Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Thank you, little spider
"You're talking nonsense! I don't like him!"
The spider screamed hysterically and tore the orchid silk scarf in her hand. She didn't dare to face her feelings, but Yin Jinglong pressed her step by step.
"You don't dare admit it because you're afraid that if you break the window paper of this relationship, your master will probably abandon you, right?"
She drew her silver blade and pressed it against his Adam's apple, her eyes widening as she retorted, "How much better are you, then? You're willing to sacrifice your life for a woman who doesn't like you, but what about her? She's still only thinking about getting back to her A-Jiang."
Yin Jinglong suddenly laughed loudly and denied, "Of course I'm different from you. Even if I can't win her heart, at least I can keep her. She just told me that she wants to stay in this shabby place and take care of me until I can stand up again. Oh, after she said that, I suddenly don't want to stand up anymore. What should I do?"
"Did she really say that to you?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise you wouldn't have gifted me that personal item."
The spider reluctantly sheathed its silver blade, silently cursing Hanyu, a fickle woman. But despite the curses, a secret joy filled its heart. If it could trap Min Hanyu in Miao Village, rendering her unable to reunite with her master, then wouldn't it have a chance...
Just as she was lost in thought, Hanyu came back with a wooden barrel. Seeing the spider that had disappeared for a long time, she immediately put down the barrel, picked up the hoe by the fence and swung at the spider.
"You evil woman who has caused so much harm to others, I will kill you today!"
The love rivals were extremely jealous of each other when they met, and the spider was not willing to be outdone. She was agile and dodged Hanyu's attack with a turn of the body, and the silver blade in her hand scraped Hanyu's sleeve.
"I was just looking for you, but you came to me? You want to kill me? I wanted to kill you!"
The two women fought each other, and Hanyu, who had no martial arts skills, was at a disadvantage. If the spider had not really wanted to kill her, her throat would have been cut through by the silver blade.
Yin Jinglong, standing by, crossed his arms and looked at them appraisingly: "Have you had enough fighting?"
Hanyu threatened the spider: "If you dare to hurt me, your master will not let you go."
"you!"
The spider had no way to deal with her, so it had to put away the silver-bladed knife. The two disliked each other, but they could do nothing about each other. In the end, they could only choose to reconcile temporarily, as there were more important things that needed to be resolved.
Han Yu questioned the spider in front of Yin Jinglong: "Tell me! What kind of conspiracy do you and your master have? Why does he want to act under the identity of Prince Yin?"
"Humph! If you ask me, do I have to tell you?"
The spider squinted at her, then glanced at the man in the wheelchair. "The master just wants to take back what originally belonged to him. How can this be a conspiracy? Besides, you keep saying you love Ah Jiang? But instead of helping him, you're actually fooling around with his brother? You're totally shameless!"
"Who are you calling the fool?"
Hanyu really wanted to take a knife and cut off the spider's merciless mouth, so that she could stop talking nonsense and ruin her reputation!
She wanted to argue with the spider, but Yin Jinglong interrupted, "I don't need a lowly witch like you to get permission to be with anyone, right? You might as well think about how to help your master prove his fake identity. Don't let anyone expose him. After all, deceiving the king is a serious crime!"
"Master and you are twin brothers, so you can easily pass for real. Now that he has obtained the Jade Seal of Regent's power, no one dares to question his identity."
"Really? Others might not be able to tell, but what about the people closest to you?"
Yin Jinglong stroked the golden heart-shaped locket around his neck, looking thoughtful.
He and his brother have been together since the womb. After they were born, they were raised together by Princess Chunyu. Although they were born of the same mother and raised together, their personalities are completely different.
The brother who is gentle and sensible in the eyes of others is actually a two-faced person who is good at disguising himself in front of his younger brother.
Therefore, when Hanyu only saw her brother's disguised gentle side, it was not surprising that she would scold him for being cruel and ruthless, little did she know that her brother was far more cruel than her.
He asked the spider, "There's something I'm puzzled about. Three years ago, Yin Jingheng, the great general of the Great Yin Dynasty, unexpectedly lost his memory and disappeared atop the snowy mountains, transforming into the Snow Maiden's husband, Ajiang. He could have lived a peaceful life with her, but why did he mysteriously disappear again two months ago, the day I set foot in the snowy mountains? Why did he end up in the Miao village of Southern Xinjiang, and how did he become the master of a demon like you?"
What he wanted to know was also what Hanyu wanted to ask, but she didn't think the spider would tell them frankly.
The spider looked at the messenger spider in her hand and recalled the day she first met her master two months ago.
Like the Snow Mountain Tomb Guarding Clan, the Miao Village in Southern Xinjiang is also an ancient tribe. The terrain here is surrounded by mountains and rivers, making it a suitable place to live. However, the weather here is hot and humid all year round, and the tribe members are often plagued by plague.
