My Zombie Husband

8. Chapter 8: The Trouble in the Hospital

Translator: Cash

Everyone got out of the Dark Path, and arrived at the Ghosts Gathering where the ghosts gathered. Because the Eight Tails was there, so the ghosts didn’t dare to do anything. They didn’t take much time to pass it. Then they came to the chamber of Taixu, which was a bit more troublesome. There gathered a group of corpses, blue snakes… when everyone got out of the waterfall, six and a half hours had already  passed.

“Zilong, our people are outside waiting for us. So try to talk as less as possible, don’t let them find you’re a zombie.” Mu Feng wiped the water off  his clothes, it was not too wet, so he didn’t bother with a few drops of water, Zhao Yun nodded, and the Eight Tails also remained quiet.

They encountered a few people on the mountain after a short while. They looked anxious, but Mu Feng just adjusted his collar and walked over with a mysterious look.

“Master, how’s everything now? Did you find the corpse fungus?” A dark man took a step forward and his attitude was very deferential. Obviously he trusted Mu Feng. Mu Feng didn’t say anything but waved his hand. Wangchuan on one side quickly pulled out a blackened wooden box from the bundle, which was not made of ordinary wood, but ancient red wood.

Once the wooden box was taken out, a faint fragrance spread out in the air. Wangchuan opened the wooden box. The box inside was in red, and the black Ganoderma lucidum substance was placed in it. But it only opened for a second. After the man confirmed, Wangchuan quickly closed the lid and put the wooden box back.

The man’s eyes lit up and was obviously excited, “It’s really the corpse fungus.. Thank you, Master.”

“You’re welcome. I’ll take care of the matter myself. Now, take us to the hospital.” Mu Feng walked forward unceremoniously and saw several black cars parked not far away, with a Land Rover at the front. The man graciously opened the car door, Mu Feng got into the car, sat directly in the passenger seat, and Wangchuan and He Nai got into the car. Although Zhao Yun didn’t understand what was in front of him, he followed the others. The Eight Tails on his shoulder scratched the cushion with its claws curiously.

The man glanced from the rearview mirror at Zhao Yun who was wearing a strange outfit and felt very strange, “This… Master, these two…”

Mu Feng’s tone remained cold, “I met this guy in the tomb. He was hurt a little. I brought him out. Now go to the hospital for a blood transfusion.”

“Oh, well, I’ll give an order for it immediately.” As the man said it, he dialed a number and then explained to the person on the phone. Zhao Yun didn’t understand what they were saying, so he stopped listening to them. He started looking at Xia Mingyu who was in his arms. His body was so soft and it felt like a bony snake. And he was off guard. He was so weak that anyone could have killed him easily. How did such a weak person get into the tomb?

“Mmm, cold..” The boy said. He tired curling up to keep his body warm. Zhao Yun hugged him a little tighter, but the guy in his arms was even colder. Even Xia Mingyu’s pretty face showed that he was very uncomfortable. Zhao Yun was confused. Now he was a zombie. He really didn’t… have a normal body temperature.

Wangchuan who is next to him reacted quickly and reached out to Xia Mingyu and took him over. Xia mingyu was much smaller than himself, “Let me take care of him.”

The boy moved like a cat, and finally chose the most comfortable position to rest. Zhao Yun didn’t know what to do. Wangchuan was like a brother, patting the back of Xia Mingyu. The cold feeling gradually faded and his face turned calmer.

Xia Mingyu was dreaming, and he dreamt that he was bullied by his peers when he was a child. Not only that, those children threw garbage on him. They said, “Monster, get away.”

Then, he dreamt that he was at the Zhao family and surrounded by the family and were beaten violently, but they were still saying  the same thing: “Monster…”

He’s not a monster… He’s a human being. Why did his brother even say that to him? Growing up, he could only stood by the window and watched Zhao Ziyi come and go again and again, but he was never allowed to go out to meet anyone.

He remembered that when he first arrived, Zhao Ziyi secretly gave him some candies and toys. Although he was finally caught by others and he had been cut off from food for two days. Xia Mingyu still liked this brother, the only brother who had been good to him…

But why even his brother called him a monster? He wasn’t… Really wasn’t…

The scene in his dream suddenly turned into a group of zombies, Xia Mingyu was chased by them. He could do nothing but to escape, there was no other way out. If he could not escape, he would be eaten by the zombies. But he was still caught by them, and the zombie in the silver robe bit at him with nomercy. No, no!

Suddenly he woke up. He sat up. There is cold sweat on his forehead. When he calmed down, he only smelled the pungent medicine, and saw all the white colour in the hospital. He was… in the hospital?

The door was pushed open and Xia Mingyu looked at it. His pupils shrank and his body trembled slightly. The sunlight came through the window. The person who were standing in front of him was the zombie who bit him, and he was getting closer. It was hard to tell if he was dead or not, and looked like he wanted to bite again. Xia Mingyu immediately took the pillow and threw it over, “Ah! Don’t get any closer!”

Zhao Yun’s eyes quickly grabbed the thing that used to attack him, and the soft pillow could do nothing to him. But the look on Xia Mingyu’s face made him suddenly stopped, he didn’t know what to do.

The other three people who were outside heard the scream in the room. They rushed in and asked, “What’s going on?”

Xia Mingyu saw someone coming and quickly pointed at Zhao Yun. He was terrified, “He…he’s a zombie, he’s a zombie.”

All of their faces turned to embarrassment. They almost forgot that Xia Mingyu was bitten by Zhao Yun, so he must had remembered Zhao Yun was a zombie. This was the city hospital, it would be a big trouble if they causing any disturbance. Fortunately, the man before ordered a VIP room in the hospital, so the only patient in the room was Xia Mingyu.

“Well… You don’t have to be afraid. He won’t hurt you.” He Nai walked over, picked up the rice porridge on the table and handed it to Xia Mingyu, “Don’t be nervous. We’re all good people. We won’t hurt you. Aren’t you hungry? Eat something.”

The beauty and charm of woman can be shown everywhere. Xia Mingyu obviously relaxed a little bit. Although he was still scared by Zhao Yun when he looked at him. But when he found that the other Zhao Yun just stood there and didn’t do anything. So he was relieved a little.

Xia Mingyu took the bowl with his shaky hands and ate the porridge. He had not eaten anything since this morning, because the Zhao family was busy doing other things and brought him out of his room. Later, he was put into the tomb, and he was even able to find food. He was so hungry that he could eat a cow.

A bowl of rice porridge soon finished by Xia Mingyu. He licked his lips which gradually got back to normal red colour, and he looked so pitiful, “Hmm… Is there any more? I’m still so hungry…”

Xia Mingyu looked very cute when he was asking for food. He Nai was very happy. She nodded and went out to the hospital canteen to get more food. Xia Mingyu saw the other three people in the room, curled up into a ball, and stayed very alert.
