Chapter 474: Old Zhu Vomited Blood!

~7 min read 1,335 words

Xiao Qi:...

It's strange, but it makes sense.

He was just about to nod, but saw Old Zhu couldn't help but sigh: "Not showing off four boxes is like wearing silk in the dark!"

Xiao Qi's hand trembled, but finally he steadied himself, only handing over the washed peach, rarely making a joke: "Night-walking peach, want to eat one?"

Old Zhu also laughed, turning to stuff a peach into his hand: "You eat too, hurry up, taste it! Next time there's an express delivery, you run faster!"

Xiao Qi laughed: "Don't worry!"

And then took a bite!

Don't mention it, Old Zhu looked at this peach and actually felt a bit guilty—he was old, his teeth were inevitably a bit bad, but the peach looked green and crispy, taking a bite would definitely be refreshing!

He chose an angle, cautiously using his side teeth to take a big bite, and just after chewing, his eyes lit up!

And on this side, Xiao Qi had already finished a big bite with a 'crunch', his whole expression becoming dreamy.

However, before he could say anything, he heard a 'bang' at the door, and someone pushed it open directly—

"Old Zhu! Old Zhu! Where are my peaches!"

"Right! Old Zhu, don't hide! I know you have four boxes!"

"Old Zhu! Old Zhu—"

Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously looked at Old Zhu, only to see him frowning, his expression painful, at this moment one hand holding a peach, the other covering his mouth.

When everyone entered the room, they saw Old Zhu trembling as he spread his hand. Under the bright light of the living room, a bright red mark on it was particularly obvious!

"Oh my!" The old man who had rushed in first wanting to extort peaches was startled: "Old Zhu, why did you vomit blood?"

"What? Vomited blood?!"

"What's wrong with Old Zhu?"

"Hurry, hurry, call a doctor!"

"Hurry, call the phone..."

Everyone crowded over instantly, in a mess.

And Xiao Qi, holding half a peach, had a dull expression—because just a moment ago, Old Zhu had clearly winked at him...

"Xiao Qi, why aren't you moving? Hurry, call someone!"

Until someone pushed him, Xiao Qi finally came back to his senses.

He pretended to look for the phone and rushed into the house. When he turned his head, he saw Old Zhu wink at him, and his heart settled. Without a word, he entered the storage room.

Then he took out the peaches he had just stuffed into the refrigerator along with the box, and silently pressed them under layers of rice, flour, and gift boxes.

His movements were so swift, worthy of being the one carefully selected to enter the mountain! Then he 'crunch crunch' gnawed on the half peach he had left, eating with such satisfaction.

When the time was about right, he finally went out and said nervously: "I just called the doctor, they said they'd be here soon, but first he needs to lie down quietly and not move around."

Thinking for a moment, he added:

"The doctor said the problem shouldn't be big, maybe it's because the weather has been dry lately."

And Old Zhu also vaguely opened his mouth, stretched out his hand, and said tremblingly: "Go back, all go back..."

Perhaps because he had just vomited blood, his heart was weak, and his voice was exceptionally strange.

Everyone's eyes swept over the other half of the peach in his hand, and at this moment, they couldn't help but feel some regret—

Being old, he was easily frightened, was it because they had come too aggressively just now?

But last time Old Zhu was entangled with them, his posture was fiercer than theirs...

Everyone was ashamed and embarrassed, hesitating, finally watching Old Zhu stand up tremblingly to entertain them even after vomiting blood, and couldn't help but walk out the door.

As soon as everyone went out, Old Zhu instantly stood up from the chair, rushed to the gate without a word, and called out to Xiao Qi:

"Hurry, hurry! Bolt the door!"

While saying this, he 'pui' spat something out of his mouth.

Xiao Qi looked closely and was stunned: "Did you lose a tooth?"

"Losing a tooth isn't a big deal..."

Old Zhu spoke with a slight whistle: "At my age, it would be strange if I didn't lose a tooth!"

He nimbly stuffed the peach to Xiao Qi: "Help me cut it!"

While unable to help but stick his eyes on it again:

"This peach is really delicious, right Xiao Qi? Worthy of being my granddaughter, the few outside must have tasted it too and felt one box wasn't enough to share—humph, keep dreaming!"

Oh my, although a front tooth fell out, being the only one with four boxes of peaches, how could he not be happy?

Old Zhu had a great appetite, the peach was cut into pieces and placed in a small bowl, and it was finished in no time, while he complained to Xiao Qi:

"You washed three for me, why did you only cut one?"

Xiao Qi looked at the watch with difficulty: "But it's noon, lunch..."

Old Zhu also 'crunch' bit into the peach inserted with a toothpick, his eyes widening even more: "That's telling you not to eat peaches now, eat lunch properly, what are you doing?"

Xiao Qi:...

He looked at the last one of his three peaches and silently carried the bowl back into the kitchen.

And in the living room, Old Zhu looked at the peach he had just generously promised to Xiao Qi on the table, a touch of heartache flowing in his eyes.

This peach is really delicious, I really want to eat enough of it secretly!

But on second thought: he had four boxes! Only he had four boxes!

And so he was happy again.

He was eating happily, but the group of old partners heard that he didn't even eat lunch, and couldn't help but feel increasingly nervous.

"So strange, why didn't I see the doctor go that way?"

"But he didn't even eat lunch, could the condition..."

"That shouldn't be, hasn't he been having checkups?"

"What's that?" Old Zhou snorted, looking down on these partners who were getting older and whose brains were getting less agile:

"You tell me, who ate lunch? Isn't this peach enough to fill your stomach?"

Everyone got the peaches in the morning, they weren't like Old Zhu, wasting time replying to Moments, they had already 'crunch crunch' devoured two or three...

This wasn't it, seeing that there wasn't much left, they hurriedly came looking for him.

Old Zhou sneered: "I guess, we must have been tricked by Old Zhu! He's perfectly fine!"

"That shouldn't be..." someone analyzed calmly: "We went suddenly, he couldn't have known in advance and acted, right? It's not like we haven't seen blood, it was definitely real."

Old Zhou:...

He was speechless for a moment, and could only argue: "Could it be biting his tongue or something?"

That... also makes sense.

Biting his tongue, he definitely couldn't eat, doesn't that mean the peaches hadn't been touched yet?!

Good heavens!

Everyone's spirits lifted, rubbing their hands, and then looked at each other, each putting on a worried face:

"Let's go visit Old Zhu!"

"Right, have to go see!"

"Old Wu, you were originally the best at being a scout, the heavy responsibility of finding peaches is handed to you!"

"And Xiao Qi, he's been taught too cleverly by Old Zhu, in a bit I'll say I'm uncomfortable, tell him not to be distracted..."

Goodnight.

By the way, the one sacrificed today is a tentacle monster, she doesn't waver for two years... come, cut off her tentacles (self-discipline) for me!
