When Mrs. Armor heard the cry of her youngest daughter Lisa, she immediately put down the clothes she was washing and rushed out in a hurry.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck."
Li Qi grinned, looking at Mrs. Amore and her sister Lisa smiling dreamily, her body twitching from time to time.
There was a look of astonishment in Mrs. Amore's eyes. Without bothering to thank Hannah and Locke, they forced Li Qi into the home.
Mrs. Armor took out the Life Cult leaf pendant hanging on her chest, pressed it on Li Qi’s forehead, closed her eyes and said silently,
"Great mother of all living beings,
mother earth,
the creator of life,
The founder of chaos and order,
Please bless me and remove the weirdness and pollution from your followers. "
She recited it three times and repeatedly slapped Li Qi's forehead with the leaf pendant until red marks appeared on Li Qi's forehead.
Immediately, Liqi fell down tremblingly as if all her strength had been drained from her body.
Lisa nervously caught her sister and looked at her mother in panic.
"Mom, what should I do?"
"Wrap them in black cloth, keep them out of the light, and let's go to church and pray for holy water."
Locke's brows frowned slightly. People here generally do not go to expensive hospitals when they are sick. Instead, they choose to go to churches to pray for holy water and blessings.
In Locke's view, Li Qi's symptoms were more like illness or poisoning, and she should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.
As for how to explain why Liqi, who was twitching all over, suddenly fell asleep after Mrs. Amore's prayers, it was most likely because Mrs. Amore's attack was too heavy and knocked the person unconscious.
"Mrs. Armor, go to the hospital."
Hannah and Locke had the same idea, so she suggested.
Mrs. Armor shook her head, "This is evil. It must be evil. Don't tell others. Hannah, Locke, please help us keep the secret. We must go to church now."
Mrs. Armor was afraid that her reputation would be affected by the evil spirit, and that the neighbors and the "rich people" in the West End near the Trey Bridge would no longer let her wash and mend clothes, so she specifically begged Locke and Hannah. Help keep secrets.
"Mrs. Armor, do you know when Liqi developed this symptom?"
Hannah asked eagerly, she wanted to know the truth of the matter, or find a breakthrough to investigate.
Mrs. Armor shook her head again;
"I don't know. I just asked her to go out to deliver washed clothes to customers, and you guys sent her back. She's still in the same state. She must have encountered something dirty outside."
Looking at the life sect believers who were unable to enter, Hannah and Locke could only get out of the way and let Mrs. Armor and Lisa wrap Li Qi in black cloth and take her to the church.
Hannah sighed deeply. If no one is willing to be interviewed and everyone sends the patients to the church, how can she find out the truth?
Locke, who saw Hannah's distress, said,
"Hannah, is it related to the drinking water? Since the apartment was replaced by the Compass drinking water company, many people have suffered from diarrhea. Have you had a similar situation before?"
"You mean diarrhea is just a prelude, and it will turn into Li Qi's condition later?"
Hannah couldn't help but feel scared.
"I'm just guessing, but I don't rule out the possibility, but both Liqi and Lucy should have had diarrhea."
The bathrooms on the same floor are shared, so it's not surprising that Locke knows this.
Hannah nodded, "Let's go, let's try asking other people to see if they have had diarrhea recently."
The siblings started to move, and Miss Witch, who was firmly attached to Locke's shoulder, yawned in boredom.
"Locke, you might as well cook me some more delicious meals while you have this time."
Erin suggested.
"Eat meatloaf for lunch and Kung Pao Pork Liver for dinner. Meatloaf is a golden food made of minced meat, eggs, onions, potatoes and garlic mixed with flour and deep-fried. The skin is crispy and the inside is full. Kung Pao Pig The liver is..."
Locke explained the two dishes in detail, and Irene was quite satisfied with it. Thinking of being able to eat brand-new dishes again, the body on Locke's shoulder trembled slightly.
Hannah looked at her brother strangely,
"Locke, were you talking to the cat just now?"
"No, I'm telling Hannah about the new dish I invented."
Locke said seriously.
"But didn't I say that we should no longer use luxurious materials like meat?"
Hannah frowned and said, she was afraid that her brother would develop the bad habit of having sex with anyone in the future.
"Hannah, when you finish this news and return to the press, and we don't have a debt crisis, can't we enjoy a life of meat per ton?"
Locke asked rhetorically.
Hannah thought for two seconds and nodded, "The weekly salary of 1 silver meter is indeed enough for us to live on. Okay, let's consider this as an early celebration, but remember not to spend too much money. The two of us can't eat too much in one meal." .”
Yes, the two of us can't eat much meat in one meal, but Miss Witch can eat an adult man's rations for two days in one meal.
Although his body is so petite, his appetite is surprisingly good.
However, Locke is not a person who is extravagant and wasteful. People in Kosolk do not like to eat pork. The price of pork is much cheaper than beef, and most of the offal of pigs, cows, and sheep are discarded directly. If you build a good relationship with the owner of the butcher shop, you can get the best ingredients at the lowest price.
However, Bedem, the son of the owner of the butcher shop, likes to listen to him telling stories about witches. He is a very good guide. Through Bedem, Locke can get these materials at a very low price, and he can use them for future cooking. Pork offal, beef offal, haggis, and pork are all guaranteed to be the same, so that the witch girl Irene will enjoy eating them.
The two siblings were chatting and had already walked out of Old Tom's apartment and entered Old Joel's apartment opposite.
Old Yoel Apartments used drinking water from the Compass Water Company earlier than Tom Apartments, and many people in the square were residents of the apartments.
As soon as I walked into the apartment, I smelled an unpleasant stench.
Hannah and Locke covered their noses at the same time.
Because Eileen's sense of smell is more sensitive than ordinary people, she left the apartment long before entering.
"It's really terrible. Old Joel will jump out of the coffin board if he smells this smell."
Locke sighed.
The landlord of the apartment, Old Joel, passed away half a year ago, and the apartment was inherited by his son, Little Joel. Not only did Little Joel lower the rent, but he also charged everyone in the apartment, causing Old Joel's apartment to be overcrowded and very dirty. A stark contrast to Old Tom's Apartment.
Hannah nodded, convinced.
The two walked to the first floor and discovered that the stench did not come from the public bathroom that was seldom cleaned, but from Peter's house, the apartment resident on the first floor.
The closer you get, the stronger the flavor becomes.
Locke had a bad premonition and rationally took Hannah's hand as she prepared to knock on the door.
"etc."
