"Ah Xi, am I having a last gasp of energy and am I going to die?" General Zhou felt very regretful. If he had known that he didn't have much time left to live, he should have brought Zhixin and his family home to live. It would be worth it for him to enjoy a few days of being surrounded by his children and grandchildren before he died!
"Master, are you awake? Okay, now you should wash yourself clean first. I'm dying of suffocation." Seeing the bright eyes of General Zhou, Zhou Xi quickly threw the towel in his hand at General Zhou, ran out of the bathroom, and gasped for breath at the door.
Oh my goodness! It stinks! I didn't expect the master to have so many toxins in his body. He's almost suffocating.
Seeing Zhou Xi's unceremonious behavior, General Zhou finally felt relieved. Hahahaha... Is he okay? You know, Zhou Xi is really worried about his health. If there was something wrong, Zhou Xi would definitely be in tears and would not have the leisure to scold him.
Zhou Xi ignored General Zhou in the bathroom. His heart was full of confusion.
Before leaving, Zhou Yuanyuan had said that once the toxins in General Zhou's body were eliminated, he would look much younger. Sure enough, as Zhou Xi was wiping the general's body, he noticed that his skin was no longer dry and had regained its elasticity. His hair had also turned from gray back to black. In just an hour or so, the general's health had undergone a complete transformation. Zhou Xi didn't know how to explain it to the general. It was incredibly strange, wasn't it?
Oh my! The little lady is really naughty. If she had stayed and explained to the general, I wouldn't have to rack my brains to find an excuse now!
Zhou Xi remembered that Zhou Yuanyuan had told him not to tell her secret before she left, and he couldn't help but frown.
Wen Ziqing carried Zhou Yuanyuan on his back, with a shouting Zhou Jiasheng chasing after him. After chasing and fighting for less than three minutes, they ran up to the third floor.
Zhao Qingshan's house is the first one at the entrance of the stairs on the third floor. Just turn left after going up the stairs.
At Zhao Qingshan's door, a hunched figure peered down the stairs. A few figures, clamoring and fighting, soon approached. The man, startled, took a step back, his back colliding with the wooden door. There was a dull thud.
Zhou Yuanyuan and the others were startled by the sudden collision and their laughter stopped.
It was past six in the evening, and darkness had already fallen. Zhao Qingshan's dormitory was a small, three-bedroom apartment with four rooms per floor. Only a small skylight let in a little light from outside, and they didn't know if it was a broken bulb or a power outage; they pressed the buttons on their way up, but there was no response.
Seeing the dark figure at the door of Zhao Qingshan's house, Wen Ziqing grabbed Zhou Jiasheng and dragged him behind him, staring vigilantly at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of them.
Yes, this is a woman. Although she is wearing a gray dress, Wen Ziqing can vaguely see that the woman's gray hair is below her shoulders and tied into a bun hanging behind her head.
"Who?" Wen Ziqing asked calmly.
"I...I'm going to see Doctor Zhao for treatment." The woman was frightened by Wen Ziqing's aura and couldn't help but shrank back, looking a little pitiful.
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the stairwell light came on. Under the light, one could see that the woman's face was very old, covered in dense wrinkles, her eyes were lifeless, and her whole person was filled with a gloomy aura. Strangely, the woman had a clear voice, which was very inconsistent with her old appearance.
"Go to the hospital tomorrow morning to register for the appointment," Wen Ziqing said unhappily. Today was the little girl's birthday, and he had gone out to buy some food after school. He then went out again when he remembered he hadn't bought a gift. Wen Ziqing was thinking about what kind of food he would cook for the little girl's birthday. The sudden appearance of this woman had obviously disrupted Wen Ziqing's plans.
In this era, only close friends would visit at night. A strange woman visiting Zhao Qingshan at this time seemed strange no matter how you looked at it. Zhao Qingshan was a bachelor, and without a mistress at home, it was not convenient to let a woman in at night. Rumors in this era could kill.
The woman seemed to know she had come at the wrong time, but she had only just learned that afternoon that the best doctor at Renhe Hospital was Dr. Zhao, not Dr. Liu. Honestly, she really didn't want to die, and as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she wanted to try.
Zhou Yuanyuan poked her head out from Wen Ziqing's back and looked at the woman in front of her. She felt that she looked familiar. Where had she seen this woman before?
The woman waited for half a minute but still didn't see Zhao Qingshan. She couldn't help but lower her head in disappointment. The blow of her back hitting the door, although not hard, hurt the woman. She felt like a piece of fragile tofu that could fall apart at any time. Since this morning, the woman felt that her vitality was rapidly draining away. Perhaps before tonight, she would...
"Why are you guys standing at the door instead of going in?" Zhao Qingshan was walking slowly behind them and finally climbed up the stairs. Seeing the three children standing in front of their door without moving, he couldn't help but ask curiously. Wen Ziqing and the others all had the keys to Zhao Qingshan's house, so standing in front of the door instead of going in was not like what the children usually did.
"Doctor Zhao, please, save me!" The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhao Qingshan. She choked and slowly knelt on the ground, right in front of Zhao Qingshan's house.
A few minutes later, the woman was sitting in Zhao Qingshan's living room. Unable to let her in, she blocked the doorway, preventing anyone from entering. The woman looked like she was about to die, and Wen Ziqing didn't dare to drag her away.
In just half a minute, the noise at Zhao Qingshan's doorstep had already caused the neighbors next door to open the door and come out to see what was going on. Zhao Qingshan didn't want to be watched, so he had to compromise for the time being.
After entering the house, Wen Ziqing dragged Zhou Jiasheng to cook. As for Zhou Yuanyuan, he was driven out of the kitchen. Wen Ziqing said that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't need to help today and just wait for dinner. He wanted to give her a surprise today.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn’t understand what Wen Ziqing was up to, but she didn’t take it to heart. After all, the results would come out soon, and she would know everything, right?
Zhou Yuanyuan sat on a small stool by the kitchen door, pretentiously holding a picture book in her hand, but her eyes were watching the woman, waiting to see what she was up to. To be honest, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't like the woman's behavior. If she wanted to seek medical treatment, she could go to the hospital openly during the day. Going to someone's house and refusing to leave in the middle of the night was not a decent thing to do.
