Only this green, not disappointing the spring

The news that the third son of the Zhou family was about to die spread throughout Huaihua Village overnight. It shouldn't be long before the news spread to villages that had relatives of Huaihua Village.

In this remote little place, every day is the same and there is rarely anything new.

What happened to the Zhou family was like throwing a stone into a pool of stagnant water. The creatures that had been lying motionless in the water began to become lively.

Three days had passed since Zhou Jun's accident. Li was traveling back and forth between the clinic and Huaihua Village all day, and she had no time to care for anything else except treating her husband.

The Zhou Xiaoxi sisters took on all the chores at home, and the originally lively and playful Zhou Xiaonan grew up overnight.

It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the crops would have to be harvested soon, which made Zhou Xiaoxi feel troubled.

Even though she had a soul of over thirty years old living in her body, her body was only twelve years old and so frail that a gust of wind could blow her down.

The work in the fields is tiring and requires experience. How could she, who only knew how to type on a keyboard in her previous life, know how to farm?

After finishing the housework in the afternoon, Zhou Xiaoxi took her sister to see her grandfather to discuss matters in the fields.

It was almost evening, and the girls and daughters of the village gathered by the river to wash clothes, taking advantage of the cool weather.

When Zhou Xiaoxi and her sister passed by the bridge, everyone who was originally laughing and chatting suddenly fell silent.

Everyone put down the mallets they were using to beat clothes in unison, looked up at the two of them, with a hint of disgust in their eyes.

Zhou Xiaoxi felt very uncomfortable being stared at. Why were people staring at them like they were monsters?

Their father is just sick, he hasn't turned into a zombie to harm people, what are these people thinking!

Hit the nail on the head!

It has now spread quietly in the village that Zhou Jun may have been possessed by a ghost, otherwise why would he faint and never wake up?

Maybe he has been possessed by an evil spirit, and his family must be contaminated by something unclean.

After hearing these rumors, many elders in the village hurriedly called their children to their side, repeatedly urging them to stay away from the Zhou family.

If he gets contaminated by dirty stuff and becomes like Zhou Jun, there will be no way to survive!

It's really ironic. Knowing that there is no way out, they still try their best to block the way for the mother and her two daughters.

Spreading rumors is the cheapest but most lethal method of killing in the world!

Standing on the bridge, there is still a distance between you and the crowd, so it is not considered rude not to say hello.

So Zhou Xiaoxi just smiled at everyone, held his sister's hand tightly, and quickened his pace towards his grandfather's house.

Resisting the urge to turn around and glare at everyone, the two sisters walked faster and faster. Those strange looks seemed to become real, burning her back.

Zhou Xiaoxi went to his grandfather's house but found it empty. They guessed that he should be enjoying the cool under the big locust tree at the east end of the village, so they went to look for him.

Before they got close, someone with sharp eyes saw them.

Under Zhou Xiaoxi's stunned gaze, he quickly picked up his own stool and ran home, still shouting in an attempt to cover up his mistake:

"Oh, the old lady at home should have prepared dinner. I have to go back quickly, otherwise her nagging will be so annoying..."

The experienced Zhou Xiaoxi vaguely guessed something.

The villagers' attitude clearly showed that they didn't want to see the two sisters, as if they were avoiding some bacteria or virus.

Could it be related to her father's illness? Why? Her father just suffered brain damage and lost consciousness, not the plague!

The branches of the huge Sophora japonica tree were covered with clusters of white flowers, and the fragrance should have been refreshing. But Zhou Xiaoxi felt that the fragrance was too strong and she was a little breathless.

Looking at Old Man Zhou's right hand resting on the small stool, the blood in her body almost ran cold.

This is the original owner's grandfather, her father's biological father, and yet he is so ignorant and cold-hearted!

Taking a few deep breaths and suppressing his anger, Zhou Xiaoxi tried his best to speak calmly.

"Grandfather, my granddaughter wants to discuss something with you."

Old man Zhou is really afraid of this granddaughter.

Despite her young age, she speaks in a cold and aloof voice, staring at people with her big eyes, as if she can see through everything they are thinking.

The third brother was obviously dying, and this horrifying rumor spread in the village. He really didn't want to see the three of them.

When Old Man Zhou first heard the rumor, he was very angry.

Who on earth is so heartless and making up rumors? The doctor in the city clearly said that the third child had blood clots in his head and his brain was damaged. How could it be said that he was possessed by an evil spirit? !

But, the third brother was fine and didn’t fight with anyone, so why did he have a bruise on his head? Could it be that the quack doctor made up his mind?

Old man Zhou slowly stood up holding the small stool in his right hand, walked a few steps under the locust tree, and then spoke impatiently,

"What do you want to discuss with me, little girl? If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't waste time. I still have to go to your uncle's house for dinner."

Zhou Xiaoxi spoke expressionlessly:

"Dad is sick, and Mom is already overwhelmed by taking care of him every day. My sister and I have to take care of all the chores at home, but we can't do the work in the fields. As the autumn harvest is approaching, I really can't think of a solution, so I came to my grandfather for help."

Another trouble!

Old man Zhou’s brows were so furrowed that they could pinch a fly to death.

"The farm matter is a big deal. Don't worry about it as a kid. I'll go back and discuss it with your uncles."

After saying that, he left briskly without even saying goodbye.

"Sister, what's wrong with everyone? Are you disgusted by the smell we have because we haven't showered?"

Zhou Xiaoxi and the others really had no time to take care of themselves during these three days, but how could the reason be so simple?

Zhou Xiaoxi's mouth was full of bitterness.

"Silly child, you think too much. Let's go home. Parents will be back soon. We need to prepare dinner quickly."

It was not until the sky was only pale as a fish's belly that the only donkey cart in the village slowly returned to the village.

Old man Liu, who was driving, thought that today would be the same as the previous few days. After the Zhou brothers carried Zhou Jun back to the house, he could go back and have a good rest.

Although I only go to the city and back every day, the waiting time is too long and very tiring.

I didn't do anything, but I felt very tired. I didn't even want to eat when I got home, and I fell asleep as soon as I lay down.

But something went wrong right at Zhou Jun's doorstep.

Xiaoxi girl said that the two brothers of the Zhou family were sick and bedridden at home and could not help carry Zhou Jun.

Although it sounded strange, he didn't think much about it. He wanted to ask two men from the neighbors to help, but he didn't even knock on any door.

I could hear the laughter of children in the yard just now, but why did everything go silent when I knocked on the door?

Old Man Liu was totally confused. Could it be that all the people in the village were possessed by evil spirits?
