Wen Rulan and Chu Zhongxi followed the carriage on horseback. When they heard the laughter coming from the carriage, their tense moods relaxed a little.

Chu Zhongxi said: "It seems that my little sister is in good condition at this time."

Wen Rulan nodded, "When the Gu is not acting up, Chuchu is just like usual, with no discomfort, but once it acts up, it looks like she is living a life worse than death."

Chu Zhongxi said bitterly: "This Zhuoma is so abominable. My younger sister went to report to him, but he killed her. He has no moral principles at all."

"Yes, we took every precaution, but still failed to prevent it. It was also because we did not understand witchcraft, so we suffered a loss."

Wen Rulan was also very depressed. He followed Chu Yunxi into the mansion, but something happened to Chu Yunxi. He even wanted to kill Zhuoma.

"I hope Mr. He can remove the poison from my little sister's body." Chu Zhongxi sighed.

Mr. He is the old man they are looking for on this trip.

Jumu Mountain is located in the central and western part of southern Xinjiang. There is a village at the foot of the mountain called Jumu Village. There are only twenty or so households in the village. Most of the families are elderly and women. The young men either went to the battlefield or went to nearby towns to earn money, so there are usually very few people here.

As soon as Xiao Mubei got off the car, he felt that this place was very familiar. Chu Zhongxi walked up to him and pointed to the two mountains in the south and said, "That's where we were attacked."

So this is the place. No wonder it looks so familiar. Xiao Mubei asked, "Then the place where my second brother recovered from his injuries was this village?"

Chu Zhongxi nodded. "Yes, it was an old couple in the village who made a living by cutting firewood who saved me. I wanted to come and see them when I came back to Southern Xinjiang this time."

Chu Yunxi also came over and said, "Then we'll go there later. I want to thank the two elders very much. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have a second brother."

"it is good."

Chu Zhongxi was also eager to meet his savior, so the group rested for a quarter of an hour and then continued on their journey, arriving at Jumu Village soon.

As soon as he entered the village, Chu Zhongxi went straight to the two woodsheds at the east end of the village. When he reached the door, he shouted, "Father Weng, Aunt Weng, I'm back."

The two old people staggered out. When they saw Chu Zhongxi, they were as happy as children. They pulled Chu Zhongxi up and down and looked him up. Aunt Weng cried with joy: "How come you have been gone for so long and haven't come back? We are so worried about you, my child."

"Aunt Weng, I'm back now. How are you two, elders?" Chu Zhongxi helped Aunt Weng sit down at the door, and asked Father Weng to sit down as well.

"Okay, okay, we are all fine." Aunt Weng only saw the people behind Chu Zhongxi at this time and asked, "Child, who are these people..."

Chu Zhongxi hurriedly pulled Chu Yunxi over, "Aunt Weng, this is my little sister, her name is Chu Yunxi."

Chu Yunxi stepped forward and squatted in front of Aunt Weng. "Aunt Weng, thank you for saving my second brother. From now on, you can treat me and my second brother as your children. If there is anything, please send a letter to me and my second brother. We will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation."

Aunt Weng held Chu Yunxi's hand and said, "Look how pretty this girl is. Yunxi, we have been childless all our lives. It's worth it to have a pair of children like you in our old age. You should come back more often in the future."

"Definitely." Chu Yunxi pulled Xiao Mubei over and introduced him to Father and Aunt Weng, but did not mention his identity as King Dingbei. She only said that he was her husband, and Wen Rulan was her senior brother.

With so many people coming all of a sudden, the old couple were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. The house had never been so lively before. They were busy taking out all the delicious food at home, but were stopped by Chu Yunxi. She asked Hongyu and Qingmei to bring down a lot of delicious food from the carriage and made a sumptuous lunch in Aunt Weng's kitchen.

After finishing lunch and cleaning up, Chu Zhongxi said to his father and aunt Weng, "I came back today because of one more thing. Yunxi was poisoned by someone, and I want to find Mr. He to cure her."

People in southern Xinjiang are naturally familiar with Gu. Aunt Weng was shocked when she heard this. She hurriedly pulled Chu Yunxi to take a closer look and asked, "How long have you been poisoned?"

"About ten days."

Chu Yunxi was not sure exactly when she was infected, but there was no doubt that she was infected by Zhuoma.

Aunt Weng breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not bad. The poison hasn't lasted too long. It shouldn't be too difficult to cure. If it had lasted too long, I'm afraid it would have been more troublesome."

"Why does it become troublesome if it takes a long time?" Chu Yunxi wanted to know more about witchcraft.

Aunt Weng explained: "After the Gu worm enters the body, it also needs time to adapt to the host. If the adaptation is not good at the beginning, it will be easily lured out. If time passes and the adaptation is very good, then it will be difficult to separate the Gu worm and the host. Unless the host dies, the Gu worm will not come out easily."

"I see." Chu Yunxi was a little worried. It had been nearly ten days. Every time she thought about the bugs in her body, she felt itchy all over and couldn't wait to get it out.

Aunt Weng stood up and said to Father Weng, "Old man, take your liquor and let's go find Old He. No matter what, we have to get him to remove the poison from our daughter."

Father Weng responded, went into the house and fumbled for a while, then came out with a wine gourd, "Don't bring so many people. Zhongxi saved Lao He before, so just stay with Yunxi. The others can just wait here. Lao He doesn't like crowds."

Xiao Mubei grabbed Chu Yunxi's hand and said, "Father Weng, let me go. I am worried about Yunxi."

Father Weng looked at the two people holding hands, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay, just the three of you, the others don't have to go. Old woman, you stay home to entertain the guests, and I'll take them there."

Aunt Weng agreed, and Chu Yunxi and the other two followed Father Weng to the west end of the village. On the way, Aunt Weng said to Chu Yunxi, "Don't think about anything later. Just do whatever Old He tells you to do."

Chu Yunxi nodded, and seeing the confident look on Father Weng's face, she felt relieved. It seemed that this old man He was indeed quite accomplished in the art of witchcraft.

There are also two woodsheds in Mr. He's house, but Mr. He lives alone. Because he likes quietness, his house is a bit far away from other houses in the village.

When they reached the door, Father Weng shouted in a loud voice, "Lao He, your savior is here."

An old man with a cane walked out of the room quickly. When he saw Chu Zhongxi, he immediately smiled. He didn't even look at Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei, nor at Father Weng. He only greeted Chu Zhongxi, "General Chu, you're here."

Chu Zhongxi stepped forward and asked, "Mr. He, how are you feeling lately?"

"Okay, I'm fine. You've been away from the old man for so long and I was worried about you. Is everything okay?"

"I'm fine, Mr. He. It's just that my little sister was accidentally poisoned by a Gu. So I brought her here today. I want Mr. He to help see if there is any way to remove the Gu from her body."
