Chapter 194 - 194 Was That Very Hard?
The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife
194 Was That Very Hard?
Zhao Chuchu then told Xie Heng the story about Da Lang in Water Margin.
Xie Heng was speechless.
Looking at the speechless Xie Heng, Zhao Chuchu laughed so hard that she couldnât catch her breath.
Xie Heng sighed and asked, âShould I be glad that you gave me medicine to cure my illness at the beginning instead of poison?â
âDonât worry. I wonât do that to you.â Zhao Chuchu held back her laughter. âYouâre not Zhao Zhizhi, so I wonât kill you. I just thought of this when the people in the village called you Da Lang. So I have no malice.â
âNaughty.â
âOf course, this Da Lang is not that Da Lang in the novel. If I were that woman, Iâm afraid you would have killed me before I could do anything.â
âChuchu, are you so distrustful of me that you are already thinking about finding your next husband?â Xie Heng said slowly, a hint of danger in his tone.
âCan anyone compare to you? That will have to wait until I meet one. At least I will not do this for the time being,â Zhao Chuchu hurriedly reassured Xie Heng.
But sometimes, a straight womenâs words do not work to coax people but rather to exasperate them.
And this was the case with Zhao Chuchu.
Xie Heng did not know whether to laugh or cry.
âChuchu, is this how you talk to people?â
âWell, whatâs wrong with that?â
Xie Heng was happy again.
It was likely that Zhao Chuchu would only treat men as her brothers.
Although he didnât get close to women in his previous life, he knew women were good at calculating, but he had never seen this in Zhao Chuchu.
She was too blunt and did not see herself as a girl.
âAlas, you donât know. I used to deal with rough men every day, and none of them were as refined as you, so Iâm used to speaking bluntly. If you feel offended, you can tell me directly. Donât make me guess.â
Guessing was too tiring.
âNo, itâs fine for you to be like this.â Xie Heng shook his head and smiled at Zhao Chuchu. âYou are lovely in your frankness. Beating around the bush is too tiring. You donât have to be like that in front of me.â
âReally?â
âYeah.â
âThen Iâm relieved.â
Fortunately, Xie Heng was not an old-fashioned nerd. Otherwise, she would have run away immediately when she met him.
âChuchu, can you tell me about your past?â Xie Heng wanted to know everything about Zhao Chuchu.
If Zhao Chuchu did suddenly leave one day, he would at least have a direction to find her.
Zhao Chuchu was suddenly silent when she heard this.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf you donât want to talk about it, I wonât force you.â Xie Heng sensed that Zhao Chuchuâs mood had suddenly become low, so he quickly ended the topic.
Zhao Chuchu sighed softly and said, âItâs not that I donât want to talk about it, but this topic is too heavy, and I donât know how to talk about it. The country I lived in before was truly peaceful and prosperous. Then, however, a disaster fell, and the prosperous world became a purgatory.â
âWhy?â
âIn your words, it was an extremely terrible plague.â
The zombie virus was highly contagious. Once infected, people would either die or become zombies, and there was no way to live. So wasnât it a plague?
âWhat kind of plague?â
âLike the previous plague in the Wei Dynasty. For us, it is actually an ordinary disease, but your immunity is too poor, so for you, it is a plague that is difficult to withstand. But in the end, most people can still survive, right?â
Zhao Chuchu continued, âBut that plague of ours is different. Those who contracted it either killed themselves or became walking corpses before the virus attacked. Thatâs scary, right?â Zhao Chuchu pillowed her hand and looked at Xie Heng.
It was hard for Xie Heng to imagine that kind of scene.
But he knew that Zhao Chuchu did not need to deceive him.
âThen how did you survive?â Xie Hengâs heart ached for Zhao Chuchu. âWas it very hard?â
Zhao Chuchu smiled. âI was fine because I had medical skills. But most ordinary people were either reduced to walking corpses or slaves of the strong. The peaceful world turned into a world of cannibalism and even could not be better than the Wei Dynasty.â
Zhao Chuchu continued, âYou canât imagine that a dynasty like yours is already one or two thousand years old in our place. Unfortunately, the natural disaster drove us backward in history and back to the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood.â
Xie Heng stroked Zhao Chuchuâs head. âYou are now in the Wei Dynasty and will not live that way again.â
âIn our place, people can go up to the sky and down to the sea, but if we have to trade for that kind of price, I still prefer to be in the Wei Dynasty.â Zhao Chuchu looked at Xie Heng. âYou, Junjun, and many other kind people are here.â
âYou are also very kind,â Xie Heng said.
âIâm not. I indirectly killed Zhao Zhizhi to some extent.â
Zhao Chuchu wasnât completely honest with Xie Heng. Although she was touched by Xie Heng, she didnât go so far as to confess everything to him.
Zhao Zhizhi was killed by her.
She didnât think about letting Xie Heng know that she had supernatural powers.
âIf you are merciful to someone who wants to kill you, itâs not called kindness but stupidity. Chuchu, you did the right thing.â
Zhao Chuchu said, âI donât know if any women like Zhao Zhizhi will appear later. If they also come for youâ¦â
âI will solve it.â Xie Heng didnât wait for Zhao Chuchu to finish before interrupting. He said, âThat kind of situation wonât happen again. Why should I accept a woman who treats me well only after knowing my future?â
âThen you donât know that I might know your future as well?â
âYou donât know.â
Xie Heng looked at Zhao Chuchu and smiled.
...
âChuchu, you donât know that you are transparent all over.â
Zhao Chuchu was unhappy.
âDonât say it out, okay?â
Zhao Chuchu felt foolish every time Xie Heng said this.
How could she have guessed that Zhao Zhizhi was reborn and not thought that Xie Heng was too?
It was Xie Hengâs fault for being so calm in the face of death. He was not at all like Zhao Zhizhi, who gave herself away at once.
Zhao Chuchu was glad that the bodyâs original owner was not Xie Hengâs enemy. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would have to waste another life, being killed at the beginning of the journey.
Xie Heng was too calculating and calm.
âI am very reasonable. Even if she was once my enemy, her debt was over when she died. So I will not take it out on you.â
Only a fool would believe this!
Zhao Chuchu did not think so.
...
If it was true, would Xie Heng let her live until he knew that she had changed her soul?
âDa Lang, do you dare swear to God that you will do that?â Zhao Chuchu was not happy.
Xie Heng smiled.
âItâs getting late. You should go to sleep. Donât you have to go to the Qiu clanâs house tomorrow to do acupuncture? Chuchu, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you,â Xie Heng said in a soft voice. âYou donât have to worry too much about other things. Iâm here.â
When he returned, he would tell Zhao Chuchu everything about him.
This was his trust in her.
Zhao Chuchu thought for a moment and suddenly went over and kissed Xie Heng on the cheek.
âGood night.â
Then she quickly laid back down and pulled up the quilt to cover her head.
Xie Heng could still feel her touch. He was petrified, and his mind went blank.
Then he blushed right down to his neck. The hand outside the quilt could not stop shaking slightly.
This was the first time in both his lives that Xie Heng was kissed by a girl, and he could not sleep.
