Chapter 342: Shock



Chapter 342: Shock

The moment the coffin was opened, everyone took a step back in horror.

The coffin was covered with bloody handprints, which was shocking and terrifying.

The coffin lid was covered in bloody handprints and she tried to push it open.

But there was a lot of mud piled on top, how could she push it open?

"Look at her hands..." Xie Yuzhou shouted tremblingly, and shivered violently while hiding behind Lu Chaochao.

"Her flesh and blood are gone, and the white bones are exposed at her fingertips." Xie Yuzhou felt his scalp tingling.

Everyone looked at the person in the coffin. Her fingertips were covered in blood and looked faintly pale.

It's bones.

She scratched the coffin with her ten fingers until even the bones were exposed.

"How desperate she must be..." Xie Yuzhou's eyes were filled with tears.

"Who on earth is so vicious to bury people alive? It's so cruel and terrifying!" Rong Che frowned.

"Hurry up and carry the person out." Lu Chaochao spoke first.

Rong Che looked at her strangely. This little girl never meddles in other people’s business?

The servants surrounded the coffin with torches, and several soldiers jumped down and carried the person out of the coffin.

His whole body was covered in blood, and his ten fingers were so bloody that it was unbearable to look at. Everyone was a little horrified.

"Are you still breathing?" Rong Che asked in a low voice.

The accompanying imperial physician knelt on the ground, gently felt the other person's pulse, then lifted the other person's eyelids and breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is still a glimmer of hope. But..." The imperial physician paused.

"The chances of survival are extremely slim."

In fact, he is now in a state of suspended animation, and is only a moment away from stopping breathing.

Rong Che looked at the woman on the ground. She seemed to be very old. Her hands were skinny and rough, with ravines and bloodstains all over them.

On the surface...

He frowned slightly.

"She was already old, and had been subjected to inhumane abuse before being buried alive. Boiling oil was poured on her face, and her entire face, except for her eyes, was burned."

The imperial physician gently pinched her face and looked at her mouth.

Then he shook his head slightly: "I've poured hot oil into my mouth, and my voice is damaged. I don't know if I can speak."

"She is seriously injured. Saving her will probably cost a great deal."

Nan Mubai just glanced and then looked away.

"I thought it was a lonely ghost from nowhere, but it turns out it's still alive..."

"Let her fend for herself here."

"He was originally an old mortal, and now he's a cripple. What's the point of saving him?" Nan Mubai sneered, then walked down the mountain holding his sword.

"This place is remote and happens to be the border between two countries. If we hadn't happened to pass by here, I'm afraid she would have died. Since we met, it must be fate."

"Take her back. Let the imperial physician take good care of her."

"She is also a miserable person. When I see her, I think of Madam Ning who has been looking for her son for many years." Rong Che sighed lightly.

Minglang glanced at the unrecognizable old lady lying on the ground.

"Madam Ning? Madam Ning has been kept in the capital since she was found by His Majesty, leading a life of luxury. Madam Ning has finally gotten her happiness after all the hardships she has endured..." Minglang had never seen Madam Ning. The old lady had been kept in the mansion since she came to the capital.

His Majesty knew that she was often hunted down, so he did not allow anyone to approach her and protected her.

Lu Chaochao's eyes fell on the old lady, his face gloomy and he didn't say a word.

"Daddy, you go and carry it." Lu Chaochao said listlessly.

Rong Che was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "Okay, okay, our Chao Chao is kind-hearted, Daddy will listen to Chao Chao."

The old lady was extremely thin, and Rong Che easily carried her down the mountain.

"Yuzhou, can the old lady live in your carriage? You can live with me."

Xie Yuzhou's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister Zhaoyang, of course you can."

"My carriage is padded with tiger skin. It is very soft and comfortable."

When we returned to the carriage, Yunniang was standing by the campfire rubbing her eyes.

Seeing Rong Che covered in blood, he was frightened to death.

"I'm not hurt."

Rong Che shook his head: "I encountered an old lady who was buried alive in the mountains, and I got it when I was carrying her down the mountain. How did you wake up? You only slept for half an hour."

Yunniang was full of helplessness.

"When we get to the South, I'll go to the temple and pray. I'm afraid I've been possessed by some dirty thing."

"In my dreams, there is always a young man with red eyes and tears, muttering something, 'Why don't you give it to me? Why don't you give it to me?'"

"I can't sleep with this buzzing in my ears."

Rong Che looked nervous: "I'll ask Chao Chao for a talisman to ward off evil spirits later."

Yunniang nodded.

"Where is the old lady? I'll go see her too." Yunniang asked with a smile. Rong Che supported her and walked towards the carriage behind.

"Chao Chao, are you feeding the old lady water?"

Yunniang just happened to see her withdraw her hand. The little fellow's eyelashes trembled and he hid the Lingquan behind him.

"Her lips are dry, feed her a few bites." After the little guy said this, he jumped off the carriage quickly and ran away.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall. Why are you running so fast?" Yunniang sighed.

Yunniang climbed onto the carriage. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked at this moment.

When she came to her senses, her face was wet.

There were waves of stabbing pain at the tip of her heart, causing her to curl up slightly and frown.

Rong Che was shocked.

"Yunniang...Imperial Physician!"

Yunniang raised her hand to stop her: "Wait, it's okay, it's okay. I just had a sudden heartache..." Yunniang covered her heart. At that moment, she almost fainted from the pain.

"It's all my fault. If I had known you were kind-hearted and couldn't stand seeing these things, I would have brought you to see it." Rong Che regretted it and wanted to take her away, but Yunniang just sat down.

He just stared at the old woman blankly.

"What did the imperial physician say?" Yunniang was a little confused. Although she was kind-hearted, she was not the kind of person who would cry for no reason.

At this moment, seeing the old lady in such a miserable state, he couldn't control himself.

Perhaps, he was thinking of his biological mother.

"The imperial physician has already given him acupuncture. I don't know if he can wake up. What a miserable life. His face was burned with scalding hot oil, and I don't know if he can speak after his throat is broken..."

Rong Che's voice had just fallen.

Suddenly...

The fingers wrapped in gauze moved slightly, and she suddenly sat up violently, huddled in the corner, trembling all over.

He hugged his knees in horror, his whole body exuding an intense fear.

“Ah, ah…”

His throat was terribly hoarse, and even when he was extremely scared, he could only make screams.

"Don't move. Don't move."

"There's blood oozing from the wound. Don't be afraid, you're saved. Don't be afraid..." Seeing her fear, Yunniang hurriedly took a step back.

Yunniang was a little anxious, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Don't be afraid, this is not a coffin, you are saved!" Seeing that the other party was terrified and did not dare to open her eyes, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed the old lady's hand.

Rong Che was afraid that the old lady would not be conscious and would hurt her.

"Look, this place is not scary. No one will hurt you. Open your eyes and take a look, okay?"

Yunniang's voice was soft and soothing.

The old lady gradually calmed down, her breathing was slightly heavy, and she still didn't dare to open her eyes.

Blood seeped out of the white gauze, and all ten fingers were covered in blood.

There is not a single piece of good flesh on the scalded face.
