Chapter 84
Because the ghosts and gods she was currently making up could only fool ordinary commoners. If she tried to fool the few clever people outside, that would be absolutely impossible.
However, now that the arrow was on the string, she had no choice but to let it fly. If she really could not complete the task the system had given her, she was really afraid the system would take her life and her husbands' lives.
It's better to live a bad life than a good death. Lin Zaozao was originally a bold person who never had anything to worry about all day.
Now the system was threatening her life, which had a tremendous impact on her.
Moreover, she, Gu Shan and Ji Fantian had been together for so many days now, she really did not want any harm to come to them.
Her husbands were both good and bad, how could she not protect them a little?
Collecting her thoughts, Lin Zaozao carried the tray to Ji Fantian and the others, and handed each of them a glass of water.
"Here, drink some water. Remember, you can't waste a single drop of water in these cups. If anyone dares to waste a drop, I will bite you to death directly with one bite, understand?"
Hearing Lin Zaozao's threatening voice, Murong Hai looked at the glass in his hand. Thinking of Lin Zaozao's previous unexplained weight gains and losses, Murong Hai and the others froze in place holding the water glasses.
What had Lin Zaozao exchanged to get this water?
"Why aren't you drinking it! Drink quickly, this water cannot be wasted!"
Seeing everyone motionless with the water glasses in their hands, Lin Zaozao couldn't help feeling anxious.
She still had to rely on getting them to drink the marrow-washing liquid to quickly put on more weight!
If they didn't drink it, how could she get the 300 jin of fat to exchange for the level 5 detoxification pills? Wouldn't her plan fall through?
"Zaozao, what price do you have to pay for us to drink this water?" Gu Shan asked coldly, looking at the water glass.
"There is no price, it just makes me gain a little weight, that's all." Lin Zaozao said indifferently.
"Is it really just gaining a little weight?" Gu Shan looked at Lin Zaozao's slightly rounder belly and asked with a frown.
"Yes! It's just gaining a little weight!"
Hearing Lin Zaozao's indifferent explanation, Gu Shan directly put the water glass on the table, looked at Lin Zaozao coldly and said,
"Zaozao, look at your belly now, you've already gained as much weight as you possibly can. If you gain any more weight, the fat on your body will directly compress your internal organs and prevent you from breathing.
Most importantly, if you gain more weight, the toxins in your body will directly take your life. Lin Zaozao, if you still want to live, then rein in your kindness and don't stake your life on us.
Our lives are already rotten in the mud. But you're different, your life hasn't even begun yet!"
Hearing Gu Shan's cold voice, Lin Zaozao was not saddened by the coldness in Gu Shan's voice.
Because she knew he was caring about her.
To be honest, she also felt very uncomfortable with the sudden extra fat on her body.
What's more, in addition to not drinking her beauty fluids these past two days in order to gain weight, the sudden obesity was already making her feel unwell from toxins she normally didn't notice.
But in order to get those three level 5 detox pills, she had no choice but to do this. It was only two or three days, she could endure it.
Lin Zaozao went to Gu Shan and held out the water glass to him again, leaning over to look him in the eye and said seriously,
"Gu Shan, I have to do something about the plague outside, no matter what. As for the reason, I can't tell you. Giving you this water means I will pay a price, but I will also get a reward.
Gu Shan, I've already paid the price I needed to pay, so in order not to waste my sacrifice, Gu Shan, you should just drink this water!"
"Can you guarantee your own safety, Zaozao?"
"Of course I can. Gu Shan, I, Lin Zaozao, am the most cherishing of my own life. I assure you now that I will absolutely not risk my own life to save others."
Gu Shan looked into Lin Zaozao's eyes. Although he knew Lin Zaozao was definitely hiding some of the truth from him.
However, he could not continue to question her.
If possible, he wanted to take Zaozao right now and immediately leave this broken place. But when he saw the determination in Lin Zaozao's eyes, he had to abandon the idea in his heart.
So Gu Shan took the water glass Zaozao handed him and drank all the water in one go.
Seeing Gu Shan finish drinking the water without any reaction from Lin Zaozao, Murong Hai and the others looked at each other, then also drank down the water in their hands.
Seeing the empty water glasses in Murong Hai's hands, Lin Zaozao couldn't help letting out a long sigh of relief.
Alright, next she just had to wait to gain weight.
But before Lin Zaozao could finish letting out that sigh of relief in her chest, the buttons on Lin Zaozao's outer garment were immediately popped off by the sudden burst of fat on her belly.
Looking at the sudden fat protruding from her body, Lin Zaozao felt not only sad, but more a sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, Lin Zaozao suddenly felt like a fattened pig about to be slaughtered. That damn system was just waiting for her to fatten up before selling off her fat for money.
Damn it, she, Lin Zaozao, was the unluckiest cross-traveler in history.
This was really f**king unlucky to the extreme!
Before Lin Zaozao could even finish cursing her luck, Gu Shan had already pushed his wheelchair over to her side. He reached out and tugged at her clothes, trying to button up her loose garment.
