Chapter 37 Shocking News
Zhou Ye's heart skipped a beat for a moment.
However, she quickly regained her composure and made sure that others didn't see her panic.
"Hehe... That's good. I'm young and there are many things I don't understand, so please give me some pointers if I do anything wrong in the future."
"No problem, no problem! You're all good kids. With you here, Hongqi Village will finally have a village doctor."
You don't know, at the beginning of the year, there was a person who just had a cold, but unfortunately we didn't have a doctor, and he died from the fever!
Why……
Although she...
Sigh... this old man is also heartbroken!
"Huh? Can't we go to the hospital?"
For some reason, Zhou felt that the person the village chief was talking about was related to him, but that didn't make sense. In his memories of his previous life, his grandparents passed away at the end of the year, and his parents even later, until next year, so it couldn't be them.
"Sigh... because of her special status, she can't go to the hospital, so..."
"Cough cough..." Wang Guihua, the village chief's wife, suddenly coughed a few times, reminding the village chief, who then stopped talking.
The village chief took a swig of his drink, sighed deeply, and then smiled as he spoke to Zhou Ye.
Zhou also felt that the village chief must be hiding something.
After finishing their meal, Zhou Ye and Su Yunzhou walked back together slowly.
They walked in silence until Su Yunzhou said softly, "Thank you!"
Zhou also came to his senses and smiled, "It was just a small thing, and besides, didn't you thank me? Even though we ate at the village chief's house."
I know you paid for it, right?
After all, everyone is strapped for cash these days, so why would anyone buy a table full of meat?
"You're very smart!"
Su Yunzhou smiled and said, seemingly implying something.
Zhou smiled but didn't say anything.
When they saw the educated youth settlement in the distance, Su Yunzhou said, "I want to take a walk around the village. Can you come with me?"
You know my condition.
I'm afraid that if I faint, no one will even know.
"OK!"
Although single men and women walking together might lead to misunderstandings, Zhou didn't care about that.
After all, my job in the future will be treating patients, so I'll inevitably be alone with them.
It's good to let everyone get used to it in advance.
Su Yunzhou didn't walk very fast. He slowly walked to the edge of the field and pointed to it, introducing it to Zhou Ye: "Zhou Zhiqing, look, this is our village's land."
The grains ripen in June and July!
Everyone gets very busy during harvest time!
"You don't get out of bed, but you seem to know it very well!" Zhou Ye joked.
"Hehe... My body is in a lot of trouble, but I want to be like everyone else and go out to work in the fields!"
This makes me feel useful!
Zhou smiled and said, "How could it be useless?"
Isn't he the God of Wealth now? He gives Bai Xue a hundred yuan a month, and Bai Xue would love to cook chicken for Su Yunzhou every day.
"Shall we walk that way?"
Su Yunzhou pointed in a direction.
"good!"
As they walked, Zhou seemed to vaguely see the cowshed.
They stopped in their tracks, surprised.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Ye looked at Su Yunzhou in confusion: "Where are you taking me?"
Su Yunzhou smiled faintly and said, "Hehe... Actually, I wanted to show you around the village, and we can walk through every corner."
Your medicine is very effective. After just one dose, I feel like I can walk to the county town.
Could this be a final burst of energy before death?
Zhou was also wary of this, and quickly said, "Pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? I said your illness can be cured, and it can be cured!"
I guarantee I'll cure you.
Su Yunzhou laughed even more heartily.
"Since I'm alright, why don't you walk around with me a bit more? Get familiar with the area; you'll need to go to the foot of the mountain to gather herbs later, and you might get lost if you're not familiar with it!"
Zhou Ye thought about it and agreed!
So we kept going!
Throughout the journey, whenever Zhou Ye glanced at him, Su Yunzhou would try his best to explain.
As they walked, they ended up right in front of the cowshed.
Su Yunzhou didn't stop: "This is a cowshed. Right now, it's only used for raising cattle and pigs. When I came here, it was during the New Year, and there were still people here!"
"Who is it? A bad guy?"
Zhou asked deliberately.
"Heh... As for whether they are good or bad people, I don't know! But in this world, where are there absolutely good people and absolutely bad people?"
only……
"Now that they're gone, it's finally peaceful!"
Zhou Ye's mind went blank. What did he mean by "left"?
As Su Yunzhou walked, he said, "Right now, there's only an old man from the village cleaning up cow and pig dung."
However, I advise you not to look over out of curiosity.
That old man looks terrifying!
"Is she disfigured?"
Zhou also asked.
This time it was Su Yunzhou's turn to be surprised: "You've seen it before?"
"Yes, he was the one who picked us up when we arrived yesterday. He didn't talk much!"
Su Yunzhou asked in surprise, "The village chief actually sent him to pick you up? Isn't he afraid you'll run away?"
Zhou Ye smiled.
"What do you mean by 'they left'?"
Although Zhou Ye knew that asking this question might cause trouble, he still asked it anyway.
Su Yunzhou sighed: "I wasn't there to see the details. It was freezing cold back then, and there wasn't much food in the village, let alone intellectuals who were being reformed."
I only heard that the elderly couple, one of them went up the mountain to look for food, and fell down the mountain last winter. When they were found, only their bones and belongings were found!
"Another elderly person caught a cold at the beginning of the year, but the village didn't dare to help them and there was no medicine available."
I heard that the person got delirious from the fever and died just like that!
The village chief thought it was unlucky and forbade anyone to talk about it.
"I'm telling you this, just keep it to yourself! If anyone brings this up again, don't reply. It'll only cause trouble."
"Okay!" Zhou replied mechanically.
An elderly couple? Are they grandparents? But where are Mom and Dad?
If they were here, they would definitely not ignore it. Grandpa is so old, how could Dad let Grandpa go up the mountain to find food in the dead of winter?
Grandpa and Grandma are dead, but what about Mom and Dad?
That's not true, that's not it!
If they're all dead, what's the point of me going to the countryside? Is it just for revenge?
No, I don't want revenge, I just want them to live!
At this moment, Zhou Ye's face was pale, and a heart-wrenching pain flashed in her eyes. In that instant, she didn't know what to do.
Zhou knew that she couldn't let anyone see her unease while she was outside, but at that moment, she was unable to move!
Maybe...maybe it wasn't my grandparents?
My family consists of four people, but there are only two here!
Zhou Ye still harbored some expectations!
"How are you?"
Beside her was Su Yunzhou's worried face.
Zhou forced a faint smile and said softly, "Let's go back! This place is unlucky; I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable!"
"Alright! But it is indeed unlucky. I heard that the old couple also seem to have the surname Zhou! You share the same surname."
Same surname as...?
