The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Chapter 1780: Craving Fish

Fu Jian’s body was immersed in formalin. Faced with such a significant event, Gu Youyou had to handle it personally.She also attempted to use surgical tools to dissect that face, but she failed.

"He sure is ruthless with himself," Searcy sneered at the corpse, "I heard from my mother before, some people, in order to make money, would cut the skin of children and then attach freshly skinned dog fur to them. They claimed to have captured a hairy wild man and charged for viewing. I guess it’s somewhat similar to this, isn’t it?"

The world, past and present, is not short of psychological deviants. Gu Youyou’s face darkened, "If that’s the case, then taking off the skin would be useless. But their method must be different than what you described, otherwise, Lun Yu wouldn’t have followed Zijin to find their senior uncle."

Searcy did not deny, gently nodding.

After a moment, she added, "After people die, customarily they should be buried at rest. But soaking him in this solution can be considered a punishment, right?"

Gu Youyou paused for a moment, but did not speak.

The enemy was right in front of her, but she had no inclination towards corpse desecration.

The legend of Wu Zixu digging graves and whipping corpses is, after all, a rare exception throughout thousands of years of history!

Gu Youyou spoke very little today, maintaining a stern expression, which made Searcy somewhat unaccustomed.

She tried to find topics to talk about with her, muttering to herself for a while, then turned the conversation to Zhu Yiping.

She said, "Do you think Jian Shiqing is your son, or is Zhu Yiping your son?"

Gu Youyou glanced at her, but did not answer.

Searcy added, "Why don’t I watch here, and you go see Zhu Yiping? Jian Shiqing ran away, you can’t see him, but maybe Zhu Yiping is your son. Actually, I think he is, it’s just..."

Searcy didn’t continue, because the result was too cruel, just like she said earlier.

Not only did she suspect it, but Jin Zijin probably also guessed it, which is why he insisted on finding Lun Yu’s senior uncle.

As for Gu Youyou, she was afraid, she didn’t dare to think about it.

Gu Youyou shook her head, but still said nothing, which was what Searcy expected.

She didn’t dare to see him, Zhu Yiping needed time to accept this, and so did she.

On the other side, Jin Luoyin had already changed the dressing for Zhu Yiping, re-bandaging the wounds on his hands.

While packing up her things, she whispered, "Mother’s medicine works well on treating burns, don’t worry, it won’t leave scars!"

Zhu Yiping looked down at his hand, after a while he quietly said, "I really want to eat fish from the Qingshui River, really want it, can you get it for me?"

Actually, he had never eaten fish, at least not in Tianhai Mountain Villa, because Fu Jian never ate fish.

He didn’t know what fish tasted like, but he knew there was a very famous Fish Manor in Beijing, and the owner was from Lotus Village, originally using fish from the Qingshui River as their raw material.

Jin Luoyin stood up holding the medical box, surprised, "Why the sudden craving for fish?"

Zhu Yiping didn’t reply, nor did he look up.

Jin Luoyin hesitated, then smiled, "Alright, I’ll have someone catch some for you!"

After she left, she remained cautious, instructing the attendant to stay with Zhu Yiping at all times, and ordering the guard to surround Zhu Yiping’s courtyard.

Zhu Yiping’s behavior made her uneasy, too calm.
