Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"First let Tiezhu ask Wuzi and the others to keep an eye on Xixi. We don't know when it will happen, so we can only do this for now. Wang Fu can actually come to the village to find the child, so they must be in the nearby mountains. Could it be in Dongshan? The last time Fourth Uncle went to Dongshan, we couldn't keep up. By the way, there is also Fourth Uncle's child. We can find out first, maybe it will be of great use." Yu Congcong analyzed carefully in his mind.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the house. Yu Congcong opened his eyes alertly and looked towards the door. Tiezhu walked in slowly, holding a half-bowl of black Chinese medicine.

"Congcong, it's time to take your medicine." Tiezhu walked to the bedside, sat down with a spoon, and prepared to feed Yu Congcong the medicine.

Yu Congcong stared at the bowl of medicine and listened to Tiezhu shouting, "Congcong, drink the medicine." She couldn't help but think of the scene in "Water Margin" where Pan Jinlian fed Wu Dalang poison: "Dalang, drink the medicine." She felt frightened and shrank back into the bed in fear.

"Congcong, are you afraid that this Chinese medicine is bitter?" Tiezhu stared at Yu Congcong's every move, looked at her expression, and asked with concern.

Humph, nonsense, who is not afraid of the bitterness of Chinese medicine! Yu Congcong muttered to himself.

"Congcong, it's not bitter." Tiezhu comforted softly. How could she not cry? You are lying to a child! Yu Congcong complained in her heart again.

"Host, you are just a child!" This system actually knows how to make fun of people. Do I need to reshape its memory database?

"Tiezhu, leave it alone for now. When it cools down a bit, I'll drink it all in one go." Yu Congcong said. My God, the Chinese medicine is so bitter, but he still wants to feed me spoonful by spoonful. He wants to make me suffer to death! At this moment, Yu Congcong's face was full of resistance and helplessness.

"Okay!" Tiezhu stood up with some regret and put the medicine on the table in the room.

"Tiezhu, how much do you know about the two children of Wang Fujia's family?" Yu Congcong asked Tiezhu.

"Wang Fujia, doesn't he have only one child?" Tiezhu was a little confused and didn't understand why Yu Congcong said that his family had two children.

"Oh, I'm talking about the daughter-in-law he bought and his son." Yu Congcong explained.

"As for them! I don't know much about them. Wu Zi and the others may know more." Tiezhu thought for a while and replied.

"Well, then tell me what you know first." Although I learned the general situation from the system, it is still more specific when heard from a person.

"Well, I only know that the purchased daughter-in-law is called Xixi, and I don't even know her last name. I heard from Wu Zi that when she registered yesterday, she wanted to have the last name Fu, so the police registered her as Fu Xi. As for Wang Fu's son, I know even less about him. I heard from Sixth Grandma that this son usually ignores his father. As soon as his father comes back, he hides outside. Once, she saw Wang Fu looking for him, so he hid in the haystack. Wang Fu looked for him two or three times by the haystack, and passed by him two or three times, but he didn't make a sound or come out. She also said that Wang Fu was not a human being. He killed his two mothers in front of the children, and no one knew about it? He also lied to others that he died of illness." Tie Zhu said in a low voice with an unpleasant expression.

"Oh, it's too horrible. What kind of shadow will this leave on the child's mind?" Yu Congcong couldn't help but sigh with sympathy.

"This is not quite accurate. We can't trust everything Sixth Grandma says." Tiezhu regained his expression and said uncertainly.

"Well, Tiezhu, let Wuzi and the others keep an eye on Xixi these days. But don't leave her alone. I think Wang Fu will definitely come back to find his son, so we have to keep an eye out." Yu Congcong instructed Tiezhu.

"Okay, I'll go now." Then he was about to run out.

"Come back, have you forgotten what your father told you?" Yu Congcong said angrily.

"Oh, I'm just anxious." Tiezhu explained.

I was anxious, but I couldn't put myself in danger. I didn't know where the little eagle had gone. He disappeared after being besieged by wolves. "Yu Congcong was full of doubts, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed deep worry. Tiezhu didn't dare to speak, and wondered in his heart whether Congcong knew that Grandpa Nan had left and the little eagle had gone with him. If she didn't know, and I told her now, would she cry like she did this morning? Tiezhu was very conflicted.

"Forget it, let's put it aside for now. We shouldn't be that unlucky. Wang Fu won't show up this afternoon. Go practice your martial arts!" Yu Congcong's tone was full of helplessness. He sighed slowly, then waved his hand weakly.

"Okay!" Tiezhu turned around silently and went out to practice.

Yu Congcong sat alone in the room, her eyes confused, thinking and analyzing, all kinds of thoughts intertwined in her mind. As she thought, her eyes gradually closed, her body slowly relaxed, and she finally fell into a deep sleep.

Tiezhu first ran a few laps in the yard as fast as the wind, and then, as if tireless, he practiced the boxing techniques taught by Grandpa Nan over and over again. The sun slowly moved westward, the sky gradually darkened, and Xiaocao came back with a basket of heavy eggplants on his back and a basket of fiery red peppers in his hands.

