Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter
Chapter 113 - A zombie in the garden
Chapter 113 A zombie in the garden
“Poisoned? It’s impossible. He didn’t eat anything. How could he be poisoned!” Dong Xinlan shook her son’s body and refused to believe Dr. Ma’s diagnosis. She just let Zhu take some knockout drops to have a good sleep. Luo Baiqian had taken that kind of knockout drops before, but he could still jump and run out after sleeping for a while. Seeing her weak son, Dong Xinlan felt extremely distressed. Turning around, she saw He Danggui who was lying on the other side of the soft couch. She immediately became angry again. Then she wanted to slap He Danggui and scolded, “That jinx has harmed my son. He had nightmares every day after she died! He must be frightened by her!”
At the same time, Madam Luo and Mammy Tang opened their mouths in surprise, “Zhu... didn’t eat anything!”
People couldn’t be disturbed when they were transmitting Zhenqi. Otherwise, not only couldn’t they save others, but they would be in danger. Seeing that Dong Xinlan was going to hurt others, the fake Feng Yang immediately stood behind Ning Yuan and stared at Dong Xinlan coldly. He thought that if he couldn’t scare her away, he would have to make an exception to hit a woman. Dong Xinlan felt the danger from the fake Feng Yang and couldn’t help slowing down. Then she turned around to attack He Danggui from the side where Nie Chun stood. Today, she determined to discipline He Danggui. This coquette was repugnant when she was alive, and harmed her son after she died!
Getting a glimpse of Dong Xinlan’s clothes fluttering on his back, Nie Chun immediately pushed his elbow back, took off Dong Xinlan’s arm and shook her away.
Dong Xinlan felt that her right arm was numb, and then she couldn’t control it. Although she was not very painful, as a noble woman, she had never dislocated, so she burst into tears then and there, which destroyed her makeup. Luo Baiqian ran to her and held her up. He asked angrily, “Why does Zhu have nightmares every day? Did he push the Third Sister down from the rockery last time? Why do you know everything but I know nothing?”
Dong Xinlan kept moaning in pain and crying, but refused to answer these questions of Luo Baiqian. Seeing Nie Chun hit his mother to cry, and remembering that he also killed his lovely pets before, Wei rushed up and slapped Nie Chun’s feet after all the hatred came up. He complained loudly, “You killed my lovely pets! You’re the murder! You’re the devil!” Nie Chun frowned and snorted, “Idiot!” Then he kicked the kid on his feet to Luo Baiqian.
Luo Baiqian caught his son who flied towards him. He didn’t have time to take revenge on Nie Chun, but held his son and scolded him, “You damned fool! How can you keep that kind of thing as a pet?” Thinking of the moving black spots on the belt under the pillow yesterday, Luo Baiqian couldn’t help shivering, so he stared at his son fiercely and said, “From now on, you can’t keep anything alive. If I find you keep those things again, I will castrate you!”
Wei kept shaking his head, opening his mouth and crying, “Dad is a bad dad. Mom is better! Mom said as long as I put my pet in the yard of the bitch He, I can keep my pets as much as I want!”
Dong Xinlan’s expression changed rapidly. She raised her left arm and slapped her son in the face, “What are you talking about? Who let you put the mouse in He Danggui’s yard?”
Then Wei cried more loudly, “Mom is also a bad mom! You break your promise! You praised me for this last time. You said you would give me prizes, but now you hit me!” Dong Xinlan was so regretful that she wanted to bump her head. Why did she bring this little devil with her? He exposed everything! At the moment, Dong Xinlan’s right arm could not move at all. Seeing Zhu whose body was convulsing in couch and Wei venting his anger on the ground, Dong Xinlan suddenly cried, “What a miserable destiny I have! I often have troubles. No one upholds justice for me. Third Aunt, why don’t you come to save me? You’ve made me miserable!”
Madam Luo beat the couch angrily, “Shut up! Zhu is still alive! Why do you begin to say unlucky words! Qian, let your wife shut up!”
