C1410 Picking up a Treasure
Silence reigned. Everyone was staring at the wooden log in a daze. All they could do was to be shocked by this emotion!
Is this boy in front of me still as dumb as before? Such a terrifying Gu worm had been wiped clean by him in a few moments, and the silver light in his hand and that strange talisman, what was going on?
Everyone's expression when they looked at Mu Mu Mu was constantly changing. At this very moment, in their eyes, wood was nothing but silly wood. It was as if a deity had descended from heaven to the mortal world, causing them to feel a sense of dread.
"Astral Qi, Void Talisman crafting. Just who is this stupid kid?" Grandma Zhu remained silent. After looking at the ground dry from the hair Gu's burning, her gaze slowly returned to Mu. Her eyes were filled with doubt.
"Brother Mu Mu, you're so awesome!" Such a powerful insect, and it was taken care of by you in a matter of two or three moves! " Others feared Woodwood and felt that he was extremely mysterious, but no matter what sort of appearance he had, he was still the same dumb big guy who had pampered her and cared for her. He did not care about his shame and rushed over to hug Wood and said with a laugh: "I knew that you would be able to do it, Brother Woodpass."
But contrary to his expectations, just as she was about to hug him, Mu Mu suddenly dodged and dodged. This sudden change of events caused a chill to run through his heart. He looked pitifully at Mu Mu Mu.
Could it be that Brother Mu Mu has become smarter, and isn't he the same Brother Mu from before? Thinking up to here, he couldn't help but feel bitter. Lowering his head without a word, he wanted to walk into the crowd.
"I'm dirty, smelly, and can't be hugged. You can smell it too." Perhaps he had seen through what he was thinking, the wooden log once again became the same as before. He rubbed his hands together and said with a flushed face, "Hold on until I wash up!"
"Hug him right now, I'm not afraid of stinky!" With a laughter like the tinkling of silver bells, he rushed to Mu Mu's side and tightly hugged him, as if he was afraid that if he were to be careless, this Brother Mu, who loved him in the past, would follow the mountain breeze and float to the ends of the earth, where he would never be able to find Mu.
When Mu Mu saw An Lu's appearance, he wanted to pat the little girl on the head, but because of the battle with the hair Gu, his hands were covered with that disgusting mucus, and for a moment, he did not know how to put it away properly. He just kept laughing, and from the looks of it, he looked exactly the same as the silly Mu, and it even made people feel like he did not do what he did previously.
"You're too smelly, I'm not hugging you anymore!" Just as he hugged the log, he suddenly remembered something. Right now, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his small face flushed red and he looked around. Seeing that everyone was still in shock and didn't have time to pay attention to where he was, he heaved a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Soo Soo who was originally unconscious after the hair Gu left her body, finally regained her senses. She coughed violently a few times before looking around in a daze. She did not understand what had happened.
"Soo Soo …" Seeing this, Soo Soo's parents were instantly overjoyed. The two of them rushed to Soo Soo's side, tears in their eyes. She held them tightly in her arms as the whole family cried. Their gazes toward Mu were filled with gratitude.
If not for this silly tree, Soo Soo would have been tied up on the pyre, struggling desperately and being burnt to ashes. The two of them would have died from excessive grief.
Now that Soo Soo had gotten better, their family did not need to endure the pain of the white-haired man giving away the black-haired man. Being able to survive together with their three relatives was something that they had always thought of as foolish wood.
Hearing her parents' wails, Soo Soo gradually recalled what happened earlier. Due to the fight just now, she had exhausted all of her energy and became extremely weak. She gratefully looked at Wood for a few moments before fainting.
"Mu Mu, what happened to Soo Soo?" Seeing that Soo Soo had just gotten better, she fainted again. Soo Soo's parents immediately tensed up. They turned to look at the trees and asked doubtfully, "Did you not clean up all the Gu worms?"
Upon hearing these words, the villagers who saw that the situation had settled down and came over to watch the commotion were immediately taken aback. They hurriedly hid to a remote corner, afraid that Soo Soo would suddenly attack and harm them again.
"It's fine. It's because Soo Soo's body is too weak that she fainted again." Hearing the words of Soo Soo's parents, Mu hastily rushed to Soo Soo's side. He placed his hand on her pulse and slowly said. "Just help her heal her body once we get back. However, do not touch anything fishy for the next half month. Just drink some plain porridge."
The hair Gu that had invaded Soo Soo's body previously already possessed a little bit of spiritual awareness, and after the Gu poison entered her body, it had even grown from the flesh and blood essence of her body. After being tossed and turned by the hair Gu, if Soo Soo could still be alive and kicking like a normal person, then that would truly be evil.
