The Old Shopkeeper, seeing the situation, grabbed the large bowl filled with Gu Insects and quickly poured it into the fire pit...
"Sizzle...!"
The little Gu Insects fell into the fire pit, letting out a piercing scream, and in the blink of an eye, turned to ashes.
Xuexue’s two n watched in horror. These were the legendary Gu Insects that parasitize human bodies, feeding on blood daily. It’s simply terrifying.
The little kid lying on the platform, his once big belly disappeared in an instant. He could finally close his mouth and let out a loud cry...
"Wah wah...!"
The villagers who just walked into the inn were searching room by room. Upon hearing the cries of the little kid, they were instantly furious. The kidnappers of the little kid were indeed hiding in the inn, so they all ran towards the room, kicking the door open with force, and rushed in...
Inside was a cloud of smoke swirling around. After a mont of focus, they saw a table in the middle of the room with an incense burner on top. In front of the incense burner lay a crying little kid.
"Oh my, it’s my Lao Er." A young woman in the crowd recognized the little kid on the platform as her own and imdiately went mad, rushing forward to grab the little kid in her arms, muttering, "Little Darling, Mama missed you so much, where have you been all this ti? How did you get so skinny?"
The little kid was pale and emaciated, just skin and bones.
The young woman held the little kid in her arms and after muttering to herself, she lifted her head, glaring fiercely at the Old Shopkeeper, cursing, "You vile trafficker, you dared to abduct my little kid and abuse him like this. You heartless trafficker, I’ll beat you to death today."
After speaking, she handed the little kid to a man beside her, rolled up her sleeves, and wanted to rush at the Old Shopkeeper.
The Old Shopkeeper, having just helped a little kid solve the Gu, was about to help the next one when the door was suddenly kicked open rudely, and a large group of people poured in, startling him greatly.
"Who... who are you people?" Shocked by the fierce young woman before him, the Old Shopkeeper was extrely startled.
The young woman, rolling her sleeves, said fiercely, "Who are we? You abducted my child, and you still ask us who we are?"
After speaking, regardless of the Old Shopkeeper’s reaction, she wanted to rush up and beat him.
The two won beside the Old Shopkeeper imdiately stepped forward to stop her and said, "Madam, you’ve got it wrong. The Old Shopkeeper isn’t a trafficker. He’s saving these little kids! Didn’t you see? Their bellies are huge, full of Gu Insects. If they aren’t saved, they have no way out."
The two won spoke while pointing to the dozen little kids on the bed.
These two won were the confidants left behind by Xuexue to assist the Old Shopkeeper.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and indeed saw that there were still a dozen little kids lying on the bed.
Upon approaching the bedside and seeing them, everyone’s jaw nearly dropped. These little kids had mouths full of insects and their bellies were bulging.
They looked pitifully at them.
"Wh... what exactly is going on here?"
Everyone, shocked, could barely speak coherently.
The two won pointed at Zhao Yin: "Ask him. He’s the one who orchestrated this. He knows best."
Villagers: "But, isn’t this person drunk? Can we trust what he says?"
Woman: "Haven’t you heard? Truth cos out when drunk. His words can absolutely be trusted."
