Chapter 172 Inquiry
The old man looked behind for a while, then turned and left.
He knew that this man was not as simple as she seemed on the surface, and this was the reason why he saved Zhou Hao, and only an identity like him could protect his granddaughter.
Zhou Hao knew that things were not easy this time, and he had to bring Jiang Lanxin back home safely no matter what.
He will also handle things here as quickly as possible.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao wanted to scold Lu Hui again. If it was not because of him, so many things would not have happened, but after thinking about it, it was because of the development of his company in the capital. Zhou Hao swallowed it again. Dirty words on the lips.
Zhou Hao also felt that someone was watching him behind him, thinking about it, he was also the old gentleman today.
The old gentleman's demeanor is that he is not raised in a small mountain village. Thinking about it, someone who had to come here because of something happened, counting the two of them as having the same disease.
Zhou Hao stayed outside for a while because he was worried that Jiang Lanxin, who was inside the house, went back.
Looking at Jiang Lanxin who was lying on the bed, she was still flushed.
Zhou Hao was anxious but helpless, and touched Jiang Lanxin's forehead. At any rate, the fever had subsided. Zhou Hao planned to take Jiang Lanxin out of here after the fever subsided tomorrow.
The gentle sunlight spilled into the house through the window, and the dappled light hit the ground, presenting a strange and beautiful scene. The little girl sneaked into the house to observe the two strangers who came to their house suddenly.
Zhou Hao had already been awakened by the little girl's voice, but he couldn't hold back and didn't make any movement, wanting to see what the little girl was going to do.
Maybe the little girl was just curious and didn't take any other actions. After observing for a while, she left here. Soon the old man's voice sounded outside the house.
"What did you do? Look at this dirty body, go wash up and come back to eat first."
"Grandpa, what about those two people?"
"They, they will come over by themselves when they wake up, so you don't have to worry about them."
The old man took the little girl into the house, and the outside of the house returned to calm.
Zhou Hao held Jiang Lanxin in his arms, and a lot of thoughts flashed through him for a moment. If it wasn't for this time, he probably wouldn't know that he cared about Jiang Lanxin so much.
The temperature of Jiang Lanxin next to her has slowly dropped, not as hot as yesterday, which also made Zhou Hao feel relieved.
If the temperature on Jiang Lanxin's body was still as hot as yesterday, Zhou Hao felt that the two of them might really die here.
Although Jiang Lanxin is still in a coma, Zhou Hao has become calm at this time, not as anxious as yesterday.
At this time, the little girl sneaked in again.
As if he was asking if there was any movement between Zhou Hao and the two of them, Zhou Hao touched Jiang Lanxin's forehead, then got up and walked out with the little girl.
"What are you doing here?"
"Do you want to eat the rice left by grandpa outside?"
Zhou Hao was dragged into the room by the little girl, and saw the food left on the table.
Zhou Hao knew that this time he really owed the father and grandson a kindness.
If it weren't for the grandfather and grandson to take her in, he and Jiang Lanxin would probably lose their lives because of it now.
After Zhou Hao finished eating, he helped the little girl tidy up the house, and seeing the brand new cabin, Zhou Hao was quite satisfied.
Suddenly there was a soft hum from the main room, Zhou Hao hurried over, and Jiang Lanxin woke up.
Looking at Jiang Lanxin's hazy eyes, Zhou Hao first asked Jiang Lanxin, "Are you okay now, do you want some water?"
Jiang Lanxin was blindsided by Zhou Hao's series of questions, "Where are we now?"
"Don't worry, we are safe now, those people can't find us."
After hearing Zhou Hao's answer, Jiang Lanxin was relieved. She was afraid that they would all be locked up because he would implicate Zhou Hao.
"Where is this place? This is a small village I found along the lower reaches of the river. Don't worry, it's safe here. Those people won't be able to find it. You had a high fever before and now it's gone. Take some medicine later. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get well without a doctor here."
Jiang Lanxin nodded lightly, her throat is very sore now, like a fire is burning.
"You wait here. I'll bring you a bowl of porridge and drink some porridge. It will also make you feel better."
He looked at Jiang Lanxin's uncomfortable appearance, and wished he could bear the pain for Jiang Lanxin.
At this time, the little girl brought Jiang Lanxin a glass of warm water in time. Jiang Lanxin glanced at the little girl gratefully, "Little friend, what's your name?"
"My name is Xu An."
The little girl is timid and afraid to talk to strangers.
Although she looks like this, she still captured Jiang Lanxin's girlish heart.
"Is that Xu An? Then you stay here and chat with your sister for a while, and I'll go out for a while."
An An nodded cautiously. Just by looking at him, Zhou Hao knew that he rarely communicated with outsiders, and he didn't know how the old man raised this child.
To be able to cultivate her into such a simple appearance, Zhou Hao left An An in the house to accompany Jiang Lanxin, while he went outside to pack his things.
He wanted to use those things outside to make porridge for Jiang Lanxin, otherwise Jiang Lanxin didn't know what to do with her weak appearance.
Just when Zhou Hao was worrying about the big pot of the 80s, the old man came back.
The old man looked at Zhou Hao in the kitchen as if he didn't see him, he walked into the backyard, put all the herbs he picked, and started cooking herbs after a while.
"What should I do with this pot and stove, old man? I don't know how to use it."
Zhou Hao rarely showed a bit of embarrassment on his face.
The old man didn't show any other expression, "Come and take a look with me."
The old man took Zhou Hao to the kitchen, as if he casually mentioned some news about the outside world.
"Recently, there has been some unrest outside. People who don't know where they came from have started to ask if there is any news about strangers entering here."
Zhou Hao knew that the people who chased and killed him probably came here to inquire about the news.
The old man and Xu An are the only Chinese people in this village.
And the only ones he could rely on were these two people. The old man naturally noticed the change in Zhou Hao's face.
"Don't worry, old man, I won't sell you out yet."
"Old man, we will definitely repay your kindness and virtue. If we need help, we will definitely do it."
The old man didn't know if he heard Zhou Hao's words, but he was still filling the pot with firewood without saying a word.
