Qin Xiao soon saw that from the bamboo tube, two small insects wriggled out and crawled into Mapo's palm.

The insect was snow-white, like a silkworm chrysalis baby, Qin Xiao didn't know what Mapo wanted, but when he saw that the two white insects crawled to the palm of his hand, he didn't move, Mapo stared at Qin Xiao's eyes and asked, "Do you know this insect?" ”

Qin Xiao shook his head, and Ma Po sneered: "This is called a heart-eating worm, and your favorite food is the human heart, which crawls into your mouth and enters the heart, and in less than half a day, it can swallow your heart cleanly." ”

Qin Xiao changed color slightly, and struggled: "What do you want to do?" ”

"I didn't want to do anything." Ma Po said softly: "The baby worms have been hungry for many days, and today is the right time for them to feast." ”

Qin Xiao reluctantly smiled: "Mapo, you won't let them eat my heart, right?" ”

"You're smart." Mapo's inky eyes stared at Qin Xiao: "You are still young, your heart is fresh, and you are the best food for hearteaters." ”

Qin Xiao saw the worm in her palm, and only felt very disgusted, and said with a wry smile: "We have no grievances, you don't need to harm me like this, right?" ”

"I'm just asking you who came out of your house that night." Ma Po said lightly: "If you confess honestly, I can spare you once." ”

Qin Xiao said helplessly: "I really don't know her, to tell you the truth, I also want to know who she is...... Before he finished speaking, Ma Po had already supported Qin Xiao's chin with one hand, and pinched Qin Xiao's jaw bone very skillfully, Qin Xiao's mouth opened involuntarily, Ma Po did not hesitate at all, and covered Qin Xiao's mouth with the other hand, and the two white worms instantly entered Qin Xiao's mouth.

Qin Xiao was shocked and wanted to spit it out, but Mapo's palm was tightly covered, and the two white worms entered his mouth and became extremely active, Qin Xiao couldn't stop it at all, feeling that the two white worms quickly burrowed into his throat, and then directly entered the esophagus.

Ma Po was obviously sure that the white worm had entered Qin Xiao's esophagus, and withdrew her hand, Qin Xiao immediately vomited, wanting to spit out the worm, but the bitter water spit out two mouthfuls, and the worm was not a single one.

"Dead old woman, when did Lao Tzu offend you?" Qin Xiao was eaten by the heartworm, and he was filled with anger: "Who is in Lao Tzu's house in and out, and it is your business?" ”

Ma Po just stood in front of him, looked at him coldly, and did not speak.

"You hurry up and get them out for Lao Tzu." Qin Xiao was afraid and anxious in his heart: "I am from the official government, if you really hurt me, the Governor's Mansion will definitely investigate to the end, and the people in your Governor's Mansion are all eating dry rice?" No matter how deep you hide, they will be able to find you out. ”

Ma Po snorted coldly and said, "They always eat dry rice, don't you know?" ”

Qin Xiao was stunned, at this time he faintly felt that the worms seemed to be wriggling in his stomach, and he didn't know if it was really felt or psychological, so he said with a bitter face: "Our neighbors, there is no need to do such a desperate thing, right?" ”

"What did you just see?" Ma Po stared at Qin Xiao's eyes and asked.

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, after all, climbing someone's window to peek at other people's baths is not a glorious thing to talk about.

"I see you haven't blown the light so late, I'm worried about what's wrong with you." Qin Xiao thought for a moment before he said, "I thought you were an old woman, in case something really happened, you didn't take care of it, so .....!"

Ma Po said: "So you want to see if I'm dead?" ”

Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "No, it just depends on whether you are sick or something, I didn't curse you." ”

Ma Po snorted coldly, slammed out, the knife light slashed, Qin Xiao was taken aback, and screamed softly, "Ah", but found that Ma Po actually cut the cow tendon rope that helped her legs, and then went around behind her, and cut the rope that tied her hands as well.

Qin Xiao didn't expect Mapo to change so quickly, he got up and moved his hands and feet, and then heard Mapo say lightly: "That's not heart-eating insects, they can survive in your body for two days, you don't have to panic, they will move around your meridians in these two days, helping you to clear your pulses." ”

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said unexpectedly: "Tongmai? ”

"In the early years, you were attacked by cold, and your meridians contracted, and you couldn't practice qi and martial arts at all." Ma Po put away the knife and said calmly: "But the blood has made your meridians stretch, but after many years of accumulation, it will not be able to recover overnight, although this snow worm can't make you recover quickly, at least it is beneficial to the relaxation of the meridians." ”

As soon as he said this, Qin Xiao was surprised: "How do you know? But he also understood in an instant, and said, "You..... How many times have you saved me? ”

Qin Xiao didn't know where the mysterious old woman was, but when he saw Mapo that day, he was suspicious.

It's just that he can't imagine that the old woman who buys oil across the door will have such a ability.

But when she said this at this moment, Qin Xiao almost instantly concluded that the mapo in front of her was the mysterious old woman she had been looking for.

Except for the mysterious old woman, almost no one in this world knows that they have ever suffered from cold, and it is impossible for anyone to know that they have been taking blood to fight cold.

Mapo is the benefactor he has always been worried about, Qin Xiao only feels incredible.

For nearly two hundred days, he waited for Eun Gong to appear again almost every day, but who knew that Eun Gong, who he had been waiting for, was looking at him diagonally across the door.

