Chapter 1000 Child's Manic Depression and Older's Considerations
Chapter 1,000: The child’s bipolar disorder and the elder’s considerations
The people of Wujun left the building empty - the people who finally left Wujun belatedly were actually people who had been abandoned outside the entire script.
Zhou Yu was anxious... He didn't know how many times he urged his coachman along the way, but... he couldn't ask for things that were difficult for others, no matter how hard he asked.
Zhou Yu, who was sitting in the car, looked dryly at the passing scenery outside the window, feeling the violent impact of his buttocks... All his unwillingness could only be reduced to a sigh:
"But you must not let anything happen..."
He... was really not sure anymore. The two years of intermittent rest were both a punishment requested by Zhou Yu and Sun Quan's protection of Zhou Yu.
God knows how long Zhou Yu can hold on if he is forced to endure the aftermath of Hefei's defeat. At least...at least when someone is in trouble, his enemies...people like Zhang Zhao...will never look at Zhou Yu in vain.
Stand up again.
Can…
But two years have passed, and this time, Zhou Yu felt an even more exaggerated sense of powerlessness and oppression than before the defeat in Hefei.
He knows who his enemy is...but to some extent, he knows nothing about his enemy...
A terrible thought flashed through his mind, causing him to let out a miserable howl from the ground——
"Uhhhhhhhhh!"
Along with this scream, the sound of an emergency stop came out - the driver was startled by Zhou Yu's voice in the car behind him. He thought something dangerous had happened, so he hurriedly stopped the car.
, immediately turned to the carriage to check Zhou Yu’s situation...
However, Zhou Yu was seen holding his head in both hands, with sunken eye sockets, bloodshot eyes, and pale lips, all indicating his depressed state at this moment.
Or maybe it's not just a state of depression... The driver called Zhou Yu's name softly, but Zhou Yu's reaction became even stronger.
He pulled his hair frantically, showing an extremely painful expression - there was another burst of wailing, Zhou Yu raised his head and howled for no reason at the roof of the car, scaring the driver so much that he didn't dare to say a word.
"Impossible...how is this possible?"
"How could he have such courage... It can't be him, it can't be him... How could it be him... It must not be him... Wuwuwu..."
Zhou Yu kept talking about it, and at the end of it, tears and runny nose kept falling down.
Just looking at this scene, it's hard not to classify this man, whose behavior is extremely weird, as someone with mental problems.
He... thought of a person whom he never wanted to face again.
But that's not his fault. He scolded himself for making unwarranted associations, but he didn't know that his intuition was much more accurate than before.
——
Also starting from Wu Jun, another carriage traveling on the trail took a shortcut and overtook Zhou Yu, who was currently stagnant.
And the biggest difference is probably the atmosphere in the car.
Of course, it was not all smooth sailing for them, there was also an episode before.
As soon as the carriage left Wu County, before the sky was completely dark, facing the faint light of the distant mountains, Li Fu drove off with Xiao Qiao and his daughter.
But before they had gone far, they encountered mountain bandits who were robbing the road. Different from the Shanyue people who could actually form an army, bandits could only be said to be lower-level existences.
But even so, the difference between twenty and three is quite exaggerated.
Not to mention... Xiao Qiao knew that there was no way that he or his father could help Brother Li in the car.
But that's it...Li Fu didn't even hold a bladed weapon.
I just randomly picked a few reeds from the edge of a small pond not far from the road - those thin and long reeds, if they were hit by a sword, they would be broken on the spot - and they were beaten.
The twenty mountain bandits fled in confusion.
Some didn't run far, and some were unconvinced. In the end, they were beaten into a spinning top, which is not worth mentioning.
This little episode came and went quickly. While it didn't cause any trouble to anyone, it actually reawakened Xiao Qiao's cheerful temperament.
She probably felt that there were experts around her. Even if she was in the carriage of someone she met for the first time, even if the future was uncertain, she still felt that it was more comfortable and more enjoyable than staying in the Zhou Mansion.
And Qiao Guolao, who had said nothing much along the way, finally spoke.
"You guys are helping my little girl... But for my family's wealth? After last night, I thought about it for a long time... Listening to your husband's plan... It seems that taking away my two daughters was just a half-way idea. At the beginning... you just wanted to save Sun Shangxiang.
——”
Qiao Guolao was sitting in the car, and Xiao Qiao beside him had been holding his old hand since he got in the car from behind. This made the old man feel a little at a loss even though he was old.
Hearing these words suddenly spoken by his father, Xiao Qiao looked up at Qiao Guolao with some confusion, only to find that his expression was extremely relaxed now... Far more relaxed than when he stayed at home before - what happened?
thing?
But Qiao Guolao hasn't finished speaking yet:
"If it is really because of my pitiful family wealth, maybe your husband will be disappointed. My husband's family wealth is now only firmly controlled by my son-in-law's house. The few properties I have are already donated to me by the other party.
There really isn't much I can do to help your husband at home..."
Qiao Guo's old saying is desolate, and there is naturally some irony in it.
Mainly...mainly because he doesn't really believe that there are people in this world who are willing to help others for free.
In fact, he guessed most of Yi Xiaotian's thoughts correctly.
Yi Xiaotian is indeed not the kind of person who helps others unconditionally. He will only take action when there is a profit... and what profit is, naturally has a very broad definition, so I won't go into details here.
Qiao Guolao is indeed a capable person who has lived for so many years and is still able to run a family and continue the Qiao family's incense. How many people can live a stable life in troubled times? I'm afraid this number is not optimistic.
He has lived for so many years and has been stable for so many years, so he naturally sees things thoroughly.
These words were both a temptation and a sign of weakness.
only…
"Dad! What are you talking about?"
Xiao Qiao was in a daze... She felt that her father was treating a gentleman with a villain's heart. She subconsciously wanted to argue, but was attracted by Li Fu's words in front of the carriage.
"Lao Guo cannot trust my husband, and he has mentioned it a long time ago."
"He asked me to tell you frankly when you were testing me, so as to avoid any misunderstanding between us in the future."
Li Fu's words shocked Qiao Guolao. He instinctively felt that the gentleman in the coachman's mouth had seen through him early. This feeling was not very pleasant...
However, Li Fu didn't stop talking:
"There are two purposes for bringing Mr. Guo to Jianye this time. One is to explain to Mr. Guo the ins and outs of the matter; the other is to allow Mr. Guo to witness the outcome of all these things with his own eyes——"
"As for how the elder Guo thinks about you, I'll let him do whatever he wants. At least...after witnessing the outcome, whether the elder Guo stays or goes, I won't interfere."
Li Fu's words ended here, but this short explanation left a great shock to Qiao Guolao's heart.
