The village chief walked over from a distance with a smile and showed Xiao Ruyu her "battle record" from yesterday.

Xiao Ruyu turned her head away, not wanting to watch.

[Eleven, I am too embarrassed to see anyone! ]

She roared in her heart, trying to think of a way to escape from here.

Seeing her hiding aside in shame, the village chief stopped smiling and explained his purpose.

"Mr. Yang, we have some news about the matter you wanted to investigate a few days ago."

Hearing that there was a clue to this matter, Doctor Yang could hardly suppress his excitement and asked, "What do you mean?"

The village chief welcomed them into the yard and spoke slowly.

"The person we sent out to get information a few days ago came back and said that he found the news in another village."

"I estimate that the other village is not too far from here. I will pack up and take you there today."

Doctor Yang quickly stood up and thanked him, "Then I'll trouble you, Village Master."

Xiao Ruyu also became excited and hurriedly urged Eleven to pack up quickly.

In the afternoon, several people embarked on their journey.

The other village was on the other side of the hill. The village chief led the way and set out on the road across the mountains.

Xiao Ruyu was held in Eleven's arms, looking around with her eyes rolling.

With the village chief leading the way, they didn't have to go through the mountains and forests.

Seeing the deep mountains and old forests nearby, Xiao Ruyu couldn't help but think of the poisonous insects in the dense forest that day.

Her whole body went numb, her neck shrank, and she kept muttering to herself.

[There are deep mountains and old forests everywhere here. Will the village chief throw us into them again? ]

When Xiao Ruyu was secretly speculating, the village chief next to him looked over.

"Don't worry, little kid. I won't do anything bad again."

He smiled secretly at Xiao Ruyu, seeing through her thoughts.

Xiao Ruyu's heart skipped a beat and her pupils suddenly dilated.

What's going on?

[No way?! Could it be that this village chief can also hear my thoughts? ]

Her expression was horrified, and she leaned back subconsciously, trying to stay away from the village chief.

Eleven quickly supported her back and whispered to the side.

"Don't worry, Eleven is still here."

"Ha ha."

The village chief looked at Xiao Ruyu with her eyes wide open and her mouth slightly open, thinking she was so adorable, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"The little kid is young, and everything on his face is obvious."

He stretched out his finger and scratched Xiao Ruyu's nose, smiling from ear to ear.

[So that's how it is. I was scared to death. ]

Xiao Ruyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

[It turns out that he was just guessing my thoughts based on my facial expressions, but he guessed pretty accurately. ]

She immediately straightened her face, put away her expression, and pretended to be serious and sophisticated.

Doctor Yang watched her expression change so quickly and couldn't help but laugh out loud in ridicule.

"They say a child's face is like the weather in June, it changes in an instant."

"It seems to be true."

Xiao Ruyu suppressed the corners of her mouth, holding back her smile, and glared at Doctor Yang with a coquettish look.

The atmosphere was cheerful along the way until we passed the mountain, when the sky began to darken.

Soon after, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Xiao Ruyu raised his head and looked at the rainy weather in confusion.

"It was still sunny just now, but the weather changed just after we passed the top of the mountain."

The village chief was exploring the way while explaining, "This mountain is shady on one side and sunny on the other. We were on the sunny side just now, so naturally we can't see the weather changes on this side."

He wiped the rain off his face and pointed to a village hidden deep in the woods not far away.

"That's it."

When we arrived at the gate of the village, someone was already waiting there.

An old man with gray hair, who looked about the same age as the village chief, came forward.

"Old Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Village Chief Wu responded with a smile and squeezed his hand, "Old Liu, the village has been busy lately."

He turned around and pointed at Xiao Ruyu and the other two, introducing them one by one.

"These are the young men I mentioned in your letter."

Village leader Liu warmly welcomed them into the village.

Xiao Ruyu looked around curiously and found that the structures of the villages were exactly the same.

After sitting down, Village Chief Wu couldn't wait to ask about the news.

"I saw in your reply that this incident did happen in your village?"

Village Master Liu paused while pouring tea, stopped what he was doing and sighed.

He looked up at the sky and pondered for a few seconds, as if lost in memories.

"I vaguely remember that many years ago, there was indeed a gifted young man who learned this Gu technique."

Xiao Ruyu and Eleven exchanged glances, unable to hide their excitement.

【The stinky brother’s illness can be cured. 】

Doctor Yang grabbed the chair and applied a little force with his fingers.

"Then this young man will definitely be able to break this witchcraft, right?"

Village Chief Liu was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

"Of course he can, but." He changed the subject and sighed softly, "Although he is gifted, he is not from Miaojiang."

These words undoubtedly caused an uproar.

Village Chief Wu almost jumped up with a grim look on his face.

"Learning witchcraft secretly? Doesn't that mean you have to offer it to the gods?"

"If the gods get angry, you'll be in big trouble, Old Liu."

However, Village Chief Liu shook his head, his words sounding quite helpless.

"That's not the case. We don't have such a saying in our village."

"Besides, I think it's a pity that he has such talent at such a young age."

"After we drove him away from the village, there was no trace of him anymore."

The hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again. Xiao Ruyu held Eleven's hand tightly, her nose felt sore and she almost cried.

[Why is there no news again? Where did this boy go? ]

"How can that be possible!"

The old stubborn Wu Zhaizhu slapped the table and said, "People like this should be sacrificed to the gods. This is a great disrespect to the gods!"

"How could you be so confused, Lao Liu?!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had become awkward, Doctor Yang quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Forget it, now that we know the news, we will definitely be able to find clues in the future."

He patted Village Chief Wu's shoulder gently to calm him down.

"If we can find this person in the future, we will bring him back to you for disposal!"

[Many years ago, based on the time, I always felt that this matter was not that simple. ]

Xiao Ruyu's thoughts fell into the ears of Doctor Yang, who quickly added a sentence.

"If this person is the one who cast the curse, we will naturally not forgive him!"

Village Chief Wu was coaxed to sit down, his expression still looking somewhat ugly.

Taking this opportunity, Doctor Yang immediately asked about the method of removing the poison.

"I heard that this poison only needs to remove the mother poison. I wonder if the two village masters have a method to remove it."

Xiao Ruyu looked at the two village chiefs in front of him eagerly, wanting to get some information from them.

But the next second, the two village chiefs shook their heads at the same time.

"I have asked around these past few days, and no one in the village can cure this poison."
