Chapter 394: Twelve Poisonous Insects

Mali worried about money every day, but unexpectedly the high priest brought a turning point. He had never seen his aunt A'man, but he had heard the adults in the family mention his aunt since he was a child. They all said that his aunt was the most beautiful girl in Mazhai, but was killed by bad people.

When he was a child, he was very angry and thought that the truth was really what the adults said. However, the truth told by the high priest was completely different from what his family said, so he tended to agree with the high priest.

Although Mr. Yang was responsible for my aunt's death, the biggest reason was still my aunt herself.

Moreover, this man surnamed Yang has been tortured by his natal Gu for twenty-four years. Even if he owes his aunt, he should pay it back.

Now Mr. Yang is willing to donate money to build a school and hospital for the village. He feels that this is a turning point for Mazhai. He must seize the opportunity and never let the confused grandfather do bad things!

After Ma Li's persuasion, Old Man Ma stopped. He glared at Mr. Yang and the high priest unwillingly with a sullen expression.

"Everyone, please follow me. My grandma is very old, so please hurry!"

Mali spoke Mandarin very well, better than the high priest and Li Long, and he spoke in a very polite manner, which was very different from the mountain people.

He led everyone to see the grandmother. The old lady's hair was all white, but her beauty from her youth could still be vaguely seen. When she saw Mr. Yang, the old lady suddenly perked up and actually sat up by herself.

"A-Man loves you so much, why don't you like her?"

The old lady spoke Miao language, and Mali translated for her.

"I was once attracted to her, so I sent her to school, hoping she would learn to be sensible and polite, but she just wouldn't learn. Every day, she only cared about the women around me. I couldn't talk to female clients or meet with women. If she found out, she would make a scene. Ah Man's personality is too paranoid. Even if I forced her to marry, we would inevitably end up being a couple of grudges. So I stopped in time and explained it to her clearly, but unfortunately, she wouldn't listen..."

Mr. Yang sighed, what he said was from his heart.

Ah Man was really beautiful, bright and charming, like a phoenix in the sky. He was indeed moved by her, but he quickly put his feelings aside.

What he needs is a wife who is well-educated, gentle and generous, not Ah Man who is always petty. They are really not suitable.

"My parents and I discussed adopting Ah Man as our adopted sister and preparing a generous dowry for her when she got married. But fate played tricks on us. The Japanese invaders captured the provincial capital, and I was the only one left in the Yang family. Before my parents died, they told me to escape and revitalize the Yang family. I had to do it. I asked Ah Man to go back to the mountains, but she refused. I tried to ditch her several times, but she always followed me... ahem..."

Mr. Yang coughed violently and couldn't continue speaking.

"I've told you all what happened next. This guy did hurt Ah Man, but the problem lies with Ah Man herself. Ultimately, it's you, as parents, who failed to raise your daughter well. She clearly rejected you, so why did you keep pestering her? A forced melon won't be sweet. Didn't you teach Ah Man this lesson?"

The high priest spoke in a very bad tone. The people of Ma Village relied on their knowledge of witchcraft and acted brutally. In the final analysis, Ah Man was harmed by her parents and relatives.

"My daughter is very good, he is worse than a beast!"

Old man Ma cursed with gritted teeth. Until now, he still didn't think his daughter was wrong.

"Get out of here! I can't reason with you at all! Come here!"

The high priest pushed the person away in disgust and waved to Mali. It turned out that young people are sensible.

Ah Man's mother sighed, "This is all due to the bad karma from your past life. Ah Man is destined to suffer this disaster. I will remove the poison for you. I hope you will keep your word!"

"Please rest assured!"

Mr. Yang solemnly guaranteed.

A'man's mother was too weak. She was out of breath after just talking for a while, so she had to let Luo Weian take care of her body first.

Luo Weian took her pulse, his expression solemn. After leaving, he said, "She's almost dead. She's at the end of her rope. There's no cure."

"There's nothing you can do?"

Luo Xinxin asked.

"There's only one way. I'll use a golden needle to boost her energy. She'll last for half an hour, but after that, she'll die!"

Luo Weian came up with a solution, which was actually to overdraw the remaining life and concentrate it within an hour.

The high priest went to discuss with the Ma family, but none of them agreed. However, A'man's mother was willing.

"I don't have many days left to live anyway. If I can do something for the village, I can die with peace of mind. Let the doctor give me acupuncture. Ali, take out the jar from under my bed."

A'man's mother was very insistent, and the Ma family had no choice but to agree.

Mali took out a small black jar from under the bed and placed it in front of the bed.

Luo Weian gave A'man's mother acupuncture, and each needle was inserted into the heart meridian. After the last needle, the old lady's spirit improved visibly. She sat up by herself, took out a small knife from under the pillow, cut her finger, squeezed out the bright red blood, and dripped it into the jar.

Soon, a buzzing sound was heard in the jar, like insects flying.

"Come here and take off your mask!"

A'man's mother waved to Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang sat opposite her, took off his mask, revealing his horrible face covered with sores.

Ah Man's mother sighed, and the last trace of resentment in her heart disappeared. Her daughter died tragically, but the man also died tragically. It was all the sins of the previous life!

"Close your eyes! I didn't tell you not to open them!"

A'man's mother's voice was hoarse but soft, and Mr. Yang closed his eyes obediently.

Luo Xinxin opened her eyes wide, not wanting to miss anything. This was the legendary Gu. If she missed it, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Ah Man's mother dripped a lot of blood into the jar. The buzzing sound in the jar became louder and louder, and the lid began to vibrate. It was obvious that the insects inside were eager to fly out.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to enjoy the feast soon!"

Ah Man's mother spoke softly and continued to drip blood into the jar. Her face became paler and paler, and her body became shaky. The Ma family members were worried, but only Ah Man's mother could remove the natal Gu. The others could not help and could only stand by and worry.

After finally feeding it enough blood, Ah Man's mother opened the lid. With a buzzing sound, a black insect flew out and circled in front of Mr. Yang.

The insect was as big as a little finger and was completely black, but there was a strange red line on its back. The insect flew to the tip of Mr. Yang's nose, flapping its wings vigorously, making a harsh sound.

After a few minutes, a black head popped out of Mr. Yang's nostrils, looked out, and then went back in.

The Gu King outside became angry, flapping its wings faster and making a harsher sound. The insects hiding in its nostrils came out obediently, and everyone finally saw the appearance of the Gu insect clearly.

They were fat and looked like black caterpillars, and there were more than one. Luo Xinxin counted them and found that there were twelve in total.
