Feeling Xie Yanbei's nervousness and concern, Ji Qingzhou felt sweet in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. I will never let myself get hurt."
After she finished speaking, she added with a slightly serious expression, "Besides helping Auntie vent her anger and getting back the money and tickets she was cheated of, I also made an unexpected discovery at your uncle's house."
At this time, Dr. Peng had gone out to see patients, and there were only the two of them in the clinic.
After confirming that there were no ears through the wall, Ji Qingzhou put his hands in his pockets and took out a small yellow croaker from the space under the cover of his clothes.
"My uncle had a small box of these small yellow croaker gold bars at home. The markings on them looked like they were quite old. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed wrong, so I moved them all back home."
When Xie Yanbei took it and looked at it, his expression changed instantly.
"These small yellow croakers must be handed in if you pick them up."
Thinking of Ji Qingzhou saying that Xie Tianrui had a box full of such small yellow croakers at home, he frowned and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
"What you found at your uncle's house may not be all."
Ji Qingzhou's idea coincided with his. After discussing it, the two of them wanted to use this as bait to lure out the person behind the scenes.
The people who are most suspected now are those who have had contact with Xie Tianrui.
This matter is of great importance, and it is impossible for Ji Qingzhou to just ignore it.
What's more, she now has a space golden finger, so maybe she can be of some help.
Xie Yanbei didn't think of stopping her, but he was very worried about her safety.
"This is a very dangerous matter. You must not act alone."
Afraid that he hadn't said enough and Ji Qingzhou wouldn't understand the pros and cons of the matter, he said little and explained the whole story in detail.
"Before I was injured, while still in the army, we received an anonymous report claiming that there were suspected enemy spies operating near Jingxin Commune."
"But after investigation, we haven't received any follow-up, so the matter has been put on hold. Now I suspect that the small yellow croakers you found may have been stolen from the hands of enemy spies."
Ji Qingzhou listened very carefully and nodded frequently.
"I understand. Don't worry. For the sake of my own life, I won't act on my own."
Xie Yanbei was very satisfied with her well-behaved behavior, and his cold expression eased.
Just as he picked up the enamel cup on the table and wanted to drink some water to calm down, he saw Ji Qingzhou move closer to him and asked him with a smile.
"Ayan, you say so much, are you concerned about me?"
Xie Yanbei: "..."
He fell silent, and his grip on the cup grew tighter and tighter. Although he didn't speak, a visibly red blush appeared on his ears.
Ji Qingzhou saw his reaction and felt sweet in his heart.
After trying for so long, Xie Yanbei was finally not as resistant to her as before, and even knew to take the initiative to express his concern. This was really a good sign.
When Ji Qingzhou was reborn this time, he was determined to treat Xie Yanbei well.
Maybe it won't be long before they can become a real couple like they were in their previous life.
Afraid that provoking too much might make the other person anxious, Ji Qingzhou obediently retreated to a safe distance.
The fragrance of the girl gradually faded, and Xie Yanbei slowly loosened his clenched hands and regained his normal thinking ability.
Perhaps in order to escape from the atmosphere as quickly as possible, he suddenly asked:
"How did you find those little yellow croakers?"
Ji Qingzhou paused, unable to directly say that he had drugged the Xie family members last night and discovered it when he sneaked into Xie Tianrui's house to loot good things.
Although she did this out of kindness and her original intention was to avenge her mother-in-law, she did not take a single cent that did not belong to them.
But the problem is that if Xie Yanbei knew about this, it would be difficult for her to explain how a weak woman like herself could complete such a difficult operation on her own.
Ji Qingzhou could only vaguely say, "When I went to seek justice for my mother yesterday, I happened to find this box of small yellow croakers that they had hidden. I felt something was wrong, so I took it away and hid it. I wanted to find a chance to show it to you."
This reason was not particularly perfect, but Xie Yanbei did not ask any further questions.
Whatever she says is what it is.
"Please keep those small yellow croakers away and don't let anyone see them, to avoid getting into any danger."
Ji Qingzhou nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After finishing the business, she thought of her mother-in-law's condition that she had observed in the past few days, and briefly talked about it with Xie Yanbei.
"Auntie's condition is medically known as Alzheimer's disease, commonly known as senile dementia. Due to a lack of understanding of this issue, it is generally not taken seriously. Even if the elders in the family occasionally experience memory loss, they don't take it seriously."
"But Alzheimer's is not as simple as one might imagine. In addition to memory loss, symptoms such as language impairment, forgetfulness of friends and family, inability to remember basic daily life, and even drastic personality changes may occur. They need more care."
Xie Yanbei really didn't know much about this matter. After hearing what Ji Qingzhou said, his expression instantly became serious.
"I asked her several times, but she always said she was fine. I saw she could take care of herself, so I didn't interfere much. I didn't expect it to be so serious."
He cracked his knuckles hard, his eyes dimming slightly.
"I was negligent."
Ji Qingzhou felt particularly distressed when he saw him like this, and quickly comforted him:
"Her condition isn't too serious yet. I know how to treat her. I've already given her acupuncture once, and it was quite effective. Just leave it to me."
She also replaced all the drinking water in her home with spiritual spring water. With the help of the spiritual spring water, her family's health is getting better and better.
She herself is no longer like a sick beauty like before, and her physical condition has improved a lot.
Xie Yanbei confirmed that these things would not tire her before nodding and agreeing.
"good."
Ji Qingzhou did all these things for their family, but he had no way to repay him.
Xie Yanbei could only remember all the good things she had done for him, thinking that when he had the ability, he would find a way to repay her.
Being nice to Ji Qingzhou is not included.
Even if she didn't help him, he would still be nice to her.
In the afternoon, at Xie Yanbei's insistence, he did not continue to stay in the health center, but dragged his injured leg back home.
Knowing that he was a strong-willed person, Ji Qingzhou did not insist on escorting him, but stayed to help Dr. Peng clean up.
On the way back to the village, I ran into many people from other villages.
Although everyone in the area had heard that Xie Yanbei had been injured in the army and had his leg disabled, they still couldn't help but take a second look at him when they first saw him.
The accumulation of these gazes should have doubled the pressure on people.
Xie Yanbei has never been the type to care about these things, and it was the same in the past. He had an outstanding ability to withstand pressure in the army.
Only when he was with Ji Qingzhou, for fear of affecting her, would he consider more factors.
Since Ji Qingzhou gave him hope of returning to the army, he didn't want to let her down, so naturally he wouldn't care about anyone else's opinion.
After all, they live their lives alone.
