Chapter 131 The Dying Old Woman
Chapter 131 The Dying Old Woman
He Yi looked at Qiao Xinghua and He Fan in surprise.
What?
Have they discovered it a long time ago?
And the person sleeping next to me just found out today?
Is this what it means when a lover sees beauty in his eyes? His heart and eyes are full of her, but he didn't notice anything wrong with her?
Of course, He Yi was not the only one in the He family who didn't notice it. He's father and grandfather also didn't notice it.
He Yi sighed, took out a gold coin from his pajamas pocket and placed it on the table.
This is still downstairs, he asked Zuo Zixuan for it.
Grandpa He picked up the gold coin, looked at it carefully, and weighed it in his hand.
"Where did it come from?"
"The one I mentioned in the cave..."
He Yi told his family the whole story, including the causes and consequences.
Except for Grandpa He, everyone else's jaw dropped.
Four or five acres of gold coins, jewelry and porcelain, is there so much gold in the country's treasury?
Mr. He lived a clean life and was loyal to his country.
He has never done anything against the national interest, but now he has to deal with such a money-hungry granddaughter-in-law, which makes him feel helpless.
But the thing was discovered by someone else, and what she said makes sense.
If the country takes this thing and spreads it out, there will probably be some disputes.
"Xuan Xuan said that she would use these things when the country needs them at a critical moment."
Grandpa He thought about it and nodded.
He knew that Zuo Zixuan was a person who cared about her country and her family, and if the country was in trouble one day, she would definitely help.
After the matter was made clear, Qiao Xinghua raised another question.
"What are you doing on the green grass slope for no reason?"
He Yi glanced at Grandpa He, then collapsed on the sofa, leaned his head against the back of the sofa, looked at the ceiling and said calmly:
"Someone wrote her a note, and I was worried that she would leave me quietly, so I followed her."
"Did she offend someone? Did someone want to set a snake on her?"
He Yi sat up straight, frowned, and asked Qiao Xinghua, "What? You said that the python was deliberately released by someone to bite her?"
Qiao Xinghua nodded, "Yes, today some villagers saw you and your wife going to Qingcaopo one after the other, so we and other villagers went to Qingcaopo to look for you.
While looking for you, Uncle Hai discovered the box containing the black python.
So we guessed that someone deliberately lured Xuan Xuan there, hoping to let the snake bite her to death."
He Yi narrowed his eyes, a raging fire burning in his heart. Someone wanted to kill Zuo Zixuan?
Zuo Zixuan had only been on the island for a short time and had not offended anyone. She also had a very good reputation on the island now, so it was impossible that she was from the island.
If they are not from the island, then they are from Zedu.
Zedu's relationships are even simpler. Apart from the disagreement with Luo Huiru, she has not had any contact with anyone else.
Could it be Luo Huiru?
No, Luo Huiru shouldn’t be that brave.
Who is that?
"He Yi, the box that contained the snake is very big. If the snake was brought in from outside, the conductor on the ship must have remembered it. We will know the answer tomorrow when we ask him."
He Yi returned to his room again, and the sky had turned gray.
He reached out to hug Zuo Zixuan, but unexpectedly Zuo Zixuan suddenly rolled over and climbed on top of him, coincidentally bumping into the injured part of his chest.
He gasped in pain and growled.
When Zuo Zixuan heard his low growl, she quickly got up from him and turned on the desk lamp.
"Are you hurt? Let me take a look..."
After saying that, she reached out to unbutton his pajamas.
Before He Yi could stop her, all the buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned by Zuo Zixuan.
The clothes were untied, revealing a large bruise.
Zuo Zixuan looked at it, and suddenly tears flowed down the corners of her eyes. She said with a choked voice:
"You were so badly injured, why didn't you tell me?"
He Yi pulled the man down to lie on his arms and comforted him:
"It's okay, it's just a bruise, it will heal in a few days.
During training in the past, I have suffered injuries far more serious than this.
Don’t worry…”
"Take off your clothes and pants, I'll apply medicine on you."
Zuo Zixuan didn't allow He Yi to object and directly stripped off his pajamas.
He Yi's resistance was futile and he had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.
After his clothes were taken off, Zuo Zixuan realized that He Yi's injuries were far more than just the one on his chest.
The entire back was bruised and black, with not a single healthy spot.
She covered her mouth with her hands in pain and sobbed quietly behind He Yi.
Even though he was seriously injured, he still carried himself back from the abandoned church building. The rock in his heart had been shattered.
He Yi heard her sobbing and turned around and hugged her in his arms.
"Wife, don't cry.
It just looks scary, but it will be fine in a few days."
Zuo Zixuan raised her head and kissed He Yi's thin lips fiercely.
He Yi reached out and gently hugged her waist, held her head, and responded to her gently.
"He Yi, promise me that you won't do this again next time."
He Yi pressed his hand against her forehead, panting, "I still say the same thing, you are my hope in life, if anything happens to you, I will not live alone.
Therefore, you must protect your own safety and live well. "
"fool……"
"Well, I am stupid...but only to you."
