Chapter 1357 - Come Back to Life?
The beautiful boy was in a daze and didn’t reply. Most of the time, it was the old woman who spoke. Although her face was wrinkled, her expression was very loving.
This boy’s condition was very off!
Not only could Chi Shuyan tell at a glance that something was very wrong with the boy, she felt that his condition was even a little similar to that of the ‘villager’ who had attacked Yang Kun before. The difference was that the boy’s expression was blank from beginning to end and he didn’t attack anyone.
At the same time, Chi Shuyan also realized that the aura around the old woman was actually gray. As Chi Shuyan had said before, there were several types of human aura: Black meant a person had taken a human life, while gray meant that the person was one step away from it. The old woman in front of Chi Shuyan definitely couldn’t be considered a good person. Her aura wasn’t just gray, it was also thick gray, which was no different from having taken a human life – the only difference was the lack of an opportunity.
In other words, this old woman had always wanted to kill someone, but hadn’t found the opportunity.
Chi Shuyan found it hard to imagine that the loving and patient old woman not far away was a ruthless person who wanted to spill human blood. At the same time, she didn’t understand how such an old woman could be the mother of the boy.
But the two of them were indeed related by blood.
Wait, she remembered Wu Haoming saying that the filial son of the Xu family had married a beautiful woman from a minority group.
Even now, the woman should only be about 30 or 40 years old – it was impossible for her to be so old.
What happened to the Xu family back then?
Although Chi Shuyan couldn’t see the slightest bit of beauty on that old wrinkled face, her features were still very similar to the little boy next to her.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but take a few more looks at the backs of the adult and child, many questions in her heart.
For example, what happened to the Xu family back then? Did it have anything to do with the village? For example, whether it was the condition of the ‘villager’ who had attacked Yang Kun previously or this boy’s current state, it was abnormal and strange. What on earth was going on?
Chi Shuyan was lost in thought, and her eyes gradually turned sharp.
Not far away, this Miao woman, who was coughing non-stop, suddenly turned her head sharply. Her cloudy eyes scanned every inch of the courtyard. She didn’t see anything, but she still didn’t look away.
Chi Shuyan didn’t expect a rural villager to be so sharp. The woman’s reaction wasn’t like that of an ordinary villager at all. Chi Shuyan knew that if she stayed any longer, she might not necessarily be exposed, but it would probably arouse suspicion, so she immediately left the courtyard.
After leaving the Xu residence, Chi Shuyan stood on the dark dirt road again with mixed feelings.
When she went back to her accommodation, she didn’t go to sleep right away, but drew some talismans before she lay down to rest.
The next morning, as soon as Chi Shuyan opened her eyes, she heard the agitated and shocked voices of Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan outside. Xiao Shan knocked on her door as he shouted agitatedly, “Sister-in-law!”
Chi Shuyan changed her clothes and opened the door. She saw Xiao Shan pointing at one room with an agitated and stupefied expression. He was so agitated that his words were incoherent. “Sister.. Sister-in-law, it’s bad, it’s bad. It’s.. it’s the corpse! The talisman.. was torn off!”
Chi Shuyan’s face changed and she was about to enter the room, when Wu Haoming also came out in shock. Not only was his face deathly white, his legs were also weak and trembling. It could be seen how agitated he was this morning.
At the same time, there was someone behind him. Who else could it be but the ‘villager’ who had attacked Yang Kun last night?
At that moment, the villager in front of them had regained his senses. His eyes were no longer white and his face didn’t look as pale as last night. He looked very normal, and his words and actions were also normal.
There was some puzzlement in his eyes. He scratched the back of his head honestly and stuttered in embarrassment, “Why.. why am I here?”
This villager’s name was Pan Jiang – everyone else called him Dajiang. He was an honest person in the village. Now that he had suddenly woken up in someone else’s house, he was very embarrassed. His dark face was a little red, and he apologized to Chi Shuyan and the others, and asked in confusion if something had happened last night.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s expressions were indescribable, and their shock didn’t disappear. After all, they had seen with their own eyes how the person in front of them had turned into a corpse last night. Not only that, the two of them had also seriously checked his condition; he didn’t have a heartbeat or pulse, and his body had become stiff and cold. He had completely turned into a ‘dead person.’
historical
Who would have thought that this ‘corpse’ would come back to life the next day?
The two were scared out of their wits.
After what happened with the boy last night, Chi Shuyan already had some guesses in her heart. Now that she saw how this ‘dead’ person had ‘come back to life,’ her expression was calmer and more normal than Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan’s. She still felt a little weird when she looked at the person in front of her, but it quickly disappeared.
Chi Shuyan and the others didn’t speak, and Pan Jiang felt even more embarrassed and apologetic.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes were complicated as she forced out a smile. “It’s fine, it’s not a big deal.”
Seeing the attitudes of these guests improve, Pan Jiang heaved a sigh of relief. The honest man wasn’t a schemer, and his thoughts were written all over his face. At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s voices rang out. “Master Chi, are you there?”
