Digression

I remembered a summer vacation when I was studying. I spent the whole long summer in the library in the quiet valley. I sorted the book numbers every day. For the rest of the sultry season, I wrote Taiwan to a daily newspaper. Current reviews are often delayed, and every time I tell the editor that I am about to finish writing, it is just the beginning. I had to have some fun when I was dragging the manuscript, so I raised a colony of ants in the flower tray and fed them every day to see how they lived. The dormitory was temporarily lived in. When I finally moved out, I got ant medicine and killed them all.

I suddenly remembered this incident because I saw a weird film "The New Daughter" in which the girl was raped by ants the same size and gave birth to many huge ant eggs. Big Ant finally killed her father and her brother. Are ants so terrible? I really want to recommend that kind of ant medicine, which is much more effective than the Americans' clumsy use of firearms to fight ants.
The male protagonist in several horror movies I have watched recently is always a dad who loves to procrastinate. After watching "The New Daughter", the next movie I watched is the cartoon "Dante's Divine Comedy", which contains various special hells. For example, greedy people will fall into the belly of three-headed dogs, and money-greedy people will Fall into the boiler that melts gold. So what will happen to the people who dragged the manuscript?

Maybe it will fall into the ant's nest. I have to write down the brand of that useful ant medicine. Unfortunately, time has passed and I can't remember it. But now that I am an editor, maybe there is still a hell of reminder, then do I still need ant medicine?
