The Desire For Food

Just as he was guessing, Constable Li woke up.

Before he could open his eyes, a series of cream spilled out of his mouth. His face was scrunched up, and he was obviously in extreme pain.

"Constable Li, please wake up. What happened just now? Who attacked you?"

Advisor Hu asked impatiently.

"What happened? What's wrong with me?"

Constable Li finally came back to his senses after being called a few times. However, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't even understand what Advisor Hu meant by his question.

He watched Advisor Hu's mouth open and close, trying to help him understand Advisor Hu's meaning through his gaze.

"Have you forgotten what you came here for?"

The county magistrate had also noticed that something was wrong with him. He was in a daze, and his eyes were sometimes in a state of emptiness.

"My Lord, did this subordinate accept a mission? I remember it was still daytime just now. How come it's so late now?"
