Chapter 403 Grass Ghost
Xin Xuefu frowned and said, "There is no distinction between the status of women in there, and they are all treated the same. Hongkang is also very indulgent, just like raising pets. He pampers the obedient ones and kills the disobedient ones.
However, there was one woman who was different. She looked different from the other women and she had her own yard.
Even though she sprinkled a lot of powder on her body, she still couldn't cover up the fishy smell.
She is a witch."
Xin Xuefu told Huo Changan what she had found out. The reason she thought Yan Meng was not there was because those women had been complaining these days because King Hongkang was busy catching people and had not taken them out for a long time.
Whoever was caught must be Yan Meng!
The first general under the King of Dingxi is worthy of Hongkang's fanfare.
Huo Changan sighed, Ning'er was right, you really can't underestimate women.
The information Xin Xuefu got was much more useful than those of her subordinates.
"In that case, go look somewhere else and don't waste your time here."
His subordinates said that Yan Meng had already sent a message to withdraw from southern Xinjiang, but his subordinates did not wait for him to arrive at the agreed place, which showed that there must have been a temporary problem.
At this time, Chi Man, who had followed Yan Meng for several years, remembered something.
"Brother Meng had a girl he liked here before. Could it be that he went to see her and then something happened?"
Everyone looked at him.
How rare!
Did Mengge have someone he liked before?
Then everyone looked at Xin Xuefu.
Now everyone knows that the new girl is Meng Ge’s sweetheart.
"Why are you looking at me?" Xin Xuefu's expression remained unchanged as she said calmly, "Where does that girl live? You can go look for her."
"I don't know either. Back then, Mengge lived here for two months. The general's wife urged him to get married, and he said he would take the girl back immediately. But later he went back on his own. When our old lady asked him about it, he denied it and said that there was no girl at all and he was lying to us.
But we know this person definitely exists. In the past, when the old lady asked Mengge to look for a girl, he would go over and take a look, but later he wasn't interested at all. We guess he was probably hurt by a relationship."
After Chi Man finished speaking, he was elbowed by his companion.
What nonsense are you talking about! If you say this in front of Mengge’s sweetheart and the new girl gets angry, Mengge will beat him to death!
"Hey, this... isn't this for the purpose of finding Brother Meng?" Chi Man touched his nose.
Huo Changan didn't know about this, but he thought it was impossible.
Yan Meng is a straightforward person. Now he likes Xin Xuefu and will never go back to her.
And I don't know what's going on with that ex-girlfriend. If he really likes her that much, he won't give up just like that. Just look at how persistent he is with Xin Xuefu now.
"I think..." Huo Changan thought for a moment and said, "Did he go to the Gu woman to ask for Gu?"
Brother Meng really likes those things. He no longer has any on him. He has made the trip to southern Xinjiang with great difficulty, so he must get a few more to bring back, right?
"That's easy. Auntie Nine, who removed the Gu from my father, knows all the Gu women. I'll go ask her for help." Xin Xuefu said immediately.
So they went to find Aunt Jiu.
There are Miao people in southern Xinjiang, who believe in poison. According to ancient records, the grass ghost women have eyes like cinnabar, and their abdomens, arms and backs have red, green, blue and yellow stripes. They all live in deep mountains or remote places far away from people, and live with all kinds of poisonous insects.
But in fact, there are two types of Gu women. One type has a shallow Gu technique and raises Gu in a dish. Apart from the peculiar smell of Gu insects on their bodies, they look no different from ordinary people on the surface.
The second type is the real grass ghost woman, who uses her belly as a dish and raises poisonous insects in her belly. This type of woman will have characteristics in her eyes and body that are different from those of ordinary people.
Although the poisonous insects bred by the real grass witch are very powerful, if you are not careful, you will be attacked by the poisonous insects, so they are almost extinct.
There are only three or four of them in the entire Miao ethnic group.
Aunt Jiu is one of them.
An old woman who was covered in black, wrapped tightly, had a hoarse and unpleasant voice, and was very skinny.
As long as you get a little closer, you can smell a strong fishy smell.
Huo Changan has mysophobia. If it were in the past, he would definitely be disgusted and couldn't understand why such an elegant and aloof new aunt would have such a friend.
But not anymore.
New Aunt’s friends are from all walks of life. Many of her friends are of low status and are inferior people who are hated by the world.
But he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Just like the Miao ethnic group's Gu women, if you look down on them or provoke them, you may never be able to leave southern Xinjiang again.
"Auntie Nine." Huo Changan called out respectfully along with Xin Xuefu.
Aunt Jiu is a loner and hates Han people. It was only after she saw Xin Xuefu that she resisted the urge to drive the group of people away.
Huo Changan didn't even glance back when he greeted her.
She stared at Xin Xuefu and lectured her, "Why don't you stay in Luo Ling? Why have you come to this wild place? Be careful you get caught and used as a Gu vessel! The Grass Ghost Lady loves to find delicate and tender people like you as her apprentices!"
"With Aunt Jiu here, I'm not afraid." Xin Xuefu said softly.
A few days ago, Auntie Nine went to Luo Ling to help Beigong Ting get rid of the poison. During that time, Xin Xuefu was the one who took care of this strange old woman, fearing that the maid would make her unhappy and get poisoned.
Later I heard from her mother that every Gu was very precious and no one would give it to anyone else.
Aunt Jiu couldn't eat random food, so she had to take care of Gu's preferences, so she took great pains to prepare meals according to her requirements.
When Aunt Jiu left, she threatened to take her to southern Xinjiang to be her apprentice.
In fact, the old woman was reluctant to do so.
She was probably thinking of her daughter too.
Aunt Jiu was also a poor person. She was married when she was young and had a daughter. Later, her husband fell seriously ill and medicine could not cure him, so she went to the grass ghost woman in the mountains for help.
The Grass Witch said that if she became her apprentice, she would save her husband.
Aunt Jiu loved her husband deeply and had no choice but to agree.
The grass witch used her treasured snake poison on her husband.
As long as the snake poison stays in her stomach for two years, it will devour all the poison in her body and she will die, and her husband's illness will be completely cured.
It’s just a pity for Aunt Jiu. After becoming the apprentice of the Grass Witch, she can no longer live with her family.
A year later, the husband remarried.
Then, the bride she married suffered repeated miscarriages after she became pregnant.
The husband knew clearly that it was the poison in his body, but he didn't tell his wife for the sake of face.
The new bride heard some nonsense from a witch, saying that her ninth aunt's daughter was very violent and was hindering the reincarnation of her younger siblings.
So she killed her ninth aunt's daughter, smashed her head as the witch had instructed, and buried it under a peach tree.
She didn't know that Auntie Nine had also put a curse on her daughter.
As soon as her daughter died, Auntie Nine knew about it and went looking for her. But when she saw her daughter's miserable appearance, she went crazy.
She killed the bride, cut open her husband's stomach, and forcibly took out the Gu.
Because she forcibly removed the Gu, her master suffered backlash, but her master did not blame her, only felt pity for her.
He also said: "Which grass witch is not a pitiful person!"
How could the daughter of a good family be willing to associate with snakes and insects?
It's just that I see through the human heart in the world, which is more poisonous than poison.
