Song nodded and got up to see him off.

"Don't be too reckless, don't wait until Sister A's illness is cured, and you will fall down again." Song Ju confessed to her.

"I'm measured, and Brother has to pay attention to his body...... In today's situation, Sister Ah and her father are all supported by Brother A. ”

The brother and sister walked out of the front hall as they spoke.

Zhang Meishou also followed: "Mother, I'm going back too." ”

"Well, you don't have to get up too early tomorrow, sleep more, and remember to drink medicine on time." Song admonished.

Zhang Meishou responded one by one: "I've written it down, mother go in." ”

Song nodded.

The maid on the side was about to step forward to send it off, but was stopped by Song Ju, "No need to send it, go in and take care of the aunt and grandmother." ”

"Yes."

The maid blessed herself and withdrew into the hall.

Song watched for a while, and was also helped back to the room by Aunt Zhao.

Song Ju, who was about to walk to the gate of the courtyard, turned his head and exchanged glances with his niece, and saw the girl making a silent gesture to him, and then turned around with light steps and walked towards the corner of the courtyard.

Ah Li had quietly blown out the wind lantern she was carrying.

Song Ju also followed lightly, looking around from time to time.

Although it seems strange to do this at home, now that I am on the boat, I don't care about it.

The group of three quickly walked to the southwest corner of the courtyard, which is the darkest on weekdays.

Song Ju was stunned.

Isn't this the cellar where the ice is hidden in the Sister's Courtyard?

He didn't have time to react too much before Ah Li felt out a key and opened the door to the ice cellar.

Song Ju followed in and silently tightened the outer cloak on his body.

He finally understood why his niece had asked him to bring an extra shirt...... It's really practical, and it's even a little insufficient.

"Zhenzhen, why the hell are you here?"

The cellar where the ice was stored was built with blue bricks, because it was only a separate Xiaoice cellar in the courtyard of Song Jinniang, so the space was a little narrow, which made the tall Song Ju feel depressed.

"Uncle doesn't know, according to the description of the dumb woman and me, this hundred-day Gu is a pair of mother-child Gu, the child Gu is planted into the human body, within a hundred steps, but there is still a sense between the mother Gu and the mother, and the child Gu is dependent on this kind of induction to live. And once this kind of induction is blocked for a long time, Zi Gu will take people's lives-"

Song Ju's face kept changing when he heard this.

Within 100 steps......

He understood.

"And the mother Gu of this Hundred Days Gu must survive in a cold place where there is no daylight." As Zhang Meishou spoke, his eyes looked around: "Ah Li, go and find it." ”

Ah Li responded and put down the wind lantern that had just been re-lit in his hand.

In addition to storing ice, there are also a few boxes in the ice cellar to store some food and precious supplements that are afraid of the heat.

A moment later, Ah Li found a wooden box behind the boxes.

Song Ju hurriedly walked over to look.

The ordinary vermilion lacquer box was pressed under several brocade boxes, and it was not noticeable at all.

Song Ju took it from Ah Li's hand, only to feel that the weight was extremely light.

"It's like it's empty—"

Looking at the small copper lock on it, Song Ju frowned slightly.

But if it's empty, how can it be locked?

It was also hidden behind several large wooden boxes, on which were piled with many brocade boxes, and it was easy not to notice them at all.

Song Ju's heart flickered up and down, holding the box and looking around.

He was anxious to know if the box was as his niece had suspected, and the little lock didn't seem to be very strong, so he had to find something hard to break it open.

"Uncle, why don't you let Ah Li come." Zhang Meishou said in time.

Song Ju nodded.

He had heard before that the maid beside his niece had some kung fu.

But the next picture was not quite what he had imagined.

I saw the maid squat down and find a wire from her sleeve, but in a few breaths, she opened the lock.

“……”

Is it this kind of "kung fu"?

He didn't know that now being a maid in Beijing still had to master this kind of unpopular and dangerous technique even on the verge of violating the Dajing Law.

Ali took off the lock as usual.

She learned the craft from cotton.

After all, her dog man was originally from an acrobatic team, and he ran through the rivers and lakes, and he learned everything.

The box was opened, and Song Ju saw at a glance that in the empty box, there was a legless insect about one finger long, which looked a little hard and black and purple.

Song Ju's pupils shrank.

He had never seen a reptile of such a strange color.

The insect, which had been motionless, seemed to notice that the box was being opened, and suddenly wriggled.

But he didn't move a few times, and he regained his quiet, curled up, and seemed to have lost his strength.

At this time, several people suddenly heard exclamations from outside.

"Hurry up and invite the doctor, my aunt and grandmother suddenly coughed up blood!"

"Hurry up!"

It was the maid's panicked voice.

Song Ju's face changed greatly, and he turned around and was about to walk out.

"Uncle!" Zhang Meishou shouted to the person: "It should be this Gu worm that has been disturbed, which makes the Zi Gu in my aunt's body a little restless - don't worry, my aunt should be fine at this time." ”

And if the uncle goes out rashly at this time, it is not appropriate.

Song Ju paused and turned his head to look at the box that had been closed in Ah Li's hand.

If he still had some doubts, then he couldn't believe it.

"In this box...... Is that the so-called female Gu? He asked in a tense tone.

Zhang Meishou nodded and said, "That's right, I learned from the dumb woman that after this Gu leaves the blood of the Gu master, it can only survive for about a hundred days - and once the mother Gu dies, the child Gu loses its senses, and the aunt is in danger." ”

Song Ju's face sank frighteningly.

The cold around him was overwhelming, but he couldn't suppress the anger and anxiety in his heart at this time.

It's one thing to just listen to what the doctor said, but it's another thing to see this Gu worm with your own eyes right now.

The other party is so vicious and insidious, and he wants to harm his sister's life with all his intentions, but it seems that he has been planning for a long time!

This thing is stored here, and if there is no internal response, he is 10,000 unbelievers!

What's more, that Gu worm seems to be at the end of its power, and I don't know how many days it can last—before that, can we find the mastermind behind it?

Unconsciously, he shifted his gaze from the box to his niece.

He realized that the child had remained calm and sane throughout, even in the face of the terrifying Gu worm.

The girl was also looking at him, and there was no dodge in her eyes: "Uncle, the key to this ice cellar was given to me by my aunt." The next thing is to be discussed and cooperated by my uncle. ”

That's why she chose to bring her uncle here and spread everything out in front of him.

Her aunt is seriously ill and her grandfather is old and frail, if she wants to act in the Song family, she must have the cooperation of her uncle to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In the next two days, the Song family gradually spread the news.
