Chapter 139 Live Insects
Xie Chengyan didn't expect Ye Lanzhou to intervene in this matter, and was suddenly a little surprised.
The people downstairs raised their heads one after another. After staring at Ye Lanzhou for a while, Chu Xiu showed a slightly surprised expression. He seemed to have seen this girl before.
Pei Ruxin didn't know her identity, but he still subconsciously lowered his head to take a look. He saw that the insect that had been motionless in the jar suddenly came alive, as if it was full of energy, twisting its body and trying to crawl out. The strangest thing was that the insect's eyes were scarlet.
"ah--"
Pei Ruxin screamed and threw the jar in his hand away. The jar broke into pieces and the insects inside crawled out. They seemed to be excited by the smell of human breath and crawled straight towards the crowd, causing a commotion on Suzaku Street.
Pei Song stared at the bug, laughed, and said, "It can move... hehe..."
Pei Ruxin was frightened, but then she thought, her brother had been stupid for many years, how could he know witchcraft? This was obviously a trap set by someone. If this bug hurt someone, Pei Song's guilt would almost be confirmed.
But who would set up such a scheme? Why put the blame on the Pei family? Her brother just wanted to get married, so why did he have to deal with all this trouble?
The insect landed on the ground and ate the snake skin that had also fallen to the ground nearby. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the insect seemed to have grown a little bigger. Could a normal insect grow this big? Could this really be a witchcraft?
The bug gathered strength and crawled towards one of the children who were watching, leaving a trail of slime in its wake, which looked extremely disgusting.
Ye Lanzhou didn't know when she had gone downstairs. Seeing the insect crawling towards the crowd, she drew out the long sword worn by Chu Xiu at his waist, stretched out her hand and swung it hard. The insect was cut in half. It first curled up into two balls in pain, then stretched its body, as if it was split into two individuals, crawling in two directions.
Chu Xiu was also shocked by this scene. He knew that these things were just a cover for Ah Zan, and that they were essentially ordinary insects. He had never expected them to be so strange. He had no other explanation for such a disgusting phenomenon except for witchcraft.
After Ye Lanzhou returned the sword to Chu Xiu, he found two jars from somewhere, one on each side, and used them to hold the two sections of the insect.
Then he said calmly: "If this isn't witchcraft, what else could it be?"
Pei Ruxin was speechless with fear, the image of the two twisted insects still lingering in her mind. Chu Xiu, still reeling from Ye Lanzhou's removal of his sword, tilted his head to look at the woman.
When his gaze lingered on her, Ye Lanzhou suddenly turned his head, glanced at Pei Ruxin, and then raised his head to look at the two guards beside him.
Seeing this, Chu Xiu nodded to Ye Lanzhou as a token of his gratitude. He then quickly signaled two of his men to carry Pei Song away. He bowed to Pei Ruxin and said, "Goodbye, Miss Pei San. I'll visit you again another day."
After saying that, he turned and left. Before leaving, he noticed Xie Chengyan who was standing not far behind Ye Lanzhou. He was actually not far away from the crowd, but because there was an eaves above his head, he was blocked from view, so no one noticed him.
The two looked at each other, and Chu Xiu hesitated and was about to speak, but Xie Chengyan raised his hand to stop him.
He said nothing more and left with his guards.
