Chapter 245: A Cold Stare
Zhou Zixu came over from the outside mountain. When he heard Li Sihui's voice, he quickened his pace. He saw her talking to a man. The man had his back to him and he couldn't see clearly what he looked like.
Afraid that Li Sihui would suffer, he shouted as he walked.
When Dr. Xing heard the man's shouting, his face changed. When he turned around and saw that it was Zhou Zixu, he became even more nervous. He took a step aside, lowered his head, and returned to his usual honest and cautious self.
"Sihui, this person looks familiar?"
Zhou Zixu was wearing an olive green military uniform and blended into the green as he walked into the mountains.
His dark eyes observed Dr. Xing sharply. As a soldier, he had a very accurate eye for people.
From the moment this man appeared, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. Now he didn't even dare to raise his head. If he wasn't hiding something, his eyes should be open.
"Doctor Xing was sent down from the village."
When Li Sihui saw that it was him, the wariness in her eyes disappeared. She walked over to stand beside him and introduced him to Dr. Xing.
"Oh? The people who were sent down are still so free?"
He walked up to Dr. Xing and looked down at him with eyes as sharp as swords, a completely different person from his usual playful self.
Li Sihui glanced at him and found that when he looked cold, he looked a lot like his older brother, even more cruel than him.
"Well, the village chief said I can go into the mountains to collect herbs."
It was not known whether it was because the sun was too strong or because Zhou Zixu's gaze was like a magnified searchlight that made him nervous. Doctor Xing raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and replied in a dry voice.
"Oh, so it was the village chief who asked me to do that."
Zhou Zixu nodded, but his sharp gaze did not move away from his face.
He was tall, and standing in front of Dr. Xing, who was a head shorter than him, gave off an oppressive vibe.
Coupled with the pressure he deliberately released, Doctor Xing's face changed like a grocery store, sometimes red, sometimes white, and then turned blue.
He stepped back subconsciously. He took a step back and Zhou Zixu took a step closer to him with his hands behind his back.
This kind of following like a shadow and staring at him coldly had a great psychological deterrent effect on Dr. Xing.
He had to look up at Zhou Zixu and forced a flattering smile: "It's true. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the village chief. I was the one who saved his son!"
Dr. Xing brought up the village chief and the fact that he had saved Zhao Jinchen, meaning to tell Zhou Zixu that he was a good man and not to doubt him.
"Sihui, how did you meet Dr. Xing?"
Zhou Zixu smiled, but his eyes were still cold. His smile was more like a fake smile, which was even more terrifying than the cold face just now.
That simply told Dr. Xing that he didn't believe what he said.
"We met by chance. He said he went to the inner mountain to collect herbs, but..."
Li Sihui spoke as she spoke to Doctor Xing. When she said the first two sentences, Doctor Xing looked at her with hope, but when he heard the last word "but", he suddenly became nervous again.
"But what?"
The smile on Zhou Zixu's face disappeared, and his eyes were like sharp swords, staring at Dr. Xing. He swallowed hard and protected his neck with his hands.
If looks could cut a person's throat, then Zhou Zixu's current look would be what it means.
“But he didn’t take any tools.”
While Zhou Zixu was observing Dr. Xing, Li Sihui was also observing him.
When he found that he could not utter more than two words, he was so scared that he almost sat on the ground.
When he heard her say that she didn't bring any tools, the panic in his eyes obviously disappeared and was replaced by a sense of relief.
"oh."
Zhou Zixu raised one corner of his mouth in an evil smile and uttered "oh" in a long voice, but his sharp eyes were fixed on his eyes.
