Chapter 184: Worry

Hearing Xiaohuan’s words, I was completely stunned, scared silly by the fierce words of this little girl. This girl had even calculated the future; this was simply too terrifying.

"Xiaohuan, don't joke with others!" Zheng Linming glared at Xiaohuan and said.

"I’m not joking at all. What I said is true, I really want to marry Brother!" Xiaohuan pouted, and rushed over to hug me.

I was startled and subconsciously wanted to push her away, but suddenly stopped. If I pushed her away, would she be sad? After all, Xiaohuan had saved my life, and her heart was so pure.

"Alright, Xiaohuan, you go out and get the medicine, let him rest!" Zheng Linming said.

Xiaohuan let go of me, then suddenly stood up with a smile and said to me: "Brother, I’m going to get you medicine, you rest well!"

After saying this, Xiaohuan ran out happily. I carefully looked around and found that this was a very ordinary rural house. The walls weren't cement, but the most ordinary mud, and the roof was built very simply, feeling like it might leak at any time if it rained. I didn't expect there to be such houses in this world. I originally thought the place I lived in was already very poor, but compared to them, I was truly rich.

I slowly sat up, got out of bed, put on my shoes, and looked at the scenery outside. The air here was exceptionally fresh, and the chirping of cicadas and birds around me made my whole body and mind feel exceptionally comfortable. There were quite a few houses similar to this one outside, and there were many children running and playing, feeling exceptionally happy.

Seeing me get up, Zheng Linming turned to me and said: "Judging from your clothes, you’re a person from the city, right?"

"Uh, I guess so!" Compared to this place, my place could indeed be considered a city.

I walked to Xiaohuan’s side, watched her preparing herbs, squatted on the ground, pointed to the children outside, and said to her: "Why don't you go play with them?"

Xiaohuan looked at the children outside and said disdainfully: "I’m not that childish, they’re just a bunch of little brats, I can't play with them!"

"Aren't you a little brat too? Why are you pretending to be an old adult!" I looked at Xiaohuan unhappily and said.

"I said, I’m not young anymore, I can get married in two years!" Xiaohuan looked at me angrily, pouting.

I looked at the house and it seemed there were only Xiaohuan and Zheng Linming, so I asked Xiaohuan suspiciously: "Thank you for saving me today. By the way, my name is Yang Yun!"

"My name is Xiaohuan, I already said, no need to thank me, just marry me!" Xiaohuan smiled, like an innocent child, but the words she said really didn't seem to match her pure and innocent face.

"Xiaohuan, right? Actually, the grace of saving a life doesn't necessarily have to be repaid by marrying!" I started thinking about how I could persuade her.

"No, the grace of saving a life must be repaid by marrying. That’s what it says in TV shows and storybooks!"

"TV shows are all for fooling children, they don't count at all. Think about it, two people who don't know each other suddenly marry. If the two people don't like each other, wouldn't both people be unhappy!"

"But, I’m very happy, and Brother Yang Yun is so handsome. I don't care, anyway Brother Yang Yun is mine, I’m your wife, you’re my husband!"

Regarding this little girl’s words, I truly had a headache. It was the first time I felt that dealing with a child was so troublesome.

Zheng Linming saw us from the side and also smiled, not intending to come over to help.

"By the way, Xiaohuan, where are your parents?" I asked suspiciously.

"I don't have parents, my parents passed away very early, Grandpa has always been the one taking care of me!" Xiaohuan said disappointedly.

Hearing this, I hurriedly apologized: "I’m sorry, I didn't know, but it’s okay, Xiaohuan, you still have Grandpa!"

"Right, I still have Grandpa, and now I have Brother Yang Yun, I have a husband, I feel very satisfied!"

I didn't intend to answer this guy’s words at all. Saying more was useless. This girl seemed to have set her mind on it and couldn't listen to anything.

Just then, Zheng Linming suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, scaring Xiaohuan and me into putting down our work and running to Zheng Linming’s side to ask: "Old man, what’s wrong with you?"

"Grandpa, Grandpa, don't scare me, is the previous illness recurring, wuwu!" Xiaohuan cried and hugged Zheng Linming.

Hearing Xiaohuan’s words, Zheng Linming obediently touched her head and said: "Silly girl, I’m fine, just drink some medicine and it will be fine!"

However, I felt this matter wasn't that simple. From Xiaohuan’s words, it could be heard that this spitting of blood hadn't happened just once. It seemed it had been there before, most likely a long-term illness. I looked at Zheng Linming, and Zheng Linming shook his head at me.

At night, I was outside alone, feeling the baptism of mosquitoes, unable to sleep uncomfortably, thinking about what had happened before. I originally thought I was dead for sure after jumping into the moat, but I didn't expect I actually didn't die. I felt like all this was a dream, but since I didn't die, some things certainly couldn't just be left like that.

Who was the person who betrayed me, and how is everyone doing now? If Li Hong solved me, would he make things difficult for them? This was also what I was very worried about. After all, Li Hong was also very unhappy with them before. I could only hope Sister Ling and Sister Shuang would take care of them. Zhang Wu was Zhang family after all, so I guess they wouldn't dare to go too far. Zhang Yinuo goes without saying. As for Xu Hongzhi, Third Brother, thinking of Third Brother, I felt exceptionally uncomfortable in my heart. Third Brother was the one with the least background among these people, and the one who had offended the most people before, and at the same time, he was also the most dangerous now. It was impossible not to worry.

I didn't know where this place was, only heard them say this was some village. To go to the city outside, you had to walk dozens of miles of mountain road, and then take a tractor to the city to take a bus to get to the city.

Now it wasn't like I could just leave if I wanted to. Besides, my body was exceptionally weak, and my leg was injured in the river for some reason, so I was limping when I walked.

I lived here for eight or nine days. These eight or nine days I was exceptionally happy, playing very happily with Xiaohuan and other children. Although Xiaohuan was very unwilling to play with them, seeing me go over, she had to play together. I taught them to read and write. Here, they couldn't even afford to go to school. Although there was a school here, for them, the school was very far away, and they didn't have any transportation here, so the word school was exceptionally distant to them.

And these two days Zheng Linming’s body was getting worse and worse, looking like he wouldn't make it, feeling like it was just a matter of days. ===== CHAPTER 185 =====
