This is a light green mass of flesh with a muscular texture, and there are some subtle blood-red lines on the surface, which look like capillaries.
There is a lot of mucus on the outside of this thing, and it is falling bit by bit.
Li Huaiyun held the meat ball in his hand and felt a burst of acidity in his stomach.
What on earth is this?
At this moment, he felt a touch in his hand, and the meat ball was trembling slightly, like a heart beating.
This reminded him of the things growing on the corpses of Narcissus in the river.
However, apart from their appearance, the two are not very similar.
Captain Liu stepped forward with a curious look on his face and asked, "What is this?"
Li Huaiyun shook his head, "This! I don't know what it is! It's like vomiting something out, a bit disgusting!"
"Could that be some kind of Gu?" Liu Captou asked.
"insanity?"
"Yes, I heard that some Gu are in their juvenile stage, and that's what they look like!"
Based on what he said, Li Huaiyun thought for a long time and found that what the other party said made sense.
"What Liu Captou means is that someone uses corpses to cultivate Gu?"
"Yes! If that's the case, we'd be in trouble now."
"Captain Liu, are you sure you have the guts to manipulate corpses?"
"Well! I just heard about it! The situation you mentioned before is also possible! For details, you'd better ask some people who know this!"
Li Huaiyun thought about it and felt it didn't make sense, "I don't think so! If it was cultivated from corpses, why was it found in this ragdoll?"
"That's right!" Mr. Liu shrugged, "In that case, I'm not sure!"
It seems that we should leave it to Sikyong to take a look!
Li Huaiyun put the meat ball back into the puppet doll's body, and then wrapped the puppet doll with the coarse cloth that fell on the ground.
"Take this thing to the Demon Slayer Department and have someone give it to Sikyong."
Captain Liu took the coarse cloth and said, "Okay!"
Li Huaiyun said slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry! Mr. Liu, if you want to go deeper into this case, you will have to spend more time. There is nothing I can do about these clues at the moment. When I return to the Demon Slayer Division, I will talk to Sikyong again." Let’s discuss it!”
Although he was powerless for the time being, he still came up with some ideas, "I suggest you start your investigation from King Lin's guards, so you might be able to find more clues."
Liu Captou looked embarrassed, "Brother, you are joking!"
"How to say?"
"You underestimate them too much. Those guards are very vigilant. I have followed them several times before and were almost discovered by them. For the sake of my own safety, I had to give up."
Li Huaiyun pinched his chin, "It seems that they also know that they have secrets on their bodies and will be followed and investigated at any time, so they are always vigilant and careful to prevent others from discovering them."
Liu Captou gritted his teeth and held his sword tightly, "Those bastards have done a lot of bad things in Kyoto. Unfortunately, they are from the king's family, and the county government does not have enough power and manpower, so no one has dared to do so." Move them."
Li Huaiyun frowned. Such a scumbag was actually King Lin's bodyguard. With this status, those people would be even more unscrupulous. No wonder they would try to seize other girls on the street.
He said in an angry tone, "If it is confirmed that they are the murderers, they must be arrested and brought to justice,"
Liu Captou hesitated for a moment and responded simply, "I hope so!"
After all, the identity of the other party is there. It is too difficult for people with the royal family to bring them to justice, unless they are also people with royal background. However, it seems that no one except the emperor can do it at present. .
Li Huaiyun and Mr. Liu left the county government office. On the street, Li Huaiyun clasped his fists again and apologized, "Sorry, I couldn't help Mr. Liu."
But Capt. Liu didn't think so, "You're welcome, brother, you have already done a lot, the rest will be left to the Demon Slayer Division!"
"Then I'll say goodbye!"
"Farewell!" Liu Captou picked up the thing wrapped in coarse cloth in his hand and went to the Demon Slaying Department.
When Li Huaiyun returned to his house, the sky had already dimmed. He had just passed by the medical center and wanted to bring Hongyun back directly. What he didn't expect was that this woman came back first, which surprised him.
He hurried back to the house, and then dared to go to the kitchen. Uncle Fu was pacing back and forth with an impatient look on his face. When he saw Li Huaiyun entering the kitchen, he became excited. .
"Oh! Master, why are you here just now! My wife has been arguing for a long time, scolding us for not preparing dinner!"
Uncle Fu shook his head helplessly, "I have prepared these meals as you said!"
Li Huaiyun patted Uncle Fu on the shoulder, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise this surprise would be gone!"
"Master, what exactly is this thing you made? It's soft, sweet, and tastes very good!"
"You'll know in a minute, and I'll make sure you want to eat again after eating it."
