Chapter 47 Physical Deficiency

Gu Xizhou, who was about to leave with Xu Jianian in his arms, suddenly stopped. Everyone in the bedroom looked at Grandpa Xu who had just spoken.

Grandpa Xu's face wrinkled again at some point, and in the puzzled gazes of everyone, he waved at Gu Xizhou.

Gu Xizhou was a little confused, but still took a few steps towards Grandpa Xu very respectfully.

Although Gu Xizhou could slow down his pace, his long legs allowed him to reach Grandpa Xu in just a few steps.

Grandpa Xu signaled Xu Jianian with his eyes to get off Gu Xizhou, then he reached out and placed his hand on Gu Xizhou's wrist.

Gu Xizhou narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew what the Xu family's ancestors did, but he didn't expect that Grandpa Xu would use it in front of him so defenselessly.

If he was a bad guy, and ran outside to shout, the Xu family would be completely finished.

Fortunately, he had no ill intentions, but he still somewhat disapproved of Grandpa Xu's reckless behavior.

"Grandpa Xu, you are outside..."

He was interrupted by Grandpa Xu's voice before he could finish his words. "Young man, your Yang Qi is abundant, but it's overflowing. If you can't release it, it will become stagnant. In the long run, it will be detrimental to your health."

"Plus, you still have old injuries in your body that haven't fully healed. If you don't pay more attention, you'll suffer when you get older."

When Su Nanzhi heard Grandpa Xu say that Gu Xizhou's old injury had not healed, she began to lose focus and began to recall the stories that circulated in the army after Gu Xizhou had an accident in her previous life.

As the top soldier in the army, Gu Xizhou's personal abilities are naturally outstanding, and the team he commands is also among the best. However, such a top soldier actually failed and died in a simple mission.

Because some people in this family compound said that Gu Xizhou was just a name in name only, but some also said that Gu Xizhou got his retribution because he had killed too many people.

Su Nan had never thought about it this way, but he also guessed that Gu Xizhou made a mistake in the mission because of a momentary mistake.

But now that I think about it, Gu Xizhou would have been more careful during the mission, so how could he have made a mistake?

But Grandpa Xu's words gave Su Nanzhi a new guess.

Gu Xizhou had a health problem, which led to an accident during a small mission.

After he finished speaking, Grandpa Xu's gaze fell on Su Nanzhi who was standing beside him, with a meaningful expression.

"You can barely get along with this girl. Only when the yin and yang are in harmony can the relationship last."

When Gu Xizhou heard this, his face turned red. He couldn't help but look at Su Nanzhi beside him, but found that her eyes were blank and he didn't know what she was thinking. His expression unconsciously returned to normal.

When Su Nanzhi came to her senses, she heard Grandpa Xu's last words, but after all, she had the memories of her previous life, so she tried to remain calm.

Ignoring the second half of Grandpa Xu's words, he turned to Gu Xizhou and said, "Captain Gu, for the sake of our people, you must also take good care of yourself."

Before Gu Xizhou could react to this sudden concern, Grandpa Xu spoke again.

"Xiao Su, if you have the time to care about Xiao Gu's health, you should also pay attention to your own health."

"I can tell you're malnourished without even taking your pulse, but your complexion..."

At this point, Grandpa Xu showed an inquiring expression on his face.

A good Chinese medicine practitioner can determine the cause of the patient's disease through simple observation, smelling, questioning and palpation.

Just now, he had noticed from the way Gu Xizhou walked that he had a hidden illness, and after taking his pulse, he was more certain of his initial diagnosis.

As for Su Nanzhi's small body, even people who have not studied medicine can see that she is in poor health.

But this complexion is a little strange, the black is too evenly distributed...

Su Nanzhi, who had specially applied black foundation before going out today, touched her hands under the gaze of Grandpa Xu to make sure that the foundation had not faded. She breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed the subject.

"Grandpa Xu, I've been eating and drinking well recently, so I'm sure I'll be able to keep up with the nutrition in the future."

Grandpa Xu glared at him. "Besides being malnourished, your body is also very empty. You have the same problem as Xiao Gu. Thinking too much will make you lose your mind."

Gu Xizhou, who was standing aside, looked calm after hearing Grandpa Xu's diagnosis of him, as if Grandpa Xu was talking about an unrelated person.

Although he had good innate conditions, his current achievements relied more on his all-out efforts in daily training and his fearlessness when on missions, so naturally his body was covered with scars.

After hearing what Grandpa Xu said to Su Nanzhi, Gu Xizhou felt some indescribable emotions in his heart.

"Grandpa Xu, I'm more open-minded now." Su Nanzhi didn't expect that she would become "sicker than sick." "I'll take revenge if I have a grudge, and I'll go crazy if I can't win. Don't let anyone make things difficult for me."

These words were somewhat radical in this era, but Grandpa Xu nodded repeatedly as he listened to them, and even Gu Xizhou, who was standing beside him, showed a faint smile on his face.

“Life should be lived to the fullest, otherwise it would be a waste of life.”

Grandpa Xu said this with a smile, but when he looked at Xu Jianian who was grinning beside him, his face was full of sadness.

Su Nanzhi immediately noticed his mood and comforted him, "It will be over soon, just hold on for another two years."

This year is 1975. The turmoil will end completely in 1976, and by then the Xu family will be able to live a happy life.

Grandpa Xu smiled and didn't respond, but he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"I think Xiao Su and Xiao Gu are a good match."

"Neither of them likes to speak their mind, so maybe when they get together, they'll talk even more."

Although Grandma Xu doesn't know any medical skills, she has learned more about Chinese medicine culture than most people through observation and exposure.

She hadn't said anything just now, but her sudden opening brought the topic back to where it started.

Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi blurted out the words almost at the same time.

"Comrade Su and I are not suitable."

"Captain Gu is not my type."

The former was said by Gu Xizhou, and the latter was said by Su Nanzhi.

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other with different expressions on their faces.

Gu Xizhou frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied. So, what type does Su Nanzhi like?

Su Nanzhi was a little embarrassed. She always had the illusion that she had rejected the other party.

"I like gay men who are cheerful and humorous. Captain Gu probably doesn't like me either."

After she finished speaking, she laughed awkwardly a few times, but after seeing Gu Xizhou's expressionless face, her smile quickly disappeared.

Although Grandma Xu is old, she doesn't like to act as a matchmaker like some older aunties. Feeling the silence in the air, she didn't continue to match the two of them. She laughed and changed the subject.

"You can stay home and have something to eat before leaving. Thank you for taking care of Nian Nian these past few days."

It was naturally impossible for Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou to stay for dinner. Given the Xu family's current situation, they had no food to eat after one meal. If they really had dinner at his house, the Xu family would probably not have anything to eat for several days.

But Su Nanzhi agreed, and before Grandma Xu could react, she turned and walked out the door, saying as she walked: "Then I'll go to the state-owned restaurant to buy some vegetables, and Grandpa Xu, you guys can just cook something."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Nanzhi's figure disappeared in the yard.
