The bitter man and the arrogant man eloped

Everyone was enclosed inside, and the moment the insects touched the powder, they made crackling and burning sounds, and white smoke rose from the body of the insects, and they couldn't enter the circle no matter what.

Youyou wiped the sweat off his head, patted Gu Lan on the shoulder vigorously, and sighed: "You still have a way! Fortunately, these bugs can't fly, otherwise we..."

"Shut up!" Liao Xuechan glared at him angrily.

Gu Lan frowned slightly, watching the changes of these black worms nervously, for fear that they would be caught by the wandering crow's mouth and grow small wings like flies later.

The black worms piled up in the shape of a sand dune rushed towards the powder one after another, burning one batch and replacing another batch, but there was not much powder left in the bottle. Gu Lan thought that maybe using fire would also work, but in that case, if the fire could not be sustained Control will inevitably leave fish that slip through the net, and then the entire Yanhua Pavilion, as well as the villages and towns outside the Yanhua Pavilion, will suffer.

These things parasitize in the human body and feed on human flesh and bones. They can absorb human beings until there is only a piece of empty skin left. Once they mature, they will come out in full force, just like some kind of ceremony of weeds sowing seeds.

Is it Gu?

There must be more than these few people in the village who were parasitized, and those who missed it would infect others. I don't know how they are doing now.

When he was anxious and worried, he only heard Liao Xuechan whispering in his ear, and Gu Lan saw that the swarm of insects on the ground suddenly stagnated, and the burnt black worms gradually lost their luster and turned gray-white, and then turned over stiffly on their backs, like They were as fast as when they were just out of the cage, and with only a crash, they turned into dead bodies all over the ground.

The few people were still in shock, and didn't dare to step out of the circle for a while, for fear that the evil insects would resurface.

"Master, here is a letter..."

Lian Mu, who pushed the door and entered, looked at everything in the house blankly, from the insect shells all over the floor to the three people in the corner who seemed to see evil spirits, and scratched their heads in puzzlement.

Gu Lan beckoned him not to come over, and after a while, he asked calmly, "Who wrote it?"

"Ah, it was brought by a crow, and I thought it was unlucky." Lianmu smiled silly, "There is nothing written on the envelope, just a word of leaf."

Mistress ([-]) Frost Girl ([-])

[Don't worry about the Qizi of the Hui Pavilion, I have my own sense of propriety, I have tracked down Bodhizi's whereabouts in the past few days, and I won't go with you, you know the way to contact me, don't take risks alone.

Also, remember that you owe me a secret room for the two to discuss, be sure to dig it out as soon as possible, and I will check. 】

Gu Lan frowned when he saw it, and felt the urge to crumple the letter paper and stuff it into Ye Qin's mouth.

Before, he repeatedly reminded Ye Qin not to be careless, but Ye Qin always had the attitude of "no one in the world can call me an enemy", and even regarded the killing contract of Huige as a joke.

"The Hui Pavilion, which claims to be infallible, has finally reached the day of making an exception."

Gu Lan extremely disapproved of him being so careless and underestimating the enemy: "At least be careful before October 28, isn't it an exaggeration?"

"It's not necessary," Yeqin said confidently, "It's just an ant. I'm more interested in the source of this Bodhi seed."

Afterwards, the two separated and went about their own business. Until October [-]th, Gu Lan never saw Ye Qin again.

He wandered around and found the residence of Zhong Chong Gu's people. It was an inconspicuous small village at the foot of Qihuan Mountain. Most of the young and middle-aged people in the village worked in other places all the year round. Make money by selling these to the city.

Gu Lan thought back, no wonder the ten people in the ward were all women and old men, there were no young people, but there were no children either.

Wandering was willing to act as a guide for directions, and he soon mingled with the villagers with a playful smile. The villagers were also very hospitable, and several young women kept inviting the guides to their homes for lunch.

"Ah, I remember you," a woman with a slightly plump figure suddenly smiled at Gu Lan, "You are the doctor from that restaurant, Mr. Feng fell ill next door, and my sister-in-law and I sent him there , is he well now, when can he come back?"

Gu Lan choked, and lowered his eyes guiltily, avoiding the young woman's clear gaze: "He probably...will never come back."

"I can't come back? What does it mean I can't come back?"

"It's just that it's not all right yet." You wandered behind Gu Lan and patted her hard, smiling at her, "Stay for a few more days, take care of her, take care of her again."

Gu Lan stared at Youyou, and then asked the woman, "Do you know the other patients sent over from the village?"

The young woman nodded and said, "Yes, our village is only this big, and we all know each other very well."

"Where do they all live, can you take us there?"

