The miraculous medicine turned into a deadly poison.

  I took one glance and knew these two were no good.

  Why? Based on my many years of experience collecting herbs in the mountains, all Miao people who live deep in the mountains have one characteristic: they are very wary of outsiders, especially Han Chinese. This is something that anyone who has ever looked into their eyes will never forget.

  。

  The old man, leaning on a crutch, saw me come in and first looked me up and down before suddenly slamming the side door shut with his crutch.

  "Is this guy a martial arts master or some kind of freak?"

  I was shocked by what I saw in front of me and even forgot to shout for help.

  It's a good thing I didn't shout, because the young Miao woman next to me immediately put a sharp knife to my neck.

  This Miao girl looks like she's only seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and slender, with a pretty face, big eyes, and skin as white as milk. Her chest is full and ripe, but unfortunately my life is still in her hands, so I don't dare look at her too much, afraid that she'll get angry and cut my throat with one knife.

  "What's your name?" The old Miao man's voice was hoarse beyond compare, as if there was a bone stuck in his throat.

  "Grandpa, I'm called Jin Many." Although I still don't know what he wants, being polite can't hurt.

  "What's your relationship with Hei Zha? Where is Long Piao now?" The old man didn't buy my story and asked gruffly.

  "Eh yo, sir, you're really making things difficult for me. I don't know any Black Zha Ma Zha, let alone what a Dragon Gadfly is." I was indeed completely unaware of the things he was talking about.

  "Bang."

  Who knew that the little Miao girl who held a knife to my neck would suddenly slap me, slapping me so hard that I saw stars, my face burning with pain, and my mouth instantly swelling up.

  "Don't try to sweet-talk us." The Miao girl said viciously, but her voice still sounded pleasant, like a little skylark.

  I've grown up so big, except for my mother, when was I ever hit by a woman? Even if this little girl is pretty, it's not okay, so suddenly my heart was on fire, and then I glared at Miao Nü with righteous indignation.

  "Even if you beat me to death, I still don't know what 'Hei Zha' and 'Long Piao' are. I'm just not the kind of person who lies."

  Don't say I'm a coward, whoever has a knife held against their throat wouldn't dare be brave either.

  。

  "So I'm asking you, have you seen a Miao person around thirty years old with darker skin and a scar on his left cheek in the past two days?" The Miao girl's face turned red, but her tone was still icy.

  My heart skipped a beat, wasn't she talking about the Miao man who sold me the dragon turtle yesterday? Although the men in the Miao village are all quite dark-skinned, that man's scar on his left cheek is as striking as a large centipede, it's unforgettable.

  "Yesterday a Miao person came to my store and sold some Longguazi, is he Heizha?" I replied honestly.

  The little girl spoke in Miao language and muttered something that sounded like a curse.

  "What you're referring to as 'long pao' shouldn't be those turtle-like dragons, right?" I immediately thought of this possibility.

  "Are there five of them?" The old Miao man asked anxiously, his two thick black eyebrows twitching up and down.

  "There are five."

  "Where are they now?"

  "They've all run away." I replied with a bitter face.

  I didn't dare say that maybe I swallowed one, looking at the fiery temper of this Miao girl, I was afraid she would cut me open on the spot to find the bug.

  "Escaped? Ah, it's all fate." The old man sighed and patted his chest heavily, as if he was in pain.

  Watching the old man's gesture of pounding his chest and stamping his feet, I thought of that 5,000 yuan that had been splashed away, and I felt a sharp pain too.

  "Grandfather, don't worry yet, maybe the dragonflies haven't flown far away, I'll try to summon them." The Miao girl hurriedly comforted him, then took out a delicate small flute and started playing a soft melody.

  "Summoning insects? Do you think you're from the Five Poisons Sect? This girl looks pretty good, but what's wrong with her brain?"

  I was staring at the little girl's pretty face with regret, when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach, as if something was tearing apart my heart and lungs. The unbearable pain made me unable to stand up straight, and with a thud, I fell to the ground, rolling around in agony.

  "How can there be one in your belly?" The young girl's pretty face turned cold, stopped blowing the flute, and looked down at me with a superior attitude.

