I can't be a cannon fodder

Huo Zhourong supported Xiao Xingxing, Xiao Xingxing leaned in his arms and shook his head to show that it was okay, because she lowered her head, no one saw her eyes light up just now.

"Ah Cai!" My aunt yelled, and then apologized to Xiao Xingxing, "Are you okay? I'm spoiled by this child."

"It's okay." Just as Xiao Xingxing finished speaking, he heard a faint voice from a man behind him.

"Why do you call people in their 20s children here?" His words stunned my aunt for a moment, and then she laughed again, "The children here are relatively simple and late mature, unlike the young girls in your city. understand everything."

Xiao Xingxing's eyes flickered, it was ironic without concealment!
If it was someone else, I probably wouldn't speak.But who is Huo Zhourong?Since he took over Huo's until now, no one dared to treat him with this attitude.Of course, except for Xiao Xingxing.

So Huo Zhourong didn't care that this was in someone else's territory, raised his eyelids and said, "It's pure if it sounds good, but it's mentally retarded if it doesn't sound good."

Everyone: "..."

"Don't you have breakfast?" The fourth brother came out to chat, "Auntie, where should we eat?"

Auntie glanced at Huo Zhourong, then looked away: "Go to the gazebo in the yard to eat, come with me, it's ready."

Xiao Xingxing thought that breakfast should be rice noodles, glutinous rice cakes, etc., but it turned out to be fried eggs, sandwiches and salads.The expressions of several people were a little weird, the fourth brother was afraid of what Huo Zhourong would say, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Auntie, look, this breakfast is no different from the one in the city! We are still keeping pace with the times."

My aunt is still wearing a white cotton dress today, with her long hair draped behind her head, looking indifferent to fame and wealth.Hearing what the four said, the smile on his face became brighter, as if he was very proud.

"We have a girl who likes to cook. I learned it from TV. Although I live in the deep mountains and old forests, I hope that the living standards of the people in the clan can be better."

How can this be better, this is too good...

Halfway through the meal, my aunt said again: "Yesterday you said you wanted to find medicinal materials, and I already had people pick them up, but you will only know if you have to try them. Can patients not come?"

"Do you need him to come over?" Xiao Xingxing asked, "We still hide his condition from him, fearing that he won't be able to bear it if he finds out. Besides, we don't know where he went to play recently, and we can't contact anyone."

My aunt was a little surprised: "He can still play around after he's like this?"

"That's right! He doesn't have any symptoms. If it wasn't detected during the physical examination, we wouldn't know."

Bai Ying, who was sitting across from him, answered, "Well, it's the same as my previous neighbors, it's not painful or itchy, and it's late when I found out, and I'll be gone in less than three months."

The aunt was silent for a while: "Then you can only take the medicinal materials back and show him to eat, and bring him back if there is any effect."

"Thank you." Huo Zhourong was very generous this time, "If you can cure my brother, you can give me as much money as you want."

The aunt's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "I see that Mr. Huo is a person of status, but it is really unnecessary. Those medicinal materials are naturally raised on the mountain. How dare I take credit for it. I only hope that it can really help your brother." .”

"Auntie, your village is so remote, don't you usually go out?" Xiao Xingxing pretended to be chatting, "Also, I heard that there are only women and no men in our village, is it true?"

My aunt was about to drink coffee, but she put it down and nodded after hearing the words: "Well, our village has only been inhabited by women since ancient times."

"But I heard the baby crying yesterday, can't the father of the child live here?"

The aunt looked at her: "The direction of your yard is not close to where the baby lives, how did you hear that?"

"We heard it when we were walking around the village last night." Xiao Xingxing said without changing his face, "At first I thought I heard it wrong, it seems that there is more than one baby!"

The aunt smiled: "There are four babies, and the father of the children has left. We are a matrilineal clan, and men cannot be kept in the village."

"It's different from Lugu Lake!" Xiao Xingxing continued to ask in a gossip tone, "There are men all over there."

"They are walking marriages, which are different from us." Auntie took a sip of coffee, "We have never had any men in our village, even if they give birth to a boy, they will send them out."

White Eagle screamed: "Send it away? That's too pitiful, is the child's mother willing?"

"She has known since she was a child, so naturally there is nothing she doesn't want to do." The aunt said flatly, "Of course there are, so she doesn't have children, so as not to be unbearable when she can."

After finishing speaking, she stood up: "I'm going to prepare to distribute the medicinal materials for you. If you have nothing to do, you can go around the village." After she finished speaking, she looked at the men jokingly, "It's okay if a girl throws a purse for you. Don't want it, if you want it, you will stay and be your son-in-law."

Xiao Xingxing: That idiot Huo Xingye definitely wants it...

"Huo Xingye is with that girl named A Cai!" Xiao Xingxing said as soon as they entered their own courtyard.

Fourth brother and Bai Ying didn't know, so: "How did Mrs. Huo make sure?"

"I smell Huo Xingye's perfume." Xiao Xingxing affirmed, "It's on that A Cai."

