Zuo Ling didn't want to have any more contact with the villagers, so she turned and walked in another direction on the island.
Guo Qi and Yang Chengang smiled wryly. They had really offended them. Look at them, they didn't even bother to say hello.
Zuo Ling didn't want to go into the island for the time being. Before anything had even happened, she had already encountered a large group of rats. If she went any further in, she might run into some strange and unusual things. She decided to take a walk around the outer perimeter first and see how things went.
"Zuo Ling, Zuo Ling, Zuo Ling..."
Zheng Ming called out urgently.
Unable to wait to get off the boat, he plunged into the sea and swam desperately toward Zuo Ling.
Zuo Ling froze. Without turning around, she knew who was calling her.
Such urgency indicates that Zheng Ming has encountered a problem.
She slowly turned around and coldly looked at the man who was struggling and swimming towards her.
Ning Qiang looked on with a gossipy expression, his eyes darting between Zheng Ming and Zuo Ling.
Although he didn't have much contact with Zuo Ling, he could tell from the sea snake incident that Zuo Ling was definitely a ruthless woman.
The way she left that day was so resolute, clearly indicating she didn't want any further involvement with the people of Tangren Village. But now she's stopped for a man, which means... something's interesting!
Not only Ning Qiang was curious, but Guo Qi, Yang Chengang, and a group of villagers were also curious.
Especially Yang Chengang, Zheng Ming called Zuo Ling's name on the day Zuo Ling saved them, but that was the only time, and the two never saw each other again after that.
Yang Chengang quickly forgot about it, but now he thinks that Zuo Ling and Zheng Ming's relationship was probably more than just acquaintances.
Zheng Ming came down in a hurry, afraid that Zuo Ling wouldn't wait for him, so he swam desperately. When he climbed ashore, he was panting heavily and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Zuo Ling waited patiently for him to catch his breath.
Zheng Ming's face was badly bruised and swollen. That day, he held Gao Manshu in his arms and shielded her from most of the white moth attacks.
Zuo Ling looked at him indifferently. If it were Zheng Ming's own problem, he wouldn't come to ask her for help. It must be that something had happened to his wife.
"Zuo...Zuo Ling, please...please save...save her."
Gao Manshu was already seriously ill, and the repeated attacks by sea snakes and white moths caused her to develop a high fever that very night.
He bought two boxes of fever reducer on credit from He Xiao, but they weren't very effective.
After a brief diagnosis, Jin Yu said that Gao Manshu had a very serious gynecological disease with damage to her internal organs. It was a complication caused by the white moth virus. Without testing equipment, he couldn't say for sure what the disease was.
After several days of persistent high fever, Gao Manshu is now barely clinging to life.
really!
"I'm not a doctor, you've come to the wrong person."
Xiao Hao's eyes darted around, curious about his sister's relationship with this man. He had heard the man call his sister's name that day.
"I...I really have no other choice, please...please help me. I...I know you must have a way."
He was with Gao Manshu initially, and it was indeed because of money.
Over the years, having experienced so much, including life and death, my state of mind has changed drastically.
In dire straits, they depended on each other for survival, relying on and supporting one another. They became an inseparable part of each other's bodies.
These are emotions that couples in peacetime cannot experience.
Zuo Ling gave a sarcastic smile: "Are you saying I'd stand by and watch someone die?"
Why do they think she should help? By simply assuming she has a solution, they can force her to help.
"If she really dies, are you going to hold me responsible because I didn't help her?"
"No, I won't, I... I won't."
Zheng Ming shook his head subconsciously.
"No? Ha, if those people on the ship knew about our relationship, do you know what they would say?"
Ning Qiang's eyes darted around. Good heavens, what did he just hear?
Just as he was about to get closer, wanting to hear more clearly, a figure blocked his way.
Pei Nansheng pressed a gun against his temple, while Xiao Hao simultaneously pressed against his lower back. "Step back."
Ning Qiang raised his hands in surrender:
"No, no, no, be careful of accidental discharge, be careful of accidental discharge, brother, I'm just listening to gossip, I mean no harm, I mean no harm."
Pei Nansheng snorted: "Go away."
Ning Qiang asked as he retreated:
"Brother, what's his relationship with Zuo Ling? I'm keeping my mouth shut, I promise I won't tell anyone."
Xiao Hao said impatiently, "What's it to you? Get out of here."
Ning Qiang was helpless; this kid was always so rude to him.
Ning Dage and the rest of the Ning family couldn't bear to see their second young master behaving so cowardly in front of Pei Nansheng and his sister, and they gritted their teeth in frustration.
…………
“They would say that I wish she would die sooner so I could avenge the loss of my husband, that I was gloating and wishing I could set off firecrackers to celebrate. And you, perhaps, are the one who fueled the flames, and if you’re even more shameless, you’ll spread my past everywhere.”
"No, no, no, I can't, I can't."
Zheng Ming shook his head vigorously.
"You don't know how? I don't understand medicine, don't you know that? Why are you coming to me for help?"
Zheng Ming moved his lips, thinking to himself, "We've been together for six years, and I still didn't know you were a superhuman."
"I...I didn't mean it, I...I really don't know what to do, I...I know I'm sorry, please, please help me for the sake of our past relationship."
Zuo Ling smiled coldly:
"You think I didn't save your wife because of what happened in the past? Is that how you see me?"
"I……"
Zheng Ming's knees buckled, and he knelt down, covering his face and bursting into tears.
"I...I really don't know who else to ask for help. I can only beg you. I don't want her to die. You don't know what we've been through all these years. I...please, please help me."
Zuo Ling turned to the side, closed her eyes for a long time, and then turned to look at the distant sea.
Even though she no longer had feelings for this man, she didn't want to see him kneeling and begging.