  。

  "How the hell did I know, ahh, it hurts so much." The pain in my stomach also made me burst out with a curse. It seems that this little girl is indeed being controlled by that bug.

  "Grandpa, this dragon has been stained with the filthy blood of the Han people and its spiritual nature is gone. It's no good anymore, let's go."

  "Whatever." The old man let out a long sigh and stood up, ready to leave.

  Although I didn't quite understand what they meant, I suddenly remembered a sentence that my senior told me when I first went into the mountains to collect medicine.

  "When you enter Miao Village, don't drink their water and don't eat their food, be careful of being poisoned by them."

  The Miao people will go down to the Gu, I've heard many colleagues mention this before, but I've never been very concerned about it, because I'm naturally not interested in those vague and mysterious legends.

  But just now that little girl blew the whistle, and my stomach felt like it was being bitten by insects, this is a personal pain. They say that women giving birth are so painful that they want to ascend to heaven, I'm almost there too.

  Could it be that I really met someone who uses Gu today?

  "Is there a gu in my stomach that you've put there?" I struggled to say, and just saying these two sentences made me break out in cold sweat all over.

  "You're a Han person and you know about Gu?" The Miao girl turned her head around, saying with a face full of disdain.

  It's done. It seems that this time I really got caught. I didn't expect that after entering and leaving the Miao village nearly a dozen times, I would finally get stung by a wasp in my own home.

  "What's your grudge against me? Why are you bullying me like this?" Under the stimulation of pain, my temper also rose.

  "Hmph, if you weren't so greedy and took the dragonfly for a dragon turtle, would you have been stung? You Han people are just too greedy, it's no wonder you're having bad luck." The little girl sneered repeatedly.

  At this time, I didn't have the heart to think about why they were so hostile towards Han people, because the worms in my stomach had already tormented me to the point where I could hardly speak.

  "Save me, no matter how much it costs." I was so weak that I could hardly breathe.

  "Money? Do you know that it took our village fifty years to cultivate these five dragon leeches? How much money do you have to compensate us for them? Dragon leeches that have sucked human blood will recognize their master. You don't understand the art of Gu, and in at most three hours, you will be devoured from the inside out by the Gu insects and die."

  "It serves you right." The young woman let out a cold snort, then followed the old man out of my house without looking back.

  Damn you, did you think you could just wake up the worms in my stomach and then just leave like that?

  I had wanted to scold them, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I felt a sweetness in my throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Then I felt something flowing down from my nostrils and the corners of my eyes, and when I touched it, my hands were full of blood.

  The gate was closed and the footsteps of the two Miao people grew fainter and fainter until they could no longer be heard.

  Is being greedy also considered a sin? I haven't done anything wrong in my life, so why should I end up dying with seven holes bleeding?

  "When a man dies, he must face the sky." I used my last strength to turn over and lay on my back, quietly waiting for death. According to the legend in the mountains, after a person dies, their soul will return to the mountains, so I'm not afraid of death, but thinking that I haven't earned enough money yet, I feel like I haven't lived enough.

  I thought I was going to get rich and escape poverty, but in the end, it was ruined by a few small bugs. For a moment, I felt really stifled.

  It wasn't long before I felt a cool breeze blowing in from outside, and I knew the door had been opened again. Someone walked in from outside.

  "Listen up, kid. I told you before, when dealing with the Miao people, you gotta be careful. Look at all that blood splattered everywhere! How much meat do we need to eat to make up for this?"

  At this time, I was already unable to see anything due to excessive blood loss, but I could still hear sounds.

  It was the old fortune teller who came in.

  "Do you want me to save you? Then you have to be my apprentice, not only provide for my food and drink, but also support me in my old age until I die." The old man squatted beside me, whispering into my ear.

  "Agree and knock on the brick."

  I was speechless at the time, otherwise I would have definitely cursed loudly.

  This old man is not thinking of taking me as his apprentice, but rather wants to be my father. Am I someone who has no backbone?

  I cursed in my heart, but still patted the floor with my hand.
