Qiqi and Sheng Fan stared wide-eyed as Qiqi ran to the unconscious, agonizing man's side.
The little guy is quite principled.
What if I like it even more?!
Noticing that Sheng Fan's eyes were shining when he looked at his younger sister, Ji Jingchi stepped forward and blocked his gaze.
"Grandpa Sheng, I advise you to put away your little schemes." Ji Jingchi pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses flashing with a cold light. "My little sister has quite a few skills; I'm afraid you won't be able to handle her!"
Sheng Fan: ...
That traitor!
Over there, Qiqi squatted down in front of the middle-aged man, took out a talisman from her bag, and slapped it on the man's chest.
Then, out of nowhere, she produced a small knife, grabbed the man's wrist, and swiftly stabbed him.
That decisive action made Sheng Fan's brow twitch.
This little guy looks so soft and cuddly, but when he gets going, he's surprisingly ruthless, unlike most children.
"Qiqi, what are you doing?" Ji Jingchi squatted down, looking at him with a face full of curiosity.
Every time he visits his sister for treatment, it opens up a door to the unknown for him.
With nimble wrist movements, Qiqi slapped another talisman onto his wrist, "Lure out the Gu worms, otherwise his internal organs will be eaten up."
Qiqi carefully channeled spiritual energy into the talisman. Compared to flesh and blood, spiritual energy was clearly more attractive to the Gu worms.
Everyone could clearly see that something was crawling on the wound on the wrist of the unconscious middle-aged man under his skin.
Sheng Fan couldn't help but squat down, his eyes fixed on the wound, waiting for what was about to crawl out.
Gu worms!
Those are Gu worms!
He had never seen anything so mysterious and enigmatic in his entire life.
Soon, a colorful little worm crawled onto the man's wound.
The insect had two antennae on its head, tentatively extending them out of the wound, as if sensing whether there was any danger outside.
Upon seeing the insect, Sheng Fan screamed with excitement.
Before he could even make a sound, Qiqi quickly slapped a talisman on his body and glared at him with wide eyes, gesturing for him to be quiet.
At such an advanced age, how can you be so unreliable!
This bug is very timid. What if it gets scared and won't come out?
Sheng Fan's eyes widened even more as he looked down in shock at the yellow talisman pasted on his chest.
It's just a thin piece of paper, so light that he could blow it away in one breath. I didn't see any glue on it, so how could it stick so firmly?
Moreover, he was speechless after seeing just this one piece of paper.
The kind that can't make a sound at all.
This thing... is amazing!
Therefore, there are truly many things in this world that he doesn't know, doesn't understand, and has never encountered.
Sheng Fan felt like he had wasted most of his life!
Qiqi continued to infuse spiritual power into the talisman, trying to lure the cautious little guy.
Soon, unable to resist the temptation, the Gu worm poked its head out of the wound and began to absorb the spiritual power that Qi Qi had injected.
"Got you!" Qiqi stretched out her chubby little hand, pinched the insect's head with two fingers, and pulled it out with all her might, like a tug-of-war.
When the little bug was in Qiqi's hands, it seemed to sense a threat and kept wriggling its body.
Ji Jingchi was worried that the insect would hurt Qi Qi, so he subconsciously reached out to catch it.
Qiqi turned away from his hand. "Second brother, don't touch it. This thing bites, don't hurt yourself!"
"It's going to bite?" Ji Jingchi's expression changed, and Huo Yusen quickly stepped forward as well. "Then why don't you just throw it away! Or just stomp on it and kill it! Huo Fei!"
Huo Fei stepped forward to make a move, but Qi Qi held her hands up as if they were treasures, saying, "No, you can't crush it, it's a treasure!"
"Baby?" Ji Jingchi didn't understand and was greatly shocked.
Qiqi nodded, "Yes, this is a Heart-Eating Gu, which is very difficult to raise. Although it can harm people, it can also save them."
This Heart-Eating Gu comes in two types: mother and child. The mother Gu can control the child Gu.
If properly controlled, the venomous worm can devour the internal organs of a person and also absorb pathogenic energy from the body.
Even cancer cells can be absorbed. (This is purely fictional; please don't take it seriously!)
“But didn’t you say this is just a child Gu? Without the mother Gu, the child Gu is useless, right?” Huo Yusen asked.
Qiqi hummed in agreement, grinning with bright eyes, "The offspring gu can sense the location of the mother gu. With it, I can find the location of the mother gu!"
I see!
No wonder Qiqi couldn't bear to stomp on that bug.
"Hmm..." A faint sound drew everyone's attention.
The middle-aged man who had been unconscious earlier has woken up.
He looked somewhat bewildered at the people surrounding him: an old man with gray hair and several children.
"What...what's wrong with me?" The man sat up, clutching his chest, feeling a throbbing pain in his heart.
Qiqi glanced at him. "Uncle, you'd better go to the hospital for a checkup. You've been poisoned by a Gu worm, and it bit through your heart and ate a big chunk of your flesh. Even though I helped you draw the Gu worm out, you still need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, or you'll be kicking your own bootstraps!"
The man was startled; listening to the little girl speak felt like listening to a fairy tale.
What kind of Gu worm? What bit off the heart?
He felt that his heart was a little sore, which was probably related to working too much overtime in the past few days and not getting enough rest. It was nothing as serious as she described.
Seeing the man's stubborn look, Qiqi smacked her lips, looked at his face, and shook her head.
Kind words are useless against a damned ghost; she could save him once, but not every time.
If he doesn't cherish it, he will ultimately not escape death!
"Young man, you'd better listen to this girl and go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible," Sheng Fan said, taking out a business card and handing it to him.
The man stared at the gold-embossed business card in front of him, paused for a moment, took it with trembling hands, glanced at it, and then jumped up from the ground.
"Master Sheng?!" In Jiangcheng's social circles, anyone with a bit of status knows the name of the renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor Sheng Fan. "Did you save me? Thank you, thank you so much, thank you so much."
He never expected to have the honor of meeting him in person today, not to mention that Elder Sheng was so concerned about his health.
If this gets out, his status in the industry will definitely rise significantly in the future.
Sheng Fan saw through his plan at a glance, and his smile faded slightly. "I wasn't the one who saved you. You should thank this little girl!"
Sheng Fan pointed at Qi Qi.
The man was taken aback. This little girl?
What ability could such a tiny little thing possibly have to save him?
However, in front of Elder Sheng, he couldn't say much, and simply thanked him curtly, "Thank you, young lady."
Although Qiqi is young, she can tell that he is not sincere.
She pursed her lips, "Forget it, I don't need sincere thanks." She gave him a deep look, then tossed out, "Uncle, you'd better watch yourself!"
