Chapter 78: Dead and resurrected?

Ping'an, Ping'an, my Ping'an, where are you? Aunt Li, quickly return my Ping'an to me!

One after another, anxious shouts rang out; it was his mother's voice, which startled Wang Ping'an from his myriad thoughts, and he was about to respond.

As for how to respond…

Naturally, he burst into loud wailing!

"Who, who is calling me?"

A doubtful voice sounded, causing Wang Ping'an's words at the edge of his mouth to swallow back; he instinctively looked up, only to see Aunt Li, lying on the ground like a corpse, suddenly sit up, her face full of bewilderment.

It seemed she didn't understand why she would be lying in this desolate forest.

Just as Aunt Li subconsciously glanced around, trying to understand where she was, her gaze suddenly fell on the corpse of the black-clothed person; she let out a sharp cry, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, her voice trembling as she spoke in panic:

"Corpse, there's a corpse!"

While speaking, Aunt Li scrambled and crawled out of the forest at top speed, immediately bumping into Liu Dongzhu, who was anxiously searching the surroundings, as if she hadn't seen her, and tried to run past her to get to Liu Dongzhu.

Liu Dongzhu quickly stepped in front of Aunt Li; upon seeing Aunt Li appear, the anxiety on her face instantly turned to joy, but as soon as she saw Aunt Li's condition, that joy was replaced by panic.

"Aunt Li, where is my Ping'an? I gave Ping'an to you; where did you take my Ping'an?" Liu Dongzhu shouted angrily.

Liu Dongzhu shouted angrily.

She saw Aunt Li, but did not see the Ping'an that Aunt Li had taken away; how could she not be angry?

"Corpse, there's a corpse inside!"

Aunt Li cried out in fear.

"Corpse?"

For a moment, Liu Dongzhu felt a bad suspicion rise in her heart, but she was unwilling to accept it, standing frozen like a fool.

Aunt Li, completely oblivious to Liu Dongzhu's odd state, her face full of panic, vanished from Liu Dongzhu's sight at top speed, shouting as she ran: "Corpse, there's a corpse!"

As if she had been frightened stupid!

After a long while, Liu Dongzhu came to her senses, having no mind to pay attention to Aunt Li fleeing from her presence, she rushed into the forest Aunt Li had just passed through, comforting herself as she ran:

"Impossible, it can't be true; my Ping'an just left me not long ago, how could he be dead?"

Not long ago.

She handed her Ping'an to Aunt Li, who then sped away from her sight; she anxiously searched for a long while, finally found Aunt Li, but saw her acting like a fool, running and shouting things like 'there's a corpse,' yet there was no trace of her Ping'an in her hands.

Although.

Unwilling and not wanting to believe, yet for some unknown reason, a suspicion still rose in her heart.

That is, their Ping'an very likely lost his life.

But.

Before seeing her Ping'an's corpse, she was unwilling to believe or accept this.

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have entrusted Ping'an to Aunt Li!"

At this moment, Liu Dongzhu, though she hated to devour Aunt Li raw, still felt a faint, hard-to-describe anticipation in her heart.

Not long after.

Liu Dongzhu rushed into the forest and immediately saw the small cotton blanket wrapping their Ping'an.

The anticipation on Liu Dongzhu's face instantly shattered; she snarled with a ferocious expression, shouting: "Ping'an, my Ping'an, you must not come to harm. Aunt Li, Aunt Li, I will cut you to pieces!"

Although she hadn't yet clearly seen the condition of Wang Ping'an wrapped in the small cotton blanket, from the bloodstains on the blanket, their Ping'an... their Ping'an very likely faced more misfortune than fortune!

"Wah!"

Wang Ping'an heard his mother's roar, fearing she might frighten herself and come to harm, he quickly burst into loud wailing to remind her.

He's fine!

"Crying? Who is crying?"

Liu Dongzhu blurted out instinctively, then realized; her ashen face instantly turned to ecstatic joy, the crying sound she knew well was their Ping'an's.

Although their Ping'an rarely cried in front of her, her affection for him had already etched his crying sound into her marrow.

She would likely never forget it even unto death!

"Ping'an, my Ping'an, are you alright?"

Liu Dongzhu suppressed her inner fear, wanting to rush to Wang Ping'an as fast as possible, but for some reason her legs felt like they were filled with lead, making her walk slowly and with difficulty, as if each day lasted a year.

After a long while, covering roughly ten-odd meters, Liu Dongzhu took several minutes to finally reach Wang Ping'an's side, where she hurriedly squatted down to look at the Wang Ping'an wrapped in the small cotton blanket.

Seeing him, apart from the loud wailing—no, upon her arrival, their Ping'an had stopped wailing loudly; his chubby white face showed no trace of injury whatsoever.

This novel you have arrived at

While Liu Dongzhu felt relieved in her heart, she still dared not be careless; she hastily opened the small cotton blanket, lifted the Wang Ping'an inside, examined him thoroughly, and confirmed there were no signs of injury.

Liu Dongzhu exhaled a turbid breath heavily, her whole body instantly going limp and collapsing to the ground.

But.

Liu Dongzhu, however, had no mind to attend to her own state; instead, she looked regretfully at the Wang Ping'an in her embrace, two lines of tears silently sliding down her eyes, and said:

"Ping'an, my Ping'an, from now on I will never let you leave my side again!"

"Ding! You sense your mother Liu Dongzhu's intense lingering fear and the excitement of regaining what was lost; talent: maternal love takes effect, congratulations on earning the reward: Physique+1!"

A mechanical, cold voice echoed in his mind; Wang Ping'an had no mind to pay attention, watching his mother collapse like a puddle of mud on the ground.

Although he knew his mother was fine at most, merely weakened by extreme joy or sorrow, Wang Ping'an still feared an accident.

He quickly used the skill Healing Technique on his mother, just to see; the Healing Technique's level rose from proficient to mastery—what differences were there?

"Huh, what's going on? Why do I suddenly feel filled with strength all over my body?"

Liu Dongzhu let out a sound of surprise, instinctively looking at the Wang Ping'an in her embrace; just as Wang Ping'an wondered whether he had revealed a flaw somewhere, he heard his mother speak again:

"Ping'an, my good Ping'an, did you give mother back her strength?"

"Dongzhu, how did you end up here?"

A panicked voice rang out, making Liu Dongzhu hastily shift her gaze from Wang Ping'an in her embrace, turn her head to look, and see her parents, who had appeared behind her at some unknown time, she asked puzzledly:

"Mom and Dad, how did you come here?"

"It was the Divine Cat Hero who brought us here, I thought something bad had happened……"

Wang Lin let out a sigh of relief, his words not yet finished, when his peripheral vision suddenly saw the corpse of Heipao Ren, he panicked and said: "Corpse, how could there be a corpse there?"

While he was working in the fields, the Divine Cat Constable suddenly ran over, blocked his path, preventing him from working; he didn't understand what the Divine Cat Hero was up to, or maybe his old woman reminded him with a sentence.

"They said the Divine Cat Hero might have something to look for him!"

After that.

Under the Divine Cat Hero's leadership, we arrived here!
