Chapter 224: Surprise
"There are also two glass bottles here, they are the Gu worms of Ah Yun's parents, if you don't believe it, you can take them with you and observe them yourself. ”
Gu Yaopan said, then took out the other two glass bottles in his backpack and put them on the ground in front of the three of them.
Kun Yu's face was ugly, and his reason told him that what Gu Yaopan and Tao Mengchu said must be the truth, and telling a lie that is so easy to be exposed, no one will commit such a stupidity.
But looking at the two small glass bottles in front of him, he was subconsciously afraid. He didn't understand what he was afraid of.
"The old witch father asked me to bring Sister-in-law Aji's Gu worm over. ”
Kun Yu's hoarse throat came out of the words that the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth, but his eyes were still staring at the vial in front of him.
"Yes. Tao Mengchu pushed the vial forward again.
They didn't intend to hold these things in their hands in the first place, and the old witch father should be the one who cared about these things the most, after all, the sacrifice he was going to make was probably related to these things.
"That'...... What about the rest?"
Kun Yu hesitantly pointed to Gu Yaopan's backpack, he didn't know whether he should take everything to the old witch father, as if there was always a voice in his heart that was hindering him.
Tao Mengchu didn't answer his words, but looked at Gu Yaopan and said to him:
"Kun Yutouren, do you know the specific time of the sacrifice that the old witch father said? What is the process? All sacrifices must have sacrifices, what does the old witch father plan to use as sacrifices?"
Kun Yu was stunned by Tao Mengchu's continuous question, and then shook his head in embarrassment.
This kind of thing of sacrifice has always been the responsibility of the old witch father in Miao Village, what he says, the clansmen will do it, there are few problems that need to be solved by the head, and the clansmen will not have any objections to the old witch father's request, because of this, Kun Yu has not asked about these things for a long time.
However, for the first time, he wondered if he was neglecting the affairs of the clan too much, was he really too focused on the affairs outside the mountain?
"So be it. Tao Mengchu looked at Kun Yu's obvious inability to answer, opened his mouth to break his embarrassment, and said:
"I suggest that you first bring Sister-in-law Aji's Gu Chrysalis over to the old witch father to see, and ask the old witch father what these Gu Chrysalis are all about, if you can ask a famous hall, it is not too late for you to hand over all the other Gu Chrysalis to him, as for the matter of sacrifice, I think it would be better for you to ask more. ”
This is Tao Mengchu's most sincere suggestion to Kunyu, although the old witch father has always been very polite in front of the two of them, but the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away in his bones will not deceive people, they don't know how sure the old witch father is.
"Hmm. Kunyu nodded, hesitated for a moment but reached out to hold the small bottle in front of him, stood up and walked out of the house.
At the gate of the old witch's courtyard, the slender Ah Miao stood by the courtyard gate and looked at the way from time to time, and when he saw Kunyu's figure turning the stone road, he stepped forward and opened the door of the house, and welcomed him into the house without saying a word.
The first time he saw Kunyu, the old witch father breathed a sigh of relief. Kunyu's face was unnatural, but the old witch father saw that he was holding something in his hand.
"Got it?" was a question, but the old witch father's tone was very affirmative.
Kunyu nodded silently, and put the glass bottle in front of the old witch father, his eyes were firmly fixed on the old witch father's old face, not letting go of any expression on his face.
Almost as soon as his hand left the glass bottle, he saw a surprised look on the old witch's face, as if he was very surprised at what he had taken out.
"Kunyu, didn't you say to go and get the Gu worms of the Aji family? What is this?"
The old witch father's brows furrowed, he didn't think that Kun Yu would lie to him about this, but he couldn't understand what Kun Yu's intention was to show him such a thing.
"This is the Gu worm of the Aji family. Kunyu slumped to the ground, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and whispered.
The old witch father's face changed, and he suddenly raised his head, pointed to the glass bottle with his mouth open, and said, "You before... Ask me how many times a Gu worm will produce pupae in its lifetime! Is that because of this?"
"Yes!" Kunyu's voice became deeper and lower, and the old witch father's reaction made the hope in his heart suddenly sink to the bottom and extinguished.
"How can this be ......"
The old witch father's hand trembled and reached out to the small bottle in front of him, and the look in his eyes could not tell whether it was confusion or fear.
After putting the bottle in front of his eyes and looking at it over and over again for a while, the old witch father's mood finally calmed down a little, and his eyes became more and more serious when he looked at Kunyu.
"Where are your friends? I'm going to meet them. The old witch father looked at Kun Yu and said.
"At my house. A hint of joy flashed across Kunyu's face.
The old witch father would say this, no doubt because he had changed his mind about asking his friends for help. He hurriedly stood up and said to Ah Miao on the side:
"Hold the old witch father and follow me. ”
Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan, who were sitting by the fire pit of Kun Yu's house and eating, had not had time to put down the dishes and chopsticks, and they ushered in Kun Yu and the old witch father who rushed back.
"Excuse me. The old witch father sat down with difficulty under Ah Miao's support, saying kind words in his mouth, but his eyes kept looking at Tao Gu and the two of them.
If he only regarded these two people as undesirable outsiders before, now, he has regarded these two people as outsiders who may help them a lot in Miao Village, then it has become a very important thing to see if these two people harbor evil intentions, and the old witch father is confident that his eyes will not look through the wicked.
"It's really hard for two people to come all the way to help our Miao family. ”
It took a long time for the old witch father to open his mouth, this was the first time he admitted that Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan had come into the village to help with this matter, and Kun Yu finally relieved himself when he heard him say this.
"Kun Yutou is a colleague of our special affairs department, and we will try our best to help him in trouble, I just hope that we can help. Tao Mengchu's posture was very low, and his tone was very humble.
"Can I ask you how you got this Gu Chrysalis?" the old witch father looked at the two young men in front of him seriously.
Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan glanced at each other, coughed lightly, and carefully described the process of Aji's sister-in-law's Gu worm becoming a pupa, without missing a single thing, and even Kunyu's Gu worm's strong reaction to the Gu pupa was also mentioned in passing. The old witch father's face continued to change with his description, and when Tao Mengchu's last sentence ended, the old witch father with his face raised seemed to be caught in some kind of reminiscence, and his frowning brows showed no sign of relaxation.
The whole room was silent, except for the occasional crisp "beep" sound from the blazing flames in the firepit.
"Soul... Gu worms... Why on earth is that?"
The old witch father muttered in a low voice, and there was a rare look of surprise in his eyes.
