It was dawn, and I stretched. Shen Bing also opened her eyes. She frowned and looked at me for a long time before remembering what happened last night. Looking at the marks of the snake biting her fingers, she asked me in horror, how did she detoxify? I told the story of Master Xuan Zhen’s help. Shen Bing struggled to get up from the ground and was anxious to rush back to find Miao Fengyi.

She was originally weak, but now she is getting weaker, so of course she has to carry her on her back when walking. I, a child with a poor life, haven't slept for two days and have to carry her on her back, feeling like she can't cry even if she wants to. Walking back along the same road, I stopped and stopped in these miles of mountain roads until noon to find the talisman on the ground.

Miao Fengyi lying naked in the dead grass, closing her eyes tightly and unaware of the situation. Although she was covered in mud, she could not hide her graceful figure, so I couldn't help but take a look.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and find her clothes." Shen Bing glared at me.

I stuck out my tongue, ran back to the cave, picked up Miao Fengyi's clothes, went into the cave and took her belongings before running back. Shen Bing asked me to turn around and wait until Miao Fengyi put on the clothes before calling me over. I burned two talismans, mixed them with mineral water in the lunch box, and fed Miao Fengyi to drink.

Half an hour later, Miao Fengyi woke up, her face was very pale and not a little bloody. This time she was possessed by the fox-faced girl, which hurt her body a lot. I am afraid she would have to drink a talisman for several days to completely drive away the evil spirit. After she woke up, she didn't remember what happened last night, but when she saw me, her face turned red and her head turned away. She didn't completely forget that she was throwing her naked body on me, and that memory should still be there. I pretended not to see it, and asked Shen Bing to feed her something before she stood up and walked back towards Guiming Mountain.

I helped the two girls and walked all the way to Guiming Mountain. Although I walked slowly, the journey was correct. Before dark, we entered Shigao Village. After entering the village, Miao Fengyi told us that her mother died early since she was a child. Her father had been seriously ill since she was beaten last year, and she had been relying on her to dig grass roots to exchange for money for her father to treat her. Every time she came out, her aunt would help take care of her. Finally, she specifically told us not to tell what happened last night when she got home, so as not to scare her father.

This village is similar to what we saw in western Hunan. It is all stilt houses, rich in the atmosphere of Miaojia villages. The village is surrounded by mountains and water, and wisps of smoke rises, like a beautiful landscape painting under the sunset.

Walking on the small street of the village, I asked Miao Fengyi where the cripple man named Gu lived? She pointed to us and was just southwest, the only small shop in the village. Now I have to send the weak Miao Fengyi home first and find a jade refiner to talk about it later. Anyway, I have arrived at the field, so I don’t have to hurry. So I followed Miao Fengyi into a stilt house. In the dim room, an oil lamp was lit, as yellow as beans.

An old man was lying on a bamboo bed with a white cloth wrapped in his head, covering it with a clean quilt. It was different to have a daughter at home. She cleaned up everywhere, giving people a warm feeling. The old man was stunned when he saw an outsider coming. Miao Fengyi walked over and whispered in his ear a few words. Then the old man nodded and asked her to take us to the guest room to rest.

The so-called guest room is on the third floor, but it is actually the second floor. In addition to the room that stores grain and miscellaneous items, there is also an empty room. Miao Fengyi told us that because there are often businessmen who collect dragon teeth grass, everyone can usually sell it for a good price in their home. Therefore, this empty room is specially prepared for customers who collect grass roots. She helped us lay clean bedding on the bed and pulled Shen Bing downstairs. The two of them lived in the same room and left me on it.

The two girls cooked dinner, and they were so tired that they couldn't hold on. But Miao Fengyi gritted her teeth and insisted not to let her father see the problem. After feeding her father, she and Shen Bing hurried back to the house to sleep. I looked at my watch and it was only 8 o'clock in the evening, and it was not too late, so I sneaked out.

Because the village is not powered, many houses are black in the evening. In addition, the weather is cold in winter, and there is no figure on the street. I followed the direction Miao Fengyi pointed to and headed southwest. After turning a slope, I suddenly saw a black shadow appearing in front of me. I vaguely saw the figure very slender, like a woman, and a strange feeling surged in my heart. To be cautious, I sneaked along the hillside and followed quietly behind the woman.

When I arrived at the door of a stilt building not far ahead, there were two white paper lanterns hanging on it, and candles were lit inside the door, and the inside and outside the door were brightly illuminated. Seeing the white lanterns, I felt an ominous premonition in my heart. At this moment, the woman was standing under the light and clearly saw her back. She was wearing a black leather jacket and her hair draped over her shoulders. This was not like a Miao person, but should be an outside guest.

My heart moved, and the back was so familiar, thinking to me, hiding in a dark corner.

"I'll look for Gu Qinglin." The woman stood outside the door of the stilt house and said loudly.

It turned out to be her!

Who is she? It’s Gu Xiaoning!

Don’t say you didn’t expect that, even I was surprised. Gu Xiaoning was far away in Liaoning and thousands of miles away from Sichuan. She would come here for Mao? He even asked Gu Qinglin to find him, obviously knowing the origin of this person. I couldn’t help but frown and touched my nose to think about what was going on.

A cold woman's voice came from the door: "He's dead! What are you asking for him?"

My heart was thumping, grass, dead? Looking at the white lantern hanging at the door, it must be really dead. Why is my buddy so unlucky? I finally found the whereabouts of the Jade Refiner, but the person is gone. I feel something is strange about this. I just arrived at Bazhong, and the antique shop owner died suddenly, and the Jade Refiner died immediately. Wasn’t this coming for me?

"How did he die?" Gu Xiaoning asked in surprise.

"I died of illness." I guess the woman who spoke should be Gu Qinglin's wife, but I couldn't hear any sadness from her tone.

"When did the corpse die?" Gu Xiaoning continued.

"I died last night, and the body is in the coffin of the house!"

Gu Xiaoning raised his foot and walked up the steps and said, "Gu Qinglin and I are cousins, are you sister-in-law?"

"I am his woman, but I don't know he has his sister." The woman appeared at the door, dressed in white, and the light shone on her face, which made me clearly see a very beautiful face. She is about 35 or thirty-five or six years old, and has a good temperament. It seems that she is indeed a woman from the city.

But this woman's face looked like frost, and she looked like she was keeping people from thousands of miles away.

"You don't know, I've told you now. I'm asked by the elders of the Gu family to find Brother Qinglin to get something. The elders said that even if he dies, this thing should be placed on him and asked me to take it away and hand it over to him." Gu Xiaoning was very different from the gentle personality of the past when he was in Northeast China. He had an aggressive aura and walked up.

"No matter who you are or who you are, you are not allowed to touch my deceased husband. Please leave and don't force me to do it!" Gu Qinglin's wife narrowed her eyes slightly, and two murderous auras were emitted.

"When I came, I heard of you, a slut who was selling her body, was bought by the antique shop owner and married to my cousin..."

As soon as he said this, Gu Xiaoning let out a "uh" and squatted on the steps with his stomach covering his squat.
