Chapter 176: One-day trip to Taoyuan Village
The person he just saved was Qin Muxue's husband? Gu Zhiyu finally realized it.
However, he only focused on completing his task and didn't care about anything else.
Qin Muxue didn't let him leave now, probably because she was afraid that Shi Yan's operation would not be successful. But after his operation, how could it not be successful?
He thought this place was a forest, but when he reached the edge, he found that the place was covered by glass. The sun was scorching outside, but the temperature here did not feel hot at all.
This place is really amazing. He knocked on the glass and found that the material of the glass was very solid.
Not only did he see the endless desert outside, he also saw some strange-looking people in the desert. However, that group of people were also very friendly to him and waved to him.
Rather than being human, they looked more like the aliens that had been displayed at the base before.
The more I look at this place, the stranger it seems. Could it be that we are no longer on the Blue Planet?
Gu Zhiyu was very curious about everything here, and he just saw the missing Professor Sheng. He was actually in this place. He originally thought that he had died.
He became a little excited when he thought about Sheng Xingyuan's previous promise to discuss academic issues with him.
Not far away, there was a pond and an elderly man was sitting by the river fishing. Gu Zhiyu had nothing to do, so he just watched the old man fishing.
After a while, he was seen catching a lot of carp. He released all the smaller ones and kept a few big carp.
"Remember to come to the small square to eat in the evening. There are a lot of delicious food tonight."
"Are you talking to me?"
"Yeah, if not with you, then with whom?"
After coming here, Gu Zhiyu discovered that the people here all knew how to share. Some people farmed, some fished, and some grew vegetables. Everyone had a clear division of labor and each had their own responsibilities.
"Why do people here seem to be at peace with the world?" Gu Zhiyu asked the question in his mind.
"Because we have everything we need here. Ah Xue has planned everything for us. We can all be self-sufficient. There is no need to fight over anything. Doctor, you will understand after you stay here."
He grew up in an inward-looking city. When he grew up, his parents expected him to make a name for himself. They often told him that he must make a lot of money and stand out. As a result, he has made a lot of money now, but his parents were killed in a natural disaster.
Qin Muxue looks cruel, but she is very kind to the villagers here.
After nightfall, the entire Taoyuan Village began to become truly lively. A bonfire was burning in the small square, and large plates of delicacies were served. The carps caught during the day were made into grilled fish with fermented black beans.
Not only that, the food here tastes just like what I ate in restaurants before.
Young people were drinking home-brewed beer, while older people were eating delicious food and watching the fun. There was even a huge projector showing movies, which actually made him feel like he was on vacation.
"Doctor Gu, eat. Don't be in a daze. Eat more!" Cong Ning picked up a piece of fish for him and said, "Try it. Do you think the food here suits your taste?"
Gu Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, "It suits my taste very well."
It seemed as if he had never been treated so equally before. Due to his superior medical skills, he was always high and mighty in the base. Apart from performing surgery, he never came into contact with irrelevant people.
"Then eat more."
Congjie, who was standing next to her, looked at her sister's attentiveness and felt a little dissatisfied. "Sister, don't be so nice to men."
Cong Ning nudged him with his elbow and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It was Wan Wan who asked me to entertain Dr. Gu well."
Gu Zhiyu was dissatisfied, "So, you are also a man, and your sister will stay away from you too."
"You..." Cong Jie was choked and speechless.
"Even men can be good or bad. Not all of them are bad. I don't know what kind of men your sister has met before, but I can guarantee that I, Gu Zhiyu, have never emotionally deceived a woman."
He just loves money, and making money is much better than falling in love.
Cong Ning lowered his head silently and said, "I met the wrong person." Then he never approached Gu Zhiyu again.
Gu Zhiyu wondered if he had said something wrong. Cong Jie looked at him with resentment and said, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak!"
Cong Ning had almost recovered with great difficulty, but because of this man's words, he remembered all the bad things in his heart.
Gu Zhiyu was a stubborn person. He ate his meal by himself and ignored Congjie.
After eating, he returned to his room, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and tried to rest, but he couldn't fall asleep.
Because Ning's expression at that time kept appearing in his mind, tormenting him so much that he couldn't sleep at all.
Gu Zhiyu climbed up. The night sky was clear today and he could see numerous stars in the sky. Such a scene could no longer be seen on the Blue Star.
He heard the voices of a man and a woman talking not far away.
