You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 118: Skin Turned Into Dog
Caiyi looked at the group of people in front of her, and three question marks popped up in her head.

She was stunned for a long time before she pointed at her nose.

"Ah? Looking for me?"

When she finished saying this, she could clearly see the kneeling man rubbing his knees on the ground and moving two steps towards Caiyi.

"Aunt, my father came to me in a dream last night and told me to come to you for treatment. Please save my poor child."

When Caiyi heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of Zuo Chen and Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang now had a bewildered look on his face, looking at Caiyi with a dull look in his eyes, full of questions: "Who is this eldest aunt?"

Zuo Chen nodded, indicating that Caiyi should make her own decision.

Seeing that neither of them had any intention of talking to her, Caiyi could only sigh and glance at the people in front of her.

There were three people in total: a couple, and a middle-aged man who looked similar to the man and seemed to be his brother.

The kneeling couple are dressed in silk and must be from a wealthy family in the town.

The middle-aged man was dressed like a warrior and looked like a wandering escort.

The anxious expressions on their faces did not seem fake, and they certainly did not look like they had carefully prepared for most of the day just to come over and show off to this weird guy in colorful clothes.

"You guys...tell me the details." Caiyi finally managed to say: "Tell me about the dream, too."

Seeing Caiyi agreed, the couple were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her. Then they stood up and told her their own story:
"My name is Lv Youwei, and this is my wife, Lv Lian. We are originally from Cang County, Xuzhou, and we made a living as merchants. Later, my father died, so I took my wife to Youzhou to work hard, and here we earned a certain amount of wealth by raising sheep.

"We were living a good life, so we had a son and planned to have him inherit the family business. Everything was fine, but we didn't expect some accidents to happen some time ago.

“There were a few opera troupes passing by the town. While my kid was watching the stone being crushed by his chest, they secretly drugged him and took him somewhere else.

“I asked for help everywhere and it took me seven days to find my son.

"cocoa……"

At this point, Lu Youwei could no longer speak, his voice was choked with sobs, and his wife beside him was sobbing with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that the two were speechless, the middle-aged man who looked three points like Lu Youwei finally stood up, sighed, and said:
"My nephew was put in a dog's skin and became a human dog."

Caiyi pursed her lips, not knowing how to comfort the two people in front of her.

Before they said those last few words, Caiyi had roughly guessed what was going on.

Some opera troupes are very upright and rely on their own tricks to make money by performing. They become bigger and bigger, and even set up a yard in the city and build a proper opera house. They perform in the city every day and perform for officials, making a lot of money.

However, some opera troupes thought that making money this way was too slow, so they took crooked approaches and gathered people with congenital defects to perform "a hundred ugly shows" or "rotten flower beds". They then paraded them around towns and villages, making money by showing off these people.

But how can it be so easy to find people with congenital defects?
Although some people are born with defects, their faces are really ugly. If they are put in a theatre troupe, not only can they not attract customers, they may even scare them away.

These people don't live long, and they may die from environmental or disease problems before their tour lasts long, making it difficult for them to make money.

At this point, the troupe would find ways to capture some young children and use criminal methods to artificially create some unique "landscapes".

The vase girl, the human-faced dog, the living pig tumbler, if they perform these tricks enough, there will always be people who pay money to come in and watch.

Among the places where people watch the drama, there are always some children who are alone. With just some tricks, they can be tricked into going to places where there are not many people.

This goes on and on, and the couple makes a lot of dirty money.

The couple cried for a while, and the waiter in the store saw that the customers around them were almost driven away by their crying, so he wanted to come up and persuade them. The middle-aged man glared at the waiter, who shrank aside obediently and dared not move.

After a while, they finally calmed down, and Lu Youwei continued:

"I have found many famous doctors for my child and spent a lot of money, but the means of committing evil are too sinister. Even the most famous doctor in Dongshui can't do anything. He can only prescribe a few more medicines to make my child suffer less. I see him wailing every day, and my heart aches. I want to suffer for him but I can't.

"But just last night, my father suddenly came to me in a dream. He told me that there was an aunt in Xuzhou who saved the famine in Xuzhou. She was a deity from heaven who came down to earth to save people from suffering. The aunt will come to this town tomorrow, so I looked for you everywhere in the town, and finally found you here."

At this point, Lu Youwei knelt down in front of Caiyi again and kowtowed heavily:

"Aunt, please save my child! Aunt, please save my child!"

After understanding the whole story, Caiyi looked embarrassed.