Even the villagers who saw the scene just now felt extremely disgusted, not to mention Soo Soo who was the victim. The little girl had eaten the flesh of humans and had chewed into so much hair in her stomach. If he smelled any meat, he would be reminded of these disgusting memories. He was afraid that his body would never recover.
Hearing Mu Mu's words, Soo Soo's parents heaved a sigh of relief. They hurriedly kowtowed to Mu Mu, thanking him. However, Mu Mu was not willing to accept such a courtesy and hurriedly extended his hand to stop them.
The old couple grabbed onto Soo Soo with snot and tears flowing from their mouths. It was as though they were afraid that their precious daughter would encounter some trouble again. All of this happened too fast. If it weren't for the wood, they wouldn't even dare to imagine what would have happened.
"Mu Mu, thank you …." After being helped up by Lin Bai, Soo Soo's father had a complicated look in his eyes as he looked at the villagers around him. Today's events and the attitude of those villagers had truly made him sad. He then whispered his thanks to Mu.
"No need to thank me. It's what I should do." Mu Mu heard this and waved his hand. Then, a smile appeared on his face. He said slowly, "Uncle, don't blame everyone. They also didn't know that Soo Soo was infected by the Gu. They did it for the stronghold."
Hearing Mu Mu's excuse, the villagers, who were clamoring to burn the villagers, were now so embarrassed that they couldn't find a hole to hide themselves in. If Mu Mu hadn't insisted, they would have committed a grave mistake this time and would have been forever anxious for their conscience.
"I have." Hearing that, Soo Soo's father was momentarily stunned. Then, he nodded his head and forced out a smile. He nodded to the villagers around him, indicating that this matter should be cleared up and that there would be no further troubles in the future.
As the proverb goes, husband and wife were supposed to be in the same boat, but when great danger came, they would fly away on their own. In fact, they were just neighbors, so how could they take responsibility for them at such a critical moment?
Moreover, life always had to continue. The family of three could not leave the village, and they could not look up and see them. It was also impossible for them to continue living awkwardly like this. However, when they recalled those scenes from earlier, Soo Soo's parents felt greatly pressured.
"Don't stay here. After such a long struggle, Soo Soo's body is still weak. If she were to be hit by the wind, it would not be good." Remember what I said. In two days, Soo Soo should be fine. " After helping the old couple up, Mu comforted them with a few words of consolation. Then he said in a deep voice, "When Soo Soo wakes up, inform me. I would like to ask her about this insect poison."
He didn't know why, but after going through this upheaval, Mu Mu felt that there were a lot of doubts in his mind. It was as if a voice was telling him that he had once done something in the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. There shouldn't be any Gu worms here, but Soo Soo was now infected with the hair-Gu. This was completely inconsistent with his broken memories.
But these questions could only exist in Mu Mu's heart, he did not know to whom he should bring them up, nor did he know who would give him the answer.
The hair Gu of Soo Soo had appeared inexplicably. Furthermore, the look she had shown earlier was so terrifying that even as Soo Soo's biological parents, the two of them felt extremely terrified. Now that they heard Mu Mu's words, they were naturally extremely obedient.
"Brother Mu Mu, I'm fine too, right?" As he spoke, the stone that Soo Soo had bitten earlier was pushed to the front of the wooden log with a grimace. She pulled up her sleeve to show him her elbow area and said with a twinge of fear, "Brother Woodcarver, I won't become like what Soo Soo had just done right. Your excellency has a lot of experience. I have never offended you before. You must help me."
"What can you do for me? Go back and apply some medicine to your wounds. Just eat more meat to make up for it." Mu Mu chuckled as he shook his head. Then, he patted his shoulder and said, "However, you have to listen to me. In the future, do not make things difficult for Soo Soo!"
"Rest assured, I will definitely not make things difficult for Soo Soo." It was as if a heavy burden had been placed on Shi Yan's arm, and the pain caused by the blow to his arm would pierce into his bones, but he did not dare to say anything. He forced out a smile that was uglier than a cry, and said: "Moreover, I do not dare to provoke her, what should I do if I were to be bitten again!"
Mu Mu forced a smile and shook his head. He didn't say anything else and slowly raised his hand. He could tell that the incident this time had left a deep shadow in Rock's heart. He probably would not have the guts to provoke Soo Soo in the future.
"Wood is strong, it's strong!" Those villagers didn't dare to look down on him like they did in the past. In fact, they even went out of their way to curry favor with An Lun's parents, who had just taken in Mu Mu, and said, "You two really have accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune. To be able to meet Mu, you've really picked up a treasure!"
"Interesting, looks like I really picked up a treasure this time!" Looking at the wooden log that was being surrounded, Grandma Zhu muttered to herself. Afterwards, her face revealed a strange smile, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