"Mu Wanwan, don't let my sister entertain that man. He almost made my sister cry today. If it weren't for Qin Muxue's face, I would have cut him into pieces!" Cong Jie said gritting his teeth.
"Doctor Gu? What did he do to make Sister Cong Ning angry?"
"You also know my sister's previous experience. The man was not a good guy. He caused her physical and mental persecution. She looks normal on the surface, but sometimes at night I can hear her crying in her bed. Today, the man's words made her feel uncomfortable for a long time. She is not suitable to be close to men yet."
Mu Wanwan lowered her head. "I didn't think it through. You're right. I thought Dr. Gu was a doctor after all. Building a good relationship with Sister Cong Ning would also help with her treatment in the future. I didn't think about the relationship between a man and a woman. I will arrange someone else later."
Looking at Mu Wanwan's aggrieved expression, Cong Jie waved his hand casually and said, "Alright, alright. I know you mean well, but Sister still needs some time to recover."
Facing Mu Wanwan, he really couldn't get angry.
After hearing all this, Gu Zhiyu suddenly had an idea, "I really deserve to die. What did I just say?"
He was so self-centered, didn't consider other people's thoughts, and hurt someone who was trying to help him.
Gu Zhiyu wanted to apologize, but he didn't know where Cong Ning lived, so he could only follow Cong Jie silently. When he was almost at Cong Jie's place, he already realized that there was someone following him.
It's just that Taoyuan Village has always been safe, and no one has ever done such a thing as tracking. Cong Jie naturally didn't suspect that it was a bad guy. Until he saw Gu Zhiyu's appearance under the dim light, his face suddenly darkened, "What are you doing here?"
"What I said just now was indeed inconsiderate and made your sister angry, but that was not what I meant. I want to say sorry to her."
Cong Jie snorted coldly, "It's too late."
Cong Ning came out from behind him, pushing a wheelchair. "Dr. Gu, thank you. I'm not angry. You're telling the truth. I was the wrong person before."
For some reason, Gu Zhiyu felt that her forced smile was a bit heartbreaking. "That's not what I meant. Everyone has met a few bad men. You will meet a better man in the future."
"I won't have another man." She said this calmly, and looked at Congjie again, "Ajie, let's go back!"
Gu Zhiyu felt that he was making things worse and worse, and his heart ached, but he didn't know how to explain it.
Perhaps, only when he feels the same way, can he know what Cong Ning is thinking.
On the second day, he was taken to the laboratory, and Sheng Xingyuan took the initiative to talk to him about what happened yesterday, "As a thank you, I will tell you everything you want to know."
Gu Zhiyu was a little absent-minded, "Really?"
He discussed with Sheng Xingyuan a research that he had been very interested in. After listening to the other party's talk, he suddenly realized something and the sad mood in his heart finally dissipated a little.
"Shi Yan, he's awake and recovering well." Sheng Xingyuan suddenly said, "I'm sorry you've been kept here for several days. I'll arrange for someone to take you back soon."
"Hey, wait a minute... I think I want to stay here for a few more days. The thing Qin Muxue promised me before has not been done yet, so I don't want to leave for the time being." He found an excuse and wanted to stay here for a few more days.
"In that case, you can tell her your wish at any time. As long as it's not too much, she should agree to it. I heard that you have accumulated a lot of points and supplies in the main base before? If you need supplies, Qin Muxue has plenty. Just ask her, it's no problem."
Gu Zhiyu pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed. Living here, it seemed that these things were no longer so important.
Qin Muxue was feeding Shi Yan preserved egg and lean meat porridge. "How is it? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, but it's not enough to offset your mistake of lying to me. Why did you return to Blue Star without telling me? Do you know that this is very dangerous?"
"I know, but it's not that nothing is wrong now. Not only am I fine, I also brought a doctor to cure you." Qin Muxue said with a grin, "I am very important to you, and you are equally important to me. If I hadn't brought him here in time, you would have died. Do you want me to be a widow at such a young age? Being a widow is not bad either. This way, I can find another handsome guy, or a few more handsome guys."
Shi Yan panicked, "You dare?"
"Why shouldn't I?"
"I'm not dead yet! You are not allowed to find another man."
Qin Muxue was just trying to scare him, but she didn't expect Shi Yan to react so strongly.
"I'm fine now, and I will live well and stay with you for a long time!" Shi Yan held Qin Muxue's hand tightly.
