It was as if someone had dropped a drop of thick ink into the white membrane. Starting from Chef Deng's head, the drop of thick ink slowly dissolved and spread to the entire head, then to Chef Deng's body, spreading faster and faster. (The "membrane" on Chef Deng's body turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
yd_sj;"Is the poisonous insect dead?" Gu Xingnuo asked Yu Xiaoxiao in a low voice.
Yu Xiaoxiao gently touched the black Gu worm's eggs with a scalpel. The eggs, which had shrunk to the size of a sesame seed, burst into a pile of black powder when Yu Xiaoxiao touched them. "Dead," Yu Xiaoxiao retracted the scalpel. The Gu worm was gone, so how could these eggs still be alive?
"How did he become a medicine man?" Gu Xinglang asked.
Yu Xiaoxiao stared at the corpse on the ground for a while, then pasted the torn skin on Deng Laosan's face back onto the man's face and said, "Xiao Gu, big brother, look, there is a wound at the corner of his eye."
Gu Xingnuo squatted down and took a closer look. Although his eyesight was not good enough, he really couldn't see that Deng Laosan had a wound here.
However, Gu Xinglang could see a tiny crack on the left corner of Deng Laosan's eye. "Is this a wound?" Gu Xinglang asked, pointing at the left corner of Chef Deng's eye.
Yu Xiaoxiao peeled off the skin again, and used a scalpel to peel off the blackened eggs. The tip of the knife poked the muscle layer, and Deng Laosan's muscles parted to the sides, revealing a deep hole. "It looks like someone stabbed him," Yu Xiaoxiao said, "The worm entered his body from here. Also, did you notice? He didn't bleed."
Chef Deng died on the ground, his skin peeled off, revealing a layer of black insect egg membrane covering his body, and his head was split in half. His death was so tragic, but not a drop of blood was seen.
Yu Xiaoxiao hollowed out Chef Deng's left eye, and found that there were already hatched nematodes inside, but they were already dead and black. "This is the last place to turn black," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang and Gu Xingnuo, "The worms inside have already hatched, and the adults have stronger vitality than the eggs. (Advertisement)"
"What about the blood on his body?" Gu Xinglang asked.
Yu Xiao: "It should be absorbed by the insect eggs as nutrients."
"There are still people from Mo Wen in the city," Gu Xinglang and Gu Xingnuo whispered, "Mo Wen wants to turn all of you into medicine men."
Chef Deng is in charge of the kitchen in the Gu Mansion. As long as the poisonous worm in this person's body grows up, sheds a little blood in the kitchen, and puts some insect eggs in the food, everyone in the Gu Mansion will soon become poisoned, and no one will be able to escape.
"If Mo Wen's people can poison him, they can also make him get hurt in the kitchen," Gu Xinglang said, "Is he the only medicine man in the mansion?"
Young Master Gu was squatting next to Chef Deng's body, his scalp tingling.
"Don't scare yourself," Yu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose and said, "The bugs haven't grown yet, so they can't hurt anyone."
"Xiong Xiong," Gu Xinglang turned his head and shouted towards the door.
The big boss came running over, took one look at the body on the ground, and gasped.
Gu Xinglang said, "Take the guards to check. Anyone who cuts their arm but can't bleed will be put under custody."
The eldest boss said, "Prince consort, how many people do you want to check?"
Gu Xinglang looked at Gu Xingnuo. It seemed that he was not the one in charge of this mansion.
Gu Xingnuo said: "Check everyone."
"What about the old lady and the eldest young master's wife?" asked the boss. He would have no problem checking the servants, but how would he check the hostesses in the inner house?
Yu Xiao: "It's just a cut to see if there's any blood. It's such a simple thing, but you still want to ask?"
The boss ignored this guy. How could he reason with him based on human nature?
There were about ten horses parked outside the gate. The four people inside looked outside and saw Jing Mo getting off the horse.
Jing Mo looked at the situation in front of the Gu Mansion, asked the chief guard and others to wait outside the door, and he walked into the Gu Mansion alone. When he got close to Yu Xiaoxiao and looked at the corpse on the ground, Jing Mo didn't see the insect, but still asked: "Medicine man?"
Gu Xingnuo nodded.
Jing Mo then asked: "Just him?"
Yu Xiaoxiao said to the boss: "Take someone to check it out."
"Go ahead," Gu Xingnuo said to the boss.
With what Young Master Gu said, the boss knew what was going on. Even the people in the inner house would be killed, and everyone would have to be stabbed and bleed.
After the big boss took the order and left with his men, Jing Mo asked again, "Who is this medicine man?"
"Don't call him a drug man," Yu Xiaoxiao said unhappily, "His name is Deng Laosan, and he has a wife and children."
After hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said, Jing Mo changed his topic and asked, "How did this Deng Lao San become a medicine man?"
Yu Xiao: "What's there to think about? He must have been targeted by Mo Wen's people. If you give him a shot when he's not paying attention, he'll become a drugged man."
Jing Mo said: "In this case, won't everyone in the Gu Mansion be in danger?"
Yu Xiao: "I don't think the people in the Temple of Eternal Life have many bugs in their hands, otherwise why didn't they use them earlier?"
What Yu Xiaoxiao said made sense. If the thugs in the Eternal Life Temple had plenty of poisonous insects to use, then why didn’t these people use them before?
"The Gu worm is very important to Mo Wen," Young Master Gu stood up and whispered, "If others know how to control the Gu worm, why would he still be the abbot of the Eternal Life Temple?"
Jing Mo said: "So what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that there is no need for everyone in our Gu Mansion to be in danger," Gu Xingnuo said, "Your Majesty, you must be careful." Mo Wen wanted him to die, so naturally he would also want Jing Mo to die.
Jing Mo said: "Is there any way to find out who was poisoned?"
"Yes," Yu Xiao said, "People who are hit by the spell will not bleed even if they have wounds on their bodies."
"Then check first," Jing Mo said, "see how many people in your Gu Mansion have been poisoned, and we can roughly estimate the number of poisonous insects."
Yu Xiaoxiao sat on the ground. If Mo Wen didn't die, how could she live a happy life?
"How did you find him?" Jing Mo asked again.
Yu Xiaoxiao held her chin with her hand and thought for a while, then said to Jing Mo: "Xiao Gu and I went shopping, and then we wanted to come back to take a look. Who knew that when we walked to the gate, we met Xiao Gu's two uncles. They were worried that Xiao Gu's mother lived in the Buddhist Courtyard and the house would leak and get wet. I told them that the house in the Buddhist Courtyard didn't leak, and it didn't rain in Fengjing City, but they didn't believe it and scolded Xiao Gu and me, and then we started fighting. Oh, no, it was when we were about to fight that Chef Deng exposed himself."
Jing Mo thought about Yu Xiaoxiao's words for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more painful he felt. Is Gu Xinglang's uncle a fool?
Young Master Gu asked Young Master Gu: "Is your uncle worried that Mother will get caught in the rain in the Buddhist temple? What did they say?"
Gu Xinglang looked at his wife. Was he going to expose the fact that she had little education again? "They are talking nonsense," Gu Xinglang said, "I don't understand what they are saying."
Young Master Gu and Jing Mo..., they are used to listening to the princess speak, so this guy can no longer understand what normal people say?