Fourth brother and Bai Ying looked at each other, clearly not believing it.

Only Huo Zhourong nodded: "It seems that he is not dead yet."

Fourth brother: "...Mr. Huo, is Mrs. Huo so sure?"

"My wife's nose is very powerful." Huo Zhourong said, "Her nose was kissed by God. She is a genius perfumer. Fourth brother can check it out online."

Why did you suddenly change from aloof to showing off...

The fourth brother twitched his lips: "Well, according to Mrs. Huo, Second Young Master Huo must still be alive."

"Yes! Judging from the volatilization of the perfume, that Ah Cai should have seen us not long after we separated from Huo Xingye."

"Then let's do what we said before, go to the medicinal materials during the day, and White Eagle and I will continue to investigate at night to see if we can find another way."

Huo Zhourong: "I will send the bodyguards to A Cai's house tonight."

Let's meet Huo Xingye first, maybe he knows something that they don't.

However, at night, the bodyguard returned without success.

"There was no one in that yard at all, not a single person."

no one?

Huo Zhourong was silent, could their deduction be wrong?

Fourth Brother and Bai Ying didn't find out either, and...

"I feel something is wrong." The fourth brother said, "The village is too quiet tonight."

There were no babies crying, no one talking, not even the chirping of insects, it seemed.

"It can't be that they discovered our identities." Xiao Xingxing grabbed Huo Zhourong's arm, "What should I do? Huo Xingye won't be..."

"Don't worry." Huo Zhourong patted her, "If they really find out our identities, they won't touch Huo Xingye."

Everyone discussed for a long time, but there was no good solution. They could only wait for dawn and take one step at a time.

The breakfast this time was brought by Lan Yingsong and two girls. She still looked lively and lovely, and when she approached Huo Zhourong, she shook her head regrettably.

"You look so good-looking, why did you get married! But...hehehe!"

She didn't say anything later, just looked at Huo Zhou with a smile, then waved to Xiao Xingxing: "Goodbye, beautiful sister!"

Xiao Xingxing felt that what she said just now was weird, and was about to drink the porridge when his nose suddenly moved: "Wait a minute!"

On the opposite side, Bai Ying's spoon was in his mouth, and she almost fed it to his nose when she yelled suddenly.

Huo Zhourong immediately grabbed her hand: "What's wrong?"

"Mrs. Huo, your voice scared me to death." Bai Ying wiped his nose and picked up the bowl to drink.

"Don't drink." Xiao Xingxing's face was not very good-looking, "There is something in this porridge."

The guide, medicine merchant and bodyguard on the other table didn't dare to move. The fourth brother looked serious: "Mrs. Huo, what do you mean?"

Xiao Xingxing took a breath, poured half of the porridge in the bowl on the table, pulled it with chopsticks a few times, and his face turned pale.

"Stars." Huo Zhourong held her waist, "What did you see?"

"You...look." Xiao Xingxing pulled out a few grains of rice, "Look carefully."

Huo Zhourong approached those rice grains, and his pupils closed a few seconds later.Needless to say, the fourth brother, Bai Ying, had already leaned over and stared.Similarly, their expressions changed after a few seconds.

"This... what is it?" Bai Ying jumped up directly.

Huo Zhourong took out a Swiss knife and cut a grain of rice crosswise, but thick yellow water flowed out of it, accompanied by a foul smell.

"Gu worms..." Xiao Xingxing's mind was buzzing, all the scary pictures she found on the Internet before.

Rao, a veteran special soldier like Fourth Brother, was stunned for a moment: "This thing...is there really?"

"The one in front of you." Huo Zhourong took a spoon and filled his bowl of porridge, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the sunlight, a few grains of rice appeared transparent, and there was a small porridge inside. The point is wriggling.

The fourth brother and Bai Ying looked at it, and also went to see their porridge.Then, everyone found that there were several such eggs in everyone's porridge.

"It's terrible! It's terrible!" The medicine merchant hugged his head, "What should I do, they are trying to trick us!"

Although I don't know what the Gu worm is, it doesn't prevent everyone from being afraid of it.Everyone has seen the stories about Gu in movies and novels. After being under Gu, life is almost worse than death.

"Get rid of the porridge first." Huo Zhourong asked the bodyguard to pour all the porridge into the toilet, and then cleaned up the table.

Bai Ying sat down with lingering fear, staring at Xiao Xingxing: "Mrs. Huo, what about other things? Is there any in this rice noodles?"

"No." Xiao Xingxing shook his head, "I just smelled it, only the porridge smelled fishy."

The fourth brother looked at Xiao Xingxing and exclaimed: "It's amazing, how did you smell it?"

He deliberately sniffed it hard, but he could only smell the aroma of rice.

"As I said, my wife has a bad nose." Huo Zhourong said again in a showing off tone.

The fourth brother and Bai Ying didn't care about his showing off, they each meditated, and then raised their heads at the same time.

Xiao Xingxing said almost in unison with them.

"Second Young Master Huo must have been bewitched!"

"Huo Xingye must have been bewitched!"
