Everyone looked closely and saw that the spider, which had been flattened, was slowly moving after sucking the pus and blood from Aunt Zhang's arm, as if it had come to life.
Not only that, its body continued to expand and was now as big as a baby's fist.
Yun Ruoxi's expression suddenly changed, unable to conceal her panic, and she blurted out, "What on earth is this?"
Xiao Jingrui looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Look at its appearance, it looks like a poisonous insect from the Miao area, but it has mutated for some reason."
A mutated poisonous insect?
Yun Ruoxi suddenly felt unwell all over. Just looking at the spider made her feel itchy all over, as if countless small insects were crawling under her skin.
Mu Ruxue even hugged her arms, got goose bumps, and screamed, "Oh my God, this is too disgusting!"
After saying this, Mu Ruxue seemed to have thought of something, and her expression tightened. "Brother, when you grabbed Aunt Zhang's arm just now, didn't you just happen to squash this spider?"
As expected, the pain in Aunt Zhang's body had eased a lot at this time. When she heard Mu Ruxue's words, her body suddenly stiffened.
Mu Ruxue was sharp-eyed and immediately pointed at her and shouted, "See, I guessed it right!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and suddenly rushed towards Mu Ruxue.
She raised her pus-soaked arm high up and lashed it hard at Mu Ruxue's face like a whip.
As Aunt Zhang moved, the pus on her arm splashed everywhere. Even though everyone stayed away, many people were still affected.
Mu Ruxue was so frightened that her face turned pale. Just when she thought she was going to die, she found herself standing steadily on the roof of the carriage, successfully avoiding Aunt Zhang's attack.
Xiao Jingrui cleverly avoided Aunt Zhang's arm and kicked her next to Xiao Jingtian's tombstone.
Everyone hurriedly controlled the carriage and galloped to a place far away from the pus before stopping.
Seeing her plan fail, Aunt Zhang suddenly hugged her son's tombstone and let out a shrill laugh. "Hahahahahaha, you thought you'd be alright if you just stayed away? My 'Cinnabar Gu-worm Mother' has absorbed corpse qi. It was originally just a mind-controlling Gu, but now it's become the mother of all Gu. If you smell this pus, within three days, you'll all go to hell with me!"
Yun Ruoxi was filled with helplessness. Why did she always run into this crazy woman who was trying to take revenge on society?
When everyone present heard this, their faces turned pale instantly.
If what Aunt Zhang said was true, then wouldn't they be in great danger and not live long?
Yun Ruoxi thought of the magical effect of the spiritual spring water just now, and knew in her heart that she had a way to save everyone.
Besides, there is water from the Five-Colored Pond, so detoxification should not be difficult.
But now we are in this remote wilderness, there is no suitable place for everyone to take a bath, and it is not easy to completely remove the toxins.
"I have a way to save everyone, I just need a bath, but it's really inconvenient here." Yun Ruoxi said with a frown.
Xiao Jingrui instantly understood what she meant, turned to look at Liu Yong, and asked anxiously: "How long will it take us to reach the next post station?"
Liu Yong thought for a moment and replied, "If we take a carriage, it will take two hours to get there."
Xiao Jingrui calculated in his mind that Aunt Zhang was talking about three days, and it would take two hours to get to the post station, so there was plenty of time.
"Madam, what should we do now?"
Yun Ruoxi's expression was stern as she spoke in a deep voice, "Madam Zhang is now the host of the 'Cinnabar Guworm Lady.' If she is not burned to death, the worm will continue to suck her blood for nutrients. This 'Cinnabar Guworm Lady' cannot be killed; only fire can control it."
Mu Ruxue's face was filled with anxiety. She quickly asked, "What should we do? Is there no other way?"
"Of course there is a solution. Most poisonous creatures are afraid of fire. As long as we burn them to death, the problem will be solved."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang was horrified. She had never imagined they would actually dare to burn her alive. She screamed, "No, you can't do this! You're defying the law! If you burn me to death, how will you report to the border?"
Liu Yong's eyes were icy as he said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, the death of a few people can still be handled properly."
Aunt Zhang originally thought that the eldest wife had only been able to get by by currying favor with the officials. But now, seeing Liu Yong's attitude, she realized that they were clearly in cahoots. Fear suddenly surged in her heart: "Don't kill me, I can give you the antidote."
Mu Ruxue retorted mercilessly, "Are you sure you still have the antidote? Your own arm is so rotten, what can you give us the antidote?"
When everyone heard this, they all understood. Aunt Zhang couldn't even save herself, so how could she save others?
At this time, Xiao Bin, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally stopped pretending to be deaf and dumb and said coldly: "You can do whatever you want with Zhang, but our second branch will not want her anymore."
Although Aunt Zhang had expected this, she still felt a pang of pain when she heard it with her own ears.
Over the years, she had gradually become a concubine from a maid, and she had also had expectations for Xiao Bin. Now it seems that she was wrong after all.
Concubine Zhang, on the other hand, quieted down and looked at Xiao Bin with a complicated expression: "Xiao Bin, ever since Tian'er passed away and you ignored him, I should have known what kind of person you were."
Xiao Bin felt a pang of fear, but he still pretended to be calm: "What nonsense are you talking about? Tian'er was injured by the swords of the bandits. What does it have to do with me?"
"Yes, it has nothing to do with you. But how many days has Tian'er been gone? Every time I talk to you about burial, you make excuses. If the body wasn't about to stink, would you have gone to the officials to complain about this?"
Xiao Bin subconsciously wanted to refute, but Aunt Zhang didn't give him a chance and pressed on: "You don't need to explain. Everyone here knows who you are. You are a complete villain! Hahahaha, I have done so many shameful things for you over the years, and you just take it for granted."
