The man in black quickly answered.
"I...we only catch one child at a time. There are no other children left in the cave. As for what kind of medicine this is..."
Honestly, he didn't know either!
He only knew that this was not a finished product, but what kind of medicine was it supposed to be?
How could a lowly henchman have the right to ask such a question? But he knew, "Every time we make the potion, we hand it over to Lord Black, and then, then he delivers it upstairs."
Blackie?
General Cui seized on the key point and pressed further, "Who is Lord Hei, and how did you contact him?"
The man in black said, "We don't know who he is either. He always wears a mask when he comes, so we can't see his face at all!"
General Cui pondered for a moment.
It seems this is a large net.
He then asked one last question, "Are there any of your people around Anping Village, or where are your other gathering places?"
The man in black didn't know either.
General Cui didn't believe it, so he looked at the other men in black.
The other men in black were so frightened that they quickly echoed his sentiments.
Therefore, General Cui had no choice but to order his guards to take them back to the capital for further interrogation. Tian Guoguo, however, still had a question: "How did you all refine your medicine?"
The answer to this question is probably quite brutal…
General Cui had wanted to ask before, but he was afraid of scaring Xiao Guoguo, so he hadn't asked. He didn't expect her to ask on her own.
He frowned slightly.
I'm thinking of persuading the little guy not to ask this question.
He'll ask her when he gets back and then tell her!
Before he could speak, the man in black started beeping.
"Lord Black will give us a kind of Gu worm, and those Gu worms will...eat the child's body completely..."
"Next, put the Gu worms back in and freeze them for three days. Finally, take them out and boil them into sulfur water!"
As he spoke, he looked toward the stone mill.
Just as General Cui had predicted.
The worms are eating away at the flesh; how much pain must those children be in?
Tian Guoguo clenched her little fists tightly as she listened, and the guards around her all wished they could chop these heartless beasts into pieces and feed them to the dogs!
But now is not the time.
General Cui gently patted Xiao Guoguo's back to comfort her silently.
Tian Guoguo knew that even if she killed these men in black now, it would be of no use, so she wanted to go and see the stone mill.
General Cui carried her over.
The stone mill has been cleaned, but you can still faintly smell a foul odor.
Tian Guoguo wanted General Cui to put her down so she could get closer to the millstone and take a closer look.
General Cui, however, did not agree.
Although these men in black have confessed, the truth still needs to be verified by taking them back for further interrogation.
Whether this stone mill is poisonous is another question.
Tian Guoguo understood General Cui's concerns, so she could only secretly release a zombie worm from her spatial storage and let it walk around the stone mill.
Afterwards, the zombie worms were returned to the space.
She'd take a closer look at the zombie worm that evening.
etc.
Gu worms!
When Tian Guoguo released the zombie worms, she suddenly remembered the Gu worm that the man in black had mentioned. She hurriedly asked the man in black where he had put the Gu worm.
Since the men in black have captured her…
There must be Gu worms involved!
Her question reminded General Cui of the same issue.
The man in black had a bitter expression on his face. "It's on the person you just killed!"
General Cui immediately ordered his personal guards to go and search for it.
The guards should go quickly.
As a result, not only were the Gu worms gone, but even the black-clad man who had been thrown to the corner by the guards was gone!
It was probably done by the "Lord Black" mentioned by the man in black. The guards immediately went out to check if the guards at the cave entrance were still there.
The guards were all there.
He then asked them, "Did you see anyone come in?"
The guards all looked completely bewildered.
They had been hiding in the concealed areas around the cave entrance and had not seen anyone enter the cave.
The guard immediately went back to inform General Cui.
General Cui pondered for a moment, then ordered his guards to put on gloves and search all the other men in black present.
The body search revealed nothing.
Thus, General Cui could only have some of his personal guards take them back to the capital, while leaving some of his personal guards in the cave.
They're waiting for that Black man!
Once everything was arranged, they immediately descended the mountain.
Xie Shuyan was waiting outside the deep forest with a bodyguard.
Upon seeing General Cui and his entourage emerge from afar, Xie Shuyan immediately scrambled down from the tree and rushed toward his wife.
"Wife, you're back."
As he spoke, without caring that Tian Guoguo was still being held by General Cui, he began to check if his wife was injured.
However, due to his limited height, he could only check that there was no blood on Tian Guoguo's legs and feet.
As for the upper body…
He can't detect it!
He then demanded that General Cui put his wife down, arrogantly declaring, "This is my wife, put her down now!"
General Cui…
Why do I smell a vinegary odor for no apparent reason?
He was both amused and exasperated; this kid was quite domineering!
But General Cui didn't just listen to Xie Shuyan; he first looked at the little Guoguo in his arms, and when the little Guoguo nodded in agreement…
Only then did he put the person down.
Xie Shuyan then began to circle around and inspect his wife.
After confirming several times that his wife was alright, he finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Holding his wife's hand behind his back, he said to General Cui with a touch of arrogance, "Aren't the pebbles I gave you very useful?"
If he hadn't mentioned it, General Cui would have almost forgotten.
But this is not the time to discuss this matter; we must first descend the mountain.
General Cui pointed to the wild boars being carried by his personal guards behind him and said with a smile, "Nah, it's all thanks to your stones, kid!"
That's actually a bit of an exaggeration.
However, it's good if it can make the kids happy!
Xie Shuyan was so proud of himself that he held his head high.
General Cui then added, "You cannot tell anyone about the stones, nor can you bring them into the deep mountains without permission."
Do you know?
Xie Shuyan's eyes darted around very quickly.
He countered, "Then can you teach me how to use a slingshot?"
General Cui was a little confused by this question.
Then Xie Shuyan continued, "I also want to be like you, able to shoot through tree trunks with stones, so I can protect my wife!"
Is this... negotiating with General Cui?
Tian Guoguo was almost stunned.
Wasn't Xie Shuyan in the original owner's memories supposed to be stupid? But no matter how she looked at it, Xie Shuyan seemed incredibly smart.
General Cui was also stunned for a moment.
But soon, he smiled.
Don't let his young age fool you, this guy's heart and soul are completely devoted to his wife!
General Cui patted his thin shoulder and agreed, "Alright, then you must remember what you said today!"
"Protect your wife well!"
This time, Xie Shuyan not only raised her head but also straightened her back, firmly replying, "Okay, it's a deal!"
As he spoke, he even gave General Cui a high five!
General Cui also cooperated, extending his fist, which was twice the size of Xie Shuyan's, and gave him a high five!
This place is not safe to stay for long.
After the high-five, General Cui was about to lead everyone down the mountain.
Tian Guoguo walked very slowly, and General Cui wanted to continue carrying her, but Xie Shuyan stopped him.
"I'll carry my wife on my own!"
As he spoke, he squatted down in front of Tian Guoguo, his childish voice full of determination, "Wife, get on, I'll carry you home!"
I even felt a strange sense of security!
Before Tian Guoguo could move, the guard who had been staring at Xie Shuyan earlier ran over, picked her up, and scolded her.
