The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

"senior."

The little old man had just kicked Wen Jiu and Zhou Lingran away when Lu Xu came out of the darkness and stopped in front of him.

He stared at Lu Xu for a while, a bit of relief flashed in his eyes.

The night was getting dark, and Lu Xu had not yet had time to investigate further.

"They're all gone, what's the matter with you?"

Lu Xu slightly cupped his hands: "Thank you, senior, for helping me."

The little old man shook his hand: "If you say this, you should go back earlier."

"Senior, since you can solve this poison, you must know what kind of poison it is."

Lu Xu's tone was affirmative, but that was not what he wanted to ask: "The Gu breeding room in the wilderness seems to be in a remote location, but it is not unattended. Although the junior did not enter the Gu raising room, the junior knows that the Gu breeding room in Southern Xinjiang is not unattended. Insects, if carefully raised, will never fend for themselves.”

When facing Lu Xu, the witch doctor was not as impatient as he was with Wen Jiu and Zhou Lingran. He replied with a little relief in his tone: "Young Master, I was entrusted to save your friend, and it was also because of... you ...We are new here. As for where this Gu came from, it has little to do with you. Just do your own thing. The sacrificial ceremony is coming soon. Don’t forget the purpose of this trip, sir.”

The purpose of this trip?

Lu Xu frowned slightly. Is this person...really the witch doctor here?

Why does he always feel a little weird?

"Lu Xu? Why are you here?"

Wen Jiu, who had just left, came back, and she felt uneasy, so she still wanted to ask the witch doctor for details.

"Why are you back again?"

When the little old man saw Wen Jiu, his expression suddenly changed: "You don't need to rest, so don't I need to rest too?"

Since Wen Jiu chose to come back to him, he was naturally prepared to be scolded: "Senior... I have one more thing to ask... Do you know about the Heart-Eating Gu?"

The old man's expression remained unchanged: "You can pick up anyone here and ask the Heart-Eating Gu, so why bother asking me."

"There are only a few households that raise heart-eating Gu, and everyone knows about it."

Wen Jiu knows all this, but the question is who cast the poison?

An idea flashed in her mind: "Senior, there shouldn't be many people who need to use the Heart-Eating Gu to kill. You have been here for many years, do you know who needs to use this Gu?"

The old man glanced at Wen Jiu suspiciously and said with displeasure: "As the girl can see, I haven't even taken a step out of this shantytown. I'm afraid I'm not as clear about the things outside as the girl."

"As for those who are immune to all kinds of poisons, since they are immune to all kinds of poisons, they naturally don't need to look for me. How can I know that?"

Wen Jiu saw that there was no flaw in his words. No matter how doubtful he was, he couldn't ask more questions...

This little old man either doesn't want to say...or he really doesn't know.

She prefers the former.

On the way back, the two of them walked side by side on the cold streets, and the moon had already set in the sky.

It was quiet everywhere, only the breathing of the two people could be heard.

Wen Jiu couldn't hold it in any longer. Seeing that Lu Xu didn't speak, he said, "Thank you for the tea."

Lu Xu's eyebrows were a little tired, and his eyes were gleaming: "One person has already fallen down, I can't let you lie down too."

Wen Jiu had a smile on his face. Lu Xu seemed to have changed a lot since coming to southern Xinjiang. Unlike in Beijing, when he put on the Feiyu suit, he was the selfless Lu Shensi.

Everyone is afraid of him, he is inhumane, but no one dares to do anything to him.

She remembered that Lu Xu seemed to be asking something just now.

"Did you ask that little old man just now?"

"Yes, but I want to know who cast these poisons. We are still in the open, and those people are in the dark."

Once they are ready to take action, they may not even know how they died.

Hard to guard against. And this old witch doctor... seems to know his purpose of coming very well. He is hiding in the city. He is probably hiding in such a place to avoid something.

It's probably not that he doesn't want to go out to save people, but that he can't or doesn't dare to go out.

Early the next morning, Wen Jiu came to Ye Ziheng's room and saw him lying on the bed with a peaceful face, and his face looked much better than yesterday.

It seems that all the poisonous insects in the body have been forced out.

Just how he got the poison and who the person who poisoned him is probably only known until Ye Ziheng wakes up.

Wen Jiu said to himself: "Brother, the sacrifice is coming soon. If you don't wake up in time, then..."

There were footsteps at the door, it was Zhou Lingran.

"Senior sister?" As soon as Zhou Liaoran opened the door, he saw Wen Jiu moving a stool and sitting next to Ye Ziheng.

He put the medicine down and waited for it to cool down a bit.

Seeing Zhou Lingran come in, Wen Jiu smiled: "I didn't expect that our little ten would grow up one day, and now we all know how to take care of our senior brothers."

The refreshing young man scratched his head in embarrassment: "Senior sister feels that I have never grown up. Isn't it because I am a junior brother? Among the ten apprentices of the master, I am the youngest, so senior sister always feels that I cannot grow up..."

Wen Jiu lowered his eyes and said nothing, it seemed that this was really the case.

Therefore, others always rush to the front in dangerous places. Just like this time, the most bizarre place was also the senior brother, and the only one who was injured was the senior brother.

Zhou Lingran saw that Wen hadn't spoken for a long time and said seriously: "Speaking of some things, maybe senior sister doesn't know as much as I do."

Wen Jiu's face was full of dissatisfaction before he praised. This little junior fellow climbed up the pole?

She clicked her tongue: "Tell me, what are the things you know that I don't know?"

Zhou Lingran pulled up the stool and sat next to Wen Jiu: "Senior sister, Mr. Lu likes you."

With a bang, Wen Jiu's mind exploded into a ball.

She opened her mouth and lost a few words: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Wen Jiu even heard that his own voice had no confidence.

Zhou Lingran seemed to have stepped on Wen Jiu's tail, with pride written all over his face.

"Sister, I said you don't know."

It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I don’t really want to know.

I don’t know why I don’t really want to know…

Maybe she felt that all her secrets were exposed in front of him, and she regarded him as a friend to whom she talked about everything.

Or maybe I liked Chen Shu, and even though I was engaged to him, I still begged him to terminate the engagement every day.

It might also be because if he and Lu Xu were together, he might be trapped in the capital forever.

Will it happen?

It turns out that if she and Lu Xu can get together one day, it will be a matter of course.

Wen Jiu quickly calmed down and denied, "Xiao Shi, it's not that I don't know, it's that you are talking nonsense and you guessed wrong."

Zhou Lingran looked puzzled: "Impossible. If I hadn't liked you, Mr. Lu would have cared about you even more than my senior brother and I. How could an ordinary friend do this to such an extent?"

Wen Jiu smiled disapprovingly: "Do you know the Tongsheng Talisman?"

Zhou Mingran nodded.

"Master Lu and I both have this talisman on us. He is concerned about my safety because he is worried about himself. If you think about it this way, you think it is reasonable."
