In the dead of night, a group of people walked quietly through the silent village.
"This is the well!"
It was Luo Sheng who spoke.
Everyone walked to the well. In the dark night, they didn't see anything unusual about the well.
"According to what Mr. Luo said, I think the people in this village must have been poisoned!"
Mrs. Qingluan on the side suddenly spoke softly.
According to Luo Sheng, the people in this village were normal before, but in recent months, they have begun to suffer from lethargy! Especially when it gets dark, people in the village begin to fall into a slumber, unable to move! But in the early morning of the next day, when the rooster crows, the people in the village will automatically wake up again!
If they are said to be poisoned, what poison in the world can make people fall asleep at dark and wake up at dawn, without any abnormality in the body, and the doctor can't even detect the pulse?
If they were said to be possessed by evil spirits, there was not a trace of discomfort in their bodies! There is no trace of evil spirits in this village! The only possible scenario is that they have all been bewitched! It's just that no one else knows why the poisoner chose this remote village to attack!
"Ziyue, take the fire folding piece!"
Yun Qi ordered Yuan Li to fetch a bucket of water, and then asked Yuan Ziyue to hand over a fire stick and light a torch! Yunqi walked to the bucket of water, squatted down, and held a torch to get closer! The clear well water looks normal!
Yun Qi stood up and asked Luo Sheng again in a suspicious tone: "Master Luo, are you trying to fool us again?"
After saying that, Yunqi raised his foot and kicked the bucket! The cold well water spilled all over the floor!
"I swear, this time, I really didn't lie to you!"
Luo Sheng raised three fingers and swore.
"Your Highness, look, what is that?"
At this moment, Bai Yanqing suddenly shouted! She quickly ran to Yun Qi, tugged on his sleeves, then pointed to the ground and spoke tremblingly.
Hearing this, Yun Qi quickly turned sideways, held up a torch, and shined it on the ground.
Wherever the bucket of water was kicked over just now, there seemed to be something crawling on the ground in the muddy water! Once illuminated by the fire, the things on the ground fled in all directions, and finally, they all crawled into the well again!
“What on earth is this?!”
Everyone was startled and stepped back, fearing that they might accidentally get caught in this weird thing!
"It's the sleeping Gu!"
Mrs. Qingluan said sharply!
Sleep Gu? What is it?
"Sleeping Gu can make people fall asleep! At first, they will sleep for a few hours, and then, slowly, the sleeping time will become longer and longer! Finally, they will continue to sleep until... ...I can never wake up again!" Z.br>
Mrs. Qingluan slowly explained.
According to Mrs. Qingluan, this sleeping Gu likes to live in damp and damp places without seeing sunlight all year round! Usually they hide in wells, or in dark and damp places!
However, this village is located in a remote and sparsely populated area. Why would anyone attack such a small, cornered village? This matter has to make people think deeply!
At present, although I learned from Mrs. Qingluan that the people in this village have all been poisoned by the sleeping poison, so as soon as it gets dark, every household closes the doors and windows and falls asleep! But... how to solve this sleeping Gu?
"How to cure this sleeping poison?"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head, looked at Mrs. Qingluan, and asked expectantly.
Across the dark night, Bai Yanqing could feel Mrs. Qingluan's hesitation. It seems that she is not very clear about Bai Yanqing's question!
"I know!"
At that time, Luo Sheng was at the side and spoke cautiously.
Bai Yanqing rolled her eyes at him countless times in her heart! Since he knows the method, why has he been grinding here for so long?
"This sleeping Gu is from the Molecular Mother Gu.
, what is in this well is the child Gu, as long as the mother Gu is found! Once the mother Gu is eliminated, the child Gu will naturally not become a climate! "
Luo Sheng continued.
"Where will the mother Gu be?"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head and asked seriously. This time, she didn't choke Luo Sheng angrily.
"According to the sleeping Gu's habits, the mother Gu will usually live in a place with abundant water and where it doesn't see the sun all year round!"
Luo Sheng answered without hesitation, and this time, he did not try to be mysterious.
Where would it be where there is abundant water and no sunshine all year round? As soon as Luo Sheng said these words, everyone began to rack their brains, thinking about where on earth could fit this characteristic!
The location of this village is relatively secluded! There are not many families in the village. The outside of the village is surrounded by a circle of farmland! If no one guides the way, ordinary people will not be able to find this place! There are dozens of houses scattered here and there, and it seems that the population is not very prosperous!
A cold wind blew by, bringing with it scattered dead leaves! At this time, the east had turned slightly white, and the rooster in the chicken coop began to crow at the top of his lungs! It won't be long before the whole village wakes up!
Everyone still has no clue! Bai Yanqing knelt down boredly, picked up a fallen leaf on the ground, held it on her fingertips, and gestured boredly.
"Madam, what kind of tree leaves are these?"
Yun Qi suddenly bent down, took the dead leaf in Bai Yanqing's hand, and said thoughtfully.
"Reed leaves! Your Highness, haven't you seen them?"
Bai Yanqing patted the dust on his hands, straightened up, and said nonchalantly to Yunqi!
Yun Qi raised his head suddenly and stared into Bai Yanqing's eyes, which made Bai Yanqing's heart tremble!
"What...what happened? Your Highness?"
Bai Yanqing spoke tremblingly, thinking something had happened to Yun Qi!
Yun Qi raised the reed leaf in his hand and waved it in front of Bai Yanqing's eyes: "Where do the reeds grow?"
