Gu Yun Wan wasn’t a little girl and wasn’t scared by Taji Guli’s actions. She had experienced too many storms. In just a moment, she determined her current situation. She only knew Longze Jing Tian amongst the three. When Nan Feng attacked Xi Qi, she had seen Longze Jing Tian from afar.
Now, Longze Jing Tian appeared at White Bird mountain. This made Gu Yun Wan feel very surprised. When she looked at Taji Guli, Gu Yun Wan had once seen her on the wanted poster in Bei Zhou. She didn’t expect that they ganged up together. Really birds of a feather flock together!
“You want to kill me?” Gu Yun Wan sneered.
“Here is White Bird mountain and the territory of the Qiang tribe. If you kill me, you also won’t have a good outcome! My father won’t let you off! Perhaps now, my father already knows that I had been kidnapped and the whole village had been moved to search for me. It won’t take long before they find me and also find you!”
What Gu Yun Wan said was exactly what Longze Jing Tian was worried about.
He didn’t want to die. Gu Yun Wan was right. Even if they kill her, they wouldn’t have any good outcome. Instead, they would anger Gu De and bring a bigger trouble to them. However, Gu Yun Wan is a living person. It’s very difficult to hide her. What should they do?
“On the way here, I saw a deep hole left by hunters at the side of the mountain. Let’s threw her there and cover her with leaves. Then, threw some bodies of dead animals with her to use the smell as cover. No one will find her.”
The one who spoke was Duyi. He once used this trick to deal with aa disciple who was in conflict with him. It worked well. When that person was discovered, he had already died for a long time from lack of water. No one had ever found out that this was done by him.
Duyi’s idea made Gu Yun Wan startled. This man was really vicious. He was actually able to come up with such an idea. Not only would the smell of rotting flesh eliminate the idea of people to inspect but it would also attract beasts. He did this just to get more time for them and let her die in the hole.
“This idea is not bad! Let’s do it like that!” Longze Jing Tian quickly understood the meaning of Duyi’s words. He let Taji Guli block Gu Yun Wan’s mouth. Gu Yun Wan wanted to struggle, but her limbs were bound. She simply couldn’t go against Taji Guli’s brute force.
Gu Yun Wan whose mouth was blocked by a cloth didn’t brutally fight back but instead she huddled quietly. She held her hands behind her body. In her heart, she was silently reading a gu spell. A small worm came out from her fingertip. When it fell on the ground, it merged with the grass. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t see it.
“Let’s go!” Duyi went forward, put Gu Yun Wan on his back and carried her out of the cave. The three soon found the deep hole left by the hunters. Duyi hit Gu Yun Wan’s acupuncture point. Then, he took something to put in her mouth and threw her on the ground. Taji Guli cut a lot of green branches and threw them inside the hole.
The layers of leaves obscured Gu Yun Wan. Duyi threw a few dead rabbits inside. The rotting smell was released in a short time. After doing these, Duyi inspected for the last time before he clapped the dust from his hands and left with Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli.
Bastard! Gu Yun Wan smelled the rotting smell and wanted to vomit. She now had some regrets for not learning the study of the gu from Gu De when she was young. Otherwise, it would’ve been a piece of cake to deal with these three people; if it was like that, how would she be in such a sorry state now?
Gu De originally put two gu on Gu Yun Wan to let her protect herself in the palace of Nan Feng. It was just, after Ming Yue Cheng ascended the throne, Gu Yun Wan felt that there was no need and returned the gu to Gu De.
The gu she released just now was a gu Gu Yun Wan raised from a young age. Unfortunately, usually she was too lazy to train it. That gu was just a small larva, didn’t have much power and also couldn’t protect her.
Now, the only thing that Gu Yun Wan hoped was that her gu could fly back to the village and bring people to save her.
However, Gu Yun Wan was also not sure whether this thing will succeed. After all, here was too far from the village. Her gu was too small. It was difficult to say if it had the ability to fly back. Besides, there were many birds in the woods. They were the natural enemies of worms. Although, birds were also very afraid of the gu but her gu was too small and didn’t have much destructive power. Then, she would be really without aid.
Gu Yun Wan lay alone in the stinky cave. She wasn’t able to move. The dead rabbits next to her gave off a bloody smell. She knew that before long, this bloody smell would become a rotting smell and would attract a variety of snakes and worms. If by that time she still can’t leave here, she would really be buried here.
At the village, that Gu Yun Wan was missing spread throughout the village in a short time. Everyone gathered at the square in the village.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened. Men, women, children and elders were all holding torches and prepared to search for Gu Yun Wan. The daughter of the chief was missing. Moreover, she had been kidnapped in their village. To the people of the Qiang tribe, this was absolutely intolerable.
