Qin Xiao soon saw two small insects squirming out from the bamboo tube and crawling into Mapo's palm.

The bugs were all white, like silkworm chrysalises and silkworm babies. Qin Xiao didn't know what Mapo wanted, but he saw the two white bugs crawled into his palms and then stopped moving. Mapo stared at Qin Xiao's eyes and asked: "You

Do you know this insect?"

Qin Xiao shook his head, and Mapo sneered: "This is called a heart-eating insect. Its favorite food is the human heart. It crawls into your mouth and enters your heart. In less than half a day, it can completely devour your heart."

"

Qin Xiao changed color slightly and struggled: "What do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to do anything." Mapo said softly: "The insect babies have been hungry for a long time, and today is just the day to let them feast."

Qin Xiao forced a smile and said: "Ma Po, you won't let them eat my heart, right?"

"You are smart." Mapo stared at Qin Xiao with her dark eyes: "You are still young and have a fresh heart, which is the best food for heart-eating insects."

Qin Xiao felt disgusted when she saw the bug in her palm, and said with a bitter smile: "We have no enmity, so there is no need for you to harm me like this, right?"

"I just want to ask you who came out of your house that night." Mapo said calmly: "If you confess honestly, I can spare you once."

Qin Xiao said helplessly: "I really don't know her. To tell you the truth, I also want to know who she is...!" Before he could finish speaking, Mapo had already held Qin Xiao's chin with one hand.

, pinched Qin Xiao's mandible very skillfully, Qin Xiao's mouth opened involuntarily, Mapo didn't hesitate at all, she covered Qin Xiao's mouth with her other hand, and two white insects entered Qin Xiao's mouth instantly.

Qin Xiao was horrified and wanted to spit it out, but Mapo's palms covered it tightly. The two white worms entered the mouth and became extremely active. Qin Xiao could not stop it at all. He felt that the two white worms quickly got in.

into his own throat, and then directly entered his esophagus.

Mapo was obviously sure that the white bug had entered Qin Xiao's esophagus, so she withdrew her hand. Qin Xiao immediately vomited and wanted to spit out the bug. He spit out two mouthfuls of bitter water, but no bug was found.

"Damn old woman, when have I ever offended you?" Qin Xiao was filled with heart-eating insects, and he was filled with anger and resentment: "Who comes in and out of my house, it's none of your business?"

Mapo just stood in front of him, looking at him coldly and saying nothing.

"Hurry up and get them out for me." Qin Xiao was scared and anxious: "I am a member of the government. If you really harm me, the Duwei Mansion will investigate it thoroughly. You should be considered as a member of the Duwei Mansion.

Do you want to eat for nothing? No matter how deep you hide it, they will definitely find you out."

Mapo snorted coldly and said: "They have always lived on dry food, don't you know?"

Qin Xiao was startled. At this moment, he vaguely felt that bugs seemed to be squirming in his stomach. He didn't know whether it was a real feeling or a psychological effect. He said with a bitter face: "We neighbors, there is no need to do this.

Absolutely right?"

"What did you see just now?" Mapo asked, staring into Qin Xiao's eyes.

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment and felt a little embarrassed. After all, climbing into someone else's window to peek at someone else taking a bath was not a glorious thing.

"I saw that you didn't turn on the light so late, and I was worried that something might happen to you." Qin Xiao thought for a moment, and then said: "I thought you were an old woman and wouldn't take care of you if something happened to you, so...

.!”

Mapo said: "So you want to see if I am dead?"

Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "No, it's just to see if you are sick or something else. I didn't curse you."

Mapo snorted coldly and struck out suddenly. The sword flashed across Qin Xiao's face. Qin Xiao was startled and let out a soft cry of "Ah", but he found that Mapo actually cut the tendon rope that was holding his legs.

Then he went around behind him and cut the rope binding his hands.

Qin Xiao didn't expect Mapo to change so quickly. He stood up and moved his hands and feet, and then heard Mapo calmly say: "Those are not heart-eating worms. They can survive in your body for two days. You don't have to panic. They will survive in these two days."

It moves around your meridians to help you unblock them."

Qin Xiao was startled and said unexpectedly: "Tongmai?"

"In the early years, you were attacked by cold syndrome, and your meridians contracted, so you were unable to practice Qi and martial arts at all." Mapo put away the knife and said calmly: "However, the blood has stretched your meridians, but years of accumulated disadvantages cannot be solved overnight.

You can recover. Although this snow insect cannot help you recover quickly, at least it will be of great benefit to the relaxation of your meridians."

As soon as he said these words, Qin Xiao was surprised and said: "How do you know?" But he understood instantly and said: "You...are you the benefactor who saved me several times?"

Qin Xiao didn't know where the mysterious old woman was, but when he saw Mapo that day, he was suspicious.

It's just that he couldn't imagine that the old woman who bought oil across the door from him had such skills.

But when she said these words, Qin Xiao concluded almost instantly that the Mapo in front of him was the mysterious old woman he had always wanted to find.

Except for the mysterious old woman, almost no one in the world knows that they have suffered from cold syndrome, and it is even less likely that anyone knows that they have been taking blood to resist cold syndrome.

Qin Xiao found it incredible that Mapo was the benefactor he had always missed.

For nearly two hundred days, he had been waiting for his benefactor to appear again almost every day, but little did he know that the benefactor he had been waiting for was looking at him sideways at the door.

