Chapter 443 Must Contain a Mystery
"What news?" Lu Qingqing asked anxiously.
Lu Yun: "Xiao Zhang has found out what kind of eagle it is. It's called a dog-headed vulture. It likes to eat carrion and generally doesn't attack living people or animals. It only hunts walking prey when it's extremely hungry."
The gull-headed vulture primarily inhabits the area between the northwest and the Shabai Mountains, so he has already led his men westward from Gucheng in search of it.
A vulture is just a common vulture!
It is indeed an ecological "cleaner," feeding on carrion.
“I remember that vultures like to roost in wide streams and grasslands, and at the edge of forests. They shouldn’t be on the top of high peaks. These are the places they can focus on looking for.”
"Okay, I'll inform them."
Lu Yun left in a hurry again.
Lu Qingqing returned to her residence, took out paper and pen, and drew an adult vulture.
With its wings spread, it is two to three meters long.
It kidnapped Ji Ruyan.
Was Ji Ruyan dead or alive at that time?
Has he eaten it yet?
Vultures have an exceptionally powerful digestive system; their stomach acid is ten times stronger than that of humans, allowing them to digest even bones.
If it gets eaten, there won't even be a trace left.
Lu Qingqing stared at the vulture until her eyes ached.
After a long while, my chaotic mind finally stopped its random thoughts and slowly, methodically, began to function again.
Since Ji Ruyan disappeared, she appeared calm on the surface but was panicking inside. As she searched day by day, her anxiety and confusion gradually grew.
All the collapses were concealed beneath a well-restrained exterior.
But only she knew that as time passed, as she searched inch by inch, traversing mountains and valleys without finding a trace, her rationality had long since crumbled.
Her mind had already shut down.
She didn't know what to do, or how to find someone.
Aimless.
Until today, I have finally regained my senses completely.
We still need to search, to every nook and cranny, to search every corner.
Use every ounce of strength to treat every scattered clue and every glimmer of hope as a guide to victory.
Leave nothing out, give up nothing.
We will stop once we have traversed these thousands of miles of mountains.
At that time, if she couldn't find it, she would accept it calmly: human effort has its limits, and fate is hard to defy.
"Someone come here."
She called someone in and handed him the drawing of the vulture.
“From Gucheng eastward to our Fancheng, everyone set off. Half of them went up the mountain to search for people, and the other half asked the mountain people at the foot of the mountain if anyone had seen this giant eagle.”
This mountain range stretches from Fancheng all the way to Shabai Mountain.
Although vultures live in the northwest to the area of Shabai Mountain, there might be an exception, so we must look in the east.
After sending everyone out, Lu Qingqing began to peruse her collection of thousands of medical books.
She would stay in the library for half a day at a time.
Feng Xiaowan paced anxiously outside.
After Lu Qingqing finished checking the information, she came out and saw Lu Qingqing's sunken eyes. She smiled at her and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. Lu Qingqing can't be crushed."
Her voice was powerful, and her eyes were focused, like a green bamboo that had been battered by wind and rain but bounced back straight and tall, resilient, unyielding, and fearless of anything.
Feng Xiaowan was relieved.
She knew that Lu Qingqing, who was fearless and always striding forward, had returned!
"Okay, okay." Feng Xiaowan rubbed her face.
"Then I'll go give your older brother a massage."
"Yes, I'll go find Master Wang and Master Meng. I just looked at a few methods of reverse acupuncture. I'll discuss with them whether it's feasible. If it is, I'll try it on my elder brother."
...
A few days later, Lu Qingqing added a few more needles to her "Even if the King of Hell comes, he can't be taken away" acupuncture technique.
After the acupuncture was performed on Lu Feng, the meridians in Lu Feng's upper arm, which had been unresponsive, showed a momentary fluctuation.
Everyone was overjoyed, seeing a glimmer of hope in what had been a time of waiting for death.
Lu Qingqing continued to administer acupuncture, change medications, and even made a rehabilitation tool that allowed people to exercise upright.
Every day, Lu Feng is strapped to the frame and forced to stand upright for the duration of an incense stick burning.
Later, it became half an hour.
Half a month later, Lu Feng's withered skin began to regain its luster, and his body stopped losing weight.
Lu Qingqing had originally predicted that he would die silently in another month.
He can still live!
As long as he doesn't die, he has hope of waking up!
Everyone perked up, and Feng Xiaowan smiled.
Xibao often comes over to play with her dad.
Apart from the fact that the person was still unconscious, Lu Qingqing felt as if she had returned to the way she used to be at home.
Laughter and cheerful voices could be heard from time to time.
She felt that if things continued like this, Lu Feng's body could regain some vitality.
So when he wakes up, all he needs is a trigger.
Lu Qingqing continued to study medical books every day, then discussed them with the teachers, and conducted experiments. If there were no problems, she would use the medicine on Lu Feng...
Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The coldest days of winter are over, and the weather is warming up.
Zhang Lin reported that quite a few gull-headed vultures had been found, but none of them were the one he had seen.
The one he saw had a ring of white feathers around its wings.
As for a human figure, they didn't even touch one.
As time went on, the Prince of Qing'an could no longer sit still and sent many people to search for them secretly.
The calls for his succession in the court grew louder and louder. Under pressure, he announced that if the crown prince had not recovered by April, he would ascend the throne.
April, Qingming Festival.
Rebirth, hope, and the revival of all things.
The swallows (inkstone) have returned.
Lu Qingqing sighed for a long time.
Prince Qing'an actually cares for Ji Ruyan so much!
Not his biological father, but better than his own!
Good dad!
Oh no, good uncle!
Such kinship is rare and precious in the royal family.
By mid-March, news finally came again.
This news brought a glimmer of hope to Ben's once again desperate situation.
In the mountains only two hundred miles from Fancheng, some mountain people claim to have seen vultures!
The vultures aren't actually in the northwest, but rather in the inland areas slightly to the west!
Why?
Strange.
There must be a hidden reason behind strange occurrences!
This time, Lu Qingqing is going in person!
