Chapter 7, Li Family Cemetery

Professor Sun's unique method of preparing boiled fish is quite distinct. He first heats the pot with scallions and ginger, then adds clear water, and places the two remaining carp whole into the water to simmer, surprisingly without removing the scales, gills, or entrails.

How is your family

This is a secluded courtyard with three bungalows, where a plum tree blooms with white flowers. There is a hidden path by the Yellow River leading to the old home, and people never plant such trees in the courtyard. As the saying goes, "Peach nurtures life, apricot harms life, and under the plum tree, the dead are buried," which is considered very inauspicious

There is a vague sense that something is amiss, though it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what it is. In any case, since Professor Sun is a descendant of the Medicine King and knows the whereabouts of the Medicine King's tomb, there is absolutely no reason for him to come to Lijia Gou to excavate the tomb

There are good points to consider

Is his home not here

We are returning to the capital city," Liu Shisan instructed.

A plump and sluggish black old mother cat lay lazily on the wooden box, glancing with indifference as she rolled her eyes, resembling the one in the photograph

Is it Li Jizu

Liu Shisan pondered silently and said, "It is too early to draw conclusions now; let us go and take a look at the tomb."

She is Liao Shenpo, who had already lost her soul at Foyasi. Her corpse was tampered with by Professor Sun, allowing a cat demon to possess her, which is why her voice sounds so strange

Two individuals waited in the forest, and after approximately one hour, the figure of Professor Sun, carrying a hoe, appeared under the moonlight

As Liang pushed open the door, he couldn't help but be taken aback; inside were seven or eight small black cats staring at him warily, with feces and urine scattered all over the floor, and a strong stench wafting towards him

After arriving in the capital, it was already late at night. The two of them returned to the East Wind Inn and fell asleep immediately

The moonlight is cool, the mountain breeze is gentle, and Er Ya lies in a deep sleep on the desolate grave, everything at hetushu.com appears exceedingly strange

Yang Liang also brought his nose close to Er Ya's face and took a few deep breaths.

"Why do I smell a faint aroma of meat?" Liang muttered to himself

They are all dead, Professor Sun said淡淡.

Studying alone in a foreign place is not easy, where are you living now

To preserve the original flavor of the fish, he explained

"Dear ones, it's time to eat," Professor Sun called out warmly, casually tossing two large carp into the water

What is he looking for?" asked Liang softly

There was no reason to refuse, only to follow him out of the school, heading west towards the overpass. Outside the market, there were vendors selling live carp from the Guanting Reservoir. Professor Sun bought four, weighing a total of twenty pounds, and Youliang thought about how many people that would feed

During the process of stewing the fish, Professor Liangwen Sun asked, "The cat in the photo on the wall is the old female cat in the house, isn't it?"

The lights in the village homes were all lit, and with such a strange occurrence, both adults and children could not sleep. Before long, the rooster crowed at dawn, and the eastern sky began to show a hint of white.

In the frame on the wall is a large photograph, in which Professor Sun, with a beaming smile, is holding a plump black cat, surrounded by a group of playful kittens, creating a warm and joyful scene

I heard that classmate Liang has not been feeling well these past few days, is that true?" After class, Professor Sun stopped him to ask.

So many strange occurrences have happened tonight, evoking an unparalleled sense of novelty and excitement

"Yes, Professor"

Underground Hostel

She has been bitten to death by the dogs in the village and was burned in a fire

Let me take a look, Professor Sun opened the left eyelid of Youliang, shone a flashlight and said, It seems there is a problem with the optic nerve and the retina, you should go to the ophthalmology department for a thorough examination

Is the left eye atrophied, resulting in blindness

Master, what is that chilling cry?

Professor Sun lives alone on the overpass, not far from the school. Go on, it's time for class.

Before long, the fish in the pot had been stewed to perfection, served in an enamel basin and placed on the table, emitting a rather pleasant aroma

A group of strong villagers, led by Old Man Li, armed with hoes and shovels, left the village and headed along the mountain path towards the ancestral graveyard, likely realizing that there was an issue with the graveyard after hearing about Er Ya's strange encounter

According to Liu Shisan, Er Ya's father did not die from a gas leak explosion, but was murdered. Of course, Professor Sun is the prime suspect, as he instructed Liao Shenpo to communicate with the Li family, seemingly wanting to uncover something. Upon hearing that Liao Shenpo had already died, he hurriedly went to Li Jiagou to use the 'Cat Demon' to possess her corpse. After that, he made Li Er Ya dazed and took her to the graveyard. Who exactly is this Professor Sun, and what does he intend to do?

On the train returning to Beijing, Liu Shisan explained: "I have been monitoring Sun Yifeng in the capital since last year. When I discovered his interactions with migrant workers from Hanzhong, I sensed something unusual. I intended to conduct a deeper investigation, but unexpectedly, that migrant worker suddenly died."

"Good child, come here, the sweater is almost finished, try it on for size." Sister Du said as she took the half-knitted sweater and put it on him, and it fit perfectly.

The two individuals returned to the cypress forest, continuing to observe the activities in the village

I live alone and have raised some cats for companionship Professor Sun smiled shyly

Liu Shisan, similarly filled with doubts, said: "Let us also leave."

