42. The Great Witch is a puppet
forty-two
After doing all this, the old man looked very tired, asked the Great Witch to arrange a place for him to live, and closed the door to rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info For the next seven days, Dawu sent people every day to see his sister's situation. Almost every day, I came back to report that my sister's condition was improving, my sister was awake, my sister was able to eat, and my sister was able to get out of bed.
Hearing that my sister's illness had been cured, the other families in the village who were suffering from strange diseases rushed to ask the old man to treat his family. In less than a month, all the patients in the village were cured. The treatment was the same, and everyone had a cold and weird snake crawling out of their mouth, and then they got better. For a while, the old man became a fairy in the village, and everyone looked at him with more respect and worship than at the great witch. But the old man has always been very low-key, except for treating the sick every day, he stays alone in the accommodation provided for him by the great witch, rarely goes out, and does not take the initiative to contact the people in the village. The old man's superb skills and low-key style of acting were appreciated by Dawu, and he finally made up his mind to keep the old man and be his right-hand man.
Picking a good day, Dawu held a very grand banquet, invited all the high-level leaders of the village, and announced in front of everyone that the old man would stay in the village in the future and make a contribution to the strength of the village with everyone. The old man, who was growing in the village, was still very modest, and showed respectful obedience to the great witch and all the high-level officials, which made everyone very satisfied with him. In just one month, the old man recovered almost the entire village. However, this did not make Dawu feel threatened, on the contrary, he was very happy that he had received a capable person to help him, and there was great hope for the revitalization of the village. In this way, the old man remained in the stockade ever since. With the passage of time, the old man's reputation in the village has become higher and higher, and his status in the hearts of the people has long surpassed that of Dawu. It's just that he is a smart man and knows that he can't really rule Miao Village as a foreigner, so he has always respected the Great Witch on the surface, but in fact he has been secretly cultivating his own strength.
The Great Witch is not unaware, but one is that the old man shows respect for the Great Witch in everything, and he must listen to the Great Witch's opinion in everything before making a decision. Another is that the Gu worms in the village are constantly degrading, and their position is already in jeopardy, if there is no strong arm to assist them, then the other villages around him may have long wanted to divide his territory and eat it. In addition, he is also old, and he is unable to do many things, so he turns a blind eye to the old man's actions. Moreover, the only son, Meng Yan, eloped with the Spirit Gu Girl, and he had no successor, the more he thought about it, the more discouraged he became, and he didn't pay much attention to many things. But despite this, his pursuit of the Spirit Gu Girl never stopped, for him, it was not only the Spirit Gu Girl who was hunting, but also his only son and the only heir of the Great Witch, Meng Yan. If there is no son, when he is old, the status of the great witch will be sidelined, and the inheritance of the ancestor will be severed from him, which is a major event that will not see the ancestors after death. Therefore, on the one hand, he almost completely gave up the management of the village, and on the other hand, he tried all means to find the Mengyan family.
Just a few years ago, they finally found the Mengyan family who had settled in the town. When he heard that his son had found him, Da Wu cried at that time, and left the cottage with his entourage before dawn the next day. Xu Chang, that is, the old man, said that he was afraid that the Great Witch would encounter danger because of the long distance, so he wanted to protect the Great Witch, so he insisted on walking with the Great Witch.
After meeting with Meng Yan's family, after negotiations, Dawu promised his son not to take Qiaoqiao away first, and then to pick it up when Qiaoqiao could feed Gu with blood. And because she is her own granddaughter, she will definitely take care of her body, will not increase the number of Gu worms, and suck too much blood from her, and the matter has been resolved satisfactorily so far. But when he was resting at night, Xu Chang tried his best to persuade Da Wu to plant Gu on Qiaoqiao's family, and said that it took them more than ten years of hard work to find their son, and if they ran away again, I am afraid they would never be found, so they had to be guarded against. The Great Witch was finally moved, and the next day he planted Zimu Gu and Poison Gu on his son's family. The joy of reuniting with the members of the family after a long absence was frozen by this action of the Great Witch. Until Da Wu and his party left, Meng Yan's family never said a word to Da Wu again, including saying goodbye. When Da Wu walked out of his son's door, he wanted to turn back and say something to his son, but the door behind him was quickly closed, and all he saw was the cold door panel.
Da Wu was very sad in his heart, and almost wanted to go back and take out the Gu he had planted with his own hands, so as to exchange it for the affection of his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren for him, but Xu Chang kept comforting him with clever words, saying that Meng Yan and they just couldn't think about it for a while, and the Gu cultivation would not affect anything, and it would be no harm to the body, and it would be fine if they thought about it in a few days. Slowly, Dawu also thought that what Xu Chang said was right, his son would want to open it in the future, and he could still enjoy the joy of family.
At this point, Xu Chang has completely controlled Dawu's behavior and even thoughts. The entire village is under the actual control of Xu Chang. During the years he was in charge of Miao Village, he used small favors to buy people's hearts, and on the other hand, he wantonly used all kinds of evil magic and poisonous Gu to attack the surrounding villages, so that all the nearby cottages talked about his perversion, and he couldn't compete with him, so he had to surrender to him.
Although the Miao people have been raising Gu worms since ancient times, some too vicious Gu worms such as Blood Gu and Heart Devouring Gu are still relatively taboo, because these Gu worms are not only too cruel, but the consequences of backlash are also quite terrible, even the black seedlings who rely on Gu Xingzhai are unwilling to touch. However, after Xu Chang took power, he began to breed and breed these evil Gu in large quantities, and not only the people in other villages suffered from it, but even the people in this village were not spared. In the past, few people raised these evil insects, and the experience of feeding control must be lacking, so I don't know how many people were counterattacked and died in horror during the breeding process. Slowly, the village began to complain, and people continued to complain to Dawu and question Xu Chang's approach. But the Great Witch was powerless to change anything, and could only say good words and persuade him, without any substantial help. However, it won't be long before the person who once complained to the Great Witch will die inexplicably, or have a strange illness, or have an accident.
I don't know who and when a saying came out, it is said that Xu Chang was sent by God to help the village, and to question him is to question God, so those people will die suddenly, this is God's warning to them! The people in the mountains are simple and attach the most importance to faith. I heard that everything was God's will, and gradually no one questioned it anymore and complained to the Great Witch. Xu Chang is also becoming more and more unscrupulous and reckless!
