Chapter 190 Centipede Holding Eggs

I tried my best and pulled my hand out of Qiuju's hand and inserted it into my pants pocket.

"Qiuju, we have lived in Yin Village for more than half a year. We know each other well all the character. If they were other women in the village, I would have gone to it without hesitation. But if you did this, I would feel so angry that I dare not get close to you." I was not afraid that Qiuju would turn against me. On the contrary, if I accepted her easily, she would have suspicion for me.

Qiu Ju suddenly burst into laughter and reached out to push my chest: "Zhou Bo, you are so cute. Why didn't I find such a cute side to you before?"

"If you have any purpose, just say that the transaction between us is purer. If you can help, I will definitely help you. If you can't help, don't force it. After all, I don't want to die too early and too miserable!" I said straightforwardly.

Qiuju nodded: "You also know that I am in a dilemma now and will not have a good life to wait for me after leaving the village. So, I want to stay in the village, but the spokesperson can no longer tolerate me. I have to find a backer!"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but it is obvious that I will not be your backer, I can't help it!" I waved my hand.

"I don't hope to rely on you. Let me tell you the truth. What I want you to get from Gu Xiangxiang is actually an insect egg!" Qiu Ju said.

I immediately frowned: "Eggs? Didn't you tease me? Didn't you talk about herbs before?"

"Have you heard of Cordyceps sinensis?" Qiuju asked me back.

My mind was spinning rapidly, but I couldn't figure it out. Qiuju must be Cordyceps sinensis. What kind of insect eggs are combined with what grass? What is its function?

"Don't go around with me, can't you finish it in one breath?"

"I'm not sure if Gu Xiangxiang has been successfully cultivated, but she must be doing this." Qiu Ju said, "The spokesperson's blood centipede was passed down by her mother. She made her natal Gu, but this thing is not honest, so the spokesperson wanted to purify it with the marrow-cleaning fruit. A few years ago, this blood centipede fell in love."

"Oh my day, it actually has a estrus period!" It's incredible.

Qiu Ju sneered: "None of us had ever thought about this. At that time, the blood centipede disappeared for a while. The spokesperson was furious and searched everywhere. After all, it was a natal Gu. It would be gone if it was gone. This means that the spokesperson did not have complete control over it and was likely to be taken advantage of by someone!"

"Where did I find it later?" I asked. What kind of centipede was able to attract this blood centipede?

"That male centipede, one growing in the trunk of the big locust tree, sucking the juice of the big locust tree and the evil spirits of the corpses under the locust tree. She was like a snake. When the spokesperson of the Times, the blood centipede of the spokesperson was getting along with the male centipede in the locust tree. After being caught by the spokesperson, the spokesperson was angry and stripped the male centipede from the big locust tree and cut it off!" Qiu Ju said this, and kept smacking her lips, looking very sorry!

I also became interested: "What about it later?"

"Later, the blood centipede was caught by the spokesperson, carefully cultivated and became more and more obedient. You also know the current state, and it has become a weapon for the spokesperson!" When the spokesperson was fighting, he really relied on the blood centipede.

"Then what does this worm egg have to do?" I wondered.

Qiuju snorted coldly: "Seldom people know about this, and I encountered it once by accident. Gu Xiangxiang was guarding me like a thief, so I guess that, but I'm not sure. The spokesperson didn't know about this. The blood centipede was caught from the locust tree hole, and at that time, it was holding eggs."

"It's normal for centipedes to hold eggs!" Although the blood centipede is a worm, the mother Gu can also produce a selves. That egg should be the blood centipede's selves.

Qiu Ju shook her head: "The blood centipede has become a sperm. Before it was captured, it hid the egg. The spokesperson didn't know about it at all. At that time, the spokesperson was sent by Gu Xiangxiang and I to clean the scene. I didn't see the egg, but for a long time afterwards, I always saw Gu Xiangxiang go to the big locust tree, as if to absorb the trunk juice of the big locust tree. At that time, I realized that the egg was taken away by Gu Xiangxiang."

"This is just your guess. How can you be sure that the blood centipede has really laid eggs? You didn't see it with your own eyes." Qiu Ju's suspicion was so serious.

"No, I'm sure!" Qiu Ju said firmly, "Because not everyone can get close to the big locust tree at will, especially at night, you know more than me. Gu Xiangxiang risked her life many times and went to the big locust tree to draw juice in the middle of the night. Why? It is to provide the centipede egg with a suitable growth environment. After a few years, I'm not sure if the egg is still there, but I hope you can find it for me. As long as you find it, give it to me. In the future, you are in the Yin Village, I will cover you!"