Luo Baiqian’s eyes immediately became bright and excited. He almost kowtowed and said thankfully, “Yes, I will do that!” He instantly took off the sweatband at his waist. Holding Dong Xinlan’s hair with one hand, he used the other hand to wrap Dong Xinlan’s head around three or four circles with the sweatband, blocking her mouth tightly. Dong Xinlan kept struggling. Her gold hairpins and silver hair accessories fell to the ground. She also scratched Luo Baiqian’s neck with her left hand, leaving three blood stains. Luo Baiqian was extremely angry and immediately dislocated Dong Xinlan’s left arm. But he was not as skilled as Nie Chun. He almost pulled the arm to dislocated with brute force, making Dong Xinlan tear ceaselessly.
After dealing with Dong Xinlan, Luo Baiqian looked down at his son on the ground again. Wei was so scared that he stopped crying immediately. Therefore, the room quickly became quiet!
Mammy Tang shook her head and sighed. In a short time, it caused a shocking commotion and Luo’s Family lost face completely in front of the guests. Mammy Tang turned to look at the other side. Zhu who was salivating lay on the left side of the soft couch. Dr. Ma, Dr. Wu and Madam Luo were diagnosing him. On the right side of the soft couch was lying the Third Miss who was breathless. Nie Chun and the sick guest were warming her hands... Mammy Tang was particularly surprised that the “bloodshed disasters” were really confirmed, but she didn’t expect that the Third Miss would die!
“Someone died! Someone died! Madam Luo, it’s in trouble. Someone died...” Shi Liu and Pu Gongying shouted and ran into the door in a panic.
Mammy Tang stamped her feet and shouted, “What are you talking about? Madam Luo is very fine! Are you here to make a mess? If the Third Miss died, you should say ‘suffering misfortune’ or ‘be in heaven’. How can you say ‘died’?”
Pu Gongying trembled and replied, “But he really died. Mammy, everyone has seen it. There is a... zombie in the garden of the atrium!”
“Zombie?” Nie Chun turned around, “What kind of zombie?”
Pu Gongying trembled and had to support Shi Liu’s shoulder to keep standing up. She was very scared, gesticulated and described, “There is a blood hole in its neck, but there is no blood on the ground. The face is extremely pale. Everyone said that it’s a zombie whose blood was sucked up!”
Nie Chun pondered and asked, “Is the zombie’s face pure white? Is there anything strange on the face?”
Pu Gongying ran away with only a quick glance, so she couldn’t answer this question. Then she turned to Shi Liu. Shi Liu grinned and tilted her head, replying crisply, “Although its face is pure white, when you look carefully, you will find that there are many blue striations under the skin, with horizontal and vertical striations. They crisscross like a honeycomb.”
Nie Chun and Ning Yuan turned around at the same time and exclaimed, “Honeycomb? Blue striations like a honeycomb?” These two people had never met before. Now, it was a bit awkward to stand side by side to deliver Zhenqi to the same person. Now they said the same thing, so they felt more awkward. At the same time, they exclaimed in mind together, “Does he also know the Miao Shi Arts? Who is he?”
Shi Liu nodded and sighed, “It’s terrible that an alive person becomes a zombie after only one night! When a fire broke out in the Bitter Bamboo Grove last night, he said hello to me and asked me the direction!” Pu Gongying also nodded in agreement, “Yes, he must have been taken away by monsters at night and made into a zombie!”
There was chilling light in Nie Chun’s eyes. According to their description — there was a hole in the neck of the dead; his blood was sucked up; and after death, there were blue striations like a honeycomb on his face — it was obvious that he was used as a furnace tripod for cultivating Miao Shi Arts, one of the four evil martial arts. Miao Shi Arts was insidious and merciless, with many restrictions for cultivation. If there were any problems, people who cultivated it might become possessed. Therefore, there were few people cultivating it in the world. However, now there was just a person who was obsessed with Miao Shi Arts in Bitter Bamboo Grove of Luo’s Mansion. Nie Chun gnashed his teeth, “Damn! Geng Bingxiu promised me that he would not hurt anyone in Luo’s Mansion, but he actually broke his promise!”
“Who died?” He Danggui opened her eyes and asked.
Pu Gongying had just come into the room. She didn’t know that the Third Miss was breathless just now, so she wasn’t as shocked as others when the Third Miss suddenly spoke. Pu Gongying thought for a moment, and asked, “Third Miss, that little maid of yours who is over 10 years old, is she Chan Yi?”
“Chan Yi?!” He Danggui immediately sat up from the couch and asked, “What happened to her?” Pu Gongying waved her hand and didn’t answer. Then she looked at the fake Feng Yang and asked, “Guest, do you bring two servants called Feng Yan and Feng Yu?” The fake Feng Yang nodded hesitantly.