“Chief, don’t worry! We will definitely find great miss!”
In the end, the elders stayed at home to look after the children. The middle-aged group grouped in ten people, held a torch and went up the mountain to search for Gu Yun Wan. Feng Qi Qi needed to take care of Feng Xiao, so she also stayed. Feng Cang joined the team of looking for Gu Yun Wan.
“Great miss! Where are you?! Great miss!”
A string of long torches with the shouts of people echoed in the forest.
Gu Yun Wan who was thrown into the deep hole heard her name half-consciously. She wanted to answer but was unable to make a sound. She wanted to sit up, but her acupuncture point had been blocked. At this time, Gu Yun Wan couldn’t do anything. She could only worry helplessly.
“Great miss! Great miss!”
Everyone searched carefully on the mountain. They didn’t let go of any place, including the holes dug for hunting. Hearing that the sounds were getting closer and closer, Gu Yun Wan was very excited. She wished she could shout, “I’m here.” However, she couldn’t move at all.
The torches gathered around the deep hole where Gu Yun Wan was located. Some people looked inside. Several people came together. The people looked for a while and only saw some leaves and shadows and also smelled the rotten smell. “There’s no one!” Someone shook his head.
After hearing this Gu Yun Wan got anxious. I’m here! I’m right here! Gu Yun Wan was very anxious but she could only feel the disappearance of the light of the fire. The surrounding had become quiet again.
Bastards! Now, Gu Yun Wan hated Longze Jing Tian’s group very much. These three people actually hid in White Bird mountain. They are certainly doing disadvantageous things to Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. Now, she was trapped here and there was no way notify them. She hoped that her small gu could go back!
One night had soon passed. The people of Qiang tribe who had searched for a whole night didn’t find Gu Yun Wan. After the sky became bright, everyone returned to the square of the village. When Gu De heard this news, he almost fell. Fortunately, Ming Yue Cheng supported his back.
Just the thought that his only daughter had been kidnapped and her whereabouts were unknown, Gu De felt anxious. His eyes were bloodshot. He had never been so panicked before. Even when Gu Yun Wan married into the palace as hostage, he wasn’t this worried.
“Uncle Gu De, go rest a bit. We will go search once more. Now, it’s during the day. It would be easier to search. I believe that it won’t take us long before we will find little Wan.” Seeing the tiredness in Gu De’s eyes, Ming Yue Cheng supported Gu De while comforting him.
Gu De rejected Ming Yue Cheng’s good intentions. “No! Little Wan hadn’t been found. I can’t sleep. I’m worried that something will happen to her. I want to go with you!”
Gu De’s eyes made it impossible for Ming Yue Cheng to refuse him. Gu Yun Wan had lost her mother from ever since she was young. Gu De was a father and a mother and raised Gu Yun Wan. He held her in his hands, fearing that he’ll break her. He cherished her in his mouth, fearing that he’ll melt her. How could Gu De not be worried now that Gu Yun Wan had been kidnapped?
“Chief, don’t worry! We will definitely find great miss. Guys, don’t you all think so?!” “Yes! Chief, don’t worry!”
Everyone didn’t rest for the whole night. They hurriedly filled their stomachs. A new round of search began again.
White Bird mountain was very large. It would take half a day to search the entire mountain. Jin Mo followed the people of the Qiang tribe into the forest. Although, it was spring, but the weather wasn’t that warm. However, the people of the Qiang tribe lived in the south and White Bird mountain was a dense forest. Not long after, everyone’s back was full of sweat.
“Great miss!” “Little Wan!”
The sounds echoed in the mountain. After Gu Yun Wan who was in the deep hole persisted for one night, her mouth and tongue were dry. She was thirsty and hungry. At this time, she didn’t have the strength she had before. Even if she heard those voices, she couldn’t respond.
Another day had passed. The people who had returned still didn’t find Gu Yun Wan. This time, Gu De got anxious. “How could this be? Little Wan disappeared. Could she had been taken away by Longze Jing Tian? What does he want to do?”
Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi felt very guilty about Gu Yun Wan’s abduction. The ones Longze Jing Tian probably hated were them. Naturally, he didn’t want Feng Xiao’s gu to be cured. Now, because of the matter of curing the gu, Gu Yun Wan got involved in this. These two people felt very guilty.
Deep in the forest, the small group of Jin Mo were still looking for Gu Yun Wan. A whole day had passed. It was already evening. Jin Mo drank some water at the spring and wiped his mouth. They searched for such a long time and still hadn’t found Gu Yun Wan. Could there be some places that they had missed? Just when Jin Mo was thinking about this, a green worm climbed on his hand.
