Chapter 736 Is it such an emergency?

Gu Xiaoxi was shocked. "You threw money again? How much money did you throw this time?"

Grandpa Jiang said helplessly, "It's the same as before, wrapped in old newspapers, 10,000 yuan thrown away every day. 4,400 yuan thrown away every day. We are panicking with the money, and have already reported it to the police."

If he hadn't reported it to the police, he wouldn't have been able to just go to the post office and make a phone call and say it out loud.

"Is it just money this time? Is there anything else?" Gu Xiaoxi asked quickly.

"Nothing else but money. That $4,400, we thought it was an unlucky sum."

At this point, Grandpa Jiang paused and said, "These past few days, your grandmother Bai's family has not been peaceful."

Gu Xiaoxi was slightly startled, "What happened to Grandma Bai's family?"

"I don't understand this. Someone threw money at our house, but someone threw some weird things at your grandmother's house. There were bloody handkerchiefs, blood-stained banknotes, and even some burnt clothes and blood-stained ashes..."

"Your grandmother Bai was frightened and has been ill for several days. Her face is getting paler and paler and she looks very unwell..."

Gu Xiaoxi was a little puzzled, "Did Grandma Bai say anything? Why would someone throw those things into her house?"

Grandpa Jiang sighed again, "I don't know much about this. When I went to see your grandmother Bai yesterday, she couldn't speak clearly. Her lips were very pale. Later I heard from your uncle Zhuang that Yan Huai had died. I was wondering if something had happened to you since there has been no news from you recently."

Gu Xiaoxi hesitated for a while before saying, "Grandpa, I actually received some scary things, too, including a blood-stained handkerchief. There was even a piece of Gu Xinli's severed hand. This matter is being investigated now. But I'm fine, I'm not scared, Jiaoyang and Xingchen are also fine. You don't have to worry."

Grandpa Jiang listened to the sound of the stream and felt relieved that her tone and condition were still good.

Gu Xiaoxi chatted with his grandfather for a while before hanging up the phone.

Originally she wanted to go see Gu Xinli, but now she felt that she should go back to Huaicheng first.

After speaking to Lu Jiansen on the computer, she immediately left Xining Military Academy.

A lot of things have happened recently, and Gu Xiaoxi suddenly felt that he had no merit points left, and he felt a little insecure.

So, before returning to Huaicheng, she went to the mountains to pick up fallen leaves, exchanged them for saplings, and then went to the desert to plant trees.

After earning 300 merit points, she looked at the time and saw that it was already 4:30 in the afternoon, so she returned to Huaicheng.

I got home at five in the afternoon.

When Grandpa Jiang saw Xiaoxi suddenly come back, his eyes widened.

"Xiaoxi, why...why are you back?"

It's only been a few hours since I called you, how come you suddenly came back?

Gu Xiaoxi had already thought of an excuse, so he casually explained, "Something happened at the Xining Military Academy recently, and there happened to be a helicopter flying to our Huainan Military Region, so I applied for it and came along. I was worried about you guys."

"Oh! I shouldn't have told you if I had known. You are suffering too much." Grandpa Jiang felt a little regretful.

This phone call actually called Xiaoxi back.

"It's okay. Grandpa, has anything happened at home recently?"

Grandpa Jiang told her all the big and small things that had happened recently.

Finally, he sighed again, "I saw your Grandma Bai last week, and she was in good condition at that time. Your mother and I went to see her last night, and she couldn't get up. I heard from your second uncle Zhuang that she vomited blood several times..."

"Have you been to the hospital?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

"I went to see a doctor the day before yesterday. The hospital said that I was frightened and had trouble sleeping. They didn't say anything else."

"Well. Then I'll go to the Bai family."

Gu Xiaoxi brought back a medical kit this time, so he planned to go there directly.

"Let me go with you!" Grandpa Jiang also stood up and planned to go together.

Gu Xiaoxi thought it was a good idea, so he went to Grandma Bai's house while chatting with his grandfather.

But what surprised Gu Xiaoxi was that when they arrived at Grandma Bai's house, the door was closed and no one was home.

Gu Xiaoxi was a little confused, "It's almost time to make dinner, why is no one home?"

"Could it be that your Grandma Bai is seriously ill and has gone to the hospital?" Grandpa Jiang guessed.

"That's possible. Grandpa, I'll take you home first and I'll go to the hospital to check it out."

"Okay." Grandpa Jiang nodded and returned home.

After seeing his grandfather return home, Gu Xiaoxi went to the hospital again.

Their home was closest to Huaicheng People's Hospital, which was also the best hospital in Huai, so she went directly to the People's Hospital.

Because she had worked at the People's Hospital for a few days before, many doctors and nurses here knew her. When they heard that she was looking for a patient, they examined her enthusiastically.

"Now all patients who come to our hospital have to register. They will go through the registration process and ask, 'Doctor Gu,'"

Five minutes later, the doctor who helped her check shook his head and said, "Doctor Gu, no one named Bai Muyu came to see the doctor today. If this person is not in our hospital, he may go to the Second Hospital."

"Thank you!" Gu Xiaoxi thanked him and went to the Second Hospital.

However, Gu Xiaoxi did not see the Zhuang family and Grandma Bai at the Huaicheng Second People's Hospital.

After thinking about it, she went to Grandma Bai's house again.

But the door of their house was still closed.

A family living nearby saw Gu Xiaoxi coming back and said, "You are looking for someone from their family! The old lady from the Zhuang family has been in poor health recently, so they took her back to Yuncheng at noon today."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "Back to Yuncheng?"

Everything was fine, why did you go back to Yuncheng?

"Yes! I vaguely heard them say they were going back to Yuncheng. They also said that fallen leaves return to their roots, so maybe it's better to live in Yuncheng. I think the old lady is afraid that her illness can't be cured, so she wants to go back to her hometown before she dies."

Gu Xiaoxi was startled again, "Did you hear what they said?"

"Nothing. I only heard the girl named Zhuang Ling ask her father whether he should notify your family. Then her father said it might be too late, so they left together."

Gu Xiaoxi was puzzled when he heard this.

Too late?

If you are really that sick, why don't you go to the hospital but go back to Yuncheng instead?

She can go back to Yuncheng, why doesn't she even have time to let someone go to her house to tell her?

For some reason, she felt that what Uncle Zhuang and the others did was a little strange.

Could it be that Grandma Bai is dying, and Uncle Zhuang’s Grandma Bai can’t make it to Yuncheng before she dies?

Is it really such an emergency?
