Hearing that she was actually hit by Gu, Sister-in-law Lin's whole person was like dead, she grabbed Shi Luo hard but couldn't say a word, and the pleading in her eyes felt unbearable for anyone who looked at it.

Sister-in-law Lin's husband also looked at Shi Luo, hoping that Shi Luo would tell him that what Su Fei said was not true before, but Shi Luo sighed and nodded: "Actually, I found out a long time ago, you were indeed hit by Gu." ”

Sister-in-law Lin was instantly drained of all her strength, and lay on the bed like a dead end, and even the pain that was originally pressed down immediately showed signs of recurrence, and cold sweat began to flow down again.

"Let me die. Sister-in-law Lin cried urgently, but as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately shook her head: "No, I can't die!

According to ancient legends, once a Gu is planted, it is difficult to leave, and if the Gu witch who planted the Gu does not take back the Gu worm in time after the death of the host, the Gu worm will look for the younger generation who is related to the original host to inherit it.

If Sister-in-law Lin died, then this Gu worm would probably be passed on to her daughter.

Sister-in-law Lin's husband was also anxious, he fell to his knees with a puff, and kowtowed to Shi Luo: "Village chief, please save her, please!"

"Let's get up first. ”

Shi Luo spoke, Xie Yufei and Hu Mang hurriedly stepped forward to help Sister-in-law Lin's husband up, Shi Luo muttered: "After I found out, I also searched through the medical skills left by my ancestors, but unfortunately I didn't find a way to get rid of this Gu worm." Otherwise, it wouldn't have been dragged on like this. ”

There was an instant air of death in the room, and even the village chief, who had always been respected, couldn't do anything, so wouldn't this family be saved.

"Otherwise......" Sister-in-law Lin seemed to be about to stop: "Otherwise, let's go find the Jiang family behind the mountain bridge, they may ......"

Sister-in-law Lin's husband immediately refuted: "No, you don't know what kind of people they are! Don't forget what happened in the village two years ago, otherwise they wouldn't have been driven to the side of the mountain bridge!"

The corners of Su Fei's eyebrows were inadvertently raised, so the people who came to the side of the mountain bridge were called the Jiang family, and they themselves were probably Gu witches with a heritage, otherwise how could the people in the village reject and fear them so much.

Su Fei gave Xie Yufei and Hu Mang a look and told them not to speak.

Shi Luo was also pondering, and finally said: "I will go up to Lao Jiang in person now and ask him to treat Sister-in-law Lin, they should not make a move on me." ”

"Village chief!" Sister-in-law Lin and her husband's eyes rekindled hope, but her husband stopped talking, and seemed to be a little worried about Shi Luo's comfort.

Shi Luo immediately packed his things and prepared to go up the mountain overnight, and before he walked up the mountain road, Su Fei suddenly ran from the rear quickly: "Old man, I'll go with you." ”

Shi Luo shook his head and sternly refused: "Su Fei, don't go, they won't do anything to me, but not necessarily to you, the Jiang family is very conservative, and they all agree that the mutation in the swamp is caused by the arrival of you outsiders, so they are very hateful to outsiders." ”

"It's okay, I'm not afraid. Su Fei patted his chest and said with a smile: "I just want to see it, and I know that Gu worms generally live in women's bodies, I am a man, and I don't have children, so I don't have that worry." ”

"But ......"

"Don't worry, I have my own precautions, I've seen these things last time. ”

Su Fei said that he didn't want to leave, and Shi Luo had no choice but to tell Su Fei some precautions, Su Fei asked Xie Yufei and Hu Mang to stay at the bottom of the mountain with peace of mind, and then walked towards the mountain with Shi Luo.

The mountain village was originally not big, and the matter of Sister-in-law Lin spread quickly. Shi Luo and Su Fei walked to the top of the mountain, and the Dong and Shui tribesmen who lived here on the mountain road along the way couldn't help but poke their heads out of their respective stilted buildings to look at this side, and occasionally brave men walked to the side of the road to talk to each other.

But no matter what, no one stepped forward to talk to Shi Luo and Su Fei, as if the two of them had something on them that they couldn't avoid.

Su Fei looked around at the villagers, everyone would turn their eyes away from him before Su Fei looked at him, as if they would be infected by something. Su Fei lowered his voice and Shi Luo asked, "Have the villagers always been so afraid of Gu poison?"

"It wasn't like this in the past, hey, it's actually a misunderstanding in the past. ”

"Can you tell me about it?"

