C13 Conjectures of the Martial Uncle

I couldn't bear to listen any longer, so I stood up to leave. Martial Uncle pulled on my arm, but I was forcefully pulled back by him.

Martial Uncle was still very interested, he continued to ask the Lady Boss, "Then is there anything abnormal about your daughter-in-law? Perhaps you are at odds because you have a different way of life? "

The Lady Boss thought about it and said, "Actually, it was okay when we just passed. She's pretty quiet, and thin, but she eats a lot."

"Have you eaten too much?" Martial Uncle raised his eyebrows, revealing a curious expression.

"That's right, she's the most delicious one I've ever seen. She doesn't even use our normal bowls for a single meal, eating them in such a big bowl." The Lady Boss gestured with her hand. It was around the size of a small washbasin.

When I saw Martial Uncle involuntarily nod his head when he heard this, I knew that he already had an idea.

Martial Uncle said, "Then does she not sleep much every day, and even eats at night. Sometimes, when you call for her, does she not respond?"

The Lady Boss was surprised. "How did you know? That's it. Sometimes, when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, I see a dark figure in the living room. When I turn on the light, it's her."

Martial Uncle laughed and scratched his head, saying, "I originally had a friend who seemed to lack vitamins or something like that. That's why he's like this, and he's especially thin, so no matter how much he eats, he won't get fat."

"Yes, she ate so much, but she didn't grow any meat at all. That kid is really so skinny that you can even see what bones he has. That's the kind of person those skinny bones are talking about." As the Lady Boss spoke, she gestured with her hands. It was a very vivid image.

Martial Uncle slapped his own thigh, and I knew that he had asked all that he needed to ask.

I yawned in response to the scene. "I've been busy all day and I'm tired. I'm going to bed now."

Martial Uncle also stood up and said to the Lady Boss: "Boss, can your family cook some ordinary dishes? "If you can get a few, we'll calculate them together tomorrow."

Hearing that we were making money, the Lady Boss of course was happy, so she asked us what we wanted to eat.

The Martial Uncle said: "Anything is fine, if it's just two of us, then a dozen more will do. If you are done with everything later, please help us send them to the house."

The Lady Boss agreed to go to the kitchen to clean up and cook.

Just as I wanted to ask, the Martial Uncle stopped me from doing a booing action, "Let's go upstairs first."

Upstairs in the room, the room was not very large. There were two single beds separated by a small table. The bed was covered with pink cartoon quilt, air-conditioning and television.

Martial Uncle turned on the TV. No matter how he turned on the TV, there was only one channel on TV, and it was a news channel. The sound came from a yellow plum scene, but seeing that he could not watch it, he turned it off.

We sat down beside the bed together. Martial Uncle fell backwards, rubbing his stomach and said, "I'm so hungry."

After I went to make sure the door was shut properly, I said to Martial Uncle who was on the bed: "Martial Uncle, you just spoke so much with the Lady Boss, what kind of rewards have you gotten? Tell me about it."

Martial Uncle closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep. He said, "It's nothing.

"Martial Uncle, don't keep us in suspense. Is that alright? I'm dying of curiosity, quickly tell us." I patted his belly to keep him awake.

"Don't do anything, I'm just saying that the meat that finally grew out was taken away by you." The Martial Uncle agreed.

"Old Yang's daughter is infected with a Gu, I was not sure at first. It was only when I talked to the Lady Boss that I was completely sure she was infected with a Gu." Martial Uncle said with absolute certainty.

"But, how did you know that she was afflicted with a Gu?" I still don't understand.

"Didn't Old Yang say that her daughter's whole body was on fire, but have you ever seen a burn victim who looks so white and beautiful? If her Zhang family had a prescription for treating burns properly, she would have already applied for a patent and made a lot of money!" Martial Uncle said, his stomach rumbling.

I really don't understand. It's so easy to get hungry when you're this fat.

Dang Dang Dang …

"Someone knocked on the door, and I busied myself with opening the door. It was the Lady Boss who came in with a lot of food on a tray." Wait a minute, I'll go down and get you some beer. " The Lady Boss was quite old and her movements were quite fast. In a few steps, she went downstairs.

"But the poison can make people grow new skin? I don't believe it. " After I finished speaking, I turned around to look at Martial Uncle. He had already started eating with his chopsticks.

Seeing the way he ate, I also got hungry. I sat across from him and started to eat as well. This dish was indeed quite common, but it was probably due to the fact that I was hungry, so I felt that it was especially fragrant.

Martial Uncle's mouth was full, he said unclearly: "Gu obviously can't let people regrow new skin, but some kind of spider Gu can make people's body covered with a film, just like the film you watch, people can draw their own appearance on this film."

"I don't believe it, you lied to me, if there really is such a Gu, why are there so many people going for plastic surgery?" I shook my head.

"Do you think they gave you silk for free? That Gu parasitizes in human skin and feeds on humans, the host must eat a large amount of food every day. If the worm doesn't have enough nutrition, it will crawl into the human's lungs and eat human's internal organs."

After Martial Uncle finished speaking, he picked up a piece of fried liver and placed it in his mouth to chew.

"However, in my opinion, there is more than one Gu in her body." The Martial Uncle said as if he was deep in thought.

"What?" More than one? "Then what else do you have on her?" I asked curiously.

With a thump thump, the Lady Boss came up. She placed the beer on the ground and asked, "What else? What?"

Martial Uncle laughed as he picked up a bottle of wine and used his chopsticks to open the bottle's cap: "We are saying that the food is not bad, and there is even wine, that's the best. Oh right, Boss, why have you taken so long to come up?"

"I don't have any wine at home, so I went to borrow some from other people. Let's not talk about it for now, I have to pay for it. You guys eat and drink well." The Lady Boss didn't even have time to catch her breath before she ran back down.

"If my guess is not wrong, there are three Gu on this woman's body. Each of these three Gu eats the nutrients from her body. How can such a person not be skinny?" Martial Uncle drank half a bottle of beer in a single gulp, making me want to burp.

"Which three Gu?" I also opened a bottle of beer and started drinking. I had just eaten a lot of oily food, so drinking this cold beer made me feel very comfortable.

"I'm not sure what the other two are, but I just feel that the Zhang family's adoption of Old Yang's daughter might not be because of their good intentions, but there are other secrets." The Martial Uncle said.

"Could it be that they adopted this child to test her out with a Gu?" I didn't dare believe it, but when I recalled what Old Man Yang had said about insects being used to eat rotten meat, and the huge black silkworm he had hidden away to raise, I couldn't help but be suspicious of everything.

Martial Uncle told me everything he knew and everything he guessed. He talked while drinking, and in the end, didn't know how much he drank.
