Chapter 474 - Chapter 474: The Meat of Tai Sui (2/2)

The man had a bizarre tumor in the left side of his abdomen.

It can’t be called a tumor, nor a nodule; it seemed like some sort of living organism parasitizing the human body.

Its composition was somewhat like that of a lazurite, but it was riddled with a large quantity of fungus.

Chen Yu didn’t hesitate; he quickly took out a silver needle and punctured the man’s chest.

The treatment method was similar to that of the young boy earlier, first to expel the toxins from the body, and then to treat the sore.

After he had applied the medicinal powder on the man, he took a scalpel from the side and sliced through the man’s abdominal cavity.

When he had been applying the medicine, he had already mixed in an anesthetic, so at this moment, the patient’s body was completely anesthetized.

Before long, Chen Yu extracted a black object the size of a baby from the patient’s body.

This thing was still wriggling when removed, a sight horrifying enough to make one’s skin crawl.

Li Guokai’s eyes were wide with shock.

“Mr. Chen, what on earth is this? How could it be in my cousin’s stomach?”

Chen Yu held the dark mass for a while, observing it, but couldn’t figure out what it was.

“Build a fire in the yard and burn this thing!”

Li Guokai did not dare to delay, quickly wrapping the object in plastic and taking it to the yard.

Chen Yu used the same method and extracted similar objects from another middle-aged man’s stomach.

Only this time, he put a small piece into a test tube as a sample.

“Mr. Li, have you noticed any abnormalities with these two cousins lately? Or have they eaten anything strange?”

Li Guokai’s eyebrows knotted in thought.

“I’m not sure about that, but lately, there’s been someone in town selling lazurite meat; many people are scrambling to buy it.”

“Lazurite meat!” Chen Yu was instantly alert, “Where is it sold? Take me there quickly!”

Without any hesitation, Li Guokai immediately led Chen Yu and Liu Zhongxiang to a shed at the back of the town.

There was a melon field in this place, and every summer, Old Man Wang would bring his son to sell melons here.

But this father and son were very shrewd, and extremely greedy. They not only set the price of watermelons very high but also demanded antiques in exchange.

One year when the town was short of water, only their watermelons could help the people of the town, but unexpectedly, they would rather let the watermelons rot in the field than bring them out to save people.

It was Liu Zhongxiang who, after much pleading, exchanged his own calligraphy and painting for fifty watermelons, which prevented a few extra deaths in the town.

When Chen Yu and his party arrived, the father and son were lying under the melon shed, comfortably eating roasted meat.

Watermelon is a seasonal fruit that is extremely inconvenient to transport.

The materials Chen Yu brought back were mostly what the town needed right now, and he wouldn’t bring back such fruits.

It seemed that someone had already traded goods for watermelons with them.

“Old Man Wang!” Liu Zhongxiang stepped forward, “This is Mr. Chen from our village, a lifesaver. He has come to inquire about lazurite.”

Old Man Wang did not even look up, stuffing a large piece of roasted meat into his mouth.

“If you want information, one piece of Gold per tidbit. If you’re buying lazurite meat, then you need five antiques. It would be better if you could exchange materials, preferably medicinal herbs.”

Chen Yu’s mouth dropped open at the man’s blatant greed!
