technical type

There is still a connection between the village and the outside, and in the towns below the mountain, people from the village often trade things. The ceramic pots that Li used to make Gu, apart from hereditary ones, were obtained by trading with the people at the bottom of the mountain. People don't know how to make porcelain.

Ji Mo knew how to do it, but he didn't plan to do everything by himself, it was too distracting, so when the jars were not enough and Li wanted to buy them herself, Ji Mo also asked to go along.

The old lady was a little worried. Generally speaking, apart from caring about the poisonous insects and leaving the village to collect poisonous insects, Gu masters would stay in the village at other times and would not hang out outside. Furthermore, with the Gu master's temper, In case someone offends Li, if Li poisons her directly, it will be troublesome to investigate.

"Why do you have to go by yourself?"

The old lady muttered as if talking to herself.

Usually, the things Li needs are given priority. Whatever she wants, the people in the village will bring them back to her when they go out. Unless there are really none, they will not fail to meet her needs.

"I'm going."

Li was like a willful and ignorant little girl, she bluntly stated her request without giving a reason.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say I wouldn't let you go." The old lady smiled and glanced at Li, as if looking at her own ignorant granddaughter who was arguing for a haircut, then turned around and ordered the boys in the village Lin, let them take care of Li and go back together.

Lin Shuang readily agreed. He often runs outside and has a few friends who can talk to him outside. He felt that this matter was a trivial matter, so he responded with a smile on Ji Mo's face, as if he wanted to please the future Gu master.

For the people in the village, they respect and fear Gu Masters, they usually don't get close to them easily, but they won't express their attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away after getting close. After Lin Ying went down, he saw It was inconvenient for Li to walk with the child in her arms, and she offered to hug Ji Mo.

"No, my child, I will hold it by myself."

Li refused very coldly.

Ji Mo smiled back at Lin, making Lin, who was so cold, smile again, stretched out half of his hand to crutch his head, and scratched his head.

The stockade is deep in the mountains, and the way out of the mountains is not easy, but for them, the speed is not slow, and people can already be seen by noon. Wait until the good things are traded, and then go back with the things, and they can catch up. Return to the stockade before night.

Li was a little out of breath, and her toughness had to change halfway. Ji Mo was already seven years old, and a half-old child was really not light.

Lin made another suggestion very naturally, Li hesitated for a while, and then reluctantly let go, letting him take Ji Mo and hold him in his arms.

Behind Lin was a basket filled with fruits and other items that could be used for trading. He could only hold Ji Mo in his arms. Ji Mo lay quietly on Lin's body. Looking at Li's expression, he seemed a little dazed. Looking at them, a complex look flashed past his eyes.

"Let's go, we're just ahead, not far away."

Lin walked a few steps without realizing it, and found that Li hadn't followed, looked back at her, greeted her, and showed a habitual smile.

"……Um."

Li responded, and followed silently. She didn't bring anything with her this time, and the biggest burden was Ji Mo. When Lin took Ji Mo, she felt relaxed, and her arms relaxed a lot, shaking them gently. , followed in Lin's footsteps.

Lin has a generous and cheerful personality, and loves to talk. He communicated with those people in the town, and he quickly finished the goods he brought. He turned around and asked Li what he wanted to buy. While talking, he was already going to the stall selling clay pots. .

Generally speaking, the raw materials for making Gu that Li needs are available in the mountains, and the only thing that needs to be relied on outside is ceramic pots, which are things that the village will not make.

Li also made a lot of Gu insects, otherwise there would be no need for those many ceramic jars, and they should be placed in different categories.

Li looked at the shop on the side, it was a shop selling clothes, the bright ready-made clothes could be seen from the outside, they were women's clothes.

Lin was about to ask Li how many clay pots she needed, but seeing her eyes, he smiled: "Go there first, I'll wait for you when I finish shopping here."

He didn't know Ji Mo's real gender, and only thought that the mother and daughter wanted new clothes. This kind of personal thing was obviously not in the scope of money in the village, so he didn't mean to go along with them to pay the bill.

"Ah."

Li nodded, took Ji Mo's hand and walked into the shop.

The clothes she was wearing were still the ones in the stockade, and she looked different from the people around her. The shopkeeper didn't care, and asked her what kind of clothes she wanted with a smile.

"I'll exchange this for you."

Li stretched out her hand, and at some point there was a golden silkworm in her hand, it was golden silkworm Gu, the bright color was beautiful, but it was also very scary.

The shopkeeper took a step back immediately, and said cautiously, "If you exchange this, you can go to the pharmacy to exchange it, but I dare not accept it here."

