The moment she saw the small bottle, Ye Ranran was stunned, "This is..."
"Ranran, do you know this bug?" Seeing Ye Ranran's reaction, Hongxiu couldn't help but ask.
Ye Ranran nodded, took the small bottle, looked at it carefully, and then said: "I met a monk when I was interviewing this, and he said it was a half-lived insect."
"What is a half-life insect?" Xiao Mochi looked at Ye Ranran with curiosity, "Sister-in-law, please explain it to us."
"Legend has it that there was a pair of masters and apprentices on Donghua Mountain. The master was a woman and the apprentice was a man. Their age difference was only three years. The master had a different feeling for the apprentice, and since then he has been silently waiting for the apprentice to discover her feelings.
.”
"But the apprentice was young and frivolous. He always thought that going out to work outside and gaining a reputation as a warrior was more important than anything else. But when he experienced in the world and was seriously injured, he realized that what he really needed was never
reputation, but to be with his master."
"But there is not so much good luck in life. When he realized this, he was already on the verge of death. In order to resurrect him, his master found this kind of half-living insect, put the insect in his body for three days, and used it with himself
The blood is used as nutrients to grow the bugs, and then taken out to make medicine."
"The medicine made from half-living insects finally saved the apprentice, but the master only had less than a month left to live. She spent the last time of her life teaching the apprentice what love is. But after the master died, his apprentice also died for love.
…”
"What a poignant story." After listening to Ye Ranran's narration, Hongxiu felt like crying, but she didn't understand. "Why is Shangguan Beilin half-lived with worms in his body?"
"Maybe someone needs him to raise insects and use these insects to save people." Ye Ranran guessed.
Hongxiu narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, the one who gave Shangguan Beilin half a life of insects was not the killer."
The time was too short, and the killer didn't feel like he wanted to use Shangguan Beilin as medicine.
It seems that there are some things that Shangguan Beilin needs to recall by himself.
When they returned to Shangguan Beilin's ward, the man's condition had improved a lot.
The doctors and nurses also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the poisonous blood was vomited out in time, otherwise we would have been really worried about Mr. Shangguan." The doctor looked at Hongxiu and said approvingly, "Miss, you can do something."
The nurse looked at the two of them with ambiguous eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Shangguan, you must cherish your girlfriend who loves you so much."
At this moment, Shangguan Beilin's face was full of embarrassment, and he cleared his throat, "You have misunderstood, we are not in that kind of relationship. She and I..."
"I'm not blind, so I can't like someone with low emotional intelligence. So, nurse, please don't mess around with me." Hongxiu said first, and then when her eyes collided with Guan Beilin's,
Inexplicably, he dodged.
The scene of them kissing also appeared in Shangguan Beilin's mind, and he couldn't help but frown.
The nurse saw that the two people were obviously having an affair but didn't want to admit it. She couldn't help but shook her head, but she didn't say anything and followed the doctor out.
Xiao Mochi pointed at Shangguan Beilin, and then at Hongxiu, with a look of confusion on his face, "Is that what happened to you?"
"Yes, I was so angry that he vomited blood, and that's what happened." Hongxiu's eyes clearly dodge.
But Xiao Mochi didn't believe it. He crossed his arms and looked at Ye Ranran, "Sister-in-law, I dare say there must be an affair between them."
"What kind of adultery! Mr. Xiao Mochi, can't you be more pure?" Hongxiu said, in order to change the subject, she handed the small glass bottle in her hand to Shangguan Beilin, "This is a half-lived insect, you know how it got here
Is it in your body?"
Shangguan Beilin just frowned when he saw the half-born worm, but he was not surprised at all, "We, the Shangguan family, will foster half-born worms in our bodies."
"This is a poisonous insect. If you keep it for a while, your life will be gone! Why does your family keep it?" Hong Xiu said she didn't understand.
Do the people in the Shangguan family have big holes in their minds?
Shangguan Beilin obviously didn't know that this kind of bug would kill him. He frowned slightly and looked at the ladybug-like bug in the small bottle in disbelief.
"How could it kill someone?"
"Why won't people die? There was a blood line on your chest just now. Based on our family's many years of experience in tomb robbing, that kind of blood line will only appear when someone is about to die. If I hadn't forced the bug out for you in time, now
You are no longer Shangguan Beilin. You are a corpse."
Hongxiu shook her head helplessly as she spoke.
What's going on with this guy? He didn't find any problem.
Shangguan Beilin was still a little surprised. He looked at the bug and said in a deep voice: "Our family's rule is that after a man reaches the age of twenty-two, he needs to use his body to feed half-lived bugs for ten years. After ten years, he will take it out and give it to the old patriarch of the family.
.”
There is indeed a living old patriarch on Shangguan Beilin, and he has eaten several half-lived insects.
Because of this bug, the patriarch's body will not be defeated by aging.
"Are the men who supported the half-life insects alive?" Ye Ranran asked.
Shangguan Beilin shook his head, "As far as I know, many of them got into trouble outside after leaving Thirteen Tianfang Cities."
"I guess it wasn't something that happened outside, but that he died from a poisoning, and then your family members lied to all of you in order to pretend they didn't know anything." Xiao Mochi's mind was wide open and he had already figured out the cause and effect.
"This is impossible." Shangguan Beilin shook his head, "It is impossible for members of our family to be so selfish."
"Then why are you the only young and promising man left in your generation?" Xiao Mochi asked.
When he was at Shangguan Beilin's house, he also gossiped about the family's affairs.
At present, Shangguan Beilin is the only young man left in his generation. As for the young men, they are not over sixteen years old yet and have no chance to be cultivated.
"They..." Shangguan Beilin was stunned.
Indeed, his brothers of the same race all died for one reason or another.
And almost most of them are people who support half-life insects.
If the half-worm is a lie...
Daniel, who brought the half-lived worm to the Shangguan family...
Thinking of that person, Shangguan Beilin's face turned gloomy, "I will definitely investigate this matter."
"If you need help, I can lend a helping hand." Hongxiu blinked, investigating these strange bugs, which is what she is best at.
But Shangguan Beilin shook his head this time, "No need, it involves some rubbish, and I don't want you to participate."
The Daniel he had known since childhood seemed to have really died!
