The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Along the way, several people confirmed that this child's behavior today was exactly like how the other children behaved when they disappeared.

It turned out that the child went out by himself, which could explain why the doors and windows of every house were closed and there were no signs of intrusion, but the child still disappeared inexplicably.

And why didn't the dog bark at all when the child was missing? How could the owner of the house bark?

Several people sent the child back to his home. When the child's parents heard about it, they were shocked and scared. The mother's legs went weak and she sat on the ground, hugging the child tightly and refusing to let go.

It took him a long time to react, and he kowtowed and bowed to Lu Xiuyuan and the others, calling them "saviors" over and over again.

A few people exchanged some pleasantries with them, and then suggested that they find a way to wake the child up so that they could question him.

But the couple tried everything they could, shouting, hitting, and even pouring tea on the child's face, but the child didn't react, like a wooden man.

Several people tried to wake the child up for most of the night but failed. Until five o'clock in the morning, they heard a loud rooster crowing outside the door. The child suddenly started awake, as if waking up from a dream, and light instantly appeared in his eyes.

"Little one!" The child's mother noticed the child's reaction and immediately called him nervously.

The child blinked a few times, looked at her in confusion, then looked at the people around him, and asked in a childish voice, "Mom, who are these people? Why are they all in my room?"

Hearing him say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The child's mother comforted him with a few kind words, and then told Lu Xiuyuan to ask him if he had any questions.

Xia Younan was the first to ask him why he went out alone last night and what he did.

The little boy was confused and scratched his head, wondering, "I didn't go out last night. I fell asleep right after dinner and slept until now. I saw you when I woke up."

"This..." Several people looked at each other, but they were not very shocked.

Last night, the child looked as if his mind was controlled by someone. He was completely out of his mind and didn't remember what he had done. This was expected.

But they didn't get anything out of the question, so they were naturally unwilling to give up. Xia Younan asked again, "Little friend, have you met any strangers or encountered any strange things in the past two days?"

The boy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Stranger? The day before yesterday I met an uncle I had never met before. Does that count as a stranger?"

"Of course it counts!" Several people suddenly became interested and asked hurriedly: "What did that strange uncle do to you?"

The boy said: "My parents wouldn't let me go out, so I ran out to play in the yard. While I was playing, I saw a strange uncle's head sticking out from outside the wall. He looked very friendly and said I looked cute, so he gave me two candies."

The child's mother became unhappy when she heard this. She grabbed the child's ear and scolded him, saying that he was disobedient and talked to a stranger.

Qu Xiaoyou stopped her and then asked, "What kind of candy? Did you eat it?"

The boy rubbed his burning ears and said in a crying voice: "The uncle said he would give me two candies and asked me to eat one and give the other to my friend.

"But my parents wouldn't let me go out, and I couldn't see any other kids, so I ate one and hid the other."

"Then take out the other candy and let us see it." Lu Xiuyuan said.

The little boy didn't dare to disobey, so he took out a bulging little paper bag from under his pillow and handed it to him.

Lu Xiuyuan took the paper package and opened it, and a sweet smell filled his nose.

It was a black candy, and it smelled really sweet, which made people's appetite increase greatly. No wonder children could not resist the temptation.

There was nothing special about it on the surface. Lu Xiuyuan thought about it and gently broke the candy in half with his fingers.

This was such a terrible change that several people gasped and stepped back in fear.

In the middle of the broken candy, I saw a black worm like a thread wriggling violently.

The bug was about the length of a finger joint and as thin as a cotton thread. Its small body rolled and twisted, full of energy.

"This... this is..." The child's mother's face changed, and she looked at her child with horror on her face.

"Little one, you wouldn't...eat the bugs too, would you?"

The little boy was probably frightened. He stared at the worm for a moment, then burst into tears and shouted that there were worms in his stomach and he was about to die.

"Husband, this can't be..." Xia Younan looked at the bug with a frown on his face, a chill on his face.

"It should be Gu!" Lu Xiuyuan confirmed her guess.

Several people were silent, secretly wondering what the intention of the person who cast the spell was. What could a child do? Why cast the spell on so many children?

The child's mother was furious when she heard this. She couldn't help crying and shouting in fear and horror: "Oh my! Who is this bastard who put a curse on my child? He's just a child! How could he be so cruel!"

Xia Younan and others comforted her and told her to wait. They would rush to the Miao village and come back to save the child after finding a way to detoxify the poison.

Before they came back, she was told to tie up the boy as soon as it got dark and not to let him go no matter how he struggled, and only untie him after the cock crowed.

The couple agreed readily, thanked them profusely, and then saw them out the door.

After last night, several people realized that the so-called missing children were due to witchcraft. They couldn't help but be secretly shocked and worried about the children who had disappeared.

"By the way, Xiaoyou, you were bitten by that kid, are you serious?" Xia Younan suddenly thought of Qu Xiaoyou's injury, and while asking, he rolled up her sleeves to check.

I saw two rows of bright red teeth marks on her snow-white and smooth arms. There was blood at each tooth spot, and it looked painful.

"This..." Xia Younan frowned and looked at Qu Xiaoyou, feeling very distressed.

Qu Xiaoyou, however, didn't take it seriously at all. She looked calm and at ease, and even comforted her that she was fine.

"Come back to the inn quickly, I'll put some medicine on her." Zenmu said, staring at the wound on her arm, his brows twisted into a small knot.

When they returned to the inn, it was already bright outside. Zhu Li and his friends were in a panic because they couldn't find them. They were relieved to see them come back safely and complained to them that they went out without even saying hello.

Lu Xiuyuan asked Bai Yiyao again and confirmed that the child was indeed poisoned by a Gu, but she had no idea what kind of Gu it was or how to get rid of it.

There was no other choice, so they had to go deep into the Miao village as planned and ask those highly skilled poison masters.

After a quick breakfast, the group left Dian City.
