Chapter 5 Chapter 5 “I can teach you, like a sister teaches you…
The centipede crawled up along the clothes and finally drilled into Yun Si's sleeve.
Jiang Li was stunned, and the branch in his hand fell to the ground.
Yun Si stepped over the man's body and squatted in front of her.
"Are you okay, sister?" He had a smile on his face and his voice was gentle and warm.
Jiang Li looked at the man in front of her again in disbelief, making sure she wasn't hallucinating. The wound on the man's hand was still there; she saw it clearly.
For a moment, she couldn't accept it.
Is this to say that this seemingly kind boy in front of me would release poisonous insects to bite people? No, it's a poisonous insect.
"Sister?" Yun Si saw that she was still in shock and called out again.
Jiang Li came back to his senses and met Yun Si's concerned gaze.
She smiled and leaned back quietly.
In her rush last night, she hadn't had time to find out who this man was. Because of his harmless appearance and young age, she had always considered him to be harmless.
She didn't dare to think whether she would be able to feel it if the centipede bit her.
But she just pretended to know nothing and pretended to be surprised: "Why are you here?"
Yun Si's eyes moved to Jiang Li's ankles, his expression solemn: "Why did you run away when you saw me, sister?"
"Of course..." Jiang Li glanced at the unconscious man on the ground and quickly made up his mind, "He was afraid of being caught."
"No, I'm here and won't let my sister get caught." Yun Si vowed.
He stretched out his hand and touched Jiang Li's calf.
Jiang Li quickly retracted his legs, and the chains rattled.
She stared at Yun Si's cuffs, feeling that the centipede inside would stick its head out and bite her.
Yun Si didn't understand what was going on and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Li shook his head and asked, "How did you get out?"
"Since my sister wouldn't let me out, I had no choice but to go out by myself." There was no blame or resentment in his tone.
Before Jiang Li could figure out how to reply, Yun Si grabbed her ankle and picked up the chain beside her.
Jiang Li squeaked, "It can't be solved."
Yun Si ignored her and took out a key.
With a click, the chain was opened.
"You..." Jiang Li was stunned and was about to speak.
But then he heard Yun Si's unhurried voice: "I stole the key."
Jiang Li hesitated to speak, and once again refreshed his impression of him...
Yun Si lowered his eyes, his fingertips gently fiddling with the iron ring that bound her ankle. With a click, the lock loosened, and his breathing hitched.
The fabric had long since worn through, the cold metal cutting a hideous wound into the skin. Amidst the bloody mess, the pale talus bone was faintly visible.
He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Li, but she looked dazed, as if she didn't feel any pain.
"Okay, it's open." Yun Si whispered, his palm still covering her ankle, not moving away.
"Thank you." Jiang Li frowned slightly, "Now, can you let go?"
His touch made her uncomfortable.
Yun Si's brows knitted even tighter: "You have an injury on your foot."
"I know." She tried to pull her foot back. "Let me go first."
"Close your eyes first." He said seriously, "I'll apply the medicine on you. After that, I'll let go."
"Why do you have to close your eyes when applying the medicine..." Before she finished speaking, Yun Si raised his hand to block her sight.
"He's seriously injured. I'm afraid he'll scare you."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment. It was the first time someone cared about her being frightened...
Darkness enveloped my vision, but my senses became increasingly acute. The pain in my ankle was sharp at first, then gradually turned into a fine itch, like countless ants crawling under my skin.
She couldn't help but reach out to scratch it, but Yun Si grabbed her wrist.
"Just bear with it, it will be fine soon."
But the feeling became more and more intense. It felt like a feather brushing against my skin or an ant crawling across it. It was painful and itchy, extremely uncomfortable.
"No, I..." She couldn't help but open her eyes, and in an instant, her breathing stopped...
Yun Si didn't expect her to open her eyes suddenly, and was extremely panicked for a moment.
!!!!!!
Jiang Li held back from screaming.
On her ankle, a jade cuckold was lying, gnawing at her wound.
If Yun Si hadn't held her ankle, she would definitely have thrown the cicada away.
