Chapter 71: Poisoned

Before Xu Xiang made a decision, she saw A Lu Ge and those people running over. When A Lu Ge ran past the cage, she saw tears in his eyes. Due to the lack of interest, she decides to take a nap because whatever happened has nothing to do with her.

While Xu Xiang was taking a nap, A Lu Ge had already lifted the curtain and rushed into the tent. He hurriedly pushed away the elders surrounding the man on the bed. Seeing the man, he quickly knelt beside his bed.

"Father, you can’t die!" He shouted anxiously, as his tears dripped to the ground.

When Ha Tai heard the voice of his youngest son, he opened his heavy eyelids with difficulty. A Lu Ge saw his father raise his hand, and quickly held his father’s thin hand. Ha Tai held the little hand of his youngest son, opened his pale lips, and spoke with difficulty.

"Xi.. Xiao Xiong. After... After your father is gone, you... you have to list... listen to your brother." He took a few breaths after speaking.

A Lu Ge shook his head, tightened his grip on his father’s hand, and spoke while sobbing. "Father, you... you won’t die."

Ha Tai smiled weakly, raised his other hand and touched A Lu Ge’s head. Drawing more strength from his dying body, he said, "Take care... take care of yourself. Ugh!"

Before he had time to say a few more words to his eldest son, he felt his heart and lungs ache. After years of suffering, he was dying. He looked at everyone present and saw that the expressions on their faces were the same, so he slowly closed his eyes. He feels too tired now to stay awake.

’I’m coming, my wife...’

The hand holding A Lu Ge’s hand loosened, and slowly slipped out of his little hand. Noticing that his father had stopped breathing, his mind went blank. A Lu Da, who was standing beside him, lightly pushed A Lu Ge away and called out to his father in a panic.

"Father! Open your eyes!"

Pushed by his eldest brother, A Lu Ge came back to his senses. He watched them and listened in daze to their cries. When his eyes fell on his father’s pale face, another face suddenly appeared in his mind.

’That’s right! She is here!’

A Lu Ge quickly stood up and ran towards the guarded area. It was already dark when he saw the petite woman leaning against the cage and sleeping peacefully. His eyes lit up as he called at her.

"Hey! Wake up! You must help me!"

Xu Xiang was startled by A Lu Ge’s shout, and opened her eyes wide in confusion. Seeing the little boy grabbing the cage tightly while looking at her with hopeful eyes, she tilted her head.

She yawned and asked, "Can you let me sleep a little longer?"

A Lu Ge looked at her sleepy look, and said quickly: "I need your help. Come with me!"

Xu Xiang rubbed her eyes, pointed to the lock on the cage, and said, "I can’t go out."

Not knowing that she could break the cage, A Lu Ge looked around anxiously, then went to the side and rummaged through a wooden box. Seconds later, he returned with a lock. With trembling hands, he opened the cage, walked in and untied her hands as fast as he could.

Without giving her time to talk, he dragged the confused Xu Xiang to his father’s tent. With his speed, they arrived at Ha Tai’s tent in no time. Opening the curtain, he rushed in with Xu Xiang stumbled behind him.

"Hey, hey, slow down." She said as she tried to stabilize her body.

He pushed away the people surrounding his father’s bed, turned to look at her and said anxiously, "Hurry up and save my father!"

Xu Xiang saw Ha Tai lying on the bed, and then looked at the surprised faces around her. She looked again at A Lu Ge’s eyes that stuck to his father’s face. Scratching her head, she sat on the edge of the bed to check on Ha Tai’s condition.

When she couldn’t feel the pulse, she said, "He is already dead."

Hearing her words, A Lu Ge glared at her, and said, "No! My father is not dead. You can save him! I knew you could save him. Please... please save my father..."

Seeing A Lu Ge who was crying sadly, she sighed and thought: ’I must have owed this little guy in my previous life.’

"All right. I will save your father, but I want to be alone." She said calmly.

Hearing what she just said, A Lu Ge pushed those people out and said, "Get out. Everyone get out."

When A Lu Ge pushed his eldest brother, A Lu Da grabbed his collar and pulled down the curtain. He stayed where he was while grabbing A Lu Ge’s collar, stared at Xu Xiang, and didn’t speak. Knowing that he would not leave, Xu Xiang didn’t waste any more time and started doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

After pressing ten times on Ha Tai’s chest, she looked at A Lu Da and said, "Blow into his mouth twice."

Xu Xiang kept pressing on Ha Tai’s chest, but A Lu Da didn’t move from his place. She glanced at him, and said lightly: "If you want your father to come back, blow into his mouth twice now."

Just when she thought that A Lu Da would not do anything, he had already started blowing air into Ha Tai’s mouth. It took them two minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation before they managed to get Ha Tai’s heart beating again. A Lu Da and A Lu Ge heard their father’s weak gasp, and couldn’t help but look at Xu Xiang in shock.

Xu Xiang ignored their gazes and carefully checked Ha Tai’s condition. A minute later, she said, "He’s poisoned."

Hearing what she said, the brothers exclaimed at the same time. "Impossible!"

Xu Xiang glanced at them, took out a silver needle from the space, and stuck it into Ha Tai’s finger. As black blood oozed from his fingertips, the silver needle also turned black.

She held the blackened silver needle and said, "This is the evidence of his poisoning."
