Zhou Yuanyuan remembered that in her previous life, General Zhou seemed to have passed away in the past two years.
When General Zhou died, the nation mourned. At that time, Zhou Yuanyuan never dreamed of any connection between her family and General Zhou. Zhou Jinyu and Zhou Zhixin, a high-ranking general and a rural boy from a remote mountainous area, no one would have suspected any connection, despite their similar appearances.
Monks have a mysterious connection to their closest relatives. The moment she saw General Zhou, Zhou Yuanyuan was certain he was her father's long-lost relative. Seeing Zhou Xi, looking anxious, she also vaguely guessed why he had been visiting their home so frequently over the past six months. However, knowing they were family members but not recognizing them, Zhou Yuanyuan wondered what General Zhou was up to.
"Sister, I'll take you to the garden. There are so many beautiful flowers in the old man's house! By the way, have you ever seen green flowers? Today is the first time I've seen green flowers. Sister, don't you think it's strange?" Zhou Jiasheng saw Zhou Yuanyuan and rushed over, holding his sister's hand with one hand.
I don't know what happened, the old man just fell asleep while talking to him, which scared Zhou Jiasheng. Fortunately, Grandpa Zhou Xi was there. He looked at the old man and said he was fine. Otherwise, Zhou Jiasheng would have wanted to cry. The old man looked fine yesterday, why did he suddenly become so sick today?
General Zhou was in a coma, and Zhou Xi's face didn't look very good either. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.
Zhou Jiasheng was a sensitive child. Seeing Zhou Xi's heavy face, he felt a little uneasy.
Seeing his familiar family, Zhou Jiasheng felt very close and immediately rushed over to hold his sister's hand. The atmosphere in the house was not good, and Zhou Jiasheng was worried that his sister would be scared, so he wanted to take her out to play. When he first entered General Zhou's house, Zhou Jiasheng saw many flowers planted in the yard, blooming beautifully.
Looking at Zhou Jiasheng smiling cheerfully at her, Zhou Yuanyuan felt even more upset. This General Zhou was truly interesting. On the one hand, he was hiding this from Zhou Zhixin and not recognizing him, while on the other hand, he was trying to coax this "silly" brother of hers into getting close to him. What exactly was he trying to do?
Zhou Yuanyuan's doubts were soon resolved. Zhou Jiasheng dragged Zhou Yuanyuan to the courtyard and murmured to his sister about his relationship with the "old man." He also told her that he had recommended his grandfather to treat the "old man." Finally, Zhou Jiasheng boasted, "Sister, am I smart? Grandpa is so amazing, he will definitely be able to cure the old man's illness."
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh after hearing Zhou Jiasheng's words. Fate is truly indescribable. After Zhou Yuanyuan broke Zhou Zhixin's impasse, the fate of Zhou Zhixin's family had already begun to take a different turn. In their previous life, General Zhou and Zhou Zhixin had remained unaware of each other's existence until their deaths. Now, was this General Zhou's turn for the better? Or was it Zhou Zhixin's turn for the better?
Perhaps it was all fate. General Zhou and Zhou Jiasheng's acquaintance was perhaps General Zhou's only chance of survival. If Zhou Jiasheng hadn't recommended Zhao Qingshan to General Zhou today, Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't have come along. In seven days, this revered general would have passed away.
"Brother, let's go back! I have something to say to grandpa." After Zhou Yuanyuan walked around General Zhou's garden, she took Zhou Jiasheng's hand and returned to General Zhou's bedroom.
At this time, Zhao Qingshan was taking General Zhou's pulse. His brows were furrowed and his heart was sinking.
General Zhou's pulse showed that he was not ill at all, but had been poisoned. As for what the poison was, Zhao Qingshan could not tell.
"Xiaojiu, come and take a look at what's going on." Zhao Qingshan was just about to ask someone to find Zhou Yuanyuan, but when he saw her coming back, he quickly stood up and gave up the seat next to him. Zhao Qingshan had great admiration for General Zhou, and seeing that the former god of war was on the verge of death, Zhao Qingshan felt very uncomfortable. He hoped that with Zhou Yuanyuan's ability, she could help this beloved general.
Under Zhou Xi's astonished gaze, Zhou Yuanyuan calmly walked to Zhao Qingshan's side, gently placed two fingers on General Zhou's pulse, and immediately came to a conclusion: "Grandpa, it's the mixed herbs that killed it."
Zhou Yuanyuan's voice was not loud, but to Zhou Xi's ears it sounded no less like thunder.
Zhou Xi is not an ordinary person, so he naturally understands what the mixed herbal killing agent means. Is the general not sick but poisoned?
During the days when Taoist Baopu was teaching Zhou Xi, he had mentioned the "Mixed Herbal Killer," a deadly weapon that was difficult to defend against. Taoist Baopu said that in ancient times, Taoists would use the principles of plant mutualism and mutual restraint to create such a deadly weapon as the "Mixed Herbal Killer."
There are many different types of mixed herbs, some of which can drive people mad without them realizing it, while others can kill them without them even realizing it. The most amazing thing is that these herbs are completely harmless when placed alone. Only when the fragrance or juice of two or more herbs is mixed together will they produce a "killing" effect. Even fellow cultivators will inevitably be affected.
Zhou Xi remembered clearly that when Taoist Baopu mentioned "Mixed Plants and Woods Killing," his face showed more yearning than fear. Taoist Baopu said that in today's world, many Xuanmen traditions have been broken. Even a sect as prestigious as their Yushan Sect, once so ancient, has fallen into decline.
But Zhou Yuanyuan was just a little girl, how could she know so much? Seeing her calm demeanor, she spoke of something as dreadful as a bowl of porridge or soy milk this morning. Could it be that... she was a member of the Xuanmen sect? Did she have a way to save the general?
Zhou Xi's mind raced, and suddenly, the familiar look of Zhou Yuanyuan reminded him of that afternoon in Sanhe Town. He had followed Zhou Zhixin, only to be quietly knocked unconscious in a small alley. He had also seen Zhou Yuanyuan before that. Back then, while her features weren't as delicate as they are now, and she was slightly shorter, her facial features remained largely unchanged.
Could it be that... the girl who knocked him unconscious that day was this little girl in front of him? Could it be that the most unfathomable person in the Zhao family is this little girl in front of him? Zhou Xi was shocked by his own guess, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"Butler Zhou, this is my granddaughter Zhou Yuanyuan. Don't worry, my granddaughter has some real skills, and her medical skills are even better than mine." Zhao Qingshan saw Zhou Xi stunned, and thought that he was worried about Zhou Yuanyuan, a little girl, treating the general, so he hurriedly said a few good words for Zhou Yuanyuan.
