Lai Aju said that the Golden Silkworm Gu was seriously injured and it would take at least a period of time to recover. As for the specific length of time it would take, there was no clear figure.
This also means that receiving the soul-eating Gu's poison this time was entirely due to the Golden Silkworm Gu, but if there is a next time, then he can only wait for death obediently.
Although the poison of the soul-eating Gu was cured, after the struggle of life and death, I was actually exhausted and weak. I wanted to find a place to lean on, but it seemed that in the forbidden space in front of me, there was only one hanging on the stone wall. There was no place for me to lean on other than my coffin.
Fortunately, Liu Tingting was always by my side. Seeing my weakness, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to support me.
Only Gouzi, he was not deeply affected by the poison, and he solved it in time, so it didn't seem to be anything serious.
"How could I be infected with the soul-eating poison? What's going on?" Lai Ju took back the small jar containing the golden silkworm poison and asked me with a puzzled face.
Seeing Lai Ju ask, I recounted everything about drinking the flower wine handed to me by the girl while wandering around.
After listening to my retelling, Lai Aju frowned slightly and said with some doubts: "I haven't returned to the Lai tribe for more than ten years, so I don't know about the Lai tribe girl you mentioned. I don’t know, but the soul-eating Gu is too cruel to eat souls and eat flesh, so grandma had already banned it strictly when she first became the clan leader.”
"So I think the girl who handed you the flower wine to drink must not have known that the flower wine was poisoned, and she must have been instructed by someone else to do so."
Lai Aju's words have made it very clear. Soul-eating Gu has been banned since the old woman became the clan leader, which means that this incident must have happened at least several decades ago.
And that girl is only seventeen or eighteen years old, how could she possibly know about the soul-eating Gu? In addition, there is no grudge between me and her, so there is really no reason for her to harm me when she has nothing to do. I am a foreigner who may be able to save the lives of their entire clan.
Being instructed by others, this is the best explanation at the moment.
Lai Aotian immediately became the top suspect in my mind, and he was also the only suspect.
When I thought of Lai Aotian's face, I was so angry that I gritted my teeth, clenched my fists unwillingly, and my body started to tremble slightly.
Perhaps he had already guessed what I was thinking from my physical appearance. Sai Qingfeng spoke to me softly: "Young man, if you know who caused the poison, just pay more attention in the future. Don't be angry for a moment." It breaks unity, and even if you ask questions face to face, people may not admit it, and if you do it, with your current state, what chance do you have of winning?"
After listening to Sai Qingfeng's words, I slowly relaxed my clenched fists helplessly. Sai Qingfeng had made it very clear that Lai Aotian was plotting against me behind my back. If he dared to plot against me, he would Don't be afraid that I will go find him.
Let’s not talk about whether he will refuse to admit it. If he just uses force, I will not be his opponent at all even in his heyday, let alone like a weak chicken now. Then I will only seek death. Son.
"Mr. Sai, I understand." I nodded and responded silently.
The matter about me being poisoned by the soul-eating Gu has been solved for the time being, and then there is the matter about the hanging coffin without the corpse.
At the mention of the empty hanging coffin, Lai Ju's tears flowed down her cheeks again.
Lai Ju told us that the old woman was not Lai Ju's direct relative, but her savior.
More than ten years ago, Lai Aju was also a flowery Lai girl, but an accidental disaster took the lives of her parents and turned her into an orphan.
Lai Aotian was in his twenties at the time and was not yet an elder, so he often cared about Lai Ju, intentionally or unintentionally.
Then one day, Lai'aju rescued a man from the river and secretly let him recuperate in the clan village. The two of them fell in love after going back and forth.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Somehow, Lai Aotian found out about this matter.
At that time, Lai Aotian calmly deceived Lai Aju into his home, and then tried to do something wrong, but was strongly opposed by Lai Aju.
In order to get Lai'aju, Lai Aotian used that man as a threat, threatening that if word spread, not only Lai'aju would be severely punished by clan rules, but even the man would die.
At that time, when Lai Aju was facing a difficult decision, one of Lai Aotian's followers sent news that the man had been rescued by someone else, but he didn't even know who it was.
Later, Lai Ju learned that the person who rescued the man was none other than Grandma, the elder of the female clan at that time.
The old woman said that the man was taken away from the clan by him, and asked Lai Ju to completely forget about him and return to his original life.
Lai Aoju agreed for the time being, and then was threatened by Lai Aotian again. Unexpectedly, Lai Aotian found the things left by the man in Lai Aoju's residence.
He used this as a threat to seize Lai'aju, but Lai'aju didn't obey, so Lai Aotian added insult to injury and informed the whole clan about his secret possession of foreign men. Lai'aju almost died because of this, but he was forcibly rescued by the old woman. , and gave away the clan land.
Ordinary clan members may not be able to enter and leave the clan area at will, but as a clan leader, they can come and go freely, so over the years, the old grandmother often went out to see Lai Aju.
The old grandmother had been alone all her life, but she cared deeply for Lai Ju. The two of them had already regarded each other as close relatives, which was why Lai Ju was so sad.
Of course, Lai Ju didn't explain it in such detail at that time, and I only learned about it later from someone's mouth.
Back to the present, Lai Aju missed her old grandma, so she asked for candies from Liu Tingting to bribe King Kong, the guard of the forbidden area, in order to finally block the old grandma's remains.
But what Aju, the leader, didn't expect was that when she opened the coffin, there was no old woman's body inside. It was empty and there was not even the slightest trace left.
"There's no body? That's strange."
Sai Qingfeng frowned slightly, thinking hard.
"Is it possible that the old lady is not dead at all?" Liu Tingting boldly expressed her thoughts, which shocked a few of us.
"What? Grandma is not dead?!"
Lai Ju exclaimed, with a trace of expectation on her face.
After hearing Liu Tingting's bold idea, Sai Qingfeng suddenly nodded slightly and said: "Well, maybe it is possible. Looking at this wooden coffin, there is no trace of death at all. Maybe there is really a human being." It’s possible that he didn’t die, but as for why he faked his death, I don’t know the reason.”
Even Sai Qingfeng said this, and Lai Aju's mood improved a lot, "That's great, grandma is not dead. The reason why she faked her death must be for her own reasons."
"Yes, the time must have not come yet. Once the time comes, the old granny will definitely appear in front of you, Sister Aju. This must be the case."
Liu Tingting took advantage of the situation and turned on the comfort mode.
Then everyone left the forbidden area.
When I was being helped out of the forbidden area by Liu Tingting, I inadvertently looked back and found a faint black air coming from one of the hanging coffins on the stone wall.
Maybe this forbidden area is weird, and seeing a black energy is normal, but I always feel that things are not as simple as everyone thinks. Is the old lady really still alive?
After returning to Lai Ju's residence, I collapsed on the bamboo bed helplessly. Liu Tingting was busy in front of me. She asked me if I was thirsty or hungry, and asked me if I was hungry. Although she was a little busy, she asked me if I was thirsty and hungry. It's annoying, but it makes me feel happy.
Gouzi once again stood in front of the bamboo wall as always, staring directly at the several old photos above.
At some point, Lai Ju also walked over, raised her hand and pointed at one of the photos and said, "Alang, this is you!"
