As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Liu's body stiffened abruptly, as if struck by lightning, and the expression on his face froze instantly.
Then his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
He buried his head in his hands and burst into tears.
Luo Tianhe strode over to my side, looked me up and down, and asked with concern, "Old Chen, are you alright? I was just saying if you hadn't come out, I would have brought some men in to rescue you, damn it..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly swore.
"What's wrong?"
My heart skipped a beat.
"Why is there a black handprint on your back? And your skin..."
I instinctively turned my head to look back at the spot where Suqin had grabbed me earlier.
The skin had begun to rot and turn black, and black mucus was constantly oozing from the wound.
The surrounding skin had an eerie bluish-purple hue.
There were also faint black lines spreading outwards.
Jin strode forward, carefully examined my wounds, and said in a deep voice, "This is caused by corpse poison."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe's eyes widened, and he asked in horror, "Won't he turn into a zombie?"
As he spoke, he raised his knife and was about to chop off my head.
Fifth Master hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be nervous, as long as you get timely treatment, it can still be resolved."
Luo Tianhe finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "That scared me to death."
I rolled my eyes. Who's scaring whom here?
If Fifth Master hadn't spoken quickly, this guy would have really brought the machete to my head.
"It's you! It's all your fault!!!"
Uncle Liu suddenly stood up from the ground, like a mad beast, and charged at me.
He swung his fist and slammed it hard into my face.
I dodged the punch by sidestepping.
Are you crazy?!
I glared at him angrily: "Your wife killed your son, what does that have to do with me?"
Uncle Liu ignored them and shouted, "Then why didn't you save my son? Huh? What were you doing inside?"
I told him that he was already dead when I went in, so what could I do?
Luo Tianhe, who was also watching from the side, couldn't stand it anymore and started cursing at Sixth Uncle.
"How dare you blame Old Chen? Have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a father? Your wife turned out like that, where were you before? Now that something's happened, all you do is blame others!"
Luo Tianhe became more and more agitated as he cursed, spitting as he spoke: "If you had kept a closer eye on your wife and child earlier, would this have happened?"
Uncle Liu's face turned pale and red as he was scolded, but he had no way to refute it. Suddenly, he turned to look at Fifth Master, as if he had found an outlet for his anger.
He rushed over and grabbed Fifth Master by the collar, roaring, "It's all your fault! Why didn't you burn Suqin's body? If you had, my son wouldn't have died!"
Fifth Master, though being grabbed by the collar, did not struggle. He explained with a guilty expression, "I told you before, Suqin is carrying a snake fetus, so we can't burn it. We have to wait until the night of the full moon and use a special method..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sixth Uncle had completely lost his mind and kicked Fifth Master hard in the crotch.
Fifth Master screamed and collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach.
Uncle Liu seemed to have gone mad, rushing forward to punch and kick Fifth Master while cursing incessantly.
At this moment, Uncle Liu's relatives also lost their minds and surrounded him, beating Uncle Wu indiscriminately.
Fifth Master curled up on the ground, begging for mercy: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I am responsible for your son's death, but I can bring your son back to life."