"Are you feeling alright?" Sister Du asked with a look of surprise and concern

While waiting for the master to administer the needle, Liu Shisan took out a cloth pouch and extracted a silver needle, piercing it into the ghost heart acupoint located at the back of Li Erya's right palm. After gently twisting it twice, he withdrew the needle and said, "Let’s go, we should avoid this for the time being." With that, he pulled Youliang and hid into the woods.

Conscience is absent, and my mind is filled with that night in Lijia Gou, so many mysteries; thus, I only grasped a fragment of this lesson.

Good eyesight," Professor Sun nodded, "Those are all her children, quite mischievous.

He has returned, and today is the day he will give his lecture

The bell rang, and Sun Yifeng walked into the classroom, appearing somewhat fatigued and in a daze

"How delightful." Professor Sun said affectionately from behind.

The following afternoon, Liang returned to class again

Sister Du, has Professor Sun returned?

"Students, I will not be here for the next two days. You have learned about the twelve primary meridians and acupoints; today, we will continue with the explanation of the eight extraordinary meridians," Professor Sun said, casting a glance at Youliang, whether intentionally or not.

Gazing at the swollen belly of the fish, the thought of the intestines and fish waste still inside evokes a sense of nausea. However, the aroma of the fish meat wafting through my nose is enticing. It seems that my years of vegetarianism have left me quite starved.

Upon entering the room, the interior arrangement is quite simple. Apart from some books on traditional Chinese medicine on the bookshelf and a few tables and chairs, there is hardly any excess furniture.

There was a moment of surprise upon hearing the good news

Sun Yifeng has already looked into it, but it seems he hasn't found anything

After hearing a "thud," they had already dug down to the coffin. Professor Sun cleared away some loose soil, and then mhetushucomcom forcefully pried open the coffin lid and jumped in to search for a while. However, it seemed that nothing was found. In the end, feeling disappointed, he stood there in a daze, stamped his foot, threw down the hoe, and turned to leave.

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to speak, I refrained from asking further questions

We will wait here; if I am not mistaken, Sun Yifeng will be arriving shortly said Liu Shisan thoughtfully

The black cats suddenly roared and began to fight over each other, creating a chaotic scene. In the end, the mother cat leaped up, taking advantage of her size to carry a large carp to the top of the box and enjoy it alone, while the kittens continued to scramble and compete with one another.

The wild carp entrails from the Guanting Reservoir are very clean, offering a unique flavor. Professor Sun extended his chopsticks to pierce the fish's belly, pulling out a mass of intestines wrapped in fat and stuffing it into his mouth, causing green juices to splatter as he chewed, making sounds of admiration.

After passing through several narrow alleys, I finally arrived at Professor Sun's home

The two individuals arrived at the earthen mound, where the coffin of Li Jizu had already been opened. An urn lay with its lid ajar, containing some grayish-white ashes.

Li Er Ya slowly woke up, rubbed her eyes, looked around in confusion, and then stood up, running in terror towards the village

Indeed, it was Li Er Ya's father, who reportedly died in an explosion caused by a gas leak. What a coincidence! Old man Li and his grandson came to Beijing to retrieve the ashes, and shortly after, his grandson Yi Feng took leave. I quietly followed them to Hanzhong. He found a medium in Liuba County, known as Liao Shen Po, who was to perform a séance for the Li family, inviting the spirit to possess a body and communicate with them. However, Liao Shen Po herself met her demise, and subsequently, her spirit entered Li Er Ya's body. In Hanzhong, many people fall in love during spring, and the hospital only prescribed some sleeping pills, which were of little use. Therefore, old man Li took his granddaughter to Tongguan for medical treatment, while I arrived first at Foyasi.

"What is wrong with your eyes?" Professor Sun suddenly said

Are you the only one in the capital city

Oh. "There is good, casually brushing it off.

Professor, how is your family

Yes, it has already gone blind. Thinking about it, one feels a deep resentment; if Liu Shisan had made it clear in advance, he would not have gone to open that so-called "Tianmu".

Oh, the conditions of the civil air defense project renovation are quite poor, and there is no sunlight. It's also troublesome to have meals. Come on, let's go to my house for a visit. I will treat you to the teacher's specialty, boiled fish. Anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, and there are no classes.

Meow... A soft meowing sound came from the inner room, possibly because it heard its owner returning

Professor Sun, do you know about the 'Shike Needle'?" asked Liang tentatively

Liu Shisan straightened his face and said: "Hmph, that is because you, little monk, have never come into contact with women."

Where is Liao Shenpo

He cautiously looked around, slowly approached Li Jizu's grave, then kicked over the tombstone, spat twice into his palm, and began to throw dirt with a pickaxe.

Having some fish and meat from the side, the flavors indeed burst forth, and the taste is exceptionally authentic

In the forest, Liu Shisan gently said, "Professor Sun seems to be returning empty-handed"

It is hard to tell that Professor Sun is already over sixty years old; his physique is quite slender, yet he possesses such great strength. Without hardly any rest, he managed to dig a large pit in just a moment.

"You are welcome here, so please don't be polite. Eat while it's hot." Professor Sun poured two glasses of Erguotou.

"It's nothing, I don't want to miss class." This is a good response