"Of course reeds grow in..."
Bai Yanqing spoke without hesitation. Just halfway through her words, she suddenly opened her eyes wide as if she remembered something, and stared at the reed leaf in Yunqi's hand!
Yes, Reed! Reeds most commonly grow in low, moist and shallow water along rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps, etc.! And the reproductive capacity of reeds is amazing! Therefore, reeds generally breed in patches! But under the reeds, it's dark and humid, with no sunlight all year round! From this we can know that the reeds are the most suitable place for the sleeping mother Gu to stay!
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing hurriedly asked Luo Sheng where were the reeds around the village!
After Luo Sheng thought for a moment, he raised his finger and pointed at the entrance of the village: "There is a large reed bush over there!"
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing quickly pulled Yun Qi and ran towards the entrance of the village! Simply, this small village has its advantages, and within a few steps, we reached the end of the village!
Sure enough, there are large reeds on both sides of the village entrance!
Even if the reeds are found, there is still a bigger problem, and that is...how to find that small Gu insect in this huge reeds?
Bai Yanqing is worried again!
At this moment, Mrs. Qingluan, who had been following Bai Yanqing and the others, suddenly walked forward!
"Leave it to me to find the poisonous insects!"
Indeed, among all these people, only Mrs. Qingluan has done a lot of research on Gu insects, right?
Having said that, Mrs. Qingluan still took out the small porcelain jar and released the long black worm! I don’t know what secret technique Mrs. Qingluan used, but the long insect, as if it could understand Mrs. Qingluan’s words, twisted its body and burrowed into the reeds! After a while, the long worm made several weird noises! When Mrs. Qingluan saw this, she quickly followed her!
The bumpy and muddy reeds make it difficult for ordinary people to enter. Not to mention getting their shoes and socks wet, even these fine clothes will be stained with mud! However, Bai Yanqing can't care about this! She followed without hesitation! I was not intimidated by the mire at all!
Bai Yanqing followed him, Yun Qi was naturally worried, so he also followed him! However, Yunqi had some skills. He jumped lightly, flew up, and in the blink of an eye, he ran to where Mrs. Qingluan was!
When Bai Yanqing arrived, what he saw was Mrs. Qingluan squatting in the reeds, looking for the mother Gu of the sleeping Gu!
"Found it, here!"
Mrs. Qingluan shouted excitedly.
Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi hurried forward and saw a round, chubby black insect lying obediently in the palm of Mrs. Qingluan's hand!
Mrs. Qingluan carefully put the fat insect into the porcelain jar she carried with her, and then walked out of the swamp with Bai Yanqing and the others!
"How to deal with this mother Gu?"
Seeing that Mrs. Qingluan didn't seem to want to kill the mother Gu, Bai Yanqing asked curiously.
"It would be a pity to destroy it like this!"
Mrs. Qingluan said with a look of reluctance.
"If it doesn't die, those sub-gu in the well will definitely continue to harm the people in this village!"
Bai Yanqing'e frowned slightly. She couldn't have sympathy for such a harmful thing!
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Qingluan also knew that Bai Yanqing was right, so she stretched out her hand, took out the mother Gu and put it on the ground! Bai Yanqing didn't even think about it. She stepped forward and stepped on the fat insect hard!
"He's not dead yet?"
Seeing the Gu insect, which was still looking very impressive, Bai Yanqing was stunned!
"You can't crush it if you step on it like this!"
Mrs. Qingluan smiled, and then released her long worm!
I saw the long worm twisting its body and slowly crawling towards the fat worm. From the trembling body of the fat worm, it can be seen that it is really afraid of the long worm! The long black worm crawled up to the fat worm, and then, with a "swish", it opened its mouth and bit the fat worm into its belly at once! In an instant, the mother Gu became its meal!
After a full meal, the long black worm shook its head with satisfaction, then turned around and crawled towards Mrs. Qingluan again!
At that time, Mrs. Qingluan was opening the porcelain jar with a smile and placing it on the ground, just waiting for the worm to crawl in obediently!
"The mother Gu is dead, has the crisis been resolved for the people in this village?"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head and asked Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng nodded and agreed.
At this time, the rooster crows, and the rising sun is slowly rising, spreading the morning light across the earth!
In the village, the chimneys of every house have begun to emit smoke. Children's cries, old men's coughs, women's cries...the sounds kept coming! They seemed to have no idea what terrible things they had experienced not long ago!
At the well at the head of the village, there were already people who got up early, brought their wooden buckets, and went to fetch water! The clear well water is so crystal clear that no trace of impurities can be seen in it!
"very nice!"
Luo Sheng raised his eyes, looked at the scene in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly!
Until this moment, Bai Yanqing still couldn't figure out why Luo Sheng would save them! Luo Sheng shouldn't have much to do with the people in this village, right?
"You and them don't seem to know each other. Why do you go through so much trouble to save them?"
After all, Bai Yanqing still couldn't hold back her words, so she spoke out what she wanted to ask.
"because……"
Luo Sheng turned his head, smiled at Bai Yanqing, and then continued: "Because, the poison in this village was caused by me!"
The morning light shone on Luo Sheng's flawless face, which should have been a very beautiful scene. But when everyone heard Luo Sheng's words, they all looked sideways, and they were all shocked from ear to ear!
Under this beautiful face, there is actually a snake-like mind! No one can believe it, right?
