After breakfast, Chi Shuyan went to the quarantine area to see the two people infected with corpse poison whom Qi Zhenbai had brought back last night. She confirmed that they were indeed men who looked sallow from overindulging. Moreover, their internal organs had decomposed; they were no longer
alive. Afraid that these two things would cause trouble again, Father Chi suggested that these two incurable “half-dead” be burned first.
Chi Shuyan naturally agreed. Since they weren’t human, there was no need to be soft-hearted.
After Chi Shuyan went to the quarantine area, she went with Wei Xiao to where Fang Qingyang was staying in the military district.
Fang Qingtian was already waiting in the living room, and would occasionally go into the bedroom to take a look at his younger brother.
It was a good thing Fang Qingtian wasn’t a timid person. A dying man lay on the bed inside the room and wailed. Wrapped in a blanket, he was hidden from view, but more than half of the face that was revealed was rotting and was indistinguishable. Who else could it be, but Fang Qingyang?
Fang Qingtian looked at his half-dead brother with a complicated expression and felt very terrible. The two of them had grown up together. Fang Qingtian was almost ten years older than Fang Qingyang, and had practically raised this younger brother himself; the latter was no different from a son.
He had always indulged this younger brother all these years.
If it wasn’t for that, he wouldn’t have taken out his anger on the Chi father and daughter despite being aware of his brother’s unreasonable character. Unfortunately, he had kicked an iron plate this time.
Fang Qingtian also understood that he couldn’t indulge his younger brother in everything anymore. Although the Fang family had an established background, there was always someone better. Who could guarantee that Qingyang wouldn’t kick an iron plate again next time?
He thought that once Qingyang recovered, he would do something about his character. Looking at his younger brother now, however, who had changed beyond recognition and was in a very miserable state, Fang Qingtian felt terrible.
Although Fang Qingyang’s body was festering, he still retained some consciousness. At that moment, he was barely breathing as he pleaded with Fang Qingtian, “Brother, save me! Save… me!”
Fang Qingyang really didn’t want to die, nor did he expect the consequences of being bitten by the ticket inspector to be so serious. Lately, he deeply experienced what it meant to be better off dead.
Fang Qingtian subconsciously wanted to hold Fang Qingyang’s hand, but he saw that the skin on the back of his hand was also festering. It was a ghastly sight.
“Brother, I’m going to die. I’m really going to die. Take care of my two nephews and nieces for me!” Fang Qingyang thought of how he looked neither human nor ghost now. He would get angry every now and then, and wanted to smash things, but he didn’t have the strength.
“Qingyang, I won’t let you die. I’ve already gone to the Chi family for help. That daughter of the Chi family does have some skills, and can dispel corpse poison. You’ll be fine in a few days, but you should get along well with Chi Lingyan in the future,” Fang Qingtian suddenly said.
‘When Fang Qingyang heard that his brother had begged the Chi family for help, he almost suffocated. He wanted to say that he didn’t need them to save him, but he couldn’t spit out the words.
Fang Qingyang had been living a life worse than death for the past few days and was scared. He was even more scared of becoming that ghost thing which bit people.
Fang Qingtian didn’t have time to talk to Fang Qingyang. He frequently walked out to the living room to see if anyone was knocking on the door. However, as time passed and he didn’t see Old Chi’s daughter, Fang Qingtian couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive, afraid that she would go back on her
word.
At that moment, Wei Xiao knocked on the door and said in a loud voice, “Old Fang, are you there? Open the door, I’ve brought Yan Yan!”
When Fang Qingtian heard Wei Xiao’s voice, he immediately got up and went to open the door.
Sure enough!
‘When he opened the door and saw who it was, Fang Qingtian was overjoyed and hurriedly invited the two in.. He didn’t dare act rashly toward Chi Shuyan, and hurriedly said, “Miss Chi, please come in! Please come in!”