Shi Luo saw Su Fei asking, thinking that Su Fei was also going to the side of the mountain bridge, so he nodded: "It's okay to tell you." In fact, our Miao people and the Jiang family are also Miao people, but we belong to the white Miao family, and the Jiang family belongs to the Jiugu Miao family, which is commonly known as "black Miao". ”

"In the past, our ancestors of the four ethnic groups did not live here, but on the edge of the swamp. Although everyone knows that the Jiang family is a family of Gu witch inheritance, they have lived with us for generations, and most of the Gu they raise are used to repel insects and miasma, which is beneficial to the whole village, so everyone is also very harmonious with each other. ”

"But as outsiders began to venture into the swamp, the swamp became dangerous, and strange things happened so often that we had to move out of the ancestral land. This made the Jiang family more and more dissatisfied with outsiders. He also began to show hostility towards outsiders. ”

"A few young people from outside came here to play, but after going out and coming back, they found that they were parasitized by Gu worms in the wild, and we asked the Jiang family to come over to help detoxify, but the Jiang family was unwilling to make a move, and the young man's companion was furious. said that this Gu was ordered by the Jiang family, and forced the Jiang family to give them a Gu solution. ”

In the end, the Jiang family did not make a move, and the two sides broke up, but this rumor gradually spread in the village, and many people began to believe what those young people said, and the eyes of the Jiang family began to change. ”

Later, the Jiang family found that the village could no longer accommodate them, so they consciously moved to the side of the mountain bridge, and only came down to meet other people during the New Year's festival or when they went out to buy, and lived on the top of the mountain by themselves the rest of the time. ”

Su Fei groaned slightly: "That...... Is that Gu the last one from the Jiang family?"

"No, I can guarantee this, the old Jiang family is not that kind of person, although they hate outsiders, but they don't bother to do this kind of harmful thing. Shi Luo sighed: "But now that the villagers think so, I, the village chief, can't persuade everyone to change their impression of the Jiang family." ”

Su Fei suddenly thought of something, and took out the bottle of powder that Shi Luo had mixed with Suo Zi as the main medicine from his body: "Let me guess, so everyone in the village sprinkled this powder on the windowsill and door cracks at night, in fact, it is not just to repel mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, but also to prevent Gu?"

Shi Luo snorted, his expression solemn.

For a village chief, nothing worries him more than the direct estrangement of the villagers.

Along the way, Su Fei also asked some other questions, it turned out that Shi Luo's ancestor was still a well-known local Miao doctor, but it was a pity that Shi Luo's father's generation did not inherit the skills of his ancestors, and now there are only a bunch of medical books left, and he has not been able to inherit the ancestral business, which is also a big regret in Shi Luo's heart.

Turning right from the mountain road in front of him, pushing aside the dense weeds, Su Fei finally saw what the villagers called the mountain bridge.

The entire bridge is only about 50 meters, spanning between the mountain streams, worthy of the name of the mountain crossing. There was bottomless darkness below, but there was the sound of running water.

The bridge is made of classic mortise and tenon structure, and most of the wood used is pine wood in the mountains, and occasionally cypress wood is mixed in it. Although old, they are no less robust than modern bridges. And every design highlights the folk customs of Miao Jiang's generation, which is really unique from this point of view.

There are red ropes hanging on the railings on both sides of the bridge, and each red rope is strung with red sachets, and there are hundreds. Most of the sachets have faded, but some are still brand new.

"This mountain bridge is also the marriage bridge of our village, on the day of the marriage of men and women, they will come here, show their names on the silk and stuff them into the sachet, and tie the sachet to the red rope, in order to seek harmony and beauty, for a long time. Of course, there are also divorces or marriages in our village, and this kind of sachet cannot be left on the mountain bridge, and it has to be taken off. ”

"Actually, I envy you, in our city, you don't say anything when you get married now, and talk about the dowry first, and the bride price is hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands, plus you have a house and a car, you basically have to go out millions. It doesn't look like marriage at all, it's more like trying to sell his daughter for a good price. Where can ordinary people afford it? ”

Su Fei walked slowly past the bridge, and at his feet were faded sachets, as if he was emotional.

Walking to the head of the bridge, Shi Luo specially stopped and personally sprinkled Su Fei with the medicinal powder, Su Fei knew that this was Shi Luo's kindness, and he didn't stop it, anyway, this thing is actually extremely toxic when applied to the skin, but the feeling of numbness is really not very pleasant.

Different from the mountainside and the bottom of the mountain, the top of the hill where the Jiang family is located is sparsely populated, and there are only a dozen or so stilted buildings at a glance, and the combined men and women plus the children are probably only forty or fifty people.

