Chapter 41 Golden Silkworm Gu
They fell to the ground, their faces pale. At the time of the incident, they were each holding a cup of this brand of milk tea.
Seeing this, Chen Kejing turned pale with fright and quickly threw the milk tea into the trash can. This milk tea really did have a problem.
When Yu Xiaolu chased after him, the shadow had already disappeared from sight.
She frowned and had no choice but to return.
Seeing so many people in the mall had been injured, the mall was in complete chaos. Many people thought it was some kind of plague, and apart from those who had come with the victims, everyone was fleeing in all directions.
In an instant, the mall became much calmer.
Yu Xiaoluo approached one of the poisoned individuals, a young girl. She carefully examined the girl's condition and checked her pulse.
Chen Kejing and Yu Liang also came over and asked, "Has she been poisoned?"
"Yes, he's been poisoned by a Gu. Take a close look at his vomit."
They dared not look, but their curiosity got the better of them, and they peered at the pile of vomit. In the dark red blood, there were fruit and coconut pieces from the milk tea, liquid, and several tiny worms wriggling inside.
It would have been better if they hadn't looked. After seeing it, Chen Kejing and Yu Liang turned pale and felt nauseous.
"Although they vomited out a few, there were still some in their stomachs. This is the Golden Silkworm Gu, which is very dangerous. It is made by burying 12 kinds of poisonous insects at a crossroads for 49 days. After being poisoned, one will experience chest and abdominal pain, swelling like a jar, and bleeding from all seven orifices. If the poison is not detoxified in time, one will die within seven days."
Yu Xiaoluo called Nanshan, and someone had already called for an ambulance.
Soon after, ambulances and police arrived. Yu Xiaoluo explained the situation to him, and Nanshan looked at the poisoned people; there were more than a dozen.
The milk tea shop was shut down, and the owner, unaware of what had happened, rushed over as quickly as possible.
"Luo Luo, what should we do about this poison? Would going to the hospital help?"
"This kind of Gu poison is quite troublesome to cure, so let's arrange for everyone to be in the same place for now."
Since there was no way to send so many people to the hospital at the same time, the poisoned people from upstairs and other places were gathered together and arranged to be treated in one place.
Yu Liang put down what he was holding and helped lift the patient.
After putting the injured together, Yu Xiaoluo said, "One way to cure this kind of Gu is for the Gu caster to do it himself, but it's hard to say whether we can find him. Another way is to use a hedgehog to cure it, as the Golden Silkworm Gu is most afraid of hedgehogs. Do you have any way to find a hedgehog?"
Nanshan thought for a moment, then said, "I'll send someone to look for it right away."
At this moment, the dozen or so poisoned people were in unbearable pain, clutching their stomachs, their foreheads covered in sweat, and constantly writhing in agony.
Yu Xiaolu instructed, "Fill a bucket of water immediately, spring water or mineral water will do."
Soon, someone brought over a bucket of mineral water. Yu Xiaoluo took out a talisman, which spontaneously combusted in the air without fire, and the ashes fell into the water.
"Give them this water; it will temporarily alleviate their pain. Once the hedgehog is found, burn it to ashes and bring it over."
Nanshan nodded. Having worked with Yu Xiaoluo so many times, he would follow her orders without hesitation.
However, family members and bystanders questioned, "Is this even safe to drink? They're already poisoned; what if drinking this junk makes their condition worse?"
"By the way, why didn't you take him to the hospital?"
"Are even the police officers acting recklessly now?"
“Yes, what if they get sick from drinking it?” Everyone started arguing, refusing to let the patients drink it, and criticizing them.
At this moment, a girl in the crowd recognized Yu Xiaoluo. "Uh, I know this young lady. She's Yu Xiaoluo who rescued Ghost Valley. My goodness, I didn't expect her to be so beautiful in person."
"Ghost Valley? The Yu family's newly returned daughter?"
"Yes, yes, very powerful. It is said that he is the most powerful disciple of the Abbot of Xuyue Temple. He studied there for eighteen years and has now returned to his family."
"Oh, I see. So you really are capable?"
"Of course! She's helped thousands of wronged souls find peace. How could she not be amazing? She's the most famous young lady in Kham right now, don't you all know her?"
Chen Kejing stood up. "She is my daughter. I guarantee with the reputation of our Yu Family Group that my Luoluo has not only never harmed anyone, but has also saved many people. If any problems arise, our Yu Family Group will guarantee it."
“I’ve watched her videos, and she is indeed very capable. I believe in her and I also believe in the Yu Family Group. I let my friend drink it.”
The girl who had just spoken gave the talisman water to her friend. After drinking the talisman water, the friend's symptoms were relieved a lot. She stopped crying out in pain, and her complexion was not so bad.
Seeing that the medicine was effective, everyone stopped questioning it and drank it one by one. Finally, they stopped complaining of pain.
The situation here has eased a bit, so it's not so tense anymore.
Yu Xiaoluo said to Yu Liang and Chen Kejing, "Mother, Third Brother, I'm still needed here for a while. Third Brother, please take Mother back first and bring your things home, then come back to help me later."
"Okay." Chen Kejing felt that she couldn't be of much help here, and besides, there were many things to prepare for her daughter's homecoming banquet, so she didn't insist and left with Yu Liang.
Over there, the milk tea shop owner was about to be besieged by the poisoned person's family. He couldn't defend himself no matter what he said, everyone believed that his products were unclean.
Nanshan then stepped in to defuse the situation, saying, "Everyone, don't panic. We will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you the truth. We just reviewed the surveillance footage, and it turns out that someone sneaked in while the staff were busy and put the poisonous insects into the milk tea that hadn't been sealed yet, causing everyone to be poisoned."
The poisoner was wearing a hat and mask, and dressed in all black, making it difficult to see their face, which made the investigation quite challenging.
"So, this isn't a hygiene issue, it's a poisoning issue. The boss would never harm his own customers, you can rest assured about that."
After he explained it that way, everyone quieted down.
The milk tea shop owner approached Nanshan and said a few words to him, "Thank you, Captain Nan. I really didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to poison the shop. It's also because of our lax management."
"Yes, we'll look into it. By the way, have you offended anyone recently?"
"It seems not—let me think about it carefully—" The milk tea shop owner fell into a state of recollection.
After a short while, his eyes suddenly lit up. "I remembered something. A few days ago, I heard from the shop assistant that the manager of a milk tea shop upstairs came to our shop and caused trouble, saying that our free ice cream promotion was disrupting market rules, and that if we didn't stop immediately, we would have to bear the consequences."
So, do you still have this event?
