Chapter 894
What did Zhou Hanzhi say to Old Man Sun?
What did he ask me to do? Besides asking Old Man Sun to play chess with me to distract me from my wild thoughts, what else did he ask me to do?
My mood, which had finally calmed down in the past few days, began to fluctuate again after Old Man Sun said these words.
My heartbeat started to become irregular again.
I looked at the old man in front of me: "Zhou Hanzhi...what did he say?"
As soon as I said this, I realized my voice was dry and trembling.
Meng Nanxu, you really have no future at all. I've said that you and he are just friends, ordinary friends. If there is anything special, it's just that you owe him a favor. Do you have such emotional fluctuations when you mention him?
But I really want to know what Zhou Hanzhi did and what he can't let me know.
Next to me, Wu Ling looked at me, then looked at the arrogant old man Sun, stood up silently, and left after saying, "It's quite hot today. Old man Sun, I see you have enough ingredients here. So, I'll make a bowl of ice jelly and small taro balls for everyone to cool down."
She walked away on purpose. I wanted to call her, but I couldn't distract myself at the moment. My eyes were fixed on Old Man Sun's mouth, waiting for him to speak anxiously.
"Okay, Xiao Lingzi, remember to put some brown sugar in my bowl. I need to replenish my energy and blood recently." Old man Sun didn't answer my question first. He actually went to tease Wu Ling seriously.
Wu Ling rolled his eyes at him: "I'll give you some pig liver to make it more nutritious."
"Oh, that won't do. That won't do. How can you put one sweet and one salty together? Don't do that." Old man Sun took it seriously and warned anxiously.
Wu Ling looked disgusted: "Okay, get down to business!"
"Old Man Sun, don't change the subject! Just say something!" I became anxious too, and pulled Old Man Sun's sleeve hard.
This old man, why does he like to keep people in suspense like this? When the words are on the tip of his tongue and people want to hear them, he deliberately changes the subject, intentionally making people anxious!
Old Man Sun was scolded by Wu Ling and had his sleeve pulled by me, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he slowly turned around and looked at me with a smile: "Silly Xuxu, why are you so anxious?"
I was stunned by his sudden words, and my cheeks quickly became hot.
Old Man Sun continued with a smile: "Didn't you say that you have nothing to do with my stupid disciple? Didn't you say that you don't care about him at all? Then why are you so anxious now?"
These words pierced my heart directly. My face was hot and swollen. I opened and closed my mouth for a long time before I squeezed out a sentence: "Who, who is anxious? I really don't care about him. I, I really, really have nothing to do with him!"
"Really? Well, since that's what he said, you shouldn't care about what he said. Let's not talk about it. I'm going to watch Xiao Lingzi make ice jelly and taro balls. This girl, please don't really put pork liver in my bowl." Old man Sun was usually sticky and hesitant, but at this moment he was unexpectedly cheerful.
He really got up and left when he said he was leaving.
I stood up with a whoosh, not caring about the pain in my ankle. This time I grabbed the back of his Taoist robe and pulled him over.
Old man Sun was unsteady and he sat back in his chair with a thump.
He didn't seem to expect me to do this. He widened his small eyes and said in surprise: "Hey girl, why didn't I see that you are so strong before?"
I have always been thin, a little frail, and actually don't have much strength. This was just the strength that came out of my being too anxious.
My face was hot and swollen, and I held my breath. With this force, I roared out from my throat: "Speak!"
"Oh, your voice is so loud!" Old man Sun seemed to be really scared by me, and his wide eyes were full of shock.
But this time he seemed to have learned his lesson. He stopped teasing me and held my arm to coax me: "Okay, I say, don't stand anymore. You might hurt your feet again. Sit down and I will explain it to you slowly."
My heart was pounding wildly and I hadn't yet recovered from my anxiety. I twisted Old Man Sun's sleeve and refused to let go, staring at him intently.
I think there must be knives in my eyes at this moment.
Old man Sun cured Nannan's poison and healed my foot injury. Although he and I seemed to be laughing and joking on the surface, I was always grateful to him in my heart. No matter what, I shouldn't have treated him like that.
But I couldn't control myself. I really wanted to know what Zhou Hanzhi had done.
Old man Sun sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. His tone had changed from his previous playful smile to a calm one. "Silly Xuxu, do you think I am just idle and trying to bring you two together? I just can't bear to see two poor kids being delayed by misunderstandings and missing each other."
Old man Sun always likes to say that Zhou Hanzhi and I are a couple. Although I have corrected him many times, he seems to have amnesia. Even if I take out the photo of Xiao Ye from my phone and show him, and tell him that we are engaged and that this is my legal fiancé, he always agrees on the surface, but next time he still links Zhou Hanzhi and me together, which makes me very angry.
Later, I really didn't have the energy to explain, so I just let him talk.
This was the first time he talked about this matter seriously, and I was a little uncomfortable at first.
"My silly disciple is actually very smart, but why do I say he is silly, and why do I accept him as my disciple?" Old Man Sun continued, "You can see that my Taoist temple is more like a small mountain courtyard built for myself. It is such a remote place, and apart from a few mountain folks who occasionally come to borrow a bowl of water to rest, no one usually comes.
But he actually found me and asked me for help with a bunch of things. "
The Taoist temple where Old Man Sun lives is indeed very remote. Although Taoist temples are usually located in deep mountains and old forests, he is in Lin Province, and this Taoist temple is really located in a huge deep mountain and old forest. The area is vast and sparsely populated, and few people would come here.
Of course, someone who would go to so much trouble to find Old Man Sun must have something important to tell you.
I have already guessed what Old Man Sun is going to say next: "Are you trying to say that he asked you for help because of me? Old Man Sun, is it possible that you misunderstood? He may have admired you for a long time and wanted to make friends with you, so he asked you for a medicine?"
Old man Sun had said before that the first time Zhou Hanzhi came to him was to get medicine for me, and he therefore concluded that Zhou Hanzhi loved me deeply.
But I didn't think so. I thought he had misunderstood and exaggerated the facts.
It's impossible for Zhou Hanzhi to go to such great lengths for my sake. It's very likely that he was just doing me a favor.
"Conveniently?" Old Man Sun glanced at me and suddenly sneered, "I've never seen anyone not take the antidote for himself first, but give the tonic to an outsider first. Would you do a favor like this?"
