At this time, Granny Chimu was standing in the middle of the main room with a gloomy face.
Seeing Granny Smallpox coming, Granny Chimu finally showed a slight smile on her face.
"Sister, you're here!" Grandma Chimu greeted.
Granny Tianhua looked at Granny Chimu, snorted coldly, and angrily said, "Chimu, look at what you have done. Tell me, did you kidnap a woman named Zhao Xilan?"
Granny Chimu put away the smile on her face and looked at us unkindly.
After a while, she said to Granny Smallpox, "Sister, it seems that you have misunderstood. I have never met these people before, so how could I kidnap their friends? I think they are just making trouble for no reason. Sister, you'd better not believe their words. We don't know whether they are good people or bad people."
Damn it, she labeled us as "making trouble without reason" from the very beginning. This grandma Chimu is really sharp-tongued.
Lou Xiaoman, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said unhappily, "Grandma Chimu, stop using sweet words to deceive Grandma Tianhua. We have found evidence that you are harming people. Look, this shoe belongs to my apprentice, and it was found in your stilt house."
Then Lou Xiaoman took out the shoe that Gui Gu brought back yesterday.
But the Chimu Granny didn't even look at Lou Xiaoman, and continued to say to the Tianhua Granny: "Sister, what they said may not be true. They said I kidnapped their friend, but I said no. They said that the shoe is the proof, but I have never seen the shoe. I think they are accusing a good person."
"You...what did you say? Who are you accusing? It's obviously you who did something bad and kidnapped my apprentice. Look at you, you are already old, but you are still making excuses. I think you are really evil."
Lou Xiaoman said this angrily without giving in.
The next moment, the Chimu grandmother's expression changed. Suddenly, it became cold.
Granny Chimu's gaze shifted to Lou Xiaoman's face, and she angrily said, "Asshole, damned thief, what did you say? Don't you know how to respect your elders? Is this how you northern ghost-catching Taoists act?"
Lou Xiaoman had already taken out her magic weapon, the Yin-Yang Mirror, and was ready to take action.
I hurried forward and grabbed Lou Xiaoman, whispering to her, "Master Lou, this is someone else's chassis after all, we still have to be careful. You step back first, I'll talk."
Lou Xiaoman looked at me, her calm face turned pale with anger because of Grandma Chimu.
But Lou Xiaoman still listened to me and stepped back a little.
Then I took a step forward and went to the front of that Chimu grandmother.
I bowed to Granny Chimu and said respectfully, "I am Yang Tianyi, and I am honored to meet Granny Chimu."
Granny Chimu squinted her eyes and looked at me for a few times, then said slowly, "What's the matter? That stinky woman can't win over me, so you're the one who's trying to persuade her?"
I curled my lips and smiled, saying, "No, Granny Chimu, you misunderstood. I am not here to convince you. I just want to know why you kidnapped our friends. And I also want to know why you have been trying to harm us time and time again?"
Who would have thought that after hearing what I said, Grandma Chimu actually laughed.
She laughed and said, "Boy, you are really interesting. I have no idea what you and the others are talking about. Let me tell you, I don't even know where your friend Zhao Xilan is. I haven't kidnapped her either."
"So if you want to find someone, you should go somewhere else. You know, this place of mine is not safe.
Wait a minute, I will be unhappy and I will make you die miserably."
I was also angered by what Grandma Chimu said.
I angrily said, "Old woman, what nonsense are you talking about? We have found evidence that you kidnapped our friend. Are you still refusing to admit it? If you say you didn't kidnap anyone, we can search your small building."
Wang Jiuyang was standing next to me. When I said these words, I caught a glimpse of the small compass in Wang Jiuyang's hand. The needle of the small compass in his hand pointed to a room in this stilt house.
If Granny Chimu lets us search, we will definitely be able to find Zhao Xilan.
What is the key
The key point is that this Chimu grandmother will not let us search at all.
"Hey, brat, what did you say? You said I wanted you to search my stilt house. Who do you think you are? This is Miao territory, not a place for you to make trouble. I'm telling you clearly once, the person you're looking for is not here at all."
"If you continue to act unreasonably, don't hang up on me. I won't be polite!"
Having said this, Grandma Chimu slowly raised her hand.
We noticed that a golden poisonous insect appeared above her palm.
The Miao girl Qiu Shui who was standing nearby shouted, "Golden Silkworm Gu! Gu King! You actually raised your golden silkworm Gu into a Gu King!"
The brows of Granny Tianhua on the side also slowly frowned.
Zhang Chu also knew how powerful the Golden Silkworm Gu King was, and hurriedly reminded us, "Be careful, the poison of that Golden Silkworm Gu is the most potent. If you are bitten by it, there is no hope."
We all stepped back subconsciously.
The golden silkworm Gu seemed to be demonstrating to us by flapping its wings continuously.
