In the blink of an eye, Xiang Anjie and Mao Xiaoting had already stayed in the Baishamian for three days.
Initially, they thought they would only need to wait a day or two to see Voodoo Gu Master, but later they heard from Abou that in order to treat the villagers, it would take four to five days to go up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs. After all, it would take a lot of time to create the unique seedling medicine of the Miao Family, so she needed to walk around the dozens of mountains near Baishamian for a few days to gather enough medicinal herbs.
Although they had been waiting here for the past two days, the two of them did not feel particularly bored because in these two days, they had gotten to know many villagers in the village. It was just like what A Wen had said before, the people in the village were simple, the villagers were mostly kind and honest, and knew that the two of them were guests that came from afar, and many villagers even invited them to their homes.
After eating a few meals, Mao Xiaoting had tasted many delicacies that could not be eaten in a large city.
On one hand, he couldn't eat this kind of food, but on the other hand, he was still worried about other things.
Fortunately, this morning, after finishing his meal, Abou counted with his fingers: "En, it should be about time, right? A Xiang should be back by now!
"A Xiang?"
Hearing this, Xiang Anjie was startled: "That's right, that Voodoo Gu Master?"
"That's right!"
Abou nodded his head: "Her name is Chi Xiang, we usually call her A Xiang."
Speaking to there, Abou finished all the soup, and then stood up: "Alright, it's getting late, I'll go to the fields and work first, when I return home at noon, I'll make all of you pig blood intestines and some Blood Silver."
After he finished speaking, Abou took his hoe and walked out of the house. Although he was the village chief, there were not many families in the village, and since the villagers were simple and honest, there was nothing special he had to do. As a result, Abou would always be busy during the day on his own acre of land.
After Abou left, Xiang Anjie cleaned up the table and plates for the three of them, then walked out. "Finished!"
"Mm, it's been hard on you."
Mao Xiaoting said while grinning.
Seeing this, Xiang Anjie had an unhappy look on his face: "I say, you ate too! Alright then, why do you have to let me clean up every meal? And if you really want to say it, every meal you eat is better than mine. "
"Is there a mistake?"
As a result, when Mao Xiaoting heard it, she immediately rolled her eyes. "A man like you doesn't wash the pots, don't tell me you want a beauty like me to wash the pots and wash the dishes? Besides, didn't I accompany you here this time? "Moreover, I'm not good at washing pots and dishes. This kind of household chores."
Xiang Anjie sighed helplessly, "You … "How can you possibly get married in the future like this?"
Hearing Xiang Anjie's words, Mao Xiaoting snorted: "There's no need for you to worry, if I really cannot get married, then I will look for you!"
"Looking for me?" "Why?"
"Who told you to say that I can't get married. If I don't find you with my crow's beak, who else can I find?"
"Ugh …"
Xiang Anjie was speechless, but Mao Xiaoting continued to say: "It's boring to stay at home, why don't we go out and take a look?"
"Going out for a walk? Where to? In the past two days, we have been going all over the village. "
"Didn't Abou say that earlier? That Voodoo Gu Master A Xiang should have returned today, why don't we go and fetch her? After all, Abou had said before, every single round trip this A Xiang takes is along that mountain road at the back of the mountain. If we were to follow that road to find her, we would definitely be able to meet her. "
Hearing Mao Xiaoting's words, Xiang Anjie also felt that it made some sense. After all, he had come this time to find this Voodoo Gu Master, if he had found her earlier, he might have been able to reach his goal earlier.
Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed, "Alright then!"
Just like that, the two of them walked to the back of the village and followed the man-made mountain path towards the mountain.
After walking for half an hour, Mao Xiaoting felt tired. After all, the road at the back of the mountain was rather difficult to traverse, even if a path was opened up by someone, it was merely to cut off all the thorns and weeds on the road. Therefore, walking was extremely tiring.
"Phew, I'm so tired!"
Saying that, Mao Xiaoting was about to sit on a big boulder, but before she could sit down, Xiang Anjie grabbed onto it, "You can't sit."
"What's wrong?"
Xiang Anjie didn't answer immediately. Instead, he pulled Mao Xiaoting apart and carefully moved the rock away.
After the stone was moved away, the nest of black scorpions under the stone instantly appeared in front of the two of them. All of these black venomous beasts were around the size of Mao Xiaoting's palm and they brandished their large, sharp pincers and the sharp stinger and tail at the two of them to demonstrate their might.
Seeing this, Mao Xiaoting could not help but inhale a breath of cold air. Looking at the looks of this Poison Scorpion, its poison was not weak.
