Even though Scrawny Monkey has a lot of words and doesn't treat himself as an outsider following Wu Ji and me and isn't willing to leave, at times, he would still be of use.

Although he was not a history expert, he had some understanding of the history of the place, especially the strange happenings that were recorded in the wild history records.

Seeing that we wanted to investigate the cave, he patted his chest and confirmed that he would find out the truth within a month. At that time, he would not need anything else as long as Wu Ji could teach him a thing or two.

Wu Ji, who was thinking like a fox, naturally would not agree immediately. He only said what he wanted to say, that he would discuss other things when he came out with the result.

This way, it would be much more convenient for the few of us to divide the work.

It had been three days since his return home, and he had yet to find any reliable clues regarding the Xiao Xi Kou Cavern.

The local village could be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty, but the cave was obviously older than the Qing Dynasty, so even before the village was built, Xiao Xi Kou had already existed.

The Village Chief said that according to the records of the village, the reason the first natives of the Dongkanzi Village settled down here was because of the emperor's orders. As for what the emperor's orders were, there were no more detailed records.

Moreover, so many years had passed. The youth who came to the countryside and knew of the history of the village had fought all the way to the end of the feudal superstition. The village did not have any feudal superstition that could be broken.

"That's strange. The old master would be busy every day, would he have the leisure to care about the construction of a village?" I asked curiously.

"It's not impossible." Wu Ji said thoughtfully.

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "Earlier, didn't the television also show that people guarding the tombs have been guarding that piece of land for generations, all because of the ancestor's oath to guard the tombs for their masters?"

"What you're saying is that the Emperor found something in the Xiao Xi Kou, so he sent people to build a village here. Was it to protect the Xiao Xi Kou?" I asked Wu Ji.

He nodded, confirming my conjecture, but said, "This is only a conjecture. The truth is still unknown."

The village chief pouted and said, "I have to say, who cares? After so many years had passed, I'm afraid we won't be able to find any clues. It's better to let nature take its course."

In the past few days, the village chief got annoyed from searching for information, and as for the Xiao Xi Kou, it was not much of a loss to him, so he was naturally not too concerned about it.

Actually, I think so too, but the most troublesome part is that Lu Feiyue is still sealed inside the Death Jade.

Without understanding the clues regarding Xiao Xi Kou, there should not be any way to know Lu Feiyue's origin. Could it be that he was going to force her to go overboard?

After two more days, the matter of Xiao Xi Kou still hadn't progressed much. I also gradually lost my interest, and seeing that the summer vacation was about to end, I had to return to the city to attend school again.

While he was bored to death, Scrawny Monkey suddenly came to the village.

At first, I thought this guy had brought some news, but I didn't expect him to actually ask us for help.

Scrawny Monkey had a friend who was tall and sturdy, but he had suddenly fallen ill a few days ago. Furthermore, he had gone to numerous hospitals and found no problems with it.

Right now, the doctor had no choice but to send and me to a mental hospital, so he thought that he might have gotten into trouble with some dirty stuff, so he came to beg for Wu Ji's help.

Wu Ji had not been happy the entire time with Scrawny Monkey, but when he heard about this, he did not react much, telling him to go to the mental hospital.

The talkative Wu Ji remained indifferent. In the end, the Scrawny Monkey, seeing that Wu Ji didn't have any hope of winning, turned around and looked for me to discuss, saying that his bro should have gotten some money. He said that as long as the patient is cured, money won't be a problem!

Even though I know that this money is good stuff, but I am not the type of person who opens his eyes to money. Furthermore, even Wu Ji can't do anything about it, my aunt's body isn't in a good condition recently so she definitely won't leave the village.

Just as I was apologizing for my rejection, Wu Ji, who had been indifferent all along, stood up. With his hands behind his back, he said coldly, "You can't be less than fifty thousand!"

Scrawny Monkey was stunned for a moment before understanding the meaning behind his words. I couldn't help but laugh at the side.

Although I don't care about money, there are people who treat money like their life!

