Chapter 574 Zhou Zhaozhao is dead
Seeing smoke rising from several houses, I knew it was indeed time for dinner.
Gu Chaoxi touched her stomach. She was really tired from walking from the village to the cave.
"Ayan, let's go back for dinner. You shouldn't go out at night."
She was too lazy to move. It would be better to go to the cave during the day, otherwise the yin energy would be too heavy.
Besides, she felt that this plane should not be very complicated.
"Okay." Pei Yan agreed to her and went towards the direction of his residence.
For the entire afternoon, the others basically did not leave their residence and were always helping to make offerings.
After dinner, Gu Chaoxi moved a stool to the door and sat on it, fanning himself leisurely.
When the old lady came out after cleaning up the dishes and saw her like this, she was so angry that she almost threw the stool in her hand directly at Gu Chaoxi's head.
The open space in front of the door was still filled with things that had been drying during the day, and the old lady was now collecting them into the house one by one.
After packing up all the things, seeing that she was still in a leisurely state, I finally couldn't help but point at her and scold her.
"Why did I raise a thing like you? You don't do anything, you just enjoy yourself all day long, and you don't have any rules at all."
"I'm telling you, go to bed early these days and don't think about going out and having fun."
"If someone tells me about this, I'll beat you up!"
The situation is getting more and more serious. What can she do?
Waving the fan at the old lady, Gu Chaoxi pouted: "I know, I'm not deaf, I heard everything, go and have a rest, old lady!"
The old lady was so angry that she cursed under her breath, walked into the house and half-closed the door.
Gu Chaoxi didn't sit at the door for long. As the sky gradually darkened, he moved his stool and went back in.
The lights in the room were on, so she went back to her room and lay on the bed in a daze.
He raised his hand and turned off the lights in the room.
It was quiet outside, and the same was true in the house, but Gu Chaoxi felt that this night might not be so ordinary.
As I was thinking, I fell asleep.
By dawn, the old lady had already started making breakfast.
She got up from the bed, washed up slowly, and when she finished and sat in front of the table, the old lady had already brought breakfast and placed it on the table.
Obviously he had some opinions about Gu Chaoxi, but he didn't say it out loud.
She didn't say anything and Gu Chaoxi ignored her and just kept eating.
After finishing my meal, before I even stepped out of the door, I heard the sound of running approaching outside, and the person seemed a little anxious.
She walked out of the house and saw Qi Chuzhao standing at the door, gasping for breath.
"what happened?"
"Someone drowned last night. It was a child."
After Qi Chuzhao finished speaking, he pointed in the direction of the river.
Gu Chaoxi felt his scalp tingling for a moment. Zhou Zhaozhao was still a child, it couldn't be!
An ominous premonition came to her mind, and she immediately grabbed Qi Chuzhao's arm and went in that direction: "Take me to see it, quickly."
"Yeah!" The two of them quickly walked towards the river where the accident happened.
Pei Yan and a few others had already gone over there, and Qi Chuzhao came over specifically to call her.
When we got to the river, there were a lot of people gathered around it, and it was obvious that someone was in trouble.
Qi Chuzhao took her and squeezed inside. Pei Yan turned his head and saw her coming, without saying a word.
The person lying on the ground had a pale face, his body was wet, his clothes were sticking to his body, and he had stopped breathing long ago.
Looking closely, it was indeed Zhou Zhaozhao.
Gu Chaoxi staggered a bit, but fortunately Pei Yan reached out and grabbed him, so he didn't fall.
She looked down at the stone at her feet, kicked it away with mixed feelings, and looked at Zhou Zhaozhao on the ground again.
How could this person, who was clearly still alive in front of them yesterday, end up in trouble in just one night?
Although I can't quite understand it, I can only accept this result.
At one side, Doctor Zhao was half-kneeling on the ground examining.
Finally, he looked up at the crowd watching: "He must have slipped and fallen into the water, and then drowned."
There was a spot by the river where there looked to be some dirt marks left by someone slipping, but other than that there was nothing else.
If it wasn't a slip, it's hard to imagine who would kill a child of that age.
Dr. Zhao shook his head, stood up from the ground, and patted the dirt off his knees.
"This child has a bad fate. Let's bury him as soon as possible."
After saying that, he picked up his small first aid box and walked outside.
The villagers still respected Dr. Zhao and immediately made way for him.
Gu Chaoxi glanced at Dr. Zhao and then looked away.
Although I felt that Dr. Zhao was unusual, I couldn't put my finger on it.
Pei Yan tugged at her wrist, motioning her to look in the direction Dr. Zhao was going.
If you walk back to the village from that road, you can pass by Zhao Xiuxiu's house.
The two looked at each other, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd to follow.
Shen Lan saw the two of them leaving, thought about it, and followed them.
Luo Zijia was stunned for a moment, but still followed after him.
When Dr. Zhao reached the fork in the road, he stopped and looked to the right.
If you go to the right, you can walk to Zhao Xiuxiu's home.
Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan stopped and looked at Dr. Zhao to see which way he was going.
After hesitating for a while, Dr. Zhao headed towards Zhao Xiuxiu's home.
Gu Zhaoxi curled his lips and pulled Pei Yan's sleeve: "Let's go to his house and take a look."
Shen Lan and Luo Zijia followed behind, and just as they were about to join them, Gu Chaoxi looked back.
Shen Lan was stunned. Seeing her raise her hand and point in the direction of Doctor Zhao, she immediately understood and took Luo Zijia to the direction of Doctor Zhao.
The two men followed all the way, and Dr. Zhao indeed entered Zhao Xiuxiu's home.
The two of them ran to the corner to eavesdrop.
When Xiuxiu's mother saw that it was Doctor Zhao, she immediately came over to greet him: "Oh, Doctor Zhao, why are you here in person?"
"I came to see if Xiuxiu is feeling better."
As he spoke, he smiled at Xiuxiuniang.
Xiuxiu's mother wiped her hands on her clothes and smiled kindly: "Much better. I drank the medicine you gave me and went to bed early last night. I looked better this morning than yesterday."
Zhao Xiuxiu heard the sound, opened the door and came out of the room, looking a little upset.
Seeing that it was Doctor Zhao, he greeted him: "Hello, Doctor Zhao, thank you for the medicine."
He smiled and looked at Xiuxiu's mother again: "If it's convenient, I'll take Xiuxiu's pulse."
"Hey, okay, okay!"
Doctor Zhao has been in the village for many years and his medical skills are trustworthy.
What's more, Zhao Xiuxiu was about to offer sacrifice to the Dragon God, so nothing could go wrong with her body.
On the other side, Shen Yao, Qi Chuzhao and others were also heading towards Dr. Zhao's house, not far behind Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan.
When several people arrived at Dr. Zhao's house, they began to inspect the rooms on both sides.
