Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 143 The World of Ghosts and Monsters 10

For the next few days, Mo Ying did not return, and Lin Xiaoqian and the others continued to sell roast duck in the shop.

Previously, customers who came to eat roast duck would come every day to buy roast duck and would also bring a few back for their friends.

Later, someone posted online that there was a roast duck shop in Mingyi Lane that sold incredibly delicious duck, and it became an instant hit, attracting some adventure bloggers to 'explore' it, but in the end, they became food bloggers instead.

Lin Xiaoqian didn't need to worry about the system task of 800 roast ducks, but she was a little worried about Mo Ying.

Mo Ying has been gone for five days, and with the day to return to the original world drawing ever closer, there is still no news of his return, and he cannot be reached by phone.

Lin Xiaoqian came out of the kitchen and saw Xiaotong, who lived next door, coming to the store to buy roast duck.

"Sister Lin, I'd like a roast duck."

Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Okay, wait and see."

After she placed the packaged roast duck in Xiaotong's hands, she casually asked, "Is Aunt Yun feeling any better?"

I met Xiaotong at the store entrance a few days ago. She told me that she and her master Liusheng are relatives of Yun Gu. They came here because of some business, but accidentally discovered that Yun Gu was sick. They have been staying next door to take care of Yun Gu for the past few days.

We're neighbors, and Xiaotong loves to eat. She's been buying roast duck from us every day for the past few days, so we've gotten to know each other pretty well.

Xiao Tong shook her head, seemingly troubled: "No, but my master is thinking of another way."

Lin Xiaoqian recalled the Yun Gu she had seen that morning, an old lady in her fifties or sixties who was mentally unstable and supposedly unable to get out of bed now.

Is this Yun Gu possessed by a ghost?

Lin Xiaoqian was interested in going to take a look.

After all, she is now at the second level of Qi Refining, which is a cultivator, and she has a bunch of weapons to protect her, so her safety should not be a problem.

Moreover, before Mo Ying left, he seemed to have mentioned that the evil spirit on Mingyi Lane that he had refined was also part of that vicious formation.

Lin Xiaoqian's intuition told her that this Aunt Yun most likely knew something about the evil spirits on this street.

If she can cure Yun Gu, she might be able to help Mo Ying.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoqian pointed at Jiang Shuang and said to Xiaotong, "To be honest, my sister's family has been practicing medicine for generations. Although she runs a roast duck shop with me, she has some medical knowledge from what she's heard about. Why don't you have her go and see your aunt? Maybe she can help?"

Xiaotong was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

Jiang Shuang was a little confused, not understanding what Lin Xiaoqian wanted to do, but she still nodded calmly: "If needed, I can go and take a look."

Xiao Tong realized that her aunt wasn't actually sick, but rather afflicted by a Gu worm, and said somewhat awkwardly, "My aunt's illness is quite rare..."

"What a coincidence, my sister's family is best at treating difficult and complicated diseases," Lin Xiaoqian said.

Xiao Tong hesitated. Her master had been trying to contact the master who was skilled in Gu magic for the past few days, but they couldn't get through on the phone.

She followed her master anxiously, and could only buy some food and take care of her aunt to ease her master's worries.

Yesterday, the master decided to personally go and invite the master over. Seeing that there was no danger on this street, he left her to take care of his aunt.

Xiao Tong glanced at Jiang Shuang. This older sister had a righteous air about her and didn't seem like a bad person. Even if she knew medicine, she probably couldn't cure the Gu poison.

Seeing that Xiaotong was wavering, Lin Xiaoqian continued to persuade her, "Let her take a look. What if she knows how to cure it?"

Xiao Tong bit her lip, seemingly unconcerned about the consequences. She had heard her master say that there were many extraordinary people in the world, and perhaps one of them could cure her aunt's poison.

So he said, "Alright, then I'll trouble this lady to go and check on my aunt."

Jiang Shuang nodded slightly, and she and Lin Xiaoqian followed Xiaotong to Aunt Yun's shop.