The indifferent expression that Su Fei saw at the beginning was standing at the entrance of the residential area, and behind him were six or seven young strong men with the same indifferent expressions, looking at Su Fei without hiding his hostility at all.

"Shiro, I didn't expect you to actually come to me. Jiang Chao had a handful of gray beard hanging down to his chest, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon, and on him, Su Fei felt an obscure and cold aura, and after careful identification, Su Fei found that it was not him who was cold, but something on his body.

"Probably Gu worms?" Su Fei muttered to himself.

Shi Luo stepped forward and saluted with Miao Jiang's unique gesture: "Old Jiang, I have no choice but to ask you to go down the mountain this time." ”

Jiang Chao didn't answer directly, but glanced at Su Fei with a scrutinizing gaze: "You should know that our Jiang family doesn't like outsiders, aren't you afraid of the same kind of thing when you bring him up?"

Back then?

Su Fei thought about it, it seems that the Jiang family was extremely disappointed in the people in the entire village, otherwise they would not have moved their family to live here on the side of the mountain bridge and would no longer have contact with other people.

"Jiang Chao, I know you're not someone who messes around. I know very well what happened back then. Shi Luoyou took a step forward and looked at Jiang Chao earnestly: "This time I really have no choice, Lin Zi's Gu poison will attack tonight, faster and more ruthless than in the past, I'm afraid she won't be able to resist next time." ”

Jiang Chao sneered: "So what, the common situation of birth, old age, sickness and death, you should have known that there would be this consequence when you let those outsiders into the village!"

"The old woman next to that young man is very powerful, it is the Gu she gave to Aunt Lin. But you don't have to worry, this Gu is not deadly, that woman is just using Lin Zi's essence blood to ripen her Gu worm. ”

"Lin Zi, she was born in the lunar year, the moon and the cloud, although she has given birth to a child, but there is still a trace of Yin Yuan left in her body, and the Gu worm released by that woman just wants to devour that Yin Yuan. When Yin Yuan is eaten by the Gu worms, he will leave by himself, but it will make Lin Zi seriously ill. The reaction was so violent today, I guess that Gu worm should be about to leave."

"Really?!"

"What did I lie to you. ”

Su Fei stood next to him and quietly listened to the conversation between Jiang Chao and Shi Luo, and he also had his own thoughts in his heart.

Yuan Qinghua really has a Gu witch who is good at Gu poison by his side, and he looks like an old woman. And seeing that her methods are so extreme, she will give people Gu at every turn, and I am afraid she is not a good person.

However, Su Fei did not agree with Jiang Chao's statement just now, because through the Insight Divine Eye, Su Fei could clearly see the Gu worm in Aunt Lin's body, and that Gu worm gave Su Fei the feeling that it was like a child, it should be a larva, and it did not mature into an adult after devouring Yin Yuan as Jiang Chao said.

The most important thing is that Su Fei didn't see that after this attack, this Gu worm had no signs of being about to leave its body. Instead, it hibernated behind Aunt Lin's waist, if it weren't for the next attack, Su Fei wouldn't believe it.

Su Fei immediately said: "I think Old Man Jiang, you better go down and have a look, of course it's good to be expelled earlier, why let the people in the village suffer." ”

"Boy, there's no place for you to speak here!" Jiang Chao stomped the cane in his hand to the ground, and the cold aura emanating from his body spread outward, wrapping Su Fei's whole person.

Su Fei felt as if there were countless ants climbing on his body, and his itching was incomparable.

Jiang Chao said angrily: "Boy, you are not afraid to drive across the mountain bridge, but don't think that the sao zi powder that Shi Luo sprinkled on you can protect you, the old man really wants to do a little bit of sao zi powder and can't protect you!"

"Jiang Chao, don't mess around!" Shi Luo immediately stood in front of Su Fei to separate Su Fei from Jiang Chao, and even took out Suo Zi powder and held it in his hand: "He is not a bad person, just now Lin Zi fell ill or he asked Aunt Lin to give Aunt Lin a shot of painkillers to let Lin Zi carry it." ”

"Hmph!" Jiang Chao snorted coldly, but Shi Luo's words were really useful, and Su Fei felt that the aura around him suddenly dissipated a lot.

But Su Fei just smiled and said, "Old Man Jiang, don't be alarmist, I really don't believe you will move me." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, those Gu worms refined by the Jiang family should be just medicine Gu that cures diseases and saves people. ”

As soon as Su Fei's words came out, not to mention Shi Luo, even Jiang Chao himself was stunned.

The audience was silent for a while.
