The Young Emperor and the Fearless

Everyone looked back, and one person walked in slowly from the open gate of Cao's house.The visitor staggered and walked with a cane. His temples were white. He was an ancient and rare old man.

Aunt Cao knew her well, and she seemed to dislike her very much. She looked disgusted and said, "Old sister, what are you doing here?"

He Li asked, "Who is she?"

Aunt Cao introduced with a face full of reluctance: "My eldest sister, Mrs. Cao."

The old man was also from the Cao family, but she was widowed in her early years and lost her son in middle age. Although she was in the same family as Aunt Cao, she was not treated well by Aunt Cao, who thought she was an unknown person.The old man lives alone in a simple thatched hut. Fortunately, he is old and does not suffer from any disease. Except for a little inconvenience in movement, he basically takes care of himself.

The relationship between Aunt Cao and the old man seemed not harmonious. Aunt Cao just looked at the old man twice, then she turned her head away, unwilling to have eye contact with her again. She was even extremely impatient, rubbing her hands and murmuring Shouting something.

The old man heard it, but he didn't care. He slowly moved in front of He Li and the other three, and said, "I heard that you want to investigate Miss Zhou's affairs, and I just have something to say. You guys, follow me."

The old man walked slowly, out of good intentions, He Li wanted to support her, but when he just met the old man, he was pushed away.The old man said in an uncompromising tone: "Although I am old, I am not old enough to rely on others. Also, the one at the back, don't follow."

The old man looked very strong, but he just looked behind him out of the corner of his eye and stopped Aunt Cao's attempt to follow.

When she was at Cao's house, Aunt Cao wished that the old man would leave quickly, but she seemed to be very concerned about what the old man had to say, and wanted to find out.But she was deflated in front of the old man, and she turned her head back in despair.

The old man took them to Zhou's house. When Zhou's parents saw the old man, they stood up quickly to greet him, took a chair for the old man to sit down, and poured a glass of water for him.

While she was drinking water, Zhou's father explained to He Li: "The eldest sister is the benefactor of the Zhou family. On New Year's Eve more than ten years ago, a child set off firecrackers and set our house on fire. At that time, we We've already fallen asleep, and we don't know at all, if the eldest sister didn't wake us up, our family would probably be dead."

Zhou's mother said: "The eldest sister is lonely. I wanted her to move in with our house, but she refused. Now that we live here, there are many people in the family, and it is convenient for us to take care of each other."

The old man took a sip, put down the cup, and then slowly said: "It's not a family, what's the point of living together, I'm fine alone."

Father Zhou said, "But that thatched cottage..."

The old man said: "What's the matter with the thatched house, I live comfortably in the thatched house."

Father Zhou sighed, "Eldest sister, why are you bothering?"

The old man waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. The child Yingxue had an accident yesterday, and the murderer didn't know who it was. Yingxue's matter should be the most important thing. You feel uncomfortable, and my old lady feels even more uncomfortable. So A good child, obedient and well-behaved, although she is a bit stubborn, but kind-hearted. I just saw her yesterday, and I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. "

Zhou's parents obviously didn't know that the old man had visited yesterday, and they opened their mouths in surprise.

The old man continued: "I came to Zhou's house yesterday. At that time, Yingxue was still bouncing around and her face was flushed. However, we had a quarrel because of one incident."

Zhou's mother was puzzled and said: "Big sister, Yingxue has always been very attached to you and respects you, why are you arguing?"

The old man sighed faintly, and said: "There is something about Yingxue that you don't know about. I don't know if you still remember the doctor who rescued Yingxue?"

Zhou's parents nodded and said, "If it wasn't for that miracle doctor, Xue'er's illness would not be cured."

The old man said: "That's right. When the doctor was treating Yingxue, he said that he would go with him after she recovered from her illness. But before Yingxue recovered, he left on his own."

The miracle doctor they talked about was interested in Zhou Yingxue, but Zhou Yingxue didn't express his opinion at the time.Although Zhou's parents recognized his life-saving grace to Zhou Yingxue, they thought that the miracle doctor's whereabouts were strange and he was not someone to rely on. They worried that Zhou Yingxue would suffer hardships if he wandered around with the miracle doctor, so they tactfully rejected the miracle doctor.

