Chapter 85 My Dad's an Idiot 7 My Hero

The pig-like screams echoed in Liu Jianmei's ears, and the image of Zhang Dashu's miserable state involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Her body swayed precariously, and her face was a mixture of pale and bluish-white.

"How could this happen? Is it really this painful without anesthesia? What are those doctors doing? Couldn't they help him?"

After all, he was her man, and Liu Jianmei was still very worried when he cried out like that.

Zhang Guangqiang and Xu Meihua also looked extremely grim, unable to imagine the extent of their son's suffering inside.

They didn't blame their son or their grandson; instead, they blamed everything on Liu Jianmei.

Xu Meihua stepped forward, swung her arm, and slapped Liu Jianmei across the face, cursing at her.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for your terrible idea, my son wouldn't have suffered so much! It's all your fault! Why wasn't it you screaming in agony inside?"

Zhang Guangqiang also kicked Liu Jianmei and cursed her fiercely.

"You wretched woman, our family is incredibly unlucky to have married you. How could we have ended up with such a jinx?"

Despite Liu Jianmei's arrogant and domineering attitude towards Qi Xiaobao, she is incredibly humble when facing her in-laws.

Even though she was hit, she didn't dare to get angry and could only swallow her anger and say something.

"I didn't want this to happen either. Who knew something like this would happen? If anyone's to blame, it's that little bitch."

..."

Liu Jianmei didn't think it was her fault. Logically speaking, it was that little bitch Qi Xiaobao who caused the trouble. If she had just obediently surrendered and been arrested, none of this would have happened.

If she had obediently been arrested, that madman wouldn't have come, and they wouldn't have been killed by Qi Wang.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that either..."

Liu Jianmei bowed her head and apologized, but Xu Meihua and Zhang Guangqiang scolded her several more times before she finally calmed down a bit.

As for Zhang Yaozong, he had been standing facing the wall since the beginning, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Liu Jianmei was scolded and felt upset. She had nowhere to vent her frustrations, but when she saw her beloved son staring blankly at the wall, she finally found an outlet for her pent-up resentment.

"Dabao, Mom did all this for you..."

Liu Jianmei stepped forward and grabbed her beloved son's arm.

"Dabao, as long as you're alright, I don't care what hardships I have to endure..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Liu Jianmei felt her hand loosen, she staggered, and then realized that she had something in her hand.

Liu Jianmei looked closely and realized that she had pulled off an arm.

The bone fragments and flesh at the break point were laid bare before her eyes.

Zhang Yaozong's arm is broken...

Upon realizing this, Liu Jianmei let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"ah!!!!"

She suddenly looked up and saw Zhang Yaozong's body sway before collapsing to the ground.

His wound quickly festered, and countless maggots gushed out of Zhang Yaozong's wound.

The maggots wriggled wildly at Zhang Yaozong's wound, their serrated mouthparts tearing at his flesh.

Zhang Yaozong was still alive. He was jolted awake by excruciating pain. When he looked down, he found his wounds covered with all sorts of maggots, which were still tearing at his wounds. He let out a horrifying scream.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!"

A piercing scream echoed through the sky. As Zhang Yaozong opened his mouth, large clumps of leeches gushed out.

All the Zhang family members were injured, and the leeches became even more frenzied after smelling the blood.

Liu Jianmei was closest to him. Worried about her son, she went over to check on him. As a result, the leeches seemed to be stimulated and rushed towards her like crazy. They then crawled in through the gaps in her clothes and entered her body through the wound.

An excruciating pain, as if being torn apart by a thousand knives, struck Liu Jianmei instantly. She let out a piercing scream and collapsed to the ground, rolling around in agony.

Zhang Guangqiang and Xu Meihua were also stunned, completely unaware of what had happened, when Liu Jianmei and Zhang Yaozong, mother and son, fell to the ground.

Before they could react, the leeches leaped and pounced on them.

Leeches are incredibly ferocious when they suck blood, just like the Zhang family members.

They had clearly abandoned Qi Xiaobao long ago. They had intended to kill her and hadn't given her any chance to survive.

As a result, when Qi Xiaobao grew up and it was time for them to need him, they swarmed over like leeches, clinging to Qi Xiaobao and sucking his blood.

Under the current laws of this world, if it is proven that they are indeed Qi Xiaobao's biological parents and relatives, and since the incident has not yet occurred, they will not be severely punished.

