"Is it that serious?" I looked at Dani with disbelief.
"Gu worms are the most spiritual. Only by being in tune with their master can they be used by him. Gu worms work hard for their masters, and if they betray them, they will naturally suffer retribution." Dani said.
After chatting for a while, Dani suddenly said to me and Yi Ba: "It's almost time, you two hurry up and follow the green girl to have a look!"
What Dani said As soon as she finished speaking, the green girl swam out of her sleeves, followed her body, and crawled to the ground.
No matter what, this green girl is a snake! After it crawled in front of me, to be honest, I was still a little bit embarrassed.
"Green girl, tell him that you won't bite him."
Seeing that I was a little scared, Dani said this to the little guy.
The green girl swam toward me, raised her little head, and spit out the message at me.
“What is it talking about?” I asked Dani.
“Say it promises not to bite you, so you can follow it without any worries.” Dani said.
The green girl headed out the door, and Yi Ba and I quickly followed. This little thing was originally very small, and it ran very fast and specialized in getting into corners. Yi Ba and I lost track of it not long after we went out.
“Where have you gone?” I asked Yi Ba.
Yi Ba gave me a very blank look and said: "You ask me, who am I going to ask? That thing disappeared in a flash, how could I know where it went?"
"What should I do?" Just when I asked this question, a green little guy appeared on the beam in front of me. Isn't that the green girl?
This little thing is really naughty.
After climbing to the beam under the eaves of the mugwort hall, the green girl stopped.
Ai Caotang is a medicine shop. Its owner is Hong Kezhang. He is known to the outside world as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, but he rarely shows up. On weekdays, the door of the Wormwood Hall is basically closed and rarely opened. Although he claims to be a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, I have never seen anyone go to Hong Kezhang for medical treatment.
Guquan Old Street is quite strange here. There are several shops like Ai Cao Tang that are not open on weekdays, so I didn’t pay much attention to them before.
The green girl stopped here at the Wormwood Hall. Does this mean that the Gu Master hiding in the dark is probably Hong Kezhang?
No, the green girl is missing. Did she run in? The door is closed, but it can run in from the beams. Yi Ba and I can't get in!
"Is something going to happen to that guy?" I asked Yi Ba worriedly.
"Don't underestimate that guy, he is smart! Now that we have figured out who the Gu Master is, let's go back and talk to Dani! As for the green girl, she should be able to find her way back." Yi Eight said.
Yi Ba and I ran back quickly. When we returned to Yiba Pavilion, the green girl had actually returned to Dani's hands.
"How can it be faster than us?" I looked at Dani speechlessly.
"Slower than you, can it survive until now?" Dani replied, and then asked: "What is the store that the green girl went to just now?"
"It is claimed that he sells medicine. The owner is Hong Kezhang, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. However, I have been coming to Guquan Old Street for so long and I have never seen him treating anyone. Also, Hong Kezhang rarely shows up at the gate of the Wormwood Hall. "It's basically closed." I briefly explained the situation to Dani.
“I wonder what other poisonous insects Hong Kezhang has in his hands?” Dani looked at me and Yi Ba and said, “The poisonous snake was killed, and he wouldn’t let it go. Yes, we will definitely take action again."
"You mean, we have to strike first?" I asked.
"The fight against Gu has always been about the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind! It is easy to expose flaws by attacking first, and you will be attacked by a sneak attack." Dani said.
"You are an expert in fighting Gu, and we listen to you." I said.
"In the coming period, I have to live here. You have to help me tidy up this bedroom. All the quilts and other things have to be replaced with new ones." Dani said.
“No problem.”
Dani has helped us so much, it’s only right to get her a new quilt! The room she wants to live in is the master bedroom. That guy Yi Ba has slept in it. No matter what, he can't let the girl use the quilt that Yi Ba has slept on!
When we moved to the new store, Yi Ba and I went to buy a lot of quilts and stuff. After Dani made the request, I quickly went to the cabinet and took out the new quilt for her.
"What if another snake comes at night?" I asked Dani.
"You two live in the same house! I will leave the green girl at your place and let her protect you." Dani said.
I originally slept in the same bed as Yi Ba, but because of the harassment from those broken snakes, I had to squeeze into the same bed with him. Although there was a green girl guarding me, I still felt a little uneasy thinking about the possibility of snakes coming.
I rolled over and over in bed all night, never daring to fall asleep. It wasn't until dawn that I closed my eyes and slept for a while.
Dani can’t be seen in public, so we have to pack food and other things for her.
In the afternoon, Yi Ba was sitting in the shop drinking tea when Sister Shaoyao came to the door with a smile.
"Are you all here?" As soon as we entered the door, Sister Shaoyao greeted us enthusiastically.
"Sister Shaoyao is here. Do you have anything to teach me?" I asked Sister Shaoyao with a smile.
“I don’t take advice seriously, I’m just curious, how did you kill that snake last night?”
Sister Shaoyao really came with a mission! As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked us how we killed the snake. I definitely can’t tell her the truth!
“I didn’t do much, I just grabbed a stick and knocked it on the snake’s head, killing it immediately.” I said seriously.
"Knocked to death with a stick?" Sister Shaoyao looked at me with disbelief and asked, "Then why did the snake lose all its blood after it died?"
"I don't think so. Got it." I pretended to be confused.
“There are teeth marks on the snake’s neck, which were bitten by the snake’s venomous fangs.” Sister Shaoyao laughed coldly twice and said, “You guys went out a few days ago, did you ask for a seat? Is the Gu Master back? Although Guquan Old Street is a ghost market, it can’t be hidden. Gu masters are not allowed to come here."
"What are you talking about, why can't I understand a word?" When I didn't know how to answer, I finally asked. There are only two good answers, and that is to pretend.
"Sister Shaoyao, are you a Gu Master? Otherwise, how do you know that the cobra was bitten to death by a snake, and why do you still suspect that we have a Gu Master here?" Yi Ba questioned Sister Shaoyao.
"Don't throw dirty water on me, I never keep poisonous insects." Sister Shaoyao quickly denied it.
The Gu Master profession is unpopular in many places because it is too insidious and vicious. Sister Shaoyao said that there may be a rule in Guquan Old Street not to allow Gu masters to enter. Otherwise, why is that guy Hong Kezhang so low-key, always keeping the door closed, and never showing up?
"Sister Shaoyao, I'm not sure whether you keep voodoos or not, but there is definitely someone who secretly raises voodoos on Guquan Old Street. And that person is not an outsider, he is already operating here. "It's been a long time." Ba smiled and said: "There are some things that you and I just need to know. If they are publicized, it will not be good for both of us."
"From your tone, it sounds like you are threatening. Me?" Sister Shaoyao asked.
“It’s not a threat, it’s a negotiation.” Yi Ba paused and said, “People don’t speak secretly. Since Sister Shaoyao is here today, let’s make it clear. Run to a room The snakes that Ba Ge came to cause trouble are not wild snakes. Since they are poisonous snakes, they must be raised by humans. We have already found out where they came from. We have Uncle Duan backing us, and there are people behind us. We are here to do business in Guquan Old Street, not to fight Gu." "I know you have Uncle Qian behind you, since you have already found out about the Gu snake. If you know the source, go to Uncle Qian and report the person you found!" From what Sister Shaoyao said, it seems that she is unwilling to accept the offer!
