Chapter 78 "And Gu Insects" and Memories
Aixiao originally saw a hawthorn tree with densely packed hawthorn fruits on the other side of the small mountain col, so he tried his best to climb over it. Although he is afraid of heights, Aixiao can still suppress himself in places where he does not need to climb up the tree The fear in my heart, speaking of it, the fear of heights that loves to laugh is a bit strange, for those high places that are not on trees, there is no serious tendency to fear heights.

Besides, because it was on a small hill, I was afraid that it might not be safe for my mother to pick it. After all, my mother has been ill for so many years and is still very weak.If it's my father, I'm too tired. After all, my father is responsible for those tall branches that are more difficult to pick, so I started to act when I laughed.

Although picking hawthorn fruit is very tiring, because there is a lot of dust on the tree and it is quite dirty, but I like it very much. When I see the hawthorn fruit one by one, I think of the fragrant hawthorn oil. It is not in the supermarket outside. Inferior oils such as arowana bought can be compared to jiao's.

Arriving at the edge of the mountain, Ai Xiao found a solid foothold, and then, couldn't wait to pick it up.

"One after another, hawthorn fruit, hawthorn fruit, you are so cute." Ai Xiao started working from side to side, and after a while, three or four catties of hawthorn fruit were loaded into the back basket, looking at the fruits on the tree. Quite a few, the heart that loves to laugh will fly up.This is happier than getting a space item in the past (of course, when there is more space later, no matter how good things are, they will not depreciate in the future, and space items are of course no exception). It's very cute in the eyes, but in terms of value, it can't compare with the space items burst out of the Laughter System.As for the joy in Ai Xiao's heart, it can only be said that the pursuit is different now.

It took about six or seven minutes for Aixiao to finish picking the hawthorn fruit from this small hawthorn tree that was not even above Aixiao's head. When Aixiao was about to leave with a full basket on her back, Aixiao stepped Arrived on a slippery thing.

Although the hawthorn garden is not as good as those primitive deep forests, there are not many fallen leaves here, so there should not be slippery things underneath.

"It won't be so unlucky, right?" Ai Xiao's fear welled up in his heart, because Ai Xiao thought of this kind of place, at this time, there is only one slippery thing - snakes, a few days ago, my father said that now it's those venomous tongues that are frequent It's time to come out for the event, this, this, won't you just win the big prize, right?Although I not only saw huge sea snakes when I was in the sea, but also put a lot of sea snakes into the space with my hands, but the fear of snakes is something that Aixiao cannot overcome in a lifetime.

The slow motion replay was the same, Ai Xiao lowered his head and glanced at the things under his feet with the corner of his eyes. "Huh, isn't it a snake?" When he realized that the thing under his feet was not the snake he thought in his mind, Aixiao immediately relaxed. Except for snakes, Aixiao can try to eliminate the fear in his heart.

"These strips are not earthworms or snakes, but they look like reptiles, and they are slippery to step on. What is this? Have you ever heard of such an animal?" Love laughed and said to himself. , "Dad has a lot more knowledge than me, maybe he knows, as for mom, maybe she knows less than me." Thinking of this, there is a loud shout of love.

"Dad, look, these are the things?" Seeing his father approaching in front of his eyes in a few strides, he remembered that since he took the Repairing Pill and cured his stomach disease, plus the wild honey that Ai Xiao took home later, the Queen Bee There is also wild ginseng, and after eating it occasionally, my father's body is really much stronger, not a little bit stronger than half a year ago, and so is my mother. Looking at such parents, the joy in Ai Xiao's heart is self-evident .

"This?" Dad Ying couldn't recognize what this creature was at a glance.

"Dad. Don't you know?" It's strange to laugh like this. It doesn't mean that Dad is really well-informed, but Dad shouldn't be unaware of such things that will appear in the mountains in the countryside?Dad grew up in the countryside. When he was young, he grew up in the fields.

At this time, Ying's mother also arrived, and she leaned her head to look at the little thing next to the father and daughter's feet with great interest.

"And Gu worms." Ying's mother's loud roar scared Ai Xiao and Ying's father.Ai Xiao never knew that her mother's lung capacity could reach this level.

"And Gu worms? What is this?" Ai Xiao hurriedly asked, it seemed that her mother knew this kind of creature, and she should know a little bit about it.

Ai Xiao didn't wait for her mother's answer, her two arms were pulled back by her parents respectively.It seems that although Dad has never seen it, he still knows a little about this kind of creature.Moreover, this creature still looks a little dangerous.

Following the direction pulled by his parents, Ai Xiao stepped back, "Mom, what is this little thing called "Ji Gu Chong"? You and Dad seem to be very scared?"

"This..." Ying Ma hesitated to speak.

