Chapter 194 - 194 Was That Very Hard?
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 couldn’t catch her breath.
Xie Heng sighed and asked, “Should I be glad that you gave me medicine to cure my illness at the beginning instead of poison?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t do that to you.” Zhao Chuchu held back her laughter. “You’re not Zhao Zhizhi, so I won’t kill you. I just thought of this when the people in the village called you Da Lang. So I have no malice.”
“Naughty.”
“Of course, this Da Lang is not that Da Lang in the novel. If I were that woman, I’m afraid you would have killed me before I could do anything.”
“Chuchu, are you so distrustful of me that you are already thinking about finding your next husband?” Xie Heng said slowly, a hint of danger in his tone.
“Can anyone compare to you? That will have to wait until I meet one. At least I will not do this for the time being,” Zhao Chuchu hurriedly reassured Xie Heng.
But sometimes, a straight women’s 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.
“Chuchu, is this how you talk to people?”
“Well, what’s wrong with that?”
Xie Heng was happy again.
It was likely that Zhao Chuchu would only treat men as her brothers.
Although he didn’t 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.
“Alas, you don’t know. I used to deal with rough men every day, and none of them were as refined as you, so I’m used to speaking bluntly. If you feel offended, you can tell me directly. Don’t make me guess.”
Guessing was too tiring.
“No, it’s fine for you to be like this.” Xie Heng shook his head and smiled at Zhao Chuchu. “You are lovely in your frankness. Beating around the bush is too tiring. You don’t have to be like that in front of me.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Then I’m relieved.”
Fortunately, Xie Heng was not an old-fashioned nerd. Otherwise, she would have run away immediately when she met him.
“Chuchu, can you tell me about your past?” 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.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you.” Xie Heng sensed that Zhao Chuchu’s mood had suddenly become low, so he quickly ended the topic.
Zhao Chuchu sighed softly and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to talk about it, but this topic is too heavy, and I don’t 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.”
“Why?”
“In your words, it was an extremely terrible plague.”
The zombie virus was highly contagious. Once infected, people would either die or become zombies, and there was no way to live. So wasn’t it a plague?
“What kind of plague?”
“Like 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?”
Zhao Chuchu continued, “But that plague of ours is different. Those who contracted it either killed themselves or became walking corpses before the virus attacked. That’s scary, right?” 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.
“Then how did you survive?” Xie Heng’s heart ached for Zhao Chuchu. “Was it very hard?”
Zhao Chuchu smiled. “I 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.”
Zhao Chuchu continued, “You can’t 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.”
Xie Heng stroked Zhao Chuchu’s head. “You are now in the Wei Dynasty and will not live that way again.”
“In 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.” Zhao Chuchu looked at Xie Heng. “You, Junjun, and many other kind people are here.”
“You are also very kind,” Xie Heng said.
“I’m not. I indirectly killed Zhao Zhizhi to some extent.”
Zhao Chuchu wasn’t completely honest with Xie Heng. Although she was touched by Xie Heng, she didn’t go so far as to confess everything to him.
Zhao Zhizhi was killed by her.
She didn’t think about letting Xie Heng know that she had supernatural powers.
“If you are merciful to someone who wants to kill you, it’s not called kindness but stupidity. Chuchu, you did the right thing.”
Zhao Chuchu said, “I don’t know if any women like Zhao Zhizhi will appear later. If they also come for you…”
“I will solve it.” Xie Heng didn’t wait for Zhao Chuchu to finish before interrupting. He said, “That kind of situation won’t happen again. Why should I accept a woman who treats me well only after knowing my future?”
“Then you don’t know that I might know your future as well?”
“You don’t know.”
Xie Heng looked at Zhao Chuchu and smiled.
“Chuchu, you don’t know that you are transparent all over.”
Zhao Chuchu was unhappy.
“Don’t say it out, okay?”
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 Heng’s 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 body’s original owner was not Xie Heng’s 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.
“I 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.”
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?
“Da Lang, do you dare swear to God that you will do that?” Zhao Chuchu was not happy.
Xie Heng smiled.
“It’s getting late. You should go to sleep. Don’t you have to go to the Qiu clan’s house tomorrow to do acupuncture? Chuchu, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you,” Xie Heng said in a soft voice. “You don’t have to worry too much about other things. I’m here.”
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.
“Good night.”
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.