"Now have all the servants come to the hall."
"Um!"
"I'll go to the hall to meet my aunt first. Then I'll just slap the table and you guys will come in with the food."
"Okay!" Fu Bo responded loudly.
Li Huaiyun walked out of the kitchen and came to the hall. At this time, Hongyun was sitting at the table with a surprised look on her face. She looked at the empty table in front of her and was very angry.
When she saw Li Huaiyun coming up, she asked loudly, "Have you seen Uncle Fu?"
Li Huaiyun smiled and nodded, "I've seen him! He's in the kitchen."
"Why is it so slow today? Dinner hasn't been prepared yet! I asked him to go to the kitchen to look at it three times. Why is it still like this?"
"Auntie!" Li Huaiyun stood behind Hong Yun, then reached out and started massaging her shoulders, "Look, why are you so angry when you come back? Let me massage you to calm down the anger."
"To be courteous for nothing, to be a traitor or a thief, what's going on today?"
"What's the matter? It's just that today is my aunt's birthday. I just want to be better prepared so that you can be happy today!"
"Happy? I don't even have to eat when I come back, how can I be happy!"
Seeing that the sky outside was getting darker, Li Huaiyun thought to himself, there should be no problem now!
Hong Yun looked at the surroundings getting darker and stood up, "What are these people doing today? No one even lit the candles!"
"Someone will be here soon."
Li Huaiyun felt that the time was ripe to die at this moment, and immediately patted the table, "Auntie, please be patient, you will be here soon!"
Hong Yun looked at the smiling Li Huaiyun and frowned, "What the hell? What do you want to do?"
"I just want to celebrate my aunt's birthday!"
At this time, Uncle Fu walked into the hall holding a birthday cake, two plates of servants, lighting candles, and carrying food. With smiles on their faces, "Madam! Happy birthday!"
The birthday cake is placed in the middle of the mouth of the table.
Hong Yun noticed this thing immediately. Without saying anything, she directly applied a little on it with her fingers and put it in her mouth. The melt-in-the-mouth texture and sweet taste made this place People can’t stop.
She then took another finger and put it in her mouth for a moment!
"Auntie! If this continues, will you finish all the cream?"
"Cream?" Hongyun looked at her fingers, "Is this thing called cream?"
"yes!"
"What's it made of?"
Li Huaiyun waved his hand, "This is a secret. If you don't tell my aunt now, let's start the birthday ceremony first!"
He waved to the servants, who placed the candles around the cake.
"This can be changed to another place!"
"Yes, this is also for this atmosphere." Li Huaiyun said, "Now please ask our birthday girl to make a wish!"
"Make a wish?"
Li Huaiyun pointed to the candle, "I just hope that my wish can come true."
Hongyun glared at him, "I hope you won't cause me any more trouble!"
"Wait! Auntie, you have to keep this wish in your heart, otherwise it won't work!"
"Tch, there are so many tricks, do they work or not?"
"spirit!"
Hong Yun closed her eyes and began to make a wish in front of the candle, while Li Huaiyun, along with Uncle Fu and his servants, began to sing Happy Birthday a cappella. He clapped his hands gently and began to lead the singing rhythmically.
This ceremony seemed quite novel to everyone, and for Hong Yun, it was rare to experience different birthday rituals.
When Hong Yun opened her eyes, Li Huaiyun immediately said loudly, "Okay, now please ask Auntie to blow out the candles, and your wish will be tested soon!"
Hong Yun felt happy. Where did this bastard learn this? It's so ritualistic,
Li Huaiyun ordered his servants to light the candles in the hall. Suddenly, the hall became bright, and everyone came forward and gathered around the table.
He handed Hongyun a kitchen knife, "Now, let's ask our birthday girl to cut the birthday cake and share it with everyone."
The servants were all very happy, happily waiting for the thing called cream cake. They heard that Uncle Forbes, a tricky person, liked it very much, so they knew it must be delicious.
Hongyun held a kitchen knife and looked at the cake on the table, which was not very big. She was a little reluctant to part with it. The thing tasted so good, so she was a little reluctant to share it with the servants.
Naturally, you want to own good things alone.
Li Huaiyun saw that Hong Yun was still reluctant to make a move, so he turned sideways and asked softly, "Auntie, what's wrong? Share the cake quickly!"
Hongyun tilted her head and glanced at him hard, "Can we ignore it? Since I am the birthday girl, I want to keep this thing for myself."
"ah!"
"This stuff is really delicious, sweet! It has a great feeling."
