"The insect you are talking about is dark all over, has many legs, and is smooth. Its body is relatively long and slender."
Yuan Xichen still wanted to confirm whether it was the same kind of insect he had encountered before, otherwise if an unknown insect entered the body, it would still cause panic.
Since it can be found in wolves, it may also be found in other animals, not to mention that they just brought down a large piece of snake meat.
"Master Yuan, you're right, that's exactly what happened. Did you encounter any snakes up there? Why are they so big?"
Yu Qingshu turned around and saw Yuan Xichen's secret guards processing the snake meat.
Such a big snake could easily swallow a person. Fortunately, Qing'er was lucky and had a long life.
"Dad, don't worry! The snake has been killed by Young Master Yuan and the others."
Yu Qingqing also saw the snake meat next to her. Even though it was just a piece of meat, it reminded her of the huge monster just now, and she was still frightened.
"It's okay! It's okay.
Mr. Yuan, thank you so much for helping me find my daughter. I know you are not ordinary people.
But please, if you need me in the future, just let me know, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Yu Qingshu clasped his hands together to express his gratitude to Yuan Xichen.
"Uncle Yu, you're welcome! Miss Qingqing also saved me, so I'm so grateful to her.
I didn't die from the poison. This bug is really quite powerful.
It won't be a big problem after taking medicine."
Yuan Xichen saw that everyone else had come down one after another, and Chen Yi had brought down a large pile of peaches. He looked at Yu Qingshu and answered.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Yuan. But Qing'er, there is one more thing I haven't finished saying."
Yu Qingshu began to stutter and felt that he was really useless.
Because of his own mistakes, he put his family in danger.
"Daddy, what happened? Is it mom and the others..."
Yu Qingqing was surprised. Her father looked like this, he must have encountered something big.
"Qing'er, don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly first."
Seeing that Yu Qingqing was getting anxious, Yu Qingshu decided to finish what he wanted to say in one breath.
"Didn't Brother Chen send three pieces of wolf meat to your mother and the others?
We discovered it quite late at that time, and later we asked someone to report the discovery of the bug.
I originally thought that at most your mother would eat the wolf meat, but in the end, two-thirds of the people in the village actually ate the wolf meat.
Chen Yi felt that the matter was quite serious, so he did not dare to hide it. He went to find the village chief to explain the matter clearly.
After hearing this, the village chief became even more anxious.
He tried his best to find someone to pass on the message, but in the end it was too late.
Everyone had no other choice. There was no other food. They finally had some meat to eat, so how could they give it up easily? So they basically ate it all.
The worst part was that several elderly people in the village had adverse reactions after eating wolf meat. They later died...died."
After Yu Qingshu finished speaking nervously, he felt as if he had just heard the news, with cold sweats running down his back.
"Dad, did someone really die in the village? What did the village chief say?"
When Yu Qingqing heard that someone had died in the village, she knew that this was not a simple matter. She was also shocked by this incident and took a few steps back.
Yuan Xichen saw Yu Qingqing about to fall backwards, so he stretched out his hand but retracted it in time.
"Qing'er, are you okay? I went back after this incident.
The village chief said that our family should pay ten taels of silver to each deceased person, and then we would pay for the village’s medical expenses.
He went to discuss it with those people to see if they agreed.
Originally, the people behind us all agreed. Your mother and I did the math and found that the money we had left was barely enough, so we agreed.
But later on, for some reason, they changed their minds and said they would report it to the authorities and did not want the money."
Yu Qingshu paused for a moment, took the water given by Yu Qingqing and took a sip.
The water tasted extremely sweet when it entered his mouth. Yu Qingshu thought it was the water that Yu Qingqing and the others found on the other side of the cliff, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
"Dad, why did those people eat the wolf meat that was given to mom? Why did they go back on their word?"
Yu Qingqing grasped two key points and asked. She felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Ten taels of silver was not enough for an ordinary family.
It's a huge temptation. I agreed to it, so why would I regret it?
"My father wasn't very clear about this either. The village chief didn't say anything, and later on those people insisted on arresting our family and sending them to the authorities.
The village chief was also trying to mediate, but those people were crying and shouting, refusing to agree.
Later, someone in the crowd shouted that ten taels of silver would be enough as compensation.
But from now on, our family can’t follow the villagers.
They want to drive us out of the village, saying it's all because of you.
That's why so many things happened and people say you are the disaster of the village.
The village chief was in a dilemma. In order to prevent them from reporting to the police, he had no choice but to agree to drive us out of the village.
As for why they wanted to eat wolf meat, it was because they saw that our family had three wolves.
She cried her heart out in front of your mother and sister, and was also very persistent.
In the end, your sisters felt sorry for each other and thought that since they were all from the same village, they should help if they could.
So we called the village chief, and he divided the three wolf meats among them, leaving only a small piece for our family.
Everyone was salivating over the meat after getting their share, and they all roasted it over a fire, but no one had thought there was anything wrong with it.
Yu Qingshu gritted his teeth and said the last two words, his eyes observing Yu Qingqing's expression.
He felt so upset when others said that about his daughter.
His daughter hasn't even reached adulthood yet, but her reputation has been ruined by just a few words from those ungrateful people.
"Daddy, don't be anxious! This has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Mom and the others either.
But the money for the medicine should be paid, after all, it was caused by eating wolf meat.
Come! Try a peach, it’s delicious.”
Yu Qingqing comforted Yu Qingshu in a gentle tone, hoping that he would not blame himself so much.
Then he took one of the peaches that Chen Yi and the others brought down, wiped it briefly, and handed it to Yu Qingshu.
"Daddy, come here! This is for you. These are the peaches we picked up there. They are very sweet and can quench your thirst. Come and try them."
"Is this a peach? How come it's so big? I'd be full after eating one this big. You really picked it from there. There are actually peaches there.
No wonder the water I just drank was so sweet, it must have been found there."
Yu Qingshu blurted out everything that was on his mind.
But when Yu Qingqing heard this, her expression changed a little.
Yu Qingqing's expression also caught the eyes of An Wu and Yuan Xichen.
Especially the Dark Five left him puzzled.
