Corpse Recovery Diver

"Does it hurt here?"

"No, it doesn't."

"Does it hurt here?"

"It hurts."

"Did it start hurting here last night?"

"No, it seems to have moved. Last night it was a bit lower."

Li Zhiyuan nodded.

Xiong Shan, noticing this, let out a long breath and then instinctively asked, "Is the effect of the talisman paper lingering here?"

Li Zhiyuan: "No."

Xiong Shan: "Then it's..."

Li Zhiyuan: "You should take him to the township health clinic now."

Xiong Shan asked in surprise, "Take him to the health clinic?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Yes, he has acute appendicitis."

However, the triggering factors were not purely natural.

First of all, the Chenzhou Talisman is a school of its own, different from the talisman paper Li Zhiyuan used on Lin Shuyou before.

Secondly, Lin Shuyou forgot that they were at Big Beard's house, not Li Sanjiang's. He actually dared to perform divination facing the Peach Forest.

This put the White Crane Child in a difficult position.

Due to his previous admonition to the child, the White Crane Child neither dared to not come down nor dared to come down.

So, after discovering that he was not actually there and that there was no real danger nearby, the child made a "swift descent and ascent."

He came down, and then quickly left.

This also prevented Lin Shuyou from complaining to the youth that he didn't come down.

This rapid descent and ascent, combined with the special effects of the Chenzhou Talisman, practically shook Lin Shuyou's internal organs severely.

His constitution is indeed strong and resilient, but it also caused issues, triggering acute appendicitis.

Xiong Shan carried Lin Shuyou downstairs, ran out of the house, and early in the morning, carried Ah You to have his appendix removed.

Seeing Li Zhiyuan return, Aunt Liu called out, "It's time for breakfast!"

Alii was already sitting there waiting for him, so Li Zhiyuan sat down beside the girl.

Run Sheng came out; he had just saved up a hundred thousand in advance in the underground for Tan Wenbin.

However, after coming out, Run Sheng glanced around: "Where's Meng Meng?"

In the past, Yin Meng would get up very early every day.

After all, she couldn't cook, but if she didn't eat on time, it would be quite disgraceful, especially when her master cooked every day.

Li Zhiyuan's gaze fell on the tightly closed west room.

He thought: Another troublemaker?

Li Zhiyuan stood up, walked to the west room door, paused for a moment, and seeing Aunt Liu still bringing out porridge, he knew it was safe inside and that he could open the door.

Moreover, Yin Meng should also be safe.

When they lived at Grandpa's house, Aunt Liu and Uncle Qin would be very cautious, fearing the backlash of Grandmaster's Luck, and now with Zou Jiang—

Besides, when he talked to the memorial tablet yesterday, Aunt Liu seemed to be hurt by his side,

So, they can only be more cautious now.

Unless necessary, they wouldn't reveal extraordinary coping methods.

But Aunt Liu would definitely not sit idly by and watch Yin Meng die under her watch.

Without knocking, Li Zhiyuan directly pushed the door open and entered.

Inside, Yin Meng was comatose, surrounded by a dense array of jars and bottles, making it hard for Li Zhiyuan to find a place to step.

Run Sheng came to the door, and Li Zhiyuan raised his hand, signaling him not to come in yet.

Then, Li Zhiyuan bent down, very carefully putting away these poison bottles.

Once the surrounding area was cleared, he walked over to Yin Meng, checked her condition, and found it very similar to the last time she was poisoned and comatose.

Li Zhiyuan went to a small basket, where there were some antidote bottles, their number insignificant compared to the poison bottles filling the room.

Yin Meng seemed to only like studying poisons, too lazy to concoct antidotes.

Li Zhiyuan found the bottle of antidote with an emetic effect from last time, handed it to Run Sheng, instructed him to dissolve it in hot water, administer it to Yin Meng three times a day, and also asked Run Sheng to make a trip to the health clinic to bring Lin Shuyou some clean clothes.

After doing all this, Li Zhiyuan walked out of the west room, crouched by the well, and began washing his hands repeatedly with soap.

Li Sanjiang asked with concern, "What's wrong with Meng Hou?"

"She caught a cold. It's not serious. Run Sheng is giving her medicine."

"Oh, during this season, it's easy to catch a cold."

After several washes, Li Zhiyuan still felt unsafe. He simply went upstairs and took a bath, early in the morning.

Someone like him wouldn't mind sitting down to eat right after killing someone, without feeling ominous.

But Yin Meng's poison is different.

After bathing, he came downstairs, and Aunt Liu brought over reheated porridge.

When Li Zhiyuan took the porridge bowl, he asked, "What's the harm in cold porridge?"

Aunt Liu laughed, "It won't kill you, anyway."

Li Zhiyuan felt reassured.

Alii handed him a peeled salted duck egg.

It must have been peeled entirely while she was waiting for him earlier, having nothing else to do.

Li Zhiyuan took a bite, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.

His team was almost wiped out in a day.

This is actually an inevitable phenomenon, as their strength and development had reached a certain level, pursuing rapid short-term improvement would inherently involve greater risks.

However, they indeed couldn't continue their reckless antics, as freedom also has its limits.

It was time to set some rules, allowing them to have their ideas, but before trying, they must report to him for review.

Luckily, they were now in a period of relative calm.

While Li Zhiyuan was eating, he saw Grandmaster getting ready to go out.

But Grandmaster had just reached the edge of the dam when he saw a young man in his twenties riding a bicycle over.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li."

"Who are you?"

"I'm from Sanxin Village, I'm the third Hou of the Wu family!"

Being the third Hou indicated the young man was the third child in his family.
