He did not dare to release the old man from the cave, but he could secretly tell his family the old man's last words.
Once the Gu King takes advantage of his brain, no matter how powerful a person is, he can only survive seven days.
There was only so much he could do for the old man.
If there were any others, his own life might be in danger.
The old man had been staring at the expression on Qi Yu's face, and seemed to feel his sincerity.
His gray eyes suddenly lit up with a gleam of light. After taking a few long breaths, he whispered, "If you can, I would like to ask you to carry something for me."
Qi Yu nodded immediately, "No problem, but it can't be too big, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered."
"As you know, I keep my words to the Qi family. If I am caught, I will die at any time."
"Yeah, I know," the old man said in a low voice, "It's a very small thing, just pin it on my head."
Qi Yu reached over and took out a hairpin that was only as long as a finger from the old man's disheveled hair.
Its shape is very strange, looking like a hairpin and a bone whistle.
Even the texture looks like it's made of bones.
"This is..." Qi Yu pinched the thing and looked at it carefully for a long time, but did not find any mystery.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to be relieved, "It is just an ordinary bone whistle. I made it for my granddaughter."
"She was only five years old when I was locked up in Qi's house. I haven't seen her in twenty years. I miss her so much."
"If you can help me take it out to her, it will be a big help to me. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Qi Yu carefully put away the bone whistle, "It's not difficult to bring things, but how do I find your granddaughter?"
A smile appeared on the old man's face, "As long as you can take her out, they will naturally come to you."
"Hengling is not a big place, so as long as she blows that bone whistle, she will hear it."
"Can it make such a loud sound?" Qi Yu couldn't believe it. Although Hengling was not big, it was not small either.
How loud does a small bone whistle have to be blown before everyone can hear it?
"No, the she I'm talking about is my other child." The old man seemed to have thought of something happy, and his expression became much more peaceful, "She was raised by me, and she learned a lot of skills from me.
Like my daughter."
"That bone whistle is specially made. Only she can capture that sound."
"Then, grandpa, you have been trapped here for so long, why don't you blow the bone whistle and let them rescue you?"
Qi Yu always said whatever she wanted and directly asked the questions in her heart.
But the old man shook his head, "It's too dangerous here. I would rather be trapped myself than let them be in danger."
"I told her a long time ago that once she sees that bone whistle, it means that I am dead."
"Only after I die can they truly be safe and live a life that normal people should live."
"Young man, I have no other request. I just ask you to help me take it out, then find an open place and blow it, okay?"
Looking at the old man with tears in front of him, how could Qi Yu say no?
He slapped his chest hard, "Don't worry, grandpa, even if I risk my life, I, Qi Yu, will bring you something!"
The old man had been talking for so long and was already exhausted.
After receiving Qi Yu's assurance, he lay back with confidence and said, "That's good, that's good."
"I have been addicted to cultivating poisons for half my life, and the apprentices I taught have done a lot of harm to people. I should go down and make amends with those who died innocently and tragically."
