Chapter 113 - 113 Immediate Revenge
The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife
113 Immediate Revenge
When the crowd saw Zhao Chuchu arrive, they all took a step backward.
Niu An was completely wet from head to toe. He said, âChuchu, I tried my best to rush here and save Junjun. But I was still one step too late. Junjun isâ¦â
Dead.
But Niu An didnât say the last word.
Xie Hengâs eyes had only just recovered, and such a tragic accident happened to Xie Jun.
Heâs not breathing anymore. No matter how good of a doctor Zhao Chuchu was, there was no way she could revive Xie Jun from the dead⦠If only he had run just a little faster just now, Xie Jun would definitely have survived!
Zhao Chuchu didnât say anything. Instead, she took a few big steps forward and crouched down beside Xie Jun. After checking his breath, she tilted Xie Junâs head to one side to check if there was anything in his throat.
The whole crowd stared at Zhao Chuchu. For a moment, the only sound they could hear came from the running river.
At the same time, Xie Heng arrived at the river bank as well. When he saw Xie Jun lying lifelessly, an intense killing intent welled up in his eyes.
âDa Lang, come here,â Zhao Chuchu said when he saw Xie Heng arrive. âHelp me.â
...
Xie Heng suppressed the thought of killing Niu Ziming and stepped forward quickly.
âTake my command later on. When I say one, you pinch Junjunâs nose, cover his mouth, and blow air into his mouth. When I say two, let go. Do it according to my rhythm,â Zhao Chuchu said to Xie Heng at a very fast pace.
âAlright!â Xie Heng nodded, then kneeled beside Xie Jun and got ready.
More and more people came to the river bank to check out what was happening. Some of the women who liked to gossip started to run their mouths again.
âSheâs touching her brother-in-lawâs body. How shameless.â
âI thought Xie Heng was a scholar. So why is he allowing his wife to do something so shameless?â
âHeâs already dead, yet heâs enduring such treatment. How sad!â
Xie Heng was furious. He wanted to say something, but Zhao Chuchu was faster than him.
âAll of you do nothing every day. The only thing you know is to spit crap out of your mouth. If you donât shut your filthy mouths, Iâll press all of you under the water so you get a taste of what itâs like to be groped!â
Once she said that, all of the gossiping women shut their mouths.
The other onlookers criticized them as well, saying, âChuchu is trying to save someone here. Can you guys just shut up and accumulate some karma with your mouth? Arenât you afraid of divine retribution?â
...
Zhao Chuchu ignored them. She said to Xie Heng, âOne!â
Xie Heng followed her instructions.
âTwo.â
âOne.â
âTwo.â
Under the effort of Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu, Xie Jun finally started breathing again.
When Xie Heng sensed Xie Jun breathing, he felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off his heart.
Zhao Chuchu used a slight bit of her healing superpower to help Xie Jun regain consciousness in the shortest possible time.
He opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of water.
The crowd couldnât believe what they were seeing.
Niu Anâs eyes widened.
...
Zhao Chuchu managed to bring Xie Jun back from the dead!
âSis, drowning feels so bad.â The first thing that Xie Jun did was complain. He didnât know the difference between the heart and lungs. He said, âI felt like my heart was about to explode.â
âEverythingâs fine now. Weâll eat a good meal when we get back; then you wonât feel so bad anymore.â Zhao Chuchu pitied him.
âBrother, why are you here as well?â Only then did Xie Jun see Xie Heng.
Xie Heng rubbed his head and said, âI was worried, so I came over to take a look.â
âThere are so many people here.â Xie Jun looked at the large crowd around him and felt rather strange.
Xie Heng said, âYou almost died just now. Some of these people came because they were worried about you, and the others just came to watch. But itâs all over now. So letâs go home first, alright?â
âBrother, all the shepherdâs purses that I dug got washed away by the water,â Xie Jun said, a little upset. âBrother Liang and I took so long to dig them.â
âWeâll come back and dig them again when youâve recovered. But letâs go home first,â Xie Heng consoled him.
âOkay.â Xie Heng looked toward Zhao Chuchu and said, âIâm sorry, Sis. I didnât get you the shepherdâs purse.â
Zhao Chuchu felt something warm trickle through her heart. Xie Jun seemed to be thinking about her more than anything else. She said, âIâve already received your goodwill. Weâll come back again to dig them in a few days.â
...
Only then did Xie Jun nod.
Xie Heng carried Xie Jun, then looked toward the women who were gossiping just now and said, âApologize!â
His voice sounded normal. There was nothing different about it. Yet, it made those women shiver for some reason.
âChuchu is such an amazing doctor. She managed to revive someone from the dead. Thatâs incredible.â
âChuchu, I was just running my mouth without thinking just now. You wonât mind it, right?â
âHe was saved. Thatâs wonderful. You guys should have a good meal and celebrate later.â
They joked and laughed, intending to move on from what they had said earlier.
Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, âHumans wonât be calculative toward mad dogs because if they do, they turn into mad dogs themselves. I am a human, and I speak human language. I donât bark.â
Their smiles froze on their faces.
âIâm not the type to let things slip and move on. I always get my revenge immediately.â
Right after she said that, the gossiping women flew out before they even realized what was going on. They fell into the water one by one, like dumplings falling into soup!
...
âHelp⦠Ahh, helpâ¦â
The water wasnât that deep, and it was not actually possible to drown inside. Yet those people floated and sank nonstop.
Zhao Chuchu looked at them from the shore coldly. Then, she laughed and said, âI didnât do that on purpose. Iâm sure you wonât blame me, right?â
âIâm sorry!â
âI wonât do it ever again.â
âHelpâ¦â
They flailed their limbs in the water and shrieked.
âThis water isnât deep enough to drown in. What are you yelling for?â Zhao Chuchu sneered at their ridiculous act, then turned and left.
They continued yelling.
Someone couldnât stand it anymore and said, âStop it. You might really drown if you continue. Stand up. The water level is lower than your height!â
Upon hearing those words, the âdrowningâ women all stood up straight. They realized that the water only reached their necks. It was indeed impossible for them to drown.
...
Itâs just that when their heads were on the surface just now, they felt like drowning when the river water hit their faces.
âDa Lang, when you return home, get Junjun a change of clothes, then heat up a bucket of ginger water for him to take a bath,â said Zhao Chuchu when she caught up to Xie Heng.
âWhere are you going?â
âIâm going to make the culprit pay for this. I am at fault for what Niu Ziming did.â
âReturn home with me and take care of Junjun. I should be the one seeking revenge for my brother.â
âDa Lang, donât contend with me on this.â Zhao Chuchu looked at him from an angle and said, âIâm more suitable for certain things.â
A scholar should behave like one.
Xie Heng went silent for a while, then said, âOkay.â
âSis, I didnât provoke Niu Ziming. I even tried to evade him every time I saw him. I donât know why he was so mean to me and pushed me into the water.â Xie Jun was still too young. He couldnât figure out how he provoked Niu Ziming at all.
âA mad dog doesnât need a reason to bite people. So donât be afraid. Iâll make him kneel down and apologize to you.â
âSisâ¦â
âGood boy.â
When they reached the fork in the road, Zhao Chuchu went straight toward Niu Zimingâs place.
Niu Zimingâs door was shut tight, but Zhao Chuchu could still hear the conversation going on inside. âZiming, stop packing. Letâs go. When Zhao Chuchu realizes what happened, thereâs no way that we can escape!â