Father Zhou said: "Since then, the genius doctor has been very depressed. Even when he saw us, he didn't say hello. Later, when he left, he didn't mention it to us. He disappeared so suddenly. Eldest sister, why did you suddenly mention this?"

The old man said: "He came back yesterday."

**

For some reason yesterday, the old man felt a tightness in his chest, and he always had a bad premonition.She also got up early and was restless in the hut, so she went to Zhou's house.

Around Chen Shi, Zhou's parents had left the house, and only Zhou Yingxue was there.However, when the old man knocked on the door and entered, there was one more person in the room.

That person is the doctor who treated Zhou Yingxue two years ago.

However, the old man has a bad memory and did not recognize people for a while.She thought that the Zhou family had been thieves, so she raised her crutches and greeted the doctor.

The doctor was hit twice, and screamed in pain, Zhou Yingxue quickly reacted, pulled the old man into the room, and explained the reason to him.

The old man took a good look at the doctor, the seven-foot man looked like a gentleman, he really didn't look like a bad person.But the old man still couldn't remember what the doctor looked like two years ago, and he couldn't match up with the person in front of him.

Zhou Yingxue said: "The doctor passed by by chance and wanted to ask for a glass of water at home, so I asked him to stay. Mother-in-law, you came just in time. Stay at noon and have a meal together."

The old man kept staring at the doctor and nodded.

Zhou Yingxue laughed, her eyes were full of autumn water, which made the doctor stunned for a moment.After a while, the doctor asked: "Miss Zhou hasn't left the cabinet yet, but why?"

Zhou Yingxue said: "I'm not quite benevolent. Although there are only a handful of people who come to my house to propose marriage, the few who come here either want me to marry and become concubines, or their families are poor and cannot guarantee their future life. Those people in the first place were rejected by me, and the latter ones cannot be passed by my parents."

The doctor said: "Miss Zhou, do you have someone in mind?"

Zhou Yingxue shook her head: "Not really. I just want to be like my eldest sister and marry a family who treats her wholeheartedly. I don't dare to think too much about the rest."

The doctor swallowed secretly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Later, when Zhou Yingxue went to the back kitchen to boil water, the old man was still staring at the doctor intently.

The doctor felt uncomfortable being stared at, and asked, "Old man, do you have something to tell me?"

The old man said: "If you still want to make Yingxue's idea, I advise you, forget it."

The doctor's face froze, and he said cautiously: "You...see it?"

The old man said: "I'm already at this age. I haven't seen such a big storm. I've seen a young man like you. It's impossible for Yingxue to follow you to endure hardships and live without a fixed place."

The doctor said: "Old man, you misunderstood. I didn't want Miss Zhou to wander around with me. If Miss Zhou is willing to follow me, I can settle down and stop wandering around the world."

The old man said: "It's easy to say. Let me ask you, are your parents still alive? Do you have money to allow Yingxue to live a stable life?"

The doctor said: "My parents passed away when I was a child, and that's why I became a doctor. After I became an adult, I began to travel around the world, just to do my best to help patients. When I met Zhou Girl, for me, it is an indescribable fate. Two years ago, Zhou's seniors rejected me, and I made up my mind to let Miss Zhou go, but two years have passed, and Miss Zhou has not left the cabinet. It's the chance God gave me. Old man, I really want to marry Miss Zhou..."

The old man said: "Young man, I am not the only one who disagrees. Yingxue's parents also don't agree. You know why. Just now you said so much, but you didn't answer my question directly. That's because you didn't agree. There is no guarantee that after Yingxue marries you, you will let her live comfortably, right?"

The doctor hastily explained: "That's not the case. As long as Miss Zhou marries me, I will treat her wholeheartedly. I can stay in Qingcheng, open a pharmacy, and earn money from medical treatment. I can make her live a good life... "

The old man interrupted impatiently: "At the end of the day, that's all for the future. What about now? You have nothing, maybe you can only be a son-in-law who is married. Wouldn't that make people around laugh?"

The doctor didn't want to give up easily, and said: "Old man, Miss Zhou also said just now, if I want to find someone who is sincerely good to her, I can do it..."

The old man interrupted loudly: "That's enough! Although I am not from the Zhou family, I can still speak in the Zhou family. You have cured Yingxue's old illness, and you are her benefactor. I don't deny it. The family can also give you money, thank you for your kindness, but the Zhou family will never marry Yingxue to you!"

The doctor is anxious: "Old man!"
