The older woman was startled, and said something to the woman who had woken up beside me, and she immediately walked to her backpack, picked up a dagger, and walked into the woods. It was also at this time that the older woman stared at me.

I used my consciousness to control the talisman Gu worm to attack her, but I don't know why I didn't succeed in the same way. The talisman beetle had just flown out and circled around me, but it didn't dare to fly towards the woman. If Ruan Geqi has a way to fight my talisman beetle, I can accept it, but this woman is even afraid of a Gu worm, how can she make my talisman beetle dare not get close? What's going on?

The woman didn't understand what the talisman beetle around me was, and when she saw it, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back.

Seeing this, I had an idea, secretly groped into the side pocket of my pants, opened the lid of the purple jade Gu bottle, and then let a thumb-sized red frog jump out and jump towards the woman.

This red frog was hatched from the eggs of those red frogs that Fan Shou put before, and there were originally more than a dozen small tadpoles in it a few days ago, but after they grew two hind legs, they began to kill each other in the Gu bottle, and the one who was alive was now this red frog. It had swallowed all of its siblings before. And in two days it grew into an adult frog the size of a thumb.

The woman hadn't noticed the red frog at first, but she didn't notice it until it jumped near her and croaked. When she looked down, it was a red tree frog, so frightened that she turned around and ran towards the woods with a shout.

Coincidentally, as soon as she ran in from one side, from the small tree on the other side, Xiaomeng's limping figure came out.

"Little dream!" Seeing this, I put away the Gu bottle in surprise and walked towards her.

Xiao Meng heard me call her, but made a "shhhh ”

I happened to walk up to her at this time, and she actually handed me the black jade Gu bottle without hesitation, and then pulled me towards the front of the valley.

The front of the valley was full of trees and weeds, so we didn't have long to run past before we were stopped by these things.

After running for about ten minutes, there was an angry shout from Ruan Geqi's elderly wife behind me, and when Xiao Meng saw this, his body stiffened for a moment, and then he accelerated his pace and ran forward with me.

She has inconvenient legs and feet, but she can run faster than me, which shows that she used to shuttle through such mountain roads a lot.

"Little Meng, why is Ruan Geqi not afraid of my talisman beetle?" After running for more than half an hour, we slowed down. I took the opportunity to ask Xiaomeng my doubts in English.

When Xiaomeng heard this, he replied to me, "It's because of the black bottle I just gave you." ”

It turned out to be the reason for the Moyu Gu Bottle! I said why didn't my talisman beetle come close to Nguyen Gechi just now.

"What does this bottle do?" Although I was asking Xiaomeng, I guessed in my heart.

Xiaomeng didn't hide it from me, saying that this black jade Gu bottle was her family heirloom, she didn't know what it was for before, but later her grandmother told her on her deathbed that putting her blood in this bottle would attract some highly poisonous insects, and then eating these insects would make her healthy or something. However, she was timid and didn't dare to eat those poisonous insects at all, so she hadn't opened the lid since the Moyu Gu bottle was passed into her hands. If she hadn't accidentally seen the white jade bottle in Wang Yang's hand that day, the shape was similar to hers, she wouldn't have taken it out for study, and it was discovered by Ruan Geqi.

Hearing this, I asked her again, "Don't you know that you are the descendant of the Gu Girl?" ”

"I didn't know, it was only after Ruan Geqi took away the ink jade Gu bottle in my hand that I heard him speculate. Originally, he wanted to kill me, but then he let me go because only my blood could attract poisonous insects into the bottle. When Xiaomeng mentioned Ruan Geqi, Xiaoxiao's face was full of anger.

I thought that this was her family's ancestral Gu bottle, so I hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the Gu bottle to her and said, "Since this is your family's heirloom Gu bottle, you should keep it." I just hope that when we open the tomb of the living Gu Man, please lend it to me. ”

Xiaomeng didn't come to pick it up, looked at me sincerely and said, "It's useless for me to ask for this Gu bottle, it's better for you to keep it." Originally, I just wanted to find a suitable man to marry in peace, so that I could have a home in the future. But I didn't expect to find a man like Ruan Geqi...... If you hadn't saved me that day, I guess I would have died in that cave with acid rain. This is a gift from me to repay you. ”

"I don't need you to repay you for saving you." I still want to excuse myself.

