Zhou Xi is not at home?
After Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual sense swept around the house, her heart couldn't help but sink.
Ever since General Zhou often fell into a coma, Zhou Xi simply submitted a report and resigned from his position as captain of the special operations team. He stayed at home to take care of General Zhou and was reluctant to leave.
In the past, only when Zhou Yuanyuan returned home would Zhou Xi come out of General Zhou's room and report to Zhou Yuanyuan such trivial matters as how many hours General Zhou slept throughout the day and how much he ate for each meal.
There was no trace of Zhou Xi in General Zhou's house at the moment. It seemed that Zhou Xi had been gone for a long time.
Maybe, he really went to do something for He Jingjing?
Was He Jingjing's admission more important to Zhou Xi than General Zhou? Zhou Yuanyuan frowned, thinking about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out why Zhou Xi looked at He Jingjing differently. It was obvious that when He Shumin plotted against General Zhou, Zhou Xi was filled with disgust towards the He family.
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
There is always a way out when you reach the mountain. When the time comes, the truth about Zhou Xi and He Jingjing will come out.
Anyway, Zhou Xi is loyal to General Zhou and will definitely not do anything that is detrimental to General Zhou or the Zhou family.
Zhou Yuanyuan walked upstairs quietly and took a look at General Zhou's room. Sure enough, General Zhou was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
When General Zhou was in good health, his nap time would not exceed half an hour. As his health deteriorated, his nap time gradually lengthened.
By last week, General Zhou's nap had lasted four and a half hours.
Zhou Yuanyuan checked her watch. "Hmm, General Zhou should wake up in fifteen minutes."
Zhou Yuanyuan stretched out her right hand and gently placed it on General Zhou's pulse. General Zhou's pulse was thin and intermittent. It was obvious that Zhou Yuanyuan had not been home for a few days, and General Zhou's vitality had weakened a little.
"Is it Xiaoguai?" General Zhou, half asleep and half awake, felt the breath of Zhou Yuanyuan and asked vaguely.
"Yes, great-grandfather, it's me." Zhou Yuanyuan suppressed the sadness in her heart, put General Zhou's hand under the quilt, and gently tucked the corner of the quilt for General Zhou.
"In a moment..." General Zhou mumbled a few words and fell into deep sleep again.
Zhou Yuanyuan sat on the stool in front of the bed, looking at General Zhou's thin face, feeling very sad.
If no miracle happens, General Zhou will only have three months to live.
The once high-spirited Mr. Zhou had become a skinny old man with a stumbling gait. Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't accept it.
When Zhou Yuanyuan first met General Zhou, he was poisoned and lying in bed. Although General Zhou was dying at that time, he was not as thin as he is now, which made Zhou Yuanyuan sad.
Although birth, old age, sickness and death are common occurrences in the world, Zhou Yuanyuan really couldn't bear to see General Zhou die.
Can the green tree in her sea of consciousness save General Zhou's life?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but call Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu."
"Master, what's the matter?" Xiaoyu heard Zhou Yuanyuan's call and quickly interrupted her practice.
"Xiaoyu, is there still no way to get the juice from the green tree?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked.
According to Xiaoyu, the emerald tree in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness bears an 80% resemblance to the legendary Tree of Life. Every once in a while, a drop of green sap oozes from its leaves, which Zhou Yuanyuan calls "life fluid."
Every time the green tree began to ooze life fluid, Xiaoyu would collect it in a jade bottle. Before Zhou Yuanyuan reached the Spiritual Transformation stage, Xiaoyu had already collected nearly half a bottle of "life fluid."
These "life fluids" had an extremely powerful nourishing effect on Zhou Yuanyuan's consciousness. When Zhou Yuanyuan advanced to the Spiritual Transformation stage, it was these "life fluids" that rapidly strengthened her consciousness, achieving an effect that matched her physical body.
Otherwise, Zhou Yuanyuan’s last promotion would not have been so smooth.
Zhou Yuanyuan thought that "life liquid" was a good thing, and she wanted to give it to General Zhou.
Unfortunately, for some reason, as soon as the "life fluid" left Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness, it would transform into spiritual energy and return to her body. Even if it was contained in a jade bottle, it would be useless.
Because of this, Zhou Yuanyuan asked Xiaoyu to think of a way to refine the "life liquid" into a pill and bring it outside for General Zhou to take.
"Master, it won't work. Xiaoyu tried it, but Xiaoshu didn't want to." Xiaoyu was a little frustrated.
The "Life Fluid" produced by the Green Tree was not only in small quantities, but also restricted to Xiaoyu, not even Zhou Yuanyuan. The Green Tree had its own ideas. Seeing Xiaoyu trying to use the "Life Fluid" to refine an elixir, it immediately took the "Life Fluid" back from the Green Tree before Xiaoyu's elixir was even finished.
Xiaoyu failed every time she practiced, and was just about to talk to Zhou Yuanyuan about the scarcity of "life fluid", so she decided not to waste this natural treasure.
After hearing what Xiaoyu said, Zhou Yuanyuan flashed and came to the sea of consciousness.
On the island, the green trees seemed to sense Zhou Yuanyuan's arrival and shook their branches, causing a few leaves to rustle.
Zhou Yuanyuan walked to the small tree, and the small tree lowered a branch and rubbed it in the palm of Zhou Yuanyuan's hand.
"Little Tree, I want to save Grandpa Great. Can you give a drop of your life fluid to my Grandpa Great?" Zhou Yuanyuan touched the branches of the little tree with her hand and said softly.
Hearing what Zhou Yuanyuan said, the branches of the small tree retracted with a "whoosh".
"No?" Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned.
The little tree didn't move, as if it didn't hear what Zhou Yuanyuan said.
"Xiaoshu, my great-grandfather was a great hero who served his country and his people, but his own life was too hard. It was not easy for him to live a comfortable life for a few years. Xiaoshu, I don't want my great-grandfather to die." Zhou Yuanyuan leaned her head on the green tree with tears in her eyes.
The juice of the green tree is Zhou Yuanyuan's last hope.
After a long time, the small tree lowered a branch and gently stroked Zhou Yuanyuan's head, as if to comfort her.
"Xiaoshu, you agreed?" Zhou Yuanyuan raised her head in surprise.
The branches of the small tree bounced back to their original positions with a whoosh.
Obviously, Xiaoshu disagreed.
Zhou Yuanyuan was a little frustrated. She sat down under the small tree, hugged her knees with her hands, and talked to the small tree in a nagging manner: "Little tree, can you tell me why? Is the life fluid not suitable for my great-grandfather? Or are you unwilling to give it to others? I really hope you grow up quickly and can talk to me, so I don’t have to guess! Little tree, I remember you could talk last time! Why don’t you tell me why?..."
"No······."
A thin voice sounded.
"Xiaoshu, are you talking?" Zhou Yuanyuan was surprised and happy.
"No...can't." This time, Xiaoshu's voice was clearer, but it was only two words.
