Aunt Wang's eyes showed pity: "Oh, this...she, she has disappeared long ago."
Zhou Bin's eyes went dark when he heard this, and he almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly asked, "Aunt Wang, what's going on?"
Aunt Wang recalled what happened after Zhou Bin left. According to her, after Zhou Bin left, Zhou Bin's wife seemed like a different person.
Before, the lady of the Zhou family wore bright clothes. Although they were also made of coarse cloth, she looked very young.
But after Zhou Bin left, Mrs. Zhou changed completely into black coarse cloth clothes and stopped combing her hair, leaving it loose on her head.
Her face also turned dark, making her look like a pitiful woman.
Everyone was surprised and didn't know why Mrs. Zhou did this.
Even though my man has left, I can't do this.
But when everyone told her this, Mrs. Zhou looked indifferent. She said she was fine the way she was and didn't need to dress up.
Everyone thought she was very strange, but they didn't know what to say.
In this way, a period of time passed. Mrs. Zhou worked hard every day and lived a peaceful life.
Suddenly one day, Mrs. Zhou had a stomachache, and it looked very scary.
Later, Aunt Wang and several other neighbors hurriedly found a doctor to treat her. After the doctor examined her, he found that Mrs. Zhou was pregnant.
Mrs. Zhou was very happy when she heard the news, and everyone saw her crying that day.
After that, Mrs. Zhou continued to work, exhausted and very tired every day.
Gradually, Mrs. Zhou's belly grew bigger and it became a little inconvenient for her to move.
She was no longer able to do heavy work and could only do laundry and weaving at home to make a living.
Since Zhou Bin had been gone for several months, everyone felt very sorry for her.
Some people even said that Mrs. Zhou’s husband might have met with an accident along the way, otherwise, there would be no news of him until now.
But Mrs. Zhou firmly disagreed with everyone's opinion. She said that her man was going to take the imperial examination.
She had dreamed that her man was the top scorer in high school and would come back to see her soon.
After hearing her words, everyone even laughed, thinking that she was just dreaming.
However, Mrs. Zhou didn't care at all. She was still busy every day, preparing for the birth of her child.
Just like this for more than a month, suddenly one day, bandits came here, killing people and robbing everywhere.
Everyone was so scared that they hid everywhere, fearing that they would lose their lives.
That night, the whole town was filled with people hiding and fleeing for their lives.
In the panic, no one noticed the situation of Mrs. Zhou. It was not until the next day, after the bandits left, that everyone returned home.
At this time, every family's home had been looted by bandits, and every family suffered heavy losses.
Just when everyone was feeling sorry for what had happened to their family, someone suddenly discovered that Mrs. Zhou was missing.
Everyone was very surprised, and then they remembered that Mrs. Zhou was alone at home and was pregnant.
Everyone rushed to her house to check and found that the house had been ransacked and no one was home.
The neighbors all felt something was wrong, wondering if the lady from the Zhou family had met with an accident.
Everyone hurriedly searched everywhere in the town, but after searching for many days, there was still no sign of Mrs. Zhou.
Everyone has concluded that Mrs. Zhou might have met with an accident.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Mrs. Zhou was alone and pregnant, and it was hard for her to live alone.
But who knew that bandits would come again, and this time we couldn’t even find the person. I’m afraid he had been killed by the bandits a long time ago.
Everyone felt sorry for her, but there was nothing they could do.
Gradually, this incident became something that people occasionally talked about after dinner, and everyone gradually forgot about it.
It was not until Zhou Bin returned home today that Aunt Wang brought up the matter again.
After listening to what Aunt Wang said, Zhou Bin felt his eyes go dark, he suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The servants nearby were terrified and rushed to rescue Zhou Bin, and also called a doctor to help Zhou Bin treat his illness.
After the doctor's treatment, Zhou Bin slowly opened his eyes.
After waking up, Zhou Bin burst into tears, and everyone around him also shed tears.
Zhou Bin couldn't believe that his wife had met with an accident during the more than half a year he had been away. Was this God's arrangement?
Zhou Bin felt a pang of pain in his heart. Ever since Xiao Nan followed him, he had hardly had a good day.
At first, she followed me and had to eat coarse food. Later, I went out to do hard labor, but I couldn't earn much money. She still lived a hard life.
But she was particularly good to herself, helping her with laundry and cooking every day and keeping herself clean.
She also tried hard to get pregnant and have children.
Why was God so blind to such a virtuous and gentle woman that he had to bring down a disaster and prevent her from being reunited with him?
Zhou Bin thought about it and felt so painful that he couldn't express it in words.
He sent people to search around the town and the county, but found nothing.
Zhou Bin did not give up and searched in several surrounding counties and towns, but the final result was still not satisfactory.
In this way, Zhou Bin wasted nearly half a month, but all the news made him despair.
Zhou Bin was completely desperate. He felt that his wife must have met with an accident, otherwise, why would there be no news at all.
