Gu Chaoge stayed in the stockade.

Although most of the old people in the village did not welcome outsiders, and because she could lift the curse of the mountain god that the great witch said, they regarded her as a monster and stayed away, but because she was a guest invited by the patriarch after all, the old people did not dare to deliberately drive her away. As for the Great Witch, he has been treating her with a hostile attitude since the first day she came in, and because of her, the relationship between the Great Witch and the patriarch is very stiff, and the patriarch insists on not giving in. Gu Chaoge doesn't feel good about herself and thinks that it's all because of herself, she thinks that probably the patriarch has been unpleasant to the big witch for a long time, and he wants to change his son.

Having said that, the young people and children in the village liked her very much, and occasionally they were injured or sprained because of things like work and hunting, and they didn't dare to bother the Great Witch to come forward, even if they asked, the Great Witch would not pay attention to it at all. Compared with the skinny and skinny Wu Lai, Gu Chaoge, who is good-looking, good-tempered, easy to speak, and has very good medical skills, has become the best choice, because she never collects money, and the treatment effect is very good, and people often put the prey or food made at home in front of her house as a thank you.

Ah Yan was forced by his father to go to Dawu to study every morning, because the relationship between his father and Dawu was stiff, he couldn't learn anything, and he often suffered from Dawu's deliberate difficulties. Ah Yan didn't know why, even so, his father asked him to go, Uncle Wu said that it was for outsiders to see, and Ah Yan still didn't understand why he was acting like it.

Ah Yan likes to follow Gu Chaoge every afternoon, watching her pound and dry medicine, treating people with bones, or listening to her say some strange medical cases. Probably because of the different growth environments and different views, Ah Yan did not have the general Han people's rejection of corpses, he felt that this was the same as disposing of animal carcasses after hunting, so he also liked to listen to Gu Chaoge talk about the structure of the human body.

Unconsciously, Ah Yan won a title meaning "follower" among his peers. But he didn't care, but was proud, because he felt that they were all jealous of him because of envy.

Today, as ever, the summer forests are exceptionally shady, and after the wild growth of spring, many herbs are ready to be picked. Ah Yan carried a bamboo basket on his back, held a firewood knife, and followed behind Gu Chaoge to help. Lao Wu didn't come because of the faint pain in his legs and feet recently, after all, the environment in the mountains is not as good as the mountain, Gu Chaoge went out today to find some herbs for Lao Wu's legs.

Ah Yan sang happily behind her, she couldn't understand the lyrics, but the tone was cheerful, and Ah Yan was very happy. Gu Chaoge smiled, bent down, and used a firewood knife to stir in a clump of weeds, she just seemed to see a rare strange medicine inside.

Seeing a few small purple flowers among the weeds, Gu Chaoge's eyes lit up. She took a step forward, but suddenly felt that something was wrong under her feet, the soil was too soft, she was about to take her feet back, but a rope sleeve tightened and tied her ankles, Gu Chaoge exclaimed: "Ah Yan! ”

"Sister Gu, it's a trap!" Ah Yan heard a slight sound, it was the sound of the trap starting, because of Gu Chaoge's movements, a rope was pulled out of the vines of the trunk, and the rope sleeve was pulled up, it seemed that Gu Chaoge was going to be hung upside down and tied up. Gu Chaoge quickly plunged the firewood knife deep into the soil to resist the pull of the rope.

"Ah Yan, help!" While Gu Chaoge was talking, Ah Yan had already rushed over, his hand was up and down, and he cut the rope with skillful movements, and with a few "whoosh" sounds, the other half of the rope fixed on the tree fell.

"Who's going to set a trap here?" Ah Yan muttered and ran forward to check, and saw that the color of the rope was white, it looked old, and the setting of the trap didn't seem to be perfect, so Gu Chaoge had time to react. So Ah Yan ran back with half a rope and scratched the back of his head: "Sister Gu, it seems to be an abandoned trap, and the hunter forgot to take it back." ”

"Is that so? But it's well hidden, I've seen some traps, and I didn't even notice it," Gu Chaoge muttered strangely, "Could it be that I'm too focused on collecting medicine?" ”

Ah Yan scratched the back of his head in confusion: "I don't know either." ”

This incident passed quickly as an interlude, and Gu Chaoge was more careful when he went up the mountain in the future, often letting the experienced Ah Yan walk in front. But Ah Yan can't follow her every day, because the family work still needs to be done, and his father will also take him to hunt to teach him skills and experience.

