After trying to set a few words from Cuicui, I was sure that she was not pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but she was simple-hearted.

Our village is Cuicui's hometown, hidden deep in the mountains and forests, and has had little contact with the outside world for many years. Cuicui lives here as a child, and naturally she doesn't know the sinister way of the outside world.

Cuicui told me that someone had found me by the stream outside the village three days ago and had rescued me and sent me here for treatment.

Listening to her, the so-called "blood mother-in-law" should be the witch doctor in the village. Cuicui has been learning witchcraft and medicine with Granny Blood since she was six years old, and will inherit the position of witch doctor in the village in the future.

I'm not interested in witch doctors, and judging from the healing methods that Granny Blood has used on me, her methods are the same as those of the legendary Gu Poisoner, who likes to use all kinds of Gu poison insects.

Those Gu worms can save people, but they can also harm people. If Granny Blood is really a Gu Poison Master, then I must stay away, and it's best not to have too much to do with her.

After getting dressed in a hurry, I felt that my strength had basically recovered, and there was even a trend of further progress, which made me somewhat relieved.

"Hurry up and follow me when your clothes are on, Granny Blood is also very concerned about your injuries. These days, she asks every night. Cuicui urged.

Just one question a day? That's right, this is a sign that Granny Blood "cares" about my injuries.

From Cuicui's mouth, I learned that Granny Blood herself has an indifferent personality, does not like to talk and is not good at expressing her feelings.

In Cuicui's impression, the blood mother-in-law has a straight face all the year round, and she is always expressionless. Not to mention a smile, even a frown is rarely seen.

It is already a great honor for me to be asked by Granny Blood every day. Almost everyone in the village has been healed by Granny Blood, but she has never cared for anyone.

Granny Blood has always given people to Cuicui after helping others heal, and she almost never asked again. If it can be cured, it is fate, and if it cannot be cured, it is also fate.

With trepidation, I followed Cuicui out of the room. When I walked out the door, I was greeted by the view and felt refreshed.

The village is not big, but it is very beautiful. In the mist, dozens of small bamboo buildings stand by the small lake, and the elderly and children in the village are at ease, like a paradise.

"It's beautiful!" I couldn't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, Cuicui suddenly blushed, and said very shyly: "What are you talking about, you can't let others hear it, otherwise...... Otherwise, how will I see people in the future? ”

I was petrified all of a sudden, I ...... I really didn't mean that. I really want to make it clear so that Cuicui doesn't misunderstand.

But I really can't say this kind of thing, in case it is really stupid to explain, first of all, it will be a major blow to Cuicui, and secondly, I am also worried that she will be annoyed and angry, and turn around and cause me some trouble.

I smiled awkwardly, "Let's ...... Let's hurry up and see Granny Blood! ”

Cuicui put away her shyness at this time, but there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, which looked sweet, which made me feel faintly uneasy.

There was no barrier to my communication with Cuicui, she spoke Mandarin and it was quite standard. The rest of the village, however, spoke a dialect that I didn't understand.

Granny Blood lives in the corner of the village, and a bamboo building looks very magnificent, which can be regarded as a luxurious building in the whole village.

On the way to Granny Blood's residence, many people greeted Cuicui. When they communicated, they spoke in tongues, which I didn't understand at all.

I don't know what they said, but they all looked at me with strange eyes, smiles on their lips, and my heart became more and more worried.

"Cuicui, what did you just talk about?" Walking over to a place where no one was, I asked in a whisper.

Cuicui smiled happily: "It's nothing, they are all praising you, praising you for your good looks and looking strong." ”

Compared to the people in this village, I really don't look ugly. And after the devil training of Instructor Takefu, my current body shape also looks very toned.

But...... Will they be idle and talk to Cuicui about this?

I seemed to understand their strange gaze just now, and when these people looked at me, it was clear that they were mothers-in-law looking at their future son-in-law.

No, no, no, I must have read it wrong! I had to comfort myself so much from the bottom of my heart.

When he was about to approach the bamboo building of the blood mother-in-law, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. In the vicinity of this bamboo building, no one approached it at all, and the bamboo building always exuded a cold atmosphere, and there was also a bad smell.

"Mother-in-law, the person you saved has woken up, I brought him over!" Cuicui shouted loudly.

After a long while, a neutral voice came from the bamboo building: "Got it, you guys come in together!" ”

Under Cuicui's leadership, I entered the bamboo building. As soon as I entered, I saw an old lady with a tough body and a ruddy complexion.

Cuicui mentioned that Granny Blood is at least eighty years old now. But it seems that if Granny Blood is about the same age as those retired aunts who dance square dances, I don't doubt it at all.

