Chapter 355: Chapter 355: "Soul Gu" in Cold Medicine This morning under the flagpole, Little Moon fell, and Hu Die helped her up. Little Moon looked at her and smiled, and there was a clear hint of a smile in Hu Die’s eyes too. The world outside is in turmoil, changing drastically every day. But in Hu Die’s world, it is a constant cycle of winter passing into spring, reflecting the calmness and tranquillity of time. Lin Xiaosu was somewhat puzzled; could it be that Hu Die was aware of his attempt to win her over? If not, why hadn’t this piece been moved? Things need to be considered from both sides. Not being utilized might also be a good thing. At least in Little Moon’s view, she absolutely hopes that her current life will continue until the end of her days... With a few emotions in his heart, Lin Xiaosu set foot on the path to the Inner Village. The tea garden was just as it was, the mountain forest just as it was, the cliff ahead just as it was, and when he rounded a corner, the thousand-year-old Miao Village appeared, just as it was. Perhaps time in the mountains passes very slowly. But as he got closer, Lin Xiaosu’s heartbeat silently accelerated. This time, he didn’t plan to quietly take Yixiang away like the last time; he wanted to visit openly because what he needed to do was important, and sneaking around was, after all, troublesome. That was one reason. And the second? He couldn’t build happiness on Yixiang’s troubles. If he quietly whisked her away, Yixiang would surely cooperate. The process would definitely be exciting, perhaps even more thrilling than doing it openly. But, it would be very hard for her... Upon entering the thousand-year-old Miao Village, Lin Xiaosu did not look around, but he was well aware that many eyes were fixed on his face, his head, his back, and the large bag he was carrying. There were also many discussions that hadn’t ceased since he arrived at the village entrance. "This handsome guy is really handsome." "Whose relative is he?" "Is he here for a match-making visit?" "Fourth sister, why don’t you go talk to him? Maybe..." Lin Xiaosu walked over, passed by the pond, and arrived outside Yixiang’s yard wall. It’s necessary to admit that visiting a super large village requires a strong mental fortitude. But it must also be admitted that Lin Xiaosu had an overwhelming mental fortitude. He opened Yixiang’s small courtyard with the basic understanding that if he wasn’t embarrassed, it was someone else’s turn to be embarrassed. Yes, the courtyard door was not locked, just ajar. Upon entering the small courtyard, he lifted his gaze and saw the tree in the courtyard. This tree is terrifying in this season. The tender branches swaying in the wind truly looked like a tree full of snakes. This is the characteristic of this tree. In spring, branches and leaves resemble snakes, and by summer, real snakes would come, gathering various toxins. By autumn, the tree would bear fruit, naturally capable of neutralizing these snake venoms. Based on the color and texture of the fruit, Miao doctors would know which fruit corresponds to which poisonous snake, and people bitten by snakes within a ten-mile radius could use this fruit for treatment. Its effect is miraculous. This is a gift from nature, a creation of nature, and also a legacy of a generation of Witch Gods for the descendants. Hearing sounds in the courtyard, two women came out from the ancient house... Yixiang and her Mother. As soon as Yixiang saw the person in the courtyard, her face turned red instantly, the basin in her hands nearly dropped, but she hurriedly clutched it tightly. Her Mother, who didn’t appear human that day, had completely transformed, gained some weight, and regained a bit of grace. At this moment, her eyes were wide open. "Auntie, I’m Lin Xiaosu, we’ve met before." Lin Xiaosu greeted with a smile, speaking in Miao Language. Mother’s lips quivered slightly... "Auntie, I came specifically to see you." Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, offering the bag. Both bags were quite heavy. Yixiang took them, breaking the ice: "Why did you bring any gifts?" "They’re just some daily necessities that didn’t cost much," Lin Xiaosu said. "Auntie, I bought you two sets of clothes too, but I don’t know if they’ll fit." Yixiang opened the bag and took out the clothes: "Mother, look." Mother’s eyes followed the clothes, turning them over three times, while Yixiang’s entire body tensed... This little rascal caught everyone off guard today. He actually came straight to the house. I’m about to have a heart attack. Mother, you ought to say something; he’s laid his cards on the table, now it’s your turn. Taking a pole would bring everything to a standstill for all of us. Don’t pick a pole... Mother sighed deeply: "Come in and sit, I’ll make you dinner." Her words ended, and she turned to go inside. Every cell in Yixiang’s body burst into song. Her eyes on Lin Xiaosu were about to sparkle. "Brother, why are you here?" Her voice was light with a slight tremble. "I missed you, is that okay?" Yixiang blossomed completely, her eyes flowing like honey, "Brother, come in!" Entering the living room, it was somewhat dark, but Little Hu, the small white cat at the door, jumped in, bringing more dynamics to the gloom. Lin Xiaosu extended his hand, "Little Hu, come, for a hug!" Little Hu’s lively demeanor suddenly changed; just as it entered the house, it turned around, showing him its little rear. "Oh, come on, are you serious? I must hug you!" Lin Xiaosu stepped forward and picked it up from behind. Little Hu’s big, round eyes looked at Yixiang, who gave it a warning glance, which it received, resulting in no struggling, accepting Lin Xiaosu’s embrace! Even when being turned over, it recognized it! This expression of injustice and acceptance amused Lin Xiaosu to laughter. Yixiang laughed too. She brought him tea, accompanying the setting sun. "Yixiang, there’s something very important this time," Lin Xiaosu shifted his gaze from Little Hu to Yixiang. "What?" Yixiang’s heart skipped slightly; could it be that brother wanted to formally finalize that matter with Mother? "There’s a kind of worm, very much like a Gu..." Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, revealing a pill: "I want you to identify it for me." At his words, the myriad distracting thoughts in Yixiang’s mind disappeared instantly, replaced by caution: "Is the worm inside the pill?" "Yes!" "Wait a moment!" Yixiang reached over, taking a glass bottle from the table beside her, and carefully opened the pill to reveal the sleeping worm inside. Yixiang’s face suddenly changed: "Life Soul Gu!" "Is it really a Gu?" "Yes! This is an extremely vicious type of Gu in Miaojiang, originating from the Corpse Gu lineage. Gushan was an active practitioner of this type of Gu back then," Yixiang said. "Brother, how could this Gu be inside the pill? This is extremely dangerous!" "It’s a long story; I’ll explain later. First, tell me, how does this Gu harm people?" Lin Xiaosu was also very excited. His little sweetheart proved capable, instantly identifying the origin of this Gu worm. Yixiang explained... Life Soul Gu, extremely dangerous and sinister, its danger lies in that once it enters the body, it can enter the bloodstream and flow to the brain, where it resides. It can lie dormant in the brain for over a decade. Its sinister nature is in its ability to secrete an analgesic that deceives the body; once in the bloodstream, a person feels no pain, it traverses the bloodstream unnoticed, and entering the brain, it lies dormant without detection, secreting a peculiar stimulant that might even make a person think their mind is exceptionally sharp. However, this is merely its dormant state. Once activated, it would unleash all its energy in the brain! Thoroughly destroying a person’s brain! Lin Xiaosu’s heart raced, "How does it activate its energy?" "Vibration! Its scales will produce a strange vibration, don’t be fooled by its small size; once it vibrates, the frequency is very high. The human brain’s interior is extremely fragile, not able to withstand such vibration. Just one is enough to turn a person’s brain into mush." "And then?" "Then a very peculiar transformation occurs, it will undergo Corpse Dissection!"
