Capítulo 489: Chapter 489: Warning
For a moment, Yang Yingjie wished he didn’t possess his own intelligence.
He wondered if he was being too presumptuous?
Otherwise, why would he be experiencing such a thing?
But all he could do was watch helplessly as Tang Chuxia took out two bones to stabilize his leg.
As Tang Chuxia was setting the leg, she remarked, “Grandpa’s leg was injured when he was young. Look at the pits on it, quite fierce!”
Yang Yingjie contorted his face, really not wanting to use Grandpa Tang’s thigh bone as a splint.
But what could he do?
He couldn’t move at all and could only be tended to by Tang Chuxia.
“Hide well. If we are discovered, I reckon we’ll all be exposed!”
Tang Chuxia warned Yang Yingjie.
He dared not be uncooperative.
As for Jin Haidong, he had once again passed out from the pain, which actually spared them some trouble.
When it came to Lu Qiming, Hu Mingcheng adamantly refused to let Tang Chuxia drag him over; he didn’t want to be bitten on the thigh again.
Tang Chuxia complied with his request, fortunately, Lu Qiming was cooperative, biting down hard on a white cloth.
After everything was dealt with,
Tang Chuxia said with a headache, “My grandparents have really sacrificed a lot this time. To set your legs, they’ve lost half their bones!”
Yang Yingjie clenched his teeth, squeezing out a sentence through them, “Would you like this honor?”
Tang Chuxia uttered an “Ah,” “How could that be? Without my help, do you think your legs would still be intact after getting out?”
It was the truth.
Yang Yingjie had no response.
Only Hu Mingcheng asked weakly from the side, “What are you all talking about? Why sympathize with Grandpa Tang?”
He had joined later and was unaware of the earlier events.
Tang Chuxia tidied up the white cloth and kindly reminded Hu Mingcheng, “This is the white bone of my grandparents; don’t you think it’s been handled quite well?”
Hu Mingcheng turned pale.
He felt like he must be dreaming today; otherwise, how could he be experiencing such a thing?
What did she mean by ‘handled quite well’?
Who in their right mind keeps their grandparents’ skeletal remains close by?
That’s sick!!!
But he couldn’t scream out, because he had already noticed Tang Chuxia letting out a sigh, “I’m a bit tired, be quiet now,” she said. While speaking, Tang Chuxia knocked both Hu Mingcheng and Yang Yingjie unconscious.
She dusted off her hands and walked out.
Su Lan was not here; Tang Chuxia was just curious about why they had captured her and what exactly the calamity on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month was.
Tang Chuxia had to understand.
Now that midnight had passed, technically, the fifth of May had ended, and it was the start of the sixth. So, had the calamity ended?
Tang Chuxia walked through the cave, with her acute five senses aiding her enormously at this time. She could easily track Su Lan’s scent, knowing how she had left.
Watching the entrance of the cave, Tang Chuxia was still astounded; this woman was truly formidable, having actually discovered a cave beneath the cemetery.
Yet she was clearly a “little devil”, somehow more familiar with these lands than she, a citizen of this country.
Some people needed to reflect on why they allowed such a person to be active to this extent?
Tang Chuxia rubbed her wrists and patted her cheeks. Losing six hundred milliliters of blood had brought her quite a bit of trouble, leaving her body feeling somewhat heavy. Thankfully, at this moment, she knew what she should do.
Initially, she had thought that since she was already out, should she take those four burdens with her to leave first? Even if she was curious, she wouldn’t joke about human lives. But just as she was about to move, she heard a voice, though it was very distant, Tang Chuxia could still hear it.
It was Su Lan conversing with someone.
“You’ve been too reckless this time!”
It was a man’s voice. Tang Chuxia grew curious.
She held her breath, lowering her presence, not even daring to get closer, because she was very clear that some people’s five senses might be as sharp as hers. It was safer to just stay here and listen.
She then heard Su Lan say, “Who do you think I did this for? It’s your darling daughter who insisted on showing up!”
The man snorted coldly, “Then you don’t have the right to complain here, your responsibility is to protect her!”
“Heh heh…”
Su Lan’s cold laugh was somewhat unexpected to Tang Chuxia.
“Wu Yue, Tang Wanqiu is your daughter, not mine!”
After Su Lan finished speaking, Wu Yue finally couldn’t take it anymore and scolded, “That’s no excuse for your negligence. I’ve told you not to act on your own; the families behind them are not simple. Affect one hair and the whole body responds. I can deal with one family, but with so many families together, are you trying to kill me?”
Su Lan retorted, “Don’t give me that. That’s your problem, what does it have to do with me? We had an agreement: you provide these people, and I handle the research. But after all this time, if it weren’t for me taking matters into my own hands, we still wouldn’t have captured Tang Chuxia by now!”
She immediately followed with a sentence that made Tang Chuxia very worried, “Besides, Tang Chuxia is someone who knows your daughter isn’t dead!”
Wu Yue didn’t say anything, but Tang Chuxia knew that Wu Yue probably had unfavorable plans for her.
Once they were done using her, it was likely her time to die.
After thinking it over, Tang Chuxia still decided to take people and leave first. Staying here was far too risky.
She definitely didn’t want to take four idiots to their deaths.
She returned the way she had come, to the room, looking at the four individuals who were like lumps of mud.
Based on the conversation she had eavesdropped on, she figured that Su Lan and Wu Yue would probably talk for a while longer; she didn’t have much time.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but be thankful for her miraculous power, which allowed her to quickly take people out.
But the four individuals were indeed not light, to carry two in one hand was still rather exhausting.
Tang Chuxia emerged from underground and looked up at the pitch-dark sky. Although she didn’t know the way out, her nose was sharp, and she made her way out of the cemetery, one step deep and one step shallow.
Just as she stepped out, she heard the sound of a night bird flapping its wings to fly away, and she knew that Su Lan and Wu Yue must have discovered that they were all gone.
Tang Chuxia snorted coldly and started running faster.
It was just because it was dark. If there were any light and someone saw four people flying close to the ground in unison, they’d think their eyes were playing tricks on them.
She ran through the night, unfazed by the branches and stumbling stones, her pace unstoppable while carrying four individuals.
Having finally burst out and arrived in a village, she didn’t want to implicate the villagers, so she continued running towards the direction of the town.
Because in some of the larger towns there were patrol soldiers.
Sure enough, as she approached a town, a flashlight beam swept over.
Then she heard a pitiful scream that pierced the sky, startling Tang Chuxia into a shudder.
“Good gracious, it’s a corpse coming back to life, resurrecting!!!”
