Hunter Jiang wanted to help Zhao Kuo up, but he was pulled aside by Jiang Lin. "Father, he was the one who found the Pan Family. Why do you care about him?"
Hunter Jiang glared at Jiang Lin. This child had a bad temper and went ahead of himself.
"Brother Jiang, I was just being kind. When I saw Jiang Lin's red face, I did it to save the child." As soon as Zhao Kuo spoke, the wound at the corner of his mouth twitched. It was so painful that his entire face was distorted.
Jiang Lin was furious. "You're still spouting nonsense. Those people from the Pan family have already said that Old Madam Pan and her maidservant are poisoned. How dare you spout nonsense?"
"Shut up!" Hunter Jiang snapped at Jiang Lin. "Go back to your room!"
Jiang Lin glared at Zhao Kuo indignantly, as if saying, "Just you wait!"
Hunter Jiang glared at him and gave Jiang Lin a hard shove before Jiang Lin stormed into the house.
No one knew what Hunter Jiang and Zhao Kuo said, but Zhao Kuo left the Jiang family with a pale face.
Hunter Jiang found his son. "Tell me, what happened?"
Jiang Lin avoided Hunter Jiang's gaze guiltily and said, "Who knows what Zhao Kuo is thinking? Maybe he's crazy about money?"
"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Hunter Jiang had also noticed Jiang Lin's strangeness in the past few days. Coupled with what had happened today, he guessed that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.
"The chicken blood vine has to be soaked in wine and fried in boiling water to produce the color of chicken blood. Moreover, it won't fade easily.
Firstly, we didn't make wine with the Blood Chicken Vine.
"Secondly, if you had applied the chicken blood vine on your face at noon, you wouldn't have washed it so clean now. Are you sure you don't want to tell me the truth?"
Although Hunter Jiang's words were reasonable, Jiang Lin thought that since he had promised Yu Xiaolian to keep her secret, he could not tell anyone, including his father.
Jiang Lin changed the topic and said, "Father, we won't sell our prey to Zhao Kuo in the future."
Hunter Jiang sighed. "You're not going to tell me, are you? I'll go to the tomb on the second mountain tomorrow. I want to see what you're hiding from me."
"Go ahead. You won't be able to enter even if you go!"
After Jiang Lin finished speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth. When he saw his father's expression change, his face was ashen.
"Rascal, did you really go to that tomb? Do you want to die?" Hunter Jiang started hitting Jiang Lin without caring about his head or body.
In order to avoid being beaten, Jiang Lin jumped up and down in the room like a monkey.
"Father, I just went to take a look and didn't go in. The iron gate in the tomb is locked. Who can enter?"
Hunter Jiang suddenly sat down beside the brick bed with a serious expression. "You really didn't go in?"
Jiang Lin nodded. "No, I swear!"
It was Yu Xiaolian who went in, not him.
Hunter Jiang pulled Jiang Lin over and began to tug at his clothes. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Jiang Lin's body.
"I want you to swear never to go to that place again. If I find out that you've been there secretly, we'll sever our father-son relationship."
After the incident with the Longevity Gu worm, Jiang Lin finally managed to save his life. At this moment, he still had lingering fears and naturally did not want to go to that terrifying place again.
Jiang Lin solemnly swore, and Hunter Jiang said meaningfully, "I know it was Yu Xiaolian who saved you, but you have to stay away from her in the future, understand?"
Jiang Lin was stunned. "How did you…?"
"I've long realized that she's not an ordinary person. I knew it when Yu Changhe carried her back."
Hunter Jiang was puzzled. "I'm curious how she knew that her blood could save people. Could it be that she knew that she was a descendant of the Witch race? That's impossible!"
Jiang Lin was completely stunned. The pill that Yu Xiaolian gave him was indeed a red pill. When he ate it, there was a faint taste of blood. Could that be the antidote that Yu Xiaolian had made with her blood?
"Father, how do you know that Yu Xiaolian is a member of the Witch race? Why can the blood of a member of the Witch race cure the venom?"
Hunter Jiang recalled, "The day after Yu Changhe picked her up, I noticed that her eyeballs were different from ordinary people. The reason why the Witches have gray eyeballs is because every one of them has Gu in their bodies.
"Some people's eyeballs only have a small gray part, which means that the Gu in their bodies are beneficial Gu. If you encounter people with all gray eyeballs, you have to stay far away. That person's body might have the most poisonous Gu King."
"Father, how do you know so much? How many secrets do I not know?"
"You don't need to know too much. As long as you listen to me and stay away from Yu Xiaolian in the future."
Yu Xiaolian had just saved his life, and now he wanted him to abandon his savior. This was too despicable. He, Jiang Lin, could not do it.
"Yu Xiaolian's eyes are only one-third gray, which means that there's beneficial Gu in her body. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Beneficial Gu can be either child Gu or mother Gu. If her body has a child Gu, then the beneficial Gu in her body might become a poison Gu."
Jiang Lin said in shock, "You mean that as long as there's someone controlling the Mother Gu, Yu Xiaolian will…?"
"I'm not too sure about the details. Anyway, it's too dangerous to interact with the Witches. I don't want you to interact with her again."
Jiang Lin shook his head. "If you had told me this before she saved my life, I would have listened to you. But now that she has just saved me, I'm afraid I can't do as you say. Moreover, I've long recognized her as my adopted sister."
Hunter Jiang's face was sullen. It was hard to tell if he was crying or laughing. He muttered, "What an ill-fated relationship…"
…
…
Yu Changhe didn't mind that she was working slowly. Instead, he chuckled as he looked at Yu Xiaolian. The more he looked at her, the cuter she looked.
It was not until Zhao Kuo appeared with a swollen face that Yu Xiaolian jumped down from the wall with a smile.
Hmph, to think that my father treated you as his best friend, but you did something ungrateful for money. You really beat him up lightly.
Yu Changhe asked Yu Xiaolian curiously, "Why are you smiling so sneakily?"
Yu Xiaolian chuckled. "I'm happy. Thinking that Father's baskets can be sold for a lot of money, I can't help but laugh!"
"Wretched girl, you haven't seen the world. This broken basket is only worth five copper coins in town. Every family knows how to make it. What's so strange about it?"
Yu Ziyi had just returned from outside and happened to hear Yu Xiaolian's words. He couldn't help but mock her.
Yu Changhe said, "Brother Yi, this basket might be sold for seven copper coins in autumn!"
"Are you dreaming? Who will buy it for seven copper coins?"
Yu Ziyi waved the tofu he had just bought in front of Yu Xiaolian. "Are you hungry? I see that your mother cooks porridge every day. Sigh, how pitiful!"
Yu Xiaolian had tofu in her space, and it was custard tofu, but she didn't dare to take it out easily.
Over the past few days, she had secretly taken out some soy sauce and salt from the space and placed them in the small ceramic jar that Madam Sun had used to add seasoning.
As for other things, she did not dare to take them out casually. When she did not have the ability to protect herself, having such a supermarket space was simply a crime.
