Chapter 288 I cut his mouth

When Gu Xiaoxi heard the villagers say this, he guessed that there must be something wrong.

"Everyone, please be quiet. You will soon know what the so-called mountain god looks like." She shouted, asking everyone to be quiet.

The villagers were still discussing the matter, and Meng Nan shouted angrily, "If anyone says anything again, I'll cut his mouth open and make him speechless for the rest of his life!"

As soon as the words were spoken, there was a sudden silence.

Gu Xiaoxi hypnotized the old camel patriarch again and asked him to get the so-called mountain god out.

The old camel chief took out a whistle from his body and blew it a few times. Then two black snakes came out of the cave. Both snakes had triangular heads and were obviously poisonous.

These two snakes are not big, only about the length of two fingers.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxi took out two bottles from his body, smeared some medicine on the mouths of the two bottles, and then pointed the bottle mouths at the cave.

After a while, the two snakes obediently entered the bottle.

After waiting for a while, Gu Xiaoxi screwed the bottle cap on, drew two talismans on the bottle, and then handed it to Ying Si.

"I see, this is the mountain god you are talking about. If you are brave, you can come with me to see what is going on inside?" she said loudly.

Meng Nan was the first to step forward, followed by many people from Mengjiazhai.

Seeing that the men of Mengjiazhai are so courageous, the men of Tuojiazhai cannot be cowardly either.

Soon, a group of people holding torches followed Gu Xiaoxi into the cave.

Gu Xiaoxi came to the cave and found the nest of the two snakes. After making sure there were no snake eggs, she let everyone move on.

The cave was filled with animal bones, so many that it was terrifying.

"How can they eat so much when they are so small?" Meng Nan found it incredible.

"They don't eat meat, but drink blood. The meat is probably eaten by mountain rats or ants inside." Gu Xiaoxi made up a reason at random.

As to whether it was eaten by the two black snakes, no one can say for sure.

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, someone saw a rat bigger than a puppy and screamed in fright.

"Oh my god, that's a rat, such a big rat, it's so scary." The one who screamed was a woman from Mengjiazhai.

Everyone looked over and the big rat turned and ran away.

whoosh!

Meng threw a hidden weapon, and the big rat rolled to the ground after being hit.

Gu Xiaoxi walked over, took out a silver needle and tested the poison on the big rat.

The silver needle turned black when it was pulled out, which clearly showed that the rat was also poisonous.

However, she was quite curious about how the big rat could survive until now.

She tore off a long strip of cloth from her body and wrapped the dead rat with it.

"Let me get it!" A man from Mengjiazhai stepped forward and picked up the dead rat.

"Everyone, be careful. This rat is poisonous. I'm taking it back to see what kind of poison it has." Gu Xiaoxi told everyone his intention.

Seeing such a big poisonous rat, everyone became alert.

After walking a little further into the cave, they finally reached the end and saw a half-meter-high earth hole.

Gu Xiaoxi guessed that the poisonous rats came in from here, so she ordered everyone to block the hole and then drew a talisman on it to prevent the poisonous rats from coming in again.

whoosh!

She suddenly threw out two needles coated with anesthetic, one of which hit a big rat that was about to run away. The rat struggled for a few times and fainted.

"Do you have a cage for pheasants in your village? Get one for me." She turned her head and looked at the people from Tuojia Village.

Some villagers from Tuojia Village who followed him down the mountain looked at Gu Xiaoxi, and finally someone went back and brought a cage.

Gu Xiaoxi put the big rat into a cage and then handed it to a man in Mengjiazhai.

"Don't be afraid, it's fainted and won't wake up for a while."

Only after hearing this did the man dare to take the cage.

After touring the cave, Gu Xiaoxi came to the village and asked Meng Nan's men to bring over the old patriarch and his son, and of course, the hateful old woman.

"I guess this family hasn't done anything good in recent years. Except for this old woman, all the other women in her backyard should have been abducted, right?" Gu Xiaoxi said loudly.

The woman who had opened the door for them before, seeing that the whole family had been arrested, rushed to Gu Xiaoxi, knelt down, kowtowed and begged bitterly.

"Girl, please save me. I got lost when I went into the mountains with my father, and he brought me back.

My dad was even killed by him, wuwu...

I, I really want to go home, my mother and brother are waiting for us at home." She cried loudly and complained about the evil deeds of the old patriarch.

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, the two women she met behind her also came up and knelt on the ground to tell her their troubles.

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi understood that these three women came in with outsiders to dig herbs and were forced to marry them by the old camel patriarch.

Fortunately, none of the three women had children, otherwise it would have been even more difficult to get out.

"I'll take you out when I get out. You go back and pack your things. Take whatever you can. This family's life is coming to an end anyway." Gu Xiaoxi said domineeringly.

When they heard that the woman in front of them wanted to kill the family of the old patriarch Tuo, someone from Tuojiazhai immediately stood up.

"This family is worse than animals. Not only do they commit crimes outside, they also don't let the women in the village go.

A few years ago, my daughter was favored by his second son. After he forced her to marry him, she was so upset that she hanged herself on the big tree outside the village.

"Wow... my poor daughter!" the woman said, then sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Gu Xiaoxi asked, "How many sons does their family have?"

"Originally there were three of them, but they did so many bad things that the second one fell off a cliff and died a year ago. Also, maybe because they did so many bad things, they don't have any grandchildren at all." A villager said.

"It's better this way, so we don't have to harm the child." Gu Xiaoxi thought this was a good idea.

Turning back, she instructed Meng Nu, "Go check on the other women in their family and bring out any that seem problematic."

"I understand, Miss Xiaoxi." Ms. Meng took the order and retreated.

Next is the Tuojiazhai’s accusation against the Tuo Lao patriarch and his sons. These are the poor people who have suffered from their family.

Gu Xiaoxi was not in a hurry. After the criticism meeting was over, she let them choose a clan leader themselves.

As for the witch, she was too young and had a good attitude in admitting her mistakes. She also did a lot of things for the people in the village.

In addition, the witch knew medical skills, and everyone in the village needed her, so they kept her.

The newly elected clan leader is called Tuojia Dong, and he has a good reputation in the village.

Gu Xiaoxi also asked the old clan leader Quan and Meng Nan, but they both had good reputations so he didn't say anything else.

Anyway, having one more ally is better than having one more enemy.

In order to help the old patriarchs develop allies, on the third day, Gu Xiaoxi asked Ying Si to lead the team out, and she stayed here to take charge of the situation.

However, after Ying Si went out, he was entangled by Lai Yifeng, who insisted on following him into the mountains.
