C177 So It Was It
"If you are willing to learn, I will naturally be willing to teach. However... You can't stay too long. If you can stay for one or two years... I reckon that you'll be able to learn the properties, effects, and combinations of all the grass on this mountain. " Uncle Guo shook his head, and a regretful expression appeared on his face.
"We can, but I'm afraid you will find it annoying, Uncle Guo." Lin Yi purposely said the opposite to Uncle Guo, wanting to see how he would react.
"Ah, you guys. Ying'er said that she will be going back to New Year soon." Uncle Guo's expression was obviously a little surprised.
Lin Yi smiled evilly. "She wanted to go back to see me because I didn't come back at that time. Now that I am here, she can stay any time she wants."
"Oh, is that so?" Uncle Guo's voice fell.
"When the New Year is near, I will write a letter and bring Senior Feng here. I have not spent the New Year outside of the Central Plains yet." Lin Yi pretended to be very excited.
He saw Uncle Guo's gloomy expression and his gloomy eyes out of the corner of his eye.
"Uncle Guo, is it not convenient?" Lin Yi asked.
" Oh, no, no, it's not inconvenient. I'm afraid you think the Miao Camp is not as lively as the New Year in the Central Plains." Uncle Guo laughed.
"No, Uncle Guo." Han Ying chimed in from the side.
"Since you are back, we will leave. The door was open just now and there was no one there. We said we will leave after you come back." After Lin Yi said that, he got up and said goodbye.
"But, you came to find me. Didn't you come to find me for something?" When Uncle Guo thought of this, doubt appeared on his face.
"No, we came here on the way. When we saw the door open, we came in." Lin Yi looked at Han Ying and said.
He had achieved his goal. It was not important how he got here.
Uncle Guo smiled and sent the two of them off. He closed the door. He felt that today's matter was a little strange, but he could not understand why they had come.
Lin Yi and Han Ying returned to Han Ying's room. Lin Yi impatiently asked, "How is it? Did you smell it?"
Han Ying nodded. "Yes, it was this smell. The ashes you gave me smelled this smell."
"Now we can confirm that it came from Uncle Guo's room, but I still do not know what kind of smell it is." Lin Yi was a little disheartened.
Han Ying smiled and said, "I know."
Lin Yi's eyes, which had just darkened, suddenly lit up again. "Really?"
Han Ying nodded. "Didn't I tell you that I also smelled this smell before you came?"
Lin Yi nodded and motioned for Han Ying to continue.
"This is the smell of grass. That kind of grass is usually not used. So I didn't pay too much attention to it until I got closer to Uncle Guo's room. When I smelled it again, I remembered that on the third day of my arrival... I had smelled it before. It was at Uncle Guo's place. " Han Ying's tone carried some excitement.
"A kind of grass?" Lin Yi was a little suspicious. "It can't be Dragon Whiskers Grass, right?"
"Definitely not. It's not like you haven't seen Dragon Whiskers Grass before. Didn't you go to the mountain to look for it before?" Han Ying was a little speechless towards Lin Yi's wooden personality.
"Yeah, why am I so muddle-headed? What kind of grass is that?" Lin Yi continued to ask.
"It's the Bloodthirsty Grass." Han Ying smiled and said affirmatively.
"Bloodthirsty Grass, why is this name so familiar?" Lin Yi tilted his head, wanting to recall the memories regarding Bloodthirsty Grass.
"When you just came, Uncle Guo told you about it." Han Ying reminded him.
" Oh, right, it was that grass. He said if that grass was beside the Dragon Whiskered Grass, it will attract the venomous insect. The venomous insect is very small, and it won't be discovered or detected before it enters the human body." Lin Yi snapped his fingers, and he became even more energetic.
"That's right, it's the smell of that grass." Han Ying continued.
"In order to make sure nothing goes wrong, we will go to the mountain tomorrow to pick some herbs. We can't let them know. We need to pick some other herbs to cover it up." Lin Yi said to Han Ying.
"Don't worry. I am good at this. Uncle Guo also said that he would let me bring you to the mountain to pick herbs tomorrow. Isn't this good enough?" Han Ying said.
Lin Yi nodded. "It took me a long time. It turns out to be it. It seems that Uncle Guo really has something to hide from us."
"What is it?"
"At least it's about the Bloodthirsty Grass. Obviously, he doesn't want us to find out. Since the first time he smelled this strange smell, he pushed it away and said that he couldn't smell it. He intentionally hid it. He should have known at that time that it was the smell of the Bloodthirsty Grass. Moreover, it might have been from that moment on... Knowing that this wasn't an accident. " Lin Yi's eyes were glowing.
"But why did Uncle Guo do that?" Han Ying asked, not understanding.
Lin Yi shook his head. "I don't know about that either. Maybe after the mystery is solved, I will know the reason."
Han Ying suddenly asked very seriously, "Is our situation very dangerous now? According to what you said, Uncle Guo may also be one of the people who planted the Gu."
"No, Uncle Guo shouldn't have any intention of harming us." Lin Yi looked into Han Ying's eyes and said.
"How did you know?"
"If it's really harmful to your heart, he can make the poison in your body become more serious, so serious that it can't be treated, but he can control it in time and try his best to prevent the poison from spreading."
"However, the more you analyze, the more I feel that this Miao Village cannot stay for long. Why don't we find a reason to leave?" Han Ying said worriedly.
"No, I must investigate this matter clearly. Who is the one behind all this, and what is his purpose?" Lin Yi's attitude could not be violated.
"But..." Han Ying's worry did not decrease at all because of Lin Yi's determination.
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen. Besides, if we suddenly leave now, they will feel strange. If we really want to harm them, they will chase us even if they want to." Lin Yi comforted Han Ying.
"Alright, I will believe you. But if there is really a crisis that we cannot control, ___ said. Promise me that we will leave immediately." Han Ying's words made Lin Yi feel a gentleness that he had never felt before.
Lin Yi nodded. "I promise you."
An ambiguous atmosphere brewed in the air, making both of their cheeks blush. There were even some unknown feelings that grew in their hearts. The moon that the Miao village saw seemed to be even brighter than the moon in the Central Plains.
After saying good night to each other, Lin Yi left Han Ying's room. The moment he closed the door, it was as if Lin Yi had just returned from a dream to reality. Lin Yi felt that he wanted to experience that feeling again, which made the softest corner of his heart melt.
