"Mm, Xiao Zhuang is right."
Grandpa Shangguan nodded and waved his hand. "Let's go and meet those peasants. They must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall."
As soon as he said that, we heard a few gunshots, followed by screams, not far away.
We looked at each other and hastened our steps. We saw a soldier running over in a hurry.
"Commander-in-chief, bad news. We were just about to detain those people, but they suddenly went crazy. Not only did they kill a few of our soldiers, but they also hit their heads against the wall and died. None of them survived …" The soldier reported hastily.
"What?!" Shangguan Guoqiang's face turned pale.
We quickly rushed to the scene. As expected, not only the envoys of the three countries, but their entourages were also lying by the wall with their heads bleeding. Even though they were dead, there was still a strong murderous aura around them. The scene was very strange.
"How did you do things?" Shangguan Guoqiang said angrily.
"Commander-in-chief, we actually wanted to stop them, but these people seemed to have gone mad. After killing a few soldiers, they chose to commit suicide without any hesitation. All the guns we fired were empty," that person said with a perturbed expression.
What he said was the truth. I couldn't find any muzzle on those people, which made me feel strange.
To be honest, no matter how brave a person was, he or she would feel fear and hesitation when faced with a life and death situation.
However, these people were like moths flying into a fire. They weren't brave warriors on the battlefield. On the contrary, they were all afraid of death, especially the envoys of the three countries. I felt that even if they were to live on, they wouldn't have the courage to commit suicide.
Soon, a professional forensic doctor arrived at the scene. After a detailed examination, the forensic doctor's expression turned solemn.
"Xiao Liu, what's the situation?" Shangguan Guoqiang asked impatiently.
The forensic doctor pondered for a moment and said something shocking. "If I'm not mistaken, they should have been cursed by someone …"
"Cursed!"
As an authentic citizen of Nan Yun, I wasn't a stranger to Cursed Head. Of course, I didn't come into contact with it personally, but I had heard a lot of rumors and stories from the older generation since I was young.
This was an ancient witchcraft that was popular in Southeast Asia, also known as evil magic. Compared to the more common poison, Tame Head could be said to be magical.
"Little Liu, are you sure?" Shangguan Guoqiang frowned.
"Commander-in-chief, actually, you can carefully observe their physical characteristics. Since they weren't tortured, and there are strange bruises on the surface of their bodies, the throbbing of their muscles doesn't conform to common sense, and there are clearly visible black lines in the whites of their eyes. From this, it can be seen that they are most likely under Tame Head Sorcery," said the forensic doctor, Xiao Liu, unhurriedly.
I took a look, and it was just as he had said.
"Hmm, there should be no mistake. The reason why these three small countries dared to openly challenge us is because, in fact, apart from the mutant warriors, there are also mysterious warriors. Moreover, in their countries, the highly respected sorcerers are respected by tens of thousands of people and have extraordinary status," Shang Guan Guoqiang said with a dignified expression.
If that was the case, it was very likely that they had already been informed of the situation.
This made me gloomy. I had originally wanted to talk to them to see if I could get any useful information. After all, when the envoy had threatened me, he had almost spilled the beans and had been stopped by the envoy from his base.
I didn't think much and directly brought them back. If I had known that the situation would turn out like this, I would have interrogated them on the spot.
Although Shang Guan Guoqiang had mentioned sorcerers and witchcraft, I had a feeling that they weren't talking about those things. After all, it was widely spread, so it wasn't really a secret.
Perhaps the higher-ups of the three countries were afraid that they would leak the news, so they had used the Tame Head Sorcery. After their plan had failed, the Tame Head Sorcery had silently taken effect.
As we had come to a conclusion, Shang Guan Guoqiang didn't blame the soldiers, but was a little gloomy.
After a short while, Little Cherry and I arrived at Shang Guan Guoqiang's room.
"Grandpa, besides visiting you, I'm also here to treat your illness," Little Cherry said cheerfully.
Shang Guan Guoqiang was stunned and couldn't help but ask.
"Wan'er, do you mean that with Xiao Zhuang's current medical skills, he's already able to treat my illness?" His tone was filled with joy.
"That's right! Big Brother Xiao Zhuang's medical skills have improved at a godly speed. It can be said that he can bring back the dying. Even Sis Meizi and Auntie Gu Yue's incurable illnesses were easily cured," Little Cherry said complacently. When she praised me, she revealed a genuine smile.
However, when I mentioned sister-in-law, Shang Guan Guoqiang frowned slightly. It wasn't that he had any opinions about sister-in-law, but he understood her position in my heart. Previously, because of this matter, he hadn't agreed to let Little Cherry and me be together. After all, as an older generation person, his thoughts were very traditional. No matter what the reason was, he couldn't do anything out of line.
However, as I thought about it, no one was perfect, and no gold was completely pure. Putting aside the fact that I was lenient in every aspect, I couldn't find any flaws in me.
After observing me for a long time, Shang Guan Guoqiang approved of me. From his point of view, he didn't want sister-in-law to have a child because a man's energy was limited. When he married and had children, he wouldn't be able to take care of everything. Moreover, sister-in-law had an influence on my life. If she gave birth to a child, she would definitely love that child. When Shang Guan Guoqiang returned to this world, Little Cherry would lose her position.
Since Little Cherry was a pure girl, she didn't consider this point. She just said whatever she wanted to say. When she saw Shang Guan Guoqiang frown, she realized that she had said something wrong.
"Come, Grandpa Shangguan, let me check your pulse." I smiled embarrassedly and changed the topic.
Although I had achieved great results, I was still a young man who hadn't forgotten his original intention. My attitude towards the elders hadn't changed. I still remembered when Shangguan Guoqiang had asked me to carry the Shangguan family's banner.
