Chapter 89 This looks like someone came to kill!
With a muffled thud, the sound of the thrown brick broke Aunt Guihua's drifting thoughts. She shook her head, as if trying to shake these unrealistic thoughts out of her mind.
"Zhou Zhiqing, what are you cooking?"
Aunt Guihua rubbed her hands together and asked politely.
"Auntie, I've brought all the vegetables and meat. You can decide what to cook! I trust your cooking skills! This is for one meal, so you can decide how to make it!"
"Huh? This is for one meal?"
Aunt Guihua's eyes widened, and her voice rose several decibels.
"Yes, Bai Xue and I will come over for dinner later. You and Auntie can eat here!"
Aunt Guihua was even more excited. This good news was like a spring breeze blowing through her heart, and she was overjoyed.
“Alright, let’s make a big stew noodle soup. It’s convenient, quick, and delicious! Look at this pork belly, the fat and lean meat are just right, let’s put it in the soup… tsk…” As she said this, Aunt Guihua couldn’t help but smack her lips, as if she could already smell the aroma.
Finally, everyone can enjoy a good meal!
Zhou smiled and let Aunt Guihua do as she pleased!
When breakfast was ready, Zhou Ye had just finished changing Bai Xue's dressing and told her to rest first while he went to the backyard to get the food.
Although breakfast came a little late, everyone had been doing hard labor, so while waiting in line, some people were really looking forward to it.
Seeing Zhou Ye arrive, the group of grown men actually felt a little shy.
Aunt Guihua served everyone a large bowl, and as they ate and drank, they felt endless satisfaction.
Su Yunzhou came out of the house and met Zhou Ye's gaze.
Zhou Ye pretended to look away, while Su Yunzhou seemed to be smiling. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the ingredients Su Yunzhou was carrying.
There are medicinal herbs involved; it seems to be a medicinal cuisine.
Oh……
I thought that eating with me meant I was getting a better meal, but it seems I was still mistreated.
"Zhou Ye, shall we have a chat?" Su Yunzhou smiled, appearing gentle and refined, but a dog that bites never barks unnecessarily!
Zhou Ye will never trust Su Yunzhou again!
"Feel sorry!"
A two-word refusal—very decisive!
Su Yunzhou smiled helplessly, as if Zhou had done something really outrageous. Aunt Guihua and the others didn't know what had happened, so they exchanged glances and didn't dare to look around!
If it's none of your business, don't pry!
After eating and drinking their fill, the workers began to work hard to build the houses. Zhou, the mud brick maker, gave the village chief Xie Youfu a total of ten yuan, enough to build two houses!
After tidying everything up, he told Bai Xue that he was going to the county town to buy ingredients, and then headed straight down the mountain.
During this time, in order to prevent anyone from following him, he repeatedly sought opportunities to enter the space!
Along the way, they even collected quite a few medicinal herbs...
The journey went smoothly this time. When they arrived at the cave entrance, Zhou carefully looked around and realized that there was no one in the cave. Only then did he walk in lightly!
The cave was kept very clean; the people of Hongqi Village are quite well-mannered and know how to maintain their own space.
We found the cave that others had mentioned, and it was indeed shaped like the Chinese character "人" (ren, meaning person). We didn't know which way to go, and there were no signs.
Zhou then casually walked down one of the paths.
Unfortunately, the first person to enter searched everywhere but found nothing! Zhou had no choice but to return empty-handed.
The second path was very narrow, barely wide enough for a small person to pass through!
After walking for about two minutes, we came to a dark, narrow cave with a small stream inside, which was probably groundwater.
After carefully examining the internal structure, Zhou began to search meticulously.
Soon, they found a small, palm-sized box in a secluded cave. Just in case, Zhou used the key from the box he found at the first location to open the second box.
With a "click," the box opened with a crisp sound.
Inside was a key and a mysterious note.
Shining the flashlight over it, a few words appeared on the note: Don't trust her!
It's happening again!
It's those same few words again.
So, who should we not trust?
Zhou Ye took a deep breath, suppressing his inner turmoil and unease!
He put the note into his spatial storage.
Inside the educated youth settlement, a stealthy figure leaped into Su Yunzhou's room.
"gentlemen!"
"They're inside?"
"yes!"
Did you find anything?
"I'm sorry, I didn't go in. Zhou Zhiqing was very vigilant."
Su Yunzhou was silent for a moment: "If you find it, bring it back!"
The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay!"
After Su Yunzhou and the others left, she sighed helplessly, "Why is she so disobedient? Sigh... what a naughty girl!"
Tsk…
Zhou Ye carried a basket down the mountain, filled with meat and vegetables, intending to take it back to the educated youth settlement later.
But……
"who?"
Zhou paused for a moment, feeling a cold wind behind her. She immediately bent down, and a sharp arrow shot towards her shoulder.
who?
A masked man, holding a crossbow, stared coldly at Zhou Ye, his eyes as sharp as a venomous snake!
It seems that Zhou Ye is about to be put to death at any moment!
"Miss Zhou, hand over what you have in your hand!"
Zhou Ye sneered. Was this the final move?
Is it Su Yunzhou? Or some other force in Kyoto that wants to covet Grandpa's belongings?
She stared intently at the person in front of her. She had no recollection of this man, yet he carried a strange sense of familiarity.
Have you seen him before?
No, if I had really seen him, I would definitely remember who he was.
Would Su Yunzhou really put him to death?
Zhou Ye secretly weighed the situation. At this moment, she couldn't guarantee that she had the ability to fight back. All she could rely on were the deadly poisons in the space, which might give her some breathing room.
Or perhaps it's a place where one can hide and find refuge.
The best course of action is to escape immediately!
"I don't know what you're talking about. Who sent you?"
"Heh... that's something you don't need to know!" the masked man sneered, raising his crossbow with a chilling glint in its eye, and threatening, "Miss Zhou, you're still young; it's not worth it for material possessions."
It's best to just hand it over obediently!
I promise you will leave here safely, and I don't want to hurt you!
What do you think?
Zhou Ye's gaze suddenly darkened, and he sneered, "Su Yunzhou?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the newcomer's expression changed slightly, which immediately alerted Zhou Ye to the unusual situation. It really was Su Yunzhou!
Oh……
Seeing that Zhou Ye showed no sign of backing down or room for negotiation, the masked man's killing intent flashed instantly, and the sound of a crossbow bolt piercing the air rang out, aimed directly at Zhou Ye's heart.
Zhou Ye's pupils contracted slightly...
This person doesn't seem to be here to ask for something; he seems more like he's here to kill someone!
