Night fell.
The afterglow of the stars shone on a village that was located in a col. It gave the entire White Miao Village a bleak and gloomy vibe.
Ye Chen sat in the tower of the Miao Village while carrying his daughter. He observed the entire village quietly and realized that the White Miao Village people's life was still the same as it was 30 years ago.
They still used braziers to light up the place and used stoves to cook. Even the drinking water was picked up.
However, he felt relieved when he recalled that they lived in a rather remote place and that the people in the village were a little xenophobic.
The only special thing was that night in the Miao Village.
The night in the Miao Village was great. The croaking of frogs came from the rice field far away under the stars. The ginkgo tree next to the tower was glowing.
"Daddy, I'm hungry."
The little girl in his embrace was holding her tummy that had shrunk. Her little face could not stop falling.
Ye Chen comforted her, "Do you want to eat a medicinal pill?"
"No, I want to eat rice and meat." The little girl shook her head, her stubbornness rising.
To her, the things that outsiders could not even buy with money were not even comparable to a bowl of rice and meat …
Ye Chen felt a little awkward now. He looked around and had his eyes focused on a chicken coop. He was hesitating if he should steal a chicken for the little girl to eat.
At that moment, a fragrance wafted over.
The little girl took a hard sniff. "Daddy, it smells so good. It smells so good!"
Ye Chen looked in the direction where the fragrance came from. He saw a beautiful silhouette walking over with a big iron pot and a bamboo basket on her back.
Who else could it be but Xiao Ya?
"You guys must be starving, aren't you?" Xiao Ya put the big iron pot on the ground as she walked closer. She smiled apologetically at Ye Chen and his daughter.
The little girl struggled out of Ye Chen's embrace. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the big iron pot. "Aunty Xiao, what did you make? It smells so good! "
"You'll find out when you open the lid." Xiao Ya poked her little face softly.
The little girl opened the lid wobbly, and a rich fragrance wafted over.
"It smells so good!" That was the only thing the little girl knew how to say.
Ye Chen could not help but gulp.
"This is Little Black Herb Stewed Chicken."
Xiao Ya smiled and introduced, "In our village, as long as there are distinguished guests, we will use this to entertain them. Little Black Medicine is also called Triangle Maple. It's a type of medicine that can treat kidney deficiency, low back pain, asthma, and also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."
Kidney deficiency, low back pain?
Ye Chen's expression froze when he heard that.
Xiao Ya took out two bowls of steaming white rice from the bamboo basket and passed them to the little girl and Ye Chen respectively. "Eat up. I'll get more for you guys if it's not enough."
"Thank you, Auntie Xiao, you're the best."
The little girl smiled sweetly and began eating after picking up the bowl. She even added a piece of chicken for Ye Chen.
"Dad, you should eat more too. Only when you're full will you have the strength to fight!"
Ye Chen was speechless.
So in your eyes, I'm just a boorish man who only knows how to fight?
He suddenly didn't want to acknowledge this daughter of his.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the bowl and began eating at a steady pace.
Xiao Ya sat aside and watched the father and daughter quietly while holding her chin with her hand. Her beautiful eyes were focused on Ye Chen, and she was lost in thought without realizing it.
"Is there something on my face?" Ye Chen said without lifting his head while eating.
Xiao Ya's pretty face blushed and she looked away immediately. She suddenly said after hesitating for a moment, "I'm sorry, Ye Chen!"
"What are you sorry for?"
"I-I shouldn't have done that to you guys."
She held her head down as she spoke to this point and clasped her fingers tightly. "Those two bottles of water, I-I almost killed you guys."
"Let it go. Moreover, you didn't let me drink it when it mattered, did you?" Ye Chen said while smiling.
"That's true, but I still feel bad."
Xiao Ya could not let go of the knot in her heart. She said to herself, "You know about the Black Miao Village. I was kidnapped to the Black Miao Village when I was 15. Their high priest planted a gu in my body and hid me outside so that my grandma and the rest couldn't find me.
I don't know if I'm a bad woman to you, but I guess so. A woman like me won't have a good ending. "
As she spoke, her tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace.
The little girl who was eating stopped eating and said while looking at her, "Aunty Xiao, are you hungry? Daddy is right. You guys are too poor. You'd rather starve yourselves and feed Daddy and me. "
Ye Chen was speechless.
