Chapter 516 Tragedy Begins

Chapter 516: The Beginning of Tragedy

With a bang, the sturdy nanmu chair fell to the ground with a loud noise, shaking even the floor.

But now everyone in the room is focusing on Wu Chi, so I don't think Grandpa Wu's reaction is so abrupt.

"What did you say? Those foreigners know the golden silkworm Gu? How do they know the golden silkworm Gu?"

Wu Chi's face sank like water: "They said that a few days ago in a small remote village less than two hours away from us, a family raised golden silkworm Gu, and they had been raising it for about 20 years, killing several people. .”

"Twenty years..." As soon as Wu Chi said this, everyone's expressions changed.

Wu Chi nodded solemnly: "According to what they said, they came across this incident by chance when they came here. That Miss Ye, I also told you, grandpa, that she was carrying a pill to drive away Gu. You should know something about Gu."

Grandpa Wu added with a gloomy expression, "Last night I went to meet old man Tao, and he also said that this Ms. Ye really has some skills. Before old man Tao was laying a spell on people outside, she also saw it right away."

Because of this, after discovering that Shi Yuyan was not the person they were looking for early this morning, they asked Wu Chi to find out about Ye Wanxi and the others.

"I was really surprised and anxious when I heard them talk about it just now. I ran to find you, grandpa, without asking any further questions. Ms. Ye said that this matter has now been handed over to the people above. If we don't believe it, we can call Go and ask."

Although Wu Yan was the patriarch, he hadn't taken over the affairs of the clan for long after all, and the real decision-maker present was still Grandpa Wu.

Hearing what Wu Chi said, everyone's eyes almost fell on Grandpa Wu, waiting for his instructions.

"Ask, I'll ask now."

Grandpa Wu dialed a familiar number in front of everyone. As soon as the call was connected, he explained his purpose.

The other party was also very cooperative, briefly explaining the whole story, and then sent a few photos.

Grandpa Wu and the others zoomed in and met the faces of two strangers in their forties or fifties. They could tell at a glance that the two died from the backlash of Gu worms.

"That's right, it's indeed the Golden Silkworm Gu, and these two should be the Gu raisers."

The faces of Wu Chi's uncles changed slightly, and they began to chatter.

"Is it really golden silkworm Gu? How come there are still people raising such a sinful thing? Aren't you afraid of being backlashed?"

"It's been backfired, but this is really strange. How can an ordinary villager in a village learn to raise this kind of thing without a teacher? Someone must have taught him."

"Who will teach him? This is a forbidden technique of our family. Even now, many of the younger generation only hear about it, and they don't even know what it is, let alone people outside."

"Do you think it's that person?"

"Which person?"

"Just that person, the person from twenty years ago."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became stagnant again.

Wu Chi listened in a daze, and frowned, "Who is that person? What happened twenty years ago? Why does everyone avoid talking about what happened twenty years ago? Dad It's the same with grandpa, he clearly said before that he will tell me everything when I grow up, but it's been a few years, and you still keep it from me."

As the head of the young patriarch, Wu Chi only vaguely knew that a major event happened in the village more than 20 years ago, that is, the year before Tao Wan was born.

Because of this incident, many people died in the village, his mother and Tao Wan's father both died at that time.

And what caused all these tragedies was the Golden Silkworm Gu.

But if you really want to ask in depth, these elders are unwilling to say more.

Wu Chi asked when he was a child, his father and grandfather mostly talked about other things and fooled the past.

It's not easy to fool him when he grows up, but every time this matter is brought up, it will inevitably remind them of their dead mother, which is tantamount to stabbing their wounds that have finally healed.

Over time, Wu Chi stopped asking.

But now, the Golden Silkworm Gu reappeared, even if Wu Chi didn't want to poke everyone's scars, he couldn't make everyone deceive themselves and others anymore.

Grandpa Wu and Papa Wu looked at each other, a trace of pain flashed across the vicissitudes of life, and sighed: "Let's talk."

Wu Yan thought for a while, and said loudly: "Actually, you still have an aunt."

"Auntie? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"Because she died when you were three years old."

The aunt Wu Yan spoke of was not actually his sister of the same father and mother, but the daughter of Grandpa Wu's elder brother.

Grandpa Wu passed away unexpectedly in his early years, and his wife left a few years after giving birth to his daughter, leaving his daughter who was only a few years old without anyone to take care of him.

Grandpa Wu and his wife saw that the child was pitiful, and it happened that they had only one son and no daughter, so they took the child from the elder brother's family back to their own family to raise as their own daughter.

"Your aunt is a very cheerful and independent person, but it is because she is too independent that she made a big mistake."

"Although our family avoided the world back then, it was not as exclusive as it is now. The young people in the family wanted to go out to meet the world, and no one would stop them. Your aunt liked to go out to play when she was fifteen or sixteen. Don't worry, until she was twenty years old, she brought a man back and said she wanted to marry him."

Wu Chi frowned: "And then?"

Wu Yan turned to look at Grandpa Wu: "Your grandpa is against this marriage."

"Why? That man is not good? Not good enough for aunt?"

"That man is an executive of a certain company. He graduated from a prestigious university. He is handsome and has a good family background. He has good conditions in all aspects."

"Then why..."

"It's because it's so perfect." Grandpa Wu recalled what happened back then, and there was a bit of pain in his eyes, "He is very good, and the conditions are very suitable in all aspects, but just because he is so good, it gives people a feeling of disobedience." Harmony. At that time, I couldn't explain why I didn't like him, I just thought this person..."

"Too fake?"

"Yes, that's what it feels like."

"Then what happened later? Auntie, she and that man..."

"get married."

"Married?" Wu Chi was startled, "Grandpa, don't you object? How can they still get married?"

Grandpa Wu smiled wryly: "The arm can't twist the thigh, so what's the use of my objection?"

Grandpa Wu really loves the eldest brother's daughter, and even loves her more than his own son.

He did object to the marriage then, but the boy liked it.

Grandpa Wu still remembered that the child who had never begged him since he was a child, cried and knelt in front of him, telling the man's kindness word by word, and begging him to help him.

Grandpa Wu couldn't bear to make the child sad, so in the end he had no choice but to compromise.

But I didn't want to, this compromise created a lifetime of regrets.