"Alas, what a pity! Cuicui, you did something bad with good intentions this time! Granny Blood, sitting cross-legged on a straw mat, looked up at me as I entered.

When she said this, Granny Blood's eyes were full of regret. After that, she closed her eyes and stopped looking at me, as if she was continuing to meditate.

Cuicui frowned slightly, and muttered unhappily: "Mother-in-law, isn't it a good thing that he wakes up now?" There is nothing wrong with his body and he is healthy. ”

Granny Blood closed her eyes and shook her head: "If you go with the flow, his strength can go further." Now, he can only continue to get stuck on this hurdle. ”

My heart moved, and the blood lady knew that I was now in the late stage of refining qi and transforming gods? Do you know I'm in a critical period of progression?

I frowned, if Granny Blood's words were true, Cuicui really ruined my big thing unintentionally.

But on second thought, they saved my life, and I don't need to care about those details. Not being able to take this opportunity to advance to refining the gods is also my life.

"Go down first, Cuicui, and don't let him run around the village. After three days, I will personally send him out, and we can't have any outsiders here. Granny Blood said in a deep voice.

Cuicui muttered, not knowing what to complain about, and then honestly led me out of the bamboo building of the blood mother-in-law.

In fact, there are still countless doubts hidden in my heart, but Granny Blood didn't leave me a chance to ask questions at all. She didn't seem to want to talk to me at all, or even ignore me at all.

After leaving, Cuicui complained a few more words: "Mother-in-law is good at everything, but she doesn't want to let the people in our village contact with the outside world." A few years ago, some people came to our village with injuries, but they were sent away by my mother-in-law before their injuries were completely healed. ”

It can be seen that Cuicui is still full of curiosity about the outside world. Who hasn't been a little curious at this age? It is estimated that other young people in the village also have the same thoughts as her.

I feel more and more that this village is very strange, since Granny Blood does not allow the people in the village to contact the outside world, then who did she and Cuicui learn Mandarin from?

And the village is not very large, at most a few hundred people. In this deep mountain, eating and drinking are not the most troublesome things, I wonder how they reproduce?

There are too few people in the village, and if you don't have contact with outsiders for a long time, there will definitely be a situation where close relatives will marry after a long time. In the long run, the whole village may gradually die.

"Cuicui, how do all the young people in your village get married?" Thinking about it, I subconsciously asked.

A shy smile appeared on Cuicui's face again: "What are you anxious about, the matter between the two of us is not yet decided." I was going to tell Granny Blood about the two of us just now, but ...... Heck, I've got to find time to talk to my mother-in-law, or she'll really send you away." ”

The two of us had been in Granny Blood's room for less than five minutes in total, and Cuicui didn't have time to say anything else. According to Cuicui's experience, Granny Blood doesn't want to be disturbed now, so she can only find time to talk about it later.

I wish Cuicui would never find the right time, what are you kidding, the two of us are just meeting each other, how can we give the marriage event so confused?

And if I marry Cuicui, do I have to stay in the village in the future? With the character of the blood mother-in-law, she won't allow me to get out of here again, right?

No, she should cut off this unreliable idea from the source, and she won't let me stay at all. Maybe she was in a hurry to get away with us, just because she didn't want Cuicui to say what was in her heart.

"That...... Cuicui, don't get me wrong, the two of us actually ......," I explained.

Before I could finish speaking, Cuicui's face suddenly changed: "Quick, follow me!" ”

Before I could figure out what was going on, Cuicui had already pulled me and hurried back to the bamboo building where she lived.

Back in the room, Cuicui closed the door of the room in a panic, and then closed the window tightly, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

"What's wrong?" After Cuicui was done, I asked in a low voice.

"Shhhh Don't talk! Cuicui's voice was even quieter, and she seemed to be scared.

She crept down against the window, carefully peering out the crack in the window. I was also curious to take a few looks, only to see a group of people wearing black cloaks passing outside the bamboo building.

Those people walked forward with their heads down, and I couldn't see their faces clearly. However, judging by their body shape, these people should all be male and very athletic.

"These people are young adults in the village?" I asked in a whisper.

When I went out before, I saw a lot of old people and children in the village, and some women who were busy working, but I didn't see any young people at all.

I subconsciously thought that the young adults were going out hunting or looking for food. But looking at the people passing by outside the bamboo building, they didn't look like they were out hunting at all.

"Yes, you must not meet them! They're all crazy and will kill you! Cuicui's eyes showed a look of worry, and she said very seriously.