But Xiaomeng insisted on stuffing the Moyu Gu bottle into my side pocket, and smiled at me and said, "You can rest assured that your subordinates are fine, in fact, I still have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" Seeing that she insisted on giving me this black jade Gu bottle, I wouldn't be polite to her.

Xiaomeng suddenly paused, and said to me seriously: "I don't want to go back to Ruan Geqi to be a little wife, so I hope you are willing to take me in by your side." I don't have good feet, but I can still work. I do laundry, cooking, sewing, embroidery, knitting, everything. ”

Although her English pronunciation is not very standard, I can hear every word clearly, and I can't help but look at her nervous little face for a while.

I was also silently calculating in my heart, even though I was repeatedly betrayed by the people around me, first my cousin, then Wang Shumei and Ma Qiqi, but I didn't stop trusting others because of this. This will make me think that Xiaomeng is lonely, and if she is allowed to return to Ruan Geqi's side, it will undoubtedly be a dead end. Because she took the Moyu Gu bottle back to me. With Ruan Geqi's ruthless temperament, he will definitely not let her go. And my future life and death are uncertain, so I will leave her by Fan Shou's side, and I will take care of Shoubai Shouyu in the future.

"Absolutely. Originally, I didn't worry about you being by Ruan Geqi's side. When I saw Xiaomeng looking at me nervously and expectantly, I reached out to take her hand, but as soon as I reached over, several talisman beetles flew around my fingertips, as if trying to attack Xiaomeng. So, I hurriedly retracted my hand.

Xiaomeng didn't care about the talisman beetle, but instead grinned happily at me, showing her white teeth. Seeing her innocent appearance, my heart warmed slightly.

In fact, the more I was betrayed, the more I wanted to make a trustworthy friend.

Then we were worried that Ruan Geqi and they would catch up, and we didn't dare to stop all the way. But the further I went, the more I realized that something was wrong in front of me. We were actually out of the narrow valley of three people now, but, when we came out, there was a large dense forest in front of us. We don't have anything to fear from the forest alone, the key is that after we walked into the forest, I don't know where the white mist came out, and the mist still had a fishy smell.

I covered my nose and asked Xiaomeng next to me if she knew what it was, but she said she didn't know either. I asked her again if she knew how to get to the Living Gu Man Tomb, but she said that when Ruan Geqi hadn't driven Ma Qiqi away before, she had discussed the route with Ma Qiqi, saying that if you go all the way east in the Valley of Ten Thousand Worms, you can almost find the entrance to the Living Gu Man Tomb.

But now that we are obscured by this gradually thickening fog, let alone the southeast and northwest, it is very likely that we will not even be able to see left and right clearly.

However, I got to the point, "You just said that Ma Qiqi and they were driven away by Ruan Geqi?" ”

"Yes. Ruan Geqi saw that Ma Qiqi didn't have any Gu bottles in his hands, and he also figured out the route to the tomb of the living Gu people, and he didn't need them as a husband and wife, so he summoned the Siluo bottle and forced them away. Xiaomeng replied.

As she spoke, she also observed the scenery around her back and forth.

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh, "Heh, this Ma Qiqi has been calculating and calculating, and in the end, didn't he lose the Gu bottle and be driven away by Ruan Geqi." Just because she also wanted to snatch the things in the Gu people's tomb with Wang Yang and Ruan Geqi, she was really beyond her strength. ”

I rarely make fun of people, I don't laugh at people, and I wouldn't have done this if she hadn't hurt me too much before.

Because I spoke Chinese, Xiaomeng naturally didn't understand, and asked me what I was talking about, and I only said that it was okay. She shifted the subject to me, "Biluo, I find the trees in this forest so strange. ”

"Strange?" When I heard this, I stretched out my hand and waved the mist in front of me, looked at a tree in front of me, and realized that something was really wrong with the tree, as if something was squirming in the bark! "It's really weird!"

Seeing this, I subconsciously took out the eyebrow knife that Xiaomeng gave me from my pocket before, and leaned over to the bark, ready to cut the bark to see what was inside......
