"Grass ghost grandmother..." Huang Zhiting thought for a while and said: "This saying came from the Pianyuan area a long time ago. At that time, the Miao people, Yao people, etc. called women who could use poison as grass ghost grandmother.
. Later, I don’t know when, there appeared a very powerful voodoo expert among the Yao people. This person was a woman. She was almost sixty years old when she became famous. She traveled to various Yao villages to learn from the voodoo masters.
After discussion, in the end, all the Yao people in Guangxi villages admired her ability to use poison and respectfully called her the Grass Ghost Grandmother.
Because the Grass Ghost Grandmother was proficient in 108 poisons from ancient times to the present, and was the most skilled in using Gu among the Yao people, so later the Yao people in each village agreed that the Grass Ghost Grandmother would select successors from each village. The first generation of the Grass Ghost Grandmother had left
According to the rules, her descendants must abandon the worldly desires and serve Gu all their lives, so only the woman who has mastered the Supreme Heart Gu will have the chance to become the next grass ghost grandmother."
"Oh!" Gao Pragmatic suddenly realized.
Huang Zhiting looked at him with a smile: "Are you disappointed?"
"Ah?" Gao Pragmatic was puzzled: "Why should I be disappointed?"
Huang Zhiting said with regret: "I thought you had some intention of caring so much about Sister Ali." As she said this, she kept paying careful attention to the change in Gao Pragmatic's expression.
"Tch..." Gao Pingshi rolled his eyes: "Not to mention that I have some rules and beliefs. Even if I didn't, I wouldn't dare to bring home such a woman covered in worms."
"That's such a pity. I heard..." Huang Zhiting said, as if she had made a mistake and quickly stopped talking.
Gao Pragmatic looked suspicious: "What did you hear?"
"Nothing, nothing." Huang Zhiting waved her hands repeatedly, and then did not give Gao Pragmatic the chance to ask again, and said decisively: "I have to go on a journey tomorrow, I have to go back to sleep." After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Gao Qingshi was speechless for a while, but thinking about it, he seemed to be fine. It didn't seem safe to be so far away from Yao Village - there were mountains everywhere and the grass was thick. You might step on a snake just by stepping down. Now,
Huang Zhiting, the possessor who is not afraid of snakes and insects, is gone, so it would be better for him to go back early.
A night of silence.
Early in the morning of the next day, Huang Zhiting came to see Gao Pragmatic and urged him to leave quickly.
Gao pragmatic didn't want to waste time enjoying the Yaozhai farmhouse here, so naturally they hit it off, and the two of them went to see Tianchang Gong to say goodbye.
When we arrived at Tian Chang Gong's big house, Ah Li happened to be there too. However, perhaps what Ah Li wanted to say to Gao Pragmatic had already been said yesterday. She came to Tian Chang Gong today obviously to wait for Huang Zhiting.
After Huang Zhiting expressed her intention to leave, Tianchang Gong expressed his intention to stay as usual. Of course Huang Zhiting couldn't take it seriously. After repeatedly expressing his gratitude, he emphasized that he had important matters to return to "Zhongzhou", so Tianchang Gong had no choice but to agree.
Then Ah Li got up and gave something to Huang Zhiting, saying that it was her token and she would be able to walk around the Yao villages in Guangxi without being blocked. Huang Zhiting happily accepted it and said some emotional words of thanks.
Ah Li just listened quietly, with no emotion at all except for a slight warmth in her eyes. However, Gao pragmatically noticed that the cinnabar-red color in Ah Li's eyes today was much lighter than yesterday, and there was not as much radiance.
the meaning of.
Before leaving, Ah Li suddenly stopped Gao Jingshi and said: "Master Zhang, although you have a great aura in your chest, ordinary snakes and insects cannot recognize this awe-inspiring aura. Since you are a friend of sister Zhiting, I will give you something.
You drink it now."
Gao pragmatic was startled, and was about to ask what it was, when he saw a Miao girl next to him holding a small earthen jar. Ah Li took the earthen jar, opened the lid on the top of the jar, looked inside carefully, and still closed the lid.
I raised my eyes and smelled it, as if I was trying to distinguish something.
Then Ah Li took out a small wooden bottle from her waist, poured out a red pill the size of a fingernail, and threw it into the earthen jar. She shook it gently, handed the earthen jar to Gao Pangshi, and said, "Drink."
