Xiaoman guessed it. However… “I don’t know.”
Old Gu's youngest daughter snorted, "He actually..."
Before she could finish speaking, her older brother interrupted her: "Little sister, if Father wants to go, let him go."
Old Gu's youngest daughter, whether out of anger or a desire to instill fear in Xiao Man, said: "Big brother, don't stop me. I have to say it today, otherwise I'll feel terrible."
"Little sister..."
Old Gu's youngest daughter looked at Xiaoman and said, "My father said that if we don't let him go south with you, he will cast a spell on us."
Seeing that Xiaoman's expression hadn't changed at all, Lao Gu's youngest daughter continued, "We are his children. Just because we don't want him to take risks, he's going to use a curse on us. If this were..." Lao Gu's youngest daughter paused and looked at Xiaoman. Meaning: If it were an outsider, my father would definitely use a curse on them.
Xiaoman understood. Lao Gu's youngest daughter wanted to scare her. Who wouldn't be afraid of someone who could cast a spell on their own child? If she was afraid, she naturally wouldn't dare to keep Lao Gu by her side.
Old Gu's eldest son also figured it out. "The things we just said were what my dad told us to say. My dad said that if we said anything wrong, he would let those insects bite us. For every word we said, he would let those insects bite us a few times."
Xiaoman smiled. "If you don't want to, I can leave your father out. However, your father won't cast a spell on you."
Old Gu's youngest daughter didn't believe it: "How do you know my father wouldn't use witchcraft on us?"
Old Gu's eldest son chimed in, "Yeah, my dad's wanted to go south for ages. Now that he finally has the chance, if we dare stop him, he'll definitely send those bugs to bite us."
Xiaoman looked at Lao Gu's children: "Because your father is not proficient in Gu magic. You could say he's just a Gu magic enthusiast."
Old Gu's eldest son thought for a moment and said, "You mean, my father doesn't use witchcraft?"
Xiaoman nodded. "Even if he could, he couldn't guarantee he could control those Gu. You are your father's children, and he wouldn't risk your bodies."
Old Gu's youngest daughter's eyes immediately lit up. "That's right. Xiaoman, you should go quickly."
“Okay.” Xiaoman took the money out of her pocket and put it on the table. “This is the consultation fee. Your father wanted me to take him to the south, so I didn’t take it.”
After putting the money on the table, Xiaoman stood up.
Old Gu's youngest daughter was about to collect the money from the table when her older brother stopped her: "Wait."
Old Gu's youngest daughter thought her older brother was afraid she would take the money: "Brother, with so many of you watching, I will definitely give the money to Dad."
“That’s not what I meant. Little sister, although Father won’t use witchcraft on us, he’ll definitely be angry if we don’t let him go. Father is old, and if he gets angry and something bad happens to him…”
"this……"
Old Gu's second son: "Yes. It's Dad's only hobby."
Old Gu's eldest son said, "If we don't let Father go this time, he might never come into contact with real Gu magic in his life." Gu magic is both mysterious and terrifying, and most people really don't dare to explore it. "If that happens, Father might not be able to close his eyes in peace even when he dies."
"this……"
Xiaoman looked at Lao Gu's children: "If I can find someone who is proficient in Gu magic this time, I will tell him that I have an elder who loves Gu magic. If he is willing, I will introduce him to your father."
Old Gu's youngest daughter's eyes lit up immediately. "That's a great idea. Big brother, second brother, let's listen to Xiaoman."
Old Gu's eldest son also thought this was a good idea. "Okay."
Xiaoman: "Then I'll be going."
Old Gu's second son: "Wait. Big brother, little sister, let's go in and talk to Dad. If Dad agrees, then we can let Xiaoman go."
Old Gu's eldest son: "Alright. Let's go inside and discuss it with Dad."
After Xiaoman said that Lao Gu wouldn't use witchcraft on them, Lao Gu's eldest and youngest sons were no longer so afraid of those insects.
Old Gu's youngest daughter was still a little scared. "Big brother, second brother, you go inside. I'll wait for you outside."
Old Gu's second son said, "You're a girl. If you cry and beg, maybe your father will change his mind."
Old Gu's eldest son: "Yes. Just tell Dad that we've already lost our mother. If something happens to her, we'll lose our father too."
Old Gu's second son: "Yes, after you finish speaking, you cry. Cry as hard as you can."
"Well... okay."
More than half an hour later, Old Gu led the children out of the house. Old Gu looked both relieved and helpless. His youngest daughter's nose was red; it was obvious she had been crying.
Old Gu sat down in a chair: "Xiaoman, I'm not going. Be careful."
"Hmm. If I can befriend a master of Gu techniques, I'll introduce you to him."
"Alright. Xiaoman, although I'm not an expert in Gu magic, I do know a little bit. Let me explain it to you."
"good."
On the other side, after the old doctor left, Han Bin looked at Nao Nao and said, "Don't worry. Dad will definitely find a way to remove the Gu from your body."
"Um."
“Tell your father about your mission from beginning to end. Hmm, let me think about when you planted the Gu.”
"Okay. That time..."
After Nao Nao finished speaking, Han Bin thought for a moment and said, "According to what you're saying, you must have been infected with this curse by accident."
"Yes. Our mission that time was quite simple. We didn't have any contact with the locals."
"It's alright. Dad's here. Dad'll figure something out for you. I have a lot of comrades-in-arms from the South."
"good."
Han Bin was pondering which of his comrades might have some knowledge of Gu poison. The old doctor returned. Han Bing was just about to speak to the old doctor when Xiao Man followed him in. "You knew everything?"
"Um."
"Nao Nao and I didn't tell you because we were afraid you would worry."
“I know.” Xiaoman looked at Naonao and said, “Can you ask the army for some leave? If so, let’s go to the south.”
Han Bin: "Yes. I'll take care of it."
Xiaoman: "Okay."
Tengteng knew that Han Bin had taken Naonao to see a doctor, so he took a few more days off. Tengteng was waiting for Han Bin and Naonao at home when he found that Xiaoman had returned with them.
Tengteng looked at Naonao. Meaning: Does Mom know?
Nao Nao nodded.
After entering the house, Nao Nao told Tengteng that he had been bewitched.
Tengteng is in a special forces unit. After learning that Naonao had been poisoned by a curse, Tengteng said, "We have all sorts of people there. I'll go back and ask them if any of them know how to cure the curse."
Soon, Tengteng returned. "No one in our area knows how to cure Gu poison. I told my boss I wanted to go south to learn about Gu poison techniques, and he agreed."
Xiaoman: "Then let's set off after Naonao takes leave."
Han Bin: "Okay."
Soon, Nao Nao's leave was approved.
Zuo Zuo, You You, and their siblings all want to go south with Xiao Man after they find out that Nao Nao has been poisoned.
Han Bin: "You should go to school. This time, your mother and I will take your older brother Nao Nao and your older brother Tengteng with us."
Xiaoman pointed to her older sister. "And her. She's too fat."
