373: The Robbers, Xing'er's Flute

Zhou Zihao saw that the faces of the people in front of him looked more and more strange the more he talked, so he stopped talking and wondered what was wrong with these people? Was there something wrong?

Liang Fu asked, "Brother Zhou, the man you saved seems to be my cousin! He was robbed in the woods five miles away from here a few days ago. He was stabbed several times and almost died. Fortunately, someone passed by and saved him. Later, that person chased the thief and ran away. That person must be you, Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Zihao didn't expect that this would be such a coincidence. The person he saved turned out to be Liang Fu's cousin.

"Among the people I saved that day, there seemed to be a young man with a knife wound and a girl, and there was a carriage next to them. If that's the case, then it's true."

Shen Zian bowed deeply to Zhou Zihao and said, "That girl is my sister. Thank you for saving my life. I will definitely let her come to thank you someday."

Zhou Zihao looked at Shen Zian and felt that this man seemed to have the same aura as himself, which seemed to be the aura that only martial artists could have. Moreover, why did the expression on this man's face look so familiar? After thinking about it, he realized that he looked like himself. He immediately felt a sense of familiarity towards Shen Zian.

"Don't be so polite. Your wife saved my life, too. This is my repayment of that favor."

At this time the doctor came in and examined Zhou Zihao. He said that he was well but still a little weak. He needed to take good care of himself and he would be well soon.

Liang Fu was very happy and let Zhou Zihao live here peacefully, saying that he was her and Qian Guang's savior, and they would be uneasy if he didn't live here.

As Liang Fu spoke, she told her maid to report to the wealthy Qian's wife, Mrs. Qian, that she had found Qian Guang's savior. She was very happy now, thinking that the benefactor she had been thinking about for so long not only appeared in front of her, but she also saved him, and he had just saved her cousin before that. What a great fate! If he hadn't married yet, would she have been his wife? This time, because he was her cousin's benefactor, her uncle and aunt would definitely help her!

Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian were both very surprised when they heard the maid's reply. They didn't expect that the injured man Liang Fu brought back was actually the savior of their son. Although they thought it was too coincidental, they thought that there was no need for this person to lie, and as long as their son went over to take a look, he would know whether it was true or not.

The two went to see Zhou Zihao first, but he thanked them profusely and told them to stay at Qian's house and recuperate. Don't leave in a hurry.

Seeing that the Qian family was so sincere in wanting him to stay, Zhou Zihao stayed because he was still a little exhausted.

Qian Guang also knew about this, and immediately had his servants carry him over to thank Zhou Zihao. He saw that he was indeed the one who saved him, and he felt that this was really a great fate.

Zhou Zihao and Qian Guang also had a great conversation, and they felt like they had known each other for a long time. If Qian Guang hadn't been ill, they would have chatted endlessly. In the end, Mrs. Qian said that she would definitely let Zhou Zihao stay at home so that they could spend a long time together.

Qian Guang still didn't want to leave. He asked Zhou Zihao: "Brother Zhou, were you injured by those people? Do you know who they are? As long as I can catch them, I will definitely make them get the punishment they deserve! There has never been such a vicious robber in our area within a hundred miles! Not only did they use knives, they also poisoned people!"

Qian Dahu also asked, he wished he could tear the thieves who hurt his son into pieces.

Zhou Zihao said, "Come to think of it. I knew that guy before this, and I was chasing them in this direction. I just happened to see them attacking you! This group of people used to be a notorious gang of thieves, harming people everywhere. One time, they set their sights on me, so I chased them relentlessly."

According to Zhou Zihao's description, the leader of this gang was a short middle-aged man with a mustache and a red mole on his nose, which made him easy to find. Zhou Zihao also told him the descriptions of several other people. Qian Dahu was very happy to hear this, thinking that with such obvious facial features, he would definitely be able to catch the thief.

After all this trouble, it was already noon.

"Zi'an, Su Zhi, you two should stay for dinner. Today is a good day. We can find Zihao now. He is fine now. We are all destined to meet here. Let's have dinner together!"

Qian Dahu said to Shen Zian and Su Zhi that he thought today was a good day. He suddenly had a feeling from Zhou Zihao that it was God's will. Otherwise, how could his niece bring back the benefactor she had been looking for for a long time? Moreover, this person was the savior of his son. He saved Shen Zhu and was saved by Shen Zhu's sister-in-law. Su Zhi was also the benefactor of his son. The fate in between was really complicated. He thought to himself that since there was such a great fate, he should just follow God's will and let these young people interact well. Maybe it would really be a good thing!

