When he woke up, Lu Jing's mental and physical strength was back to what it was before.
The only fly in the ointment was that his internal strength also recovered along with it.
However, Lu Jing was now used to this kind of thing. He washed his face and practiced his famous kicking skills in the yard for a while.
After Nada made breakfast and the two of them had eaten and drank, a new round of sandstorm hit.
Under the admiring gaze of the female shopkeeper, Lu Jing walked out resolutely, holding his Zen staff.
Then... another batch of goods was sneaked in.
This time, because of his experience, Lu Jing was able to kill ten armored warriors in one go, while only using up two-thirds of his own internal strength.
After coming back, she didn't have much rest, and she took Nada non-stop to visit the household registration officer.
Ayub started serving as the household registration officer of Malazar Khan at the age of 27. He is almost 70 years old this year. He has worked in this position for more than 40 years. He has been working hard and is deeply loved by the residents of the city. Adored.
But after all, he is getting older, and his legs and feet are no longer as nimble as when he was young. The most important thing is that his head is not very bright, so although he is still the household registration officer of Malazar Khan, in fact, most of the work has been done by His two assistants are taking charge.
After Lu Jing and Nada arrived at Ayub's residence, they lingered outside the door for a while and waited until the sun was three o'clock before knocking on the door.
It turned out that the household registration officer had just got dressed with the help of his third wife.
Hearing that the current hero of Malazar Khan was coming, Ayub's family members quickly opened the door and welcomed the two in.
After a while, Ayub also came out accompanied by his wife.
However, his steps were very staggering, and the skin all over his body was wrinkled into orange peels, and was covered with age spots, full of old age, and his eyes were a little dull.
After sitting down, he listened to the family members introducing Lu Jing and Nada. He just nodded blankly, as if he didn't know the meaning of these two names at all.
After sitting for a while, a trace of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth. Upon seeing this, his wife quickly wiped away the saliva for him with a handkerchief.
Seeing the old look of the household registration officer, Nada's heart sank, but she still spoke with the intention of giving it a try.
"Lord Ayub, we know that you know every household in the city very well, so we want to ask you for a surname."
As a result, Ayub had no reaction when he heard this.
Nada no longer knew whether she needed to continue talking. At this time, the wife of the household registration officer said, "I'm sorry, Ayub's health is not good, and it is very difficult to communicate with people now."
"When did he start acting like this?" Lu Jing asked.
"About seven months ago. In fact, his body has always been very strong compared to his peers, and he usually exercises regularly. But seven months ago, our family was sitting together to have dinner normally, and Ayub ate very quickly. , but when he put down his knife and fork, he suddenly fainted on the table for some reason.
"When he wakes up again, he will be like this. Now he has to be served even for meals." The wife of the household registration officer sighed.
From her description, Ayoub was very much like a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He was lucky to survive. His current motor and cognitive impairments are among the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage.
The old household registration officer fell ill seven months ago, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the current disaster in Malazar Khan.
Finally, Ayub's wife added, "Although Ayub is still the household registration officer, the household registration management work has actually been done by his two assistants three years ago. If you have any questions, ask them Same thing.
"Just when you came in, I had someone call them here."
"Thank you." Nada thanked her.
Not long afterward, two young men were seen walking in from outside, one named Kraft and the other named Badres. As soon as they entered the door, they first saluted the household registration officer and his wife.
Then she expressed respect to Lu Jing and expressed her willingness to fully cooperate with their investigation. However, when Nada told them the ancient surname that Lu Jing found on the mural, both of them frowned.
After thinking hard for a while, they did not deny it immediately, but cautiously said that they would check again to confirm, and then the two of them went up to the room on the second floor where the household registration was stored.
Nada also went up together, and the three of them stayed there for a full hour. When they came downstairs, Nada looked very disappointed.
To Lu Jingdao, "We searched through all the household registration files in the city and couldn't find anyone with this surname."
"Is the household registration missing or altered?" Lu Jing put down the preserved fruit in his hand and asked.
"No." Nada shook her head.
"What about the people who used this last name and then changed it?"
"nor."
"So the ancient family behind this surname has completely disappeared from history?"
Things like this are actually nothing surprising.
After all, few things in this world are eternal. It is indeed easier for nobles to continue their families than for commoners. However, there are still many surnames that were once prominent and have lost their inheritance, not to mention a surname that has declined.
However, Lu Jing still wanted to make one final attempt.
He asked Nada to ask the household registration officer's wife if they could be alone with the household registration officer for a short period of time. The household registration officer's wife visibly hesitated after hearing this.
But perhaps because of Lu Jing's current status as a hero, he finally reluctantly agreed.
He took Lu Jing and Nada into Ayub's bedroom, dismissed the maids there, then took a deep look at Lu Jing and Nada, and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Looking at Ayub who was motionless and unresponsive on the bed, the female shopkeeper asked Lu Jing, "Do you really have a way to make him speak?"
"It's hard to say, I can only give it a try." Lu Jing said truthfully.
Cerebral hemorrhage, as the name suggests, is when blood vessels in the brain rupture and bleed.
It is difficult to completely cure the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage in Lu Jing's previous life, not to mention that in this era, there are neither relevant medical equipment nor suitable drugs at hand.
So all Lu Jing could do was put a hand on the registration officer's back, and channel his true energy into the latter's meridians, all the way up, and slowly reach his brain.
Then he found a way to repair his fragile meridians and at the same time reduced a small part of the congestion.
Lu Jing was very careful, because he could feel that the vitality in Ayub's body was running out, and his meridians were also shrinking with age, becoming riddled with holes.
Therefore, Lu Jing could only channel his true energy in little by little, for fear of accidentally shattering the old man's meridians.
This is why few people in the martial arts are willing to teach martial arts, because it is an extremely dangerous thing. Otherwise, the top sects would not have to spend time cultivating the next generation of young disciples. They would just go directly to the head master or something, and teach one accurate person. .