Mapo didn't admit it, but walked to the corner of the house, where there was a small table with several oil jars on it.

Although she didn't admit it, since she didn't deny it, it was tantamount to acquiescence, and Qin Xiao had completely determined her identity.

For a while, countless doubts came to my heart.

"Well..... Benefactor, how do you know I have a chill? Qin Xiao leaned over, "How do you know that blood can resist cold?" When he walked to Mapo's side, he saw that Mapo had opened the oil jar and carefully took out a porcelain bottle from it.

"Benefactor, what is this?" Qin Xiaoqi said.

Ma Po turned around, her voice still cold: "Don't call me a benefactor." The voice was still low and hoarse, he opened the porcelain bottle, poured out a very small pill in the palm of his hand, glanced at Qin Xiao, and said in a low voice: "This is a blood pill made of dog blood." ”

"Blood pills?" Qin Xiao carefully twisted it from Mapo's palm.

"You put your blood in a gourd now, but it's not a long-term solution." Ma Po said: "Once the secret in the gourd is discovered one day, it will not be good after all." In the past six months, I have been thinking about how to better solve this problem, thinking about it, the best way is to make blood pills, so that it is convenient for you to take them, even if this blood pill is discovered, you have a hundred reasons to explain. ”

Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "Exactly." "I thought that it would be much more convenient to have blood pills on my body than to have blood in a gourd.

Moreover, the storage time of the blood in the inner gourd should not be too long, and if the time is too long, it will coagulate into a lump, which is very inconvenient, and the blood will be wasted for this.

"This bottle is enough for three months." Ma Po said: "In addition to blood, there are also some qi-nourishing herbs in the blood pills, which are good for your body. Handing the porcelain bottle in his hand to Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao hurriedly took it with both hands, was grateful in his heart, and said, "Benefactor, why are you helping me like this?" ”

"I told don't call me a benefactor." Mapo was obviously a little unhappy.

Qin Xiao said embarrassedly: "Then I still call you Mapo?" ”

Mapo thought for a moment before she said softly: "My name is Momiji, but you don't have to remember it." ”

"Momiji?" Qin Xiao immediately said: "Good name, good name, it's really good." ”

Ma Po snorted coldly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

Qin Xiao put the porcelain bottle into his arms, and then said, "Red leaves..... Mother-in-law, how do you know that I have a cold disease? "Thinking about the disease of cold, only I and the old man who has passed away know, the old man has traveled west, except for myself, no one else knows the disease of cold, and the red leaves have learned from it?

"You don't have to ask, I'll let you know." Momiji was as cold as ice: "You shouldn't know, and you don't have to talk nonsense." ”

"Oooh!" Qin Xiao hurriedly said, "Got it." ”

At this time, he also understood why Ghost Hand San wanted to settle accounts with himself that night, but the mysterious old woman was able to appear in time, Ma Po was opposite his house, paying attention to the movement in his yard, Ghost Hand San sneaked into his house, others didn't know, but with the strength of Momiji, of course, it was clear.

Momiji didn't speak, and the two of them stood, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Are you okay?" Momiji asked lightly.

Although she saved Qin Xiao's life several times, and tried her best to make blood pills for Qin Xiao's sake, she was very cold when she talked to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao thought to himself that this should be due to temperament.

"Nope." Qin Xiao said embarrassedly: "I just want to know, you ..... Why did you save me? ”

Momiji said: "Didn't you hear what I just said?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense about what you shouldn't know." Qin Xiao squeezed out a smile: "By the way, there is something I have some doubts about and want to ask you for advice." Without waiting for Momiji to speak, he immediately said, "It's not nonsense, it's ..... It's the Ancient Spirit. ”

Momiji said, "What's wrong?" Have you practiced all these days? ”

"I dare not forget your commands." Qin Xiao said: "I practice whenever I have time, but there is one thing that is very strange. ”

"Oh?"

"I've never practiced internal skills." Qin Xiao said: "But some people say that I have been practicing internal skills for half a year, and they also say that I am already a first-class master.....!" ”

"A master?" Momiji sneered: "When did Yipin become a master?" ”

Qin Xiao knew that he was speechless, and he was even more embarrassed: "I said it wrong, he said that I am a first-class martial artist, that is, I have internal strength, but I don't remember that I have been practicing internal strength since half a year ago, Hongye ..... Mother-in-law Momiji, what the hell is going on? ”

Momiji said, "You reach out." ”

Qin Xiao hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand, and Hongye poked out two fingers and put them on Qin Xiao's hand veins, as if he was taking the patient's pulse, and commanded: "Take a deep breath!" ”

Qin Xiao followed Hongye's instructions, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it.

Hongye's skin did not become rough because of her martial arts, her hands were soft, her muscles were like cream, and her fingers were on the veins of her hands, which could even make Qin Xiao feel slippery.

Hongye let out a light "huh", looked up at Qin Xiao's eyes, saw that Qin Xiao was also looking at him, and asked, "You haven't practiced internal skills before?" ”

"No, absolutely not." Qin Xiao immediately said, "I can swear to the sky.....!" ”

"No, no, what kind of swear is made." Hongye was a little displeased: "You started practicing Qi from the [Ancient Qi Technique]?" ”

"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "That night, you gave me the [Ancient Meaning Qi Technique], and I began to vomit according to the method inside. ”

Hongye withdrew his hand, thoughtfully, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Then I want to congratulate you, it took you a few days to reach the realm that others only took half a year to reach!" ”