I don't know if it's an illusion, every time Ah Yan is not there, Gu Chaoge goes out alone, even if she goes to the surrounding activities not far from the village, she always feels that someone is peeping. Occasionally, when I looked back, I could hear the sound of rustling, but I couldn't see anyone. Once or twice was accidental, and after many times, she began to feel that something was wrong, thinking of the ill-intentioned Great Witch, she told Uncle Wu about this strange thing.

Lao Wu gave her a Jianyì.

So on this day, Ah Yan was informed that his prescription needed to be changed, and some medicines were not available in the mountain, so he had to go to the town below the mountain to get the medicine. Involving his own illness, Ah Yan was very nervous, and Abba also allowed him not to go to Da Wu today, he followed Gu Chaoge down the mountain, and after buying medicine, Gu Chaoge went to buy some ropes and fishing nets and other things, which made Ah Yan inexplicable.

"Ah Yan, you can make traps, right?" Gu Chaoge whispered to him mysteriously, and after listening to the ins and outs, Ah Yan blinked his eyes, became excited, and rubbed his hands: "Sister Gu, I'll help you!" ”

On the second day, a mother in the village came to Gu Chaoge to see a doctor for the child, and after Gu Chaoge finished reading, he said that there was a medicine that had to be picked temporarily, but Ah Yan, who was accompanying him, suddenly said that his father told him that something was wrong, and Gu Chaoge had to go to the mountains to collect medicine alone with a bamboo basket on his back. This flavor medicine was available on the edge of the village, but Gu Chaoge deliberately walked a long way, pretending to be very hard and difficult to pick.

Then, as she carefully skirted the trap she had laid yesterday, and sat down in a small clearing, someone approached silently, like a wild beast, slowly, and without making a sound. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to his target, suddenly, a rope noose encircled his foot, tightened, and jerked upward. "Caught!" With Ah Yan's voice, the man was wrapped in a fishing net and hung upside down.

“*&￥#@！” The man tried to tear the fishing net with his hatchet.

“@#%！” Ah Yan stopped him, telling him that he would be injured if he fell, and the man glared at Ah Yan fiercely: "&*#@¥%!" As if he was reproaching him for favoring the Han people, Ah Yan couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw his face: "¥%!" ”

Gu Chaoge didn't understand their local dialect very well, and barely guessed that the two of them knew each other, she asked, "Ah Yan, is it someone from the village?" ”

"It's ¥%," Ah Yan pointed to the man hanging upside down, who was about the same age as his father, and he said to Gu Chaoge in surprise, "Sister Gu, he wants to kill you!" ”

Gu Chaoge was also taken aback: "Why?" ”

Ah Yan began to talk to the man in the local dialect again. Probably because Ah Yan was a child, the man disdained to talk to him, and his tone was always arrogant, until Ah Yan threatened the man with a sue to Abba, and the man was a little scared and finally shirked the responsibility.

"It's the Great Witch, he said that it was the Great Witch who instigated it, and the Great Witch said that the disease was brought by you, and killing you will cure his child's disease!" Ah Yan opened his mouth wide, he still couldn't understand the cruelty of life and death in the adult world, he looked at Gu Chaoge stupidly, at a loss: "Sister Gu, what should I do?" ”

Gu Chaoge looked up for a while, that person saw her looking at herself, and kept saying something in the local language, Gu Chaoge barely understood a few words, it was scolding her. Gu Chaoge sighed and said to Ah Yan, "Go and call your Abba." ”

Because it was an attempted murder, although the patriarch was very angry, he couldn't do anything with him, and there was a big witch to support him, except for a reprimand, the patriarch could only put him back. Although Gu Chaoge kindly went to his home to treat his child during the patriarch's detention of this person, it was just a small problem that could be cured by the child's accumulation of food and wine koji, and by the time he went back, the child's condition had greatly improved.

But he still didn't thank Gu Chaoge, insisting that she was an evil creature and a disaster.

