Early the next morning, it was time to leave the Miao people and return to Bashu.
Xian'er stayed, but Miao Keke and A Lan were added to the accompanying team.
When it comes to going to Dahua, the two women behave completely differently.
A Lan was full of expectations for this and seemed very excited. She seemed to have forgotten her unhappiness with Xia Shang.
Miao Keke was a little sad, as if thinking of some unpleasant experiences in the past.
Also worried was Miao Caihe, who had woken up last night. Zhou Jianren said that Miao Yong had secretly seen her in the middle of the night.
I don’t know what the father and daughter said, but Miao Caihe felt a little dull after that.
In any case, I believe that the meeting between father and daughter is a good thing after all. As for the story that happened to Miao Caihe...
Xia Shang didn't think about asking too much.
What makes Xia Shang feel regretful is that when he was about to leave, Xian'er did not appear. Miao Keke told Xia Shang that Xian'er was pressed for time and was taken deeper into the forest by the great witch early this morning.
A life of isolation.
Xia Shang felt that this was good, and it would reduce the sadness of parting.
Finally, Xia Shang looked back at Miao Village and saw that this paradise that once amazed him was now in ruins because of him.
The sight in front of him further strengthened Xia and Shang's belief that they would contact threats for the Miao village.
"Let's go!" Zhou Jianren began to urge.
The group of people did not look back and embarked on the road back to Bashu.
…
I didn't encounter many stories on the way back. Miao Caihe was always leading the way. He rested when he needed to rest and hurried when he needed to hurry. Everything was in an orderly manner.
I thought that with A Lan in the team, this trip would not be lonely.
However, Miao Keke's appearance made Ah Lan a little cautious and he followed carefully all the way.
The two of them were a small group and did not relax their vigilance against Xia Shang, so the journey seemed a bit boring.
It wasn't until a week later that the group left the rainforest, entered the border of Dahua, and embarked on the official road leading to Chengdu.
Everything in Dahua is new to A-Lan. No matter what it is, A-Lan will always ask Miao Keke.
Miao Keke answered patiently at first, but after a while she couldn't stand it anymore.
Only then did A Lan go to Xia Shang and ask some questions.
On the eighth day, the group got on the carriage. According to the coachman, they could reach Chengdu in one day.
After calculation, nine days have passed since I left the Miao Village, and there are only eight days left before the time agreed with the snake-faced man.
In other words, if you want to investigate the information about Haruboji, you must complete it within eight days.
Xia Shang, who was unfamiliar with everything, thought this was a very difficult matter.
Fortunately, there is Miao Caihe around, and she knows something about Chunfang Si.
Whether it was the old faction that threatened the Miao people or the new faction controlled by Chunjiao, Miao Caihe knew everything.
According to Miao Caihe's opinion, Xia Shang should contact Chunjiao first and use Chunjiao's advanced Chunfang Division power to conduct investigations in Bashu. News should be available soon.
Xia Shang was actually a little worried about this.
Because time is too tight, and the old faction of Chunfang Division has been hiding in the dark, and Chunjiao established the new faction of Chunfang Division not long ago, it is still unknown whether it can be found.
Miao Caihe was very confident. She told Xia Shang not to underestimate the current Master Chunjiao.
The leader of the new sect not only possesses more power than any previous leader of the Harubo Division, but also possesses unusually rigorous thinking. Although the new sect was established not long ago, it has already gathered some very famous figures in the world, as well as some members of the old sect.
.
Those members of the old faction of the Chunfang Division are more or less aware of some of the trends of the old faction and will definitely have useful information. Besides, Bashu is not the main base of the old faction of the Chunfang Division. There will not be too many members of the Chunfang Division here. Compared to
It is more likely to be exposed.
It was Miao Caihe's suggestion that made Xia and Shang decide to go directly to Chengdu. On the one hand, they could quickly investigate the affairs of the Miao people, and on the other hand, they could also learn about the progress of the plague.
Speaking of plague, Xia Shang felt that there seemed to be some connection between Jie Gu and plague.
Because the effect achieved by Jiegu in its later stages is like the plague, it can infect many people from one person.
But these are two completely different diseases, and if you think about it carefully, the relationship is not very big.
However, Jie Gu appears in the capital. If the people of the White Lotus Sect really want to use Jie Gu to cause trouble, the threat must be more serious than the plague.
Fortunately, similar problems did not occur in the capital, which gave Xia Shang still time to study how to resolve the Jie Gu.
Xia Shang discussed this issue with Miao Keke and asked her if it was possible to find a way to resolve the Jie Gu. At the same time, he also told Miao Keke the whole story.
When she first heard what Xia Shang said, Miao Keke was very surprised. She never expected that someone would use Jie Gu to harm people on a large scale. She also said that the person who used Jie Gu was probably related to the Miao people, and she didn't know who it was.
.
Regarding Xia Shang's concerns, will someone use the Jie Gu to spread the disease? Miao Keke said that there is no need to worry too much, because the Jie Gu eats a lot, and if you want to develop into an adult, you must constantly feed new Gu worms, and the Gu worms are
It is very rare, and the growth cycle of Jie Gu is relatively long, and many unexpected situations may occur during this period.
As for why there was an outbreak of Jie Gu in the Miao people, it is because there are a large number of poisonous insects in the Miao people, which become the natural food of Jie Gu.
But it is different in Dahua. Without the support of a large number of Gu insects, it is very difficult for Jie Gu to grow.
After listening to Miao Keke's words, Xia Shang immediately thought: "Could it be that the purpose of those snake-faced people is to find bait for the Jie Gu?"
This kind of speculation is very possible. If we can establish contact with the Jiegu that appeared in the capital because of this matter, we may be able to find out the real culprit behind this matter.
Things became more and more complicated. The original promise of Alan to take her around Chengdu was canceled in the end.
Back in Chengdu, Xia Shang immediately went to the inn where he last met Chunjiao, and then asked Miao Caihe and Zhou Jianren to find a way to notify Chunjiao to come over.
Miao Keke and A Lan were left to live in the inn with Xia Shang, sharing two rooms.
Xia Shang was alone in a room thinking about something, and soon someone knocked on the door.
Xia Shang thought it was A Lan who came, but when he opened the door, he found that it was Miao Keke.
"May I come in?"
Xia Shang stepped aside and nodded.
After Miao Keke entered the house, Xia Shang asked: "Where is A Lan?"
"She was tired from the long journey and had already fallen asleep."
When Miao Keke said this, her face and eyes were full of fatigue. It seemed that she was not much better than A Lan.
Miao Keke looked at Xia Shang's room and then sat down at the table.
Xia Shang also followed and sat down, looking at her curiously.
"I want to talk to you."
"ah?"
"I don't mean anything else. It's just...just..." Miao Keke paused and seemed to be organizing his words, "I don't know why, but my view of you has changed."
"Ah?" Xia Shang still had the same expression, not understanding at all.
"I gradually feel that you did not deceive us, maybe you are really worried about us Miao people." (To be continued)