But the result was that Lin Zaozao's belly fat did not cooperate.
Seeing that he couldn’t fasten the buttons, Gu Shan's eyes grew even colder. But when he raised his head, he looked into Lin Zaozao's eyes and asked earnestly,
"Zaozao, are you uncomfortable now?"
"No, not uncomfortable."
Lin Zaozao bit her lip and answered.
"You're lying, Zaozao."
Facing Lin Zaozao’s astonished gaze, Gu Shan didn’t explain how he knew she was lying. He just pulled her wrist and led her towards his room.
"Gu Shan, did you want to talk to me about something?" Lin Zaozao asked in puzzlement after returning to Gu Shan's room.
"Zaozao, haven't you noticed that just walking this short distance, your breathing has become very heavy?"
Hearing Gu Shan's accusing question, Lin Zaozao then realized that her breathing did indeed sound quite loud.
Well, it couldn’t be helped!
Because she was so fat, Lin Zaozao felt like her head was sitting directly on top of her body. And her neck had been completely buried under mounds of fat.
If she wasn’t panting loudly when this fat, it would be weird!
"Zaozao, I know you lied to me. Do you have any other way to resolve the plague outside?"
"Well..."
Facing Gu Shan’s cold gaze, Lin Zaozao certainly couldn’t say that other than trading her own lifespan, the best solution was for them to consummate their marriage!
Please forgive her lack of selfishness, she really didn’t want to use Gu Shan and the others’ lifelong happiness in exchange for her own benefit.
Especially Gu Shan. This disabled man had been far too good to her.
So good that she was unwilling to hurt him one bit.
As for Ji Fantian and the others, although she didn’t have deep feelings with them, she still couldn’t bring herself to trade their chastity for the successful completion of her task.
Most importantly, if Murong Hai and the others were unwilling to consummate their marriage with her, she wouldn’t be able to overwhelm them on her own!
This was the most, most, most important reason!
If they were willing to consummate their marriage with her, then...
Withdrawing her somewhat obscene thoughts, Lin Zaozao grabbed Gu Shan’s hand and said,
“Gu Shan, don’t worry. In one or two more days, no, one day, I will definitely return to normal. At that time, you will definitely see a brand new me, a beautiful me.”
Seeing the bright look in Lin Zaozao's eyes, Gu Shan knew she didn't want to divulge her secrets.
So Gu Shan could only nod slightly without asking further.
After all, which person living in this small courtyard didn't have some secrets!
"Zaozao, with your breathing so labored now, do you want to rest for a while?"
"Alright, then I'll rest for a bit."
Smiling at Lone Mountain, Lin Zaozao soon lay down on Lone Mountain's bed. But as soon as she lay down, she hurriedly turned her body to look at Lone Mountain and said,
"Lone Mountain, have Murong Hai and the others clean up the house next door. When tomorrow comes, you guys should still hide from the plague in the house next door!"
"Zaozao, close your eyes and rest first now! I will notify Murong Hai and the others to clean up the house."
After finishing speaking, Lone Mountain pointed at Lin Zaozao's neck. The next second, Lin Zaozao, who was still preparing to speak with Lone Mountain, had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Listening to Lin Zaozao's very heavy snoring, Lone Mountain leapt from his wheelchair and sat directly next to Lin Zaozao, then slowly half hugged her up and used his inner strength to clear her breathing for her.
This was to prevent her fat from blocking her breathing and letting her die unconsciously in her sleep.
"Shadow! Go check where exactly this plague came from! See if this is a natural disaster or man-made!"
As soon as Lone Mountain's voice fell, a shadow from the corner of the wall swiftly flashed out of the room.
When the shadow flashed out of the room, Dashan, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, involuntarily paused for a moment in his body before continuing to merrily stew the pig's head in the pot.
He had to stew this pig head fragrantly, slowly, so that when tomorrow came, the flavor of the pig head would have set in, and it would definitely taste good.
By then, when the young miss woke up, she would definitely praise his cooking skills. After learning cooking skills for so many years, they could finally be put to use now.
With the plague breaking out, the world would also fall into chaos soon. I hope Uncle Zhang comes back quickly so he can bring the young miss back home.
Just as Dashan was lost in thought looking at the pig's head in the pot, Murong Hai and Ruo Qiu stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Dashan's busy back view, and fell into contemplation.
The water in this Fallen Water village was truly too deep.
When they first arrived at Fallen Water Village, they had already thoroughly investigated the situation of Fallen Water Village.
Although they knew a hunting family and veterinarian lived in the east side of the village, they never would have imagined that the veterinarian was no ordinary veterinarian, and the hunter was no ordinary hunter.
More importantly, they had interacted with Uncle Zhang and Dashan a few times before, but they never discovered anything different about Uncle Zhang and Dashan from ordinary people.
If not for the two of them actively exposing their own identities this time, they would have been no different from ordinary people at all.
"Dashan, can you tell us your identity?" Murong Hai asked in a low voice.
