Qi Wenren slapped his head when he said this, "By the way, I have something extra on me."
After he finished speaking, he lifted up his clothes, and Lu Jing saw a pattern like a goat's horn on his left abdomen.
And Tong Qianxi on the bed became excited when she saw the horns, "Yes, yes, I have this thing on my body too, and it can't be washed off, but it's just on my butt."
Lu Jing was stunned when he saw the sheep's horns, "Is it really that thing?"
"What?" Luo Yingying asked.
"There is a legend in my hometown about a monster with a sheep body and a human face, eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws. It is greedy and eats gluttonously. It is called a glutton."
"So you mean to say that they were all targeted by that monster named Taotie and became what they are now?"
"I don't know," Lu Jing shook his head, "Just a picture can't explain anything, and... I still prefer that there are more human factors behind this matter. Taotie doesn't understand politics."
Qi Wenren had almost finished chewing the pig's trotter in his hand, and his originally flat belly was now slightly bulging.
But he didn't feel full at all. Instead, he started looking around again, wondering where there was food.
A look of worry appeared on Luo Yingying's face, "If he eats like this, will his body be unable to bear it?"
Tong Qianxi said, "Don't worry, after we feel hungry, our stomachs will be able to hold food better than before, and we will digest it quickly, just like a bottomless pit."
"It's a pity that what we eat will not disappear out of thin air. In the end, it will only become the fat on our bodies. He will be like me soon, so you'd better make plans in advance.
"By the way, do you have a lot of money on you? What he is going to eat is not a small sum of money. You also need to prepare a bed early. Ordinary beds will soon be unable to bear his weight. You need to Make a special bed like I did, oh, and... the person who takes care of him should also prepare it.
"He will soon be unable to get out of bed. Not only will he not be able to eat or drink, he will also not be able to go to the latrine. He will have to do it in bed. I can guarantee that the scene will be spectacular..."
Tong Qianxi giggled as she spoke, but there was no joy in her laughter, but instead contained a hint of resentment.
Qi Wenren broke into a cold sweat when she said that. If he really wanted to become what Tong Qianxi was like now, he would rather die now.
He turned his seeking eyes to Lu Jing and asked expectantly, "How's it going? Did you find anything over there?"
"We went to find a guy named Wu Ritu to find out from him whether similar things had happened in the lower city. But by the time we found Wu Ritu, he was already dead," Lu Jing said.
"Dead man?" Qi Wenren couldn't believe it. "Someone killed him before you did? Has the murderer been caught?"
"Well, actually... we still don't know how the murderer entered Wuritu's yard in broad daylight and how he left after killing people."
"How is this possible? Could it be that Wuritu killed himself?"
Qi Wenren originally just said something casually, but unexpectedly, it made Lu Jing startled.
Qi Wenren was embarrassed, "I didn't mean that."
Lu Jing shook his head. Before he could say anything, he heard footsteps coming from outside the hall, and then the figure of Chief Tongtu appeared behind the screen again.
As soon as he entered the door, he glared at Lu Jing and Qi Wenren.
"Haha, the Chen people really can't be trusted. I thought you were some kind of miracle doctor, but it turned out that you were lucky. My daughter was not cured, but she got herself involved. I won't kill you for Aku Man's sake. But you’d better get out of my palace now and don’t let me see you again!”
Qi Wenren's face turned red with embarrassment, but he heard Lu Jing say calmly, "Chief Tongtu, I told you when we came here, we must first find the cause of the disease before we can prescribe the right medicine. In order to figure out Qianxi What exactly has been released into the girl's body? My master is not willing to risk his own life.
"It's okay if you don't praise Tongtu Chief. Why do you still say that my master got me involved?"
Chief Tongtu knew clearly that Lu Jing was making excuses, but he couldn't refute it for the moment.
After a moment, he could only snort coldly, and then said, "Then what happened before is nothing. You kept saying that you wanted to treat my daughter, why did you go to my son-in-law again?"
"Of course it's also for the purpose of curing illnesses. We suspect that Bubule has something to do with Miss Qianxi's strange illness."
"That's nonsense," Chief Tongtu shook his head, "I heard what the maid told me about what happened over there. Bubul was upright and had a clear conscience from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, you guys are secretive. You can see that there is something wrong in your heart."
"If you can judge a person's quality just by his appearance, then there won't be any need for arrests in the yamen." Lu Jing said.
"Lingya, I think you are not as good as your master." Chief Tongtu had no intention of arguing with Lu Jing anymore, and waved his hand to ask the guards to drive the three of them out.
But then I heard a voice say, "Wait a minute."
Chief Tong Tu looked at Tong Qianxi on the bed in surprise.
"Dad, I think the master and apprentice are quite capable. You might as well give them some more time and let them try again." Tong Qianxi said.
"Well, since you said so, then give them...three days." Chief Tongtu said, "If they still can't cure your strange disease after three days, I will...I will..."
Chief Tongtu said I'll do it, but for a while he didn't know how to punish Lu Jing and the others.
Although Chief Tong Tu didn't take the three of them seriously, he didn't want to offend the Akuman behind them because of his special status. Coupled with his daughter's attitude, it was obvious that he was on the side of the three.
In the end, Chief Tongtu simply left the palace without saying any harsh words.
Lu Jing then asked Tong Qianxi a few more questions and said goodbye. Before leaving, Qi Wenren also handed over a fruit plate and ate it while walking.
His pace was not slow, but he couldn't bear the fruit plate without eating. Not far after leaving the palace, Qi Wenren couldn't resist the hunger in his stomach, and his body swayed when he walked.
When Lu Jing saw this, he quickly went to the roadside and bought him some snacks, which restored Qi Wenren's energy.
Then the three of them rushed to where Luo Changshi was and met with him.
After hearing the news of Wu Ritu's death, Luo Changshi also looked very surprised. He stroked his beard and said, "I asked him for help several times when I was Chang Shi. He is indeed very cunning. It is not easy to kill him."
Lu Jing asked again, "Is there anyone else in the city who is well-informed?"