Most of the time, Qi Wang doesn't rely on powers beyond this world, but sometimes, for harmless matters that don't involve principles, he's not so rigid as to refrain from taking action.

Since they enjoy being leeches so much, let's just let their kind play with them.

Didn't you see how happy they were to be with their own kind? They were so happy that they were even singing and dancing, each one of them was so joyful.

The commotion here is so loud that even the doctors and nurses have been alerted.

Everyone ran out to check the situation and then saw the tragic state of the Zhang family.

Everyone gasped in shock and hurriedly backed away.

"What's going on?"

"This is unbelievable! Where did those leeches and maggots come from?"

"This is insane, insane, absolutely insane! Everyone, step back quickly, don't get infected!"

This is the county hospital, located in the center of the county. Moreover, being a hospital, the disinfection measures are very thorough.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be maggots or leeches present.

But these things just happened to appear, and in such large quantities, which is completely illogical!

The doctors and nurses didn't dare to go forward. After all, those maggots and leeches looked too terrifying. The screams of the Zhang family members had changed tone. If they went over and got even a little bit on them, they would suffer even more.

Soon someone called the police, someone else called the fire department, and everyone stepped back to make room.

Strangely enough, the insects only hopped around on the Zhang family members; not a single one left their bodies.

It seemed as if no one other than the Zhang family members were their targets.

"Could those insects even have self-awareness?"

"No, is there something on them?"

"Isn't this a bit against common scientific sense?"

"Who knows? This probably falls into the realm of metaphysics, right?"

Police and firefighters arrived quickly with their specialized equipment, but even so, it still took them a long time.

After the people were rescued, there was no good flesh left on their bodies. They lay on the ground, barely breathing.

The four were rushed into the operating room for emergency treatment, but the doctors felt helpless when faced with these four seriously injured patients.

Their bodies were covered with wounds of all sizes, so gruesome that they caused physical discomfort to the person looking at them.

What's even more terrifying is that leeches have already drained 80% of the blood from their bodies. Normally, such blood loss should kill them.

But they are still alive.

Is this a miracle of life, or a taboo of metaphysics?

Their wounds festered very quickly; the flesh would fall off their bodies at the slightest touch of the surgical instruments.

An indescribable stench assaulted the senses, and even the battle-hardened doctor couldn't suppress the urge to vomit.

They even forgot how they had treated the injured; by the time they realized what had happened, the patient had already been wheeled out of the ward.

The doctors in charge of the rescue looked at each other, and after a long while, one of them spoke.

"Do you remember how we just resuscitated the patient?"

As soon as he spoke, the expressions of the other three doctors all changed.

They were all the same; they had no recollection of how the surgery had been performed or how the patient had been saved. Their last memory was of seeing the patient's wound and feeling nauseous.

In the blink of an eye, the patient was saved and has been wheeled out of the operating room and back to the ward.

The doctor swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice, "This is truly unprecedented."

Another person said dryly, "Perhaps the scene of rescuing people was too exciting, and our brains activated their self-protection mechanism, which is why we don't remember it."

"If we were the only ones in the operating room, and we didn't save the person, then who did?"

"The process doesn't matter, as long as the result is right."

"This family is so strange. Getting involved with them makes us all strange..."

The four doctors discussed it and decided to ignore everything else, forcefully suppress the matter, and then go on to attend to other matters.

They're so busy, they don't have time to pay attention to these things.

The Zhang family members were all sent to the same ward, wrapped up like mummies, making it impossible to recognize their original appearance.

But the incident caused by the Zhang family was too big. The county hospital was only a small place, and there were no secrets. Soon, everyone in the hospital knew what had happened to them.

This was all too bizarre, and everyone was terrified. Even the nurses were hesitant to enter the patients' room, as if going in would expose them to something terrible.

The other patients couldn't help but gossip behind his back.

"These people must have committed some terrible sins, otherwise why would they be chased and bitten by insects?"

"Yes, that's terrifying. I didn't see it, but I heard from others that they were all buried by leeches. I've never seen so many leeches in my life."

"No, what heinous things did they do to attract so many insects?"

"That's right, those bugs must have been sent by the Great Immortal to punish them. Didn't you see that those bugs only chased and bit them? They didn't touch anyone else at all?"

"We should stay away from these people, otherwise we'll be in trouble if they get struck by lightning."

"Who says it isn't? This is absolutely terrifying!"

