Chapter 412 Premature Poisoning! The Secret of the Butterfly
Oh no?
What's wrong?
Li Qinglu felt a heavy thud in her heart.
"Could it be because the poison in my body has become more severe?"
Ah Jin: "No!"
"I overlooked this crucial point!"
"It's too late, let's hurry to Wanjia Village!"
However, by the time everyone arrived at the well at the entrance of Wanjia Village, it was already too late.
Under the cover of night, Zhuiyu and his team secretly poured the antidote into the well.
Because it was summer, the villagers were feeling restless and hot, so every household was queuing up to fetch water.
Some people plan to pick some mint leaves, boil them in hot water, and use them to cool down and quench their thirst in the middle of the night.
Some people even stand directly on the water ladle, scoop it up, and gulp down the cold water.
Some people also take them home to shower and bathe their families to cool them down and relieve dryness.
"I don't know what's wrong with the weather this year. These days are just too hard to bear."
"Exactly, as soon as I get home and see my wife, I feel incredibly agitated. But it's not that kind of agitation, damn it, I feel like I'm possessed."
"What? You guys feel the same way? I thought I was the only one who felt this way."
"Yeah, even in previous years it wasn't this hot. It's really weird."
"Hey... I'm asking you guys... do you ever feel this way?"
"So...did you see your own mother...wife, and daughter...did you pay special attention to where their necks were throbbing?"
"Or perhaps, you smell a peculiar fragrance about them?"
They looked at each other in the moonlight, bewildered.
Because almost all the people who come to the village entrance to fetch water are men from their families.
So when someone mentioned this strange anomaly, almost all the men present focused their attention on the speaker.
The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.
The trees at the village entrance swayed and rustled in the wind.
However, in the silent night, a low growl suddenly came from somewhere.
Some people suddenly turn into beasts in the silence.
It roared and pounced on the crowd.
It was the person who had just been standing by the well drinking water.
He took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and pounced on the person next to him, opening his mouth to bite.
However, the bitter taste made his face change instantly, and he turned around and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
The others who hadn't drunk any water were terrified when they saw this.
"Monster...a monster!"
Everyone screamed and scattered, but four or five people in the crowd had just drunk water.
Now they've all been the first to spread the virus.
He went berserk and out of control, baring his teeth and claws as he charged into the crowd.
Upon seeing this, Duan Rongshi and Li Qingluo quickly waved for Zhuiyu and the others to tie up these people first.
But it was too late.
Disturbances and commotion could be heard throughout the village.
Some villagers have already drunk tonight's well water...
Everyone rushed into the village together.
Every household is in complete chaos.
Everyone rushed out of their homes, shouting, "Chaos! Chaos! They're biting people! They're biting people!!"
"Waaaaah, help! Help me—"
"Why have they all gone crazy?! What's wrong with them?"
"mother--"
"father--"
Terrified screams could be heard everywhere.
Duan Rongshi: "Everyone, tie up all the people who have gone mad. Lock all the people who haven't gone mad in the house!"
"Everyone should be careful and try not to harm any villagers."
All the guards from the Night Slayer Sect and the Prince Su's Mansion replied, "Yes!"
One after another, black shadows rushed into the village.
Fortunately, there have been quite a few people guarding outside Wanjiacun these past two days.
The guards of Prince Su's mansion arrested the man who had gone mad.
The assassins from the Night Killer Sect locked all those who hadn't yet shown signs of illness in their courtyards.
Although it was a bit chaotic, everything became orderly once everyone went their separate ways.
Since Li Qingluo and the others couldn't stand directly on the road, they went to the hillside behind Wanjia Village and looked down.
"how so?"
"Isn't it supposed to take another day for the poison to take effect?"
"Could it be a problem with the antidote?"
Li Qingluo looked at A Jin with a pale face, and everyone's eyes turned to her.
Ah Jin remained silent for a moment before asking, "Do you know how I made this antidote?"
Li Qinglu shook her head.
"Its main ingredient is the flesh and blood of that butterfly girl."
Li Qingluo's eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help but step forward to stop A Jin: "What did you do to her?"
"I want you to save her life! Not—"
Dong Siyuan quickly stepped between the two, reaching out to stop them: "Princess, please calm down. Butterfly Girl is not in any danger."
“We only took a small piece of flesh from her leg, and we have already bandaged and treated her wound.”
Duan Rongshi also reached out and pulled Li Qingluo back.
"Don't rush, let's hear what they have to say first."
Li Qingluo took a deep breath: "I apologize, my attitude was not good just now, please don't take offense, senior."
Ah Jin naturally didn't blame her.
On the contrary, people felt that she was kind and loyal.
Keeping such a monster as a pet is quite a feat.
"It's alright."
"However, it seems that my deduction was wrong, so the medicinal ingredient was also added incorrectly."
"Not only have we failed to detoxify these villagers, but we've also catalyzed the premature onset of their hemophagocytic syndrome."
Li Qingluo looked at the mosquitoes crawling on the ground in the dark, her face extremely ugly: "Is it because of what I just said, that since I was poisoned, those mosquitoes have not been able to get close to me?"
