Chapter 438: Abu
Abu is not a regular subordinate of Yu Tingbai, he is a local with a wide range of connections and a very high level of communication, and he is also a guide carefully selected by Yu Tingbai for Ji Yue and the others.
His background is simple and clean, and his ability to do things is also very strong, and he has been doing things for Yu Tingbai for so many years. Because of this, he was assigned this time.
Hearing about the Golden Silkworm Gu, Abu's expression suddenly became complicated, obviously knowing something.
"Mr. Abu?" Ji Yue looked at Abu, who had fallen into silence, and raised her voice slightly.
"Huh? Yes! Excuse me! Abu, who had just woken up from a dream, glanced at the two people in front of him, smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a secret that this is not a secret, my parents were killed by those Miao people. ”
Hearing this, Ji Yue and Arthur glanced at each other and frowned at the same time.
"Can you tell me more about it?" Arthur asked, with a gentlemanly smile on his face. "If this involves your privacy, then I'm sorry for that."
"It's okay, it's okay, everyone around me knows about it." Abu was a little embarrassed to see Arthur so solemn, he hurriedly waved his hand to say that it didn't matter, and then spoke eloquently under the gaze of Ji Yue and the others.
"The two of you also know that although I have lived here since I was a child, our family is a true Han Chinese. In this place where ethnic minorities are concentrated, it has become the minority side. ”
As he said this, Abu deliberately lowered his voice, as if he didn't want the people around him to hear it.
"The population of the Miao people is larger than that of other ethnic minorities, and they have special abilities, and many people are very afraid of them."
Thinking of the Golden Silkworm Gu that Fang Cai Jiyue and the others talked about, Abu also knew that these two people were not those so-called atheists and materialists who didn't understand anything, so he continued.
"Our place is relatively remote, and the flow of people is relatively chaotic, and it was quite chaotic in the early years." Abu grinned, a mouthful of large white teeth that contrasted sharply with his darker complexion.
Seeing that both of them were listening carefully, he continued: "Our family originally planted flowers, Miss Feng, you should understand, it is the kind of forbidden flowers that can be used in medicine, but they have long been not allowed to be planted. ”
Poppy.
Ji Yue quickly reacted to what he said, and seeing that Arthur was still a little dazed, she whispered directly.
Arthur is naturally no stranger to this world-famous plant, but he just suddenly thought of it.
"Yes, it's poppy." Abu nodded, but did not shy away, "It was a very early time, since my parents' generation stopped planting, and our family has also changed to do other things. At that time, the transportation was not as developed as it is now, and my father also started to do the transportation business, driving to deliver goods to people without anything, and his life was quite fulfilling. ”
"Then one of our early partners approached my dad and said he had a business to look for him."
"You also know what our family did in the beginning, those partners are some dangerous people now, and my dad didn't say yes at first."
"But the price offered by those people is really very impressive, my grandfather has known that group of people for a while before his death, and he is barely an old friend, and my father hesitated and agreed."
Abu didn't stop as soon as he spoke, but when he said this, Ji Yue's hand on the table suddenly clicked on the table and made a crisp sound.
Abu naturally stopped and looked at Ji Yue with some confusion.
"Any questions?" He asked in a whisper, then looked around warily.
The guests at the next table were eating by themselves, chatting happily, and no one seemed to pay attention to them.
And what he said is not an unspeakable secret, so what did Miss Ji Yue mean just now?
"Mr. Abu, please continue." Ji Yue paused for two seconds, chuckled, and said in a flat tone.
Confused, Abu continued.
"My father drove to the loading site at the agreed time and loaded the bags into the car. In the spirit of professionalism, of course, he didn't ask what the black cloth wrapped in was, but just drove off on time and began to drive towards his destination. ”
"He also kept an eye on it, and left a letter with my mother before leaving, saying that if he didn't report his safety for five days in a row, then let her call the police directly."
"I was less than five years old at the time, and my mother was alone with me, and I was terrified that something would happen to my father outside. My father didn't reply until the fourth day, when two men came to the door. ”
At this, a trace of hatred arose on Abu's face.
"Those two people dressed as Miao people, and after my mother opened the door, she broke into my house without saying a word! At that time, I was playing outside, and I happened to see this scene, and I was so scared that the six gods were lost. Later, under the reminder of his companion, he rushed directly to the village chief's house and told what he saw. ”
"The village chief didn't hesitate, and directly called the prime of the two families next door to rush to my house, but unfortunately it was too late."
Abu took a deep breath and lowered his head with a look of self-reproach.
"If I hadn't gone out with my companions, or had come home earlier, maybe my mother wouldn't have died."
Hearing this, Ji Yue and Arthur didn't know what to say for a while.
"My house was in shambles, and those two people took advantage of the shouting effort to turn over my house in less than ten minutes, as if they were looking for something. I followed the village chief, and when I entered the house, I saw my mother lying in the doorway, with a bleeding cut in her neck. ”
"Her lips are purple, and her body is stiff, how poisonous that thing must be..."
Ji Yue suddenly understood why Abu had such an expression when he said about the Golden Silkworm Gu.
His family was killed by the Miao people, and it was probably because of the Gu poison that he died.
"Ahh I'm really sorry! Mr. Arthur, Miss Wind, I just had a bit of a gaffe. Abu, who had just said a long list of things by himself, was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly refilled the tea for the two who had empty teacups, and said with a smile on his dark face.
"A few people, here comes the dish!"
The proprietor in an apron came out with a big tray, put the freshly prepared dish on the table, and said, "Girl, try it, those two girls were full of praise for this dish yesterday!" ”
It can be seen that the boss has a very deep impression of Qu Yilian and Liu Xiaoying.