Pu Gongying put up three fingers and said, “The three of them found the zombie firstly. The two servants were frightened and trampled on a precious white orchid in the atrium. Now they have been detained by Administrator Li. Administrator Li asked for 15 Liang silver to redeem them and let me tell their master that during the detention, he only provides tea but not food for them. However, after drinking tea, the three people murmured ceaselessly, which annoyed Administrator Li. He hopes that you can redeem them as soon as possible.”
He Danggui secretly gave a sigh of relief. Her hands held by Ning Yuan and Nie Chun to transmit Zhenqi trembled unconsciously. She asked, “What about Chan Yi? Does she also trample on something and is detained?”
Pu Gongying shook her head and said, “Oh, she hasn’t been detained, but she seems to be frightened by the zombie, so she is only willing to follow the two servants. Just now, I saw that her face was covered with mud, so I asked her to come back with me for washing, but she refused to go with me. When are you going to redeem them, guest?”
Before the fake Feng Yang spoke, Mammy Tang interrupted, “Is Li stupid? How could he ask our guests to compensate?” Turning around, she said to Deng Cao, “Go and lead them back, and tell Li to charge this to the public account.”
After Deng Cao left, He Danggui lay back on the couch. At this time, Ning Yuan and Nie Chun were still transmitting Zhenqi to her.
At first, He Danggui wanted to orchestrate a story that the Third Miss who was weak recovered her memory after stimulation. In order to make the effect more realistic, she secretly used a silver needle to suppress her pulse and heartbeat to make herself in slow breathing, but she was conscious and breathing. Originally, she didn’t plan to let others think that the Third Miss died. But after Madam Luo first said that she was dead, Nie Chun, Luo Baiqian and Ning Yuan took turns to feel her pulse and her heartbeat, but no one check if she was breathing.
At the beginning, she hesitated to pretend to wake up by herself, but as Ning Yuan and Nie Chun began to transmit Zhenqi to her, she decided to continue to play dead for a while. She found that after the two kinds of cold and warm Zhenqi were injected, the original insubordinate Zhenqi in her body was gradually smoothed down. The Zhenqi was also obediently collected in the Dantian, making her whole body warm and comfortable. Later, when Pu Gongying and Shi Liu came in to talk about the zombie, although they didn’t mention Chan Yi, she was worried about Chan Yi all the time. In addition, hearing some words like “an alive person becomes a zombie after only one night”, she could not help opening her eyes to inquire about the details of the zombie. But Pu Gongying didn’t explain things quickly and completely, which really frightened He Danggui.
“Bang!” Ning Yuan’s fan pendant suddenly fell on the pillow beside He Danggui. When he bent down to pick up the fan pendant, he approached her ear and whispered, “You also care about others, little girl. Ah, this is your weakness.”
When Madam Luo saw that He Danggui woke up, she immediately moved over from Zhu to see her situation. Seeing that He Danggui was fine, she said happily, “Bless you. The immortal blesses you!”
“I should thank Uncle Nie and the guest,” He Danggui said gratefully, “If they didn’t give me the unique Zhenqi of martial artists, I couldn’t wake up now.” Then she said to Nie Chun who was proud and Ning Yuan who was smiling, “Danggui thanks for the help of uncles.” Ning Yuan’s smile froze for a moment.
After listening to this, Mammy Tang and Luo Baishao, who knew nothing about kung fu, both exclaimed in surprise, “This is the legendary transmitting skill!”
“Do you want to continue?” Nie Chun snorted.
He Danggui squinted and said weakly, “In fact, I am still a little dizzy. Uncle Nie, if you are not in a hurry to leave… let’s continue for a while.” After the disorder of Zhenqi yesterday, she was really frightened by the bleeding from seven orifices, so she made up her mind to solve the problem of taking care of Zhenqi by herself as soon as possible. Now, when the two kinds of warm and cold Zhenqi were alternately transmitted, the Zhenqi in her body gradually started to move regularly. Then she gradually had a little understanding of the method for controlling the Zhenqi and using the internal force, so she didn’t want to miss this good opportunity to learn.
Nie Chun snorted discontentedly, but he didn’t take his hand away. He just turned around and asked Pu Gongying, “Who died?”