“Goo, goo, goo, goo…” the small worm weakly flicked its wings and made “googoo” sounds.
Jin Mo had seen this worm before. Before, at Bei Zhou, in order to study the gu Jin Mo asked Gu Yun Wan to release her gu. The appearance of that one was exactly the same as this one.
“Do you know where Gu Yun Wan is?” When he saw the small worm, Jin Mo was very surprised. He immediately called the other people.
“This seems to be great miss’s gu!”
“That’s right! It’s great miss’s!”
The small worm lingered in the left hand of Jin Mo. It looked very pitiful.
“Goo, goo…” The small worm was not a human being. It couldn’t talk. It could only make sounds.
“You want me to go save little Wan?”
The gu fanned its wings and flew.
“Follow her. Maybe we can find great miss!” Jin Mo followed behind this little worm. It fanned its wings with all its strength, but it was too weak. A while later, it fell on the ground.
“Great miss’s gu is still a larva. It can’t fly for too long. It must be that great miss encountered trouble and let the gu come back to tell us!” Someone went forward and wanted to pick up the small worm, but he didn’t expect that the small worm would flash its wings ad fell on Jin Mo’s hand.
“Young master Jin Mo, it seems that great miss’s gu trusts you! I have to trouble you!”
Jin Mo nodded and gently stroked the wings of the small gu. “Since you can’t fly, then tell us the direction. If we go in the right direction, then make sounds, alright?”
“Goo, goo…” The gu agreed and nodded.
Jin Mo sent someone to go notify the village. He took the other nine people and followed the gu’s instruction to find Gu Yun Wan.
“Googoo!” “Googoo!”
The gu continued to make sounds. Jin Mo let people follow the sound to distinguish the direction. They travelled back and forth through the forest. It took a long time before they came to the deep hole.
“Googoo, googoo!” When they got here, the gu made fiercer sounds. It even jumped from Jin Mo’s hand and fell on the ground. It directly climbed into the deep hole.
“Great miss is inside!” Jin Mo immediately understood the gu.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Someone lit a torch, and another used the surrounding vines to make an ordinary rope.
“I will go down. Wait here for me!” Jin Mo grabbed the vines and went down the hole.
“Weng….” A group of bats saw that someone came and flew away immediately. The blood and rotten smell filled Jin Mo’s nose and made him startled. The bats love the smell of blood the most. These bats came to eat in the hole. Could this blood be Gu Yun Wan’s? Nothing happened to her, right?!
Jin Mo held the torch with one hand and the other moved the branches and leaves.
“Little Wan?!” When he saw the woman lying on the ground, he shouted, “Great miss is here. We found great miss!”
When the people at the entrance of the hole heard that Gu Yun Wan was found, they were very excited. Jin Mo checked Gu Yun Wan and found out that only her acupuncture point had been hit. He immediately released it and also took away the worn-out cloth from her mouth.
“Are you alright? I will check for you!”
“I, I can’t move,” Gu Yun Wan said with difficulty. She had been in this position for a day and a night. Her blood wasn’t flowing well. Her whole body was completely numb.
Jin Mo immediately helped Gu Yun Wan improve her blood circulation. After massaging for a long time did Gu Yun Wan’s limbs gain some of their sense of feel back.
“Don’t move, let me piggy-back you back to above!”
Jin Mo reached out and put Gu Yun Wan on his back. Then, he climbed with the help of the vines to above.
“Great miss, it’s good that you’re alright!” “Great miss!”
The others gathered around and helped Jin Mo put Gu Yun Wan down. Jin Mo once again checked Gu Yun Wan carefully. He wrapped the wounds on her body and knelt down to rub her legs that had been stiff for a long time.
“How is it? Why doesn’t my legs have any feelings yet?”
“It’s just that the blood isn’t circulating well. So, it’s a little bit troublesome. Let’s go back and talk then!”
Jin Mo was a doctor. Even if Gu Yun Wan felt that something was not right, she still chose to believe Jin Mo.
Immediately someone made a simple chair from the branches and vines. Jin Mo put Gu Yun Wan in the chair. Then, the group hurried back to the village. When they were halfway, some people came to pick them up. After Gu De got to know that Gu Yun Wan was found, he personally rushed over. When he saw Gu Yun Wan in the chair, Gu De was very excited.
“It’s good that you came back! It’s good that you’re fine!”
When they were back in the village, Jin Mo found an opportunity to talk to Feng Qi Qi. “Junior sister, something is not good!”
