When I woke up again, I learned that Mr. Yu and his wife were originally Chinese medicine practitioners, and the wife who was pregnant three years ago had cancer and had to beat up the child, and then Mr. Yu strangled her, because he thought that every day he talked to his wife and used Chinese medicine to bathe and massage her, and the soul left in the body would wake up.
