Wu Ge, responsible for guarding Mr. Si Meng at the foot of the mountain, had no major incidents. After all, the old man was already on the verge of death and couldn't struggle anymore.
The only thing that made people anxious was that Mo Jin Nian and Mo Jiuye had been in the mountains for a whole day without any news coming back, which made Wu Ge uneasy.
At this time, it should be the time when people slept the most soundly, but Wu Ge didn't feel sleepy at all.
He worried that old fox Si Meng would play tricks, but more importantly, he was concerned about the safety of his two brothers.
When he heard faint footsteps coming closer from the mountain and could determine that it was not the two of them, Mo Chongyuan first glanced at Mr. Si Meng, who looked like a dead dog, and then jumped off the carriage.
As the sound got closer and closer, he asked in a deep voice, "Who goes there?"
Upon hearing Wu Ge's voice, Mo Jiuye quickly responded, "Wu Ge, it's me."
"Jiuye, you're back? Is everything going well?"
Mo Jiuye was eager to save his father, so he didn't have time to explain too much.
"Wu Ge, I've rescued Father and our two elder brothers. Father is not in a good condition. Let's hurry back to Xiling Village."
Upon hearing Mo Jiuye's words, Wu Ge shifted his gaze to the two figures behind him.
By now, the sky was slightly brightening, and the night pearl was of no use. The eldest brother and the second brother had been tormented for many years, and their appearances had changed significantly. For a moment, Wu Ge couldn't recognize them at all.
However, judging from Jiuye's words, Wu Ge guessed that the people behind him were probably their father and brothers.
At this moment, the second brother had already brought their father to Mo Chongyuan's side.
"Wu Ge, take us to the carriage quickly."
Although the second brother's figure had changed, his voice hadn't changed much.
Upon hearing this long-lost voice, tears welled up in Mo Chongyuan's eyes.
"Is it the second brother?"
"It's me."
The eldest brother also walked over at this time. He bypassed Mo Jiuye and came to Mo Chongyuan's side, gently patting his shoulder. "Wu Ge, I'm the eldest brother."
"Eldest brother." Although Mo Chongyuan didn't know the condition of his father, he could tell from Jiuye's tone that the situation was urgent. Therefore, he couldn't care too much about his two elder brothers. He just greeted them and led the way towards the carriage.
When they reached the front of the carriage, Wu Ge asked first, "Jiuye, is that despicable old thing taken care of?"
Seeing that disgusting old man, Wu Ge felt extremely uncomfortable.
Now that Jiuye had successfully rescued their father and two elder brothers, he no longer had to look at Mr. Si Meng's annoying face all day long.
"Wu Ge, wait a moment. I'm not sure if he can still be of use."
At this moment, Mo Jiuye didn't hold any illusions. He was too worried about his father's condition.
Instead of rushing back to Xiling Village, he wanted to try if Mr. Si Meng could remove the curse on his father.
As he spoke, Mo Jiuye took big strides forward, opened the carriage door, and pulled out Mr. Si Meng, who was like a dead dog.
Then he turned to the second brother and said, "Second brother, you accompany Father onto the carriage first."
Second Brother knew that at this moment, Father needed a more comfortable environment. Compared to being carried outside by himself, Father would be more at ease inside the carriage.
So he nodded and carried Father into the carriage.
Fifth Brother followed suit and jumped in as well.
Although Mr. Si Meng was in the carriage every day, considering the extent to which the Mo brothers hated him, how could he possibly allow him to rest too comfortably?
Therefore, the interior of the carriage was bare and stiff. After Fifth Brother got on, he first tidied it up, laid the quilt that was placed aside, and then gently placed Father on top.
At the same time, he thoughtfully brought some water and tried to feed Father with it.
Outside the carriage, Mo Jiuye sprayed a mouthful of water all over Mr. Si Meng's face.
The old fox, who had felt drowsy, instantly felt much more awake.
Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Mo Jiuye's tall figure standing in front of him, which obviously surprised him.
"You... are you a human or a ghost?"
Mr. Si Meng thought that Mo Jiuye would undoubtedly die when he entered the Sixth Hill of Traps. Now that he saw him, the first thing he thought was that he might have also died. To confirm this idea, he asked this question.
Mo Jiuye snorted coldly, "Based on the things you have done to my Mo family, do you think I would let you die so easily?"
In fact, Mr. Si Meng asked that question just now because his mind had been drowsy for too long, causing him to be somewhat confused.
After listening to Mo Jiuye's words, he quickly reacted because the pain and weakness in his body were too real.
If he really died, he shouldn't have such feelings.
"Mo... Mo Jiuye, just kill me!"
No matter what, Mr. Si Meng couldn't figure it out. How could Mo Jiuye, who entered the Sixth Hill of Traps full of poison, come back alive?
Even if he was curious in his heart, he didn't dare to ask, because in doing so, he would admit that he deliberately sent the Mo brothers to the Sixth Hill of Traps with the intention of taking their lives.
At this moment, Mo Jiuye was concerned about Father's condition and had no interest in playing dumb riddles with the old fox.
"I'm asking you, is it possible to remove the gu worms in my father's body?"
After hearing Mo Jiuye's question, Mr. Si Meng's mind froze.
In his opinion, even if the Mo brothers managed to evade the poison traps he set and enter the interior, they wouldn't be able to come out alive, let alone find Mo Qing.
If they were lucky, they might be able to see Mo Family Eldest Son and Second Son, but even then, they would die at the hands of their own blood brothers.
But what did Mo Jiuye ask him?
Mo Jiuye asked him if he could cure Mo Qing of the gu worms?
In that case, did they successfully rescue Mo Qing?
A series of question marks appeared in Mr. Si Meng's mind.
In order to seek answers, he didn't immediately cut off the conversation.
"The gu worms in your father's body were placed by my own hands, and I control him with my lifebound gu worm. I can naturally remove the worms in his body."
Regardless, he planned to stabilize Mo Jiuye first. If he could escape as a result, it would be even better. Even if he couldn't, he could still learn some information.
If Mr. Si Meng had responded with hesitation or shown reluctance to help his father break the curse, Mo Jiuye might have continued to negotiate with him.
However, since this cunning old fox agreed so readily, Mo Jiuye could fully understand his intentions.
The old fox was simply stalling for time or figuring out a way to retrieve his life-saving curse from him and then make a swift escape.
Given the circumstances, Mo Jiuye had no choice but to give up on this almost impossible opportunity to help his father break the curse.
"If you think you can get your life-saving curse back through this, you can forget about it!"
At this point, in Mo Jiuye's mind, there was no longer any need to keep Mr. Si Meng around.
Seeing that his intentions were exposed, Mr. Si Meng forced himself to laugh heartily despite his frail body.
"Hahaha... Mo Jiuye, is it possible that Mo Qing is already at his limits?"