"Sigh, no matter what, you are still a devotee, can't you behave a little more stably? One day, a fool will hurt you. "
Seeing this, Mao Xiaoting shrugged her shoulders: "What I learnt was how to deal with demons and ghosts, not the Five Poison Evil Worms, how would I know that there is such a thing as poisonous scorpions under the rocks?"
After she said that, Mao Xiaoting suddenly became silent.
When he looked carefully, his expression did not seem normal. He was frowning slightly and his eyes were constantly scanning his surroundings.
Seeing this, she immediately became alert, "What happened?"
"It seems... There's a sound! "
With that, Xiang Anjie looked around, and finally focused on a spot at the top of the mountain: "It seems to be coming from there."
After he finished speaking, he carefully walked towards the direction with Mao Xiaoting in tow.
Five minutes later, the two of them arrived at the bottom of a tree. At this moment, Mao Xiaoting also heard the special sound.
From the voice, it seemed like a few men were talking to a woman, but from the tone of the man's voice, it sounded like he was arguing about something.
The two of them carefully peeked their heads out and found three men and one woman standing under a bush about ten meters away from them.
One of them was a lady who wore the unique attire of the Miao Family. She wore a lot of silver ornaments, and had a silver hairpin on her head. She looked like she weighed at least a kilogram.
Although he was quite a distance away from him, and there were even some branches and grass blocking his path, Xiang Anjie could still clearly see that this woman was not very old. He looked to be in his early twenties, and was extremely beautiful! This girl's skin was as white as snow, and his bright black eyes were as clear as spring water, exuding an enchanting glow. Even though she was so far away, she still looked like a goddess of nature in this mountain.
Behind her was a large bamboo basket, looking very much like it had come back from a mountain.
"Could this be Voodoo Gu Master A Xiang who went up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs?"
Seeing this, Xiang Anjie softly said.
Mao Xiaoting nodded her head: "Seems like it is. "However, the three men beside me don't seem like good people."
The three men standing opposite A Xiang were all dressed in suits and leather shoes. Although they did not look like Locals, they had a strong local accent the moment they opened their mouth: "A Xiang, I hope you think carefully before answering us."
The one who spoke was the one who seemed to be the leader of the three men, he was tall, had a handsome face unique to male members of the minority, but on his handsome face, what Xiang Anjie saw more was a kind of Evil Qi, and after he finished speaking, the two lackeys beside him approached A Xiang viciously.
"No matter how long I think about it, there is only one answer to this question, and that is impossible!"
Facing these men's overbearing attacks, A Xiang's expression did not change at all, "Suo Yin, I've already reminded you more than once, the Witch Gu's technique is a traditional secret technique of our Miao Family, even if it's something that our clan members do not know, how can we let outsiders know about it? I advise you to give up on this thought as soon as possible, so as to avoid the old ancestor blaming you and causing trouble for yourself. "
Hearing this, the leading Suo Yin had an unhappy look on his face: "Old Ancestor? What kind of era was this? Was he still trying to be superstitious? worshiped natural enemies, worshiped ghosts and gods, and even said that there was a mountain god on this broken mountain, that's good, since there was a mountain god, then let him out, aren't you the Voodoo Gu Master? God of Heaven, the Underground Ghost, get them to come out! I think all of you have been stuck in this stupid place your whole life. Have you ever gone out to see the world? Do you know how wonderful the outside world is? As long as you have money, no matter where you go, you will always be a grandpa. But now, the big boss in the United States has offered you twenty million dollars to buy the Gu in your hands, that is twenty million dollars! "
At this time, Suo Yin emphasized the word "US dollar" once again.
"As long as you hand over the secrets of the Gu, we can get twenty million US dollars. That would be over a billion RMB, do you know what a hundred million US dollars is? You will never be able to finish counting the money in your lifetime. When that time comes, we will no longer have to stay in this dog-shit village. We can go anywhere in the world and enjoy a beautiful life! "
As he spoke till here, Suo Yin was somewhat agitated. His two eyes shone with a greedy red light.
However, compared to the light shining in his eyes, A Xiang remained calm. "Are you done speaking?"
"I'm done!"
Being asked like that, Suo Yin was startled, and subconsciously nodded.
"Alright, after you finish speaking, you can leave. Don't block my way, I still need to go back and prepare the Hundred Spirit Ointment."
After saying that, A Xiang prepared to bypass all of them and continue down the mountain.
But at this moment, the two menacing henchmen suddenly stood in front of her. Each of them extended a hand and pressed down on her shoulder.
"These guys …"
Seeing that these three men looked like they wanted to bully this girl, Mao Xiaoting couldn't help but want to step forward and help them.
But Xiang Anjie suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down on her: "Don't be anxious, let's wait a little longer, that A Xiang doesn't look simple!"