Mapo did not admit it, but walked to the corner of the room, where there was a small table with several oil jars on it.

Although she did not admit it, since she did not deny it, it was equivalent to acquiescence, and Qin Xiao had completely confirmed her identity.

For a time, countless doubts came to my mind.

"Well... my benefactor, how did you know that I have cold syndrome?" Qin Xiao leaned over and asked, "How did you know that blood can resist cold syndrome?" When he walked to Mapo, he saw that Mapo had already opened the oil.

jar, and carefully took out a porcelain bottle from it.

"Benefactor, what is this?" Qin Xiaoqi asked.

Mapo turned around, her voice still cold: "Don't call me your benefactor." Her voice was still low and hoarse, she opened the porcelain bottle, poured a tiny pill out of it into the palm of her hand, glanced at Qin Xiao, and whispered: "

These are blood pills made from dog blood.”

"Blood pill?" Qin Xiao carefully took it from Mapo's palm.

"You are putting the blood in the gourd now, but it is not a long-term solution." Mapo said: "Once the secret in the gourd is discovered one day, it will be bad after all. In the past six months, I have been thinking about how to do better.

To solve this problem, after much thought, the best way is to make the blood into blood pills, which can be convenient for you to take. Even if the blood pills are discovered, you will have a hundred reasons to explain it."

Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "Exactly." He thought that it would be much more convenient to carry blood pills with him than blood in a gourd.

Moreover, the blood in the inner gourd cannot be stored for too long. If the time is too long, it will solidify into lumps, which is very inconvenient and will also waste blood.

"This bottle is enough for you to use for three months." Mapo said: "In addition to blood, there are some Qi-nourishing medicinal materials in the blood pills, which are good for your body." He handed the porcelain bottle in his hand to Qin Xiao, who

Xiaoman took it with both hands, grateful in his heart, and said: "Benefactor, why are you helping me like this?"

"I told you not to call me benefactor." Mapo was obviously unhappy.

Qin Xiao said awkwardly: "Then I still call you Mapo?"

Mapo thought for a moment and then said softly: "My name is Hongye, but you don't need to remember it."

"Hongye?" Qin Xiao said immediately: "What a good name, what a name, it sounds really nice."

Mapo snorted coldly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.

Qin Xiao put the porcelain bottle into his arms and said: "Hongye...Mother-in-law, how did you know that I have cold syndrome?" He thought that only he and the deceased old man knew about the cold syndrome.

He has already traveled to the west. Apart from himself, no one else in the world knows about cold syndrome. How can he learn about Hongye?

"You don't need to ask what I should tell you, I will let you know." Hongye said as coldly as ice: "You don't need to talk nonsense if you shouldn't know."

"Oh!" Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "I know."

At this time, he also understood why Guishou San wanted to settle accounts with him that night, but the mysterious old woman was able to appear in time. Mapo was opposite his house, paying attention to the movements in his yard. Guishou San sneaked into his house without others knowing,

But with Hong Ye’s strength, of course he knew it clearly.

Hongye didn't say anything, the two of them stood, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Do you have anything else?" Hongye asked calmly.

Although she saved Qin Xiao's life several times and worked hard to make bleeding pills for Qin Xiao, she was very cold when talking to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao thought that this must be due to temperament.

"No." Qin Xiao said awkwardly: "I just want to know... why did you save me?"

Hongye said: "Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"I heard, don't talk nonsense about things you shouldn't know." Qin Xiao forced a smile: "By the way, there is something I have some doubts about, and I want to ask you for advice." Before Hongye could speak, he immediately said: "It's not nonsense,

It’s...it’s [The Ancient Intention and Qi Jue].”

Hongye said: "What's wrong? Have you been practicing these past few days?"

"I dare not forget your instructions." Qin Xiao said: "I practice whenever I have time, but there is something strange."

"oh?"

"I have never practiced internal skills." Qin Xiao said: "But some people say that I have been practicing internal skills for half a year, and they say that I am already a first-class master...!"

"A first-class master?" Hongye sneered: "When did a first-class master become a master?"

Qin Xiao knew he had made a mistake and was even more embarrassed: "I made a mistake. He said that I was a first-class warrior, that is, I had internal strength. But I don't remember that I started practicing internal strength half a year ago. Hongye... Granny Hongye

,What exactly is going on?"

Hongye said: "You reach out."

Qin Xiao hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand. Hongye stretched out two fingers and placed them on Qin Xiao's hand, as if he was checking the patient's pulse, and ordered: "Take a deep breath!"

Qin Xiao followed Hong Ye's instructions, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

Hong Ye's skin has not become rough because of her martial arts practice. Her hands are as soft as catkins and her muscles are as thick as grease. When her fingers rest on her hand veins, Qin Xiao can even feel smooth.

Hongye said softly, "Huh", raised his head and looked into Qin Xiao's eyes. Seeing Qin Xiao looking at him, he asked, "Have you never practiced internal strength before?"

"No, absolutely not." Qin Xiao said immediately: "I can swear to God...!"

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. What kind of oaths are you making at random?" Hong Ye was a little unhappy: "Did you start practicing Qi from the [Ancient Yi Qi Jue]?"

"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "That night you gave me the [Ancient Intention and Qi Jue], and I started breathing it out according to the method in it."
