bloodletting

Liu Muze looked at the little medicine he had left. If he wasted it any more, it would be gone. So he drank it himself and fed it to make sure that all the medicine was drunk. After waiting for a while, Liu Muze covered Ye Jingan's stomach with his hand. There were still worms wriggling, and his stomach had become bigger. The medicine was not working.

Liu Muzhe was also a little flustered, not knowing what to do for a moment. After much thought, he thought his blood was the only thing he could try. After becoming an Earthly Immortal, mosquitoes would no longer bite him. He had always used blood to draw talismans, but he had never tried using blood to drive away insects and save people. Perhaps it could be a viable solution.

Liu Muze cut his finger, letting blood drip into Ye Jing'an's mouth. Ye Jing'an struggled in pain, and the worms in his stomach began to stir noticeably. But it only lasted a moment before everything quieted down again.

"Great, it should work!" Liu Muzhe was not sure how much blood he needed to feed to kill all the worms. It was not convenient to cut Ye Jing'an's wrist to bleed him in the hospital, so he had to carry Ye Jing'an back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Liu Muze drank a large bottle of sugar water, cut his wrist with a sword, and dripped blood into Ye Jing'an's mouth. As the blood dripped more and more, Ye Jing'an struggled more and more, and blood splattered on the white sheets. Liu Muze held him down tightly to prevent him from moving.

The physique of an Earth Immortal is different from that of an ordinary person, and their blood coagulates extremely quickly. The five-centimeter sword wound instantly formed a dark red blood scab. Liu Muze made another cut and continued to feed him blood.

After repeating this, Ye Jingan no longer struggled as before, and his blood-spattered face gradually blurred in Liu Muze's vision...

When Ye Jingan woke up, he smacked his lips subconsciously. A strong smell of blood filled his mouth. He woke up dizzy and breathless. He opened his eyes dazedly and found that Brother Liu was sleeping on him. Ye Jingan touched Liu Muze's head, turned over and held him in his arms.

Ye Jingan opened his eyes again and saw the white bed sheet splattered with blood. He suddenly woke up, touched Liu Muze's face, and shouted, "Brother Liu, wake up!"

After shouting a few times, Liu Muze didn't respond and just lay motionless on him. Ye Jing'an hurriedly picked him up. At this time, Liu Muze's face was pale and his lips were bloodless. Ye Jing'an found more than ten bloodstains on his hands, ranging from light to dark.

Ye Jing'an stood there for a while. He helped Liu Muzhe lie on the bed in a trance, ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and saw that the corners of his mouth and both sides of his cheeks were covered with blood.

He actually drank Brother Liu's blood?

Ye Jing'an suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and sat down on the ground. After a short pause, he crawled to the bedside and touched the scabby wounds with shaking hands, muttering to himself, "What happened? What did I do? Brother Liu, wake up!"

Ye Jingan frantically searched for medicine in the room, then realized that he was not at home and had not brought any medicine with him. He gently picked up Liu Muze and wanted to take him to the hospital.

After only two steps, Ye Jingan's legs gave out and he fell to the ground, his stomach churning with nausea. He crawled to the toilet and vomited a lot of sticky liquid. "What did you eat?"

After vomiting, Ye Jing'an felt even weaker, as if he hadn't eaten for a month. Brother Liu was still unconscious from excessive blood loss. He couldn't even walk. It was wishful thinking to take Brother Liu to the hospital. He had no choice but to call Lu Yu for help: "Officer Lu, have you caught the blood baby? Brother Liu is injured, I need your help."

"We caught it. Qiu Zimu asked a tall man for help and quickly found the blood baby. It went to look for Han Xiujuan. It was really easy. I'll be here soon after we catch them all." Lu Yu said.

Hearing that Qiu Zimu and Wang Zhiyi were here, Ye Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief. With them around, the poisonous insect and the blood baby couldn't cause any trouble. He dragged himself to the bathroom, soaked a towel in warm water, and carefully wiped the blood off Liu Muze's arm. He then gave him some water to drink.

Lu Yu came quickly. Seeing Liu Muze's expression, he was stunned and asked, "What happened to Brother Liu?"

"He fainted from excessive blood loss. Officer Lu, please help me carry him down. I have no strength left." Ye Jing'an said.

"Oh, okay." Lu Yu looked at Ye Jing'an in confusion, "Weren't you bitten by the blood baby? How come you're still awake and moving around freely, and your belly isn't big?"

"Ah? What does Officer Lu mean?" Ye Jing'an looked confused.

"You don't know anything? Let's send Brother Liu to the hospital first. There are a lot of things to do. I will tell you slowly." Lu Yu said.

Ye Jingan nodded. His memory seemed to be black. But now he should think about the problem of going downstairs. Fortunately, there is an elevator, but the walk to the elevator is a bit strenuous. He had to hold on to the wall and slowly climb over.

Lu Yu waited in the elevator for a while, but didn't see Ye Jing'an come in. He stuck his head out to look. Ye Jing'an was walking slowly like a 90-year-old grandfather. Lu Yu asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? You can't even walk properly?"

"I really don't know what's wrong with me. It's like I haven't eaten for eight hundred years." Ye Jing'an said.

"Oh, I see. I guess Brother Liu didn't feed you enough, and the bugs ate up all the nutrients you had stored." Lu Yu said.

