Chapter 359 The Stream Contains Gu Insects
Seeing that Amuyi was about to tell her about his situation, He Miaomiao found a chair and moved to sit down next to him.
I grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started peeling them while listening to his story.
Amuyi didn't mind, but moved the stool to the side so that He Miaomiao could sit more comfortably.
She then talked to Song Zhili and the others about the unusual things about herself.
"Sister, before I tell you, I want to ask if that brother had previously gone to the woods outside our village and drunk the water there?"
The Gu poison in that older brother's body looked very much like the Gu worms in the stream outside our forest.
Upon hearing Amuyi's words, Song Zhili and He Miaomiao immediately recalled the forest Qingfeng had mentioned earlier. Could it be the forest outside Amuyi's village?
What a coincidence! If the forest they're looking for is really the one Amuyi is talking about, that would be wonderful.
They no longer need to go to great lengths to search.
"We're not sure if Qingfeng drank the water from the stream outside your village, but he did drink water from a forest, which is why he's like this now."
"Is that forest shrouded in white mist that lingers for so long? There is indeed a stream in that forest, but although the water is crystal clear, there isn't a single fish in it. Didn't he notice that?"
Amuyi had suspected this when he saw Qingfeng's symptoms, and now that he heard Song Zhili say this, he was certain that Qingfeng had gone to the forest outside their village.
The woods outside their village were indeed shrouded in white mist, which was created by their village chief to prevent outsiders from finding their village.
The stream outside the village is also unusual; the water in that stream is undrinkable, a fact that everyone in the village has known since childhood.
The village chief also tampered with the stream outside the village; if any outsider drinks the water from this stream, the venomous insects in the water will enter their bodies through their mouths.
They will gradually become crazy and eventually become mentally impaired. They will suffer excruciating pain every full moon night, become irritable and easily angered, and want to bite people or harm themselves.
Having thought of this, Amu explained the situation to Song Zhili, He Miaomiao, and the others.
Song Zhili and He Miaomiao showed lingering fear. Fortunately, they did not rush in. Otherwise, even if Song Zhili had a spatial ability, she might not have been able to escape unscathed.
After all, Song Zhili didn't know much about this Gu poison. If their people were to fall for it again, she might not know what to do.
Seeing Song Zhili's expression change drastically, Amuyi reassured her, "Sister, you don't need to worry too much. The Gu worm in that brother's body will fall into a deep sleep after drinking my blood, and he won't cause any trouble in the near future."
Amui tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said again, "Since you saved me, as a way of repaying you, I will take you back and let Grandpa Village Chief remove the curse from that brother."
Amuyi hadn't had enough fun outside and didn't want to go back so soon, but he didn't think Song Zhili and the others were bad people. Especially Qingfeng, who had been cursed. To repay them for saving him, he thought it over and over and finally decided to bring them back to the village.
When Song Zhili heard that Amuyi had agreed to take them back to his village, her face lit up with joy. It would be wonderful if he could take them there.
Firstly, they were curious about that village and wanted to go and take a look. Secondly, Qingfeng had said that Cui Xiaoliu had disappeared there, so they could go to that village to search and see if they could find Cui Xiaoliu.
Thinking of this, Song Zhili walked to the side and, using He Chengjing as cover, took out a photo of Cui Xiaoliu from her spatial storage, then placed it in front of Amuyi and pointed to the person in the photo.
“Amuyi, look at this person. Have you seen him in your village before? He was with that brother. He disappeared in the woods outside your village.”
Amu took the photo from Song Zhili's hand and looked at it carefully. After looking at it, his eyes widened and he pointed at the photo and exclaimed in surprise.
"The brother in this picture looks just like me! But I've never seen him in my village. If I had, I would definitely remember him."
As Amuyi spoke, she returned the photo to Song Zhili, and after thinking carefully for a moment, she confirmed that she had never seen this person before.
Song Zhili also thought Amuyi's words made sense; he would definitely recognize him if he saw him. However, she also found it strange that Cui Xiaoliu hadn't gone to their village. Where could he have gone? Could it be that he, like Qingfeng, had been rescued by someone else?
He shook his head, dismissing the idea. It wasn't a problem to think about right now; he could just ask around in their village later.
"By the way, Amuyi, why can your blood suppress this Gu poison? Is your blood effective against all Gu worms, or is it only effective against the Gu in Qingfeng's body?"
When Amu heard Song Zhili ask the question again, since he had already decided to trust Song Zhili and the others, he stopped hesitating and revealed his secret.
“The blood in my body has always been different from that of ordinary people. It has been like this since I was a child. People in our village raise Gu worms. Once, my father discovered that the Gu worms in my body could suppress them.”
Overjoyed, he took me to find the village chief to ask him what had happened.
Later, the village chief searched through all the medical books and ancient texts, but he couldn't find any cases like mine.
Unfortunately, my father and mother specifically instructed me to stay in the village and not to leave, and also not to tell anyone about my secret.
After hearing what Amuyi said, Song Zhili also found it extremely strange. She never expected that there would be such a strange person in this world.
But upon closer reflection, she didn't find it particularly strange. She had managed to travel here and even had her own space; who could be more unusual than her?
"Then why did you run away secretly? Didn't your father and the village chief send anyone to look for you?"
Amuyi lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look up at Song Zhili, and muttered softly.
"I heard from others that life outside is much better than in the village, so I really wanted to go out and see what it's like."
But no matter how much I begged my parents to take me out to play, they refused, so I thought I'd sneak out on my own.
I just didn't expect that buying anything outside would require silver and copper coins, and I didn't have any of those things on me when I came out.
Then I saw some children dressed in tattered clothes begging for food by holding a broken bowl on both sides of the road. So I followed suit and found a broken bowl and did the same.
I was thinking of getting some food, but unexpectedly, my old ailment flared up, and I suddenly fainted. When I woke up again, I saw my two older sisters.
