Godly Farmer Doctor: Arrogant Husband, Can’t Afford to Offend! - Chapter 969
Chapter 969: Trap
His uncle has never married in his life. He has always lived by himself. He was not interested in raising gu. He was even disgusted with it. That’s why his uncle reluctantly passed the gu technique to his mother and only did it after his father died.
Their place was not too far from the top of the mountain. Well, at least it was much closer than from the foot of the mountain.
The grass on the road was dry and yellow. The road was also not as smooth as the road earlier. It can be seen that few people walk in here.
However, they could also vaguely see a few signs of footprints.
The house of Wei Xuan’s uncle was built on the only flat ground on the top of the mountain. And it was slightly larger than Wei Xuan’s house.
The house was made of ordinary wood. It looked much older and have been left unattended for a long time. It looked like a haunted house in the mountains. When the cold wind blows, they had goosebumps on their backs.
Wei Xuan first stood outside the fence in the yard and yelled inward, but no one answered him.
Imperial Doctor Zhong said: “Wei Xuan, since this is your uncle’s house, why don’t you come to clean the house for him when your uncle is away?”
Wei Xuan hurriedly explained: “Uncle has rules. No one is allowed to step into his yard without his permission. It has always been like this. When I lived here when I was young, there were many rules and taboos. I didn’t grow up here. I only lived here for two years, I am not all familiar with it.”
Because he refused to learn how to raise gu at the time, his uncle refused to let him go to the gu cultivating room. Except for the house where he lived and this yard, he had never stepped foot in other rooms. He was allowed to eat and practice in the yard, but most of the time, he was in his room.
Imperial Doctor Zhong suddenly said, “So it was the case. I wronged you. But now your uncle doesn’t seem to be here, can’t we go in?”
Before Imperial Doctor Zhong finished his words, Bai Zhi had already pushed open the gate of the courtyard.
She finally found this place, how could she not get inside?
Thinking that her grandfather was still waiting for her to save him, she was very anxious. So how could she just wait here? She even wishes to grab his uncle’s collar and ask for more details.
Seeing Bai Zhi entered, Wei Xuan’s expression changed. He rushed forward and vigorously grabbed Bai Zhi’s arm, then pulled her back and stood in front of her.
Two *bang* sounds sounded and Wei Xuan snorted twice. A painful expression also appeared on his face.
Imperial Doctor Xu was the closest to Bai Zhi and hurriedly pulled Bai Zhi from Wei Xuan’s hand.
In Imperial Doctor Xu’s opinion, Bai Zhi was Prince Jin’s fiancée, and the person he respected very much. How could he let an unfamiliar man pull her?
Bai Zhi hurriedly asked: “What’s that?”
Wei Xuan hurriedly retreated. When he turned around, there was a clear white mark on his back, like a mark hit by a stone.
Looking at the ground again, there were indeed two square-shaped stones. They were not big, but they don’t know where they came from. It must be very painful to be hit by these.
Wei Xuan smiled bitterly: “I’m fine, these are traps set up by my uncle to prevent outsiders from breaking in.”
With that, Wei Xuan walked to the middle of the yard, where there was a wooden stake mixed with a hemp rope tied to it.
Wei Xuan untied the twine, and there were a few noises sounded in the courtyard, and then the sound disappear.
“Okay, the mechanism has been relieved.” He endured the pain from his back and showed a smile on his face to conceal the pain in his eyes.
Bai Zhi nodded at him: “Thank you, how are you?”
Wei Xuan straightened his back immediately as he blushed: “I’m fine!” Fortunately, his skin color was healthy wheat color because of the sun. The blush on his face was hard to see.
