[69 Book Bar - www.] "You..." Ana's eyes widened. It was impossible. She saw him drink the cup of tea with her own eyes. How come he wasn't poisoned?
"You want to ask why I didn't fall for your poison, right?" Gu Nianxi said quietly, "Because I didn't drink that cup of tea at all."
"No, I saw you drank it." Ana couldn't believe it.
"Because of this." Gu Nianxi took out a sponge-like object, "This is water-absorbent fat. It can absorb one kilogram of water, let alone a cup of tea."
"Have you seen it a long time ago?"
"Do you think I came all the way to find Cao Po and didn't do any homework on your witchcraft?"
In order to treat He Yining's illness, he has studied this ancient witchcraft very thoroughly. Except that he can't use it, he can be said to be proficient in it.
"The main way to spread poison is through food. As long as you avoid contact with food, you can avoid the poison."
"You have already seen that I am the person you are looking for?"
"good."
"Is that why you deliberately tested me?"
"Dangan said that in this area, Cao Po is a profession that is discriminated against. No one will take the initiative to admit that they are Cao Po. If your profession can be seen in the light, you will not hide in the mountains."
"Haha." Ana laughed, "He is indeed the man I like. He is really smart."
Suddenly, a sadness filled her eyes, "No one wants to be a grassroots mother-in-law when they are born. Do you know how my grandma died?"
Gu Nianxi stared at her, already guessing in her mind that it must be a tragic story.
"We lived in the village at that time, and our relationship with the villagers was quite peaceful. Once, a child of a family got a strange disease. After taking many herbs, it was no longer good. He kept vomiting and crying. People in the village said it was my grandma who gave him the disease.
The child was bewitched. They beat gongs and drums at the door of my house every day, asking my mother to remove the poison from the child. But my mother did not do such a thing at all, and she was helpless. In the end, the child died. In the middle of the night, our family
Someone set a fire and my grandma was burned to death. Before she died, she pressed me under her body and I survived."
Gu Nianxi saw a crystal teardrop rolling down from the corner of her eye, and the strange color on her face turned into a sad look.
He slowly took away the dagger in his hand, "What happened next?"
There was no way he could use his sword against such a fragile person.
"Later on, I hated those people. It was obviously not my grandma who did it, but they insisted on putting the blame on her. So, I learned how to practice Gu when I was very young. Maybe I was born to do it.
Well, it got worse and worse. In the end, I was regarded as an ominous thing by the villagers and was expelled from the village forever. I had nowhere to go and could only live in the mountains. What you see now is not my original appearance.
, my face had already been destroyed in the fire."
"Is this also a kind of voodoo technique?"
"No, this is plant makeup. Do you want to see what I really look like?" When she said this, there was a bit of sadness in her voice.
Gu Nianxi shook her head, feeling that Ana was also a poor woman, and it would be the most painful to uncover the scars.
She slowly sat up from the bed, "Now you know that I am a grass woman, what do you want to do with me?"
"Are you willing to help me?" Gu Nianxi took back the dagger in her hand.
Ana stared at him for a while, smiling mysteriously, "If you hadn't put away this knife, you would never know the answer you want."
For her, life has long been disregarded and dispensable, and no one can threaten her with his life.
The fire that happened more than 20 years ago also burned her heart. She never thought that after so long, she would meet a man who would make her feel a little excited. She spoke for the first time.
Talking about the past with others, she shed a tear in front of others for the first time, and caught the look of pity in someone else's eyes for the first time. She could feel that this man must be deeply in love with a woman in his heart.
He was so passionate and in love that everything was turned upside down, and at the same time, there was a hint of kindness beneath his arrogant appearance.
"Do you sympathize with me?" she suddenly asked quietly.
"You don't need sympathy." Gu Nianxi replied without thinking.
"Haha." Ana laughed, "This is the answer I want to hear."
She looked over and said, "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
Gu Nianxi told the purpose of her trip without reservation, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. To him, she was the dawn.
Ana thought for a moment, "The only person who can remove the poison is the person who cast it. Theoretically speaking, your woman is hopeless."
"Since it's theoretical, then there are still miracles, right?" Gu Nianxi didn't want to give up any hope. He had been looking for so long to find a grass woman, and he didn't want to hear this kind of answer.
"You are lucky to have met me." Ana smiled with a hint of pride, "I can guarantee that no one in this world can solve this poison except me."
Gu Nianxi looked at her puzzled.
Ana continued: "If you have the same blood as the person who cast the poison, you can save your woman by using this person's blood and the blood of the poison."
"Yuan Jing's son is dead." The only person Gu Nianxi thought of was him.
"No, she has other relatives." Ana smiled knowingly, "Because the Yuan Jing you mentioned is my aunt, my aunt's sister, and she inherited this Gu together with my aunt.
It's just that she was too obsessed with people and always wanted to use this method to control everything. In the end, she fell out with my grandmother and left here with her son. I haven't heard about them for many years.
I didn’t expect she was already dead.”
Regarding Yuan Jing's death, her expression did not change at all, as if she was talking about the life and death of others. If it weren't for the fact that this was Yuan Jing's hometown, he would really doubt the blood relationship between them.
"Then the voodoo thing you are talking about refers to the poisonous insect that mastered this voodoo technique, right?"
"Yes, snake voodoo is to trap five kinds of poisonous insects together and let them kill each other. The one who survives in the end is called voodoo. Since she was poisoned by snake voodoo, then this voodoo must be a snake, but... you still
Can you find it? Without it, even my blood is useless."
Gu Nianxi immediately thought that He Yining once said that she had seen a big snake in Yuan Jing's room. That big snake must be the "gu creature" that Ana said.
It's just that the Huiwang base has long been in dilapidated condition. Many places have been blown up. Yuan Jing is dead. Can the big snake survive? Even if it survives, where can we find a snake in the vast forest?
Ana jumped out of bed, took out the key and opened the locked door. A smelly smell rushed towards her. Gu Nianxi followed her and saw that the dark and damp room was crawling with poisonous snakes and scorpions...
There were also some ugly poisonous insects that he had never seen before.
Ana took out a small bag and handed it over, "This is bloody blood. It can lure snakes out of their holes. I hope it can help you."
She pulled out the dagger from his waist, stared at the shining blade, and smiled on it, "I will remember your name, Gu Nianxi."
She cut her arm with a knife, filled a small bottle with her blood, sealed the lid and put them into a bag together. "Whether you can save your woman or not depends on you."
Gu Nianxi took it and said solemnly, "Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me, you just need to remember my name. My name is Mona."
"If you need my place in the future, I will be there without any hesitation."
Ana giggled, "No, just remember my name. When I die, remember to build a tombstone for me. Just write Mona's Tomb."
