At this moment, there was just a "squeak", and the wooden door of the Diaojiaolou slowly opened to both sides, and the so-called "King of Gu" came out.
Is this the sixty-year-old that Uncle Liao mentioned?
I looked at this man.
This man is slightly shorter than Brother Yu, and about the same height as me. He has straight facial features, calm eyes, a full head of black hair, and not a single wrinkle on his face. Even if he says he is in his thirties or forties, some people will believe him!
And when he spoke, it was in standard Mandarin.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Xiaomi hurriedly said: "Grandpa Gu Wang! They are all my good friends! I brought them here because I want you to help treat a disease!"
This man seemed to like Xiaomi very much. His eyes were calm, he touched Xiaomi's head, and said with a smile: "Good boy, I usually don't see outsiders, but since I am your good friend, I will make an exception today."
"Thank you, Grandpa Gu King!"
Xiaomi turned around and said: "Sister Snake Girl, come here quickly! Grandpa is very nice, don't be afraid, let him help you take a look!"
The snake girl struggled wildly and said she didn't want to get close to this person. There was really no other way, so Brother Yu had to forcefully carry the snake girl over.
The man said in a calm voice: "Child, don't be afraid, just raise your head."
The snake girl slowly raised her head.
When he saw the snake girl's brown eyes, the man immediately frowned.
I quickly told him that the snake girl had liverworm disease and asked if there was any way to treat it.
He said: "Hepatitis? I can cure it."
Then he changed his tone, looked at the snake girl and said, "But it will take a few months. This baby girl must stay with me for treatment."
The snake girl immediately grabbed my hand and said with a cry in her voice: "Brother Xiang! I don't want to stay here! I don't want to stay here alone! Don't leave me here, okay!"
The snake girl was so abnormal that I became suspicious, so I pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? What's wrong with this man? Are you so afraid of him?"
The snake woman's voice trembled: "Brother Xiang...Brother Xiang, this person is not a human... He may be a snake, a very cold snake that I have never seen before."
I am speechless.
Putting aside the name Gu King, this man is obviously a big man, how can he insist that a human being is a snake? Could it be that the snake has been cultivated into a spirit and transformed into a human being? Are you kidding!
Then I heard King Gu say: "Stop standing outside, come inside and sit down."
As soon as I entered the stilted building, I immediately felt a chill in the room. It wasn't cold like winter, but just cold, the kind that gave me goosebumps.
Xiaomi seemed to be used to the environment here, she said coquettishly: "Grandpa Gu Wang, you must help my friend! Otherwise, I will not send you dumplings in the future!"
"Haha, good boy, are you threatening me?"
Xiaomi smiled and said: "I don't dare to threaten you!"
King Gu grinned. He suddenly raised his head and shouted to the second floor: "Mother, there are guests at home. Quickly make a pot of tea and come down to entertain the guests for me."
A few minutes later, I heard footsteps on the stairs and looked back.
I saw a thin woman with a sallow complexion holding a teapot in her hand and limping downstairs.
When I saw her face clearly, my mouth slowly opened wide...
She also noticed me, and suddenly the teapot she was holding made a clang and fell to the ground.
