Chapter 29 What are you babbling about?

Master Sangbiao stood with his four legs on Lu Chi's two shoulders, his belly resting on Lu Chi's head, like a tiger crouching in the mountains, unmoving, like a supervisory team. Lu Chi, with a cat on his head and a stolen rabbit in his hand, pinched a small razor blade and slit open the rabbit's neck, then moved downwards—

"Rip!"

A rabbit skin with only four hooves connected was torn off, the head and tail were removed, and the muscles connecting the hooves and legs were separated with a small knife. The whole rabbit was then thrown into a basin of water.

A group of people stood at the kitchen door, some looking at Lu Chi, some looking at Sang Biao. They all talked nonsense, but no one could actually say a coherent sentence. The events of last night were like a bizarre dream. So what was there to say? Saying that Master Sang Biao was too authoritative and that Master Lu was just a good middleman?

"To be honest, this kid's actually pretty lucky!"

Following Lu Chi's suggestion, everyone's gaze turned to Wei Shuang, who was leaning back on the sofa, panting heavily. Wei Shuang felt extremely uncomfortable under the stares of everyone, as if they were scrutinizing a rabbit from before. She had a feeling that she had already been sent away at such a young age. She struggled to tighten the blanket around herself and shakily picked up the teacup on the table: "Uh..."

Do you drink alcohol?

"Maybe...a little..."

"Go pour him some from that red bucket, so he can drink it hot."

Wei Jindong rushed over, picked up the fifty-pound briefcase, and poured out a full glass of deep yellow, dark red wine. This must be the wine he hadn't had yesterday. Wei Jindong thought to himself, "Master Lu, is there any special significance to this?"

"Nothing special!" Lu Chi pulled out the rabbit's intestines: "It was prepared by an old Chinese medicine doctor down the mountain. It contains ginseng, deer antler, deer blood, bones, and the like. It's for dispelling wind and purging evil. Hmm, he can't drink that much, just a sip or two is enough. You want to kill him?"

Wei Jindong: "Oh, oh..."

This was probably the first time in Wei Shuang's life that her own father had "toasted" her. She nervously took a sip, her lips stretching and contorting as she coughed, her face contorted in a grimace: "This...how strong is this stuff?"

"66 before soaking, that's auspicious, right?" Lu Chi thought for a moment, "After you go back, find a reliable traditional Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe some medicine to nourish your vital energy, regulate your spleen and stomach, and write down a diet plan for a year or two. You don't seem to be short of money, so I don't need to say more about these things. Long-term illness makes one a doctor, you probably know more than I do."

"Okay, okay!" Xi Ran responded quickly, her eyes still red and her makeup smudged, but her whole demeanor was completely different now, and she even managed to find the key point: "Master Lu, could you please do us another favor and give us the address and contact information of the doctor who made this medicinal wine?"

"Okay, I'll send her her WeChat contact in a bit..." Lu Chi looked up at Wei Rui: "Do you have a black cat?"

Wei Rui was stunned: "Master Lu, you can even figure this out?"

"I..." Lu Chi's eyes twitched, and he took a deep breath: "Your sweater has black cat hair stuck in it! You should let the cat stay with him for two or three months. Wait, did any cats try to play with you when you went in yesterday?"

"Yes, yes, there's a chubby orange tabby with a white face, it's super cute!"

"Take it with you."

"what?"

"I've had deworming and sterilization done every year."

"This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"

"They're all stray cats from the school. If they want to come with you, take them with you and take good care of them. Just make sure they eat better than I do here."

"Okay, okay!"

Lu Chi thought for a moment: "During holidays, we can go to places like martyrs' cemeteries in the morning to sweep the tombs and bring some good paints to do some graffiti, but we need to get their permission first..."

The Wei brothers had lost all ability to think independently. While honestly asking their questions, their thoughts unconsciously wandered: "Well, how do we get their consent? By setting out offerings? Lighting cigarettes and incense? And then observing the length of the smoke?"

"What are you mumbling about? Ask the gatekeeper, the one guarding the grave!"

"Oh, this..."

So that's what agreement meant.

Lu Chi skewered the rabbit on the grill, glanced at Wei Shuang, and asked, "That kid, what do you remember?"

Wei Shuang was feeling great now. The alcohol had already taken effect, and she felt the heaviness, coldness, and immense discomfort throughout her body rapidly subsiding. From her throat to her stomach, and then to her entire chest and abdomen, she felt warm and comfortable. Then came the hunger: "Hiccup, when you guys told me that more than half a year had passed, I was completely stunned. I really didn't know anything..."

Xi Ran said sternly, "Just answer whatever Master Lu asks you!"

"Oh..." Wei Shuang didn't dare to be nonchalant anymore; he was afraid of his mother. "I've just been incredibly unlucky. My belt snapped, I twisted my ankle while walking, a fan hit my face in class, a burst pipe clogged the toilet when I got back to the dorm—basically, all sorts of strange and bizarre things happen to me, but none of them are serious. Well, I just broke my big toe, so after I took leave, I was thinking of secretly going out with my girlfriend to clear my head and take a walk..."

Xi Ran: ─━_─━✧

"Cough cough cough..."

"Go on!"

"Then things seemed to start to go wrong. My girlfriend kept saying that I talked in my sleep at night and sleepwalked while washing my hair. One time when she woke me up, I was indeed standing in the bathroom with lipstick on my lips, but I didn't know anything about it. After a day or two, I started to faint for no reason. I would just walk and fall straight down. My last memory was that I hit my eyebrow bone and broke it. After that, I didn't remember anything at all. When I woke up, I was already here."

"Can you still contact your girlfriend?"

"Sure, she's always taken care of me, taken me to the hospital... Damn... why did she block me!"

"Regarding your situation..." Lu Chi pondered for a while, "Do you remember eating anything that tasted particularly strange? Hmm, like something that was both fragrant and foul-smelling, or something like eating certain insects raw?"

"What do you mean?"

"Normal people don't encounter these kinds of things. How many girlfriends do you have?"

"There's only one!"

"oh..."

Xi Ran sensed something was amiss: "Master Lu, do you think Xiao Shuang was set up? Or is there something wrong with his girlfriend?"

"Not necessarily, it's hard to say. A more plausible guess is that you guys have probably offended quite a few people while doing business, right? Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents." Lu Chi casually uttered some niche terms: "Anyway, you don't need to care what this thing is. In short, the probability of this thing happening is extremely small. Even the probability of someone jumping off a building and hitting you with a thud is smaller than the probability of encountering this. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of pure bad luck... Hmm... But I think this kid is obviously not at that level yet."

"Then why did she delete me?"

"Try to look on the bright side. What if she's afraid you're trying to extort money?"

"Ah..." Wei Shuang was completely stunned: "Brother, you're right, I believe you!"

I'm in high school.

"ah??"

Wei Hongbing pinched the bridge of his nose: "Um, Lu Chi, do you think there's any chance of Xiao Shuang's situation being resolved...?"

Lu Chi said, "Just be careful with the people you eat and drink with in the future. If there really is such a person, well, these kinds of people usually have an uncomfortable aura, especially when you meet them for the first time. Trust your intuition. Anyway, that's all I know. I can't help you with anything else."
