Chapter 146: Chapter 145 Warning

Gu Youyou hid in a corner, watching the strange interaction between two people, but no sound of speaking came from her mouth, only the sound of the man tearing and chewing the roasted rabbit meat.

Judging by their ages, Gu Youyou thought there was a good chance these two were father and son.

The man ate quickly and soon finished half of the rabbit. The wild man then handed him the medicine pot again, and he took it without hesitation and started drinking from it.

A pungent medicinal smell filled the air in the tomb chamber, which wasn’t ventilated. Gu Youyou sniffed, recognizing a familiar scent.

As she carefully discerned it, she realized the medicine... it smelled so much like the one she had been forced to drink all year in the little black room.

Oh no, that was a poisonous medicine that couldn’t be consumed!

Having previously guessed that they were father and son, Gu Youyou now began to doubt it.

If they were father and son, why would the wild man feed his own son a poisonous medicine?

Could it be... this wild man was deceived just like Gu Feng had been?

Considering this possibility, she looked at the two men across from her with a sense of sympathy.

They were both victims, why make it hard for another victim?

Gu Youyou was quickly weighing her options. Jin Zijin had searched for several years without finding this place; relying on him to arrive soon was obviously unrealistic, and waiting for his rescue was clearly unreliable.

So, she had to find a way to save herself.

She wasn’t sure why the wild man had captured her, but no matter the purpose, it was certainly right to establish a good relationship first and gain his trust.

Having clarified all this, she mustered up the courage to speak to the two men, "Don’t drink that medicine anymore, it’s too cold."

She didn’t directly state that the medicine contained a strange cold poison; that would have to wait until she understood these two men better.

The man in the coffin continued to drink from the medicine pot as if he hadn’t heard her, but the wild man suddenly turned his head around, looking menacingly at Gu Youyou.

Gu Youyou continued bravely, forcing out a smile uglier than crying, and said, "I’m the doctor from the village down the mountain; I mentioned it the first time we met, do you remember?"

The wild man’s gaze was sharp like a knife, causing her to be so frightened that she dared not breathe too loudly.

The other side remained silent, glaring at Gu Youyou with a look full of severe warning. After a while, he tore off a leg from the remaining half of the rabbit and threw it to Gu Youyou.

Gu Youyou was both startled and astonished; she looked down at the rabbit leg, then back up at the wild man who was devouring large chunks of rabbit meat.

Her heart was filled with complex emotions!

What did that glare just now mean? Was he really the father of the man in the coffin? Did he know what that medicine was?

She couldn’t make sense of the various mysteries, and as she wondered, her stomach growled with hunger.

Gu Youyou picked up the rabbit leg, about to take a bite, but then recalled that the rabbit was roasted by the wild man, who was filthy beyond measure, probably not having washed himself in at least a decade; could eating this... cause diarrhea?

What a dilemma, as she looked at the rabbit leg with increasing worry.

The wild man across from her had finished the rabbit. Seeing Gu Youyou staring blankly at the rabbit meat, he suddenly threw a gnawed bone at her.

The bone hit Gu Youyou’s arm, causing a sharp pain.

She cried out, drawing the attention of the man in the coffin who was quietly drinking his medicine.

"You... elder... what are you doing?" she asked.

The wild man eyed the rabbit leg in Gu Youyou’s hand and snorted through his nose, seeming to warn her to hurry up and eat.
