Chapter 4, The Young Couple's Quarrel

My face turned pale in an instant, and I turned to run outside. Upon exiting, I found Dongzi lying at the entrance, surrounded by several servants, yet none dared to approach him

My face turned red all of a sudden, and she was stunned for a few seconds. Suddenly, she pushed me away and coldly said, "Go to sleep!"

The chubby old man and the corpse king were blushing; although it was a threat, the little chubby had made everything clear. His grandfather leaned on his cane and said, "I shouldn't have intervened in this matter, but I am going all out!" As he spoke, he broke off a finger, which startled me. The severed part showed no blood and immediately transformed into a section of ginseng.

Xiao Ling saw me sulking and turned her head away. I also did not have a good impression of her, after all, she made me look foolish right after arriving.

Xiao Ling and her grandfather arrived late. She wanted to enter, but her sister-in-law snorted and said in an unfriendly tone, "He smells entirely of fox, which I really dislike"

After causing a commotion for an entire afternoon, as the time approached, my sister-in-law should have been heading home. However, in just that short while, Dongzi and Xiaoguaitou had disappeared.

Yet to this day, I still do not understand why my grandfather, being so poor, was able to arrange for me to marry such a beautiful wife

I thought I would understand it sooner and have her tell me the truth. It was only years later that I realized she wanted me to first free myself from the shadow of the Su family village

"Do you want to hit me? Come and try it!" My sister-in-law was furious, glaring at me with her beautiful brows, trying to intimidate me.

I subconsciously looked at my sister-in-law. Although Dongzi is from Sujia Village, this is her home; she is the true master here

The fat old man also hurried over, and the little chubby boy immediately got up, grabbing his long robe and crying out, "Grandfather, you must save Dongzi"

I weep with joy, yet I am also filled with fear. Even those who caused my grandfather's death avoid mentioning it. Can Dongzi and I take revenge?

I was pressed to the side and shouted at the little chubby boy, "Dongzi has turned out like this, how come you are fine?"

My sister-in-law had a very cold expression. Upon seeing me, she put down her teacup, suddenly snorted in front of me, and slapped me across the face. With a cold snort, she said: "What have you done?"

The next day, I woke up very early. My sister-in-law was getting dressed, her peach blossom-like face, rosy lips, and snow-white skin made her look like a fairy from a painting, stirring my heart with excitement.

However, my sister-in-law remained unfazed, still holding onto me tightly, and turned to instruct Xiao Lu: "Go and invite the Corpse King here"

"That's right?" She sniffed her nose and slapped him again with the back of her hand

After washing up, I wanted to read that book on the Su family's secret techniques, but it was snatched away by my sister-in-law. "Go play, you won't understand it anyway. I'll teach you when I come back tonight."

Xiao Ling pouted and turned around, pulling her grandfather along as she walked away

I know that the little ghost has a background, and I didn't expect that those people would also be afraid. It seems that relying on my sister-in-law to take revenge was not a wrong plan. Unfortunately, to her, Dongzi and I are nothing more than two stray dogs, and we definitely won't be of any help

While I was lost in thought, the Corpse King asked again: "Who is in charge between you two?"

Before long, a man in a long robe arrived, glanced at Dongzi on the ground, and shook his head, saying: "The poison has entered the heart, there is no hope."

As soon as the stone beast landed, Xiao Lu ran out with a worried expression and scolded me: "Young master, where have you been again? The young lady is anxiously looking for you everywhere and is currently throwing a tantrum in the living room"

Sister-in-law came over, and the housekeeper immediately let go. She reached out to pull me, but I dodged her. She was not angry, squatted down and said, "They are bold, but they do not dare to lay a hand on the little fatty."

However, there were no thoughts in her mind. If one were to speak of beauty, she was not as good-looking as her sister-in-law, but due to her age, they became somewhat familiar in just over half an hour

But she quickly became excited and said that there was a place nearby where a market was being held today, and we should go have some fun

After having breakfast, my sister-in-law went out, taking the book with her. Therefore, when Dongzi called me to play, I did not hesitate. It was only after I stepped out the door that I saw both the little fox and the chubby boy.

I nodded, my heart racing wildly. I am unsure of what my sister-in-law feels, but my own feelings are quite strange. Just now, I really wanted to kiss her, but as soon as I realized it, she turned to the side, leaving me with a sense of regret.

Is Dongzi going to be alright? I asked with tears in my eyes

Sister-in-law may have realized she spoke incorrectly and wanted to explain, but the door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Lu rushed in in a panic, "Groom, Miss, something bad has happened to Dongzi!"

But with red eyes, I rushed over, feeling both wronged and angry

She waved her hand again, her strength diminished significantly, merely pushing me away gently, but after regaining my balance, I lunged at her once more

As soon as I hear it, I cannot help but shed tears. In Sujia Village, only Dongzi and I remain. If he were to leave, I would be left all alone.

Sister-in-law did not get angry, she merely responded with a sound, took out a box and placed the wooden nails inside, saying: "The Su secret has been lost for a long time, and no one in your village has learned it. It has seven realms, and upon reaching the first realm, one can use the blood blade"

The Corpse King and the Fat Old Man both lowered their heads, and the chubby boy jumped up, pointing at his grandfather and shouting: "If you don't save me, I will tell Sister Bai that just a few days ago, you two teamed up to deceive her"

I hurriedly set aside the thoughts in my mind and listened attentively as my sister-in-law opened the book and explained each point in detail. I sat beside her like a primary school student, obediently inhaling the fragrance emanating from her until late into the night

Only by mastering the knowledge in the book can I take revenge for the Su family village. I also feel a bit guilty for being swayed by Dongzi. Xiaoling seemed to want to say something but hesitated, yet I waved my hand and hurried to the living room

There is no hope! The fat old man shook his head in agreement.

