When Lin Xue woke up again, she found that it was already completely dark.
"Gurgle..."
A wave of intense hunger cramped up her stomach, and she immediately got out of bed, put on her shoes, and left the old lady's bedroom.
"You're awake! Come and eat!"
"You young lady, you've been under the influence of the Blood Slave for so long, yet your body is still in such good condition. It's truly beyond my expectations!"
The table in the main room was already filled with various foods. Although there were many kinds, most of them were light in flavor.
There was fragrant vegetable porridge, stir-fried bok choy with garlic, boiled chicken breast, tea eggs, fragrant steamed buns, and fish head soup with a slightly strange taste.
"You've just had the Gu removed, so you're a bit weak. It's not advisable for you to eat anything too greasy right now!"
"These foods are all specially prepared for you. Eat as much as you can, and get a good night's sleep after you finish eating."
"I'll take you somewhere tomorrow. You were able to be cured of the curse this time thanks to an old friend of mine. I need to let you know who you should be thanking!"
The old lady sat on the other side of the table, but showed no intention of touching her chopsticks. She simply kept her eyes on Lin Xue while slowly sipping her hot tea.
"Grandma, aren't you going to eat?"
Lin Xue looked up in confusion, wondering why the old lady wouldn't eat these things.
"I've added all these highly nutritious ingredients to these dishes, but this old woman can't handle so much nourishment! I already ate dinner tonight, and these are all for you!"
The old lady put down her teacup, and her gaze towards Lin Xue was no longer as cold as before.
"Oh, then I won't be polite!"
Hearing from the old lady that she had already eaten, Lin Xue picked up her bowl and began to eat.
After the old lady's reminder, Lin Xue did indeed smell the medicinal herbs in the food.
The fish soup, in particular, had an even higher concentration of medicinal herbs.
The old lady neither agreed nor disagreed with Lin Xue's words, but simply urged her to eat quickly.
"By the way, Grandma, you said you found me because of a friend. I wonder what kind of friend you are?"
Lin Xue was a little puzzled, as she didn't know anyone in this place.
Aside from Lei Jing and the others, she hasn't made any new friends. So why would someone find this old lady and dissect her bones?
"We're old friends, you'll see when you see me tomorrow!"
The old lady didn't say much about Lin Xue's curiosity.
After finishing her meal, Lin Xue returned to the inn ahead of her. After telling her friends that she had things to do the next day, they all went back to their rooms to sleep.
Although she slept all day, Lin Xue still fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow at night.
The next morning, Lin Xue woke up early because she had gotten enough sleep.
He arrived at the old woman's courtyard, but to his surprise, even though she had gotten up so early, the old woman had already gotten up and was busy making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Grandma, let me help you!"
Lin Xue immediately went into the kitchen and helped the old lady with the cooking, but she was just helping out; the old lady was the one who did most of the cooking.
After finishing her meal, the old lady took a small cloth bag and went out with Lin Xue.
After walking through several streets and alleys, they arrived at another residence in Niutou Town.
Knocking on the gate of the courtyard, a thin, old man opened the door.
Lin Xue did not recognize the old man at first glance.
It wasn't until I saw a chamber pot in the corner of the yard that I remembered it. Wasn't this the old man I met in Shanggang Town who emptied the chamber pot?
Could it be that the other party noticed her abnormality at that time, which is why they came to Niutou Town, found this old woman, and told her about her situation?
As Lin Xue had guessed, the old man was indeed from Laogala Village.
Although the old lady wasn't from Gala Village, she came from a small village that was adjacent to Gala Village.
The people in their village are also skilled in using Gu magic.
However, because of the different villages they live in, the Gu techniques they study are naturally different.
Moreover, they have done some research and exercised restraint towards neighboring villages.
This is also why she was able to remove the Blood Slave Charm from Lin Xue's body.
With the old lady's introduction, Lin Xue solemnly thanked Uncle Deming.
Seeing that Uncle Deming's family wasn't well-off, Lin Xue later went to town to buy some home appliances and had them delivered there.
At this point, Lin Xue also learned that the reason Uncle Deming appeared in Shanggang Town was because someone there had been poisoned by a curse and he had been specially invited to go there to treat the illness.
He also had a small house in Shanggang Town, but because it was just a single room without a toilet, Lin Xue was able to see him emptying the chamber pot.
After leaving Uncle Deming's residence, Grandma took Lin Xue for a stroll around the town.
Lin Xue really admired the old lady's stamina; she had walked so far without showing any signs of fatigue.
"When my older sister was still alive, my sister and I loved to go out and wander around. Unfortunately, after my sister passed away, I was left all alone, so I didn't go out as much anymore!"
Perhaps because she had someone to keep her company, the old lady gradually became more talkative, and Lin Xue also figured out some of the old lady's personality.
The old lady has the kind of personality that can be both a homebody and a fun-loving person.
When I'm alone, I can stay at home for ten days or half a month without going out.
But once someone is with her, she won't miss home even if she's out playing for ten days or half a month.
Lin Xue happened to be very interested in Niutou Town, so she followed the old woman and toured the entire town.