In order to find a way to cure the plague, the Miao people found the method of making Gu from the ancient books left by their ancestors. However, making Gu requires a medium. It happened that the jungles in southern Xinjiang are dense all year round and rich in various insects, so insect Gu came into being.
The art of refining Gu, which has been passed down from generation to generation by the Miao people, is not something that everyone can master. It requires not only innate talent, but also the courage to try it out on one's own body. Many people are poisoned to death by the poisonous insects before they can even refine the Gu. Even if some of them survive, they are left with a half-crippled body.
Although the spider was a native Miao, she was regarded as unlucky by the villagers because she was born with an evil insect in her body. Although she had the talent to make poisonous insects, the poisonous insects she made were all poisonous, which was contrary to the original intention of the Miao ancestors to make poisonous insects.
Her parents had eight daughters, and she was the youngest. Her parents had wanted to raise her as a son until she was eight years old, but they could not stand the gossip behind her back from the villagers, so they had to abandon her outside the village.
Therefore, the spider started living alone since he was eight years old, surviving by picking up leftovers, sleeping secretly in other people's cowsheds at night, and had to leave before being discovered at dawn.
No one in the village liked her. They would avoid her whenever they saw this dirty girl covered in spiders. Her parents and seven sisters were unwilling to acknowledge her.
After living like this for ten years, the spider grew up and found a secluded place next to the grave mountain and built a thatched hut as his own shelter.
She was thought to be living an ordinary life, and she had long been accustomed to other people's strange looks. Even the children in the village would pick up stones and throw them at her if they saw her, and would also curse her as a "monster".
Therefore, she usually doesn't go out during the day, and even if she does, she will take a detour to a deserted, remote path.
Just two months ago, her messenger little gray spider flew out to find food and did not return for a long time. She was worried that the little gray spider she raised would be eaten by a snake, so she followed the spider silk left by the gray spider to find it.
Unexpectedly, that night she met a young man in red wedding clothes at the entrance of the village. The man looked to be just a man of age, but his hair was full of silver hair. The style of his wedding clothes was very different from that of the Miao people, and her little gray spider was lying in his palm.
The spider walked closer and saw that the man was letting the small gray spider suck the blood from his palm.
She exclaimed, "This spider is poisonous. Do you want to die?"
Not only was the man not afraid at all, but he gently stroked the rough legs of the little gray spider with his fingertips.
He recognized at a glance that this spider was not an ordinary poisonous spider, but a poisonous insect, and he needed this poison to cure his incurable disease.
"Are you the owner of this spider poison?"
The spider nodded.
"Could you lend it to me for a few days?"
"Yeah, okay."
She was moved unconsciously from the moment she saw the man's handsome face, so she didn't care what he said at all.
The man claimed to be from the royal family of the Central Plains. He was seriously injured in the snowy mountains, causing him to lose all his martial arts skills. He lived in the snowy mountains for three years and tried to find all possible ways to cure him, but to no avail.
Until one day, he sneaked into the temple of the elders of the tomb-guarding tribe and found an ancient book, which recorded the ancient villages passed down from ancient times, including the Miao village in Southern Xinjiang. The Miao Gu in Southern Xinjiang can cure many incurable diseases.
So he left the snow-capped mountains and went to the Miao village in southern Xinjiang alone. Fortunately, God was kind to him and he met the little gray spider as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Miao village.
This poisonous spider, which was different from ordinary spiders, seemed to love sucking his blood. He might as well try to let it suck a few mouthfuls. The poison entered his body through the wound on his palm, and he felt that his dantian seemed to be able to gather his energy.
This made him even more convinced that his martial arts skills might one day be restored.
"Thank you, little Spider."
The man from the Central Plains treated the spider with courtesy and would not borrow her little gray spider for nothing. He gave the spider the snow lotus he brought from the snow mountain as a reward.
The spider was flattered by the sudden respect and gratitude. Before this, she had always thought that she was a monster and that everyone was afraid of her, avoided her, and did not need her.
This feeling of being needed was really a happy one, so she volunteered to make Gu for the man. As long as it was a Gu that could cure his illness, no matter how severe the backlash was, she was willing to make it.
She didn't know the man's real name, but she was willing to accept him as her master. He treated her better than any of her relatives.
When her master was taking the poison, she would always hide aside and peek at him, looking at his handsome profile, his snow-white hair hanging down over his strong waist, his angular face with brows that were sometimes relaxed and sometimes furrowed. His every move caught the spider's heart.
The spider, who had never been attracted to anyone, experienced the feeling of love for the first time in her life. With this first feeling, she refined the love Gu.
Because she is unable to fall in love with her master, the feelings she feels are also sad and lost. She will even feel heartbroken because of her master's occasional careless neglect, so she named this love Gu "Heart-Eating Gu".
She has always treasured the mother heart-eating insect and dared not express her feelings to her master. She did not dare to hope that her master would like her one day. She silently guarded her master and thought it would be fine to live like this for the rest of her life.
Until one day, an uninvited guest came to the village and broke the peaceful and beautiful life between her and her master.
