Jun Ning saw this and asked uneasily, "Is it inconvenient for you to answer, Chief? If it’s really inconvenient, I won’t force you. You’ve already helped a lot, I can’t make it difficult for you!"
"No!" The Chief raised his hand slightly and said, "I just feel that these toxic bugs harm people deeply, and I want to destroy them. Unfortunately, I am insignificant and have no such power. There’s no way to thoroughly destroy this thing!"
The Chief felt a bit of self-bla and also so hatred for himself. After working hard for most of his life, he only managed to establish Black Water Village, and nothing more.
"Chief, is that really what you think?" Jun Ning was quite surprised!
The Chief nodded, "My mother also died from the bugs, I hate them to the core. How could I be dishonest?"
"I’m sorry, Chief, for bringing up your painful mories!" Jun Ning said with a hint of guilt.
"It’s alright, so many years have passed, I’ve already let it go." The Chief said, "I will tell you the principle of toxic bugs and the thod to dispel them now."
"I await eagerly!" Jun Ning and Ye Ying said in unison.
The Chief coughed twice and said, "These bugs are actually a kind of insect that can be controlled. They are raised on poison and live for a very long ti, and they feed on human flesh and blood. Once they enter a human body, the person raising the bugs can manipulate them. This person either suffers greatly or slowly withers away."
"What if the bugs enter the human body but are not manipulated?" Jun Ning asked.
"If not manipulated, this person will also die! However, they will die a bit slower, and before death, they might experience headaches and fevers, and after death, red spots and blood marks appear on the body."
This was exactly the sa as the symptoms Qi Qin experienced before and after death.
Jun Ning could finally confirm that her Uncle Qi indeed died from the bugs!
"However, there is one more thing worth ntioning!" The Chief said, "After a person dies from the bugs, their body won’t decay for a hundred years, and only after the severe toxicity disperses would the body start to decay slowly."
"Then my relative’s body must still be intact!" Jun Ning murmured.
The Chief said, "If it hasn’t been over a hundred years, it will definitely be intact."
"Thank you, Chief, for informing of this!"
Jun Ning had already made up her mind that when she returned, she would open Uncle Qi’s coffin to examine his corpse. As long as she could prove that Qi Qin died from the bugs, the Emperor could order a thorough investigation!
Jun Ning was determined that once the investigation comnced, she would find out the truth behind Uncle Qi’s death!
She would not let any of those who hard Uncle Qi go.
"As for how to dispel the bugs!" The Chief began saying again, "Those who raise the bugs usually have a secret thod to dispel them, but this thod is extrely difficult to learn."
Jun Ning frowned, "Does that an if I can’t learn it, I can’t dispel the bugs?"
"Not necessarily, there’s also a simple way using poison to counteract the poison to dispel the bugs. However, most people don’t dare to try it easily! They’re afraid of death."
"What thod is that?" Jun Ning beca intrigued.
Ye Ying was also very interested. Although he said nothing, he appeared to be all ears!
The Chief said, "That would be to take Red Crown Crane poison!"
The bugs are refined from the world’s most toxic, and Red Crown Crane poison is also extrely toxic. The toxicity of both is about the sa, both can quickly be lethal.
By fighting poison with poison, you can dispel it!
"Really?"
Jun Ning was excited. If this were true, once she uncovered the truth of Uncle Qi’s death from the bugs, she would definitely have the Emperor enforce this thod of fighting poison with poison as law.
This way, the bugs in the world could be completely eradicated!
The Chief’s long-standing wish could finally be fulfilled!
The Chief nodded, "It’s true, if you don’t believe it, I can personally demonstrate for you!"
The Chief ordered soone to bring a toxic bug, disregarded Jun Ning and Ye Ying’s attempts to stop him, and introduced the bug into his own body. He then ordered soone to bring Red Crown Crane poison, even going so far as to have Ye Ying and Jun Ning verify its authenticity!
Finally, Jun Ning and Ye Ying confird that the Red Crown Crane poison was genuine.
As the bug wreaked havoc inside the Chief’s body, he unhesitatingly drank the Red Crown Crane poison. Jun Ning and Ye Ying couldn’t stop him and were terrified, fearing sothing might happen to the Chief!
But the mont of witnessing a miracle was right then!
In just a short while, the bug rampaging in the Chief’s body died!
The Chief cut open the skin where the bug had died and extracted the dead bug.
And after all this, the Chief was perfectly fine.
Ye Ying personally checked his pulse and found no issues at all!
This simple and direct way to dispel the bugs was truly surprising!
Jun Ning thanked him once again, "Thank you, Chief, for telling us."
"No need to thank !" The Chief smiled, "And don’t ask anything else. When I said I would personally slaughter a pig to host you, I ant it, so just relax, and I’ll go do it now! If I don’t go now, I won’t be able to slaughter the pig properly this morning."
With that, the Chief went to slaughter the pig.
Conveniently, the second-in-command had heated a pot of useless water, which ca in handy!
Ye Ying was puzzled, "Ah Ning, why is the Chief helping us to dispel the bugs? Why did he tell us the thod to dispel them and also say he wants to kill a pig to host you?"
The Chief’s enthusiasm made Ye Ying suspicious of his intentions toward Jun Ning.
Jun Ning said, "Shall we go out and walk around? Talk while we walk!"
"Alright!"
The two of them wandered while Jun Ning recounted the events of last night with the Chief.
Ye Ying sighed, "I didn’t expect that in such a bandit village, there would be good people who are grateful and repay kindness!"
"In this world, where there are good people, there are also bad people. Sotis the good person you see might not be truly good, and a bad person might not be truly bad."
"Likewise, even though Black Water Village is a bandit village, it doesn’t necessarily an everyone living there is bad."
Indeed!
At this point, upon hearing that the Chief had brought back soone who had favored him to the village, except for those loyal to the second-in-command faction, all the n and won set off to help the Chief slaughter the pig to thank the benefactor.
Seeing this, Jun Ning smiled.
But suddenly, she heard a voice.
"Gou Dan, you already had a glass of water this morning? Why are you drinking water again? Have you forgotten what your mother told you? Our village lacks water, we can’t use water so extravagantly!"
