Chapter 72 - Accusation

Why are you vomiting blood?

Chu Zheng held his wrist and examined it closely. The external injuries were almost healed, which proved that it was effective. How could he vomit blood? If you make him spit blood, will he still think of himself as a good person?

Where do you feel unwell? Chu Zheng asked him.

Li Tang was somewhat confused and leaned against Chu Zheng's arms, her face deathly pale and unable to speak.

Chu Zheng carefully recalled what she had received about Li Tang, but it seemed that this point was not mentioned. She only said that he was tortured by Young Master Song and fled...

So she had no clue at all why Li Tang spat blood.

The collar of Li Tang's robe was slightly open. At this moment, the edge of the robe was soaked with blood and was constantly spreading out.

Chu Zheng unfurled his robe, revealing his shoulders.

The penetrating injury she had seen earlier was now oozing blood, not only from the shoulder but also from the knee.

Chu Zheng let him down, lifted his trouser legs and rolled them up to his knees.

The wounds on the shoulders and knees are almost the same...

"Hello." Chu Zheng propped herself up by the bedside and bent down to call out to Li Tang, "How did you get this injury?"

Li Tang's forehead was drenched in cold sweat and he simply couldn't answer her.

Chu Zheng felt agitated in his heart.

So annoying!

Just do it!

-

Li Tang felt as if he were being grilled over a fire, and the bones seemed to be burning. He didn't know how long it had been before he felt a little better.

He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were heavy and he couldn't open them no matter how hard he tried.

The body seemed to be pressed by something, with uneven breathing and stiff limbs.

Li Tang suddenly woke up with a start. He opened his eyes and stared at the mosquito net above his head.

It's not a dim, dirty, damp and rat-infested cell.

The room is filled with a faint fragrance.

Where is he?

Li Tang's memory was a bit confused. It took him quite a while to remember that a woman had saved him.

Li Tang turned her head and looked around the room. It was still the same room as before.

The clothes on his body were a bit messy, with the collar open, revealing his scarred chest and shoulders.

Li Tang silently folded his clothes. The pain in his shoulder made it impossible for him to get up at all.

It was not until this moment that he believed he had truly left that cell, that place which was like a nightmare.

That person is also dead.

"Creak -"

Li Tang looked towards the door. A girl in a light-colored dress came in carrying a tray. Her gaze met his, and she said indifferently, "Awake."

She closed the door, put down the tray and walked to the bedside: "Are you hungry?"

Li Tang shook her head, but her stomach began to rumble unreasonably.

Chu Zheng turned around and brought the tray over, saying, "Eat. It's hot."

He had been on hunger strike in the dungeon for only two days and was extremely hungry. Li Tang was silent for a while and tried to sit up, but failed several times in a row and broke out in a sweat.

He lay back and shook his head. He didn't eat anymore.

It seemed that Chu Zheng finally came to her senses. She reached out to help him up and handed him the chopsticks.

Li Tang leaned against the Chuzheng, his back against her warm and soft body. He could see her fair profile with a glance, a misty glow, as if it were bathed in a faint light.

He stared for a few seconds and then shifted his gaze.

Li Tang's fingers were trembling and she simply couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily.

He stared at the food in front of him. He was very hungry but couldn't eat.

"Eat."

The people behind still urged him.

How does he eat!

Li Tang suddenly got angry for no reason, threw away the chopsticks and shifted his gaze elsewhere, just like a child throwing a tantrum.

[ Little Sister... ]" King Hao felt that if he didn't remind her, she would play this good Person card to death. [He can't eat it by himself now.]

Chu Zheng: "..." Then wait until he has a way to eat it by himself?

[...] Is normal thinking like this? Can't you feed him?!

Chu Zheng: "..." I'm not his mother. Why feed him!

Can't you just pretend to be the hell?

I don't have such an older son.

Now it's here! Hurry up and feed it, little sister. If you starve to death, you'll have to rewind and start over. You've come this far with great difficulty. Do you want to go back and do it all over again? You don't want to, do you? If you don't, then be a good person! We should be good people, good people, good people!!

Chu Zheng: "..."

Chu Zheng obediently picked up the spoon and fed it to Li Tang's mouth, coldly ordering, "Eat."

Li Tang frowned and didn't open his mouth. Suddenly, Chu Zheng pinched his chin and directly fed him in.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Tang was choked. Was she trying to kill herself?

Chu Zheng patted his back and fed him to his mouth again. Before Li Tang could move, Chu Zheng was already about to pinch his chin once more. Li Tang quickly opened his mouth.

When Chu Zheng fed her a spoonful, Li Tang would take a bite. But Chu Zheng fed her faster and faster, and Li Tang's cheeks were bulging.

After eating, Li Tang broke out in a cold sweat all over and looked at Chu Zheng with anger in her eyes.

He himself didn't notice that when he first left the dungeon, he had emotions and was angry at this moment.

How did you get the injuries on your body?

Li Tang knew what kind of injury she was asking about. He lowered his head and spoke for the first time, "Demon Slaying Nail."

The young man's voice was somewhat hoarse, as if they hadn't spoken for a long time, and there was a hint of hatred.

Chu Zheng's mind was full of thoughts: What kind of nail is the Demon-slaying Nail? She hasn't heard of it! This is beyond the syllabus!!

After a moment, she calmly asked, "How do you get it out?" No matter what kind of nail it is, just make it out!

The young man shook his head: "I can't figure it out."

Why?

The young man's eyes fell silent again. He just shook his head and said no more.

He seemed to be lost in his own world. No matter what Chu Zheng said, there was no reaction at all.

Chu Zheng stuffed him into the quilt and he walked back and forth in the same place. The background board was filled with the word "trouble".

-

This is it!

Li Tang was awakened by the noise. Flames flickered outside the window, almost lighting up the entire room.

Chu Zheng stood by the window, half open in front of her, looking down.

The shopkeeper was talking about something with the leader below, seemingly trying to stop them. As a result, that group of people rudely entered the store.

Then someone drove the rest of the inn out and someone came to her room.

Chu Zheng closed the window and turned her head to take a look at Li Tang.

Li Tang grabbed the quilt and stared at her silently.

"Open the door!" Come out!

"People inside, come out!"

Chu Zheng walked towards the door and casually took the coat hanging on the chair and put it on.

Creak!

Chu Zheng opened the door. Outside, the corridor was filled with people holding torches. They were all from the Song family.

It's her! Behind that group of people, someone pointed at her and said, "I saw that. That weapon is hers. It was she who killed Young Master Song!" She is the murderer!

Chu Zheng's cold gaze swept over the person who had identified her. It was precisely the thief she had met earlier.

The thief met Chu Zheng's gaze and felt a chill run down his spine for no reason. He hid behind the crowd.

"You evil woman! How dare you kill our young master!" The Song family members were all filled with rage.

Do you have any evidence? Chu Zheng crossed his arms around his chest and asked calmly.

This is the evidence! The man threw the blood-stained spiritual artifact in front of Chu Zheng.

The spiritual artifact hit the wooden floor, making a dull sound.

Someone saw with their own eyes that it was you who bought this sword. Our young master died under this lethal weapon. The speaker pointed at the thief and said, "He also saw you near the crime scene. If not you, who could it be!"
