Chapter 68: Extravagant Desire
Tell the owner? Oh my god, I accidentally messed up.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci felt a little excited.
I just don't know who that patriarch is, and if I can trick him into coming. "Don't mind, don't mind. I love making friends. Besides, you and I have the same last name. Maybe five hundred years ago, we were one family!"
Chu Chengyun was very happy about the statement "We are originally one family". "Hahahaha! I am fifty-seven years old this year. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Chu."
Chu Ci was not pretentious. "Grandpa Chu, my name is Chu Ci. You can just call me Ah Ci. That's what my master used to call me."
The words "Grandpa Chu" and "Master" directly elevated Chu Chengyun to the same status as his master.
Chu Chengyun heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, be good, Ci. If there are no accidents, the head of the family will be here in about half a month."
About half a month, wouldn't that be the time the villagers said the typhoon would hit? Besides, Wuxi to Yazhou is at least two thousand miles away. Twenty days?
Chu Ci quickly shook his head: "Actually, there's no need to rush. In half a month, Yazhou Island will be in typhoon season, so it's really not suitable to go to the island."
Chu Chengyun turned his head to look at Doctor Hua who was standing beside him, and Doctor Hua nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Chu Chengyun's expression was a little unnatural, and he changed the subject abruptly: "Old Man Hua, don't you want to re-examine Ah Ci? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Gu——gu——
Just as Divine Doctor Hua was about to make some amends, Chu Ci's stomach rumbled loudly. This time, Chu Ci was the one who was embarrassed...
Fan Jingrui quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Doctor Hua, this kind of emotion shouldn't be conducive to the examination, right? Why don't we go eat first and then do a detailed examination later."
As soon as this proposal came out, Chu Chengyun was the first to respond. "Okay, this is a good proposal, Old Man Hua, what do you think?"
As he spoke, he winked at Doctor Hua desperately. Doctor Hua was indeed not sure in what state the "Gu" in Chu Ci's body was most active, so he nodded in agreement.
Doctor Hua was not bound by status when practicing medicine. Therefore, for the first time, the Fan family's restaurant broke the rule of "no talking while eating".
It can also be said that this is a unique consultation.
Because Divine Doctor Hua's inquiry was not only directed at Chu Ci, the person involved. Everyone in the Fan family who had contact with Chu Ci was not spared, and the Chu family was an unavoidable link.
"If possible, try to bring the person here. Perhaps I can find a solution as soon as possible." Doctor Hua's suggestion coincided with Chu Ci's idea.
The pressure was on Fan Jingrui, because the Chu family was different from the Fan family. After the Fan family settled in Jingtian Village, they became ordinary villagers.
The Chu family were criminals, and not only did they need to perform labor, but unless there were special circumstances, they could leave the village.
Fan Jingrui secretly glanced at Mr. Fan who was sitting on the main seat. After getting Mr. Fan's consent, Fan Jingrui said, "Leave this matter to me."
However, this wait lasted for ten days. The Fan family's house was completely completed and all the supplies were packed up and returned home. But Chu Ci didn't even see the shadow of the Chu family.
Until the thirteenth day, thunder and lightning struck the entire Yazhou, and there were almost no pedestrians on the streets outside.
The Chu family members were sent here in such bad weather.
But within a month, Chu's mother, Li Yanran, the only two women in the Chu family, had become emaciated. Zhang Ying's condition, while slightly better, was still not optimistic. Her clothes hung loosely on her body, and she looked lifeless.
Chu Xiaxiong and several other men were in slightly better spirits, but they were still very thin.
After separating them under the pretext of washing up, Chu Ci took Zhang Ying's hand and asked, "How could this be, Zhang Ying? Didn't I send you some supplies earlier?"
"And the pork sausage from a few days ago..."
Zhang Ying didn't know what to say about the Chu family's bizarre behavior, but Chu Junyi had no intention of covering up for them. "My parents and my brother bribed the village chief and officials with all the stuff. All they did was get a little information about Chu Ling'er."
Chu Ling'er again? Chu Ci secretly hated her.
But this time she did not blame the Chu family's behavior as usual, because only by experiencing it personally could she know how great the impact of "Gu" can be on a person.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Ci decided to let Chu Junyi go see it himself: "Brother, let's let Dr. Hua examine you first. Perhaps after the examination, you will understand the reason for their actions."
Chu Junyi was no fool. Thinking of his own situation, he immediately grabbed Chu Ci's hand and asked nervously, "Have you found a way to make them return to normal?"
Although Chu Ci didn't give a positive answer, it was enough. Chu Junyi was eager to be recognized at this moment, "Yingying, did you hear that? They... they can still be saved. I..."
However, his speech was disorganized and intermittent.
Zhang Ying understood him, "That's right, Dad and Mom will get better, and our future will get better and better..."
Zhang Ying kept comforting Chu Junyi, and Chu Ci just watched quietly from beginning to end until both of them calmed down completely.
Chu Ci then said, "Brother, eat something first and then wash up. Divine Doctor Hua will need your cooperation when he sees you."
"Okay, okay. Big brother will listen to you." Chu Junyi was even more excited when Chu Ci called him big brother again. He even promised repeatedly that he would cooperate well.
Even Zhang Ying and little Chu Yuhao nodded vigorously.
In his previous life, Chu Ci had few family ties and was always alone. He called Chu Junyi "big brother" simply because he thought it was natural. He never expected that he would trust him so much.
And it wasn't a bad feeling. "Thanks."
Hearing Chu Ci's clumsy thanks, Chu Junyi genuinely relaxed. "Little sister, we should be the ones thanking you."
This time Chu Ci just smiled and left.
Chu Junyi was left with a look of uneasiness on her face. "Did I say something to upset my little sister?"
Zhang Ying just smiled bitterly, "Perhaps I'm just thinking about the past? Even if it's not sincere, so what? After all, the hurt I suffered can't be erased."
Zhang Ying said this on behalf of Chu Ci, but it was also her own voice.
Although Chu Ci gave her the opportunity to choose between staying in Jingtian Village or returning to the Chu family when she arrived in Yazhou, and she ultimately chose to return, the relationship between her and Chu Junyi could not be reversed after all.
Chu Junyi didn't understand, and he just couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope. But after his wife pointed it out so bluntly, the little hope in his heart suddenly felt lost, "I was just asking for too much."
Zhang Ying did not comfort her husband this time. Some things must be figured out by herself.