As it wasn't too far away, we greeted our aunt and took a bus to Scrawny Monkey's place.

On the way, I'll ask the Scrawny Monkey to tell us what the heck is wrong with his brother, at that time we'll have to prepare ourselves mentally.

Scrawny Monkey said that his friend was called Li Tianli, and he suddenly started acting up in the middle of the night the day before yesterday.

That night, everything was normal as usual, but in the middle of the night, Li Tianli suddenly sat up. He was shocked by him and thought that he just ignored his after waking up, but after sleeping for a while, he realized that Li Tianli had not come back yet.

Since Li Tianli's personality was not strict, and his private life was chaotic, his wife thought that he went out in the middle of the night to meet his lover, and immediately went to capture him.

But when her wife went to the living room, she saw Li Tianli standing there with his head held low, eating who knows what.

Only when he didn't steal anyone did his wife feel at ease. However, she couldn't help but complain about him, saying that he ate in the middle of the night even though he was so fat.

Normally, if he said it like that, Li Tianli would definitely retort, but at that time, it was as if he did not hear his, and did not react at all, as he continued to eat with his head lowered.

His wife thought it was strange, and she was curious about what he was eating so enthusiastically, so she walked over to take a look.

This wasn't important, he had nearly been scared to death by his wife!

It turned out that Li Tianli was holding onto half of a pig's head, eating so much that his face was covered in blood, and he had eaten more than half of the pig's head!

Li Tianli's wife was so scared that he rushed out of the door, but he did not know what to do, because the Scrawny Monkey was closer to him and his wife, so he immediately called the Scrawny Monkey and said that Li Tianli was crazy.

When Scrawny Monkey went to his house, Li Tianli was still chewing on that pig's head, and his mouth was filled with flowing water.

Furthermore, no matter who Li Tianli was, he ignored them, and focused on chewing on the pig's head. Furthermore, his eyes were ruthless, as if he was going to eat someone.

Scrawny Monkey felt that Li Tianli was bewitched, and there was no other way. He knocked Li Tianli out with his pole, and he was sent to the hospital that night.

The doctor checked and found that all the organs in Li Tianli's body were very normal, there was nothing wrong with it, but after hearing that he ate pig head, he recommended that he wash the stomach first.

His stomach had been washed and he woke up the next day, but he was truly mad!

Ever since that day, Li Tianli had been crying out in hunger every day, but he refused to eat anything that was given to him.

He was unable to transfer the examination later on, but the answer he gave was similarly very healthy without any problems. As for the fact that he always said he was hungry, the doctor could not explain it either.

And because he was violent and didn't have any problems with his health, most hospitals wouldn't accept him into the hospital.

Then, when they were walking back, there was a patient's family that bought a raw cow's tail, they probably wanted to stew it to nourish the patient's body. Li Tianli didn't know why, but he found it so easily, and rushed over from far away to snatch the cow's tail from their hands, directly chewing it raw, giving the hospital's doctors and family members a fright.

The doctor suggested that he should be sent to a mental hospital as soon as possible.

However, it was of no use, as he still kept on yelling that he was hungry. But he didn't eat anything, so Scrawny Monkey tried to use raw meat to put it in front of Li Tianli, and the moment he smelled raw meat, he felt like a vicious dog pouncing on it, and would eat it raw.

His wife thought he liked meat, so she stewed it and sent it to the hospital, but he refused to eat it, only raw.

Scrawny Monkey only spoke a few sentences before sighing, saying that he had only been a brother for two days, and he did not look like a human or a ghost. Furthermore, he had invited a local great deity to watch over him, but the great deity only shook his head and left, saying that he did not care.

With no other choice, the Scrawny Monkey came to beg for us, begging Wu Ji to definitely save his brother.

I heard it strange, and I thought to myself, this must eat raw meat, what's wrong with that?

I turned to ask Wu Ji, but he had his eyes closed, looking like he was resting with his eyes closed, as if he had already made up his mind.
