Chapter 1364: What on Earth Happened?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Chi Shuyan heard Xiao Shan’s words, she couldn’t be bothered with Ruan Shenglin and the others any longer. After saying a few words to them, she went inside. Ruan Shenglin and the others also knew that Master Chi probably had something urgent to attend to, so they didn’t disturb her.
Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun looked at each other and planned to go back and immediately get their friends to hurry and buy some talismans from Master Chi and deal with the Buddha statue.
If their friends weren’t willing, they would try their best to con them into buying the talismans. Whatever the case, they had to get their friends to buy talismans for protection. As for whether or not everybody else bought them, they didn’t care. Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun had already tried to persuade them – it was the other party’s own business whether they bought talismans or not. There was no need to care if they didn’t.
When she went back inside, Chi Shuyan saw that Brother Feng was really awake. Wu Haoming was bringing him water to drink, and Brother Feng was gulping down the water from a bowl. Apart from his pale face, he didn’t look sick at all. Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief.
After Feng Yuanlin finished his water, he saw Shuyan standing at the door and staring blankly at him. He couldn’t help but smile and tease, “What, Shuyan, after not seeing me for a few days, you don’t know me anymore?”
!!
Xiao Shan cheered happily on the side. “Director Feng, it’s good that you’ve recovered. That’s great! It’s fine now!”
Wu Haoming had been accompanying Director Feng lately, and their relations.h.i.+p was really good. Seeing that Director Feng had woken up, he was in a very good mood. Afraid that Director Feng would be thirsty again and didn’t have enough water, he immediately picked up the metal kettle and poured cold water into the bowl on the wooden table next to the bed.
Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but be amused when he saw this. He deliberately glared at Wu Haoming and teased, “Do you think I’m a bucket? I just drank a big bowl of water. Do you think I can still drink another big bowl?”
Feng Yuanlin’s words amused Chi Shuyan, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan. They were finally sure that Brother Feng was really fine. Otherwise, how could he still be joking around? The atmosphere immediately became even more harmonious.
Chi Shuyan’s heavy heart was also lifted. She smiled and walked over. She pulled out a chair and sat in front of Brother Feng’s bed. “Brother Feng, it’s good that you’re fine!”
Otherwise, she would have fed Brother Feng another Nourishment Pill tonight. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had an ordinary body, she would have fed him other pills with spiritual energy and especially good medicinal effects, such as the level 3 Energy Recovery Pill.
The level 3 Energy Recovery Pill could swiftly repair internal injuries and nourish the body, and had far better effects than the Nourishment Pill. However, ordinary people couldn’t take the spiritual energy. Even if Chi Shuyan could help them absorb the spiritual energy, they would still have to absorb a portion of it themselves. In short, no matter how good the medicinal effects were and how abundant the spiritual energy was, ordinary people couldn’t afford the pills that cultivators needed.
Feng Yuanlin wouldn’t admit that he was weak, and immediately retorted, “I’m in good health. Who says I’m not?”
After scolding them, Feng Yuanlin saw that only Shuyan, Old Wu and Old Xiao were in the room. He looked around and felt that something was missing.
Wu Haoming and the others were a bit puzzled. What was Director Feng looking at? Was he looking at them to see if they had changed in the past few days?
Director Feng suddenly asked, “Where’s Zhenbai?”
At the mention of Qi Zhenbai, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan’s expressions also changed. Firstly, they hadn’t seen him for the past few days. This village was so dangerous, and they were afraid that something might have happened to that Qi family member. Secondly, too many things had happened in the past two days, so no one had paid special attention to President Qi.
Of course, the main reason was that the two of them had always treated President Qi as a very capable person and never thought that something would happen to him. Furthermore, this President Qi was also the famous Chief Qi, who had obtained countless military merits. Who could hurt him?
Chi Shuyan said at that moment, “He’s fine! He’ll probably be back in a day or two!”
She wasn’t being perfunctory, but was telling the truth. Although the two of them had broken up, they had once been together and had a close relations.h.i.+p. Their karma hadn’t been completely severed yet. If something really happened to the other party, she would naturally be able to sense it immediately. This was also the reason why she wasn’t worried when the man hadn’t come back a few days ago. In addition, there was the purple aura around him and the treasure she had given him. She really didn’t think anything would happen to Qi Zhenbai. This man hadn’t come back for a long time, so he had probably found out something about the village.
Chi Shuyan also hoped that the other party would come back as soon as possible, and that he had really found something.
Feng Yuanlin had never doubted Shuyan’s words, so when she finished speaking, his heart, which had been in his throat, settled back down.
At that moment, Wu Haoming suddenly asked, “Director Feng, what on earth happened when you left the village? How did you…” He didn’t say the words ‘buried alive’ out loud, and was still in shock when he thought about it.