Passing through the hall filled with statues of gods, we entered the small bedroom at the back. Yun Gu lay quietly on the bed in the small bedroom, her face pale. If it weren't for her slight breathing, she would have looked like a corpse at first glance.

Jiang Shuang pretended to examine Yun Gu, lifting her eyelids and looking at her tongue, but actually took the opportunity to slip a Nourishing Yuan Pill into Yun Gu's mouth. This was the pill that Lin Xiaoqian had secretly slipped into her hand earlier, and she even mouthed, "Take this opportunity to give it to Yun Gu."

Not long after the Nourishing Essence Pill entered Yun Gu's mouth, her complexion improved, and a blush appeared on her face.

This Nourishing Essence Pill comes from the cultivation world. It is made from spiritual plants and herbs from the cultivation world. Its medicinal properties are mild and can be used by mortals and cultivators alike, although its effects are somewhat weaker on cultivators.

Seeing that the pills were effective, Lin Xiaoqian was somewhat pleased, but soon, Yun Gu's body began to tremble violently.

"Auntie!" Xiao Tong quickly came over and called out to Aunt Yun anxiously.

"What happened? My aunt only does this after she goes out." Xiao Tong looked at Lin Xiaoqian and the other girl. The girl didn't suspect that the two of them had done anything, but she was still young and panicked for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Moreover, her master, Yagyu, is not here now.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang frowned deeply. This couldn't be! The Nourishing Essence Pill was a good thing; Yun Gu shouldn't be like this after taking it.

The next second, Yun Gu’s face tilted to the side and she spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The three girls were startled.

Lin Xiaoqian stared intently at the black bloodstain on the bed, sensing something was amiss. Pointing at the bloodstain, she asked, "What is that?"

Xiaotong was right next to the bed, quite close. After taking a closer look, she covered her mouth and said, "It's...it's a bug!"

The insect was about the length of a little fingernail, with a plump body covered in black blood, obscuring its original color. It lay motionless in the blood, almost invisible unless you looked closely.

Xiao Tong said in a trembling voice, "This is a Gu worm, it's a Gu worm."

Gu worm?

It seems that Aunt Yun's illness is indeed not an ordinary case of madness.

Xiao Tong looked puzzled: "Why did Auntie spit out the Gu worm?" Her master hadn't brought the Grandmaster back yet.

"Cough cough..."

Yun Gu coughed.

Xiao Tong quickly checked on Yun Gu's condition.

Yun Gu slowly opened her eyes, a hint of confusion in them.

"Master Aunt! Are you ready?" Xiao Tong asked anxiously.

Yun Gu looked at Xiao Tong and it took her a while to recognize her: "You're Liu Sheng's little apprentice, Xiao Tong?"

Xiao Tong nodded hurriedly: "It's me, Aunt. How are you feeling now?"

Yun Gu naturally felt that the Gu worms in her body had disappeared, and a warm breath was soothing her meridians.

She looked at the other two people in the room. Although she was unconscious, she was actually somewhat conscious.

It seemed that someone had put a round object into her mouth. The Gu worm died as soon as it came into contact with the heat emanating from that object, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood and spat it out.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have woken up.

It must have been one of the two of them. If it had been two days later, even a miracle couldn't have saved her.

"Thank you both." Aunt Yun stood up slightly and thanked Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang, who hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"You are still weak, so please lie down and rest."

Xiaotong blinked, not knowing what had happened.

Aunt Yun glanced at her and said, "Xiao Tong, go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of porridge for your aunt."

Xiao Tong then realized that her aunt hadn't eaten a single grain of rice for several days, because even if she tried to feed her, she would vomit it up. She must be very hungry now, so she quickly got up and said, "Okay, I'll go right now."

After finding an excuse to get Xiaotong to leave, Aunt Yun said to Lin Xiaoqian and the other person, "Please have a seat, both of you. We apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality."
