Chapter 65: A Family That Is Good at Controlling Gu Insects
In the end, despite Ming Yuanqing's unreasonable troubles, Jiang Zhiyue and Ouyang Ming stayed.
After Ming Yuanqing got what he wanted, he happily found a room for each of them.
Originally, she wanted Jiang Zhiyue to sleep in the same room as her, but in the end Jiang Zhiyue said that she was not used to sleeping with others, so she gave up the idea.
Jiang Zhiyue and Ouyang Ming's houses are very close to each other, right next door.
After such a long delay, it was already noon.
Not long after, a beautiful but extremely aggressive woman returned to the Ming family. The woman was Ming Yun, the mother of Ming Yuanqing and Ming Yixi.
Jiang Zhiyue was a little surprised why their last names were the same, but she didn't ask any more questions out of curiosity.
Jiang Zhiyue and Ouyang Ming had lunch at Hua's house.
What shocked them was that they not only used insects to make tea, but also used them to cook!
…
After eating the meal, Jiang Zhiyue felt her stomach churning violently.
When she wanted to stop many times, Ming Yuanqing would always put two more chopsticks of vegetables into her bowl, which were mixed with insects.
Although she knew that some bugs were edible, she was really repelled by them.
If it weren't for Ming Yuanqing's sincere look, Jiang Zhiyue would have thought that she was deliberately trying to trick herself.
Finally, when Jiang Zhiyue finally couldn't help but feel like vomiting, she suddenly remembered her superpower that had been forgotten thousands of miles away.
Just when she wanted to use her powers to control Ming Yuanqing so that she would stop picking up food, Ming Yun (Ming Yuanqing's mother) suddenly said: "Yuanqing, the guests are already full. It would be disrespectful to pick up more food."
Ming Yuanqing looked at Jiang Zhiyue in confusion and asked, "Zhiyue, are you full?"
Jiang Zhiyue tightened her mouth, fearing that she would spit out her words as soon as she opened her mouth.
She tried her best to smile and nodded, telling Ming Yuanqing that she was indeed full.
Jiang Zhiyue could only quickly take back the little power she had released.
But at the next moment, the bells hanging on Ming Yuanqing suddenly rang one after another, and the crisp sounds echoed in the room.
Immediately afterwards, the bell on Ming Yixi also rang inexplicably.
All of a sudden, the voices came and went and it was very lively.
"Um?"
Ming Yuanqing looked at the hollow bells on her body in confusion. She took the hollow bell hanging around her neck and stared at it in her hand.
He said in confusion: "What's going on? They have obviously been fed."
She flicked it with her fingers and said fiercely to the bell: "Be good, little cutie."
Only then did Jiang Zhiyue see clearly what was inside her bell. It turned out to be a red insect.
She was originally wondering why there were so many bells hanging on Ming Yuanqing's body but there was no sound when he walked. Were they actually filled with bugs?
Looking at the other bells on Ming Yuanqing's body, Jiang Zhiyue could see clearly what was inside because the bugs were squirming in the bells.
Except for the red bug in the bell hanging around Ming Yuanqing's neck, the other bugs are much more normal and can't be seen clearly hidden inside the bell.
Jiang Zhiyue asked with confusion on her face: "Ming Yuanqing, why are there so many... bugs on your body?"
"These?" Ming Yuanqing shook the bell around his neck, and the bell made a clearer sound.
Ming Yuanqing pressed the bells, but the effect was minimal and had no effect at all.
She said, "These are the little cuties I raised. All of our tribe..."
Ming Yun suddenly said loudly: "Yuan Qing!"
Ming Yuanqing suddenly remembered that things in their clan could not be told outside, otherwise people outside would drive them away and kill them all.
Although she doesn't know why, her father and mother have told her this since she was a child.
She closed her mouth knowingly.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject with a smile.
And the mental power Jiang Zhiyue had just released was slowly consumed, and there was no trace left in the air.
The bells on Ming Yixi and Ming Yuanqing finally calmed down and hung quietly on their bodies, just like an ordinary decoration.
Ouyang Ming felt something was wrong when the bells on Ming Yixi and Ming Yuanqing rang and he saw the bugs inside.
He suddenly remembered that in his last life, he was chased by a secret guard and fled into a forest in a panic.
There is a tribe in that forest who does not interact with the outside world and is good at controlling poisonous insects.
If he hadn't suddenly heard the bells ringing on Ming Yixi and Ming Yuanqing, he might not have remembered this thing buried deep in his memory.
But now it seems that the people here are most likely the same people he met in his dream in his previous life.
It's just that among the people he met in the dream, there were no four members of the Ming family, and the patriarch was someone else, so he didn't think of it for a moment.
The leader of the clan at that time was a seductive-looking woman. The whole clan respected that woman, but the woman wanted to control him with poisonous insects.
But in the end he escaped, and the woman didn't get what she wanted.
When he was confronting the fourth prince, he heard that the fourth prince had a concubine who could control people with his poison.
The clan leader changed, was it because of normal inheritance or because he was seized of power?
At this time, Jiang Zhiyue thought of the bugs in Ming Yuan Qing's bell, and a ridiculous idea came to her mind.
She vaguely remembered that in the original book, there was a person next to the fourth prince who seemed to be able to control poison. After the fourth prince succeeded to the throne as emperor, he was also named the imperial concubine.
However, there was not much description of that person in the book. Apart from the plot, Jiang Zhiyue could not recall any other characteristics about the imperial concubine.
Jiang Zhiyue and Ouyang Ming both suppressed their doubts and acted as if nothing had happened.
When Ming Yuanqing saw that Jiang Zhiyue was full, he didn't give her any more food. Instead, he thought of Ouyang Ming, whom she had forgotten.
The elders in the clan have said that once you get married, you should be nicer to your husband.
Although Ouyang Ming is not her husband yet, it does not delay her from being kind to him in advance.
Now that Zhiyue is full, give him two chopsticks of food.
Just when she was about to change her target, Ouyang Ming turned his chopsticks over and pressed them against her wrist to stop her.
"Ms. Ming, you can just eat by yourself. I'll do it myself."
"Pfft~"
Jiang Zhiyue burst out laughing without holding back. Fortunately, there was no food in her mouth, otherwise she would have been embarrassed.
The four members of the Ming family and Ouyang Ming all looked at her in confusion. Jiang Zhiyue quickly coughed twice and tightened her mouth.
Jiang Zhiyue said: "Sorry, I choked accidentally."
Ouyang Ming wanted to put his hand on Jiang Zhiyue's back to help her calm down, but someone moved faster than him.
Ming Yuanqing immediately put down his chopsticks, put a small hand on Jiang Zhiyue's back and patted her gently, asking with concern: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
