In the dead of night, a group of people walked quietly through the silent village.
"This is the well!"
The one who spoke was Luo Sheng.
Everyone walked to the well. In the dark night, they didn't see anything unusual about the well.
"According to what Mr. Luo said, I think the people in this village must have been poisoned!"
Mrs. Qingluan on the side suddenly spoke softly.
According to Luo Sheng, the people in this village were normal before, but in recent months, they have begun to suffer from drowsiness! Especially when it gets dark, people in the village begin to fall into drowsiness.
Nothing can be shaken! But in the early morning of the next day, when the rooster crows, the people in the village will automatically wake up again!
If they are said to be poisoned, then ask yourself, is there any poison in the world that can make people fall asleep at dusk and wake up at dawn, without any abnormality in the body, and the doctor can't even detect the pulse?
If they are said to be possessed by evil spirits, they don’t feel any discomfort at all! There is no trace of any evil spirits in this village! The only possible situation is that they have all been bewitched! But why did the person who cast the poison choose this?
If you attack this remote village, no one else will know!
"Ziyue, take the fire and fold it!"
Yunqi ordered Yuan Ji to fetch a bucket of water, and then asked Yuan Ziyue to hand over a fire stick and light a torch! Yunqi walked to the bucket of water, squatted down, and moved closer with the torch.
Go take a look! There is nothing unusual about the clear well water!
Yun Qi stood up and asked Luo Sheng again in a suspicious tone: "Master Luo, are you trying to fool us again?"
After saying that, Yunqi raised his foot and kicked the bucket! The cold well water spilled all over the floor!
"I swear, I really didn't lie to you this time!"
Luo Sheng raised three fingers and swore.
"Your Highness, look quickly, what is that?"
At this moment, Bai Yanqing suddenly shouted! She quickly ran to Yun Qi, tugged on his sleeves, then pointed to the ground and spoke tremblingly.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qi quickly turned sideways, held up a torch, and shined it on the ground.
Wherever the bucket of water that was kicked over just now was sprinkled, there seemed to be something squirming on the ground in the muddy water! When the fire illuminated it, the things on the ground fled in all directions, and finally, they all crawled out again.
Went into that well!
“What on earth is this?!”
Everyone was startled and stepped back, fearing that they might accidentally get caught in this weird thing!
"It's the sleeping Gu!"
Mrs. Qingluan said sharply!
Sleeping Gu? What is it?
"Sleep Gu can make people sleep! At first, they will sleep for a few hours, and then, slowly, the sleep time will become longer and longer! Finally, they will continue to sleep until...
…I can never wake up again!”
Mrs. Qingluan slowly explained.
According to Mrs. Qingluan, this sleeping Gu likes to be in a damp and dark place, and does not see sunlight all year round! It usually hides in wells, or in dark and damp places!
However, this village is located in a remote and sparsely populated area. Why would anyone attack such a small, cornered village? This matter has to make people think deeply!
At present, although it is known from Mrs. Qingluan that the people in this village are all infected by the sleeping poison, so when it gets dark, every household closes the doors and windows and falls asleep! But... what exactly is this sleeping poison?
How to solve it?
"How to cure this sleeping poison?"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head, looked at Mrs. Qingluan, and asked expectantly.
Across the dark night, Bai Yanqing could feel Mrs. Qingluan's hesitation. It seemed that she was not very clear about Bai Yanqing's question!
"I know!"
At that time, Luo Sheng stood aside and spoke cautiously.
Bai Yanqing rolled her eyes at him countless times! Since he knew the method, why did he bother to grind here for so long?
"This sleeping Gu belongs to the molecular mother Gu, and the one in this well is the child Gu. As long as the mother voodoo is found! If the mother voodoo is eliminated, the child voodoo will naturally not be able to cause climate change!"
Luo Sheng continued.
"Where will the mother Gu be?"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head and asked seriously. This time, she did not choke Luo Sheng angrily.
"According to the habits of this sleeping Gu, the mother Gu will usually live in a place with abundant water and where the sun does not see the sun all year round!"
Luo Sheng answered without hesitation. This time, he did not try to be mysterious.
Where could there be a place with abundant water and no sunshine all year round? As soon as Luo Sheng said this, everyone began to rack their brains, thinking about where is the place that fits this characteristic!
The location of this village is relatively secluded! There are not many families in the village, and the outside of the village is surrounded by a circle of farmland! If there is no one to guide the way, ordinary people will not be able to find it! There are dozens of people scattered here and there.
It seems that the family is not very prosperous!
A gust of cold wind blew by, blowing scattered dead leaves! At this time, the east was slightly pale, and the roosters in the chicken coop began to crow at the top of their lungs! It won't take long for the entire village to be transformed.
, it’s time to wake up!
Everyone still had no clue! Bai Yanqing knelt down boredly, picked up a fallen leaf on the ground, held it on his fingertips, and gestured boredly.
"Madam, what kind of tree leaves are these?"
Yun Qi suddenly bent down, took the dead leaf from Bai Yanqing's hand, and said thoughtfully.
"Reed leaves! Your Highness, haven't you seen them?"
Bai Yanqing patted the dust on his hands, straightened up, and said nonchalantly to Yunqi!
Yun Qi suddenly raised his head and stared into Bai Yanqing's eyes, which made Bai Yanqing's heart tremble!
"What...what happened? Your Highness?"
Bai Yanqing spoke tremblingly, thinking something had happened to Yunqi!
Yun Qi raised the reed leaf in his hand and waved it in front of Bai Yanqing's eyes: "Where do the reeds grow?"
