The First Demon of the Chan Sect

Chapter 313: Chapter 2: Hao Tian Returns (Part 2)

Zhang Linghan and Yao Changsheng abruptly stood up and stared at the brawny young man, asking in unison, “Xiao Xuan, what happened to our families? Why are you so panic-stricken?”

This young man named Xiao Xuan stopped in his tracks, took two heavy breaths, and said, “Uncle Zhang, Uncle Yao, something terrible has happened. Both of our aunts accidentally fell into the lake while coming back from washing clothes by the lake! Thankfully, Brother Zhang happened to be by the lake cleaning his game, and he managed to save them both. Right now, they’re both unconscious; uncles, you should hurry back home to check on them!”

“What? Can such things really happen?” Zhang Linghan and Yao Changsheng exchanged a look, uttered a loud cry of anxiety, and without further ado, sprinted towards their homes.

At this moment outside the somewhat refined wooden cottages of the Zhang and Yao families, a cluster of villagers were sighing in distress.

“Alas, the wives of the Zhang and Yao families are such good people, how could they have met with such misfortune!”

“Heavens are too unjust, such good people like the two sisters-in-law, already unfortunate not to have children, and now they’ve encountered such calamity! The heavens are unjust, truly unjust!”

…

“Move aside, everyone, move aside! Good Person Zhang and Yao the Good are back!” All of a sudden, a rather burly voice came from outside.

In a state of anxiousness, Zhang Linghan and Yao Changsheng ran back into their homes, only to see their wives, pale-faced, lying unconscious on the cots. Although their breathing was steady, they remained unconscious.

“What are we to do now? Wife, wife…” Inside the Zhang family’s house, Zhang Linghan called out to his wife with a worried expression on his honest face.

The situation in Yao’s house was similar to that of the Zhang’s, with the difference being that Lady Yao’s face was ruddy and her condition did not seem as severe as Mrs. Zhang’s.

Time passed, and it was well into the afternoon. Just as Zhang Linghan and Yao Changsheng were worried sick about their wives’ condition and could not think of food or drink, the front door of Yao’s house was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
