Chapter 465 Dead
"Su Nanzhi, this is your son Qin Xiaofeng, your most beloved son!"
Looking at the disappearing backs of Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou, Zhao Xue let out a shrill cry.
How could Su Nanzhi live so happily? She wouldn't allow it.
When the village chief of Zhaojia Village heard her incoherent words, he became even more certain that Zhao Xue was really crazy.
If someone else said this, he might believe it a little.
But when Zhao Xue gave birth, half of the village heard it.
Seeing that Zhao Xue was still trying to struggle, the village chief raised his hand and slapped her several times in the face with some impatience.
"Zhao Xue, don't go crazy."
"Were you trying to blackmail me just now? I want you to bring shame to our Zhao Village."
…
The head of Zhaojia Village was a wife-beater at home, so he naturally showed no mercy to the lunatic Zhao Xue. He beat her until she lost several teeth and became speechless, and then he let go of her hand.
Zhao Xue had been insane since her rebirth due to the huge blow she had suffered, and after being beaten by the village chief, her mind became even more confused.
But she didn't dare to move anymore. She just curled up on the ground, muttering to herself.
"Qin Xiaofeng is dead. He was killed by Su Nanzhi."
"Everyone is dead, I want to live."
…
Gu Xizhou ran to Xu's house carrying Su Nanzhi on his back.
Xu's family is not far from Zhaojia Village, but it still takes about 20 minutes to walk there.
Gu Xizhou ran there in more than ten minutes carrying someone on his back.
Mr. Xu hadn't gone to work yet and was sitting in the main room with Grandma Xu, resting.
He was also startled by Gu Xizhou who suddenly ran in.
"Mr. Xu, Nanzhi is feeling a little unwell. Please go and check on her."
Gu Xizhou carefully placed Su Nanzhi on a chair beside him, and before Mr. Xu could speak, he couldn't wait to speak.
Su Nanzhi's complexion looked much better than before, but there was still some sweat on her forehead.
Seeing Gu Xizhou's serious face, she immediately said softly: "Xizhou, I'm fine, I was just scared by Zhao Xue just now."
Normally, she wouldn't be so timid, but maybe because of her pregnancy or because there was a dead baby on the roadside, she was frightened by the sudden appearance of Zhao Xue.
Old Master Xu had already taken Su Nanzhi's pulse. He withdrew his hand and looked at Su Nanzhi with a serious expression.
"You're pregnant, why don't you be careful?"
Su Nanzhi stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, but she had made up her mind to stay away from Zhao Xue next time she saw her.
Every time she met her, nothing good happened. She was not afraid of Zhao Xue before, but now she dared not take the risk with her body.
After Mr. Xu taught Su Nanzhi a lesson, he did not leave out Gu Xizhou.
"And you, you were so startled, I thought something big had happened."
Hearing what Mr. Xu said, Gu Xizhou was not angry and nodded immediately.
After repeatedly confirming with Mr. Xu that Su Nanzhi was fine, he forcibly carried Su Nanzhi back to the family compound.
As soon as the two left Xu's house, Su Nanzhi couldn't help but speak.
"Is that child Zhao Xue's?"
Gu Xizhou's body stiffened and he nodded.
When Su Nanzhi heard this expected answer, she still couldn't hide the shock on her face.
"Wasn't the child fine just now?"
Although she didn't see the child's face clearly when she first met Zhao Xue, she could tell from the flapping of the child's limbs that the child was fine.
In less than an hour, the child died.
No matter how cold-blooded Su Nanzhi was, he couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life.
What's more, Su Nanzhi was pregnant at the moment, and she couldn't help rubbing her face against Gu Xizhou's back.
"Our children will definitely be healthy."
Gu Xizhou had a complicated expression, but he just said "hmm" heavily.
Su Nanzhi was standing far away and didn't see the child, but he saw it clearly.
The child was tortured so much by Zhao Xue, but he was still able to live to this age. He must have been very lucky.
But I won’t tell Nanzhi about this, for fear of scaring her.
Fortunately, Su Nanzhi did not delve into the matter.
In fact, even if Gu Xizhou didn't say it, Su Nanzhi could tell from Zhao Xue's mental state just now that Zhao Xue was not good to the child.
In her previous life, Zhao Xue used her own daughter more than showing affection to her, not to mention this child who is now a burden.
Su Nanzhi could tell with her toes that Zhao Xue would not be good to the child, but she did not expect that the child would die shortly after birth.
After sighing in her heart, Su Nanzhi stopped thinking about it.
Gu Xizhou felt the even breathing coming from his ear, and his heart softened a little.
The two of them were walking on the way back to their family compound. Passersby looked at them from time to time, but they didn't pay much attention.
Gu Xizhou simply didn't care, but Su Nanzhi was really a little tired.
After walking for a few minutes, Gu Xizhou suddenly spoke.
"After I send you home, I'll go back to Zhaojia Village."
Although he left in a hurry just now, Gu Xizhou seemed to vaguely hear something like "son".
In addition, someone died, and as the first person to discover it, he also needs to cooperate with the investigation.
Su Nanzhi nodded, then realized that Gu Xizhou couldn't hear her, so she spoke.
"Okay, how about you put me down now and let me go back to the family compound by myself."
Although she could ignore the gazes of strangers, she really couldn't let Gu Xizhou carry her into the family compound.
She could imagine what the aunties and sisters-in-law in the family compound would say behind her back.
But Gu Xizhou pretended not to hear her words and didn't even stop.
"Gu Xizhou, put me down. I can walk by myself."
Su Nanzhi felt that the aloof Gu Xizhou was gone forever, and the current Gu Xizhou was even thicker-skinned than a city wall.
"No, I'm worried."
In addition to worrying about Su Nanzhi's health, Gu Xizhou couldn't help but think of the dead baby he had just seen, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of fear in his heart.
"Mr. Xu just said that we have to be careful for the first three months."
Thinking of what the gossipy aunties in the family compound might say later, Su Nanzhi struggled even harder.
However, the hand that Gu Xizhou held on her thigh was like steel, and she couldn't struggle free at all. In the end, she simply stopped struggling and buried her head in Gu Xizhou's back, like a turtle hiding in its shell.
"Then you can explain it to those aunties and sisters-in-law yourself."
Gu Xizhou noticed that Su Nanzhi had stopped struggling and quickened his pace.
"They won't tell."
Su Nanzhi didn't believe it at all, but she couldn't persuade Gu Xizhou, so she could only curl up on his back and remain silent.
Anyway, she knows nothing, and it will be Gu Xizhou who will be embarrassed.
"Captain Gu, what happened to Xiao Su?"
Soon, the gossiping voices of the aunties could be heard around. Su Nanzhi's body stiffened, and she couldn't help but tighten her arms around Gu Xizhou.
A smile flashed across Gu Xizhou's eyes, and he nodded slightly to the aunties and sisters-in-law who were gossiping.
"I twisted my ankle while going out."
After saying that, without waiting for the aunts to speak, he carried Su Nanzhi on his back and walked towards home.