“What’s the matter?” Feng Qi Qi was a bit puzzled. Why was is not good that Gu Yun Wan is found? “Senior brother, what happened?”
“Gu Yun Wan’s acupuncture point had been hit and she had been thrown into the hunting hole. She hasn’t moved for a whole day and night. The blood in her limbs isn’t circulating well, maybe…”
Jin Mo hasn’t finished speaking, Feng Qi Qi already understood what he meant. Long-term immobility caused the blood to not circulate well. The nerves were oppressed and would cause necrosis. Could it be that such a thing happened to Gu Yun Wan?
“Senior brother, let’s go take a look!”
Feng Qi Qi handed Feng Xiao to Su Mei and hurried with Jin Mo to Gu Yun Wan’s room. At this time, Gu Yun Wan had bathed and put on clean clothes with the help of her maid. However, her right hand and feet still have no feelings.
When she saw Feng Qi Qi, Gu Yun Wan had an ominous premonition. She knew Feng Qi Qi’s ability. Now, Feng Qi Qi came over and her expression was so serious, could it be that something had happened? When she looked at Jin Mo, although his expression hadn’t changed, but his eyes were not right. Gu Yun Wan wasn’t a fool. They were both famous doctors. The two came at this time and with these expressions, it didn’t seem like they came to chat with her.
“Qi Qi, are my legs ruined?” Gu Yun Wan asked when Feng Qi Qi wanted to examine Gu Yun Wan, making Feng Qi Qi startled. Feng Qi Qi laughed, “No, I just came to see you! Besides, even if there’s something, I will make you safe and sound!”
After Feng Qi Qi said this, Gu Yun Wan knew that there really was a problem with her legs. After Gu De heard the talk between Gu Yun Wan and Feng Qi Qi, he also moved closer to them. “Princess, if you have something to tell, tell us directly. What’s the matter to my Wan er1?”
“Chief, keep calm! I was just not sure, so I brought my junior sister to confirm the diagnosis! Don’t worry, with me and my junior sister here, nothing will happen to great miss!”
After Jin Mo said this, Gu De’s face sank. “So, something is wrong with Wan er?”
Feng Qi Qi didn’t say anything. After checking Gu Yun Wan once again, she stood up.
“Qi Qi, is it that I can’t walk anymore? And my right hand can’t move anymore?” Gu Yun Wan couldn’t accept this reality. This way, wouldn’t she become a rubbish?
“Little Wan, don’t think so bad of things. Your legs and right hand only temporarily lose their feeling. Trust me, you will be the same as before.”
“Really? You didn’t lie to me?” Gu Yun Wan didn’t believe it. From the moment she had been rescued by Jin Mo till now, her legs and right hand didn’t have any feeling. Isn’t this disability?
“If you lie to me, I will hate you!”
“Believe us, nothing will happen to you.” Seeing Gu Yun Wan like this, Jin Mo squatted in front of her. “You need to cooperate well with the treatment, so that you can restore your health. You have been in the same position in the hole for too long. So, the blood isn’t circulating well in your body and caused the current condition of your body. With acupuncture plus rehabilitation, your will restore your health soon!”
The words of Jin Mo calmed down Gu Yun Wan’s giddiness. She stared into Jin Mo’s eyes. “Jin Mo, you won’t lie to me?”
“I won’t lie to you. I and junior sister will definitely cure you!”
After comforting Gu Yun Wan for a long while did Feng Qi Qi left. Gu De followed behind Feng Qi Qi. The two walked for some distance before they stopped. Feng Qi Qi explained the reason why this condition had happened to Gu De.
“Qi Qi, what do you mean with the vascular necrosis of the calf? How much chance does Wan er have at recovering? How long will it take to recover?”
“At least half a year.”
“Half-year?!” Gu De’s heart immediately hung on the air. “You said half-year?”
“Chief doesn’t believe in my and senior brother Jin Mo’s medical skills??”
“I…I believe you.” Gu De didn’t expect that things would be so bad. Half-year, how could Gu Yun Wan accept it?
Feng Qi Qi saw Gu De’s worries from his expression. She quickly comforted him, “Chief, I only estimated the period roughly. As long as little Wan coordinate well with senior brother’s acupuncture and my message, perhaps it wouldn’t take so long. Little Wan is a strong girl. Nothing will happen to her, believe me!”
Feng Qi Qi’s words were very sincere letting Gu De slowly put his fears down. Now, the one he hated the most was Longze Jing Tian. Not only did he kidnap Gu Yun Wan, but also harmed her like this. “All the blame is on Longze Jing Tian! I must find him and kill him!”