"Of course reeds grow in..."
Bai Yanqing spoke without hesitation. Just halfway through her words, she suddenly opened her eyes wide as if she remembered something, and stared at the reed leaf in Yunqi's hand!
Yes, reeds! Reeds most commonly grow in low, moist and shallow water along rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps and other coastal areas! And the reproductive capacity of reeds is amazing! Therefore, reeds generally breed in patches! Under the reed bushes, it is dark.
It is humid and does not get sunlight all year round! From this we can know that the reeds are the most suitable place for the sleeping mother Gu to stay!
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing hurriedly asked Luo Sheng where were the reeds around the village!
After Luo Sheng thought for a moment, he raised his finger and pointed at the entrance of the village: "There is a large reed bush over there!"
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing hurriedly pulled Yun Qi and ran towards the entrance of the village! Simply because this village is small, there are small advantages, so he ran to the end of the village in just a few steps!
Sure enough, there are large reeds on both sides of the village entrance!
Even if the reeds are found, there is still a bigger problem, that is...how to find that small Gu insect in such a large reeds?
Bai Yanqing was worried again!
At this moment, Mrs. Qingluan, who had been following Bai Yanqing and the others, suddenly walked forward!
"Leave it to me to find the poisonous insects!"
Indeed, among all these people, only Mrs. Qingluan has done a lot of research on Gu insects, right?
Having said that, Mrs. Qingluan still took out the small porcelain jar and released the long black worm! I don’t know what secret technique Mrs. Qingluan used, but the long worm seemed to be able to understand Mrs. Qingluan’s words.
He twisted his body and burrowed into the reeds! After a while, the long insect made several weird noises! Seeing this, Mrs. Qingluan hurriedly followed her!
The pitted and muddy reeds were a bit rough for ordinary people to enter. Not only did their shoes and socks get wet, but even these fine clothes were stained with mud! However, Bai Yanqing couldn't care about this! She mentioned it without hesitation.
I followed him! I was not intimidated by the mire at all!
Bai Yanqing followed, and Yun Qi was naturally worried, so he also followed up! However, Yun Qi had some skills. He jumped lightly, flew up, and ran to Qingqing in the blink of an eye.
Where is Mrs. Luan!
When Bai Yanqing arrived, what he saw was Mrs. Qingluan squatting in the reeds, looking for the mother Gu of the sleeping Gu!
"Found it, here!"
Mrs. Qingluan shouted excitedly.
Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi hurried forward and saw a round, chubby black insect lying obediently in the palm of Mrs. Qingluan's hand!
Mrs. Qingluan carefully put the fat insect into the porcelain jar she carried with her, and then walked out of the swamp with Bai Yanqing and the others!
"How to deal with this mother Gu?"
Seeing that Mrs. Qingluan didn't seem to want to kill the mother Gu, Bai Yanqing asked curiously.
"It would be a pity to destroy it like this!"
Mrs. Qingluan said with a look of reluctance.
"If it doesn't die, those sub-gu in the well will definitely continue to harm the people in this village!"
Bai Yanqing'e frowned slightly, she couldn't have sympathy for such a harmful thing!
Seeing this, Mrs. Qingluan also knew that what Bai Yanqing said was reasonable, so she reached out, took out the mother Gu and put it on the ground! Bai Yanqing didn't even think about it, stepped forward and kicked the fat insect hard.
Go down!
"He's not dead yet?"
Seeing the Gu insect that was still looking so impressive, Bai Yanqing was stunned!
"You can't crush it if you step on it like this!"
Mrs. Qingluan smiled, and then released her long worm!
I saw the long worm twisting its body and slowly crawling towards the fat worm. From the trembling body of the fat worm, it can be seen that it is really afraid of the long worm! The black long worm crawled to the fat worm.
The insect came forward, and then, with a "swish", it opened its mouth and bit the fat insect into its belly at once! In an instant, the mother Gu became its belly meal!
After a full meal, the long black worm shook its head with satisfaction, then turned around and crawled towards Mrs. Qingluan again!
At that time, Mrs. Qingluan was opening the porcelain jar with a smile and placing it on the ground, just waiting for the worm to crawl in obediently!
"The mother Gu is dead, so the people in this village are relieved of the crisis?"
Bai Yanqing tilted her head and asked Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng nodded and agreed.
At this time, the rooster crows, and the rising sun is slowly rising, spreading the morning light across the earth!
In the village, the chimneys of every house have begun to emit smoke. The cries of children, the coughs of old people, the shouts of women...the sounds are repeated! They seem to have no idea that they have experienced something not long ago.
What a terrible thing!
At the well at the head of the village, there are already people who get up early, bringing wooden buckets and going to fetch water! The clear well water is crystal clear and there is no trace of impurities in it!
"very nice!"
Luo Sheng raised his eyes, looked at the scene in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly!
Until now, Bai Yanqing still couldn't figure out why Luo Sheng would rescue them! Luo Sheng should have little connection with the people in this village, right?
"You and them don't seem to know each other. Why do you go through so much trouble to save them?"
In the end, Bai Yanqing still couldn't hold back her words, so she spoke out what she wanted to ask.
"because……"
Luo Sheng turned his head, smiled at Bai Yanqing, and then continued: "Because, the poison in this village was caused by me!"
The morning light shone on Luo Sheng's flawless face, which should have been a very beautiful picture. But when everyone heard Luo Sheng's words, they all looked sideways, and they were all shocked from ear to ear!
Under this beautiful face, there is actually a snake-like mind! No one can believe it, right?