The Zhang family members lay half-dead in their hospital beds, completely oblivious to all the rumors and gossip circulating outside.

Because at that moment they were in great pain.

The visible worms have been removed by the doctor, but there are still many invisible worms frantically crawling around inside their bodies, desperately tearing at their flesh.

They tried to scream, but their vocal cords seemed to have stopped working; despite the excruciating pain, they couldn't utter a single sound.

It hurts, it hurts so much. This excruciating pain is worse than death.

However, their bodies were tightly bound with bandages, making them like mummies, completely unable to move, and they could only endure it all in despair.

Not long after, a rumor began circulating within the hospital.

"Do you know why that family is suffering retribution?"

"Why would you suffer retribution? Do you know some inside story?"

"Sigh, it's obvious they did something heinous, otherwise how could they have been tortured like that? I've lived this long, but I've never seen anyone suffer like that."

"What exactly happened?"

"Let me tell you, this is what happened..."

Some say that the Zhang family suffered such retribution because they sold their daughter to others as a surrogate mother, which is why they ended up being devoured by countless insects.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers gasped in shock.

"No, what is surrogacy? Is it sending them out to have babies? Isn't the purpose of women to have children? What's the big deal about having children..."

Some people think these people's fate is too tragic. After all, women exist to have children. Whether it's surrogacy or not, frankly speaking, they are just giving birth to children. And they get paid for giving birth to children. What's wrong with that?

However, he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Don't say that, it's not the same thing. I've heard people say that surrogacy is terrible. Women aren't treated like human beings, they're treated like commodities, and they suffer a lot."

"That's their own daughter! Selling their own daughter is utterly heinous and they deserve to suffer such a terrible fate!"

The man who had just said that surrogacy was no big deal scoffed at this and was about to say something when, as soon as he opened his mouth, swarms of leeches gushed out.

Everyone's expression changed immediately upon seeing this.

"Wait, why is this person spitting out bugs too?!"

The crowd that had been gathered together immediately dispersed, leaving only the man standing in place.

He was terrified by the scene and opened his mouth to call for help, but as soon as he opened his mouth, clumps of leeches fell out of his mouth.

As soon as the leeches landed, they stretched out their bodies and, as if summoned by something, jumped towards the man.

The man let out a piercing scream, his body instantly collapsing to the ground, rolling and screaming.

During the rolling motion, his wrist broke, and countless maggots rushed out of the wound, devouring his wrist that had fallen to the ground, leaving not even a bone fragment.

The impact of this scene was so great that many people at the scene couldn't help but gag.

"That's terrifying..."

How can a person spit out leeches from their mouth?

"vomit……"

Suddenly, everyone seemed to remember something and took a few steps back, creating distance between themselves and him.

They remembered that when they were talking about the Zhang family members getting their comeuppance, this person seemed to have said that women are going to have children anyway, so surrogacy wouldn't be a problem.

Could it be that he did something like that too?

Yes, he must have done something like that too, otherwise how could his symptoms be exactly the same as the Zhang family's?

Someone recognized who this person was and quickly called out.

“I know him. He’s from Zhangjiawo. He has two daughters. He had a son a while ago, and his two daughters, who are still in junior high school, suddenly disappeared.”

The educated youth said that the man's two daughters had gone missing. He told others that his family was poor and his two daughters had gone out to work to help support the family.

It was after his two daughters left that this man's financial situation suddenly improved. He became much more generous with his money than before, and even his three-month-old son, T, didn't need to urinate; he used disposable diapers instead.

"The big gold chain around his neck was also put on him after his daughter went missing..."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood what had happened.

It seems this person, like the Zhang family, sold his two daughters to have children.

This must be some powerful goddess who couldn't stand by and watch, and has sent down punishment; the man is getting his just deserts!

The expressions on everyone's faces varied, and their disgust for men reached its peak.

Yes, even tigers don't eat their cubs. This kind of person, who sold his own daughter for a few coins, deserves this fate.

Some people who don't really understand what surrogacy is all about can guess that it's not a good thing when they see a man being bitten by leeches and maggots.

If it were really as this man said, that he was just going to have someone else's child, how could he have suffered such a huge backlash?

Unseen by others, Pandora's box quietly opened.

Once something is exposed, what lies hidden behind it will burst forth.

More and more people attacked by leeches and maggots are being sent to the hospital, which is now overcrowded.

Because of previous cases, everyone knows why these people suffer.
