Chapter 52 Because We Are Friends◇
◎ In order to prevent the wound from getting infected, Zhou Yu secretly went to the space and used the hydrogen peroxide in the medicine box to rinse the wound again, and then disinfected the wound with iodine!
To prevent the wound from getting infected, Zhou Yu secretly went to the space and used the hydrogen peroxide in the medicine box to rinse the wound again, and then disinfected the wound with iodine. Then she applied the medicine prepared by her master and bandaged it.
The brother and sister's RV has an area of about 40 square meters including the cab. It is an off-road RV produced by the famous RV brand Mochi. According to his brother, this car is the kind that only superheroes in comics can drive. The fact that they can use it as a vehicle is due to the end of the world!
The interior is also luxuriously equipped, with not only two double beds, but also a small living room. In addition, the standard kitchen, bathroom, dining room, and various electrical appliances are also available.
However, the brother and sister were living in the end times at the time and had no time to maintain this thing. Apart from leaving a little space for themselves to rest on the two double beds, the rest of the space was filled with supplies.
Even the space where the TV was hung in the RV was occupied by her brother. He threw away the useless TV and hung it with weapons such as axes, daggers, and short knives!
The small reception room was completely occupied by Zhou Yu. Except for the few boxes of cosmetics in the corner that her brother had disliked in the past but now loved, the rest of the space was filled with medicines.
Because there were no hospitals at the end of the world, Zhou Yu, as a medical student, naturally collected a lot of medicines. Therefore, the medicines in her dozen or so large medicine boxes in the space were so dazzling that they almost caught up with a small pharmacy. Among them were various special-effect medicines that were once worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Common medicines such as hydrogen peroxide, iodine, and saline solution were piled up in boxes in her RV.
Zhou Yu collected these things because, firstly, she was worried that if her siblings or anyone else in the base got injured or sick, she would be able to provide timely treatment. Secondly, she was worried that if there was a drug that could curb the zombie virus that those medical experts hadn't discovered yet, she would save more to avoid being destroyed by the zombies.
But unfortunately, by the day she died, no medicine to curb the zombie virus had appeared...
However, the brother and sister were lucky enough to be transported to a world that was extremely similar to their previous life after death. In this world, the history before the Song Dynasty was almost the same as the history they had learned, but after the Song Dynasty, the course of things completely changed...
In this world, the Yuan Dynasty also intended to annex the Song Dynasty, but failed. Instead, it was driven back by Zhu Chongwu, the Chengqian Emperor who also came from a commoner family and also had the surname Zhu, along with several of his generals. He overthrew the dying Song Dynasty, ascended the throne and established the Great Yan.
Although it was also a feudal dynasty, Emperor Chengqian was born in a peasant family and suffered a lot in his childhood. He could not stand the extravagant and pretentious behavior of the literati of the time. He was even more disgusted with the foot-binding custom that had just emerged among the dancing girls in order to satisfy the twisted and perverted minds of those literati!
After taking office, he issued a clear order that all women were not allowed to bind their feet. If anyone continued to advocate or encourage women to bind their feet, he would bind his feet first to see if it hurt!
Therefore, although Zhou Yu and his sister were transported to the exile group as soon as they arrived, and the culprit who caused their entire family to be exiled was Emperor Cheng Qian, Zhou Yu still had a good impression of this founding emperor of the Great Yan who saved him from the fate of foot binding.
I really want to give him a "Friend of Women" medal! !
…
Zhou Ruifeng's medicine for wounds was a secret passed down from his master, and it was very effective. The bleeding stopped as soon as it was applied to Zhou Yu's wound, and a scab formed in less than three days.
Everyone felt relieved after seeing this.
However, Zhou Ruiquan did not let Zhou Han, who had stabbed Zhou Yu, off easily, especially when he heard that she had originally intended to stab Zhu Xi. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and directly dragged her to the hall of his house and made her kneel!
If Zhou Ruiquan wasn't really afraid that she would freeze to death, he would have wanted her to kneel in the yard and let the north wind from Liaodong blow on her brain to wake her up!
The one she wanted to stab was the Fifth Emperor's grandson! Did this damned girl think their family wasn't miserable enough and had to execute the entire family with the slashed remains?!
Fortunately, Zhou Yu blocked the sword for the fifth grandson of the emperor, and also saved them from disaster, and by the way, saved the life of this dead girl!
Zhou Ruiquan was nearly frightened to death by the incident caused by his eldest granddaughter. Not satisfied with punishing his eldest granddaughter, he also punished her mother who had caused trouble to kneel with her. He also warned everyone in the family that no one was allowed to give the mother and daughter food without his permission. They knew what was good for them as long as they were not hungry (after the fifth grandson agreed to let them get up), and no one was allowed to get up!
Seriously! How could his family produce such a troublesome thing! He's just playing tricks on Yama!
His brother is one, and these two are two!
………
In the end, Zhou Han and her daughter knelt in the hall for two days and were hungry for two days before Zhou Ruiquan (Zhu Xi) finally spoke up to spare them. This was because Zhou Yu was afraid that they would really starve to death, so he helped speak up.
But even so, Zhou Ruiquan still put the mother and daughter in solitary confinement and they were not allowed to go anywhere except their own room and the backyard toilet.
As for how long he will be imprisoned, it all depends on how long Zhu Xi will continue to stay in Zhou Jin's house.
Of course, Zhu Xi didn't know all this. He just knew that his grandfather was very unkind. When he wrote to him, he didn't even give him a penny. As a result, he had to borrow (force) 100 taels of private money from Ye Qing to use first.
Yesterday, Zhu Xi finally received the reply letter from his grandfather. The person who delivered the letter was his grandfather's secret guard Ye Qing, who was specially sent by his grandfather to protect him. For some unknown reason, there had been no news from his foster brother Jing Li.