Ah Jin: "Yes."
"The poison on the butterfly is dozens of times more potent than yours. You could say she is the king of all poisons."
"In our Miao region, she is a priceless treasure."
“Her hair, teeth, and even skin can be used for our witchcraft.”
"But the strange thing is, I didn't find any Gu poison on her..."
“Dong Siyuan previously said that when Butterfly fell ill, it felt like there were millions of Gu worms gnawing at her body, but I did not detect any Gu poison in her.”
"unless……"
Li Qingluo: "Unless what?"
Ah Jin looked at her, her expression cold and serious: "Unless she herself is that mother Gu."
"That's why she devoured and coexisted with all the Gu worms, making it impossible for me to detect them."
Li Qing fell heavily backward.
She now has some understanding of the Gu poison of Miao territory and knows what the Mother-Child Gu is.
Having personally killed that blood worm last time, I know even more how evil it is.
If the butterfly is the mother curse...
Li Qingluo's heart instantly felt heavy.
Ah Jin: "So, I originally thought that the poison you were given was just made from her poisoned blood or other parts of her body."
"But now it seems that I was wrong."
"No, I have to go back to Qingsong Temple again!"
With that, she immediately turned and left.
Li Qingluo: "I'm with you!"
If she wanted to leave, Duan Rongshi naturally wouldn't stay.
"Take control of Wanjiacun and guard it strictly to prevent any strangers from entering!"
"Anyone who disobeys will be killed without exception!"
Zhuiyu: "Yes."
"However... could these people suffering from the poison possibly need...?"
Duan Rongshi thought that they were all innocent ordinary people, and that the Miao woman was very likely to develop a new antidote.
After a moment's hesitation, he gave the order: "Go and capture two death row inmates and feed each of them two bites."
Wanjiacun was completely brought under control that very night.
A sinister atmosphere hung over the entire village; it was uncertain whether the sun would rise again in this poor village tomorrow…
Qingsong Temple.
As soon as Ah Jin returned, she went straight to Butterfly's room.
Li Qingluo followed behind her.
The butterfly just woke up and saw Dong Siyuan coming in with her. She immediately went berserk and tried to pounce on him.
Fortunately, Ying'er and the others immediately held her down, while Dong Siyuan quickly retreated.
The butterfly's scent gradually calmed down.
She saw Li Qingluo and slowly smiled.
Li Qingluo walked over quickly: "You recognize me?"
Last time, when Butterfly woke up, she went mad as if she had seen an enemy when she saw Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo knew it was probably because of the smell of poison on her body, so she was only a little disappointed.
Butterfly: "Luo...Luo'er?"
Li Qingluo was pleasantly surprised: "You can still call me by my name? Butterfly, that's wonderful!"
Li Qing sat down on the edge of the bed and hugged Butterfly tightly, while Ying'er and the others were so nervous that they didn't dare to leave her side.
A-Jin: "Time is short, Princess Yaoguang, please step aside so I can confirm one thing."
With red eyes, Li Qingluo comforted Butterfly: "Don't be afraid, I'll stay here and not leave."
The butterfly nervously stared at the unfamiliar Ah Jin.
A-Jin: "My name is Jin-Hua."
"I heard you're Zaina's daughter?"
Do you still remember your mother?
The butterfly shook its head: "Mother?"
She didn't understand what a mother was, but she looked at Li Qingluo and pointed at her.
Li Qingluo: "I am not your mother. On the contrary, I should call you aunt."
Butterfly: "Aunt...Aunt?"
Her language seemed to have become fluent in an instant; she could even imitate a few words of what Li Qingluo said.
Moreover, she seemed to be able to understand some of what they were saying.
Ying'er: "Butterfly Girl, that's Auntie. You are our girl's elder."
The butterfly seemed somewhat dazed and thoughtful.
Taking advantage of the moment, Ah Jin took out a Gu worm and, when Butterfly wasn't paying attention, slashed her wrist.
As blood gushed out, I quickly released a bright red worm and placed it on the wound on Butterfly's wrist.
The blood-red worm instantly burrowed into the butterfly's flesh through its wound.
Then, in the blink of an eye, to everyone's astonishment, it traveled forward from under the skin.
Alan brought in a bowl of bright red herbal soup.
"Master, here is what you requested."
Jin Hua looked at Li Qingluo: "Please, Princess Yaoguang, put a drop of blood into this bowl."
Li Qingluo, without suspecting anything, immediately pricked her finger and dripped blood into the medicine.
The butterfly was still struggling when the bowl of medicine was already placed in front of her.
She seemed very frightened when she saw the bowl of medicine, and kept shrinking back.
"No……"
Jin Hua: "Please hold her down!"
Ying'er and the others had no choice but to steel themselves and pounce on Butterfly, pinning her firmly to the bed.
The butterfly cried out in anguish, "Luo'er... Luo, Luo'er—"
"Gurgle—"
"Cough, cough—"
After a bowl of herbal soup was poured down his throat, less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the blood-red worm crawled out of the butterfly's mouth.