"Ah? What kind of insects are nutritious?" Ye Jingan asked.

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and gave him a strange smile: "Let's go to the hospital first and settle Brother Liu. I'll buy you a meal and tell you slowly after you finish eating."

"Why are you smiling so obscenely?" Ye Jing'an stared at him warily, feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Lu Yu smiled and refused to say anything, urging him to leave quickly.

Liu Muzhe was fine, he just fainted due to excessive blood loss. The doctor said he should get two bottles of glucose and rest in bed for a few days to recuperate.

"I bought you some food, eat quickly." Lu Yu said with a smile.

Ye Jingan smelled the aroma of the rice and dug into his mouth with his chopsticks. After finishing one portion, he still felt hungry. Looking at the lunch box that Lu Yu had left untouched on the table, Ye Jingan asked, "Officer Lu, aren't you going to eat?"

"I've eaten." Lu Yu said.

"Then why did you buy two boxes?" Ye Jing'an asked.

"Oh, both boxes are for you." Lu Yu handed over the second box.

"Wow, Officer Lu is so thoughtful. He knows that one box is not enough for me. Thank you!" Ye Jing'an said with a smile.

"Of course I know." Lu Yu laughed strangely.

Ye Jingan took two bites of his lunch box and instantly perked up. He asked Lu Yu, "What did Officer Lu just say he wanted to tell me?"

"It's about the poisonous insect. Qiu Zimu told me that the poisonous insect is parasitic and the blood baby's mouth is full of insect eggs. You must not let it bite you." Lu Yu said

Ye Jingan stopped using the chopsticks and looked at his calf: "How about biting it?"

"The worm eggs will parasitize in your stomach, reproduce in your stomach, and eat your nutrients." Lu Yu said.

"Ah?!" Ye Jing'an thought that his stomach was full of those fat worms, and he felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit out all the food he had just eaten.

"Don't feel sick first. Your stomach isn't bulging, but you're still jumping around. I guess Brother Liu has used some method to get rid of the worms for you." Lu Yu said.

Ye Jingan finally understood that Brother Liu had killed the insect with his own blood.

"There are two other people who were bitten and their condition is much worse than yours. They are now unconscious with big bellies. But Qiu Zimu is already looking for a way to get rid of the insects. If he can't find one, we can only rely on Brother Liu." Lu Yu said.

Ye Jing'an didn't say anything. If they really needed Brother Liu to help them use blood to drive out the parasites, he would never agree even if he was beaten to death.

"By the way, have the other things been resolved?" Ye Jing'an asked.

"It's almost done. The blood baby was burned by Wang Zhiyi. Han Xiujuan has confessed her guilt and explained everything about the crime." Lu Yu relayed what Han Xiujuan said to Ye Jing'an.

Han Xiujuan used the Blood Infant Gu just to take revenge on her husband. When her husband was young, he was very poor, but Han Xiujuan never left him. She invested money in his business and helped him take care of his sick mother.

Han Xiujuan never thought her husband would betray her and was very relieved. But she didn't know that her husband had been having an affair with her secretary for a long time, and by the time she found out, they were already pregnant.

Her husband claimed to be truly in love with the girl and begged Han Xiujuan to let her go. Disheartened, Han Xiujuan verbally agreed to let them go, but secretly spent several months seeking revenge. By chance, she learned about the method of seeking help from a fox fairy. She exchanged her own blood essence for the fox fairy's method of controlling the Blood Infant Gu.

Although she wasn't a Gu Master, with Yi Yuan's help, controlling the Blood Infant Gu wasn't a difficult task. Her husband had said he wanted to raise the child, so she fulfilled his wish and let him raise the Gu himself to feed the child.

"What about the other missing people?" Ye Jing'an asked curiously.

"This blood baby needs to be nourished with blood, and those people were captured to bleed it." Lu Yu said.

After listening, Ye Jingan was silent for a while and said, "If it doesn't harm others, it's fine. Her husband deserves it, and it's not bad for him to raise the child in this way."

"She killed someone and should be punished by law. It's really not worth it to give up her career for such a scumbag." Lu Yu sighed.

"I have to tell my sister, this mission is too difficult to complete." Ye Jing'an picked up the phone with a sad face, "Sister, Han Xiujuan has been caught, I don't care about other things."

"I know. She has already mortgaged the company to me. Thank you for your hard work. I have transferred some money to your account. Let's go out and have fun." Ye Jingning said.

Ye Jingan laughed dryly. He really didn't care about the money. He had a bunch of disgusting fat worms in his stomach, and he had caused Brother Liu to suffer from bloodletting and was still unconscious. Ye Jingan sighed. It was purely because of his carelessness that he was bitten by the blood baby. It was him who made Brother Liu look like this.

"Brother Liu, take care of yourself. I have to go back to the police station to handle the case." Lu Yu said.

"Okay, thank you, Officer Lu." Ye Jingan said.

"No way, I should be thanking you. You have helped me so many times. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be beaten in the police academy now." Lu Yu said with a smile.

"That's not true. Officer Lu is very powerful, but his luck is just too bad." Ye Jing'an joked.

"Haha, thank you." Lu Yu closed the door, opened it again and added, "You're lucky too, hahahahahaha..."

"Get out!" As soon as Lu Yu left, the ward became quiet.
