Chapter 174

The three of them stayed up until dawn with their eyes open.

Su Qiaoer and I dozed off for a while, and Ah Shi basically stayed with us the whole time.

In the morning when the clansmen delivered the meals, Ah Shi consciously hid himself.

After the tribe left, he threw the food into the forest.

Today is the day when grandma is buried.

All the people wear sackcloth and filial piety.

Follow the coffin without crying or fussing.

I wanted to follow, but was stopped by the moth.

"Xing'er, burial is such a taboo thing, so don't follow me."

As soon as I said this, a burst of noise spread from a distance.

I glanced at Su Qiaoer, and hurriedly followed the tribe.

I saw an old man kneeling under a tree.

With a strange kneeling posture, hanged there.

The corner of the mouth raised a strange arc.

"Let's bury together!"

Crow Moth said this lightly, and lifted up the corpse together with others.

Finally, it was put into grandma's coffin.

Watching the crowd carry away the coffin, I was in a daze for a long time before returning to my senses.

Back in the stockade, I happened to meet Wumei carrying a basket.

Remembering what Wu Mei said last night, I hurriedly stopped her.

Ke Wumei seemed very conflicted.

"I told you to leave a long time ago!" Wu Mei mumbled, "If you had left last night, she would not have died today."

"Why?" I grabbed Wu Mei.

"Heh! Take them to the funeral and leave here quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave!"

Wu Mei stuffed the basket of weeds into my hand, "Leave when you're full!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Mei turned around and left in a hurry.

As for Su Qiaoer, she was obviously frightened.

"Sister, shall we go?"

"Go!" I said decisively.

This place is too weird.

I want to find out the truth, but I can't match Qiaoer and Ah Shi.

With Duguhan not around, I don't have the confidence to retreat completely.

Just when we were determined to leave, Su Qiaoer suddenly covered her head.

"Sister, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she collapsed on the floor.

I wanted to go forward to help, but felt dizzy.

As for Ah Shi, his eyes were flushed.

Kneeling on the ground, exhaling continuously.

Oops, I got hit.

I have thought that I will be safe, but I am still unable to guard against it.

"Sister, we didn't eat their food, why..."

If the food is not eaten, what about the rest?
My eyes turned to the candles beside me.

If the Wu family wants to harm us, they must have prepared for it a long time ago.

Suddenly, I thought of Wu Mei's words.

She repeatedly warned us to leave and gave us a basket of weeds.

Is this implying something?
Thinking of this, I hurried to the side.

Along the legs of the table, he supported himself up.

Pick up a blade of grass and stuff it straight into your mouth to chew.

When the bitter juice spread to my mouth, my soft body immediately felt pain.

Then, he stood up abruptly.

This weed can detoxify!
So I grabbed another handful and stuffed it into my mouth, then hurried to Su Qiaoer.

When the three of them had eaten the weeds and calmed down a lot, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

I winked at Ah Shi and Su Qiaoer, then quickly stuffed the basket under the bed, then lay down on the ground and pretended to faint.

With a 'creak', the door opened.

Two footsteps of different severity came to my side one after the other.

"Dizzy?" A hoarse female voice sounded.

"Dizzy!" Another old voice replied.

"Why is there one less? What about these two?"

"Throw it into the mountains to feed the poisonous moth orchid!"
