Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

"What did you say? He's not sick, he just got heatstroke?" Uncle Liu looked confused. He looked at Zhu Xiaoque who was still in a coma and said in surprise.

"Old man, how can I lie to you? If I had a heat stroke, I would have taken a dose of medicine and I would be alive and kicking now. I wouldn't be like this now."

"What's going on with Xiaoque now? It's impossible that there is no reason at all. It's not a solution to just let him stay in a coma like this." Uncle Liu was anxious and asked eagerly.

"Wait, this wooden bottle." Uncle Wei inadvertently saw the small object hanging on Zhu Xiaoque's waist, and his expression became a little solemn. The wood grain carved on it was not so simple.

Uncle Liu looked puzzled, looked at the small object Uncle Wei pointed at and said, "What's wrong with this bottle? Aren't these small things everywhere in the county market?"

"Is there anything special about this thing?"

Seeing that Uncle Wei's face was not looking good, he also started to get nervous instantly, and quickly pulled it off, as if it was a hot potato. He did not stay in his hand for a moment, and quickly put it in Uncle Wei's hand, anxiously saying: "Hurry up and take a look! What is this?"

“Where did you buy this?”

"No, I picked it up on the way."

Grandpa Liu replied, remembering that some time ago he took the two children Zhu Xiaoque and Liu Yuelai to pull a cart of things to the county town to sell. This little thing was the result of a branch getting stuck on the wheel of the cart halfway on the road. Xiaoque got off the cart and knocked the branch off the wheel, and picked it up from the grass by the roadside. The girl liked the wood grain and small size of the branch very much, and picked it up specifically as a decoration.

It was wondering, what could go wrong with such a small thing?

Uncle Liu thought so and asked the question.

"Of course it's not simple. The wood grain on this bottle is from the Ansi Kingdom." Uncle Wei looked at Uncle Liu who had a confused look on his face and said solemnly.

"From Ansi Country, so what? But it's still strange, how can someone come to such a remote forest and hang out."

The farthest place Uncle Liu has ever been is Lin'an County. He is a genuine farmer, and his best skill is just knowing a few characters. He also knows a little bit about raising chickens. For ordinary people like them, national affairs are not as important as filling their stomachs, so they don't pay much attention to them. In their ears, Ansi Kingdom is just a big country that raises cattle and sheep.

Uncle Wei is different. He is a military doctor who retired from the battlefield. He comes into contact with a wide range of people and naturally knows more than ordinary people.

"Tsk, that's the problem. The people of Ansi country have a unique skill."

Uncle Wei said solemnly, putting the wooden bottle in his hand aside, and said to Uncle Liu: "The people over there are playing with insects. They are the kind of insects that can kill people without anyone noticing. They are very poisonous."

"What! Poisonous insects! You mean there might be insects in this wooden bottle? No, how is that possible? Is this insect so blind? It will drill into any place on this person's body where it can." Uncle Liu cursed angrily. He didn't believe in his heart that there would be any insects in the bottle.

Uncle Wei couldn't be sure either. After practicing medicine for so many years, he was still helpless against things like poisonous insects.

“It’s a Gu.”

The voice of Xuyuan came from outside the door, holding a burning dry vine in his hand. There was a faint foul smell, which instantly made Uncle Wei and Uncle Liu look over.

"Yuan girl, do you know this?" Uncle Liu was a little surprised, his eyes full of expectation, and he didn't react much to the sudden stench.

Even Uncle Wei couldn't help but look forward to it. It's really amazing that this little girl has such ability. It's a pity that she stays in this mountain.

"My mother was fortunate enough to meet a refugee who knew about Gu worms and learned a little from him. Naturally, I know a little bit about it, too."

Anyway, her mother is no longer alive, so whatever she says can't be verified, so she can make up whatever she wants.

She never expected that the man would leave behind something harmful until his death.

The old saying is so true: evil can last for thousands of years.

Fortunately, the bottle was luckily picked up and only caused a disaster for one person, instead of staying in the forest and drying out to become a bigger disaster after it matured too much. The wooden bottle was not within the range of the wishing protection cover, but the fact that it was picked up by someone only means that this thing appeared on a path that everyone has to pass by, not in a remote place.

Gee, that’s really troublesome.

Xu Yuan curled the corners of his mouth, wishing he could go back to that time and search the memories of the others. At that time, he only focused on the biggest leader and didn't care about the minions.

This paragraph did not appear in that person's memory. It seems that the people who followed him did not serve only one master. The relationships between people are really complicated.

"That's great, girl. Look at the little bird and see where the bugs are on its body."

"Well, I came here just to take a look because I heard what Uncle Wang said. Do you smell it?"

Xuyuan nodded, and then passed the burning dry vine in his hand in front of the noses of the two people.

Neither of them noticed anything the first time, but when they got closer, they noticed the strange smell.

"Oh my God, this smell, why does it smell so similar to the bugs on those people that were burned before." Uncle Wei was the first to smell the unique smell during this period.

"Could it be that the bugs that crawled onto the little bird's body were those broken things? Damn it, how could they be so bad?" Uncle Liu said angrily.

"Not necessarily." Xu Yuan shook his head. Now that their method of dealing with them had been discovered, they might not release that kind of insect again. This one might still be in the stage of research and experiment. When it matures, it will break out of the "soil" and catch everyone off guard.

Xu Yuan took a look at the wooden bottle and did not detect any insects, but there were still traces of their existence inside. In short, there was no doubt that there were insects.

Thanks to the timely discovery, a greater disaster was avoided and the trip was not in vain.

Xu Yuan let the two of them go out and closed the door, saying that it was very dangerous. After all, it was his first time doing it. If he accidentally got it out and it got onto Uncle Wei and Uncle Liu, it would be a waste of time.

After half coaxing and half deceiving, she finally pushed the two old men out of the door. This time she had to cut the weeds completely.

The smoke from the burning dry vines drifted onto the unconscious Zhu Xiaoque, and all around was quiet.

The sense of making a wish was amplified, and soon, she heard a rustling and wriggling sound, and finally saw a small bulge on Zhu Xiaoque's right arm. She quickly cut a small incision there, and a small black thing emerged from her wrist and went in the direction of the smoke.

With a "splash", dark red blood splattered onto the bed, he was deader than dead.
