Chapter 71: Jumu is Dead
Chapter 71
Sang Li didn't expect that Xiao Han acupuncturing Gu Zhi would make Gu Zhi spit blood.
At first it was fine, but after a while, Gu Zhi unexpectedly spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Han and Sang Li were both frightened, and could only stop the acupuncture immediately.
"Gu Zhi, how are you?" Sang Li hurriedly went up to support him, inevitably feeling a little self-blame, she was too impatient.
"Sister..." I'm fine..." Gu Zhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"How could you spit blood? It shouldn't be like this!" Xiao Han was also very puzzled beside him.
"Forget it, let's not treat it for now." Sang Li apologized, "I'm sorry, Gu Zhi..."
"Sister, you don't need to apologize, I know you are doing this for my sake, hoping I can recover my memory quickly." Gu Zhi's voice was a little weak.
Sang Li lowered her eyes, and a sense of guilt arose in her heart. She had completely ignored other people's feelings in order not to leave herself a way out.
Although Gu Zhi may have been a young master who couldn't even cook porridge before, he can now cook well for her sake and make food she loves to eat every day.
Even without knowing that he knew martial arts, he would still throw himself into danger to protect her.
Sang Li suddenly felt that she was quite selfish, enjoying other people's kindness, but thinking of driving them away.
Sang Li's heart was filled with mixed emotions. She glanced at Gu Zhi and said, "You should rest well. I won't force you to get acupuncture anymore."
Gu Zhi looked at her apologetically, "Sister, I'm sorry, did I disappoint you? Even acupuncture makes me spit blood, Brother Wu Ying didn't spit blood..."
"..."
Seeing his self-blaming appearance, Sang Li's heart felt somewhat distressed.
"It's my problem, you rest well..."
Sang Li got up and pulled Xiao Han out of Gu Zhi's room somewhat awkwardly.
"It shouldn't be like this! How could he spit blood?" Xiao Han was still talking to himself.
"Forget it, Xiao Han, I was too selfish." Sang Li sighed, "Let's just forget about recovering his memory."
"Sister Li, why do you want Gu Zhi to leave? You don't drive Yu Yifan away, you don't drive Wu Ying away, why do you want Gu Zhi to leave so much?" Xiao Han asked straight to the point.
"I..." Sang Li was stunned by Xiao Han's question.
"You see, one more person eating doesn't cost more, one less doesn't cost less, not to mention he saved your life! And he makes delicious food for you every day, it seems he's also learning embroidery from Xia Miaomiao recently, saying he wants to make you a pair of shoes! But you just want to drive him away, isn't that a bit... ruthless?"
Sang Li lowered her eyes without speaking.
"Ah...Let me tell you, you obviously have feelings for him! That's why you want to drive him away!" Xiao Han saw through it all at once.
"Are you afraid that you will fall for him, so you want to drive him away? Isn't it?" Xiao Han leaned in closer and smiled at Sang Li, "Hehe, I can be this clever too!"
Sang Li was a little confused, "Stop talking..."
"Sister Li, your heart... is in chaos!"
Sang Li looked coldly at Xiao Han, "I told you to stop!"
Sang Li immediately turned and left.
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, muttering to herself, "Sister Li is angry? Tsk tsk... This is really rare to see, I have to go tell Xiaomiao and Mo right away, this is big news!"
Xiao Han ran to Xia Miaomiao's room and saw Xia Miaomiao sewing clothes, simple T-shirts.
Su Mo was next to her helping.
Su Mo had just been with Wu Ying earlier, and after being taken advantage of by Wu Ying, Wu Ying went to practice his martial arts and recover, so she left.
"Mo, Xiaomiao, big news, huge news!" Xiao Han rushed in, her voice particularly loud.
"Xiao Han, it's a pity you didn't become a singer, with your high notes, few can compare!" Su Mo said with a laugh.
"What gossip is it?" Xia Miaomiao asked.
"Let me tell you, Sister Li is angry!!"
Su Mo and Xia Miaomiao both paused and asked at the same time, "Who made her angry?"
"Me!" Xiao Han pointed at herself, speaking very proudly.
"..."
However, Sang Li had never been angry with any of them before, it was indeed big news.
"How did you make Sister Li angry?" Xia Miaomiao asked.
"Hehe, I just guessed her mind, and she got angry out of embarrassment!"
"..."
"She's always wanted Gu Zhi to regain his memory as soon as possible and then leave, right? So I said she has feelings for Gu Zhi, that's why she wants Gu Zhi to leave!"
Xia Miaomiao and Su Mo looked at each other.
"Since when did you become so clever?" Su Mo couldn't help saying.
"The four of us, you're the dumbest, okay? I'm still very clever!"
Su Mo rolled her eyes, stepped forward and pinched Xiao Han's waist, "Say that again?"
"Aiya, a gentleman uses his mouth not his fists! You're already so beautiful, being a little dumb doesn't matter!"
Su Mo flipped her hair, snorted and said, "That's better!"
She can say she's dumb, but definitely not ugly!
"So does Sister Li really like Gu Zhi?" Xia Miaomiao asked from the side.
"I think she must have feelings for him, otherwise why would she want Gu Zhi to leave so much?" This is obviously 'protesting too much'!"
The three of them stroked their chins thoughtfully. "Then she must be going to find Gu Zhi's family to take him away!"
...
The next day, Sang Li went to find Zhu Mu again as expected.
However, she waited at the gambling house for half a day and didn't see Zhu Mu.
"Sister Li, Zhu Mu probably ran out of money, so he didn't come to the gambling house." Yu Yifan said.
Sang Li paused, "Do you know where his house is?"
"I know, are you going there?"
"Yeah, lead the way."
The two went together to Zhu Mu's house again.
Zhu Mu's house was on a farm not far outside the city.
The somewhat shabby wooden door was still open now.
Sang Li and Yu Yifan walked to the door and looked inside. They saw a lot of weeds growing in the yard.
Sang Li walked over and knocked on the door several times, but no one answered.
"Sister Li, it looks like no one's home." Yu Yifan instinctively pushed the door, and it was pushed open.
Yu Yifan was stunned, and shouted inside, "Zhu Mu, are you home?"
Still no answer. Sang Li pushed the door open directly and walked in.
The light shone in and the figure lying on the ground not far away came into view.
"Ah!" Sang Li was startled.
"What's wrong?" Yu Yifan walked in and saw Zhu Mu lying on the ground, and was also shocked.
Sang Li steadied her mind and walked over to squat down and feel Zhu Mu's breath.
"Zhu Mu is dead!" Sang Li immediately retracted her hand.
"Huh?" Yu Yifan also squatted down immediately to feel his breath.
Indeed dead!
