Uncle Wu left and did not want to have too much communication with Li Xiaobai. In his opinion, this young man was too aggressive in approaching the Wu clan. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives. His young lady was not defensive, but he could see it clearly.
, this matter should be reported to the clan leader and asked to make a decision.
Li Xiaobai briefly walked around this exquisite attic and discovered several suspicious points. There were many rooms in the attic where clothes and bedding were piled up in a mess. It was obvious that someone had lived there. However, after wandering around the entire attic, there were even a few...
No human figure was noticed.
There is even a layer of water left in the tea cup in some rooms, indicating that the other person left in a hurry. This is very abnormal. Where have everyone gone?
"Brother, do you know where the others in this attic have gone?"
Li Xiaobai found the guard under the attic and asked.
"He just left. I will never ask about these things. They are all homeless people picked up by the lady on the road out of kindness. Maybe she felt embarrassed after living in someone else's house for too long, so she left secretly?"
"They are not monks of my Wu clan. Their life and death have nothing to do with me. They can stay wherever they want."
The guards' eyes flickered when they heard this, but they still said impatiently. It was obvious that they knew something, and Li Xiaobai noticed this problem just after he arrived, which made them slightly surprised.
"By the way, you were picked up by the lady too. The lady will give you porridge, water and elixirs at the entrance of the village every day. You can go and take a look."
A guard said.
Li Xiaobai thanked him and walked towards the entrance of the village.
The Wu clan is not a famous family, nor is it a majestic construction of the sect. It is just a force hidden among the villages. It is good at concealing its whereabouts. Along the way, he has discovered no less than a dozen people lurking in the shadows.
A shapely monk.
This Wu clan should be a force that attacks assassinations, and their words and deeds look too much like assassins.
At the entrance of the village, it was exactly as the guard said. Wu Guo was standing behind a large pot, serving porridge, water and elixirs to many monks in ragged clothes with a smile on his face.
Some of these people are monks who have wandered from the outside world, and some are monks in the village who lost their limbs fighting monsters. At this moment, they are drinking the porridge and water in their hands gratefully, and everyone has a look of intoxication on their faces.
What's more, they started to snatch the porridge and water from Wu Guo's hand and poured it into his stomach.
The guards on the left and right took action to suppress the troublemakers and threw them out. The rioting team became orderly again.
Li Xiaobai squinted his eyes. Everyone present was a man of cultivation. How could they get into a fight over a bowl of porridge? There was something wrong with this. These people seemed to be addicted to porridge and elixirs.
Sneaking into the begging team, Li Xiaobai came close to Wu Guo and stared eagerly at the white porridge in the big pot.
"Master Li also wants to taste white porridge?"
Wu Guo had a sweet smile on her face, and her hand holding the porridge paused for a moment, but she still brought the porridge and water to Li Xiaobai.
"I saw all the fellow Taoists enjoying themselves while drinking, and I was curious, so I came to try the eldest lady's craftsmanship."
"The eldest lady is really kind-hearted and has a sweet voice. She helped many monks living on the streets with her own efforts. I am deeply moved."
Li Xiaobai took the porridge and water and drank it all in one gulp.
In my mind, the system beep came to mind.
[It is detected that the host is suffering from the Heart-dispelling Toxin, attribute points +6 million...],
[...Attribute points + 6 million...]
The numerical value on the system panel is jumping, which is enough to explain everything. I don’t know what the purpose is. This eldest lady of the Wu clan, who looks sweet and kind, and even has a hint of a virgin, is actually far from being as innocent and pleasant as she seems. The other party is giving these beggars.
Drugged, a toxin that makes people obsessed.
"My little girl is just doing it with a little effort. These porridges are given to monks who have retired from the battlefield nearby. They are made from spirit-devouring grass. It is not so much porridge as it is medicinal food, which can consolidate their cultivation and nourish their injuries.
."
Wu Guo smiled.
Li Xiaobai nodded: "I see, then I might as well have a taste of this elixir."
"Young master doesn't seem to be a person in need of help. He just drank the porridge water. At this moment, you should leave the elixir to more people who really need it, right?"
Wu Guo looked troubled and seemed a little hesitant.
"Even so, boy, you look so well-dressed and you still have the nerve to lick your face and eat and drink?"
"Get out of here quickly, don't take a shit in the latrine, Fairy Wu's medicinal diet is not for people like you!"
The people in the queue at the back immediately became excited when they heard this. There were more monks than meat, and there were only so many pills every day. It was not easy to get them, but the spot was actually occupied by a pretty boy. Just thinking about it made me angry.
"It doesn't matter what I have to eat. I was picked up by the eldest lady, but I have always been decent in my life and am not weaker than others. Even if I am begging for food, I have to beg for him with all my integrity!"
Li Xiaobai patted his chest, full of pride, and put an elixir into his throat, and the system panel jumped again. It goes without saying that this elixir is also a tool used to poison monks and make these people addicted. As for the purpose, it is not clear yet.
"It's okay. At the worst, my little girl can do more today. Everyone has a share."
"Excuse me, Mr. Li, please go back to the attic to rest first. My daughter will visit you later. I hope you won't be weirded out."
Wu Guo covered his face and chuckled. He exuded a sincere girlish aura, which made many monks look at him. This kind of girlish astringency was an ecstasy they couldn't refuse.
Li Xiaobai looked at these monks rushing to grab porridge, water and elixirs, and couldn't help but shake his head. There were no masters in this group of people. They were drugged easily, and their strength was very poor.
After wandering around the village, I didn't find anything else of value. On the contrary, it was quite different from what Uncle Wu said. Almost all the villagers I met along the way greeted them enthusiastically, with kind smiles on their faces, and even
Received eggs from an old woman.
The whole village is filled with an atmosphere of simplicity and kindness.
"This is very wrong. How can any village be so unprepared for outsiders? In contrast, Uncle Wu's behavior is the most normal. These villagers don't seem to be afraid of the damage caused by the outside monks and have something to rely on."
Li Xiaobai thought to himself, and returned to the attic. This time there was a little boy in the room, about twelve or thirteen years old, who was throwing things out of the window with a look of disgust on his face.
"You were also brought back by Sister Guo'er?"
"Look at you looking stupid, come with me!"
The child looked at the young man who was looking up and down at the door, cursed angrily, and began to instruct the young man to sort out the debris with him.
"What are we doing?"
Li Xiaobai didn't mean to argue with the child, but he saw that the other party's behavior was a bit strange. This should also be a child who was taken in, and maybe he knew some inside stories about the attic.
"Sister Guo'er has been so kind to us. We have no worries about food and drink and a big house to live in. Naturally, we have to repay her kindness."
"Clean up all this rubbish. Sister Guo'er will feel comfortable when she comes!"
