Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death
Chapter 707 Gu Insect 4
Their carriage traveled another hundred kilometers along the same route until it reached the vicinity of a town. The coachman stopped the carriage, weighed ten taels of silver in his hand, and realized that this was extra silver that Yao Feiran had given him.
"I don't know why that lady took a boat halfway through. Anyway, she told me to stop here. Someone will probably come and take the carriage away. It's none of my business anymore. I even got ten taels of silver for free."
The coachman abandoned the carriage and darted down a side road towards the town.
Three hours later, a group of people appeared beside the carriage.
"They weren't in the carriage."
"They must have changed trains along the way."
"They've probably already gone far enough away, it's too late."
"Go back and report to the Lord."
Yao Feiran took a fishing boat, then a carriage, and then changed boats again, arriving at Wanxi County without stopping.
As they disembarked from the carriage, Yan Yueyi whispered, "Mother, is someone chasing us? Is it my eldest brother?"
"Your older brother isn't that capable yet. The people chasing us are people we can't afford to offend. You don't need to worry about that for now."
Yao Feiran didn't know why the emperor hated the Marquis's mansion. It was probably because the original owner's father had offended him. Now she had no clue, and the dynasty's fortune was quite good. If the country was stable and the people were healthy, she didn't need to overthrow the entire country.
However, this matter still needs to be resolved.
The other party wanted to wipe out the Yan family.
She guessed that the reason they didn't act directly was because the Yan family had people watching them in the capital, and Yan Wenmo was too useless. As long as no capable person emerged in the Yan family, the Yan family would eventually be driven to ruin, and she could watch them struggle and make a fool of themselves.
Now that Yao Feiran has led them away from the capital and out of control, there is a danger warning.
Although the Yan family's ancestral home is in Wanxi County, the people there are no longer familiar with them. The original owner's father-in-law was also from a peasant background and later settled in the capital.
Yao Feiran bought a small house in Wanxi County. She spent only two hundred taels of silver to buy a three-courtyard house and two strong guards. She also had more than four hundred taels of silver left.
We've officially settled down.
Although Wanxi County is a county, the urban area is very small, but the villages are quite large. There is a market and a wide road here, which facilitates trade between the two countries. Women here are less restricted than in the capital. The female generals during the reign of the late emperor came from here.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Yao Feiran opened the door and saw a woman about her age carrying a basket full of large pieces of meat.
It was their neighbor, Tuo Meizhi. She had asked Yan Muyao for help getting him into school.
"There's a big market today, shall we go together?"
The "big market" here refers to the border market, which is held once a month. It's packed with people, mostly herdsmen from Yanqu Kingdom, who can exchange furs, dried meat, and milk.
Yao Feiran smiled and said, "Okay."
Yao Feiran followed Tuo Meizhi to the market. They came to a stall with many bottles and jars. An old man sat there with dark skin, sharp eyes, silver ornaments, and distinctive clothes.
Tuo Meizhi pulled Yao Feiran away: "Hey, don't go near these people. They are the Gu clan, living deep in the old forest. They like to play with insects. I heard that insects are allowed to burrow into their bodies when they are born. Some government officials once thought of eradicating them, but then suddenly gave up."
The Gu tribe plays with insects.
That's a Gu worm.
"Are they from our country?"
"They don't belong to any country, but I heard they saved the emperor of Yanqu Kingdom and were allowed to do business in the market."
Yao Feiran always felt that the fate of the other race was somehow related to theirs, but the connection was too shallow.
After strolling around for a while, Yao Feiran bought some meat and furs and went back. When she passed by, she still went up to Tuo Meizhi, who tried to pull her back but couldn't.
"Grandma, what is this?"
The old woman gave a sinister smile: "Insects, huh?"
"What's the use?"
Seeing her indifferent expression, the old woman's expression changed, and she introduced earnestly, "This is an Ice-Cooling Insect. It can keep you cool in hot weather, or quickly lower the temperature if a child in the house has a fever."
"How do I use it?"
She chuckled sinisterly again: "You can keep her outside, or you can keep her inside your body. You'd better keep her outside, otherwise she can drain your life essence. If she accidentally enters your body, burn this blood wax to draw her out. She can't be exposed to direct sunlight outside; she needs to be placed in this specially made box and stored in a cool place."
Yao Feiran pointed to an old box next to the old woman: "What's this?"
"This is not for sale."
At this moment, a boy dressed in a gray robe walked over. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. "What nonsense are you spouting? You're just sucking my lifeblood and pretending to be a ghost."
He quickly snatched the box and opened it. A jet-black worm flew right towards Tuo Meizhi's face. Yao Feiran caught it with both hands and quickly put it back into the box.
The manifestation of divine consciousness in this world is low, and she barely managed to use her mental power to create a barrier, preventing the insects from touching her skin.
These things happened in the blink of an eye, and by the time it was over, no one present had even realized what was happening.
The old woman carefully opened the box and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the insects inside were unharmed. Her eyes widened in surprise; Yao Feiran hadn't been poisoned at all.
"Thank you, Madam."
The old woman had been poisoned before, so she needed the saliva of black venomous insects to suppress the toxicity. She put it aside as soon as she finished using it.
The black venomous insect is highly poisonous; if it enters the body, it will turn into a pool of blood within seconds.
"It's alright. I'm somewhat interested in Ice Condensation Worms. How much?"
"No money is needed. Consider it payment for helping me. The Ice Condensation Insect is gentle. If you want it to enter your body, you need to nourish it with your essence blood for a period of time so that it won't resist. But if it doesn't like your blood, just bring it over. You can ask me any questions you may have."
"Okay, my name is Yao Feiran. May I ask how you should address me?"
"You can call me Granny You."
"it is good."
Yao Feiran left with the things, and Tuo Meizhi followed, saying, "Thank you so much for earlier, you scared me to death! What did you buy this thing for?"
"I find it quite amazing."
