Chapter 144: Love Poison (Part 2)
Xu Xue looked nervous as she reached out to stroke Zhang Tianyou’s back to calm him down. “Tianyou, don’t speak. Don’t get too excited. My father is just worried about your health.”
Mr. Xu frowned and almost blurted out. “I’m not.”
He didn’t like this new son-in-law at all. He hated him so much. Why should he be worried about him?
To put it bluntly, he wanted Zhang Tianyou to die quickly and not harm his daughter.
Especially when he saw how concerned Xu Xue was about Zhang Tianyou, he felt terrible. He was worried that his daughter was deceived.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan looked at Zhang Tianyou.
Xu Xue’s comforting words did not make Zhang Tianyou feel at ease. Instead, he coughed even harder. How could he not know why Xu Xue cared so much about him?
Xu Xue only loved him in her heart. He was her life. Of course she would say that.
Others were not poisoned by love poison, so they would only pity or despise him.
Zhang Tianyou was very sensitive. He glanced at Liu Sanniang, Chu Yan, and Mr. Xu. They were all looking at him. They must be laughing at him and his pathetic body.
Zhang Tianyou was so excited that he couldn’t calm down. He couldn’t stop coughing. He covered his mouth and said, “Cough, cough, cough, cough. I’m fine. Cough, cough, cough, cough…”
Xu Xue supported him and said anxiously, “Tianyou, don’t scare me, Tianyou.”
Xu Xue’s concern came from the bottom of her heart. Because of the love poison, whenever Zhang Tianyou was sick, she would feel terribly anxious and worried.
Zhang Tianyou also wanted to stop coughing. The more he wanted to, the stronger the urge to cough. No one spoke, and there was only the sound of coughing in the house.
Zhang Tianyou lost his mind. He felt like there were needles p.r.i.c.king his brain. He knew that even if they didn’t say anything, he knew that they must be mocking him in their hearts for being useless.
“Pfft…”
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Xu Xue’s face was pale and she shouted worriedly. “Tianyou…”
Zhang Tianyou fell to the ground weakly. The feeling of suffocation and pain surged, as if a hand had grabbed his throat and squeezed it tightly. He couldn’t breathe, and his lungs were in pain as if they were about to explode.
The veins on Zhang Tianyou’s face bulged. He grabbed Xu Xue and said with difficulty, “G-Grandma…”
As death approached, Zhang Tianyou was extremely afraid. He knew who could save him. He did not want to die yet.
Mr. Xu was shocked and did not hear what Zhang Tianyou said clearly. He asked nervously, “What did he say?”
Xu Xue seemed to know what Zhang Tianyou was thinking. She said to Mr. Xu, “Dad, go look for Tianyou’s grandma. Hurry up.”
Xu Xue had already bent down, carried Zhang Tianyou on her back, and ran out. After Zhang Tianyou appeared, she only had eyes for Zhang Tianyou. She had long ignored Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. After Zhang Tianyou fell to the ground, she even forgot about her father.
If Mr. Xu hadn’t spoken, Xu Xue wouldn’t remember that he was there.
Mr. Xu looked at Liu Sanniang worriedly and quickly followed his daughter .
Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan. “His body is really weak.”
Chu Yan could probably kill Zhang Tianyou with one finger.
Chu Yan nodded. “He’s congenitally deficient. At this age, he’s already at the end of his rope.”
Liu Sanniang frowned. “I think he’s still a little strange.”
She felt a force enveloping Zhang Tianyou and isolating him from all auras.
Liu Sanniang could feel that the source of the power was very pure and strong.
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang lovingly and said gently, “They won’t be back for a while. Do you want to go out for a walk?”
Liu Sanniang quickly looked away, her heart pounding. Why was Chu Yan suddenly looking at her like this? His tone was so gentle.
Liu Sanniang did not dare to look into Chu Yan’s eyes. She felt that if she looked at him any longer, she would fall into his trap.
She replied softly. “Then, let’s go out for a walk.”
The carriage was left in the Xu family’s house. Mr. Xu had fed the horse gra.s.s.
Liu Sanniang still wanted to ask around about Xu Xue. After being blessed with the Buddha light, she had a mission, and that was to subdue demons and purge the evil of the world. This was what she wanted to give back to the universe.
She didn’t know why she had been chosen, but she would do her best to protect this world.
Zhang Tianyou’s coughing alerted the surrounding neighbors. When they saw Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan coming out of the Xu family, a gossipy woman came over and asked. “Hey, Miss, what’s wrong with Zhang Tianyou?”
Zhang Tianyou was a well-known figure in the village. He was born with a congenital deficiency, so everyone thought that he would definitely not be able to survive for long. However, his grandmother managed to keep him alive for 20 years. Although his body was weak, he would always recover no matter what illness he had.
Before Liu Sanniang could speak, the woman went on chattering away. “Miss, you must be frightened. He’s always been like that. Don’t worry, he will recover no matter what. His grandma can cure him. It will only take a few months at most.”
“Miss, why did he cough so badly in the Xu family?”
The woman looked at Liu Sanniang curiously. Since she had taken the initiative to exchange information with Liu Sanniang, the latter should satisfy her.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Nothing happened. He suddenly started coughing non-stop.”
The woman frowned. “Nothing happened? I don’t believe so. Did Xu Xue’s father scold him? Did he provoke him?”
Liu Sanniang shook her head. “No, Mr. Xu didn’t scold him or provoke him.”
The woman pondered for a moment. She looked at Liu Sanniang as if she was trying to figure out whether Liu Sanniang was lying. Liu Sanniang’s eyes were clean and she did not look guilty at all.
The woman lost interest. “Zhang Tianyou is so weak. I wonder if he can live long enough to marry Xu Xue. Tsk tsk…”
Liu Sanniang looked at the woman and asked. “Auntie, who is Zhang Tianyou’s grandma?”
The woman looked around and lowered her voice. “Miss, she’s a capable person. Her medical skills are outstanding, and she can even exorcize evil. This is true. There are people from the other villages who come to seek help from her. Everyone in our village has been helped by her at some point. She can solve anything.”
Without any interesting gossip, the woman was no longer interested in chatting with Liu Sanniang. “The scenery in the fis.h.i.+ng village is top-notch. Have fun.”
For ordinary people, their lives were dull. They liked to ask about interesting things and gossip. Initially, they wanted to ask if Zhang Tianyou’s sudden illness had been triggered by someone. However, that was not the case. Everyone knew that Zhang Tianyou was weak, and they were used to it. Since there was no exciting news, there was nothing to talk about.
The woman went back.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan walked along the road in the village. Some children came back from the beach with wooden buckets. When they saw Liu Sanniang, they couldn’t help but look at her again.
Liu Sanniang’s skin was fair, and there were no spots on her face. She had curved eyebrows, big eyes, and was very beautiful. Her fair skin looked like jade under the sun.