If you dare not touch something that kills you, how dare you pick it up?

"...Oh." Li replied thoughtfully, holding her hands together, as if she wanted to put away the golden silkworm. The shopkeeper was already breaking out in cold sweat at some point, and he still listened to things like Gu. As I said, I just didn't expect to see it.

This thing is very mysterious.

Ji Mo looked at it curiously, does Li really like these clothes?

But he knew that Li had never cared about these foreign things. They usually ate and drank with the old lady, and the clothes they wore were all given by the old lady. Li also made clothes with her own hands, but they were ready-made The embroidery with the characteristics of the village is added to the cloth.

Compared with these shops outside, these things are indeed not exquisite enough, but they also have a unique taste——Did Li suddenly change her preferences?

After going out, Lin had already bought ceramic jars and put them in the basket he brought, watching Li and Ji Mo come out, he asked, "Let's go?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to the pharmacy."

Li seemed to have listened to what the shopkeeper said, and wanted to use the Golden Silkworm Gu to exchange money at the medicine shop. Lin didn't know, and thought Li wanted to buy some medicinal materials, but he didn't know either, so he didn't dare to buy for her, so he took someone there.

When he went in this time, Ji Mo was still with him, and he found that Li really came out with some money, and was a little surprised, did he really like that dress?

But when she went back, Li never went to that shop to buy clothes again, as if everything was no match for her love of money.

Ji Mo didn't understand. After walking around with Bai, he couldn't bear the sleepiness. On the way back, he was hugged by Lin and fell asleep.

Since that day, Li has fallen in love with shopping, she always goes to visit every few days, Ji Mo follows every time, and finds that Li is really curious, she will look everywhere, seeing that they have eaten The kind of dim sum that I bought, I will also buy it specially.

Since the first time, she also understands that Gu worms cannot be traded directly, so she will first go to the pharmacy to exchange them for money, and then use them later.

Ji Mo always felt that this practice of exchanging Gu worms for money was a bit out of line, but Li didn't tell the old lady, and Lin didn't know whether he understood it or not, and didn't say it, so Ji Mo didn't talk too much.

After going there three times in a row, Ji Mo finally understood what Li was doing.

She is experimenting.

Cast the venom quietly, and see how the people who have been tricked will react. Try one or two at a time, because her movements are concealed, and many venom can be made into powder, which is effective when inhaled. Intentionally, the victim is almost unaware.

Ji Mo gasped when he found out, no wonder the old lady had doubts about Li leaving the village, such a temperament, really...

"Auntie, are you..."

Ji Mo wants to ask.

Li covered his mouth, and it was rare that there was a little childish activity in his eyes, "Don't say it, let's just take a look."

Different types of Gu poison show different states, depending on the physique of the poisoned person, they can also have different manifestations, some symptoms are milder, and they think it is a common disease, go to the pharmacy to grab medicine, maybe it will be fine in a few days, Some are more serious, and it is not uncommon for them to be so serious that they die suddenly.

Li didn't go to see the scene of their sudden death in person, she might not be able to see it by chance, she could only hear the feedback from the people around her, and the objects she chose were all shopkeepers of that kind of shop, so if there was any change, no As for other little people, no one knows, which shop is not open, or the shopkeeper is not seen after opening, it is all clear at a glance.

There are always people around talking about it, as long as you walk around, you can get a general idea, and then infer the time of the poisonous attack, so as to judge the toxicity and so on.

It is really a new experience to use human life to test medicine like this.

Ji Mo felt like an accomplice, Li's method of poisoning was not clever, as long as he knew what she was holding in her hand, and looked at her movements, it was easy to deduce that she was almost spraying the powder in front of her face. If the range is larger, it will naturally bring a gust of wind, and the medicine powder pinched on the palm of the hand will be scattered like this. People who have passed have dropped poisonous powder.

She walked calmly, without speeding up her pace, just like an ordinary guest who came to wander around. Who can think of more?

The people here are used to dealing with the people in the villages on the mountain, even if they are not alert to her bright clothes.

Open the door to do business, what kind of people can't meet?

This kind of careless thinking made Li's success so easy.

"Aniang, it's not good for us to do this."

Ji Mo wants to dissuade him, and wants to know the results of drugs. Indeed, there is nothing more intuitive than experimenting with human beings. But if this kind of intuition is at the cost of human life, then... His morality can accept the use of death row prisoners, but not It should be these ordinary people who live hard.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, they won't all die."

It was rare for Li to show a bright smile to Ji Mo, "That's what my aunt taught me, and you should learn it too."

Ji Mo was startled, such an inheritance?