For a moment, there was a buzzing sound coming from the main room, as if there were countless headless flies circling and flying in the room.
The golden silkworm Gu's entire body was golden, with a head that looked like a bee's. Its wings were transparent with a few golden spots. Its belly was bulging, and no one knew what it had eaten.
"What's up? Are you scared? If you are, get out of here right now!"
Granny Chimu said this in a cold voice, with sarcasm evident in her eyes.
Lou Xiaoman's face turned pale, and she angrily said, "Damn old woman, we will not leave. Unless you let my disciple go, I, Lou Xiaoman, will fight you to the death today."
But Granny Chimu didn't care about what Lou Xiaoman said. She gently stroked the wings of the golden silkworm Gu with her hand, raised her eyes slightly, stared at Lou Xiaoman with a teasing look, and said with a smile: "Just you?"
Lou Xiaoman was so angry that she was speechless.
At this time, Grandma Tianhua, who was standing aside, couldn't bear it anymore.
She raised her voice and shouted, "Okay, Chimu, stop it, don't use your golden silkworm Gu to scare people."
When Granny Chimu heard Granny Tianhua's voice, her eyes shifted to Granny Tianhua's face.
She said in a deep voice: "Sister, you don't have to worry about what's going on here. I didn't kidnap that person named Zhao Xilan at all. Since they came here to make trouble, they are ready to die. I will not let them go."
Granny Tianhua squinted her eyes, looked at Granny Chimu, and said slowly: "Chimu, since you didn't kidnap anyone, why don't you let them search this place. There's nothing important here anyway."
Chimu Granny's face turned cold, and she asked Tianhua Granny, "Sister, do you really have to go with me today?"
Am I doing something wrong? I've already said that the person named Zhao Xilan is not with me. Do you want me to say it a second time?"
At this time, Wang Jiuyang said, "Grandma Chimu, the needle on my compass is pointing to you. In other words, Zhao Xilan is here. Even if she is not here, I am afraid her recent disappearance is related to you."
After hearing this, Granny Chimu looked at Wang Jiuyang and asked angrily, "Who are you?"
Wang Jiuyang smiled awkwardly and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, do you dare to let us search this place of yours?"
Granny Chimu stared at Wang Jiuyang coldly. After a moment, she said, "Okay, since you want to search, I can let you search. But if the person named Zhao Xilan is not here, you must give me an explanation."
I thought it didn’t matter whether I confessed or not, the key now was to find Zhao Xilan.
I said, "Okay, tell us and we'll give it to you. Now let us find someone."
Chimu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile, and said: "Okay, since you want to find someone, then go find it. However, if you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke, it will be none of my business."
I ignored Granny Chimu and said to Lou Xiaoman on the side, "In that case, Master Lou, you should follow my uncle to find Zhao Xilan."
Lou Xiaoman nodded, and then left with Wang Jiuyang.
The rest of us all stared at Grandma Chimu and the golden silkworm Gu in her hand with caution and vigilance.
The main house fell into silence for a moment.
Time passes slowly.
About ten minutes later, the sound of fighting was suddenly heard from upstairs.
The voice contained the voices of Wang Jiuyang and Lou Xiaoman, I couldn't have heard it wrong.
"Chimu, what's going on?"
Granny Xiaohua questioned Granny Chimu.
Granny Chimu smiled and said nonchalantly, "I've already said that there are some people here that I shouldn't mess with, but these people just want to mess with them, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Seeing the sounds of fighting upstairs getting more and more intense, I quickly turned my head and said to the people behind me: "Let's go upstairs and take a look."
Afterwards, my master Zhang Chu and I led a group of people and rushed towards the second floor.
Seeing us leaving, Granny Chimu smiled and said to Granny Tianhua, "Sister, let's go. I have something to tell you. Let's go outside and talk."
Granny Smallpox didn't move, and said angrily, "Chimu, what do you mean? What do you want to do to those people?"
Granny Chimu smiled and said, "I don't want to do anything to those people. It's just that the person they are looking for is not here."
Having said this, Grandma Chimu slowly took out a bamboo plate from her body.
There were no words on the bamboo sign, just a picture of an eye.
The eye was open, it didn't look like a human eye, and it looked vivid, with a black glow.
When she saw the bamboo plaque, Granny Tianhua's brows frowned, and then she knelt down.
"Wu Miao Tianhua, pay homage to the gods!"
Qiu Shui on the side also knelt down hurriedly.
Why did Granny Smallpox kneel down
Because that sign is a token of the "Luodong Woman". In Miaojiang, Luodong Woman is the messenger of the "God", representing the will of the God. That bamboo sign is the symbol of the "God".
"Hehe, Sister Tianhua, now you know who kidnapped Zhao Xilan, right?!" Grandma Chimu said unscrupulously.
PS: Wu Miao is a general term for Bai Miao and Hei Miao.
