When the old man told the origin of the poisonous insect, Doctor Yang felt numb all over and his eyes were filled with excitement that he could not hide.
"Do you know how to solve this problem?"
The old man shook his head, expressing his helplessness. "The only way to cure the poison is to find a way to remove the mother poison, but this mother poison..."
There was a noticeable pause in his tone, with a hint of criticism.
"Ordinary people would not know such a vicious Gu technique, and this mother Gu should be in that person's hands."
"We Miao people from all generations have always looked down upon such despicable people."
"But inevitably there will be some people who have evil intentions!"
Doctor Yang understood the meaning of his words and knew it instantly.
The person who cast the poison must have been someone from Miaojiang involved!
Seeing that the old man had some skills, Doctor Yang bowed.
"I am alone and weak, so I beg the old man to come out and help me save my child's life!"
Xiao Ruyu bit her lip and looked at the old man nervously.
I didn't expect that after traveling thousands of miles to look for a way to remove the poison, I would accidentally find a skilled person here.
In other words, my stinky little brother’s illness can be cured!
But what was unexpected was that the old man did not hesitate at all and shook his head slowly.
"No, I will not leave this forest, let alone." He stretched out his hand to pull up Doctor Yang and sighed helplessly.
"I have just told you how to remove this poison."
"To get rid of the mother poison, all strategies have been exhausted!"
"Even if I go there, it won't help."
Xiao Ruyu's heart suddenly sank into an icy cave, and the hope that had just ignited was extinguished in a basin.
Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
"What's going on?"
The old man noticed her movements, nervously followed her and took her pulse.
"The little kid just had a bowel movement and is too weak to stay in this forest for long. You should get out."
He waved his hand and whistled towards the depths of the forest.
"Woof woof!" The vicious dogs from before rushed out of the woods, threw themselves into the old man's arms, and rubbed his chest in a flattering manner.
"Da Huang, take them out of the woods."
"Just go northwest. If there's anything stupid on the road, bite it to death!"
The old man whispered in the vicious dog's ear and gave detailed instructions.
Xiao Ruyu felt completely hopeless and lay in Doctor Yang's arms, unable to cry anymore.
[Master, is there really no other solution? ]
She turned her head away aggrievedly, her throat tightening.
Seeing her like this, Eleven felt uncomfortable.
He leaned close to Xiao Ruyu's ear and whispered, "Didn't the old man say that there is still a way? Let's go out first and talk about it."
Doctor Yang also touched her head comfortingly, thanked the old man, and started his journey back.
The vicious dog led the three people westward and soon they were out of the dense forest.
Xiao Ruyu reached out and touched the vicious dog's head reluctantly, and said softly, "We'll leave first, and we will come back to bring you roast chicken later."
The vicious dog crouched down, barked softly, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
At the same time, Xiao Ruyu could see clearly that the dense forest was right behind the village.
A villager was doing farm work in the field. He suddenly saw the three people and felt as if he had seen a ghost.
"Ah——" After shouting loudly, he turned around and ran back to the village.
Eleven became alert instantly and pulled Xiao Ruyu to leave.
"Hurry up, the people in the village will catch up with us soon!"
Before I could take a few steps, Xiao Hu's voice came from behind.
"Mr. Yang, please stay."
Xiao Hu and the villagers just now walked over quickly, looked at the three people carefully, then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
"I didn't expect that the gods would forgive you. Please come back to the village with us."
He raised his head, his face showing true emotion, "We will treat you with the highest etiquette, people blessed by the gods!"
Xiao Ruyu was confused by what she heard, and only Doctor Yang knew what was going on.
These people had misunderstood them in the first place, and now they mistakenly believed that the gods had forgiven their sins, so they naturally wanted to ask them to go back.
"Ahem..." Doctor Yang cleared his throat, "In that case, let's go back with you."
【Master, they are bad people. 】
Xiao Ruyu tugged at Doctor Yang's sleeve and stamped her feet in dissatisfaction.
"They just misunderstood us before, and now we have to go back and clear up the misunderstanding."
Doctor Yang whispered and followed Xiao Hu back to the village.
The village chief had just learned the news and hurriedly waited at the entrance of the village.
As soon as he saw the three people appear, he hurried over, knelt on the ground, and made a mysterious gesture with his hands.
"Those blessed by the gods, please come this way."
Doctor Yang waved his hand, helped him up, and prepared to explain everything.
"We are not the ones blessed by the gods, but we misunderstood from the beginning."
When he told the village chief that he was looking for the poisonous insect in order to save people, he stood there in a daze, apologizing repeatedly.
"We misunderstood you. Please come over here and let's sit down and talk in detail."
The village chief treated the three people as guests of honor, wiped the sweat off his forehead nervously, and sighed.
"Our village was originally established to protect the existence of Miaojiang Gushu."
“If anyone else comes to learn Gu Shu, we will all consider it as angering the gods, and we will sacrifice these people to the gods. This is the only way to keep the village safe forever.”
Seeing what a big misunderstanding it had been from beginning to end, Xiao Ruyu was quite helpless.
[If I had known this earlier, I would have made it clear at the beginning and saved myself from all this suffering. ]
Doctor Yang shrugged helplessly, blaming himself for not explaining it clearly at the beginning. "It's understandable. The Miao village originally stayed away from the world and didn't care about worldly affairs."
He paused, suddenly remembering the meaning of the old man's words.
"But this witchcraft seems to have leaked out."
When the village chief heard this, he also became nervous.
"Where did you get this from?"
When Doctor Yang mentioned the mother-child Gu, he clearly saw the village chief's face change.
He slammed his fist on the table, angrily.
"Someone actually learned the witchcraft secretly and used it on a child in such a despicable way!"
"So when I came back today, I wanted to ask if anyone in this village has learned this Gu technique before."
Doctor Yang took the opportunity to express his request and clenched the teacup in his hand.
The village chief readily agreed, and stood up for the injustice. "Of course you can! Even if Young Master Yang doesn't tell me, I will find this person!"
"He broke the rules of our ancestors and angered the gods! This person cannot be allowed to live in this world!"
Seeing that he agreed, Doctor Yang breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and bowed, "Then I'll have to trouble the village chief."
The village chief called Xiao Hu and asked him to investigate the matter thoroughly and inquire about the relevant Gu Masters. Then he turned his head and looked at the three people.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to find any trace of this matter for a while, so I'll have to trouble Young Master Yang to stay here and wait for news."
Doctor Yang naturally agreed.
Xiao Ruyu was a little scared, and looked around cautiously, fearing that what happened last time would happen again.
Her eyes rolled around and she whispered to Eleven in her heart.
[Eleven, there are no good people here, so we should be more careful.]
