Chapter 1711 Boys Cannot Undress Girls
Why did my cousin wake up?
Ji Jin was shocked and turned her head subconsciously and shouted into the house: "It's packed, I'll bring it in right away."
My cousin often does what she wants. After getting along for a long time, Ji Jin has long practiced the ability to quickly respond to any topic without asking about the cause or the consequences.
But the old man in the house was more awake than before. She asked in a daze: "Xiao Jin is back?"
Ji Jin was stunned for a moment. At this moment, the old man in the house actually came out.
Ji Jin hurriedly went to block Fang Que, who was covered in blood, with her body. She was afraid of scaring the old man and asked: "Why did you come out? Didn't you say that you are not allowed to leave the house after dark?"
The old man said aggrievedly: "Xiao Qiu went to collect the clothes. Did you see her?"
"I saw her." Ji Jin said casually: "She took the clothes in. You can go in and see that she is in the house."
"In the house." The old man believed it and moved slowly to go back to the room.
But after two steps, she stopped again, turned her head, glanced at Ji Jin, then moved away to look behind her.
Ji Jin was not prepared for the old man to be so clever, and did not stop him, so the old man saw Fang Que lying on the ground and the little boy who was taking Fang Que's pulse.
"Aunt..." Ji Jin called.
The old man bypassed her and walked over by herself. She squatted down with difficulty and looked at her beside Fang Que.
Xiao Li was unbuttoning Fang Que's clothes at this time. The red scorpion crawled into Fang Que's mouth. Although the red spots on Fang Que's face had subsided, she was now hot all over, as if she was about to be cooked. If she was not cooled down, she would be burned to death by her own internal fire.
Xiao Li was in a hurry, but the old man next to him suddenly held his hand. The palm full of ravines was a little rough. She said to the little boy seriously: "Boys can't unbutton girls' clothes."
Xiao Li frowned, turned his head to look at Ji Jin, and motioned her to pull the old man away and not make trouble.
Ji Jin stepped forward to help the old man, but after moving Xiao Li's hand away, the old man stretched out his hand and tapped Fang Que's philtrum a few times.
These taps seemed to be a call, and almost immediately, a red scorpion came out of Fang Que's nose. This scorpion was a circle smaller than when it went in before, but also a degree redder. After the scorpion ran out, it honestly drilled back into the black cocoon shell on the ground, and then spit out black and red silk to sew up the broken cocoon shell, trapping itself in it. After a while, the worn cocoon shell turned into a black "stone" again.
The old man naturally picked up the "stone" and stood up, hunched over and walked into the house step by step.
On Fang Que's side, after the scorpion left her body, the heat in her body gradually dissipated. Not long after, her body temperature returned to normal and her breathing became smooth.
Xiao Li watched all this in amazement. After a moment of stunned silence, Ji Jin hurriedly followed the old man back to the room. She watched the old man walk to the cabinet and put the cocoon shell containing the red scorpion into the cabinet. After the old man returned to the bed and lay down safely, Ji Jin opened the cabinet and searched for a while. Then, he saw a box of black stones in a wooden box in the corner.
Ji Jin took out the box, looked at the old man on the bed, and then looked at the box. He couldn't calm down for a long time.
When Ji Jin walked out of the room, Xiao Li had already helped the seriously injured Fang Que into the inner room. Seeing Ji Jin coming out, he asked directly: "What's going on? Your last name is Ji, right? I recognize you."
Ji Jin put the wooden box on the table, looked at Xiao Li, and frowned: "You are the son of cousin Liu Wei, didn't you get on that ship?"
"What ship?"
"The ship three years ago."
Three years ago? A waterspout?
Xiao Li reacted for a while before he realized that this was another person who misunderstood them and buried them in the sea. He shook his head and said, "I was on the boat, but the people on the boat didn't die. I didn't die, and my mother, Uncle Rong, and my sister didn't die."
Ji Jin was very surprised and asked with wide eyes, "You mean, they are all still alive?"
Xiao Li nodded and asked again, "Who is the old lady in the room?"
Ji Jin was silent for a moment, staring at Xiao Li's eyes and said, "According to the seniority, you should call her, great-grandmother."
Although Xiao Li had already guessed it, he couldn't help but lose his mind when he heard the answer suddenly.
This is the great grandmother, this is really the great grandmother.
When the old man took away the cocoon shell containing the red scorpion, he had guessed it. The great grandfather mentioned more than once that the great grandmother was a Miao.
The way the Miao people placed them into Gu was to wrap them in cocoons and take them out when they were needed.
Different Gu have different effects. The Miao people usually use Gu to detoxify and treat diseases, while the Miao branch Wu tribe uses Gu to harm people and take their lives.
Xiao Li had been in contact with the Wu Clan with his mother and knew the Wu Clan's methods, but he had only heard of the Miao people and had never seen them.
Trying to calm himself down, Xiao Li pointed to the head in the corner and asked, "Did you kill that person?"
Ji Jin took a look and found that the bundle containing the head had been opened, so he did not hide it and said directly, "Yes."
Xiao Li frowned, "Why did you kill someone?"
"He is a wanted criminal." Ji Jin knew that the child had grown up with his mother since he was a child. Cousin Liu Wei was a little too harsh on people's lives and was prone to exaggerating. Her son really had the same problem. Ji Jin said, "The governments of Tongzhou, Yangzhou, and Dingzhou jointly issued a reward for this man's head. Nine hundred taels for each head, and two thousand taels for each alive."
"Bounty hunter?"
Ji Jin had never heard of this word before, and only said: "It is to hunt down and kill the wanted fugitives published by various state governments. Different levels of criminals have different prices. Some are not death row prisoners and cannot be killed, and some can be killed. When you are short of money, you can use their heads to exchange money with the yamen.”
Xiao Liming realized that Songzhou had also issued such a bounty warrant. Cross-border felons and fugitives who could not be caught by local yamen would use this method to seek help from people in the world. The prisoner's head will be rewarded accordingly.
Since this head was a serious criminal wanted by the Yamen and allowed to be killed, Xiao Li no longer struggled with this issue. He asked again: "What happened to Fang Que?"
Speaking of this, Ji Jin felt a little tired. She sat down and told Xiao Li all the causes and consequences of tonight. After speaking, she asked, "Is your mother also in Anzhou? I want to meet her."
"She's not here." Xiao Li said and asked Ji Jin: "So you didn't kill the person who poisoned him and let him run away?"
"His name is Jiu Gongzi." Ji Jin was obviously very angry. She and Fang Que almost got involved tonight: "He and Cheng Dong were in the same group. They had an internal conflict for some reason, and Yu Ran and Ji Cha were chasing after him. He went. His head is more valuable than Cheng Dong. He is a habitual criminal with countless lives on his hands. Yu Ran and Ji Cha chased him to Lingzhou a few days ago, but for some reason, he suddenly appeared in Anzhou. , now I am more worried about the safety of Yu Ran and Ji Cha, I don’t know what their situation is.”
Xiao Li pursed her lips, and after a moment, asked again: "Then why are you taking my great-grandmother with you when you do such a dangerous thing?"
Ji Jin laughed at his question: "Otherwise, the old man can't live without someone and has no one to take care of him. She has disappeared before. What if something happens to her if she is left out of sight again?"
Xiao Li frowned and said, "Let me take her away. She will be safe with us."
Ji Jin was stunned and didn't react: "What?"
Xiao Li repeated: "I said, I will take my great-grandmother away tonight."
