As soon as he finished speaking, another mouthful of blood flowed out of his mouth.
Gu Mingtai walked up to him slowly with a sullen face. "I never thought you would use your own blood to feed those vines. For the sake of revenge, you don't even care about your own life."
"As long as I can kill you, I don't care even if it means taking my own life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Junyou ignored the wound on his body, took a knife and cut his wrist, muttering, "Come out, come out and eat."
"Hua" "Hua" the sound of vines trying to come out from underground came again.
Zhang Meng was so frightened that she quickly called out to Gu Mingtai, "Gu Mingtai."
Gu Mingtai's face darkened. He took a step forward and hit Nie Junyou hard on the back of his neck.
The frantic Nie Junyou collapsed, and the rustling sound in the ground finally stopped.
Hearing the thatched hut finally quiet down, Zhang Meng glanced at Nie Junyou lying on the ground and kicked him a few times.
"What was going on with those vines just now? They seemed to be following Nie Junyou's instructions, right?"
Gu Mingtai frowned and nodded. "This is an ancient secret technique from the Miao people. It involves planting an ancient tree inside a person's body, and it becomes a part of that person."
At this time, Gu Mingtai suddenly stopped speaking, immediately squatted down, and tore Nie Junyou's clothes with force, exposing his chest.
Zhang Meng took a deep breath and looked at Nie Junyou's body covered with blue blood vessels in shock.
"What is this?" Zhang Meng took a step back in fear.
At this time, Nie Junyou's upper body was almost full of those blue blood vessels, so densely packed that it made people's scalp tingle just by looking at them.
"The tree tendons have grown on his body and will follow him throughout his life. Only when he dies will these tree tendons leave his body and continue to do so until all his blood is drunk." After hearing Gu Mingtai's explanation, Zhang Meng no longer used the word "tingling on his scalp" to describe the feeling on her body.
Zhang Meng looked at Nie Junyou, who looked like a monster, and raised his head to look at Gu Mingtai, "So what should we do with him now?"
In fact, she wanted to get rid of Nie Junyou secretly, but because Nie Junyou was an educated youth who was sent here, if he suddenly disappeared, it would definitely attract attention from above, and it would not be worth it if she didn't get into trouble.
"Don't worry about him. He's been like this all his life. We don't need to deal with him. These tree tendons on his body can kill him. Let's go."
Gu Mingtai threw down his clothes, took Zhang Meng's hand and turned away without any sympathy from the educated youth.
Fortunately, knowing that Nie Junyou was the one who wanted to harm his family, Zhang Meng planned to ask Huang Qingtian to keep an eye on that guy when he was not at home.
After returning to the Zhang family, Zhang Meng said a few words to Gu Mingtai and Grandma Zhang, and then the couple hurried into the house.
As soon as Zhang Meng entered the room, she immediately took off the jade pendant from her neck and asked, "Changsheng, how are you now?"
Just as she finished speaking, a white light rushed out from the jade pendant.
Changsheng's body appeared in the room, but he still looked very weak.
"I'm fine. I rested inside for a while. My injury is almost healed."
Changsheng forced a smile by pulling the corners of his mouth.
Zhang Meng took a step forward, looked at his somewhat transparent body, and blamed herself, "Changsheng, I'm sorry, we hurt you."
Changsheng waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be like this, what is our relationship? We are friends. Aren't friends supposed to help each other selflessly? I believe that if I have any problems, you will definitely help me, right?"
Zhang Meng didn't think much about it and immediately replied, "Of course, if you need my help, I will definitely help."
Changsheng grinned.
Zhang Meng's heart skipped a beat. Why did she feel like she was about to fall into a trap when she saw the smile on Changsheng's face?
Sure enough, as soon as she finished thinking about this possibility, Changsheng continued, "That's right, Xiaomeng, I have something I want to ask you for help with. You will definitely not refuse, right?"
He looked at her with a smile.
Zhang Meng's smile froze, and then she suddenly realized what was happening. She pointed her finger at him and shouted, "So you were setting a trap for me to fall into, Changsheng, you water ghost, you've become evil."
Changsheng pursed his lips and smiled, a little embarrassedly saying, "I have no choice. I'm afraid you won't help me."
Zhang Meng snorted softly, put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Am I that kind of person? As long as my friends are in trouble, I will definitely help them."
Changsheng immediately grinned, "Thank you, Xiaomeng."
Excited, I reached out to hold her hand, but as soon as I touched it, I saw my hand passing through hers, and I felt a little disappointed.
Only then did he remember that he was no longer a human being, but a water ghost.
Gu Mingtai, who was standing aside, had a dark face. Although Changsheng's hand did not touch his wife's hand, he felt uncomfortable when he saw it.
Without saying a word, he quietly pulled Zhang Meng closer to him.
Then he looked at Changsheng like a man of the house and asked, "You just said you needed our help with something. What is it? Tell me now."
Changsheng smiled bitterly and said slowly, "This is what happened. I don't know what happened recently, but I kept thinking about some things from my past life. Especially in the past few days, those memories have become clearer. Do I know where I came from? Also, I didn't commit suicide. I think I was called here by someone, and that person secretly pushed me from behind and pushed me into the river and drowned."
They were clearly talking about his death, but when Zhang Meng looked at Changsheng's face, there was not a trace of anger on his face.
