Chapter 17: I will make you pay with blood!

(Beep, Beep)

Accompanied by the strong, pungent smell of disinfectant, Shen Rongrong opened her eyes again, seeing the familiar red characters “City Central Hospital” and the monitoring bed on the glass.

Her head was dizzy and swollen, and her brain couldn’t quite connect.

“You’re finally awake.” A nurse who was changing medicine next to her noticed that she had opened her eyes and said to her while changing the IV drip, “How are your eyes? Can you see?”

The burning light from the explosion had damaged her eyes, but it wasn’t serious, just causing some whitening of vision.

After a long time, she finally figured out the situation, raised her hand to grab the nurse’s clothes, and asked, “The… man who was with me… where is he?”

The nurse’s face showed hesitation, her eyes flickered, and after a long time, she said calmly, “There was no man. You were sent back by the 403 Military Region. They settled the medical expenses, so you can rest assured and recuperate.”

“Military Region…?” Shen Rongrong’s heart sank suddenly when she heard this. Ignoring the pain in her body, she struggled to sit up, “No! There was a man! He’s still… in the mountains! You must go and save him!”

“Don’t… don’t pull…” Seeing the patient agitatedly grabbing her, the IV needle was about to be pulled out, the nurse quickly held her down, “Don’t make trouble! That man… he… died!”

“What?” Shen Rongrong’s eyes widened, and she shook her head in a panic, “No, it wasn’t those people… He was in a cave, in a small cave!”

“Yes, I know. That person saved everyone.” The nurse pressed her back into bed and explained, “The homemade landmine wasn’t very powerful. You and those people were just knocked out. The explosion caused a fire. The snow had just melted in early spring, and the leaves were damp, so it didn’t burn up, but there was a lot of poisonous smoke. He went back and forth to save people too many times, and he also lost too much blood from his gunshot wound, so… Don’t blame yourself too much. The thugs are in the next ward. I was there when the police were questioning them. I heard them say that a woman who collected mountain goods revealed that soldiers were coming to investigate, so they were overly cautious. It has nothing to do with you.”

Shen Rongrong’s eyes were full of shock and disbelief. Tears welled up uncontrollably, and she sat blankly in bed, unmoving.

Many spiritual beings said that one must repay all emotional debts before ascending, otherwise it would be easy to lose the chance to become an immortal.

She was just a snail, and had never dared to think about becoming an immortal, let alone emotional debts. It wasn’t until she met the Ancestral Master who took her as a disciple that she heard many small predictions about her emotional debts from the old man who could predict the future.

That person should have had a lifetime of glory and children and grandchildren around his knees, but because of her, his fate was full of twists and turns.

And she possessed a lot of merit, not only her own, but also the other party’s. Perhaps she owed too many descendants, so she was reincarnated as a highly fertile snail to repay her kindness.

In the middle of the night, she had also seen a blurry figure sitting on the edge of the bed sighing, seeing old papers with illegible blue fine print, the wedding rings separated lonely, and someone holding her hand tightly at the time of her death.

The Ancestral Master said that the cycle of karma was fixed, so don’t rush things, accumulate more virtue and do good deeds. If someone ever bit her head in the future, it would be the arrival of the love tribulation, the time to start repaying the debt. As for what would happen then, she would need to hone herself slowly.

She had always hoped that another snail would appear, guessing that the other party might be a blind snail who would treat her head as food and bite it… Now that she thought about it, the fountain pen, wedding rings, etc., all corresponded to the current era. Just like the saying ‘Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly’, it was indeed difficult to tell which world was real.

But she had only just met him, and before she could make a painful choice between emotional debt and becoming an immortal like other spiritual beings, he died inexplicably?

What about the promise to repay him with a bunch of children?

Seeing that she was still stunned, the nurse didn’t say much and left the ward after changing the medicine.

Just then, another nurse passed by the door and said to her, “Those guys over there have all confessed. They’re just a bunch of local thugs. They found some old hunting rifles and homemade landmines in the mountains, and after tricking people into gambling, they charged high-interest loans… I guess they’ll be behind bars for the rest of their lives.”

