Chapter 1248 Possessed
Chapter 1248 Possessed
Qiao Rong held a delicate wine pot in one hand and said, "I saw those injured soldiers in the barracks like to drink a sip. They said that drinking can relieve pain. I brought a pot, thinking that if the young master's wound hurts, he can drink a few sips."
When Cheng Youning heard that drinking would relieve pain, he picked up the wine pot and started drinking. By the time Cheng Feng realized what was happening and took the wine pot away, Cheng Youning had already poured himself half of the pot. Cheng Feng couldn't help but scold him, "You little brat, how old are you, and you're already drinking."
"Daddy, my butt hurts so much, please let me drink something."
"Go away. Everyone is in pain. Just bear with it and it will pass." Cheng Feng threw a chicken leg to Cheng Youning, and the father and son started eating.
When Cheng Youning had almost finished eating, he asked Qiao Rong: "Is my mother still angry?"
Qiao Rong shook his head and said, "I can't tell whether the young lady is angry or not. I didn't see her much. She seemed to be drawing blueprints in the house. I saw that the lights in her room were off, so I ran out."
"My grandparents should have calmed down, right?"
Qiao Rong shook his head in embarrassment: "Young Master, Master Wan and Madam Wan didn't have dinner tonight. I heard from the servants that they are very worried!"
Cheng Youning pouted and said, "It's okay. When I can get out of this yard, I will go and comfort them. They are just angry, but they will be fine soon."
Cheng Feng rolled his eyes at Cheng Youning and said, "It would be better if you don't cause trouble for others in the future. Okay, you're full, go to sleep. Get up early tomorrow to copy the family rules. The sooner you finish copying, the sooner you'll be free. I don't want to sleep in the same bed with you all day."
"What's wrong with sleeping in the same bed with your child? Why does Daddy hate it so much?"
"Your daddy, I miss my own bed!"
"Humph, I think Daddy is missing my mom!"
Cheng Youning lay back on the bed angrily, with his head turned to the innermost part, as if he was ignoring Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng reached out and untied Cheng Youning's butt, which was swollen like an oversized steamed bun. He took a look. The wound medicine and blood were mixed together, but it had not yet scabbed over. It looked a bit miserable. This child was very patient. He didn't cry even when he was beaten like this. Cheng Feng felt distressed but could do nothing. His butt was not much better than his son's. Who let the Wan family have so many family rules? There were so many rules and regulations. You never know when you will violate the family rules. This made a person like him who came from the countryside live a rigid life.
He casually covered Cheng Youning with a small quilt, and the child's breathing soon became even and long. Cheng Feng knew that Cheng Youning was fast asleep. He couldn't help yawning and fell asleep on the pillow.
At some point, Cheng Feng heard a sound in the room, and it was the sound of singing. Cheng Feng suspected that he was dreaming. He turned over and wanted to reach out to hug Cheng Youning, but he touched nothing. He squinted his eyes and wanted to see where Cheng Youning was sleeping, but he found that Cheng Youning was not in bed at all. He sat up with a start and woke up instantly. No wonder the song lingering in his mind was so strange. It turned out that he was not dreaming, but Cheng Youning was playing tricks.
Cheng Feng got up and pulled open the bed curtain, and saw Cheng Youning singing in the middle of the floor. His little back was straight, and he didn't look like he had any injuries on his buttocks. He was also surprisingly devoted, and he had reached a state of selflessness. Cheng Feng looked out the window at the sky, which was pitch black. It seemed that Cheng Youning had just gotten up when he fell asleep. He shouted, "Cheng Youning, what are you doing? Why are you singing in the middle of the night?"
Cheng Youning sang to herself and ignored Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng scolded Cheng Youning again, "Cheng Youning, have you forgotten why your butt is broken? Shut up quickly and don't disturb the other people in the house!"
Cheng Youning acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued singing as if he was the only one in the room.
At this time, Qiao Rong, who was sleeping next door, ran over and said, "How dare the young master sing opera!"
"I don't know what's wrong with him." Cheng Feng was helpless. He had to get up and hug Cheng Youning, wanting to carry him to the bed to sleep. But as soon as he hugged Cheng Youning, he started to struggle. If Cheng Feng hugged him too tight, Cheng Youning would make a "crackling" sound and break his bones. Cheng Feng looked at the deformed Cheng Youning in his arms and knew that it was a bone-shrinking skill. However, the horrifying look was enough to make Cheng Feng dare not do anything rash. He could only put Cheng Youning on the ground and let him make a fuss.
At this time, Qiao Rong's face had changed greatly, and his body began to tremble slightly. He pointed at Cheng Youning and said, "Master, the young master is possessed by evil spirits!"
"Possessed by evil spirits? That's impossible!" Cheng Feng didn't think of the worst at all. He thought that Cheng Youning was just not sleeping and causing trouble.
"Master, please don't be so unbelieving. I have heard from the elders in our village since I was a child that people who are possessed by evil spirits are like our young master. No one recognizes him and he cannot be awakened even if you call him. It is said that there was once a man who started to sing opera after being possessed by an evil spirit. He sang day and night. In the end, he became stupid and didn't even recognize his own parents."
Hearing this, Cheng Feng's heart skipped a beat. Qiao Rong's words instantly reminded him of Cheng Youning's current appearance and Shang Xi. Shang Xi had been a fool since childhood, the kind of fool who was completely stupid, just like Cheng Youning, who didn't listen when called, didn't recognize anyone, and only lived in his own world. Thinking of this, Cheng Feng's limbs were cold and his whole body was covered with cold air. Unconsciously, his palms were full of cold sweat. He said impatiently: "Qiao Rong, quickly send someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician, and then ask someone to invite the young lady."
"Oh, I'll be there right away."
Qiao Rong was already panicking at this time. He ran all the way to Shang Xi's courtyard and knocked hard on Shang Xi's door: "Madam, it's bad, something big has happened..."
"Bang bang bang-"
"Young Madam, it's bad, something big has happened!" Qiao Rong shouted so loudly that it startled the entire yard in an instant, and rustling sounds were heard in every room.
Shang Xi was no exception. She had just fallen asleep for a short while when she was startled out of bed by a loud knock on the door. She grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, then hurried to the door. Her heart was already beating fast. Qiao Rong was calling so urgently, it must be that something happened to Cheng Youning. "Qiao Rong, what happened?"
"Madam, please go and have a look. The young master is so crazy and stupid that he doesn't recognize anyone!"
"What?" Shang Xi had never been so panicked before. Her legs shook instantly and she held onto the wall with her hands to steady herself. At this moment, Yuhua ran out, "Who's stupid?"
"It's the young master. He doesn't recognize me anymore." Qiao Rong couldn't help but wipe away her tears with her sleeves.