Get off."
Although Gao Pingshi knew clearly that what this girl Ali meant was not something he could refuse at this moment, he still couldn't help but ask: "This thing..."
"It can avoid the poison of snakes and insects. It's a little stronger than what Sister Zhiting drinks."
Well, Miss Ali is really direct in her speech, not tactful at all.
Gao pragmatic was shocked and said: So it turns out that Miss Huang can avoid snakes and insects because she drank medicine? I thought she had practiced some unique skills, so I didn't have the nerve to ask. However, the thing in this earthen jar is so
Is it powerful? Is it possible that after drinking it, Duan Yu will be as immune to all poisons as Duan Yu who ate the red clam?
He thought this question was very important and asked it again quickly.
Ah Li looked at him strangely, as if wondering why he was so stupid, but she said it in an emotionless tone: "It takes about a hundred days to avoid snakes and insects, but it will lose its effectiveness over time."
But she seemed to feel Gao Pragmatic's momentary disappointment, and added: "Unless you can drink a cup every morning for more than three years, you will be like Sister Zhiting, and you will accumulate insect repellent pills in your body. In this case,
, you can be protected from snake and insect attacks for almost your entire life.”
Gao Jingshi wanted to say, "Then give me the prescription. I can prepare it myself when I go back." But when he saw the eyes of Ali girl Gujing Wubo, he swallowed his words again.
He didn't dare to say anything at the moment, and drank the contents of the earthen pot honestly. He originally thought that the contents inside should be like soup, but unexpectedly it turned out to be extremely thick, just like drinking porridge, but what was even more surprising was that
The "porridge" was not as bitter as he imagined, but it was only slightly bitter and had a strange fragrance.
After he finished the porridge, Ah Li nodded, glanced at Huang Zhiting, turned around and left.
Huang Zhiting and Gao Pragmatic said goodbye to Tian Changgong. After walking not far, Huang Zhiting couldn't help but said: "Sister Ali seems to be really different about you."
Gao Pragmatic was stunned: "How come you can see that? Is it because of the bowl of porridge just now?"
"Porridge?" Huang Zhiting said angrily: "That's insect repellent soup. I drank it for several years when I was a child, and almost vomited from it."
Gao pragmatic said in surprise: "But I think it tastes pretty good."
"Hmph, that's what's strange about this girl." Huang Zhiting frowned and said, "Insect-avoiding soup is not an ordinary thing. In Guangxi, except for those who use poison and poison, we are the only major toast families who have their own recipes.
, but it can only ward off poisonous insects. But the insect-avoiding soup you drank just now is different... or rather, it is different after Sister Ali added that pill."
Gao Pingshi asked curiously: "What's the difference? Can't we only manage it for a hundred days?"
"That medicine is only available to the Grass Ghost Grandma. What do you think is different?" Huang Zhiting rolled her eyes at him and said, "No matter how rich you are, you can't get that medicine...it can avoid any poisonous insects."
Gao Pragmatic was surprised and happy: "Then I won't be afraid of poison anymore?"
"Are you dreaming?" Huang Zhiting laughed angrily at him: "The insect-avoiding soup can only be used for a hundred days. If you take one pill, you will avoid it for the rest of your life. What are you thinking? I estimate that the effectiveness of this medicine is only one day at most.
About a hundred days.”
Even so, Gao Pragmatic was not too disappointed. It was an unexpected surprise anyway. He smiled and said: "That's not bad. At least within this hundred days, I will be immune to all poisons. I think it's awesome when I think about it."
Huang Zhiting glanced at him and whispered: "If you are willing to stay in Siming Mansion, I, I can also prepare insect-avoiding soup for you. After drinking it for a few years, you will not be afraid of snakes and insect poisons in your life."
"This..." Gao Pingshi felt very regretful. How long he could stay in Guangxi was not something he could decide by himself.
Seeing that he refused to agree, Huang Zhiting felt very disappointed. She lowered her head and stopped talking, just silently leading the way.
Gao Pingshi didn't know what to say, so he had to follow her. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said to himself: This Miss Huang seems to really believe that I can get her family out of this situation of being cared about by the court, and she is dedicated to winning over me.
, it's a pity that I really can't stay... It seems that I have to hurry up this year, and I have to try to help her.
