Chapter 449 It's all bugs
Gu Chengyun's face darkened: "Shidan, get up."
"No!" Stone Egg started kicking his legs on the ground, wailing as he did so. "I won't get up. Let him go. Don't hold him."
Qibao hugged her even tighter. Although he didn't know this "Aunt Bao," she smelled sweet and soft, just like his mother. So, that naughty child didn't deserve such a good mother. He even turned his head and made a face at Shidan.
Stone Egg was even more upset and howled even louder.
"Shut up!" Old Shi roared.
Not only was Old Master Shi highly respected among the villagers, but the children were also afraid of him. So, Stone Egg stopped crying instantly, but because he had been crying so hard, he accidentally started hiccuping.
Bee Flower hurriedly bent down, picked up her grandson, and hid behind Old Man Shi.
"Young lady, can we treat the monkey now?" Boss Shi asked Yun Yi.
Yunyi nodded: "Let's find a place to lie down."
"This place is close to where I live." Zhao Que hurriedly turned around and led the person to his residence.
His place was small, consisting of three stone rooms, and half of the courtyard was used to dry herbs.
Yunyi did not go inside, but instead asked Zhao Que to bring over a table and a half-basin of water.
The villagers gathered around, but no one got too close.
Yunyi laid the stone monkey on the table and took off its clothes, since it was summer and she wasn't worried about it catching a cold.
The stone monkey seemed a little shy, and its thin legs couldn't help but tuck in a little.
"Aunt Bao, that little brother's little brother is so small." Qi Bao, who was outside, hugged Gu Chengyun's neck and chirped softly.
Gu Chengyun, both amused and exasperated, tapped his little nose: "Don't talk nonsense, don't look around."
Qibao hummed twice.
Er Ya stood to the side, and although she knew that this was Qi Bao's biological mother, she still subconsciously felt uneasy.
Gu Chengyun naturally knew what the little girl was thinking, and couldn't help but pat her head: "Er Ya, right? You've worked hard."
Er Ya's nose suddenly felt a little sore, but in the end she just shook her head: "No...it's nothing."
Gu Chengyun's nose also felt a little sore, and he didn't know what to say, so he just patted her shoulder.
At this moment, Yunyi had already cut the stone monkey's palm and let it hang down, with half a basin of water underneath.
Strangely, no blood flowed from the stone monkey's palm even after it had been cut for a long time.
Yunyi took out silver needles and quickly inserted them into three major acupoints on the stone monkey. Soon, fresh blood dripped down, but the blood was dark black.
Of course, that's not all. When everyone looked at the half-basin of water, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The bloody water actually started to move after falling into the water.
"Insects!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone instinctively took a few steps back, their faces clearly showing their fear.
"What is this? How can there be so many worms in my son's body?" Monkey Dad felt somewhat overwhelmed.
“That’s a question for you to answer.” Yunyi looked at the other party. “Your place is clearly a beautiful place with clear water and excellent water quality, yet you insist on putting poison in the river.”
Upon hearing this, the villagers couldn't help but look at Old Man Shi.
Boss Shi's face looked rather grim.
"You think that the water flowing down from the mountain passes through the pool and continues downstream, so you place poisonous things on the edge of the pool. You think that the poison will just be washed into the river and won't affect the water in the pool. Little do you know, those poisonous things are not ordinary poisons, they are Gu poison. What is Gu? It is insects. Insects are alive. Occasionally one or two will swim upstream and enter the pool. Do you think that's difficult?"
The villagers' faces turned even uglier.
"Village chief, wasn't it said that placing that thing would stop the misfortune from continuing?" someone asked. "Why is it inside our children?"
"Did the monkeys mischievously drink the river water?" someone asked tentatively.
"Bullshit, my monkey is very well-behaved. He won't do anything I'm not allowed to do." The monkey's father was unhappy to hear that.
"Then why is he the only one with a big belly, while we're fine?"
"This..." Monkey Father couldn't help but look at Yun Yi.
"Who said you don't have it in your bodies?" Yunyi pouted. "It's just a matter of how much."
"You mean we have it in our bodies too? What should we do then?"
"Yeah, what should I do?"
"Don't listen to her nonsense, she's just trying to scare you, she..."
The villagers then had different ideas.
"Has anyone died in your village recently?" Yunyi interrupted the discussion.
"Hulu's wife just died a few days ago," someone said.
"Where's the body?"
"exist……"
"What are you going to do?" Old Shi interrupted the villager.
The villagers shrank back and didn't say anything more.
"I just want to tell you that the body wasn't cremated. As long as it hasn't been more than a month, the Gu worms inside the body shouldn't be all dead yet. You can go and see if there are any of the same worms," Yun Yi explained. "Of course, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
"Then why don't you deworm us?" someone asked.
"Why should I deworm you?" Yunyi looked at the other party. "You don't trust me, and you even want to detain me. Why should I deworm you? Besides, didn't you release those bugs yourselves?"
"Heroine." At this moment, a weak voice came.
Only then did everyone realize that the stone gourd was slowly moving closer from a distance, and the large snake was still coiled around his neck.
Yunyi twitched the corner of her mouth, realizing she had completely forgotten about this guy, and couldn't help but raise her hand to gesture.
Thirteen darted over in a flash and then obediently wrapped itself around Yunyi's arm.
"You're too heavy, get out of here." Yunyi threw Thirteen away.
Thirteen shook its big head in a wronged manner, then continued to stick close to it.
Yunyi could only feed it a jujube before it obediently scrambled up the big tree next to it, but its big head was still tilted towards this side, its tongue flicking in and out, which gave people goosebumps.
Shi Hulu breathed a sigh of relief, shook his wet pants, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and slowly walked over: "Dad, what happened? Ah, bugs?"
Old Shi rolled his eyes: "Alright, stop making such a fuss."
Stone Gourd glanced at Yun Yi, then shrank back behind Boss Shi.
"Girl, do you think everyone in our village has Gu worms in their bodies?" Old Shi closed his eyes briefly, trying to keep his tone even.
"Pretty much." Yun Yi nodded. "It's no exaggeration to say that everyone in your village will have died quietly within ten years." However, there was one exception. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Que, who happened to be looking at him as well.