Damn, why do you have such a big tone?

"Okay, even if there is really this centipede egg, what's the use of you?" I asked.

Qiu Ju said: "Of course it is useful. Centipedes are the most protective of their cubs. After they lay eggs, they always keep the centipede eggs around their bodies and never leave their mothers. The spokesperson relies so much on the blood centipede. If I use this centipede egg to pull the blood centipede away and control it, then I will control the spokesperson. What happened afterwards will be natural!"

"Your idea is too ideal. Even if you control the spokesperson, you can't beat Madam Zhang, the acting leader, or even Sun Jin. You will suffer the loss at that time!" I really didn't expect that Qiu Ju's ambition would be so great!

Qiu Ju sneered: "I was forced to do nothing. If the spokesperson protects me, I will not do anything. If she does not protect me, then I can only join Sun Jin. If Sun Jin accepts me, I have to show some sincerity, right?"

This is what seller wants honor, sacrifices his spokesperson, pleases Sun Jin, and successfully promotes to become a celebrity around Sun Jin. Qiu Ju's thoughts are too meticulous.

"Of course, if you help me get the centipede egg, I can guarantee that I will help you rescue Xia Xiaowei. Around the Blood Secret Festival, I will find a way to remove Xia Xiaowei's love insect poison and let you out of the village. I will do what I say." Qiu Ju increased the weight.

I waved my hand immediately: "You have to let me think about such a big thing, and I have to be sure whether Gu Xiangxiang has that insect egg."

"Since I tell you my big secret, I am determined to advance and retreat with you. We now have a common enemy. I think Zhou Bo, you will not betray me, right?" Qiu Ju was putting pressure on me.

I nodded: "Don't worry about this. I always want to tear up the spokesperson. It is impossible to easily miss such a good opportunity, but don't have too much hope, I will do my best."

Having said that, Qiu Ju and I reached a consensus. After parting ways, I returned to Gu Xiangxiang.

To be honest, until this time, my mind was still in a mess and I couldn't figure it out.

After a while, I realized that Qiu Ju’s purpose could be put aside first, because I don’t know if the centipede egg really exists.

Gu Xiangxiang is busy at the herb field now. At this time, it is also my best time to investigate. If you don’t do it now, Gu Xiangxiang will come back later and may not be able to do it.

Qiuju said that the insect eggs survived by sucking the juice of the big locust tree, and their current state should be similar to Cordyceps sinensis.

In other words, the upper layer should be the essence of the locust tree sap, and the lower end is the insect eggs, and even the small centipede that has long been hatched!

Such things cannot be placed in the main hall medicine cabinet, because the medicine cabinet is very sealed in order to keep the herbs dry and to prevent insects.

What Qiuju wants is to some extent, a living thing and is not suitable for such a living environment.

I looked through Gu Xiangxiang's place, upstairs and downstairs, but I really couldn't find what Qiu Ju wanted.

Finally, I even went to the secret room where I was locked in some time ago, and there was no such thing as this one.

On the contrary, I was covered in stinking sweat and my stomach was gushing, and it was already lunch time.

I thought about it, I would wash my hands and prepare to go to the kitchen to cook something for myself, and then look for it when I am full.

After making egg noodles, I sat in front of a small table, whispered and ate, and I was thinking about where the eggs would be hidden.

But I have found all the places I should look for, but I haven’t. Does Gu Xiangxiang’s house have a secret room? Or is it impossible to dig three feet into the ground?

After dinner, I cleaned the pots and bowls. There must be no tap water in Yincun. The water used is mountain spring water, which opens up the middle joints of the big bamboo and introduces the water to every household.

Every household will prepare a large water tank at home to collect water, which is convenient for use.

There are many bottles and jars in Gu Xiangxiang's kitchen, and there are more jars. Next to the large water tank that is loaded with water, there is a small water tank. I didn't notice it, but today I suddenly realized that this small water tank had never been opened.

However, this is like a small water tank that used to pickle bacon in our family. It may only be used in the cold winter. It is covered with a layer of gauze, with a lid made of wood pressed on it, and a small dustpan is placed on it.

I just glanced at this time, but when I reached out to put the cleaned dishes into the cupboard, some information suddenly flashed in my mind.

Centipedes like shade and live in dark and humid places all year round. When laying eggs, they like to hold eggs at the bottom of containers such as buckets and water tanks. They are very toxic and can even hunt poisonous snakes!
