The inspector had never seen such a strange thing. He thought the cat had a tumor, but who would have thought that he would actually watch it turn into a pool of water.
Zhou Luancheng was stunned for a moment: "Be careful not to let it touch your skin."
The inspectors also became cautious. Who knows if these unknown things are poisonous?
He put on another layer of rubber gloves over the rubber gloves, put on another layer of mask, took a glass cover, and carefully covered the tray.
"Let's wait for my master to come and take a look."
Zhou Shixun looked at the things in the glass cover again and said, "You should sew up the cat's wound first."
The inspector didn't care about anything else and rushed to suture the cat's wound. Although he didn't ask, he knew that the cat could not die yet.
Zhou Shixun frowned as he and Zhou Luancheng watched the inspector sew up the cat's wound. An hour later, the calico cat slowly woke up. It looked listless as it had just undergone surgery.
Zhou Shixun and Zhou Luancheng waited for more than an hour. Seeing the cat lying on the operating table without any energy, Zhou Luancheng was a little worried: "Can it survive in this state?"
As he spoke, he pulled the cat's ears with tweezers. The cat raised its eyelids, then lay down again with its head lowered.
Zhou Shixun made sure the cat was alive before he turned around and left the laboratory. Zhou Luancheng quickly followed him out: "What exactly are those tumor-like things? And these things, are they related to Li Ergeng?"
"It must be related. These things are most likely a kind of medicine that Li Ergeng keeps on his cats."
Zhou Shixun frowned: "Many of them play with some strange poisons, and will feed them into small animals. When the time comes, they can be taken out and turned into tools for killing people."
Zhou Luancheng was a little puzzled: "If it is poisonous, why is the cat not in danger of death?"
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "Let's talk about it after the test. I'm going to go back first. Take good care of this cat. Don't let it die or get lost."
Zhou Luancheng nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange someone to watch over it."
If the cat was really raised by Li Ergeng, he would definitely be reluctant to part with it.
When Zhou Shixun returned home, dinner had already been served at home. The three children followed Zhou Hongyun to bed. Only Sheng Anning was still sitting in the yard, reading a book and waiting for him.
Seeing him coming back, she quickly got up and whispered, "Why did you come back just now? Haven't you eaten yet? There's still rice in the pot. I'll go heat it up for you."
Zhou Shixun nodded and followed Sheng Anning to the kitchen. The two of them were afraid of disturbing Zhou Nanguang and Zhong Wenqing, so they moved very quietly.
Sheng Anning turned on the gas stove and asked Zhou Shixun: "What happened to the cat? Does it have a tumor? I don't think so."
Zhou Shixun washed his hands and looked over, raising his eyebrows at Sheng Anning: "Why do you think so?"
Sheng An Ning nodded his chin: "Think about it, animals are just like humans. If they have a tumor, they will definitely be in a bad mood, which will be reflected in their appearance and spirit. The calico cat's fur is too shiny, and it looks more energetic than a healthy cat. The fur is so shiny and smooth, how can it look like it's sick?"
"If it was really a tumor, and there were so many of them, the cat would have been skin and bones, and most of its fur would have fallen off. I thought about it today, the cat is still in such good condition with such a large tumor, and there are so many of them, so it's not a tumor. Instead, these things are nourishing the cat."
He frowned and thought: "What could it be?"
Zhou Shixun didn't expect Sheng Anning's analysis to be so thorough: "This cat is raised by Li Ergeng. I'm afraid only he knows the secret inside."
Sheng An Ning nodded: "I also remembered one thing. When I was in Longbei City before, my grandfather came to see me and stuffed a wooden box into my hand. Inside was some of my grandmother's manuscripts."
"She was a doctor with great medical skills, so her manuscripts recorded a lot of analysis of difficult and complicated diseases. I would take a look at them when I have nothing to do. I once read a diary that said that in southern Yunnan, there was a kind of thing similar to a Gu worm that was raised in the body of an animal and nourished by the animal's blood, and it also nourished the animal at the same time."
"It's like, the animal's body is its mother, but after separation, both will die."
Zhou Shixun was surprised: "Is there really such a record?"
Sheng An Ning nodded: "I also thought it was magical when I read it before. I have always heard about the poisonous insects in southern Yunnan and western Hunan driving corpses. I didn't expect that it was all in the manuscript. However, it was also heard by my grandmother, and I didn't see it with my own eyes, so it didn't say how to treat it. It just said that this kind of thing is evil and vicious. It's okay if it attaches to animals, but if it attaches to humans, it will kill them."
Zhou Shixun frowned, it seemed that this was the thing on the cat.
This is just as he guessed: "Li Ergeng is using the things in here to harm people."
Sheng An Ning couldn't figure it out: "Why did he kill so many people?"
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "Only he can know."
While they were talking, the rice in the pot was heated up. Sheng An Ning accompanied Zhou Shixun in the kitchen to finish their meal. After they cleaned up the dishes, they came out of the kitchen quietly.
Just as I was about to cross the corridor to the backyard, I heard the door next to me creak open. Mo Mo was standing on the ground with his bare feet, holding his little pillow in his arms.
Looking at dad and mom eagerly.
Sheng An Ning stopped and looked at Mo Mo, who looked like a pitiful little thing. She wanted to laugh, so she went over and picked him up quietly. She heard that the room was very quiet, with the occasional snoring of Zhou Hongyun.
After making sure that An An and Zhou Zhou did not follow him, he reached out and gently closed the door.
Zhou Shixun also came over, took Mo Mo from his hand, and walked towards the backyard with Sheng An Ning.
After taking a few steps, I heard a sharp scream from a cat, like the cry of a cat in spring.
It's a bit creepy in the dark night.
Sheng An Ning felt her scalp tingling. She moved closer to Zhou Shixun, stretched out her hand and tightly held his arm, muttering softly: "It's spring, there are so many night cats around here, and there's a commotion almost every night."
Sometimes I am sleeping soundly, but I am woken up by the cat's meowing.
Zhou Shixun suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the cat's cry. It was too dark at night and he could not see anything except the dim shadows of the trees.
He stuffed Mo Mo into Sheng An Ning's arms and said, "You go back to the house first, I'll go take a look, I think I know where Li Ergeng is hiding."
