Even the old lady who adopted Xiao Atong said:
“Miao’er, the Holy Maiden and the Spirit Maiden also told us about this the night before last! But there are many kinds of witchcraft, including medical witchcraft and poison witchcraft.”
“We old witches have discussed this, and as long as it’s Miao’er’s request, Xiangxi will never hide anything from you regarding the art of healing and poison.”
"As for poisons and Gu, Miao'er, don't touch these things!"
“We old witches would rather bear all the stigma ourselves than let non-Miao people spread rumors about our future Miao king.”
The old women all shared the same thought: they could only help the future Miao King succeed, and they absolutely could not use poison to become a burden to him or bring him shame.
Ah Chen was quite moved by this, because the Miao people's medical gu treatments were never used on Han people unless there were special circumstances.
Things are different now than they used to be.
Ah Chen is the future Miao King. Although Gu magic is not under his jurisdiction, he can still give orders to the Gu witches in Xiangxi in the name of the future Miao King.
But he didn't do that; instead, he discussed it with the old women.
After all, he wanted to combine the art of Gu poison with modern medicine and then use the data provided in the Jiuyou Space a few days ago to conduct research.
We hope to explore a broader path in medicine.
The backbone of this path lies with the Gu healers of the Miao people.
Amo and Aling also said that the profound mystery of the Gu healing technique is not as simple as ordinary grass ghosts know, and they need to study it together with the old women.
Don't underestimate these old witches just because they're uneducated; their witchcraft is unmatched in the world today.
Now that all the grandmothers have agreed, it's time for Amo and Aling to tell them.
During that deep conversation that night, Amo, Ayun, and Aling were right. Achen clearly possessed some unknown trump cards, so why didn't he use them?
When Ah Chen proposed combining medical gu with modern medicine, Ah Mo and Ah Yun were even more amazed after seeing the information he was given.
Even though they don't understand modern medicine, they are all top-tier grass ghosts skilled in Gu magic.
And so, time flew by during our chat.
The things Amo and Aling were talking about with the old women involved were not something Achen could understand very well, since he was completely clueless about Gu magic.
So he simply left the main room and went to the lakeside in the outer courtyard to ponder.
now--
It's already dark!
The Miao people who had been busy working away from home gradually returned home.
But the entire village was pitch black. In 1997, this Miao village, which spanned three provinces, still had no electricity.
The Miao village by the lake is picturesque during the day, but at night, all you can see is the dim light of kerosene lamps.
At this moment, besides thinking about where to place the Miao Medicine Research Institute, Ah Chen also had to think about electricity.
Now, regardless of when the hydropower station issue will be resolved, building a hydropower station is not something that can be done overnight!
In the border village, electricity needs to be connected to the Miao people in advance.
Just as Achen was thinking about these things, the chief of the border village arrived with the core group of Miao people in the village.
The uncles and brothers were carrying food, as were the aunties and sisters.
It seems to have been prepared and served from another restaurant.
"Ah Chen, I've been waiting for you so long!"
The chief of Bianzhai Village, in his fifties, surnamed Long, is the chief of the Bai Miao branch among the six major branches.
As soon as Chief Long arrived, he instructed the Miao people to set up a small bonfire in the courtyard.
Ah Chen leaned over for a look, and although there were only seven or eight dishes, they were all top-quality.
Aside from wild game, the aroma of chicken and duck is fantastic, as are cured meats and sausages.
Ah Chen couldn't resist grabbing a piece of meat and bone with his hands and gnawing on it. When his uncle and brothers saw this, they all laughed.
"Ah Chen, sit down, sit down, don't stand—"
An uncle immediately brought over a stool for Ah Chen, and the aunties and girls busied themselves with it.
It was at this moment, when the campfire was lit, that Achen saw that Qin Feng and Vice President Chai had also arrived, along with the two clan elders.
"Hey, what's gotten into you all today?" Ah Chen asked after sitting down.
"And there's us, Ah Chen! Over here, over here, can you see us?--"
Tang Abao and Gu Axiong, along with Lei, Ting, Kuang, and Jun from the Xiangxi Jackals, walked in carrying several wooden buckets.
"Weren't you guys scouting the Miao village in the clouds? Why are you all here?"
Although Achen did not develop the Yunduan Miao Village, the highest point in western Hunan, he did send jackals to scout ahead of time.
After all, that area is a key project in western Hunan.
Ah Ting walked over and said, "It's been raining these past few days, so we can't go that way. The road is too steep. We have to wait until the weather gets a little better before we can go. We came over to report this to you."
Ah Chen nodded in sudden realization, then said, "Then why did you... come at the very moment when we're eating good food? Chief Long, chase these wolves out."
"Ah Chen, you--"
"Hahaha--"
Ah Ting and his gang of wolves looked dejected, while the Miao men from the border village burst into laughter.
Although Chief Long was in his fifties, he was quite robust. Judging from his appearance, he was eager to fight and seemed genuinely interested in driving the jackals out of the border village.
"Ah Chen, that's not fair!"
"Exactly, we were even thinking of saving the best for you."
A Lei and A Kuang poured the cooked wild game from the wooden bucket into the iron pot, and A Chen smelled it delicious.
Wild game from deep in the mountains is probably only available now.
In a few more years, even if they exist, they will be harder to find.
"Virtue--"