“Is that so? I don’t know how long they’ll be in our hospital… I don’t want to serve them, I’m scared.”

“What are you afraid of with the police around?” The nurse said, suddenly lowering her voice, “They said that the woman who leaked the military information was in her twenties, wearing a large mask so you couldn’t see her face clearly, but she had a red birthmark on her wrist… If we find her and report her, we’ll get a reward of 200 yuan!”

About twenty minutes later, Shen Yueying walked in quickly from outside the door.

She was wearing a floral dress. When she saw her younger sister sitting in bed, a trace of anger appeared on her face. She approached her and scolded her in a low voice.

“Shen Rongrong, you’re really something. You’ve been in the Chen family for so many days and you haven’t said that you’re not me! After that old thing woke up, she wanted to find her granddaughter-in-law, and she asked a group of people from the Chen family to come to the Shen family to invite me back! Gu Yifeng knows that I have other marriage contracts, so he’s ignoring me now! Are you doing this on purpose!”

Shen Rongrong didn’t move at all.

Shen Yueying, as before, grabbed her collar domineeringly and shook her, “Don’t play dead! Go to the Chen family with me and make it clear! Say that you found a man before marriage and ruined your reputation, so the Gu family didn’t want you, and that’s why they had to replace you with me! It was you who pretended to be me in the Chen family! What’s with this one woman marrying two families! Get up!”

At this moment, Shen Rongrong suddenly saw a jade bracelet on Shen Yueying’s wrist as she grabbed her collar.

And under the jade bracelet, a bruised red mark was squeezed out, which was particularly conspicuous.

She raised her eyes coldly, her gaze like a sword, shooting sharply at Shen Yueying. She suddenly raised her hand and grabbed her wrist, “How did you get this?”

Feeling that her younger sister had changed, the coldness in her eyes seemed to freeze the air, no longer the slow and foolish look from the past few days.

Shen Yueying avoided her eyes, twisting and trying to break free of her wrist, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“Don’t understand? Those people said that the woman who leaked the information was about twenty years old, with a red birthmark on her hand. How do you explain this?”

“This…” Shen Yueying stammered badly, “This isn’t a birthmark! This, this is an injury! …If you want to frame me, you have to provide some evidence!”

Shen Rongrong laughed, then her face instantly sank. Without saying a word, she pulled out the needle from her hand, raised her hand, and slapped her sister in the face!

With a snap!

Shen Yueying covered her cheek. In addition to being surprised, she immediately reached out to hit her back!

Shen Rongrong withstood her slap and took the opportunity to pinch the hand that was swinging over, “I don’t have any evidence, but I know it’s you! Shen Yueying! Just because you selfishly wanted to change your fate! You caused an innocent soldier to die!”

She didn’t know why Shen Yueying did this, but she knew that military matters were confidential, and Shen Yueying, as a military family member in her previous life, knew too many things that others didn’t know.

Since she couldn’t repay the emotional debt, she would turn it into a blood debt, which could be repaid in the same way!

“I will make you pay for your blood debt! You will live in an abyss of pain for the rest of your life! You will never be able to turn over!”

After saying that, Shen Rongrong shook her off and turned around and hurried out of the ward, not knowing where she was going.

Shen Yueying had never seen such a Shen Rongrong before. She was so angry that she jumped up and down, shouting after her, “Shen Rongrong! You rude thing! I’m your sister, how can you talk to me like that?”

At this time, some people had already gathered around, pointing and talking about the two of them.

Shen Rongrong had long been accustomed to being watched. She pushed through the crowd and went straight to ward 302 of the respiratory department along the familiar corridor.

Pushing open the door, she saw Chen Grandma sitting by the window, being fed by her granddaughter Chen Yan.

Regardless of what Shen Yueying’s expression was behind her, she knelt down in front of Grandma’s bed with a thud and shouted.

“Grandma! My name is Shen Rongrong! I’m an adopted daughter of the Shen family! I beg you to make the decision! Let me marry into the Chen family in place of my sister!”