Although there are not many people who think like this in the village, he is definitely not the only one. The relationship between the patriarch and the great witch fell out because of the accusations made in public, and the relationship became even worse. Ah Yan faintly felt that it would be dangerous for Gu Chaoge to stay in the village, and Uncle Wu also suggested that she leave the village to live at the foot of the mountain, thinking that Gu Chaoge was leaving, Ah Yan was sullen.

"Maybe there's another way?" Gu Chaoge touched Ah Yan's head: "Da Wu really wants me to get out, maybe I can talk to him." ”

Ah Yan's eyes widened: "What is there to talk about with him!" "He really hates the big witch.

Gu Chaoge said: "If he doesn't want to kill me himself, he can probably still talk about it." Gu Chaoge winked at Ah Yan, Ah Yan's face was full of confusion, but he still did it.

"You directly asked him for a secret technique, using Jing Fang and leaving as a bargaining chip?" Lao Wu took a puff of dry tobacco, and when he heard Gu Chaoge say this, his brows tightened: "Can that old cadaver agree, after all, that is the only treasure he is proud of." ”

"If he doesn't leave, I'll stay here and spend time with him. His beard is so long, his hair is so white, and his medical skills are so bad, he will only fool people," Gu Chaoge opened his arms and made exaggerated gestures, puffing out his chest, and he was violent, "Anyway, I must get the secret technique, if I don't get it, I will definitely not leave, see if he lives long, or I live long!" ”

"Lady Yi can't wait that long."

"Da Wu doesn't know that I'm for Brother Yi!"

Lao Wu took another puff of dry tobacco and muttered, "It's a method." "The Jing prescription is a good thing, as long as the symptoms are correct, according to the dosage of the Jing prescription, it will be good, since Gu Chaoge wants to give it, it must be for the old cadaver who can figure it out.

"But that old ghoul elf, knowing that you are here for the secret arts, is tantamount to letting him grasp a handle. Maybe he didn't know how to use this trick to create rumors at all, so as to drive out you, an outsider who coveted secret arts? ”

"So I'm going to gamble on Ah Yan!"

Lao Wu was stunned: "What's the matter with Guan Ayan?" ”

"Ah Yan is going to talk to the Great Witch, if I come forward, I will definitely be clicked by the Great Witch's conspiracy!" Gu Chaoge made a gesture to wipe his neck, leaned over to Lao Wu and asked him, "Uncle Wu, do you think my idea is good?" With a look of anticipation, it was obvious that he couldn't hear Lao Wu say something bad.

Lao Wu thought about it very seriously, the matter was very important, and he couldn't help but think about it carefully. Ah Yan is the future Great Witch, if he is eager to get the secret art and make such a deal with the Great Witch, it is completely reasonable, and the Great Witch can't frame him for stealing the secret art, because the secret art is what Ah Yan should master.

Moreover, he has been by Gu Chaoge's side for a long time, and he is the son of the patriarch, Ah Yan wants to get the scripture and drive Gu Chaoge away, it is a very simple matter, and Dawu will not doubt it.

The only problem is - "Ah Yan is too young, he is not yet eleven." Uncle Wu said.

"It's not small, Ah Yan said that when he turns eleven, his father will choose a daughter-in-law for him." The people in the village generally get married early, and if it weren't for the fact that his previous daughter-in-law died, he would have remarried after several years, and Ah Yan would be more than a little older now.

Lao Wu retorted to her: "Talking about a deal with the old cadre, can it be as simple as marrying a daughter-in-law?" ”

"So it's a gamble, or you have a better way?" Gu Chaoge asked, Old Wu Yusai, he actually thought of the possible consequences, and also thought of even crazier remedies, but they were too barbaric, and it seemed that it was not suitable to take them out and discuss with Gu Chaoge. Lao Wu frowned and thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "I hope that kid is reliable." ”

"I've always had good luck." Gu Chaoge smiled. She thought that if it really didn't work, she would tie up this big witch all the way back to Suzhou. When he arrives in Suzhou, Yi Cui must have a way to make Dawu speak!

If Yi Cui knew, he must have hoped that it was the above method, which meant that he could meet Gu Chaoge earlier. It's a pity that Ah Yan's child is really "very reliable", after receiving the task explained by Sister Gu, he was excited for several days, and no one has such rich experience in "fighting the enemy" as he has. He excitedly planned how to speak for several days, repeatedly rehearsing it for Gu Chaoge and Uncle Wu, until they felt that he looked "like an adult", and then he confidently "set out to fight the Great Witch".

