Chapter 22: “Fish! Is that you!”

Ever since Wu Zheng stole the family’s passbook, which inexplicably evolved into a hooliganism incident and landed him in the police station, he had been scolded by his mother and told to reflect on himself at home.

Later, he finally softened things a bit, obtained his mother’s forgiveness, and promised never to be a hooligan again and never to pinch a strange girl’s wrist purple. Only then was he released.

He hadn’t seen Chen Yu for a long time, and he was extremely worried. He sent him countless BBBBBBB messages asking where he was.

He didn’t reply for two days.

Wu Zheng’s alarm bells rang loudly. He mobilized countless networks of relationships, from government relatives to hooligans and ruffians, and finally found out.

He had been accidentally shot while performing a mission, and was choked unconscious by the fire while rescuing the masses. During the examination at the Central Hospital, his vital signs were almost 0, so he was urgently transferred to the City Military Region General Hospital, which had more experience with gunshot and explosion injuries, for rescue.

After rushing there, he heard that he had died for a short time during transportation, but soon miraculously came back to life. Then he had an operation to remove the bullet and was in a coma for two days.

The doctor said that he had woken up in the middle, and there was no danger of coma, but he might have lost too much blood, so he would sleep longer. When he woke up, he should eat more food to replenish his body.

Wu Zheng accompanied his childhood best friend with heartache, making detailed plans to buy him good food and meals to replenish his body.

Until he woke up…

A terrible transformation occurred.

In Wu Zheng’s words, Chen Yu, who was originally slow and methodical, only clumsy with his words and not very good at speaking, suddenly seemed to be possessed by an old turtle after waking up! He was slow to a fault!

If he wanted to raise his hand to drink some water, it would take more than a minute from reaching out to take it to drinking the water.

Not to mention going to the toilet, going to the toilet might require calculating the time like in a war, and setting off half an hour in advance.

The doctor examined all of his organs and said that there were no problems at all, guessing that he had injured his nerves when squatting in the snow before. The sequelae hadn’t shown up, but they showed up after being shot.

He should be able to get better by resting at home, and it wouldn’t delay him from living even if he didn’t get better, so don’t worry too much.

In other words – the hospital can’t cure it, go home and heal slowly… if you can’t heal, get used to it.

How could Chen Yu get used to it?

He was so angry at himself that he sat on the side of the bed, propping his head and dazed, sighing from time to time… and it was a slow and long: Sigh.

Wu Zheng didn’t do anything while accompanying Chen Yu in the hospital these past few days, he just picked up laughter.

But early this morning, a younger brother in the hospital said that there were hooligans in Xiushan Village recruiting people to work. They would give ten yuan for the hard work if they went, and twenty yuan for those who put in effort, asking Wu Zheng if he wanted to go.

Wu Zheng, who had been uneducated since he was a child and had strong parents’ backgrounds, walking sideways in this township, could be said to be a hooligan boss. He didn’t lack those ten yuan, and politely refused the younger brother’s kindness.

But later, sitting in a chair, he repeatedly recalled it, feeling that something was wrong.

Xiushan Village?

Fortunately, he decided to come over and take a look. As soon as he came, he saw this chaotic scene. Sure enough, it was the matter of their Old Chen family!

The guarding hooligan saw him not retreating but advancing, hurriedly picked up the wooden stick at hand, rushed over and smashed it on his leg!

The man reacted quickly, raising his leg and kicking the wooden stick, and punching the hooligan in the face with his backhand. As the hooligan screamed and fell with blood flowing from his nose and mouth, he also obtained the wooden stick.

He weighed it in his hand, looking at the other dozen hooligans who quickly came out after discovering the situation.

At this time, a military jeep came from outside the courtyard.

As the car door opened, the man in the car was tall and strong, but his movements when getting out of the car were a bit slow.

At this time, Wu Zheng saw that Chen Yu could still fall behind while driving a four-wheeled car, and then slowly got out of the car with a worried expression. He still couldn’t help but laugh inappropriately.

Over here, Chen Yu supported his bullet-wounded leg with a livid face. When the hooligan who was keeping watch outside tried to stop him, he kicked one over and then clutched his thigh and took a breath.

His gunshot wound hadn’t healed properly.

Wu Zheng picked up another laugh, watching a hooligan come over to attack him again. He raised his hand to grab the other party’s clothes and directly slammed him to the ground, and at the same time, he took off his helmet, looking at them coldly.

“Come, who else wants to fight, come over together!”

“Brother Zheng! It’s Brother Zheng…” A hooligan immediately stopped the others who were about to attack after seeing his face, hinting that this master couldn’t be provoked, and repeatedly bowed, “Sorry, we didn’t know this place was covered by Brother Zheng!”

“You didn’t know? You know now.” Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows, giving them a way out, “This is my wife’s family. Maybe you’ll have a chance to come here for a wedding banquet in the future. It’s not good to hurt the harmony.”

“Brother Zheng! Happy forever! We wish you a happy forever! We’re just doing things for money! We didn’t see anyone! We didn’t touch the sister-in-law! We’re leaving now! We’re leaving now!”

“Wait.” Wu Zheng pointed to the mess in the house with a stick, “Is that all?”

The leader bit his teeth and took out the five hundred yuan that the employer had given him from his pocket, “That’s all… Brother Zheng…”

“I’ll take it as your gift.” Wu Zheng pocketed the money, waving his hand, “Get out.”

A group of hooligans ran away in a panic.

One of the watchmen stole a chicken and stuffed it in his clothes, and was beaten on the head until he put the chicken down before leaving.

Chen Yu also finally limped into the courtyard.

The small shoes and a few pieces of clothing that were hung up, as well as some scattered corn cakes that were not well-shaped, all indicated… that Shen Rongrong had been living at home recently.

But the two of them searched the house inside and out countless times, all the way until the sun went down, but they couldn’t find anyone.

Wu Zheng was anxious and went out to ask from house to house.

Only Chen Yu, who couldn’t walk far, was left wandering around the house… Finally, he found a few hurried small footprints next to the large water tank in the backyard, as well as some water stains after drying.

Countless scenes of the little girl being pressed into the water tank and drowned appeared in his mind in an instant, and Chen Yu’s face turned pale.

This time, even the turtle was scared fast, and he hurriedly went over to lift the lid of the water tank.

Then he saw that the water in the water tank had been emptied, and the little girl, who always got into trouble, was curled up inside the water tank, with a shallow smile on her face, breathing steadily, and even snoring softly.

It’s not that Shen Rongrong was to blame. She hadn’t noticed this thing before. Today, when she shrank into it, she felt… cool and the size was just right. It was as if her long-lost shell had returned!

The more she lay in it, the more comfortable she felt, and she accidentally fell asleep.

And his lifting the lid made her grunt and open her eyes.

The moonlight was quiet. She raised her eyes and saw the man standing against the light. After rubbing her eyes, she gradually raised her hand in a daze and touched his face, exclaiming.

“Fish… is that you!”

“Yeah.” Chen Yu nodded, just about to bend down and take the little girl out of the water tank.

He saw her suddenly pounce on him, hugging his neck tightly and sobbing in a low voice, “Boo… today is your seventh day, you’re back to see me…”

Chen Yu:?

Seventh day?

When did he die???
