"No, I'm very convinced." He sighed sincerely.
Not to mention that he is still a patient, even if he is in good health, he would not dare to eat ice cream in this weather.
At least respect the climate...
Han Zhou complained in his heart and looked up at the status bar that only he could see.
[Name: Han Zhou]
【Intelligence: 7】
【Charm: 7】
[Physical strength: 3 (weak)]
[Skills: Efficient learning, good at cooking, fast reading, healing from chronic illness, powerful throwing]
[Current status: Dying (modified) → Dying: Ten breaths remain, can survive for one day, and will enter the dying state after 24 hours]
[Status bar level: 2, current points remaining: 1]
Looking at only a few points, Han Zhou sighed in his heart. He didn't know when these days would end. He didn't hate staying with Gu Zheng, but he couldn't stay by his side for the rest of his life, right?
But if he doesn't hang around the opponent and get the two points from the daily task, he won't be able to maintain his "dying state" and he won't be able to survive.
Although Petofi said that life is precious and love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away. But compared to freedom, he still prefers life, so he can only survive on the guzheng for now, and at the same time increase his search efforts to see if there are any new unlockable characters.
If it can be found, then maybe life, love and freedom will all be found...
Han Zhou was thinking happily, and suddenly felt that the panel in front of him was a little strange. Except for the few points left, everything else gave him a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
"Han Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Gu Zheng's confused voice sounded in his ears.
Han Zhou fell into deep thought and murmured: "It's nothing, I just feel like I've been castrated..."
"Castration?" Gu Zheng's face turned red and he almost spit out the ice cream in his mouth. He choked, "Ahem, cough, cough, what stupid things are you talking about!"
Han Zhou didn't respond. He looked up at the clear sky. The feeling of disharmony in his heart became stronger and stronger, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
Forget it, if you don’t understand it, just don’t think about it.
He put his thoughts back and had almost finished shopping. It was time to complete today's daily tasks. When he got two points, he could live another day.
Seeing that Han Zhou was silent, Gu Zheng was a little unhappy. She followed his gaze to the sky and muttered: "I feel like today shouldn't be such a sunny day."
Han Zhou was stunned and turned to look at her: "What day should that be?"
"Who knows, it might be a rainy day."
Gu Zheng didn't think much. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She pointed to a food stall not far away and said excitedly: "There are hand cakes there. Come on, let's go try it!"
Han Zhou said helplessly: "Didn't you realize that you have eaten enough today? You will have dinner later."
"There are at least three hours until dinner, and I will be hungry by then. Let's go!"
"Wipe your mouth first."
Han Zhou sighed and took out a tissue, but Gu Zheng didn't seem to hear him and ran towards the cart selling hand cakes with a cheerful expression. He had no choice but to speed up and follow.
He didn't know if he really didn't sleep well last night. He felt that his body was not very flexible. When he walked to the cart, Gu Zheng had already paid and was watching the stall owner making hand cakes.
"I bought you one too." The girl said with her eyes bent.
Han Zhou handed her the tissue, shook his head and said, "I can't eat, so wipe your mouth."
"If you can't eat, give it to me." Gu Zheng took the tissue and looked at him suspiciously, "You must be too weak. How can any boy have an appetite as small as yours?"
"It should be said that no girl has an appetite as big as yours."
"What's wrong with eating more?" Gu Zheng said dissatisfied.
"I didn't say it was bad." Han Zhou smiled, "Just don't get upset."
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes, and then continued to stare at the aunt making hand cakes.
Han Zhou looked around, feeling an indescribable trance in his heart. He suspected that he might have been studying too hard these past few days and was exhausted physically and mentally, so he had these strange feelings from time to time.
At this moment, he saw a family of three walking not far away. The parents were a pair of middle-aged people. The man was serious and the woman was smiling. A little girl with her head hanging down walked between them, holding both hands. They were held separately, struggling from time to time, as if they were not used to being held like this.
The woman looked down at the girl with angry eyes and asked in a gentle tone: "What's wrong with you kid?"
"What else can you do? If you don't buy a new toy, just make a fuss. There are so many toys at home that you don't play with. You always want new ones. You keep doing the same thing every time. You can't keep this kind of temper anymore." The man said sternly.
"Let's talk about it when we go home."
The woman smiled bitterly, whispered a reminder to the man who seemed a little angry, and then looked apologetically at the passers-by who were looking around, with a gentle look on her face.
"If we have candied haws at home, our children will stop making noises after eating them."
After hearing what the woman said, the little girl stopped struggling and seemed to be really attracted by the candied haws, but she still looked unhappy.
It turned out that the kids were just having a quarrel... Everyone looked away and ignored this family duo that could be seen everywhere on the street.
Han Zhou felt something was wrong and couldn't help but glance at the three people. Suddenly he raised his brows and focused on the little girl, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng looked along his line of sight, and immediately saw the little girl being led, her eyes lit up and she said, "What a cute child!"
It’s no wonder that Gu Zheng is so excited. She has no resistance to cute things, and this girl is indeed quite cute, but maybe because she couldn’t buy her favorite toys, her eyes are a little dim and she looks listless. , looks distressing.
Han Zhou stared at the girl for several seconds and suddenly said, "She seems to be sick."
"sick?"
Gu Zheng was stunned, and before she could ask clearly, she saw Han Zhou quickly walking up to the little girl and blocking the way of the family of three.
Seeing someone blocking the way, the man suddenly frowned, and the smile on the woman's face became a little unnatural, and asked: "Excuse me, is something wrong?"
