Chapter 1845: Chapter 1845: Gao Zhou’s Blood

”Okay, as long as we find the person, the curse can be lifted immediately.” He said while tugging Gai Yalai into the secret chamber, the action was very rough, almost causing Gai Yalai to fall.

Gai Yalai saw clearly the situation over by Jiang Yichun, and suddenly began to scream.

”Let me go, I don’t want to stay here, ghosts, ghosts!” she screamed in panic, pointing at the blood pool beneath Jiang Yichun, ”So much blood, I don’t want to stay here, let me leave!”

Gao Zhou, annoyed, gritted his teeth and said, ”Shut up!” Then he raised his hand and struck her mute point.

Bai Ruozhu was initially worried that Achun would be uncomfortable, but Jiang Yichun’s gaze stayed on her, without bothering to look at Gai Yalai, apparently having already been disappointed in this mother of his.

She breathed a silent sigh of relief; she didn’t want Achun to know that Gai Yalai wasn’t willing to take risks to save him, even planning to escape midway. She was afraid Achun would feel bad, but now it seems it doesn’t matter even if he knows.

Gao Zhou impatiently glanced at the corpse of Honglian on the ground, ”What’s this ghost thing? Take it out, don’t interrupt my ritual!”

Fen Jiu looked disgusted, not wanting to approach, but Jiao Ling urged him again, so he had no choice but to kick Honglian’s corpse and eyeless head out of the secret chamber.

”Alright, Ruozhu, you should step outside too. Don’t disturb me at all.” Gao Zhou instructed.

Gai Yalai couldn’t speak, she looked at him pleadingly, meaning she wanted to go out. Gao Zhou directly gave her a big white eye, ignoring her.

Bai Ruozhu looked at Jiang Yichun, ”Achun, I’ll be at the cave entrance, you can come out soon.”

Jiang Yichun smiled and nodded, ”Stand a bit farther away, I’m alright.”

She glanced at him again and then walked outside, finding herself inadvertently making eye contact with Gao Zhou, whose eyes showed a hint of heartache and guilt — eyes she had seen somewhere before.

Bai Ruozhu was somewhat absent-minded, only realizing this at the cave mouth, she remembered seeing it in her father’s eyes!

Back when she had just transmigrated, heavily pregnant, with a head injury from Liu San’s wife pushing her down, her mother was dispirited because she thought she shouldn’t have betrothed her to Chang Sheng back then. And her father would often look at her with such eyes, feeling sorry for her being pointed at by the villagers, and blaming himself for his decisions harming his daughter.

But how could such an expression appear on Gao Zhou? Bai Ruozhu increasingly felt that Gao Zhou’s attitude towards Achun was very strange, despite Gao Zhou frequently coming to find her, talking about taking care of fellow villagers, she vaguely felt Gao Zhou was more focused on Achun. Otherwise, why would he, while evading someone, particularly care about him?

By this time, Gao Zhou was already performing the ritual in the cave. He directly cut a notch on Gai Yalai’s wrist, and Gai Yalai fainted from fright after a brief struggle.

Jiang Yichun also felt dizzy and soon lost consciousness.

Gao Zhou hurriedly placed Gai Yalai aside and without dripping her wrist’s blood into the blood pool, instead wiped the dagger clean with his clothing and started to trace over himself.

Where would be the best place to cut?

He thought about it and quietly rolled up his pants, cutting on his calf, while carefully checking the cave entrance, almost like a thief.

He flicked the blood from his calf into the blood pool but soon frowned and muttered, ”Not enough, this is going to cost me my life.”

He again cut the wound deeper with the dagger so that blood flowed more rapidly into the blood pool, eventually it was sufficient.

He quickly tapped his calf several times, then took out gauze from his sleeve and bandaged the wound, finally stepping back to perform the ritual.

At the cave entrance, Bai Ruozhu turned back suddenly and happened to see this scene, she was so shocked she almost bit her tongue.

Gao Zhou wouldn’t know she could see this far, but she saw clearly that Gao Zhou had added his own blood to the pool!

If Achun required blood from close kin to break the curse, and Gao Zhou placed his own blood, does that mean he is Achun’s close kin?

Who is he exactly? Why is Gao Zhou hiding it?

If he didn’t mention needing blood from a close kin, wouldn’t it be more convenient to stealthily add his own blood during the ritual?

Or if he didn’t mention this crucial point, someone like Mr. Yao who is well-informed would surely be suspicious.

Wait a minute!

Bai Ruozhu suddenly caught a point. With Gai Yalai, the biological mother, why did he still need to add his own blood? So did he not use Gai Yalai’s blood?

Unfortunately, she turned back late and didn’t see whether Gao Zhou added Gai Yalai’s blood to the pool.

If Gai Yalai’s blood wasn’t used, does it mean she isn’t Achun’s biological mother?

The problem seems to return to her previous suspicion, but how could the Jiang Family not know about this? This is too convoluted!

”Alright, you can come in now.” Gao Zhou called towards the cave entrance from within the secret chamber.

Bai Ruozhu snapped back to reality, had to set aside these doubts, and quickly rushed towards Achun who was emerging from the blood pool.

Gao Zhou directly pulled off his own outer garment and handed it to Jiang Yichun, his clothes had been soaked and damaged by the blood pool, revealing legs covered in scars, looking quite miserable.

Jiang Yichun hurriedly put on the clothes, seeming greatly relieved.

”Thank you, Senior Gao!” Jiang Yichun saluted Gao Zhou, stepping barefoot on the ground.

Gao Zhou waved his hand, ”It’s nothing.”

His eyes, however, were fixed on Jiang Yichun’s feet, even frowning.

At this time, Gai Yalai had awakened on the side. Seeing her wrist wound, her mouth opened wide as she desperately tried to shout, but she couldn’t make any sound due to the mute point, only her face flushed red with effort.

Bai Ruozhu rushed to Jiang Yichun’s side, but he hurriedly stepped back, ”Don’t, there’s evil energy, I’m afraid it will harm you and the child.”

”Senior, hasn’t the Barbarian Evil Art been broken? Is there still evil energy?” Bai Ruozhu hurriedly looked towards Gao Zhou.

Gao Zhou sighed, ”The resentment of a thousand people is too great, and he was soaked for so long, even though the evil art is broken, and he regained his freedom, he still carries evil energy, and this he feels himself is indeed detrimental to you and the fetus now.”

”How long will it take to be alright?” Bai Ruozhu worriedly asked.

”Hard to say, it will definitely gradually fade, but how long depends on the situation we’ll have to see.” Gao Zhou replied.

While speaking, Gai Yalai madly crawled towards the exit just waking up without standing up, essentially crawling like a dog.

Jiang Yichun took a glance at her, annoyed and frowning, Gao Zhou observing from the side approached and released Gai Yalai’s mute point.

”I want to leave here, I’m scared, my hand hurts terribly, save me!” Gai Yalai looked at Jiang Yichun, filled with a plea in her eyes.

Bai Ruozhu looked at her and couldn’t help but shake her head, she understood ordinary people would be scared here, but every word Gai Yalai said centered around ”me,” showing her inner selfishness, where the most important is always herself, otherwise why didn’t she ask if Achun was out of danger?
