Chapter 134 River God Marries
"So the story goes, one day Hua Mulan was leading a charge when suddenly her period came, and she fainted on the battlefield. When she woke up, she found herself in the military tent. The army doctor, upon seeing her awake, exclaimed with joy, 'General Hua, you're finally awake, unfortunately...' (For the complete story, go look it up yourselves, I'm not allowed to write it now) Ahahaha!"
After finishing the story, Big Landlord didn't laugh, but Su Chen started chuckling first.
"What? Not funny?" Seeing Big Landlord's expressionless face, Su Chen was speechless.
This joke was clearly hilarious.
He had told it to his sister-in-law before, and even she, a typically cold person, laughed so hard she couldn't catch her breath.
"Let me tell you another one..."
Su Chen wanted to tell another joke, but Big Landlord, in a deadpan voice, said, "If you're not afraid I'll slash your hands to ribbons, then go ahead, continue, ahahaha, hilarious..."
Finally, Big Landlord burst into a big laugh, having been holding it in before.
Ding! The bullet was finally removed.
Actually, Big Landlord's technique was pretty skilled, and Su Chen didn't suffer too much pain.
Next came the stitching.
The stitching is bound to be more painful than the removal.
After all, the needle has to pass through the flesh.
"We don't really need to do that, do we..." Su Chen swallowed his saliva.
Having fused with Black Stone, such wounds would heal very quickly on their own without the need for stitches.
"How can that be, if we don't stitch it, the wound will be hard to heal," Big Landlord frowned.
"But I'm afraid of pain..."
Big Landlord put away Dagger, then walked over to a cabinet and took out a small bottle.
"Take a whiff of this." Big Landlord opened the small bottle and held it up to Su Chen's nose.
Su Chen took a sniff and immediately widened his eyes, "Didn't you say there was no anesthetic?"
"Who was it that was making fun of me!" Big Landlord huffed.
"You...indeed, a woman's heart is the most poisonous..." Su Chen winced, wasn't he just trying to cheer you up?
Big Landlord didn't say much more, instead, she began to stitch up Su Chen's wound.
Actually, what she wanted to say was that she was afraid she might not be able to resist slitting his throat on the spot if she had used the anesthetic on him.
Of course, Su Chen had no idea what Big Landlord was thinking.
Even Big Landlord herself found it quite strange.
Why didn't she use the anesthetic on Su Chen earlier?
This could have been the best opportunity to kill Su Chen. Help us continue by reading at the source: MV2LEMPYR.
Was it because Su Chen had saved her...
However, if Big Landlord knew that Su Chen actually didn't inhale the anesthetic she handed to him just now, she would be very relieved.
Because if she really had tried to slit Su Chen's throat, she might have ended up dead first.
Although Su Chen was afraid of pain, he would never allow himself to be put in a dangerous situation.
Thus, he had not inhaled any of the anesthetic Big Landlord had offered him.
Even though Big Landlord's strength was far inferior to his, it didn't mean she couldn't threaten him.
As Big Landlord was stitching Su Chen up, she did have those thoughts cross her mind.
The anesthetic she prepared could greatly reduce Su Chen's strength, and if she acted now, she might have more than a fifty percent chance of success.
But the best opportunity was already missed.
If she had administered an anesthetic to Su Chen while extracting the bullet, the probability of killing Su Chen would have almost reached ninety percent.
But she did not do so.
Since she gave up a ninety percent chance, why would she choose a fifty percent success rate?
Might as well consider it repaying the favor for him saving her life.
Soon, the Big Landlord completed the stitching, which looked pretty nice, and Su Chen gave her a big thumbs-up.
"Um, about tonight's incident, I hope Big Landlord won't let my boss know about it, otherwise she'll say I'm neglecting my duties and dock my salary," Su Chen said, turning back to Big Landlord as he left.
Big Landlord glanced at Su Chen indifferently and nodded.
The next morning, Su Chen was awakened by the noise outside.
"Aduo, what happened outside?" Su Chen rubbed his eyes and walked out of the house.
Aduo frowned slightly and said, "Ghost Master has arrived, they say Huo Mei has run away."
"Ah?" Su Chen feigned a look of surprise.
In fact, he knew last night that Huo Mei had escaped.
But that should be a good thing, shouldn't it? After all, Huo Mei is Aduo's relative, and she probably didn't want Huo Mei to be used as a sacrificial offering, to be drowned in the river, right?
But the girl didn't seem too pleased.
"Ghost Master said that Huo Mei's escape has once again enraged the River God. We not only have to find Huo Mei, but also find a new unmarried girl to be the bride of the River God. Otherwise, the River God will spread plague and cause a great flood, drowning our Yangquan Village," Aduo said, biting her silver teeth as she seemed to see the confusion in Su Chen's eyes.
Su Chen frowned, he had known the reason Ghost Master captured Huo Mei last night.
Unexpectedly, this time they were more direct, actually saying the River God wanted to marry.
"Big Landlord, I'll speak bluntly. Huo Mei's escape has incensed the River God. If we do not appease the River God's anger, it will be a disaster for our entire Yangquan Village. And you, as Huo Mei's elder sister, should be punished in her stead, but since you are not of the right age, we can only switch to Aduo. As long as we marry Aduo to the River God, we can obtain the River God's forgiveness."
Su Chen and Aduo hadn't even come out of the cabin when they heard such words.
Looking outside, they saw three Ghost Masters standing in front of the Big Landlord.
And behind the Ghost Masters, many villagers were standing as well.
Aduo naturally heard the words of the Ghost Masters. Her small body trembled slightly, then she turned her head to look at Su Chen, her big eyes filled with panic, and she said softly, "Brother, I don't want to marry the River God..."
Su Chen reached out and gently rubbed the little girl's head, smiling and saying, "Don't worry, brother won't let you marry the River God."
But the little girl was not happy because of Su Chen's words.
For these were the words of the Ghost Master.
Representing the will of the Great Yin Master.
Even the Big Landlord could not defy it.
Looking at the three Ghost Masters, Big Landlord's body was trembling slightly too.
It was these three bastards who almost violated her yesterday.
But after all, they were Ghost Masters.
She dared not act rashly.
"Aduo, she's still so young..." Big Landlord bit her silver teeth tightly, her expression grave.
Ghost Master seemed to have lost patience, directly signaling to the villagers behind him with his eyes. They immediately walked towards the house, trying to seize Aduo.
Seeing this, Aduo naturally hid behind Su Chen.
"Young man, I advise you not to hinder us, otherwise, if you infuriate the Great Yin Master, the consequences are not something you can bear," Ghost Master said to Su Chen with a cold voice.
Su Chen smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I won't stop you."
After speaking, he leaned in and whispered in Aduo's ear, "Aduo, do you trust your brother?"
The little girl was scared, but she nodded, "Aduo trusts Brother."
"Good, then agree to them, marry the River God."
