Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Playing Dead: The Dead Fish Moved!
Xi Ruzhu guiltily glanced at Xi Rubao, a mass of blood on the ground.
She suddenly discovered that the girl’s tightly closed eyes had opened a slit, and her bloodied lips twitched a few times...
The dead fish... moved, moved!
Xi Ruzhu was so scared she nearly lost her soul, staggering back a step and grabbing Gu Qiusha’s arm: "Mom, am I seeing a ghost!"
Gu Qiusha’s attention was fully on Xi Rubao, and she saw it too.
At this moment, her reaction was completely different from Xi Ruzhu’s. She was anxious and distraught, instinctively shaking off Xi Ruzhu’s hand and instead rushed forward, pouncing to Xi Rubao’s side.
The paramedic frowned, "Hey, family members shouldn’t go over, it’s bloodied all over and filthy, and she might have taken poison before jumping. If you get contaminated, it’s a hassle, and we haven’t brought any antidote."
Gu Qiusha turned a deaf ear, not caring at all if she got bloodstained, much less if there was poison. She held Xi Rubao’s small face with tear-reddened eyes: "Baby? Baby?"
A mother’s unconditional love for her child was vividly portrayed in her actions.
Seeing this, Xi Ruzhu from behind was filled with both fear and jealousy!
That woman really only had her biological daughter in her heart!
In the midst of Gu Qiusha’s calling, Xi Rubao spoke with difficulty, in a hoarse voice: "Mom... Sister Zuzi... I don’t want to die..."
Gu Qiusha burst into tears: "Alright, alright, mommy understands. Baby, mommy will find the best doctor for you, you must hang in there!"
The paramedic beside them was dumbfounded, unable to believe this violation of science: the patient he had declared dead was awake and speaking!
Is this the legendary resurrection?!
Xi Ruzhu watched, her heart pounding with fear. Now that the dead Jinli was awake, was her mind clear? Would she remember what happened before jumping? Would she say it?
She nervously measured her words and asked the paramedic: "Doctor, in my sister’s situation, is there any hope?"
The paramedic gathered himself and answered firmly: "No hope, at most a brief rally. She won’t last for more than a few seconds."
Xi Ruzhu quietly let out a sigh of relief.
A few seconds of resurrection weren’t enough to turn the tide.
Just when she was about to relax.
Xi Rubao suddenly asked: "Sister Zhuzhu, why did you egg me on to jump?"
Xi Ruzhu’s mind went blank. Explosion.
She scrambled to respond: "Baby, are you confused? Why would I make you jump? It was always Zuzi encouraging you to jump."
Zuzi gave her a glance: "Are you sure?"
Xi Ruzhu, under pressure, stammered on with difficulty: "Y-yes, the whole family knows, you said something about word spirit..."
Zuzi: "Do you know that constantly lying is also an offense to the word spirit?"
Xi Ruzhu panicked even more, desperately covering up, never admitting: "Zuzi, you’ve misunderstood, I really haven’t lied..."
Weakly, Xi Rubao’s voice asked again: "Sister Zhuzhu, but you tricked me by saying there was a Secret Paper, making me do the paper on the balcony. I did it for half a day, only to find it was just an ordinary review paper, the one I did many times..."
Xi Ruzhu: "...!"
How could this slacker remember so clearly?
Listening to Xi Rubao’s fragmented account, Gu Qiusha’s face gradually grew solemn: "Zhuzhu, was it you who made the baby go to the balcony? Why didn’t you mention it just now?"
