Chapter 209: No Help
Seeing the two of them drink the tea in their hands, the old witch father seemed to be a little satisfied, and the corners of his mouth that were originally collapsed looked a little upturned at this time.
"This is the ancient recipe tea of our Miao family, I wonder what the two of you think tastes?"
The old witch's voice was slow, and the movements of drinking tea were also slow, and the whole person had the leisure and comfort of an old dragon clock. If it weren't for Kunyu's serious words before, just looking at his slow and logical appearance, Tao Mengchu and the others would not have found any problems with this Miao Village.
He didn't answer Kunyu's words, he just simply talked about the Miao family's tea, and after he took a sip, he stretched out his thin fingers, nodded in front of the two, and motioned Tao Mengchu and the two to drink more.
Kun Yu couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw the old witch's reaction, he invited these two people to come over to help, but seeing the old witch father's appearance, he obviously didn't want outsiders to interfere.
But this can't be done! If the matter in the village is not resolved, the people's hearts will be scattered, and a few days ago, it was not that there were no villagers who wanted to run out, and the old witch father insisted on letting people stop them, but this was not a long-term solution after all.
"Witch Father!" Kunyu put down the teacup and opened his mouth, trying to convince the old man again.
"Kunyu!" the old man's finger raised to interrupt his words, pointed at Tao Mengchu and said: "These two are guests from afar, you can let them take them to play in the village for two days! Although it is not the peak tourist season, there are still many beautiful scenery in the mountains." ”
Kunyu's face changed, and he understood what the old man meant, this was unwilling to hand over the safety of the people in the village to outsiders, but ...... He wanted to speak again, but suddenly felt that his sleeve was pulled, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Tao Mengchu had already put down the teacup, and said with a smile:
"Thank you, old man. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Kunyu to react, he dragged him out of the door half-dragging and half-pulling, Gu Yaopan followed behind the two of them, and when he turned around to look before going out, the old man had already put down the teacup and lowered his head, and he didn't know if he was asleep or thinking about something, the light of the fire in the fire pit shone on him, as if it had shone a blurry shadow, dim and unknown.
Ah Miao entered the house with a tea tray to clean up the teacup, and when she saw the old man curled up, she couldn't help but speak: "Father, what's wrong with Patriarch Kunyu? Why did you remember to bring outsiders to our village at this time?"
The old man didn't answer, his rickety body straightened slightly, looked at the door of the house and didn't know what he was thinking, and only said for a long time: "Kunyu's heart is no longer Shengmiao's heart, he has been in contact with people outside the mountain for too long, and he has forgotten his bloodline." ”
Kun Yu, who was pulled out by Tao Mengchu, looked at the young man who pushed him out of the courtyard all the way, and couldn't understand why he didn't let himself finish his words.
"Patriarch Kunyu, right?" Tao Mengchu didn't speak until he pulled Kunyu out of the old witch father's small courtyard and walked forward for a while.
"What's wrong?" Kunyu tugged at his crooked collar with some dissatisfaction, and habitually dusted off his body.
"I don't know what you think, didn't you communicate with the people in the clan before you went to us?" Tao Mengchu looked at Kunyu's appearance, a little ridiculous.
"This old Miao Wu obviously doesn't want outsiders to enter the village, I thought you were the one who could say everything in the village, but in the current situation, we are very passive, it is obvious that people's prestige is higher than yours, if he comes forward to oppose it, how many people in your village do you think will listen to you?"
The expression on Gu Yaopan's face was very flat, but the meaning in his words was obvious. Just now, she followed Tao Mengchu out because she saw this clearly.
The words of the two made Kun Yu a little embarrassed, and the expression on his face became a little helpless, he turned his head to look at the adobe house of the old witch father when he came, and then looked back at the two colleagues in front of him who were not very good-looking, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I originally thought that as long as someone could help, the old witch father would always be able to read the creatures in the village and relax, but now it seems that I was wrong. ”
Kun Yu wiped his face as he spoke, he didn't expect the old witch father to be so stubborn, obviously the situation in the village was already very serious, but he still held on to the old old habits.
"Kunyu!"
Without waiting for Tao Mengchu to say anything, an anxious shout came from under the stone road in the distance. A barefoot man in a dark blue coat hurried up the stone path.
"Mo, what's the matter?" Kun Yu looked at the visitor in surprise.
"Let's go! Aggie's family is afraid that something is wrong. The man named Amo didn't have time to catch his breath before he spoke.
Kunyu's face changed suddenly, and he asked as he ran down, "Didn't you say it was better a few days ago?"
Halfway through the words, he remembered Tao Mengchu and the two who were thrown in place, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Come with me, something happened." ”
Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan glanced at each other, didn't say much, and ran down with Kunyu and Amo.
The figures of several people hurriedly disappeared at the end of the stone road, and at the door of the old witch father's house, Ah Miao's face shook and disappeared.
After turning two corners, Kun Yu and Ah Mo rushed straight into a yard with the door ajar open, and a few chickens in the yard were lying weakly, and they didn't react at all when they saw the two rushing in, so that Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan, who saw all this, subconsciously exchanged a look, no wonder they didn't see any livestock all the way into the village.
As soon as the door of the house opened, a strong smell of medicine came out, and a small medicine pot hung above the boxy fire pit in the middle of the room, which was bubbling at this time, and the whole room was full of the unique cleanliness of the Gu cultivators, just like the old witch father's yard, which was clean and dusty.
"What's going on?"
Kun Yu's face was ugly as he looked at the woman who was lying on the bed at this time and only had one breath left, and turned his head to look at the man who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.
"What do you ask?"
Looking at the man's wretched appearance, Kunyu couldn't help but feel a little angry, and couldn't help but raise his voice and roar.
"Uh......h I don't know. The man holding his head let out a desperate whimper from his throat.
Still on the side, Ah Mo relieved him, pulled Lakunyu and said: "Don't lose your temper, I know that you are also anxious if something happens in the village, but Ah Ji doesn't want to, after taking the medicine of the old witch father before, Ah Ji's wife's condition has always been quite stable and has not continued to deteriorate, but it suddenly stopped this morning." ”
Kun Yu turned around and said, "What about the old witch father?
Ah Mo shook his head and said, "I've been here, but I said I couldn't help it." ”
Tao Mengchu and the others stood behind Kun Yu, listening to the conversation between the three of them in their ears, but their eyes looked beyond Kun Yu towards the bed against the wall.
On the double bed against the wall lay an extremely emaciated woman, as thin as a piece of paper under the felt carpet, staring blankly at the ceiling as the two hollow eyes above the sunken cheeks like two swarthy caves.