But if one person eats this, there will be too much fat! Li Huaiyun frowned and said, "Auntie, you don't have to be so reluctant. I know how to make it. If I want to eat it next time, I'll give you more, that's fine!"
Hearing this, Hong Yun could only give up. She still had the reluctant look on her face and pursed her lips, "You said, make me the same size next time."
"no problem!"
Hongyun divided the cake into many pieces, keeping two big pieces for herself, and then gave the rest to her servants.
Those servants had never eaten this kind of thing before. Sweets made them feel happy physically and mentally. They wanted to eat a few more pieces, but there were only a few pieces on the plate. Only the lady was still sitting there enjoying it, so it would definitely not be his turn. .
A servant came up and asked Li Huaiyun, what kind of food is this? Can you teach me how to make it? So that they can go back and do it themselves.
Li Huaiyun thought that the ingredients for this kind of thing were too difficult to get in this dynasty, and the servants couldn't afford it at all, so he said directly, "Milk is added to it! There are very few of those things on the market, and they are also very expensive!"
Fu Bo immediately said, "Yes! It's good that you can eat it! Do you know how much milk is?"
When the servants heard what Uncle Fu said, they knew they couldn't afford this cream cake.
Hongyun put the remaining cake on the plate, and then sipped it with chopsticks. The sweet feeling made her feel more and more happy.
Li Huaiyun was beside Hong Yun and whispered, "Auntie! Eat less! If you eat too much of this stuff, you will easily gain weight. You don't want your thin waist to turn into the shape of a bucket!"
"Ah!" Hong Yun turned her head and glared at him, "Although this food is delicious, is it easy to gain weight?"
"Yes! It will be difficult to lose weight then!"
Hongyun frowned and tasted a few more secretly. There was only half a piece left on the plate, "If I had known earlier, I should have made a wish not to gain weight!"
"You really think long-term!"
"Yes! By the way, little bastard, where did you learn these sets and the cream cakes? Then make a wish and sing these."
"Isn't it because I have so many ideas in my head?"
"Hmph! I must have learned it from some travel book!" Li Huaiyun gave Hongyun a thumbs up, "The one who knows me is my aunt!"
Hong Yun raised her head proudly, she wanted to eat the remaining half of the cake!
At this moment, slight footsteps came from outside the hall. Li Huaiyun raised his head and looked up, and found a familiar figure.
He walked up slightly curiously, "Mu Yuan! Why are you here?"
Mu Yuan glanced inside, where everyone gathered around the table, "I'm here to ask for your help!"
"Let's talk inside!"
"Okay!" They walked in side by side and looked at the scene inside. She immediately asked, "What's going on in this hall? There are so many people here."
"It was my aunt's birthday, so I made some things by myself and prepared some ceremonies to celebrate her birthday."
It had been a long time since Mu Yuan had gotten together with someone, and she missed that kind of atmosphere.
The two came to the table.
"Auntie!" Li Huaiyun said, "This is the Demon Slayer Division, the helmsman of Qianji Pavilion!"
Hong Yun had never had much favorable impressions of Demon Slayer Division, who was still at the level of a helmsman. However, she could tell at a glance from her identity, temperament, and the material of her clothes that this woman was not ordinary.
Hate it or hate it, but you still have to stick to basic etiquette!
She pushed the last half of the cream cake on the plate to Mu Yuan's side, "Girl, try this cream cake. This little brat made it. It tastes really good!"
"Really?" Mu Yuan didn't quite believe this. She had eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas in the palace, and the snacks and pastries were just similar in appearance.
She directly picked up the cream cake and stuffed it into her mouth. When she first came into contact with the cream, she didn't pay much attention to it. She suddenly felt that if she kept it, she would have to hit her head first.
Unexpectedly, her head was full.
The moment the cream cake was placed in her mouth, Mu Yuan's whole body trembled. She sighed, this kind of thing melts in the mouth, which is really an advantage.
The sweet taste was quite in line with Mu Yuan's taste, which really surprised him.
Mu Yuan looked at Hong Yun, "This thing is so delicious! Do you have any more?"
"No more! This is the last piece!" Hong Yun pursed her lips. She reluctantly gave away the last piece. Otherwise, she would have kept it until tomorrow.
"I can exchange it for silver coins, any amount is fine!"
As many as you want? This girl must be quite rich! Hong Yun glanced at Li Huaiyun beside her, "Then you have to ask this bastard. He made the stuff. However, it tastes so good. For such a comparison, it would cost dozens of taels at least."
Mu Yuan asked, "How did you get this thing? Does it cost a lot of money?"
