The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 189

"Ah...ah," Chen Feng tried his best to clean the lime from his eyes with his hands, but he couldn't get it completely clean. Tears and lime kept mixing, and quicklime turned into slaked lime, emitting extremely strong heat, and the burning sensation became stronger and stronger. "Ah...ah."

"It hurts so much, it's unbearable! This is truly the worst time of my life! That female thief, I won't let you get away with this! No matter where you run, I'll definitely bring you back!" Chen Feng screamed in agony. More quicklime mixed with his tears, turning into slaked lime, the heat increasing and intensifying, the burning sensation growing stronger. Chen Feng couldn't open his eyes and could only grope around, finally grabbing a piece of cloth. Chen Feng hurriedly wiped his eyes with the cloth, "Ah...ah, it hurts so much, it hurts so much! Am I going to go blind like this?"

Chen Feng had doubts, and little by little, he began to feel afraid. If he really went blind, he would never see this vast world again. If he really went blind, how could he investigate the massacre of the Chen family? And He Fei, she was still waiting for him, waiting for him to go back to her. No, he couldn't let anything happen to him, he couldn't become blind, he couldn't… "Ah… ah…" Water, he needed water, he had to find a water pipe, find a water source…

"That's it, that's the sound coming from here." People heard screams coming from Chen Feng's room and rushed over. "This is Professor Chen Feng's dormitory. He's a new student here today. The dean summoned him."

"Ouch, it hurts so much, it hurts so much." Chen Feng wiped his eyes with a cloth, trying to speed up the cleaning process as much as possible.

The group pushed open Chen Feng's door and saw him standing in the hall, wiping his eyes with a cloth. "Teacher Chen Feng, was that you calling me?"

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, quick, help me, I've got lime in my eyes..."

"What?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "You got lime in your eyes?"

Someone walked up to Chen Feng and saw a layer of white on his face; it was indeed lime. "Teacher Chen Feng, come with me, I'll take you to find water."

"Okay, thank you." Chen Feng expressed his gratitude.

"Come on, follow me." With that, the man pulled Chen Feng along, running to the backyard. He drew a bucket of water from the well, lifted the bucket, and poured the water on Chen Feng's face. Chen Feng rubbed his eyes, letting the water cleanse the lime in them, especially the hard-to-reach areas. "Ah, it feels a bit better." Seeing the water was like finding a lifeline for Chen Feng. He washed the lime from his eyes as quickly as possible, trying to resolve the situation quickly, otherwise, it might cause irreversible consequences. He washed and washed until his eyes were completely clean. When one bucket of water was used up, he quickly drew another, lifted the bucket again, and poured the water on Chen Feng's face again. Chen Feng knew this would require several washes, at least thirty minutes, followed by eye drops, and if the condition worsened, oral medication to reduce inflammation and infection.

Water splashed on his face, and Chen Feng kept rubbing his eyes. Rubbing them repeatedly gave him a sense of security, because he couldn't bear the consequences. He needed to wash them clean, thoroughly clean them. "You brat, you little thief, I won't let you get away with this. You just wait."

After one bucket of water was used up, another bucket was filled, and the process of washing and rubbing was repeated over and over again, lasting for a total of fifteen buckets.

"Teacher Chen Feng, how are you?" the man asked.

"It still hurts a little, but I think it's clean now," Chen Feng said.

"Your eyes may be slightly burned, but it's nothing serious. Let's go back, and I'll put some eye drops in for you," the man explained.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Feng followed the man back to his dormitory. People gathered around, and the dean also arrived. The man turned around and went out to get eye drops.

Chen Feng sat on the bed, and the dean walked over to him. "What's with the lime in your eyes?"

Chen Feng nodded. "Oh, I've run into her."

"Who did you meet? A petty thief?" the dean asked.

“Yes,” Chen Feng nodded.

The dean asked again, "You couldn't even catch her?"

Chen Feng nodded. "I caught her, but I was careless for a moment and she got away again. I even got my eyes hurt by her lime."

The dean nodded. He had fought Chen Feng before and knew Chen Feng's abilities. Even Chen Feng had failed, let alone others; no wonder they couldn't catch him. Even if they had, they'd probably be the ones getting littered in the eyes. What a shrewd little thief! I underestimated her before, but now I realize she was right. She dared to steal from my martial arts academy before dark; she must have some skill.

The dean nodded. "Did you get a good look at her?"

Chen Feng shook his head. "I didn't see it clearly."

"Teacher Chen Feng, the eye drops are here." As he spoke, someone walked up to Chen Feng with the eye drops in hand.

Chen Feng lay on the bed, propping his eyes open with his hand. "Could you please help me put in some eye drops?"

"Okay, lie down and don't move." The man slowly dripped eye drops into Chen Feng's eyes. "Alright, Mr. Chen Feng, don't move, rest for a while. You're fine, it won't make you blind."

Chen Feng rubbed his eyes and said, "Okay, thank you."

"It's nothing, you're too kind."

The dean nodded. "Okay, that's enough for today. Chen Feng, get some rest. If you feel unwell, just call for help."

"Okay, thank you, Dean," Chen Feng said gratefully.

"It's alright, let's all go back first," the dean instructed.

"Okay," everyone left, leaving Chen Feng alone in the room. Chen Feng didn't tell the truth. He had seen the girl's face clearly and noticed an expensive watch on her wrist. The watch had a seal, the seal of a certain sect, but Chen Feng didn't know which sect. Perhaps it was a sect that had a grudge against this academy, trying to cause trouble. No, would someone only steal money to cause trouble? Could she really be an ordinary female thief? But her skills were too agile; she could easily be a martial artist. Could she be using the theft to create chaos to cover up her other intentions? Was the theft really just a coincidence? But why did she specifically come to my extremely simple room? Shouldn't thieves choose luxurious rooms? It seemed more like she deliberately created a coincidence to lure people here, to complete a feint attack. Forget it, I'll rest. Whatever it is, I'll deal with it tomorrow. I'll get a good night's sleep. Who would have thought that just moments before, when I was saying I could finally get a good night's sleep and finally get some rest, this would happen so quickly? A good night's sleep has become a luxury. Ugh, time to sleep, I don't want to think about it anymore.