Emperor Cheng Qian brought two letters this time, one to Zhu Xi and the other to Zhou Zelin.
In the letter to Zhu Xi, he first scolded him harshly, saying that he, as a grandson, had only been beaten by his grandfather, yet he had run away from home, and even put himself in danger, almost being bitten to death by a venomous snake. This was simply unfilial! However, since he had already realized his mistakes and had been bitten by a venomous snake before, he would forgive him for now and punish him after he returned to Beijing.
But he doesn't need to rush back to Beijing. It's very cold now and the journey is difficult. It's better to wait until the weather gets warmer next year and give him some free time!
But I still need to write more letters to this old grandfather when I have time, and have Ye Qing arrange for a fast horse to send them back, so that he won’t have to worry day and night...
Like an elderly grandfather worried about his grandson...
But the tone of the letter to Zhou Zelin changed completely.
Although he expressed his gratitude to the Zhou family for saving his grandson, he was more dissatisfied with Lord Zhou. He said that he had known Lord Zhou was Chang Sa's man for a long time and was very dissatisfied with Lord Zhou's behavior as a minister not pledging allegiance to him but to General Chang Sa. He sentenced him to death because of pressure from Prime Minister Hu. The crown prince had just passed away, and he now had to keep Prime Minister Hu in check. Secondly, it was because Lord Zhou was undisciplined and intended to control his grandson according to his own ideas...
He also warned Zhou Zelin to take his father's death as a warning and to serve his grandson obediently during this period. He also warned him not to follow his father's example and try to interfere in the royal family's succession plan!
Zhou Zelin felt a chill run down his spine after reading the letter. He realized that everything his father had done over the years had been known to Emperor Chengqian. Emperor Chengqian was fully aware of his father's plans to support the fifth grandson and had long harbored a grudge against him.
After reading this letter, Zhou Zelin had a clearer understanding of Emperor Chengqian's meticulousness and ruthlessness. Fortunately, the fifth grandson of the emperor was not interested in the throne, so Zhou Zelin no longer had to choose between repaying General Chang and being loyal to Emperor Chengqian, although he had never thought of making the second choice.
As for taking care of Zhu Xi's food, clothing, and diet, he also didn't need to do that. Zhu Xi had been living in Zhou Jin's house during this period, and Zheng had taken good care of his food, clothing, and diet...
…
After the secret guard Ye Qing secretly handed the letter to Zhu Xi, he transformed himself into a destitute old man who had been newly exiled and also settled down in Taohua Village. He rented the house that Li Gui's nephew had lived in, where Zhou Jin's family had lived before.
Apart from occasionally wandering around Zhou Jin's house, he was just like all the old men here, hanging out in groups of three or five at someone's house, playing chess, smoking, or chatting...
So when Zhu Xi saw him again, he didn't recognize him at all unless he specifically reminded him.
There was no way around it. Ye Qing, a man in his thirties, looked too much like an old man when he pretended to be one. When Li Gui brought him to play chess with Zhou Ruiquan, Zhu Xi walked over to see him out of boredom and actually thought he was just an ordinary old man in Taohua Village!
However, considering that although his grandfather scolded him in the letter, he still agreed to his request to stay in Liaodong for a while and return to Beijing after he had stayed there enough, Zhu Xi was not so averse to this person whom his grandfather had specially placed by his side!
Two days ago, after Zhu Xi asked Ye Qing for the silver, he immediately gave it to Zheng, saying that he had the honor of having a heart-to-heart talk with Uncle Zhou Zelin some time ago, and he realized his mistakes. Although it was wrong for his grandfather to beat him, he should not run away from home for such a small matter and make his grandfather worry.
Therefore, he had already written a letter to his grandfather on the day of the conversation and asked Uncle Zhou's friend to deliver it. After his grandfather learned about him, he specially asked someone to bring him some silver as his expenses during his stay at the Zhou family. He also told Zheng that he might need to stay in their house for a while longer, and his grandfather would send someone to pick him up when the weather got warmer.
Of course, this set of rhetoric was made up by Zhou Zelin for him, in order to fulfill his wish to stay in Zhou Jin's house for a few more days.
Zheng liked Zhu Xi quite a lot. Seeing that he was about the same age and height as her eldest son, and had lost his parents at a young age, her maternal instinct was aroused. She told him that if he didn't mind the simplicity of her house, he could stay as long as he wanted. She also laughed and said how much could a child like him eat, and she was determined not to take his money!
Zhu Xi had no choice but to go find Zhou Yu with the silver, thinking that the girl loved money so much that he should accept it. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu refused to accept it!
"This silver is of no use to me, young Master Yu. Your family is so poor, and you still have to buy me meat and clothes. What's wrong with you accepting this silver? Why don't you accept it?"
Zhu Xi couldn't help but snort angrily. He really wanted to compensate Hei Yatou's family!
Zhou Yu had been busy these past few days distilling alcohol from strong liquor for an experiment, but he finally heard Zhu Xi's dissatisfaction and looked up from his busy schedule. He smiled brightly, his face blackened by the charcoal fire in the kitchen, and said:
"Because we are friends!
What kind of thing is it to ask friends to stay at your home for a few days and then charge them money?
Zhu Xi...
So! It’s because! Are they friends?!
So, she saved him, protected him, was willing to bear scars for her, and allowed him to eat and drink for free in their house, all because, they! They are friends!
…
For many, many years after that, old Zhu Xi had forgotten many things, but he kept the smiling face of the black girl with a dark and gray face firmly in his mind and never forgot it for a moment.
At the same time, I also remembered...
Because we are friends!
