C32 (2/2)

Yao Yun recounted what had happened, but the old lady was surprisingly calm. She kept asking about some details, and it was obvious that she was trying her best to hold it in. When she heard that the person who killed her son killed her crazily, the old lady nodded and said, ”Sure, my son didn't lose, he gave a Gu in that woman's ears, and the Gu bug passed on to that b * stard. He hallucinated that the two of them had crickets in their ears, and he wanted to catch them so he took a stone and smashed their heads open, well done!”

When the crowd heard her words, they finally came to a realization. Old Hu knew that he had been poisoned by the scorpion, so he used a suicidal tactic, taking advantage of the other party's moment of laziness to plant a Gu on the woman's body. They were only waiting for a few days for the couple with the Gu worm to attack before their heads would be smashed.

Old Hu's mother wiped out his ashes and placed them next to Old Hu's father's memorial tablet. After a long while, she finally opened a drawer and took out a notebook to give to Yao Yun. She said, ”Old Third, you are my son's best friend, and it's all thanks to you taking him away this time … Sending it home is a skill passed down in the Hu family. Even my son doesn't have it, so this book can't be lost, so I'll just give it to you. ”

He knew that the records here were all about the insect control techniques passed down from Old Hu's family for generations. Wiping away his tears, he said to Old Madam, ”Auntie, Old Hu is no longer around. I promised to help him show his filial piety. From now on, you are like our mother, you …”

The old lady waved her hand and said, ”You don't need to worry about it. You can rest assured that I will be able to hold on. I plan to bring the two of them back to my hometown.” Don't miss me. If there's anything I need you for, I'll call you. Ah, that's it. You guys can go back. Go back. ”

Yao Yun didn't know what to say anymore. She had no choice but to take out the money that she had borrowed from Ashley and put it on the table. ”You can use this money first. I'll come and see you in a while.” The old lady nodded and did not refuse, sending them out the door.

After leaving Old Hu's house, Ashley drove them to a restaurant and found a secluded corner to sit down. He casually ordered some food and wine and they drank in silence. Third brother, do you have any plans for the next stage? ” she asked Yao Yun.

Yao Ling dumbly raised her wine cup and drank a cup of white wine, sighing without saying anything. Ashley said, ”If you still want to work with me, then our contract is still valid, and if you... ”I can give you a sum of money, you guys …”

Yao Yun remained silent. He drank a few cups of white wine and then stood up to leave with Wei Wuji. Before she left, Yao Ning finally turned around and said to her, ”Thank you! These days, I don't plan to go anywhere. Our contract is still valid. If you need anything, just call me.” With that, he left the restaurant with Wei Wuji.

Ashley stared at the two of them walking away, his heart even more determined and convinced. These two men were trustworthy, perhaps they could really help him achieve his salvation. At the very least, they could stop his father's crazy plan.

Every day, he would just stay at home to drink and watch movies. From time to time, he would also take out the photo albums from the past and silently look through them. Sometimes, Wei Wuji was worried that something might have happened to him while he was bored at home. Thus, he wanted to drag him out to have fun and relax. However, Yao Yun couldn't muster up any interest. In his heart, he felt that he had really failed. After so many years of doing nothing, he could not even preserve his brother's life. What was the point of living like this? It was hard to find anything to be interested in other than alcohol and women's anesthetic. He even thought of taking drugs. It was at this moment that he truly understood that the genius of the detective world he had seen in the novel Holmes had to live on morphine in the absence of a case. In Yao's heart, he really hoped that he could wake up one morning and receive Ashley's call. He hoped that Ashley would entrust him with a case, hoping that she would take him on another adventure.

This amount of money was enough for him to spend for a while. Furthermore, he had a new girlfriend, so every day, he would leave early and return late. If he wasn't worried about Yao Yun, perhaps he would have moved out to live alone.