'What the hell is this girl saying?'
Pfft!
Xiao Ya, on the other hand, was amused by what she said. She rolled her eyes at her while wiping her tears. "You bad girl. I'm not poor at all. I'm richer than your daddy."
"My daddy has a few billion …" The little guy pouted, as if he wanted to continue.
Ye Chen picked up a piece of chicken immediately and stuffed it in her mouth. He then asked Xiao Ya while looking at her, "Was the gu in your body planted by the Black Miao Village's high priest?"
"Yes."
Xiao Ya nodded as fear filled her pretty face. "This isn't an ordinary gu. According to Uncle Li, it's the egg of the Black Miao Village's Golden Silkworm Gu. As soon as it enters my body, the high priest can control me even if we're thousands of miles away, especially when the gu is activated … Moreover, only the high priest can take it out.
Grandma and the rest have discussed it for a long time, but there's nothing they can do … "Xiao Ya nodded as fear filled her pretty face.
Her body could not stop shaking as she spoke to this point. Clearly, she had experienced something in the past.
"Is this it?"
A white one suddenly appeared in Ye Chen's hand. It looked like a silkworm baby.
"Yes!"
Xiao Ya nodded by instinct. Subsequently, she opened her pretty eyes wide. "W-where did you get this from?"
"From your body!" Ye Chen said while smiling.
"I-I'm in my body?"
Xiao Ya exclaimed and said in disbelief, "No way. Are you saying that this is the gu in my body?"
"That's right." Ye Chen nodded.
Xiao Ya was shocked. "H-how did you take it out?"
"It's simple. I took it out because I wanted to," Ye Chen burped and said in a muffled voice.
Xiao Ya was speechless.
'You took it out because you wanted to?
That was the Golden Silkworm Gu's egg. The high priest had even cast a spell on it. Apart from him, nobody could take it out. '
Ye Chen frowned when he saw her staring at him blankly. "You don't believe me? Do you want me to put it back? "
Xiao Ya screamed and retreated a few steps back immediately. She said in disbelief after being stunned for a few seconds, "Ye Chen, sometimes I really wonder if you're my classmate."
He had killed Li Yuan with a slap!
Unbeknownst to him, he had helped him remove the Gu from the High Priest's body.
Was that something an ordinary person could do?
"Don't tell anyone. Just keep it to yourself. I don't want to be interrogated like a criminal by those old men and old ladies."
Ye Chen smiled, not minding it at all.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Ya took a deep breath in and said in gratitude, "Thank you, Ye Chen."
"It's no use saying that. Can you give me another bowl of rice? Your chicken stew for treating kidney deficiency is great … "
…
At the same time.
In a valley fifty miles away, a gloomy and terrifying stronghold stood tall in the darkness. There was a cave with a brazier in it.
A man in a black robe was chanting at the brazier before him at the moment. As he moved his hands, two fist-sized flames leaped out of the brazier into his hands.
Bang!
At that moment, the brazier exploded with a bang. Sparks flew everywhere!
The black-robed man spat a mouthful of blood out hard. The blood pierced a hole in the wall of the cave directly.
"Who is it?! Who broke my gu?! "The black-robed man could not stop roaring like he had gone mad. He looked shocked.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the entrance of the cave. He turned around and said in his deep voice, "Come in!"
Subsequently, a sinister-looking old man in his 60s walked in quickly. He knelt on the ground in all seriousness when he was less than ten steps away from the black-robed man.
"High priest, Li Yuan's Natal Gu is dead!"
The black-robed man was not surprised at all. He said without even turning his head, "How did that piece of trash die?"
"We found his body at the scene and … something from the White Miao Village!" the sinister-looking old man said while trembling.
"White Miao Village, what a White Miao Village. I didn't want to deal with you guys so soon. Since you guys have a death wish, don't blame me!"
The black-robed man grinned.
"Pass down my order. Order the elders from the Li, Yin, Zhao, and Ma clans to lead 500 people each to the White Miao Village before dawn the next day!
"Four Illuminating Pulse experts are coming. If you guys don't destroy the White Miao Village this time, I'll toss everyone into the Divine Dragon Pond!
"Bring that b * tch back!"