Zuo Zixuan chuckled helplessly. It seemed that after finding a way to go back, the only thing she could do was to let Xu Qingfeng take a letter back to her parents.
In the morning, the whole family didn't get up for breakfast, and almost everyone slept until lunch time.
Zuo Zixuan sprained her ankle. Although she applied medicine when she came back, she still couldn't touch the ground the next day.
He Yi felt much better after applying the medicine. Although the blood bruises could not be seen much less, it didn't hurt much anymore.
Zuo Zixuan used to go over to the pharmaceutical factory every day, but now that she can't move, Ning Rong and He Fan have gone to look after it.
During the time that Zuo Zixuan and He Yi were resting at home, their relationship was as sweet as honey and progressed by leaps and bounds.
The next day, Qiao Xinghua went to investigate the python matter.
He went straight to Yu Changgui and asked him to secretly inquire whether anyone had carried a large box to the island during the two days when Zuo Zixuan and the others had the accident.
At this time, the gangsters were holding steel pipes and blocking Luo Huiru in a small alley in Zedu.
"Isn't it said that she was just an ordinary peasant woman? If she dies, she dies, and the He family won't pursue it?
You bitch, not only did you cause me to lose a black python, but my brothers were also hunted down by the police.
If you don't give me an explanation today, I will feed you to the black python."
The thugs kept hitting the walls of the alley with steel pipes.
Luo Huiru shrank into the corner in fear, and said in a trembling voice:
"I haven't asked you to return the money yet, but you're causing trouble for me.
I paid the deposit, you didn't kill anyone, you breached the contract, why do you want me to give you an explanation?"
Luo Huiru was so upset. How could Zuo Zixuan be so lucky? Even the black python couldn't kill her.
"What? Refund?
It's not even dark yet and you're already dreaming?
Do you know how much my black python cost?"
The gangster jumped up when he heard Luo Huiru's words. He had inherited the black python from someone else half a year ago.
It cost a full one hundred and fifty dollars to transfer it over.
If he hadn't been short of money recently and there were not many animals for him to hunt in the mountains, he would have agreed to take Luo Huiru's killing order worth a few dozen dollars.
Now that he was in trouble, Luo Huiru not only refused to compensate him, but also asked him to return the money.
He completely lost his patience and picked up the steel pipe and beat Luo Huiru to death.
The gangster took the fifty yuan from Luo Huiru and pointed a steel pipe at her head, saying:
“My black python costs 200 yuan. I took 50 yuan from you today. I still need 150 yuan. I’ll give you one month to give it to me.
Otherwise, no matter whether your elder brother is the battalion commander or the chief, I will still kill you."
Before leaving, he kicked Luo Huiru hard on the back again.
It took Luo Huiru a long time to catch her breath. She curled up in the corner, hugging her legs and crying.
Why is my life so bitter?
She just wanted to marry the person she loved so that she could live a better life in the future. What was wrong with that? Why did God treat her like that?
Zuo Zixuan, a young lady of a capitalist family, not only lives a life of luxury in the He family, but is also spoiled by the entire family.
It’s so unfair…
Zuo Zixuan, who was lying in the yard basking in the sun, sneezed several times in succession.
"Wife, are you cold? Shall I get you a small blanket?"
"No, maybe the person who wanted to harm me is cursing me because he failed to do so."
When He Yi thought of this, his expression suddenly became serious. It seemed that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Qiao Xinghua asked Yu Changgui to secretly investigate who brought the box ashore. The investigation yielded some results, and a portrait was pieced together by the Public Security Bureau.
The Public Security Bureau searched for the person in the portrait for several days but received no news.
He also contacted his brothers to find Qiao Xinghua and asked them to identify the person in the portrait.
Those who often walk the streets said that they had never seen the person in the portrait. He looked very strange and had never been seen in Zedu.
But Yu Changgui found out that among the three people who delivered the box onto the ship that day, one had a large black mole on the back of his hand.
When Zuo Zixuan discovered the devil's cave in Xishan, he also saw a person with a large black mole on the back of his hand, but that person spoke the Japanese language.
They wondered if someone had leaked the news that Zuo Zixuan was the first to discover the cave.
And releasing the snake was Xiao Benzi's revenge on Zuo Zixuan.
"Xuan Xuan, when you saw three people speaking the island language at the Xishan Cave, apart from one of them having a large black mole on the back of his hand, did the others have any other obvious features?"
Zuo Zixuan lay on the recliner with his legs crossed, looking at the blue sky and thinking about the three people he saw that day.
The three men had their faces covered, and apart from the one with a mole on the back of his hand, the other two did not have any particularly obvious physical features other than being short.
"Xuan Xuan..."
Zuo Zixuan turned over and sat up, "Aunt Zhang, what's wrong? Why are you running so fast?"
Aunt Zhang was so anxious that she was almost incoherent.
"Outside..., there's a little girl of three or four looking for you...
He also brought an old woman who was about to die.
You should go and have a look.”
