Chapter 150 Fake Corpse
Chapter 150 Fake Corpse
Imperial Censor Li's heart was still trembling. He never imagined that his deceased mother would suddenly "come back to life"!
What surprised him even more was that the old man not only came back to life, but also had enough strength to scold him, his unfilial son.
All that could be heard was the old lady angrily shouting, "You wicked thing, what are you dawdling for? Get me out of this godforsaken place right now!"
"Are you expecting me to just stand by and watch your own mother stay here all this time?"
Faced with his mother's reprimand, Imperial Censor Li looked terrified and at a loss for what to do.
Finally, with the help of Imperial Censor Li and his clansmen, they managed to lift the old lady out of the heavy coffin.
At the same time, the mourning hall that had been set up inside the mansion was quickly removed.
Meanwhile, as usual, Su Yue prepared to go to Old Man Luo's house early in the morning to comb his veins for the third time.
As she walked along the road, she noticed a strange phenomenon: whenever she passed a place where a crowd gathered, she could hear bursts of discussion coming from it.
At first, Su Yue didn't pay too much attention to these gossips.
But as she passed three groups of people gathered together, a few doubts began to arise in her mind.
Because it sounds like everyone is talking about the same thing.
After listening carefully, Su Yue finally understood the focus of everyone's discussion.
It turns out it was about the old lady from Imperial Censor Li's family "coming back from the dead"!
Rumors suggest that the elderly woman had not eaten for several days and had even shown signs of a brief respite before death.
After eating his last meal, he breathed his last.
Once the person is dressed in their burial clothes and lies in the coffin, all that's left is to wait for them to be laid to rest.
However, to everyone's surprise, the old lady miraculously woke up this morning, which was truly unbelievable and chilling.
Once the news spread, it immediately caused a huge uproar, with all sorts of speculations and rumors circulating in the streets and alleys.
Some say it was a blessing from heaven, that they couldn't bear to let the old lady leave like this;
Some people believe that the old lady was possessed by a ghost.
Even more outrageous is the claim that Imperial Censor Li prayed that his mother was not destined to die, that she went to the underworld for a while and then returned...
For a time, opinions were divided, and the more it was spread, the more fantastical it became.
Su Yue hadn't even finished walking this road when she'd already heard all the gossip.
When they arrived at the courtyard where Old Man Luo lived, Lin Cheng was already waiting at the door.
"Miss Su, you've arrived! Come in quickly, Master has woken up and is waiting for you!"
"Okay." Su Yue pushed open Old Luo's door, went inside, and then closed the door again.
"Yue'er is here!" With this shout, Old Man Luo sat on the bed with a big smile on his face.
He looked energetic and vibrant, a stark contrast to his listless state a few days ago; he was practically a different person now.
The reason why Old Man Luo was all smiles when he saw Su Yue was simply that although this girl was a bit lazy, she was kind-hearted and definitely a good child.
At this moment, Su Yue frowned, quickly walked to the bedside, and said reproachfully, "Why don't you lie down and rest properly? Why are you up so early again? You really don't know how to make things easier for me." As she spoke, she had already reached the edge of the bed.
Old Luo chuckled and stretched out his hand, explaining, "I've been lying in bed for too long, and my whole body is aching terribly."
If you hadn't repeatedly told me not to get out of bed, I would have walked over to you myself long ago, saving you the trouble of running back and forth.
Su Yue shook her head helplessly, then gently placed her hand on Old Man Luo's wrist and began to slowly channel spiritual energy into his body.
As time went by, that spiritual energy, like a flowing stream, meandered through Old Man Luo's meridians.
Gradually, the previously blocked blood vessels were cleared one by one.
Not long after, Su Yue slowly withdrew her fair and slender hand.
The moment she stopped, an extremely content expression appeared on the wrinkled face of Old Man Luo sitting to the side.
His eyes were slightly closed, the corners of his mouth were turned up, and his face was full of ecstasy. He looked extremely comfortable, and he was just short of shouting out loud.
Just from his slightly narrowed eyes, one could easily imagine how much he was enjoying this feeling at that moment.
Perhaps for Old Man Luo, this moment was the most comfortable time he could have.
However, no one expected that just as Old Man Luo was completely immersed in this indescribable comfort and unable to extricate himself...
Suddenly, taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, Su Yue swung her small fist and slammed it down hard on Old Luo's stomach with lightning speed.
A muffled "bang" was heard as the solid punch landed squarely on Old Luo's stomach.
Poor old man Luo had no time to react. In an instant, he felt a sharp pain and froze as if struck by lightning.
Then, he couldn't hold back any longer. With a "whoosh," he opened his mouth and a large mouthful of dark blood gushed out like a fountain.
This sudden turn of events didn't frighten Su Yue. Instead, it startled her, and everyone stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.
After Old Luo finally spat out all the black blood from his mouth, Su Yue quickly brought over a steaming cup of tea from the table next to her and carefully handed it to Old Luo, indicating that he should rinse his mouth with the tea.
Old Luo took the teacup with trembling hands. When he glanced at the pool of black blood he had just vomited on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
The black blood looked thick and emitted a pungent odor, making one feel nauseous and want to vomit just by looking at it.
"Alright, you've finally vomited out all the blood clots. Look how weak you are! You'd better stay put and rest properly for the next while, and also take some tonics to help you recover."
As Su Yue spoke, she reached out and took the empty cup from Old Luo's hand.
"Oh dear! This old man has been lucky to escape with his life, all thanks to you." Old Luo truly felt that he was blessed with good fortune.
"Good to know. Look at you, it's only been a short time since we parted, and you're already dressed like a beggar. Hey! Look at me, living in this tall building, it's so comfortable." Su Yue said proudly to Old Man Luo.
"Hey! You little rascal, it seems like it's been so long since I've seen you. Your temper has grown quite a bit." As soon as Old Luo finished speaking, he thought about tapping the little girl on the head.
"Where do you plan to go in the future? Are you going to stay in Kyoto forever?" Su Yue asked curiously.