And it may be that Da Wu has been too ruthless recently, Ah Yan didn't tell Gu Chaoge and Uncle Wu, he actually played freely and sneaked in quietly at night, Da Wu was defenseless and was tied to the pillar in his sleep. The great witch didn't believe that Ah Yan dared to do anything to him as a child, he refused to say a word about the secret arts, who knew that in the case of the threat could not be achieved and the deal could not be negotiated, Ah Yan was angry, and lit a fire on the firewood piled up in the corner of the house, because it was also a hot season in the mountains recently, and the fire was swishing up.

Now the big witch finally panicked.

Gu Chaoge, who was quietly hiding nearby to watch the situation, saw that there was a fire in the house, and she hurriedly went to the patriarch to put out the fire. Lao Wu caught a glimpse of Ah Yan's figure from the window, as well as the big witch tied to the pillar, his face felt the increasingly hot air, he swallowed his saliva, his heart was crossed, and stopped Gu Chaoge: "I have another way." ”

It's already come to this point, what are you afraid of, you might as well gamble again. Lao Wu quietly touched the firewood knife on his waist, approached the house, and was ready to attack at any time.

“@#！ @#！ The Great Witch screamed in horror in the room in a hoarse voice, Ah Yan saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, he was also a little panicked, and when he heard the Great Witch say that he agreed to tell him about the secret technique, Ah Yan wanted to put the Great Witch down. As soon as he picked up the firewood knife, Lao Wu came: "Don't move, I'll come!" Ah Yan looked at Lao Wu at a loss, Lao Wu quickly untied the big witch from the pillar, and then re-tied the hands and feet of the big witch with a rope, stuffed sackcloth to prevent him from calling, the big witch almost couldn't wait to leave the burning room, even if he was trapped his hands and feet, he kept jumping out, Lao Wu saw this, hehe smiled: "Ah Yan, go and tell you Abba, the house of the big witch was cursed by the mountain god, and it was on fire." ”

Then Gu Chaoge and Lao Wu, who were answering outside, left with Da Wu, Ah Yan

When the patriarch led everyone to hurriedly extinguish the fire and save the big witch in the house, Lao Wu and Gu Chaoge quietly hid outside the village with the big witch. Then, Lao Wu began to discuss with Gu Chaoge in front of Da Wu how to tie Da Wu back to Suzhou, thousands of miles away. At the same time, Lao Wu actually took out all Gu Chaoge's instruments at some point, from the dissecting knife to the knife and saw the skull, all the same strokes on Da Wu's body.

Normally, such an action would not have scared the goblin witch, but tonight he was hit one after another. Kicked out of his sleep by a child, he found himself tied up, and then there was a fire close at hand, and he finally escaped, and two hateful Han people kidnapped him again, and compared him with sharp knives, and seriously discussed whether to kidnap him or dismember him on the spot.

The Great Witch was completely stupefied.

No matter how deep his mind is, he is just an old man, and the closed environment of the cottage is destined to make it impossible for him to have too much knowledge. They laughed maliciously in front of them, and the "Suzhou" mentioned in their mouths was a place he had never heard of, and it was terrible when he heard it, and he didn't want to go to it even if he died.

"I sue you for your secret arts, and now I will sue you, please let me go!" The Great Witch pleaded loudly in slightly jerky Chinese.

Lao Wu smiled hesitantly: "Say no sooner, it's over?" Listen carefully, girl, in case he says something wrong, just, click! Lao Wu squinted his eyes and slashed at Da Wu's neck with a knife.

Gu Chaoge nodded again and again, she didn't expect Lao Wu to be prepared, although the means were very rough, but it was effective! Da Wu didn't know that she and Lao Wu wouldn't kill people at all.

Yes, yes...... She thought with a weak heart and guilt, but she suddenly felt that the big witch was right, outsiders were big villains.

Although the starting point is good, she and Lao Wu's approach is no different from that of the bad guys. Not only did they drag the chief's son into the water and become an accomplice to the kidnapping, but they also burned down the house of the great witch, making the village restless for a night.

I don't know if it's too late to go to the patriarch tomorrow to take the initiative to admit his mistake and compensate generously......