But as for the thing that creates sin, it is easy to cut the skin but difficult to grow it back!
With only this level of skill, how can she be able to handle this kind of magic?

I don't even have any idea of ​​treatment in my mind.

There was really no other choice but to turn around and look at Zuo Chen again.

Zuo Chen nodded and stood behind Caiyi with a smile:
"Don't worry, my aunt is extremely powerful. She will definitely cure your son."

Caiyi: “…” This might be Caiyi’s illusion. She always felt that as long as it involved her great aunt’s affairs, Zuo Chen would become emotional, as if he was just looking for fun.

Seeing that this matter had been agreed upon, the couple was overjoyed. After throwing half a dollar as a reward to the waiter, they immediately led Zuo Chen and his party towards their own courtyard.

Walking along the main street, Mr. Tang was behind the team. He couldn't stop looking at Cai Yi. He looked at her for a long time before cautiously approaching Zuo Chen:

"Master, what's the matter with this eldest aunt? Judging from this name, you must have done a lot in Xuzhou."

When Zuo Chen heard this, a smile full of interest immediately appeared on his face:
"You've asked the right person. Caiyi at that time was like a god descending from heaven to save people from suffering..."

Caiyi jumped directly to Zuo Chen's side, waving her arms and interrupting him:

"Old man! Don't listen to what the Taoist priest said! Most of the things at that time were done by the Taoist priest. I just helped some people heal their wounds and illnesses and distributed porridge."

Zuo Chen sighed, looking like his temper was disturbed.

However, after listening to Caiyi's words, Mr. Tang hesitated for a long time before muttering:
"She was so good at curing illnesses that she earned the name of Great Aunt. How many people did she save at that time?"

Caiyi was speechless.

To be honest, she really hasn't checked...

Later, at least half of the people in that village, which was like a small town, had been cured by her.

There should be quite a few people...

Caiyi knew that she couldn't continue talking about this matter, so she simply shut her mouth and walked there obediently.

Lu Youwei's brother turned his head slightly to look at Zuo Chen and the other two who were walking together, then came to Lu Youwei's side and said in a low voice:

"Youwei, isn't this aunt a little too young? When I heard you talk today, I thought she was an old woman, but now I see she is only in her twenties. She may not be very experienced just because she is young. Can she really cure my nephew?"

"My father told me in a dream that my aunt is indeed a young girl, and there is a Taoist priest beside her. It must be them." Lu Youwei sighed and said, "Besides, I really have no other choice now. The doctors in Dongshui City are helpless, and I can't afford the powerful people in Kyoto. Besides... my father will not harm me."

After hearing what Lu Youwei said, the brother simply kept silent and just followed the couple silently.

After passing through several alleys, we finally arrived at a large courtyard near the town. We pushed the door open and the whole room was filled with the smell of herbs, like a wall pushing us out.

Walking in despite the smell, I could see several guys busying around in the yard. Most of them were holding herbs or wooden basins filled with black water that gave off a strong pungent smell.

These people were going in and out of a house in the courtyard, and the direction from which the smell of medicine was the strongest was that house.

It was not until he saw Lu Youwei coming back that he finally stopped and saluted them.

"Aunt, this is it."

Lu Youwei made a gesture of invitation, and the group of three also entered the house.

When I first entered the house, the light was a little dim, and in addition to the strong smell of herbs, there was also a faint stench floating in the air. Overall, it didn't smell very pleasant.

Just as Caiyi was subconsciously fanning the foul air in front of her with her hands, she suddenly heard a weak child's voice:
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, you are back?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, I found a basin of water on the ground that was only at calf height. The basin was full of dark liquid that looked sticky, like mud.

In the basin was a boy lying on his back, he was no more than ten years old.

Most of his body was soaked by the black liquid, leaving only his two forelimbs and the skin of his upper body exposed.

I saw that both of his palms were sewn tightly together to make them look like animal claws, and there was a noticeable gap on his forearm. It was obvious that the joints had been fixed with wooden rivets to make them look like a dog.

All his skin from below his neck to his entire back was cut off, and layers of black dog hair could be seen on the exposed flesh.

Just one look at it makes me feel like my soul has dispersed.

Caiyi's breathing paused slightly, and she didn't know if it was because of the strong smell of medicine around her or because of the child.

Zuo Chen, who was following behind, brightened his eyes and looked at the child in the basin.

But just by taking a look, his brows immediately frowned.

Not right.

Not only did the child's body change into the shape of a dog.

Even the soul...

All mixed with canine parts!
