573 Gu Powder

“He’s right.”

Old Wu was furious and could only say this.

Gui You said what he wanted to say first. There was no fun at all.

Su Xiaolu understood when she heard that, but she still had questions. She asked, “Are they infertile themselves? Also, what if both parties fall in love with others when they grow up?”

Although there was the Mother-Child Gu and they grew up together, it was not impossible for accidents to happen.

Su Xiaolu had read many stories about changed feelings in the many books in Zhou Zhi’s collection. Nothing was absolute in the world. Hadn’t there been any accidents when it was pa.s.sed down until now?

“Good question, girl. Accidents happen all the time.”

Old Wu smiled mysteriously and then said, “If one of them falls in love with someone else, the two sides will have to fight. Only one of them can live. Only the living can nurture a new successor.”

“If you want to change your fate, you have to pay a price. You’re Senior Brother and Sister, but you’re also husband and wife. You’re the closest people and also competing with each other.”

Gui You said in a low voice. Su Xiaolu had already grown up, so there was no need to hide these things from her.

Su Xiaolu understood. She thought of Chen Xi and Madam Tian and really did not expect them to have such a relations.h.i.+p.

Chen Xi and Madam Tian seemed to be very loving. The two of them were together day and night. There should not be anything between them that would cause them to fall in love with someone else.

As if knowing what Su Xiaolu was thinking, Old Wu waved his hand and said, “Girl, since ancient times, the human heart has been the most unpredictable. Don’t believe that anything can last forever.”

Su Xiaolu felt that it made sense. People would change as they grew.

It was said that one could never forget one’s beginnings, but how many people in this life could actually do that?

“Be sweet later. Madam Tian likes girls. They have many good things in their hands. Whether we can buy affordable good things will depend on you.”

Old Wu smiled like a sly old fox.

Gui You pursed his lips and nodded lightly.

Su Xiaolu thought about Madam Tian. She was very gentle. She had never seen a Gu worm before.

The three of them arrived outside Chen Xi’s house.

Su Xiaolu stood respectfully beside the two Masters and waited for their instructions.

Unexpectedly, Gui You grabbed Old Wu and flew across the courtyard.

Su Xiaolu was speechless.

Wasn’t this a little rude?

“Girl, stop standing there. Come in quickly.”

Old Wu called her from the courtyard.

“Uncle Wu, Uncle Gui You.”

Chen Xi smiled and greeted them.

Su Xiaolu flew in.

“Mother Yan, serve some dessert and tea.”

Chen Xi shouted into the room while he put down the shaving tools in his hands.

He was packing wood for the coffins. There was a large pile of wood shavings in the courtyard. He wiped his sweat with a handkerchief hanging around his neck and invited Old Wu, Gui You, and Su Xiaolu into the house.

“Little Chen, the three of us are here today to buy something good from you and your wife.”

Old Wu went straight to the point.

Chen Xi also smiled. “Sure.”

Madam Tian quickly brought some snacks and made tea. She was still very gentle. After she was done, she sat beside Chen Xi.

“Uncles, have something to eat first.”

Chen Xi first grabbed a few pastries. Under the table, Madam Tian had already secretly pinched him. He felt that pain and gasped, but he still ate the pastries happily. How could he be allowed to eat so much usually?

He could eat so much these two days thanks to the benefactors.

Old Wu and Gui You were used to it and did not move.

Su Xiaolu reached out and grabbed the remaining pastries. She smiled at Madam Tian. “Auntie Tian, the pastries you make are delicious. I love them.”

“Eat more if you like it. I’ll make some more for you when you get back.”

Madam Tian was very happy. She did not even look at Chen Xi’s bitter expression.

Su Xiaolu smiled brightly at Madam Tian.

Su Xiaolu quickly ate the pastry. It was very sweet, so sweet that she was sick of it. It was hard to imagine that a burly man like Chen Xi would like sweet things.

His wife, Madam Tian, did not seem to want him to eat too much.

When Su Xiaolu ate it, Madam Tian was very happy. Su Xiaolu ate a lot, so Chen Xi could not eat more.

For some reason, Su Xiaolu felt a little dizzy. She felt like she was drunk. The voices around her seemed to have softened. She was obedient and quiet as she listened to Old Wu, Gui You, and Chen Xi talk.

She couldn’t hear them clearly.

She saw Chen Xi get up and leave. Not long after, he came back with a box.

Su Xiaolu thought she was hallucinating. There seemed to be many insects in the box and they looked like they could move.

She rubbed her eyes. She could see better now. They were insects. They really could move.

Chen Xi opened the box and took out some powder packets. He said, “This is poisonous scorpion powder, this is five-step snake powder, and this is green frog powder…”

They were all poisonous insect powder.

Old Wu and Gui You took out the banknotes. Chen Xi was about to close the box when the box was carried away by Madam Tian. She casually grabbed a handful of pink packets. There were about four to five packets. She pointed at Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu saw her pointing at her and smiled at Madam Tian. Madam Tian also smiled.

Old Wu put away all the powder bags.

She smiled and stood up to send him off.

Su Xiaolu felt herself being carried on Gui You’s back. She wanted to speak, but she was so weak that she could not hear what they were saying. She just smiled.

When she left, Madam Tian even pinched her cheek. She did not know what she said, but from her expression, she could tell that she liked her very much.

After leaving the Chen family, they returned to the inn.

When Gui You put Su Xiaolu down, the girl was already asleep.

“This girl is really something else. Why isn’t she guarded against others at all? No matter how much you trust someone, you can’t trust them like this.”

Old Wu looked worried.

“You don’t trust the girl’s taste in people?”

Gui You asked calmly.

Old Wu snorted. “I won’t fight with you.”

Su Xiaolu trusted Madam Tian. To put it bluntly, she trusted him and Gui You.

Although they were master and disciple, there were also master and disciple who turned against each other and did not trust each other that much. Su Xiaolu trusted him wholeheartedly, and Old Wu felt as if he had eaten honey. He was just stubborn.

Su Xiaolu slept until noon on the third day.

When she woke up, she felt refreshed and hungry. She immediately asked the inn for a big bowl of noodles and quickly ate the whole thing. She said gloomily, “Master, Master Gui You, I feel like I’ve slept for a long time. I’m so hungry.”

Old Wu extended his hand. “You slept for three days.”

Su Xiaolu almost choked on the broth. She looked surprised. “Why did I sleep for so long?”

She remembered eating so many pastries, and it dawned on her.

Old Wu flicked Su Xiaolu’s head. “Let’s see if you still dare to eat it next time.”

“But I saw Uncle Chen eat a lot that day.”

Su Xiaolu was puzzled. The first day she went to look for Chen Xi, she only ate a small piece, while Chen Xi ate a whole plate. When she went with the two Masters the next day, Chen Xi was still working.

“He is raising Gu. You don’t have Gu. You’ll be drunk if you eat it,” Old Wu explained helplessly.
