Chapter 85 Someone's Behind Us!

After settling Bai Xue in, Zhou planned to find an opportunity to visit the cave halfway up the mountain.

If it's true, then it really is an effortless windfall!

Zhou Ye's return with Bai Xue was the hottest news in the entire Hongqi Village. Xie Jianshe and Xie Youfu were the first to arrive at the educated youth settlement.

Xie Youfu has been dealing with too many things lately, and he looks much older than he has in just a few days. Xie Jianshe carefully supports him from behind.

However, those concerned eyes had already been fixed on Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye pretended not to see it and looked at the village chief. When the village chief asked who saved Bai Xue, Zhou Ye deliberately concealed the matter of Brother Luo and the others.

"What? The person who saved them is dead?"

Xie Youfu asked in surprise.

"Yes, he grabbed me and threw me to safety, but he was swept away by the current!"

Bai Xue said sadly.

Xie Youfu exclaimed, "What a kind person! Such selflessness is truly something we should all learn from!"

He's our role model!

But Bai Xue, you're one of them too! Good deeds are rewarded! You survived a great calamity; good fortune is sure to follow!

Xie Youfu gave Bai Xue five catties of wheat flour and one catty of brown sugar as a token of gratitude from the entire Hongqi Village.

Bai Xue had no choice but to accept it gladly.

After Xie Youfu left, only Xie Jianshe remained, saying he had something to say to Zhou Ye.

"What do you need?"

In short, Xie Jianshe's reputation was ruined.

I took several deep breaths to relax.

"After you left that day, Brother Luo didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"No, we know each other, I've said that before!"

Zhou didn't know what Xie Jianshe wanted to say, and his expression wasn't good.

Xie Jianshe pursed his lips and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to follow you. I was just very worried about you."

I went to the county town to look for you these past two days, but I couldn't find you.

"Aren't you with Brother Luo?"

Zhou Ye looked at Xie Jianshe in surprise: "You've been to Brother Luo's place?"

Yes, but I didn't see you!

Zhou understood; he was staying at a hotel, so of course the other man couldn't find him.

She smiled faintly and said, "Even if I know Brother Luo, it wouldn't be appropriate for a girl like me to live in the same room as him."

Besides, we're just acquaintances, not really close friends.

"Really?" Xie Jianshe was initially delighted, but then his attitude became somewhat strange!

"What's wrong?"

Zhou asked curiously.

Xie Jianshe said, "I originally went to the county town to find you, but I didn't find you. Instead, I saw that Brother Luo had come to the village once."

I thought you had come back, so I even followed you to the educated youth settlement.

But……

Why is Brother Luo here?

Zhou also felt something was wrong. According to his understanding, Brother Luo would not come to Hongqi Village for him, right?

Were those one or two visits really for your own sake?

Or does he have his own things to do?

"Did he come alone?"

“Yes!” Xie Jianshe said firmly.

Zhou Ye found this strange. What was Brother Luo doing here? Or was he related to what his grandfather left behind?

Regardless of Zhou Ye's current neurotic state, seeing everyone as an enemy.

This world is crazy!

Who's a good person and who's a bad person isn't written on their face!

Even if Brother Luo is an utterly wicked person, who can guarantee that he doesn't have another identity?

"Okay, I understand! I'm fine, you don't need to worry!"

Just as Zhou was about to leave, Xie Jianshe stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ye looked at the corner of his clothes that Xie Jianshe was pulling with disdain.

Xie Jianshe blushed and let go, carefully saying, "Because of the fever I had that night, you held me..."

Then……"

"And then what? Can't you, a grown man, just get to the point?"

Zhou frowned.

Xie Jianshe suddenly looked into Zhou Ye's eyes and said seriously, "Everyone's talking about what happened that day. They're all saying whether you and I are dating."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have hugged her like that...

So, if you hear any rumors, don't take them to heart or get angry! I'll explain!

Zhou Ye's expression relaxed; he had thought something serious had happened.

He said nonchalantly, "It's okay, no need to explain!"

Explaining it won't help anyway!

For a fleeting moment, Xie Jianshe's eyes lit up, then went dark again! He gave a self-deprecating laugh. It wasn't that he didn't need an explanation, but rather that he disdained to.

There is absolutely no possibility between Zhou Ye and myself!

After Xie Jianshe left, Zhou turned around and saw Su Yunzhou with a gloomy face!

"Zhou Zhiqing, you're so popular!"

That's incredibly sarcastic!

Zhou frowned dismissively: "What's wrong with you now, sir?"

Ever since Su Yunzhou dug him out of the rubble, their relationship has improved a lot; at the very least, they should be considered friends, right?

Maybe!

"Are you alright?" Su Yunzhou asked with concern after calming himself down.

"It's alright, great! Not a single hair fell out!"

Su Yunzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief!

"You too, so young, yet so daring! You dare to follow anyone?" Su Yunzhou scolded.

Then he said helplessly, "You can stay in the front yard for now, and I've already arranged for people to speed up the construction of the back yard!"

They should be able to move in in about three to five days!

"So fast?" Zhou Ye exclaimed in surprise.

"I bought some mud bricks that people had prepared in advance, paid someone to help me, and it only took two or three days."

The backyard is more spacious this time, and it's more comfortable to live in!

Zhou Ye nodded...

Seeing that Zhou had nothing else to say, Su Yunzhou suddenly asked, "Have you packed all your things?"

"Is anything missing?"

Zhou looked at Su Yunzhou strangely: "No, I'm fine. At most, it's just a pity about the bedding and food!"

Su Yunzhou smiled: "That's good!"

After having lunch at the educated youth settlement, Zhou used the excuse of going to the mountain to collect herbs to head straight for the cave.

"Creak..."

Zhou also paused...

He suddenly turned around and looked behind him, but there was nothing there.

Wait a minute, ever since I drank the spiritual spring water, my six senses have become extremely sharp!

There's someone behind us! There definitely is!

He muttered to himself, "Did I hear wrong? Maybe it was an animal!"

As Zhou said this, he continued up the mountain, and did not stop except to collect herbs along the way!

However, the eyes behind those eyes seem to be growing increasingly audacious...