Shen Zian and Su Zhi saw that it was getting late, and even if they were not hungry, the three kids would be hungry too.

Speaking of the three little kids, after they arrived, they were busy rescuing people and left the children to Mrs. Qian to take care of. Now no one knows where they have gone to play.

When Mrs. Qian heard Su Zhi asking about the children, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, they have servants with them, and they are playing in the garden. I will send someone to call them back."

Mrs. Qian walked out with a smile, ordered someone to prepare the meal quickly, and then asked someone to bring Xiao Ri and the other two back.

Xiaori and the others came back quickly. All three of them had red faces from playing, like red apples. They were so adorable.

"Dad, Mom, let's go see the little goldfish! We fed them, and as soon as we threw the food in, all the little fish came running over! Mom, let's put some little fish in our pond too! I'll feed them when the time comes! When they grow up, Mom will make lots and lots of fish for us!"

As soon as Yueyue came in, she rushed to Su Zhi's side, pulled her and talked happily.

Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "Yueyue, those fish at Grandma Qian's house are small goldfish. They can't be made into the delicious fish you mentioned. They can't grow up. If you want to eat fish, there will be some at noon. You can eat as much as you want!"

Yueyue smiled and said to Mrs. Qian, "Thank you, Grandma Qian!"

"Yueyue is so well behaved."

Mrs. Qian looked at Yueyue and thought that this little girl was really cute, and Xiao Rixing'er was also very well-behaved. This Su Zhi was really good at raising children. It would be great if her grandchildren were as cute as her in the future. But when she thought that her son was going to marry Shen Zhu, she felt uncomfortable. She thought that a woman like that could not raise a good child. She must be as cunning and shameless as she was. It was a pity that she thought she was a good girl before!

Xing'er pulled Mrs. Qian's sleeve and said, "Grandma Qian, are you unhappy? Let me play the flute for you!"

Mrs. Qian's face was full of smiles immediately, and she said, "Grandma is not unhappy. Xing'er is really a good child. You can play the flute! Can you play it for me? I love to listen to the flute."

Xing'er immediately took out a small flute from his sleeve, but he turned his head to look at Zhou Zihao on the bed and Qian Guang beside him, and said, "I'd better not play it. There are sick people in here, and they need to rest well."

Qian Guang smiled and said, "Uncle also likes to listen to the flute, Xing'er can play it. Brother Zhou, Xing'er's flute is very nice, you will definitely like it if you listen to it." He said this just to let Zhou Zihao tell Xing'er that he can play it. He also likes Xing'er very much because of Su Zhi.

Zhou Zihao stared at Xing'er with his eyes wide open. It was not until Qian Guang spoke that he began to react. He nodded and said, "Yes, I also like to listen to people playing the flute. Xing, Xing'er, play it."

After listening to this, Xing'er looked at Shen Zian and Su Zhi again. Seeing that they were looking at him with smiles, he happily put the flute to his lips and began to play.

Su Zhi looked at Xing'er with a smile, thinking that this child was usually very stable and not talkative, but very smart, just lacking the liveliness of a child. He recently learned to play the flute, which made him more cheerful. Naturally, she tolerated him.

Xing'er played a short tune very well. For a young child like him, it was really good.

Zhou Zihao looked at Xing'er, his brows slightly wrinkled. From the moment he saw Xing'er, he wondered why this child looked so familiar. She really looked like his friend's child! But this was his benefactor's child. Seeing their family so happy, the doting smile on his benefactor's face was the purest care of a mother. Maybe he was overthinking.

Just looking at the way Xing'er played the flute made him feel that this child looked like the little child he had seen before. The more he looked, the more similar they were. The way he played the flute was also very much like his good friend.

After Xing'er finished playing the flute, everyone praised him. A blush appeared on his usually calm face. He carefully put the flute away again.

"Xing'er, you play the flute so well. Why do you like playing the flute? Did you want to learn it because you heard others play it so well? Who taught you?"

Zhou Zihao couldn't help but ask. If he had any doubts in his heart, he would want to figure things out.

Xing'er heard that it was the uncle lying in bed who asked him the question. He was a patient and someone his parents knew, so he answered seriously. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "I heard Grandpa Lan playing the flute. I think he played it very well. But he didn't play as well as someone I heard before. I want to play as well as him in the future."

Zhou Zihao asked again, "Who was the one who played better? Do you remember?"

At this moment, everyone felt that the question Zhou Zihao asked was a little unusual. Su Zhi's expression changed a little. Could it be what she thought in her heart?