Seeing this, Tiezhu hurried over, took the peppers from Xiaocao's hand, and strode towards the kitchen.

"Grandma, didn't you say that you picked eggplants and peppers to dry them? Why did you come back so late?" Tiezhu was full of curiosity and eagerly asked his grandmother what delayed her.

"Grandma, that's what I thought at first, but who knew that the leaves of the autumn beans had already withered. I didn't have time to check on them these days, and now I see it's terrible. If I don't water them, wouldn't it be a waste of time? So I went to water them." The grass replied while sighing softly.

"Congcong, are you asleep in the house?" Xiaocao asked softly with a concerned look on her face.

"Yeah, I'm asleep." Tiezhu responded softly, his tone gentle, as if he was afraid to disturb the sleeping person in the house.

"Has your Grandpa Liu come to visit?" There was a hint of concern in Xiaocao's voice.

"He came and I prescribed a Chinese medicine for him. Congcong's wound healed well, so I stopped giving him Western medicine." Tiezhu's answer was brief and clear. His eyes fell on the ground, as if he was recalling the scene when Grandpa Liu came.

"Well, it's better to take Chinese medicine. Western medicine is too scarce here." Xiaocao sighed helplessly, with a bit of regret and helplessness in his eyes. He felt helpless and powerless about the scarcity of Western medicine.

"Mom, I'm back." Yu Dazhuang dragged his extremely tired body and said weakly. He walked slowly into the house, as if every step weighed a thousand pounds.

"Well, you're back just in time. The food will be ready soon." Tiezhu and Xiaocao had just finished preparing the food when Yu Dazhuang also happened to return.

"Congcong, how are you? Is the wound inflamed?" Yu Dazhuang asked with concern.

"Uncle Dazhuang, Grandpa Liu said the wound is healing well and there is no sign of inflammation at all." Tiezhu answered first, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Well, that's good. I was worried that the mess in the morning would cause the wound to become inflamed. Now it's good that's not the case." A look of relief finally appeared on Yu Dazhuang's face.

"Well, Da Zhuang, how are the arrangements going over there?" Xiao Cao's voice was soft but a little anxious.

"Well, everything has been arranged, but I don't know how to deal with the child's affairs?" Yu Dazhuang replied with a frown and a worried look on his face.

"Well, go get Congcong and let's eat first! There's too much to worry about all at once." Xiaocao instructed softly, with gentle comfort in her tone.

"Okay." There was a sound of heavy footsteps, and Yu Dazhuang strode towards the lush bedroom.

"Congcong, are you awake?" Yu Dazhuang asked as he walked to the window. Then he walked into the house.

"Dad!" Yu Congcong called out in her soft, baby voice. It turned out that Yu Congcong woke up after her grandmother came back, but she didn't open her eyes. Instead, she pretended to be asleep and talked to the system, trying to understand the current situation of the world.

"Well, Daddy will carry you to dinner, okay?" Yu Dazhuang's tone was particularly gentle. Then, he bent down, carefully held Yu Congcong in his arms, and walked towards the kitchen. As the sun set, the afterglow stretched the figures of the father and daughter, and this scene was like a portrayal of the beginning of a happy life.

"Dad, Grandpa Liu said that my wound has healed well. Can I get out of bed?" Yu Congcong asked cautiously.

"Dad can't make the decision on this. You have to ask your grandma." Yu Dazhuang made a helpless expression and started practicing Tai Chi.

"Hmph, then can't you help me persuade my grandma?" Yu Congcong started to act coquettishly, shaking Yu Dazhuang's arm with her left hand.

"Congcong, although the wound has healed well, it has not healed completely yet. You should stay in bed for two more days. Wait until the wound is completely healed." Yu Dazhuang comforted helplessly.

"Why are you begging your father again?" Grandma's voice came from the kitchen.

"Grandma!" Yu Congcong called softly and then said nothing more.

"Nothing. Yu Congcong was bored lying in bed. I was thinking of taking her to the ancestral hall tomorrow to arrange for the children." Yu Dazhuang blinked at Yu Congcong and responded to Xiaocao's question.

"Okay, the house may not be safe. We are the number one target of revenge for the fourth uncle." Xiaocao said as she put the food on the table. Yu Dazhuang held Yu Congcong and sat down at the table. Tiezhu quickly sat down next to Yu Congcong.

"Congcong, here you go." Tiezhu handed the spoon to Yu Congcong.

"Hmm." Yu Congcong took the spoon and smiled sweetly at Tiezhu. Tiezhu happily picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of eggplant for Yu Congcong. Grandma specially made eggplant sauce for Yu Congcong tonight without chili, while they had chili for their own.

"Tiezhu, how was your practice this afternoon? Is there anything you don't understand?" Yu Dazhuang asked casually as he picked up the bowl and chopsticks, his eyes still fixed on the food on the table.

"Uncle Dazhuang, not at the moment. I've been getting better and better at practicing this afternoon. There's nothing I don't understand." Tiezhu quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and answered loudly.
