Chapter 35: A Shout!
Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao were both skilled and daring, so they didn’t show any fear towards the dark cave entrance before them, and directly stepped inside.
Originally, Gu Yu was puzzled why his wife didn’t take him in directly to save time.
Gu Mengyao shook her head, indicating that the cave was not too deep and it wouldn’t take too long to walk in. It was better to go in and see for themselves.
Hearing Gu Mengyao say this, Gu Yu naturally understood her meaning. She was worried about accidents happening while bringing him in, and not being able to respond in time.
In this regard, Gu Yu felt that his little wife was being overly worried.
If his guess was correct, those pregnant women were not carrying resentful worms, but were genuinely pregnant.
Otherwise, Zhongjia Village was not small, how could there only be a dozen women in the cave.
Moreover, if there were only so few women, why would they send people to guard them, worried about these women escaping.
This proved that these women were very important.
Coupled with the fact that they were all pregnant women, Gu Yu immediately had a guess, thinking that the raw materials for making resentful worms were probably the children in these women’s bellies.
Gu Yu’s speculation was somewhat terrifying, but since ancient times, how could demons and monsters be more complex than the human heart?
However, what puzzled Gu Yu was… why make so many resentful worms?
All the way here, Gu Yu had seen the most resentful worms…
With so many resentful worms, can’t they still find that mysterious Gu worm?
Or, were the women in the cave spares?
Thinking about these things, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao entered the cave. Looking at the smooth cave walls, it was likely an old cave that had been there for a long time, otherwise it would not have been polished so smoothly.
As they continued to walk forward, the originally smooth cave walls became rugged and uneven, and the road under their feet became difficult to walk.
Moreover, a gust of cold wind blew by, and they didn’t know where the other side of this cave led.
Fortunately, Gu Yu had already seen figures and heard faint voices ahead, letting Gu Yu know that they were about to meet the women in the cave.
“Day after day, are we really going to die here?”
“Do you still want to live? I really don’t know what sins our village has committed to encounter such a thing.”
“It’s a pity for the unborn child in the womb, who was taken by those bastards to make bugs. It’s truly detestable. God will punish them, strike them with lightning, and let them die a horrible death!”
“That’s enough, save some energy. Pa Yinan has been taken away, and she probably won’t come back! She is the most powerful Gu master in our Zhongjia Village, and she is no match for those people. What can we do!”
“Wait to die!”
As the voices in his ears gradually became clearer, Gu Yu couldn’t help but frown.
Through the words of these women, Gu Yu gained some information.
His previous guess was not wrong, these women were indeed pregnant, which was why they were put in the cave and not killed immediately, but were to have their unborn children in their wombs made into resentful worms.
Among them, hearing that Pa Yinan had been taken away, Gu Yu secretly felt that something was wrong.
It wasn’t that Gu Yu had a change of heart and wanted to help Gege protect his wife, but that Pa Yinan, as the most powerful Gu master in Zhongjia Village, likely knew more things that could help Gu Yu resolve his doubts.
As for the ordinary women in front of him, Gu Yu didn’t have high hopes for them.
“Who… are you!”
When Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao approached, they immediately attracted the attention of those women.
When the first woman spoke, she immediately made the other women look over, with obvious vigilance in their eyes, clearly showing great suspicion towards the two who had suddenly arrived in the cave.
“We are here to save you, but now, there is something we need you to answer quickly.”
Gu Yu was too lazy to beat around the bush with these women, and went straight to the point, causing many women to look at each other in dismay. Then the first woman who spoke nodded.
Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao’s attire was normal, not like those mysterious people who were secretive and couldn’t be seen.
Especially since their appearances were superior, giving people a very good first impression upon seeing them.
They didn’t look like bad people…
If Gu Qingheng knew what these women were thinking, he would probably laugh heartily, thinking that his brother-in-law was very bad~
Just looking at their faces, you can’t tell anything.
“You said Pa Yinan was taken away, do you know where she was taken?”
“Yes, she was taken to the Ancestral Hall.”
Afterwards, after finding out Pa Yinan’s whereabouts, Gu Yu didn’t say anything more, and directly walked out of the cave.
He had to rush to the Ancestral Hall of Zhongjia Village quickly, so as not to have Pa Yinan’s stomach cut open alive, then everything would be too late.
The many questions troubling Gu Yu would then have no one to answer them.
“Hey, didn’t you say you were going to save us? Why are you leaving!”
“Exactly, I don’t want to die here!”
“Benefactor, please stay.”
“Wuwuwu.”
As Gu Yu stepped away, a burst of loud crying erupted behind him, making Gu Yu secretly exclaim that something was wrong.
These women are really useless!
Is this their home now?
Don’t forget, there are still guards preventing them from escaping. With those women shouting, the entrance of the cave has probably been surrounded.
“Stop howling. I’m going to save people. Do you want to go with me? Don’t blame me for saying this upfront. Where I’m going is the Ancestral Hall of Zhongjia Village, and you all know what’s there.”
Looking back at the cave entrance with a dark and uncertain gaze, Gu Yu turned back and shouted impatiently.
Since attention had already been drawn, Gu Yu no longer needed to tread lightly.
At this time, Gu Mengyao reached out and held Gu Yu’s hand, preparing to take Gu Yu away directly if the situation was bad.
No matter what, Gu Mengyao only wanted her little husband to be safe!
If she had the ability, Gu Mengyao would save people.
But, if they were trapped in the cave, it would be bad!
After all, if there were guards at the cave entrance, and then a fire was lit, the rising smoke alone could have them choked out.
At that time, when they couldn’t concentrate, they could easily get injured.
However, if it were just Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu, as long as these mysterious people didn’t block the cave, there would be no problem at all.
I don’t know if it was wishful thinking or not, but a stir indeed came from the cave entrance. Some people were carrying a lot of stones, preparing to seal the entrance completely.