Han Zhou hesitated for a moment, then said: "Hello, can I see your child?"
"What do you want to do?" The man's eyelids twitched and he looked at him with an evil look.
"I suspect that the child may be sick. If you have time, it's best to take her to the hospital for a check-up."
"What did you say?!"
"I said this child..."
"roll!"
The man interrupted Han Zhou fiercely and said angrily, "My child is very healthy. Where is the disease? Get out of here!"
Han Zhou stopped looking at him, and patiently looked at the woman beside him who seemed to be easier to talk to, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I know my words may sound presumptuous, but please believe me, this child is really sick. It’s best to take her to the hospital for a checkup sometime.”
Seeing many people stopping and standing nearby to watch, the man seemed a little anxious and said angrily: "You're not done with this, are you? Mother, take your daughter away!"
As he spoke, he pushed Han Zhou away.
At this moment, a figure flashed into the crowd, and the man's thick arm was immediately firmly grasped by a hand that looked significantly smaller. It was Gu Zheng who was rushing over.
"What do you want to do?" She looked at the man opposite her with unfriendly eyes.
The man was startled and wanted to pull out his arm, but the girl's strength was so amazing that he couldn't move at all. Seeing more and more people coming to watch nearby, the panic in his eyes flashed away, and he yelled: " This guy suddenly came over and said my daughter was sick, what did you want me to do? "
"It's true. My daughter has been healthy since she was a child. How could anyone curse her into the hospital as soon as she came up?" The woman held the girl in her arms, held her head down, and explained to the onlookers with aggrieved expression, "I My husband is impatient, he is just too excited."
Gu Zheng didn't believe what these two people said. Han Zhou definitely had his reasons for saying this. He snorted coldly: "I heard it just now. My friend just reminded you to take your child for a checkup when you have time. It is necessary for you to react so loudly. "And this child does look uncomfortable, can't you parents tell that?"
The woman was startled and hugged the child harder, pressing the other person's head tightly into her arms, as if she was afraid that others would see the child's face.
Han Zhou frowned slightly.
"Even if she's uncomfortable, it's our family matter. It's none of your business. Just take your hands off her!"
The strength of the guzheng was too great, and the man couldn't pull it out no matter what. Seeing that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, maybe in order to calm down the matter as soon as possible, he had to change his attitude, took a deep breath and said, "I said, little girl, don't you If you let me go, how can I take my daughter to the hospital?”
Gu Zheng said nothing and turned to look at Han Zhou.
"Let him go, I'm fine." Han Zhou said.
Only then did Gu Zheng let go, and at Han Zhou's signal, he made way for the three of them to leave.
Looking at the three people leaving, she asked doubtfully: "You just let them leave like that?"
Han Zhou shook his head: "Follow me and have a look. I suspect there is something wrong with these parents."
"I knew it was like this... You saw something was wrong with these parents early on, so you stopped them on the grounds that the child was sick?" Gu Zheng looked at Han Zhou in surprise.
She also thought there was something wrong with the parents, but that was after seeing what had just happened.
"Roughly the same……"
Han Zhou coughed dryly. The fact was that he didn't notice anything wrong with these two people at first. He only saw that the child was sick through "Long Sickness", but there was no need to explain, and he also There's no way to explain it.
"Let's go, follow up and take a look."
Gu Zheng nodded, quickly trotted over to take the hand cake from the stall owner, took a big bite, and then followed the family of three with Han Zhou.
It was said to be following, but in fact, it was more of observation. As the two followed, they felt more and more that these two middle-aged men did not look like the girl's parents. They never let go of the girl's hands along the way, like a pair of human handcuffs.
And they had no intention of going to the hospital. They bought two bottles of water on the way, but the girl didn’t get a share. While one person drank the water, the other person was responsible for holding the girl, which seemed quite wrong.
Han Zhou and Gu Zheng looked at each other, suspecting that the parents might be human traffickers, and immediately chose to call the police.
"Do you want me to go and take care of them?" Gu Zheng asked in a low voice.
"No, what if the others are really a family? Keep following us. If nothing happens, wait until the police arrive."
Han Zhou glanced at her and said, "Also, we are far away, so you don't have to talk into my ear."
"I...I'm afraid you won't hear me."
Gu Zheng's face turned red, and then she realized that she was so close to Han Zhou at some point. She quickly distanced herself and took a bite of the hand cake pretending to be calm.
After following for a while, the crowd around them became increasingly sparse, and a van suddenly drove up in the distance, parked next to two middle-aged people, and opened the door.
It could be seen that the girl was obviously resisting getting into the car, but she was forced to get in by two middle-aged men, a man and a woman.
Seeing this scene, Han Zhou and Gu Zheng were completely convinced that they were definitely not the girl's parents!
They also knew that they couldn't wait any longer. After all, they couldn't be sure where the car would go. If it couldn't be found, they would be in trouble, so they immediately rushed to the van.
They had just noticed that, including the driver, there were a total of four adults in the car. Unless these guys had guns on them, they would not be enough to pose a threat to the two of them——
This comes from the confidence in the guzheng's martial arts.
Of course, even though he knew the strength of Guzheng, Han Zhou still repeatedly emphasized that Guzheng should be careful. Swords, guns and sticks are not very discerning, and you will suffer losses if you are not careful.
He's not as fast as Gu Zheng, so his first priority is not to stop the van, but to report their current location to the police again.
