Chapter 1299 Don't Burn My Father
Upon hearing that the child's condition was not good, everyone's expressions changed, and they quickly retreated.
Only the child's father remained by his side.
However, the child was indeed coughing continuously, and as he coughed, he even coughed up blood.
"A Shou, A Shou, how are you?" The child's father's face turned pale with fright.
The child had actually fallen ill too!
Everyone's hearts were filled with even greater terror.
They had been traveling together all this way, walking closely, and even chatting from time to time.
Now that A Shou was sick, what about them… wouldn't they also be infected?
"A Shou is sick, what should we do? What should we do?"
"We… have we also fallen ill?"
"If we get sick, we'll be burned to death when we go back! I don't want to be burned to death! I don't want to be burned to death!"
"Everyone, run! Run!"
Startled, everyone could no longer hear anything and immediately scattered.
Chu Qianli wanted to persuade them, but at this moment, no one was listening to her.
Just as she was wondering whether to act, a dark figure suddenly flashed past.
In the blink of an eye, those dozen or so villagers had all stopped.
Not only did they stop, but they also stood motionless, completely turned into wooden figures.
Chu Qianli turned her head, meeting that deep gaze, and for a moment, she didn't know whether to be angry or amused.
But this… didn't seem like a bad solution.
"This King is not throwing a tantrum." Seeing her staring at him like that, Feng Yexuan snorted coldly, his expression disdainful.
Acupuncturing them so they wouldn't run around and hurt anyone, wasn't that the best method?
"Guards, take them back."
With the Xuan King's command, Leng Ji's team immediately rushed over, placed the villagers whose acupoints had been sealed onto horseback, and took them away.
Not only could they not move, but they also lacked the strength to speak. Each of them could only despair, silently shedding tears.
Going back meant being burned to death.
They would definitely be burned to death…
Chu Qianli looked at A Shou and his father, and slowly walked towards them: "Your name is A Shou, right?"
A Shou did not speak. Although he was no longer coughing, his body still felt very uncomfortable.
His body was burning hot, as if he were about to die.
He tightly clutched his father's sleeve.
A Shou's father glanced at the Xuan King not far behind Chu Qianli, his heart filled with despair: "Princess, he is just a child, he doesn't understand anything. Princess, please spare him, please spare him!"
After speaking, A Shou's father fell to his knees with a thud, crying and begging, "Princess, I beg you to show leniency and let my A Shou go! I beg you!"
"Daddy, Daddy, cough…" A Shou became agitated and started coughing again.
"You don't need to panic. I'm not here to punish you, just to take you back for treatment."
Chu Qianli walked to A Shou's father, squatted down, and tried to help him up.
Unexpectedly, A Shou suddenly went mad, grabbing Chu Qianli's hand.
"Don't take my father away! You want to burn Daddy! You can't! You can't! Uncle A Nuo was burned to death by you! I saw it with my own eyes! You can't!"
"Daddy! Daddy!"
He became anxious, completely disregarding everything, and opened his mouth to bite down on the back of Chu Qianli's hand.
A surge of anxiety flashed through Chu Qianli's heart. She instinctively wanted to push him away, but he… was just a child!
If she pushed him, she wouldn't know her own strength and would easily injure him.
With this moment of hesitation, A Shou's teeth were less than a hand's breadth away from the back of Chu Qianli's hand!
Just as he was about to bite down!