Seeing the sincerity in Gu Lan's eyes, the young woman couldn't help but blushed. She raised her hand and brushed the broken hair from her sideburns behind her ears: "Dang, of course, but they don't have anyone at home anymore. Why are you looking for it?"

Nobody left?Gu Lan thumped in his heart, and faintly caught a subtle sense of connection, and then asked: "The interval between these people's illnesses is not long, sister, do you know what they have eaten before, or have they been exposed to any strange things?" people?"

"What did you eat..." The young woman frowned and thought for a long time, but she really had no impression, so she could only shake her head apologetically at Gu Lan.

However, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl next to her said: "Sister-in-law, you forgot, Aunt Zhang read it that day, that is the widow Liu at the head of the village! I have long thought that something is wrong with her, she is sneaking around all day long." Aunt Zhang said that both Uncle Feng and Granny Liu had been to her house to buy clothes before, and it must be because of her bad luck that they fell ill!"

Gu Lan's eyes lit up, as if he had caught a ray of leaked light in a dark cave, and looked at the little girl seriously: "Little sister, where does the person you mentioned live, we need to find her urgently things, will you take us there?"

The little girl was a little reluctant at first, but her sister-in-law poked her with an elbow, and then reluctantly agreed.

On the way to Widow Liu's house, wandering around Gu Lan whispered in Gu Lan's ear: "It is said that there are many gossips in front of the widow's door. I think you should not go in for a while. What if she takes a fancy to you and insists that you molested her?" , An honest gentleman like you can't afford it. Why don't you let me interrogate her for you, I have many methods, and I'm not afraid that she won't do it. "

"Shut up." Gu Lan gave him a hard look, "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, it's clearly written on your face."

The wandering thief smiled: "How can I, look at you, and wrong me again, you will bully me."

When she could see Widow Liu's house from a distance, the little girl just gave them a hasty point, and refused to go any further: "Here, it's there, you go on your own, I don't want to be in trouble."

Widow Liu's house was not next to everyone's, she guarded the mountain wall and a stream alone, Gu Lan walked towards the stream, and within a few steps, she saw a beautiful woman on the bank, she was carrying a The wooden bucket, which was bigger than myself, was full of washed clothes, and looked quite heavy.

Widow Liu trembled and walked quickly, her arms seemed to be unable to support her, her body was tilted, her eyes were blocked by a large wooden barrel and she couldn't see the way, she accidentally stepped on a large raised rock, I sprained my foot, and with an "oops", I was about to fall hard.

Wandering clasped his hands anxiously, screaming "Yeah!" Turning his head, he saw that Gu Lan was no longer standing beside him.

Widow Liu tightly closed her eyes, thinking that she was definitely going to fall this time, but the expected "bang" did not happen for a long time, and someone helped her in time.Widow Liu felt a pair of warm and strong hands supporting her shoulders and arms. When she opened her eyes, she saw the slender and white knuckles. Her gaze went up the sleeves. It was an exceptionally beautiful face.

Gu Lan said, "Are you all right?"

Widow Liu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her brows, and pushed him away forcefully, with sullen anger on her face after being offended.She threw a sentence very coldly: "Don't meddle in your own business." Then she insisted on half-holding and half-holding the wooden barrel, and went back to her small wooden house with difficulty, closing the door with a "slam".

"Look, you've hit a snag." Wandering shook his head, "I told you that you are inexperienced in dealing with widows, and you still keep rushing forward."

Gu Lan didn't think much of it, his expression was warm and indifferent, he thought, this widow Liu lives alone, how can she get so many men's clothes, she probably washes clothes for the male workers in the city to make a living, so the gossip must be She couldn't avoid it, she was usually looked down upon by people a lot, she felt innocent and had strong self-esteem, so she pretended to be strong and indifferent, so as to avoid those people with wretched thoughts.

But no matter what, he must ask the ins and outs of the matter clearly today.

Youwan asked, "What shall we do now?"

"Wait." Gu Lan said.

"Wait?" Wandering smiled, "Wait for her to come out and invite you to have lunch at home? Haha."

Before she finished speaking, the widow Liu suddenly pushed the door open again, and instead of coming out, she poked her head and shouted viciously: "Why don't you leave?"

Gu Lan sighed, and looked up at the sky: "I'm tired of traveling, I really don't have the energy to walk, it's past meal time, and I don't know where we can ask for a sip of water."

Widow Liu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "There are still some leftovers at home, I pity you, come here if you don't mind."

Wandering was dumbfounded.

Gu Lan lifted his foot and walked away, shaking his head and "tsk tsk" twice, turning his face to look at Wandering with sarcasm in his eyes.Youyou hurriedly followed, and poked his back with his finger: "Gu Xiwei, you've failed in learning."

Gu Lan has never bothered to be a gentleman. The way of a gentleman is just a yardstick.