"What is this? Mom——" Seeing her parents not wanting to say anything, Ai Xiao felt more puzzled and became more interested in such little things.

I didn't want to say it at first, but my daughter never gave up, Ying's mother stretched out her hand and scratched her head, and finally spoke.

"Xiao'er, this "and Gu worm" is like this." It seems that Ying's mother doesn't know what she will say in a while, "In fact, my mother has never seen it before, but when my mother was still at your grandma's house , but I heard your grandfather and second uncle talk about it, because what they said was really horrible, so my mother remembered it and never forgot."

While falling into the memories of the past, Ying Ma continued, "At that time, my grandfather, your great-grandfather, was a country gentry and landlord in our area. However, although there is no such thing as extreme exploitation, the habit handed down from ancient times, there is no such thing as a gentry and landlord who does not exploit hired workers at all, so, of course, there are also many hired workers who resent your grandpa, and also resent your grandfather and your second son. Uncle. However, all along, it has been peaceful, because the poor who rented the land like your grandpa can survive in the end, and there is no apparent resistance. Until "Speaking of this, Ying Ma paused .

After listening to her mother's story, Ai Xiao remembered that her grandpa was very knowledgeable, and her grandma once gave her some small jade ornaments. The family used to be pretty good, but it's not surprising that grandpa and grandma passed away within a month. , after his death, even the basic coffin was not left behind. Amidst the swearing by my aunt, Ai Xiao, who was already in junior high school at that time, felt incredible. My grandfather has always been a hardworking person. Although my grandmother did not participate in farm work, but, I will also do some small handicrafts to supplement the family, coupled with the occasional filial piety of the two aunts and my parents, even if the family has no savings, it should not be so poor.Maybe, Mom's words can untangle this mess.

"Later, the police came and the landlord was overthrown. Your great-grandfather passed away suddenly. On that day, I listened to the conversation between your great-grandfather and your second grandfather. It turned out that my grandfather, your great-grandfather did not die normally. , was killed by a creature called "Ji Gu worm". According to their description, this "Ji Gu worm" is exactly the same as the little thing just now, don't look at them as harmless, this is a legend The effect of the Gu insect. It will enter the human bone through the human skin and then reach the human heart. After it completely occupies all the bones of the person and devours the heart, the person will die suddenly. The time in between will not exceed Half a month. During the period, that person will suffer incomparable pain."

"Occupy the bones and devour the heart" Hearing that this little thing has such a terrifying effect, Ai Xiao was really taken aback. Although he and his parents are now invulnerable to all poisons because of taking the detoxification pill, this seems to be counted. For those who are not poisoned, I really don't know if the detoxification pill is effective or not.

"Mom, even my father hasn't seen such a powerful thing, and I shouldn't have never heard of it, right?" The question in Ai Xiao's heart has not been resolved, and more questions rush to her face.

"In fact, I heard this "Ji Gu worm" once at that time, and since then, I have never seen it again, and the case filing court has never heard of it." Sighing, Ying Ma continued,
"The "Ji Gu worm" didn't grow on our side originally, most people probably haven't heard of it, your dad would know and I'm also very puzzled."

"Then about my grandpa and grandma..." Regarding the sudden death of the two elderly people who loved themselves like pearls and treasures since they were young, it was originally because the grandpa and grandma had a good relationship and couldn't bear the sudden departure of their wife. Now that I think about it, It should also be affected by "and Gu insects". I remember with a smile, my grandfather has always been in good health. Although he was 71 years old at that time, he has always been healthy and pain-free. During the annual physical examination, all the indicators of his body are also in good health. It's normal, how could it be possible that at noon I made lunch for Ai Xiao who was studying, and Ai Xiao died before returning home at night.Now that I think about it, at that time, my grandfather seemed to have said that his bones hurt, but because he was in a rural area and he was an old man, it was not surprising that his body was a little sick. As a result, my grandfather left like this, and nearly 20 days later, The kind grandmother also left.Ai Xiao even became suspicious, Ai Xiao thought that her mother should not have discovered the hidden problems.

"Yes, the condition of your grandparents before death is exactly the same as that of your great-grandfather before his death. I don't know if your mother knows it, but your aunt and two uncles also know it."

"That's why she was so scared when it was my aunt's turn to keep watch for grandpa that day, and neither you nor the uncles proposed to accompany her." Thinking about it now, Ai Xiao suddenly thought that the little thing at that time was simply too much.

"How do you know?" Ying's mother was frightened when she heard her daughter talking about this.

"Because I wanted to visit my grandpa again that night, but I just heard about it." Ai Xiao didn't want to say that he was the one who accompanied his aunt to watch the coffin that day.

But if you love to laugh, it doesn't mean that Ying's mother can't guess, "Then did you stay with your aunt to wake up?"
