Chapter 196 - Anyone coming near dies

Listening to the dialogue inside, Liu Yusheng and Feng Qingbai look at each other with a smile. They were about to move forward, when a dark figure suddenly appeared in the hall. Liu Yusheng was so scared she threw away Feng Qingbai's hand.

Feng Qingbai's face slightly darkened and helplessly looked towards the black shadow.

"Uncle Liu, you are still awake at this late hour?"

Liu Dalin's gaze suspiciously slipped between the two, but it was too dark, so he did not find anything strange.

They were just a tad too close. It must be this kid clinging to Nannan.

Liu Dalin reached out and dragged Liu Yusheng closer to him. "I haven't slept. The kid is undergoing treatment, and we don't know what's going on. Everyone is worried. Besides, the two elderlies are not sleeping. How can we sleep?"

Chen Xiulan and Du Juan also came out in the back, along with Liu Erlin and Liu Zhiqiu.

Liu Yusheng wanted to smack her forehead. She only thought that her grandparents were waiting. She didn't consider for a moment that the family would be uneasy and paid no attention to the hall.

Fortunately, she speedily let go of his hands. The house was lit inside, so it would be blurry coming out from inside for a while. Otherwise, they really would have been caught in the act.

"Father, mother, uncle and aunt, second brother, you guys hurry up and go to sleep. Mo Feng is fine. He just needs to rest the next few days to heal. It's too late, don't hang in here."

Country folks were used to going to bed early. They would usually sit idly after dinner for a while and then turn off the lights and rest.

They must have been uncomfortably staying up this late.

In just a few words, her mother and aunt had yawned several times.

After hearing what Liu Yusheng confirmation and determining that nothing was wrong, the family felt finally relieved.

With their minds at ease, they could no longer hold on.

Chen Xiulan spoke, "Okay, then we go to bed first. You also rest early. Don't stay up too late and immediately rest once you are done with your work."

"Okay, Mom."

Chen Xiulan dragged Liu Dalin, who still wanted to keep an eye on them, back to their room. The three members of Liu Erlin's family also yawned and went to rest separately.

When all the figures dispersed, Liu Yusheng patted her chest and exhaled quietly, "I was scared to death."

"Why don't we not hide next time?" Feng Qingbai coaxed.

"All right, I'm fine about not hiding, but I'm afraid you'll be driven out of the house. Are you sure about it?"

"…" They'd better hide it for now.

In the kitchen, Mo Feng fed her grandparents several dumplings single-handedly.

The three ate and laughed, while Grandma Liu still nagged, habitually worrying.

The whole atmosphere in the kitchen was cozy.

Feng Qingbai walked in, first looked at the chopsticks in Mo Feng's hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Cleanliness on some occasions could cure itself.

The young emperor, who was most conscientious of cleanliness in the palace, arrived here and shed it off.

Mo Feng's mouth was stuffed with dumplings, and he grinned at Feng Qingbai. His cheeks puffed with half his mouth white and green with what he was chewing.

The corners of Feng Qingbai's eyes twitched. He quickly averted his gaze, lest it would affect his appetite for dumplings.

"Nannan, Axiu, are you hungry too? There are still some dumplings left in the pot. You can share them and pad your stomach. If you are still hungry, get up early tomorrow and have breakfast. Qinglian came and ate a large plate. Otherwise, there would have been enough for you two…" Grandma Liu wanted to get up to serve dumplings to the two, but Liu Yusheng pressed her down.

Grandma, we'll do it ourselves. You and grandpa should go and rest first. When Mo Feng is done eating, he will also go to sleep."

Mo Feng nodded, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'll go to sleep right after I finish eating. You guys also hurry up and go to rest. It will be dawn soon. If you can't get up in the morning, I won't have a savory breakfast."

"Okay, then we will turn in for the night. Hurry, too." Grandma Liu smiled. The children were filial. She wasn't that sleepy, now that she was in a cheerful mood.

"Let's go, don't tarry. You think you're still in your younger days? I'm getting sleepy." The grandpa pulled up his wife's arm and took her away before she could begin chattering.

He couldn't sleep alone if his wife was up.

The old man's heart ached to see her working all night long until now.

"Aunt Liu, the Gu worm is out, so has my poison been lifted? Will I not be poisoned again in the future? Am I not going to die just like that?" After filling his stomach, the boy asked questions like a series of pearls. He was too excited.

He had already accepted that he had a short life and had agreed with his uncle where he would be buried after his death.

It never occurred to him that his poison would be solved.

Aunt Liu accomplished what the entire Imperial Hospital couldn't do!

Could he not be happy?

It meant that he no longer had to suffer waiting for death every day!

"Your condition will have to be observed for a few more days. As long as the poison won't regenerate, you'll be fine from now on," Liu Yusheng replied, and smoothly plucked a few dumplings from the bowl to Feng Qingbai's bowl. He was a grown man, and a small bowl wasn't enough for him to eat.

As for Mo Feng's poison, in addition to the Gu worm, the antidote wasn't difficult. Her spiritual spring water could solve a hundred poisons just as Xue Qinglian's hundred poison pill could also detoxify a hundred poisons.

Observing his body for a few days was to ensure that there was no other source of poison left in his body.

Mo Feng automatically translated Liu Yusheng's words into the poison being solved. He was fine. He could also live for decades, the same as normal people.

With that thought, his mood soared, and he beamed like a fool. "Uncle, I'm well. I'm really well! From now on, I can help you to deal with those old geezers together properly!"

"Hmm." The man lightly responded, his gaze softening.

He directly fed dumplings in his bowl to the young girl's mouth. "Eat, I'm not hungry."

"You said you were hungry just now! I had enough of these."

Feng Qingbai turned a deaf ear to it and insisted on feeding her.

In the end, Liu Yusheng was fed half a bowl of dumplings instead.

She burped.

Only then did the man eat the remaining half bowl of dumplings, and then drank a big bowl of soup.

The next day, the whole family was up late.

When they looked at the faint greenish-black circles under their eyes, they laughed out loud in unison.

The morning of the small courtyard of the Liu family was filled with laughter.

When Liu Yusheng emerged from her own courtyard, she saw Mo Feng running all over the courtyard, following Grandma Liu's side all around, helping to pour water and pass firewood.

Like a happy little tail.

"Nannan, you're awake. Go and see what happened to Qinglian. He closed his door and never came out. There's even a sign hanging on his door." Seeing Liu Yusheng, Grandma Liu quickly said.

"Grandma, I told you he's okay. I can read and write. Xue Qinglian went into seclusion!" Mo Feng yelled.

Liu Yusheng's mind spun a bit, then guessed the probable reason. Seeing how worried her grandma was, she still ended up going to check on him.

The door to Xue Qinglian's room in the second courtyard was closed, and a piece of white paper was taped to the door, on which was written in carbon ash: "In seclusion, no disturbance. The door has been poisoned, those who come near die-die-die!

"…" Liu Yusheng inexplicably thought of modern research lunatics, the same as Xue Qinglian.

She smiled, crushed a hundred poison pill, sprinkled it at the door of the room, and turned to Feng Qingbai's room.

He slept very late last night and wasn't in the front yard. He should still be asleep.

With this thought deep inside, her feet couldn't resist heading toward his direction.
