Chapter 792: Voodoo Village 2
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zheng Lianda had already arrived at the voodoo village. There was someone guarding the entrance of the village. Zheng Lianda went up and nodded before being brought in. Several people also came out of the voodoo village and headed in the direction where Lin Jie and Liu Sanniang fell.
Liu Sanniang sneaked into the village with Lin Jie.
At this moment, Zheng Lianda’s big eyes lit up. Worms with strange abilities were a treasure. Countless officials and nobles fought over them. The voodoo village actually gave him ten worms at once as a reward. He was going to be rich.
An old elder came in with a black jar. Zheng Lianda stood up with a smile. “Third Master Miao, why are you here personally? I’m just a small fry. You can just send a servant over.”
Third Master Miao looked at Zheng Lianda indifferently and said, “After so many years, do you think we don’t know what you’ve done? What makes you think you can get the worm?”
Third Master Miao’s cold attitude caused the smile on Zheng Lianda’s face to instantly freeze.
Zheng Lianda felt his hair stand on end and his entire body turn cold. It was as if an inexplicable danger had surrounded him. He swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, “Third Master Miao, I shouldn’t have come to ask for rewards. Don’t be angry. I’ll leave now.”
Third Master Miao looked at Zheng Lianda coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person. “If you like worms so much, why don’t you spend the rest of your life with worms? Don’t you always want to come to our voodoo village? Now that you have the chance, why do you want to leave?”
Zheng Lianda was on the verge of tears. “Third Master Miao, please. I was blind. I didn’t know what was good for me. Let me go.”
Zheng Lianda was in extreme despair, and his eyes were filled with fear as he begged for mercy.
Third Master Miao opened the worm jar, and a black worm crawled out. Zheng Lianda’s face turned pale and he wanted to run, but the worm took a leap and landed steadily on Zheng Lianda’s head. Immediately, a cold feeling spread down from his head. He felt a pain in his scalp, as if something had crawled into his brain.
Zheng Lianda’s stiff body suddenly fell to the ground. His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and regret. He shouldn’t have been so greedy.
The black worm crawled out of Zheng Lianda’s glabella. It was not stained with blood at all and was the size of a thumb. With a jump, it returned to the jar in Third Master Miao’s hand.
Third Master Miao covered the jar and instructed the people outside, “Carry him to the temple and feed him until the worm king comes out.”
The people who were sent out to bring Liu Sanniang returned empty-handed. They said to Third Master Miao, “Third Master, there’s nothing in the trap. Have those two already sneaked into the village? Will they ruin our plan?”
Third Master Miao’s expression was calm. “It’s fine. Once they can’t find the person they are looking for, they’ll leave.”
Seeing that Third Master Miao’s expression was firm, they were relieved. After all, the person they brought back had long changed and forgotten about the past. Thinking of this, they were no longer worried.
The voodoo village was an earthen building with many floors and was densely populated. The people living at the top were the people with the highest status. The lower they lived, the lower their status.
Most of the people who lived at the highest floor of the earthen building had never stepped out of the village.
The courtyard on the very top was filled with flowers and plants. When the sun shone, the scenery in the courtyard was gorgeous.
Miao Xiu walked among them, cutting off the dead leaves with the scissors in her hand. After trimming the flowers, she entered the house and walked to the bed. She said to the unconscious person on the bed with a smile, “You have to wake up quickly. You have to wake up and marry me.”
Miao Xiu reached out, her eyes filled with love.
Miao Xiu leaned over and kissed the man’s forehead before happily getting up to do something.
In the kitchen, Miao Xiu was making soup. After everything was done, she scooped it up and carried it into the house. She helped the man sit up before feeding him the soup.
Miao Xiu said, “Is this delicious? I stewed it for a long time. Wake up. When you get better, you have to thank me and love me.”
The man’s eyelashes fluttered. Miao Xiu put down the bowl in surprise. “Yu Lang, are you about to wake up?”
Under Miao Xiu’s expectant gaze, the man’s eyelashes fluttered and he slowly opened his eyes. Miao Xiu screamed in surprise, “Yu Lang, Yu Lang, you’re finally awake.”
Liu Erlang felt a splitting headache. He looked at this unfamiliar woman and did not know where he was.
His entire body hurt, and his mind felt like it was being eaten by tens of thousands of worms.
Miao Xiu pounced on Liu Erlang excitedly. “Yu Lang, Yu Lang, I’ve been waiting for you to wake up for a long time.”
Liu Erlang had so much headache that he was about to go crazy. He didn’t understand what the woman was talking about, but when the woman approached him, he subconsciously pushed her away. He already had someone in his heart, so how could he let another woman hug him?
However, his body seemed to not belong to him. It was so soft that he had no strength at all. He wanted to push this woman away, but he could not.
Liu Erlang felt that his head was starting to turn blank. Miao Xiu let go of Liu Erlang. Seeing that he was in pain, she said anxiously, “Yu Lang, you haven’t recovered yet. You still need to recuperate. I was too excited just now. Don’t be angry. I made a fragrant soup for you. Drink it quickly. After drinking it, you’ll be nourished.”
Miao Xiu looked at Liu Erlang and fed him the soup.
Liu Erlang wanted to refuse, but he really needed to recuperate. He did not even have the strength to push a woman away. What was going on? His body seemed to have been shattered and reconstructed. He only remembered that when he woke up at night to go to the toilet, he seemed to have been bitten by a mosquito and then lost consciousness..