Yun Si quickly explained: "Don't be afraid, it's helping you heal your wounds."
Jiang Li gasped, goosebumps breaking out all over her body. She had read in a book that there was a kind of Gu technique that could speed up wound healing, requiring the Gu insect to clean the area around the wound.
Even though she knew it was a medical poison, she still felt terrified.
Yun Si comforted him, "It will be fine soon."
Holding back his nausea, Jiang Li asked knowingly, "What is this?"
"Sister Ali, don't you know?" Yun Si was a little surprised. "This is the medical Gu from Miaojiang."
"Then..." Jiang Li glanced at the man on the ground, "Did you knock him down too?"
"It was me." Yun Si replied, "I saw he wanted to hurt you, so I attacked him."
Jiang Li asked while observing his expression: "Do you Miao people all know witchcraft?"
Yun Si nodded, looking rather proud: "Yes, and I am better than them."
Hearing this answer, Jiang Li felt relieved.
Gu magic, it turns out, is a very common thing in Miaojiang...
Seeing this, Yun Si smiled.
If you want to learn, I can teach you." He paused and lowered his voice deliberately, "Just like the patience you gave me last night..."
Jiang Li suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, not wanting to listen anymore.
Really...you are speaking without any care...
An unexpected and strange wet touch came from the palm of his hand. Jiang Li quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, but saw Yun Si blinking innocently: "Did I say anything wrong?"
"You!" Jiang Li was angry. Why was this man licking her hand?
She swallowed her anger, pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Alright, you can move now, sister." Yun Si took the jade cicada back. "I didn't let you move just now because I was afraid the insect would get scared and lose control and hurt you..."
Jiang Li turned her ankle and it didn't seem to hurt as much. She looked around and found herself halfway up the mountain.
She was now a cripple and could not run faster than this man with healthy legs. Helplessly, Jiang Li temporarily gave up the urge to leave and could only find a way to let him go.
Yun Si asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
"Much better." Jiang Li looked at him, "I have to thank you again today."
"That's good."
"You are not that old, why do you leave home? Don't you miss home?" Jiang Li asked, trying to awaken his homesickness.
Yun Si shook his head: "No."
Jiang Li's mouth froze, and he asked again: "Where are you going?"
"Wherever my sister goes, I will go."
Jiang Li's smile gradually turned into a bitter smile.
If she had known it would be so troublesome, she should have taken advantage of his sleep last night and given him a poison that would make him sleep for three days and three nights!
And then, never see you again.
Jiang Li said: "I want to go home."
"Then I'll go too."
She gritted her teeth and said, "There's no extra room in the house."
"I can sleep in the same room with you."
"There are no extra beds."
"I don't mind sleeping with you..." Yun Si just finished speaking when he saw Jiang Li's resentful eyes and quickly changed his words, "I can sleep on the table, the stool, or even on the floor!"
Jiang Li looked at him and signaled him to shut up, then stood up.
"Sister, are you going home?" Yun Si asked excitedly when he saw this.
Jiang Li accepted his fate: "Yes, go home."
Yun Si smiled upon seeing this and bent down: "Let me carry you on my back. Your wound hasn't healed yet. What if it gets worse?"
"Okay." Jiang Li agreed without hesitation.
Jiang Li lay on his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and deliberately held her arms tightly.
Yun Si coughed twice: "Sister, it's hard for me to breathe when you hold me like this."
Jiang Li immediately let go and grabbed his shoulders with both hands instead.
"Okay, then sister, hold me up." Yun Si's body sank down.
Before leaving, Jiang Li suddenly remembered the unconscious man on the ground and asked, "Wait, is he dead?"
Yun Si turned around and looked at the person on the ground: "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, a spider crawled onto the man's body. The spider appeared from nowhere and was as big as a palm.
Jiang Li was startled.
The spider made a rustling sound as it crawled onto his hand and began to slowly gnaw at his body. In the blink of an eye, the flesh on his hand disappeared, revealing the white, blood-stained bones.
Jiang Li was stunned, his heart tightened, and he couldn't describe this strange feeling.
Yun Si's voice rang out again: "Now, dead."
