The useless second daughter of the Hua family

"I don't want it! Let me go!"

Xiaoyu's weak crying was heard from inside the house, and the two people guarding the door looked at each other.

"The high priest should be relieved now."

"He is just worrying too much. This man..."

"hey-hey."

The two of them smiled at each other, both with a lewd look on their faces.

"Let's go! Let's have a drink."

"Is there going to be any problem? How about we wait a little longer?"

"Okay, now that we have the duck in our mouth, how can it fly away? Let's just wait and go to the high priest to claim the reward tomorrow morning."

"Okay, let's go to my house."

Ge Qinglan and a few others sneaked in during the night and hid in the dark. When the two men left, Zhao Xiaowu couldn't wait to rush over and break open the door.

I saw a tall and thin man shackled Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu struggled, with tears and blood mixed on her face, which was very scary.

"I want your life!" Zhao Xiaowu's eyes were red and he rushed towards the man.

Wu Sang was caught off guard and was hit hard by him. He took a few steps back and his back hit the corner of the cabinet behind him. The collision was so severe that he felt his chest suffocate and he fell to the ground without being able to breathe.

Zhao Xiaowu took this opportunity, grabbed the bloody scimitar on the table and attacked him.

"Brother Xiao Wu, stop it!"

Xiaoyu finally came to her senses, and she hurriedly stopped Zhao Xiaowu and explained the current situation to them. During this time, she kept standing in front of Wu Sang, as if to prevent them from attacking again.

Zhao Xiaowu looked embarrassed. He clasped his fists and bowed to Wu Sang, "I was reckless. I am sorry for the offense."

Ge Qinglan looked at Xiuzhu, asking for his opinion with his eyes.

Xiuzhu did not express his opinion. He stepped forward and pulled Xiaoyu apart, treated Wu Sang's injuries, and took the opportunity to examine the bodies of both of them.

Xiaoyu looked anxious and stood by, "Senior Xiuzhu, is Wu Sang okay?"

"Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound." Xiuzhu looked at her, then looked at Zhao Xiaowu beside him, and finally nodded slightly at Ge Qinglan, indicating that he was fine.

Xiaoyu also realized that she was too nervous. She retreated back to Zhao Xiaowu. She had obviously done nothing wrong, but she felt guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

After Xiuzhu bandaged Wu Sang's wound, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"you……"

Wu Sang had seen this expression too many times. Every time the famous doctor the high priest brought back from outside saw him, he would have this expression.

"Thank you, senior. I know my own body well."

He took his hand back, looking like he didn't want to talk anymore. His life was a joke, and he really didn't want to show it to her.

Xiaoyu wanted to ask more questions, but when she saw Zhao Xiaowu, who had an unhappy expression on his face, she swallowed her words back.

Ge Qinglan broke the silence and said, "Okay, let's go back before dawn. Miaomiao must be getting anxious waiting."

When Xiaoyu heard him mention it, she remembered her own daughter. She hurriedly urged everyone to leave without looking back.

Wu Sang sat in the empty room, looking at the scimitar stained with his own blood, which represented that he once protected a woman.

As soon as Xiaoyu saw Hua Miaomiao, she threw herself into her arms and cried, venting all the fear and grievances she had felt that day.

Hua Miaomiao thought something had happened to her and asked her anxiously. Xiaoyu shook her head, thinking that the young lady couldn't see, and she cried again: "It's okay, Xiaoyu just missed the young lady."

On the way back, they had already discussed that they would keep Xiaoyu's poison from Hua Miaomiao. The Ge family had so many magic weapons, and there was also the Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Treasure Pavilion, so there would always be something useful in it. If they set off tomorrow, they should be able to arrive before the poison takes effect next month.

Seeing that everyone had strange expressions and seemed unwilling to say more, Pi Fu understood that there must be something hidden.

"Miaomiao, there's a letter from my brother, saying that he can't handle everything by himself, and he hopes I can go back as soon as possible to help him deal with the Bai family's affairs."

The letter was real, and the intention to deal with the Bai family was real, but he was not in a hurry. If things were slow, they would be smooth. Being too radical would only push the other party to the edge. Ge Qinglan just used this as an excuse to return early.

Hua Miaomiao had no doubts and readily agreed.

It was only an hour or two before dawn, so Pi Fu decided not to sleep. She asked Xiu Zhu to drink with her, and explained what happened in the mountains.

After three rounds of drinking, Pi Fu was a little drunk.

"Why don't you just take that guy with you? Just give him a shot every month and everything will be fine," she said half-jokingly.

"That boy won't live long. Even if we catch him, we'll have to find another way to deal with Xiaoyu after he dies."

"how do you know?"

"Only those with the purest bloodline of the Wu family can coexist with the Gu King, and he is only a collateral descendant. Before he was born, someone planted a Gu worm in his mother's body and used poison on him to suppress the Gu King. Although this method can achieve a delicate balance, it consumes his vitality extremely. His life cycle is shorter than others, so he looks like he is in his twenties even though he is only fourteen or fifteen years old."

"Won't he be old soon?"

"I checked on him before, and his aging speed seems to have slowed down. Someone must have used some method. However, injuries can cause loss of blood and essence, and severely damage vitality. I wonder how he is doing now."

Pi Fu looked at the corner of the corridor not far away, then turned her gaze back to Xiuzhu's face, somewhat puzzled.

"She's gone. You did that on purpose, didn't you? Tell me why?"

"That's a poor kid. I just don't want his efforts to go unnoticed."

"Xiuzhu, I never knew you were such a kind person."

It is rare for a hollow bamboo to care about the people around it, so how can you expect it to have mercy on strangers?

And his understanding of Gu also surprised her. The demon race didn't have the concept of Gu, so she couldn't think of a solution for a while. But Xiuzhu seemed to know a lot more than she thought.

"Why do you know so much?"

"I just happened to be there when the child was born."

"Have you been here before?"

"No, it's in a shabby hut."

"cottage?"

Xiuzhu recalled and told Pifu about what he had seen.

At that time, he was seriously injured and recuperating in an abandoned hut in the mountains. Two men came in with a pregnant woman who was about to give birth.

Fortunately, Xiuzhu had set up a barrier in advance, so the other party did not notice his presence.

The man was a descendant of a Wu family. The family was besieged by the imperial court, the main family was lost, and without a backbone, the people in the family were defeated. In order to revive the family, the man planted the Gu King in his wife. When the child was born, his wife was already dead. The man also fed the child a deadly poison to achieve a balance with the Gu King. Afterwards, the man gave the child to his wife's younger brother, asking him to take the child back to rally morale, and he followed his wife.

To this day, Xiuzhu feels moved whenever he recalls the determined look in the eyes of the couple before they died.
