Chapter 60 The Death of Zhou Zijun

The villagers gradually returned late at night!

The village chief went to each household to confirm before notifying everyone to go back.

At the entrance of the educated youth settlement, Xie Jianshe waited for Xie Youfu to come out before anxiously asking, "Dad, how is he? Is Zhou Ye injured?"

"Look at you, acting like a coward. Let's go back first!"

Xie Youfu glanced at Xie Jianshe with disdain.

The next morning, Zhou got up and tidied up. As soon as he opened the door, he met several pairs of eyes!

Bai Xue stood at the front, her eyes red and swollen, as if she had suffered a great injustice! Her lips trembled as if she was about to cry: "Sister Zhou, you said you would come back safely, how come you are injured?"

let me see……"

Huang Ying stood at the back, looking rather awkward. But her concerned gaze was fixed firmly on Zhou Ye, scrutinizing him from head to toe, this time without a trace of malice!

At this moment, Wang Hongying helped Chen Lan out of the house and saw Zhou Ye standing at the door. She quickly took a few steps away!

"Are you really alright? That's wonderful!" Chen Lan cried tears of joy.

Even though she was lying down, she knew that Zhou Ye had saved her life at the crucial moment! You have to understand, she herself had given up hope at the time.

She thought she was going to die!

But Zhou, with his miraculous healing skills, actually saved her! Her heart was filled with overwhelming gratitude!

In the past few days, her health has been getting better and better. She can slowly get up and slowly speak. But when she was lying in bed and learned that Zhou Ye had gone missing while gathering herbs in the deep mountains, she really wanted to go up the mountain to search for him immediately.

In her mind now, anyone can get into trouble, but Zhou cannot!

Su Yunzhou was probably tired, or perhaps he wanted to avoid any misunderstandings, so he came back and rested immediately!

Zhou Ye, unusually, didn't give anyone a hard time, and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Bai Xue, sobbing, held onto Zhou Ye's hand tightly: "Sister Zhou, please go back inside so I can see your wound."

My heart...it's breaking! Waaah..."

Zhou was helpless...

"Alright! Bai Xue, my dear girl! I'm really, really hungry right now, I could eat a whole cow! Please, have some mercy and make me some food!"

Bai Xue immediately fulfilled Zhou Ye's request, as no one could replace or substitute for the role of a cook.

She wiped away her tears quickly, put on her apron, and turned around to start cooking noisily.

Breakfast was prepared in a manner comparable to a New Year's Eve dinner.

After Bai Xue left in her busy schedule, Huang Ying was completely exposed to Zhou Ye. She felt uneasy and wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

Finally, I mustered up my courage and said, "I'm so glad you're okay! I... I'll go to work now!"

As she turned to leave, she made a point of glancing at Zhou Ye's injury.

Before long, Bai Xue had finished cooking.

"Sister Zhou, dinner's ready!"

He was stunned for a moment when he saw the food on the table! He slowly raised his head and met Bai Xue's innocent big eyes!

"What's wrong? Sister Zhou, aren't you hungry? Hurry up and eat while it's hot!"

Thinking of something, she smiled and said, "I've already prepared Su Zhiqing's meal. I'll just bring it to him when he wakes up!"

Bai Xue blinked her eyes... blinked her eyes...

Zhou Ye took a deep breath and couldn't hold back any longer: "My good girl, is your sister Zhou a pig?"

Am I going to eat all this food on this table by myself?

Count how many dishes you made.

"Breakfast! You made three soups alone! Seaweed and egg drop soup, mushroom and tofu soup, and vegetable salad. Three big bowls! Can I possibly drink all that?"

After pausing for a moment, he took another deep breath and said with a wry smile, "Let's look at the dishes again. This braised pork, who makes braised pork so early in the morning?"

This sauerkraut, minced pork, and glass noodle soup is huge. Even if I were a pig, I couldn't finish it.

And there's also garlic eggplant, tomato and egg, green peppers and cured meat, stir-fried potato slices..."

"This last main dish, a whole ten steamed buns? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Bai Xue waited for Zhou Ye to finish speaking, then chuckled.

"Sister Zhou, I'm really worried about you! You have no idea how worried I've been these past two days, I haven't been able to sleep or eat!"

You've finally come back safe and sound, so of course I have to cook something delicious for you to make up for it!

Eat first. Don't worry, we'll give any leftovers to Su Zhiqing!

"At worst, we can just give it to the front yard! Hehe..."

Zhou shook his head helplessly.

He took some bowls and plates, divided most of the food, and then began to eat slowly and carefully!

Bai Xue watched Zhou Ye eat, then washed the dishes with a smile!

"Huff... Huff... Oh no! Oh no!"

Zhou Zhiming rushed to the backyard, taking three steps at a time, panting heavily! Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead…

Even his face showed a look of terror.

"What's wrong? Zhou Zhiqing..."

A hint of worry flashed in Zhou Ye's eyes. Zhou Zhiqing was always calm and composed, so something big must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't be so flustered!

"Quick! Come with me!"

If someone comes to you, it means that someone is sick or injured!

Zhou didn't dare to delay. He packed his medicine box and was about to leave when Bai Xue stopped him.

"Sister Zhou, your leg is still injured? How are you going to get there?"

Zhou slapped his forehead, then suddenly remembered.

Zhou Zhiming was also in a dilemma!

The situation is urgent; I can't just carry him there! After all, men and women are different!

Su Yunzhou stepped forward, his gaze falling on the makeshift chair the villagers had used to carry Zhou Ye back the night before, and said, "This might work!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiming looked over, his eyes lighting up, but then he became worried again: "But I'm the only one here, everyone else is at work!"

"Or, I should go get some help now!"

"No need, I'll do it!" Su Yunzhou said, stepping forward.

"Don't!"

It was Zhou Ye who stopped him. Yesterday, Su Yunzhou came up the mountain to find him, and he was already struggling to stay upright. If he were to be lifted up again now, he would probably need to do acupuncture several times to recover.

"I'll do it!"

Just when everyone was at a loss, Xie Jianshe and Hei Zi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

However, Zhou did not expect that he would be carried to the vicinity of the cowshed.

Meanwhile, the cowshed was already full of people, and Yu Wen's heartbreaking sobs could still be heard!

"My son! Help! Someone, please save him! Help! Village chief, you can't just ignore this!"

Look at my son! He went up the mountain to look for someone last night...

Overnight...

Zhou Ye paused for a moment, then asked, "Zhou Zijun?"

What's wrong with him again?

When the village chief saw Zhou Ye, he was overjoyed, as if he had found a savior: "Zhou, the educated youth, come quickly and see if there's any hope for you?"

As soon as Zhou Ye appeared, Yu Wen went crazy and desperately tried to rush over: "Zhou Ye, you little bitch, did you drug Ziju?"

Otherwise, how could it just disappear like that?

Zhou was almost shocked!

However, she wanted to see Zhou Zijun's fate for herself.

Despite the village chief and others' obstruction, Zhou Ye successfully reached Zhou Zijun's side. One glance, just one glance…

"vomit!"

Zhou almost vomited!

Zhou Zijun's head was smashed to pieces with a stone! How could it be drugged as Yu Wen claimed?

His brains were spilling out! If it weren't for his facial features, I really wouldn't believe that the person in front of me was Zhou Zijun!

He was still alive last night...

How could he suddenly die!

In that state, it's impossible for him to still be alive.

Clinging to a last shred of hope, the village chief asked, "Is...is there any hope?"
