The place Zhu Tianlei is going to is Zhang Guochun's home.
Time flies so fast, it was already half a year ago since Zhu Tianlei left the Zhang family last time.
At that time, he promised to be Zhang Guochun's apprentice, but until now, his apprentice had not even served Zhang Guochun a cup of tea.
What made Zhu Tianlei feel that it was too much was that he went there this time not to fulfill his duties as an apprentice by serving tea and water to Zhang Guoliu, but because he wanted to know something from Zhang Guochun's mouth.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when the car drove outside Zhang's courtyard.
The yard of the Zhang family is still the same as before. There are two lanterns at the door. Inside the lanterns are oil lamps instead of light bulbs. The light seems a bit strange in the deep mountains and old forests.
"Master."
The door was not closed, so Zhu Tianlei pushed it open and went in. He tried his best to look smiling, and shouted as he walked into the house.
"Master!"
As a result, after Zhu Tianlei entered the door, he directly saw Zhang Guochun lying on the kang, his eyes closed tightly, his face flushed, and his smile immediately disappeared.
fever!
Xiao Hong and Xue Silkworm began to move again, and the mark on his palm also became hot.
No way?
Zhu Tianlei didn't dare to think too much and directly lifted up Zhang Guochun's clothes.
Damn, the disgusting scene appears again.
But it can be seen that the area of the rotten flesh on Zhang Guochun's chest is much smaller than that of Bai Feng, and the degree of decay is also better. The two blood holes are only the size of fingernails.
Zhu Tianlei immediately released Xiao Hong and Xue Silkworm.
In less than five minutes, the two little guys stopped moving.
Zhu Tianlei reached out and touched Zhang Guochun's forehead, and the fever subsided.
Zhu Tianlei filled a basin of water, wiped Zhang Guochun's body and forehead, put Zhang Guochun's clothes back on, and then sat next to him and looked at Zhang Guochun.
Zhang Guochun was already very thin, and now he is even thinner. If he had not seen his face, he would have thought that the person lying on the kang was a teenager. Moreover, his hair was very gray. Before, he had mostly black hair, but now it is
Almost all are white.
"Well......"
More than half an hour later, Zhang Guochun moved and slowly opened his eyes.
"Master."
Zhu Tianlei immediately stepped forward and handed the boiled water that had been drying to Zhang Guochun's mouth.
After drinking some water, Zhang Guochun's consciousness completely sobered up.
"Tianlei, why are you here?"
Zhu Tianlei didn't say hello to Zhang Guochun before he came. He wanted to surprise Zhang Guochun, because when he asked Zhang Guochun for snow silkworms, he knew that Zhang Guochun had no travel plans, but he didn't expect that Zhang Guochun had a high fever.
"Master, what's going on?"
Zhu Tianlei asked directly without any courtesy.
Zhang Guochun was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Zhu Tianlei was asking. He asked Zhu Tianlei to help him sit up, and then leaned against the wall.
"Are you talking about this 'beauty curse' on my chest?"
Beauty curse.
Zhu Tianlei hates cold. To give such a disgusting thing such a name is really disgusting.
"Um."
Zhu Tianlei nodded.
"Ye Hongzhou gave you the blood silkworm?"
Zhu Tianlei was slightly surprised. He had never told Zhang Guochun about this.
"The Beauty Curse lasts for more than five hours each time. It only lasted two hours until I had this attack. Without the blood silkworms, it would have been impossible to wake up so quickly."
"Master, did you already know that blood silkworms can deal with the Beauty Curse?"
"Yes, I'm not the only one who knows about this. Everyone in the four major families knows about it."
This is the second time Zhu Tianlei has officially heard about the four major families. The first time was from Xue Ren.
"Master, what on earth is going on?"
This incident was really beyond Zhu Tianlei's expectation. He did not expect that this incident was related to the four major families.
"Where's Ye Hongzhou? He hasn't told you?"
Zhang Guochun raised his head and looked at Zhu Tianlei.
"Mr. Ye...is gone."
"No more? When did it happen?"
Zhang Guochun sat up straight. This behavior made Zhu Tianlei feel very strange. It seemed that Zhang Guochun was not shocked by the fact that Ye Hongzhou was gone, but that he was more concerned about Ye Hongzhou's lack of time.
"The morning before yesterday."
"The day before yesterday..."
Zhang Guochun repeated this time, and then his whole body seemed to have been suddenly drained of strength, and he leaned against the wall again.
"Master, do you know why Mr. Ye is gone?"
Although Zhu Tianlei and Zhang Guochun have not been together for a long time, and the two were hostile at first, once a teacher, always a father, Zhu Tianlei respects and trusts Zhang Guochun.
"suicide."
Zhu Tianlei's heart skipped a beat.
"Master, what is going on? How do you know that Mr. Ye committed suicide?"
If it were in front of others, Zhu Tianlei might have to make insinuations and make repeated detours, but in front of Zhang Guochun, he really didn't have this need.
"Tian Lei, when did Ye Hongzhou hand over the blood silkworms to you?"
Zhu Tianlei thought for a moment, it should have been a month ago.
"That's it. He probably started to get sick at that time."
"Master, what do you mean..."
Zhu Tianlei didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Because Ye Hongzhou took a bath when he died, and his clothes were brand new from the inside out, he did not change Ye Hongzhou's clothes. Of course, he did not know what changes had happened to Ye Hongzhou's body. Could it be that Ye Hongzhou was afraid of being discovered by others about his beauty?
Did Curse do this on purpose?
"The beauty curse on me started to take effect a month ago."
"Master, that is, Mr. Ye himself knows the Beauty Curse, so why did he hand over the blood silkworms to me?"
What is Ye Hongzhou doing? Blood silkworms are life-saving things. Why should he give them to him?
"That old guy has been proud and proud all his life. How could he be willing to be tortured by the beauty curse? But I didn't expect that this old guy wouldn't wait for a month. He's really cruel!"
"Master, what you mean is that blood silkworms can only relieve the symptoms of the Beauty Curse, but they cannot cure it."
This is almost certain.
"Yes, the beauty curse has no solution. It is a curse, a curse on the four major families."
The Curse of the Four Great Families.
"Master, Mr. Ye told me about the four major families, but it did not include the Zhang family!"
"Tian Lei, the Zhang family's ancestor's surname is Sun, and his ancestral home is Baishan."
What?
What's going on? Is a big family so good at playing tricks that they even change their surnames?
"Two hundred years ago, in order to avoid this curse, our ancestors ordered the entire family to change their surname from Sun to Zhang. Although it is ridiculous, the whole family has indeed changed, from the ancestor who is more than eighty years old to the infant.
The result of the child..."
The result is predictable, I definitely didn't escape.
Don't say whether this curse is true or not. Even if it is true, God is not stupid. If you change your last name, wouldn't he recognize you?
"Master, to be honest, before I came here, I had seen the beauty curse from a person, but he was not from one of the four major families."
"You're talking about the old man's daughter-in-law's sweetheart, right?"
Zhu Tianlei was stunned, but still nodded. (To be continued)
