fingers.
"It's okay,it's okay.We'll go see Grandma.It's okay."My mother helped me change my clothes and kept comforting me.
My father had already been waiting at the door in the Hongguang car.