The Corpse King grunted, placed the wooden stake on the ground, picked up Dongzi, and turned to leave. The fat old man grabbed the little fatty and disappeared after taking a few steps

My sister-in-law held my hand, preventing me from approaching Dongzi. I glanced at the fat old man and the corpse king and coldly snorted, "How many years have you been my neighbors? How many benefits have you taken from me?"

I was momentarily stunned; it turned out that in her heart, my presence here was akin to raising a little dog. I released her, my eyes red, unable to utter a single word

Xiao Ling and I searched around the market, but in the end, we could only return home first, and by the time we got back, the sun had already set

I was taken aback for a moment. She said I was wrong because Xiao Ling had hugged me? But we were just playing innocently, with no other intentions at all

The chubby little boy squatted beside, wiping his tears with a pale face. I noticed several wounds on Dongzi's body, with the rolled-up flesh all turned black, and I immediately thought of my grandfather

I was astonished, not expecting that the fat old man and the little boy were ginseng that had become sentient. However, I felt quite pleased, as it is said that sentient ginseng can bring the dead back to life. With this, Dongzi would surely be able to survive

The chubby boy's face turned pale, and after a few seconds, he recounted in detail, "I was playing on the street with Dongzi, and suddenly we saw a few people in black clothes. He grabbed my hand and we followed them. Before long, we were stopped by a masked person. His nails were particularly long, and he grabbed Dongzi. After that, it turned into this."

After returning to the room, I couldn't help but glance at her wrist; the spot where I had bitten her and drawn blood had completely healed.

It is too similar

I bent down to embrace Dongzi, but my sister-in-law followed closely, gripping me tightly. In that moment, her hand felt like a rock, rendering me immobile. It seems I had shown mercy just now.

Corpse poison? ... So it turns out that Grandpa's wound turned black because he was poisoned by corpse poison, then the thing that attacked him...

The market they spoke of is quite far; it is a small village market. We left the stone beasts in the mountains and ran off to have some fun. Coming out of Sujia Village, it was my first encounter with the outside world, and I felt very excited, but we had no money, so we could only look and not buy

At this moment, the Corpse King snorted, "I am not afraid of trouble; it's just that the old man can only protect the heart pulse. If he wants to survive, he must take me as his master and follow me for a year. Who is in charge of your family?"

The situation is exactly the same as it was during my grandfather's time

The corpse king was quick in both hand and eye, seizing Dongzi's hand to snatch away the wooden nail. His gaze became very sharp, "Bloodthirsty Nail! Is he trying to eradicate the roots?"

I saw Dongzi's eyes blazing with anger as he hit and grabbed her, until finally the housekeeper came over to hold him down. It was then that Sister-in-law asked the chubby boy, "Who did you encounter?"

But unexpectedly, she let go of me, shifted her lips, and said, "He is in charge!"

It is now much stronger than before, and my mouth has a sweet and metallic taste, which should indicate bleeding

I was dazed, covering my face, and also very angry, "What right do you have to hit me? I haven't done anything wrong!"

The sister-in-law glared at me coldly only after everyone had left, saying, "I knew you would cause trouble, come with me!"

It is indeed a deliberate extortion, but I dare not say anything, watching the two of them anxiously, hoping they can save Dongzi

Sister-in-law did not move, it seems she was really waiting for me to hit her. She is my wife, I will not hit her, I just pounced on her to grab her hand and lightly bit her, which made her cry out in pain and push me away with her hand.

I have no concept of who is in charge. Seeing that Dongzi has changed, I hurriedly shouted: "Dongzi is my younger brother, I agree to him becoming your disciple!"

Dongzi consumed ginseng, and his heart began to surge. However, at that moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, his throat making a gurgling sound, and he reached into his bosom to pull out a wooden nail, which he violently drove into his own forehead.

I never expected my sister-in-law to retaliate; as soon as she regained her composure, she threw me out. At this point, I was completely enraged and charged forward without a second thought

Xiao Ling also sat on the other end, her pretty face flushed as she asked me if I was going. Can the stone beast really fly? I was very curious as well, so I climbed up and sat in front of Xiao Ling

But soon he mocked himself, saying: Su Yan, Su Yan, you keep saying you want revenge, are you afraid now?

I only raise humans, so how did I end up with you, this little dog! Get lost!

I have heard that there is a market in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, and I am quite curious about it. However, going there and back might take until nightfall, which makes me somewhat reluctant to go.

I watched the swiftly passing green mountains, my face slightly pale, but soon I became excited. Xiaoling embraced my waist from behind, soft and warm.

Although I do not understand much, I know that I am living under someone else's roof and cannot cause trouble. However, Dongzi and the chubby boy climbed onto the stone beast at my sister-in-law's doorstep, excitedly saying, "Stone Brother, I found out they can fly!"

Dongzi shouted, "Let's go." The stone beast suddenly moved, and in an instant, it soared into the air. He shouted and yelled, his face full of excitement, probably having played with it while I was away

I am worried about Dongzi, and even more afraid that she will not teach me the secret techniques of the Su family. I did not dare to retort, but as long as I learn the Su secret, I will leave this place.

Dongzi heard my shout, struggled to open his eyes, and said intermittently, "Brother Shitou, I see... them, the ones who harmed... my parents..."

I was instantly enraged; why should I be hit when I did nothing wrong? Without waiting for her hand to retract, I lunged at her.

As soon as he finished speaking, his head tilted and he lost consciousness. I was so frightened that I let out a cry and struggled to rush over, but my sister-in-law wouldn't let go. In my desperation, I bit down hard on her wrist.