As soon as Wu Haoming spoke, Xiao Shan also remembered that Director Feng had been saved by President Qi at that time. He said, “Director Feng, who knew where President Qi carried you back from, but you reeked of mud and dirt. President Qi said that you were almost buried alive. After you were saved, you kept vomiting blood, scaring Old Wu and me to death.”
At that moment, when Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming recalled how Director Feng had vomited blood and convulsed, they shuddered violently. After a pause, they added, “That’s right, fortunately, Sister-in-law had a solution, which is why you’re fine!”
When Feng Yuanlin heard the words “buried alive,” his eyes suddenly sank and he looked at Shuyan gratefully. Needless to say, who else could have saved him but Shuyan?
Chi Shuyan met Brother Feng’s grateful gaze and said, “Brother Feng, are you planning to treat me like an outsider? There’s no need to say anything. It’s good that you’re fine!”
These words warmed Feng Yuanlin’s heart. He felt that the luckiest thing in his life was getting to know Zhenbai and Shuyan.
Feng Yuanlin wasn’t an unreasonable person. If it were an outsider, no matter how grateful he was, he would still have to thank them on the surface. As for Shuyan, he had long treated her as his own sister. There were times when he didn’t need to say anything, but Shuyan could still sense his grat.i.tude. Besides, Zhenbai and Shuyan had saved his life; how could just a few words of grat.i.tude be enough?
He made up his mind that after this incident in Dashan Village, he would secretly try his best to get the two of them back together again. While Zhenbai and Shuyan hadn’t said much about breaking up, it wasn’t like he couldn’t see the distance between them.
Feng Yuanlin secretly complained about his friend. He actually lost such a good wife. If someone else cut in, that kid would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
Zhenbai wasn’t here. Feng Yuanlin sighed and didn’t say much about their relations.h.i.+p as his thoughts returned to what was happening in this village instead. Even if he wanted to get the couple back together, he was powerless, and now really wasn’t a good time.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know what Brother Feng was thinking about, and asked, “Brother Feng, what happened when you left the village?”
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan focused when Chi Shuyan asked the question. The two of them really couldn’t think of who would be able to bury Director Feng alive.
Wu Haoming first recounted everything that had happened in the village recently to Director Feng, including the incident with Yang Kun and how Master Chi had almost been hit by a huge rock on set. He and Xiao Shan had also been invited to dinner by some villagers, and the talismans turned black. As he spoke, he patted his chest in shock. “Director Feng, the more I think about it, the more I feel that there’s really something wrong with this Dashan Village. It’s not just the village – there’s also something wrong with the people here, but I don’t know what. We’ve been very uneasy these past few days in the village. Director Feng, why don’t we leave the village as soon as possible?”
When Wu Haoming mentioned leaving the village and thought of what happened to Director Feng, his feelings immediately turned sour and he looked listless.
When Xiao Shan heard Wu Haoming persuade Director Feng to leave the village, he was also a bit excited. When he saw Wu Haoming’s listless expression, he also thought of what happened to Director Feng, and his expression turned sour.
As Feng Yuanlin listened to Old Wu, his eyes grew darker and darker. He also knew that Old Wu and Old Xiao had suffered a fright in the past few days, and didn’t blame them for wanting to leave the village as soon as possible. However, he asked, “You can leave if you want to. Are you able to?”
The two obediently shut up.
Feng Yuanlin looked at Shuyan with an incomparably solemn expression. Chi Shuyan’s expression was just as solemn and apprehensive. To be honest, the longer she stayed in this village, the more uneasy she felt. A few things had happened recently, but apart from the accidental death of a member of the film crew, Yang Kun’s matter wasn’t a big deal.
The other people in the film crew who had invited the Buddha statue in were fine and went about filming as usual, but Chi Shuyan still felt very uneasy. The closer it got to the birthday of the True Buddha in the village, the more apprehensive she felt. She felt that everything wasn’t as calm as it seemed on the surface, and that a storm was coming.
What she didn’t tell anyone was that she felt a little more suffocated with every new day that the sun rose in the village. The sense of urgency she was feeling had inexplicably increased, making her very irritated. She had a strong intuition that it was best for her to leave the village as soon as possible with Brother Feng and the others. As for the secrets of the village, she mustn’t delve into them.
She hadn’t told anyone this before Brother Feng woke up, and Qi Zhenbai hadn’t returned for a long time. As for Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan, Chi Shuyan didn’t dare agitate them too much.
Now that Brother Feng had woken up, she should relax, but she couldn’t. She thought for a moment and prepared to tell him the truth about her uneasiness. She deliberated for a moment before she said, “Brother Feng, this village is filled with mysteries, and it gives me a very bad feeling. In fact, what Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan said just now might not be bad. If we can’t learn anything in a day or two, why don’t we leave the village first?”
