"Hey, little brat, the poem you wrote on the wall of Li's house is pretty good. It has quite the style of an old man when he was young!" Hong Xuan said leisurely on the other end of the phone.
"You old fool, you're not discussing anatomy with Widow Wang in Taohua Village, but you're so bored that you've specially called me to praise my literary talent? If nothing else, I'm hanging up now."
Long Yi didn't find it strange at all that the old man knew what was happening on his side. After all, it was too easy for him to find out these things with Hong Xuan's divination skills and intelligence network.
"Are you in such a hurry to hang up the old man just to heal your sister's injury? But she is also a poor girl, alas..." Hong Xuan sighed.
Long Yi was delighted to hear this. Since the old man could calculate his sister's injury, he naturally knew how to save her. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so bored as to call him specially.
"Old man, if you know the cure, tell us now! Don't keep us in suspense!"
"Haha, it's naturally difficult to rely on the power of medicine to directly and violently kill the poisonous insect in your sister's body. One move could affect the entire body. Why not try a different approach and fight poison with poison! The poisonous insect is originally a product of the Miao border area in Dongjun, so naturally we have to use the poisonous insects from the Miao border area to deal with it."
"The Moonlight Gu from Miaojiang counteracts the Poison Gu, but it is the Moonlight Clan's treasure and is extremely valuable. Whether you can find it depends on your luck."
Miaojiang? Moonlight Gu?
After hanging up the phone, Long Yi pondered for a moment and prepared to immediately set off to the nearby Cordyceps trading market to try his luck.
"Yuyan, wait for your brother to come back and save you!" Long Yi looked at Long Yuyan with a firm gaze.
"Well... Yuyan will wait for her brother to come back obediently." Long Yuyan, who had a high fever, murmured in a low voice.
...
Dongjun, Cordyceps trading market.
"Herbs for sale! Freshly picked Lingxian grass, cardamom flowers, sedum, and Shenqu grass, sourced from the depths of Miao territory. Guaranteed to cure any illness! What do you need, sir?"
"Is there anyone selling Moonlight Gu?"
"Moonlight Gu? Never heard of it."
Long Yi then shook his head and left. He had visited countless Cordyceps shops, and all they sold were ordinary Cordyceps, not even the more expensive ones.
Maybe I came to the wrong place?
Long Yi was about to reach the end of the market. If there was no news about Moonlight Gu, he would have to look for another place.
"Put down my Cordyceps, how can you not pay me? I worked so hard to pick it and sell it for medicinal herbs!"
At an inconspicuous stall at the end of the market, two burly men and a weak girl were tearing apart a cloth bag filled with medicinal herbs.
"Bah! Ask the vendors here who doesn't pay me protection money. I'm giving you a few herbs, which is a bargain!"
Then he pushed the girl to the ground with a rough palm and walked away!
Long Yi took a deep breath. This kind of dark thing exists everywhere. He is not a living Buddha. He can't take care of it even if he doesn't want to.
But...this girl was about the same age as his sister, and he felt pity for her.
Then he strode towards the two big men, but before he could make a move, the two men collapsed to the ground.
Coma caused by poisoning? Was it the work of that weak girl?
Long Yi recalled the scene just now. The moment the girl fell to the ground, she raised her arm. It was at that time that the poison was released. He almost made a mistake.
The girl trotted to the two fallen men, picked up her package of medicinal herbs, dusted off the dust, and then looked up at Long Yi.
"They will wake up soon. You just wanted to help me, right? Thank you. You are a good person!"
Long Yi was a little dazed when he received the unexpected Good Guy Card. Although the girl spoke in a cute and fragile voice, it seemed that... she had just learned to speak not long ago, and her language didn't even sound like her native language.
The girl's face is hidden under the veil, but the wide white tulle clothes can't hide her perfect body curves, which gives her an extremely hazy beauty!
"Oh, by the way, my name is Ayiguli, which means moon and flower in our language. Nice to meet you!"
When Long Yi heard the girl's name, his previous guess was confirmed. The girl must be from a minority tribe. "Hello, my name is Long Yi."
"Are you coming to the Cordyceps Market to buy some herbs? If I happen to have some, I can give them to you." Aiguli's tone was very cheerful, and her words were full of the liveliness and playfulness of a young girl.
"I'm not buying Cordyceps, I'm buying Gu." There was a coldness in Long Yi's words. His sister was still bedridden and he really didn't have the heart to talk to the strange girl at the moment.
After hearing Long Yi's answer, Ayiguli froze and asked cautiously, "Buying Gu? Are you going to use it to harm people?"
The girl's continuous posts made Long Yi a little upset, "I'm not trying to harm anyone, I'm trying to save my sister's life!"
After saying that, Long Yi turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, um...if you plan to use Gu to save people, maybe I can help." Aiguli stretched out her white hand from her wide sleeves and gently tugged at the corner of Long Yi's clothes.
"You mean you can use Gu to save people? Do you have Moonlight Gu?" Long Yi was delighted when he heard the girl's answer.
Ayiguli was stunned when she heard the word "Moonlight Gu". After a moment's hesitation, she said, "I'm sorry, but Moonlight Gu is the sacred Gu of our Moonlight Gu Clan. It cannot be loaned out without the consent of the Clan Leader."
"What's more, my father has been in a coma for a long time. The Cordyceps from the mountain is useless for his illness. I just picked some fresh herbs yesterday to sell for money to hire a doctor."
After Aiguli talked about the patriarch's illness, her expression under the white veil became even gloomier.
Long Yi looked at the depressed girl and couldn't help asking, "Is that clan leader your father? Perhaps we can make a deal."
"What's the deal?"
"I heal your father, and you lend me the Moonlight Gu to save others."
After hearing Long Yi's words, Aiguli was excited. "You mean you have medical skills?" Then she asked suspiciously, "But why don't you use your medical skills to save people? Why do you need Moonlight Gu?"
"How can they be the same? My sister was poisoned by a Gu. No matter how good the medical skills are, it will be useless!" Long Yi was speechless at the curious baby-like Aiguli in front of him. How could one person have so many questions?
"Okay then! Deal! I'll go clean it up."
Aiguli trotted all the way to her stall and clumsily folded up the cloth. Her clumsiness under her loose clothes was a little cute. Before leaving, she even remembered to detoxify the two big men.
"Alright! Long Yi, we can set off now."
Long Yi looked at the direction Ayiguli was heading and couldn't help but remind her, "Don't want to take a taxi? The market exit is in the opposite direction of you."
"Yes! But it's not a taxi. You'll know later." Aiguli kept it a secret and continued walking forward.
Long Yi followed her for more than ten minutes, "Just go further and you'll find the entrance to the mountains!"
"Don't worry!" The girl blew a loud whistle.
Suddenly, leaves in the deep jungle moved, birds were startled and fish scattered, as if a huge beast was moving at high speed!
