Chapter 124: The Police Uncle Has Arrived

  "Good girl, quickly tell Grandpa Gu about it, you used to pee on Grandpa's body when you were little."

  Gu Zhimiang knew that Yang Cai was using him as a gun to attack her father's position, but he couldn't help his curiosity and finally said: "Your affairs will be taken care of by Master Gu..."

  "Really? Thank you, Grandfather Gu."

  "Wait a minute, things aren't as simple as you think."

  "Your father's temper is not something you're unaware of, this thing needs to be done slowly. Besides, even if you want to be a war correspondent, there has to be a news media that needs you to go, right? Does Zhou Nan Daily or Zhou Nan TV need you? These days, even in Africa, there aren't many big battles, at most it's just internal conflicts of small countries, do you think there's any news value?"

  Ginger is still old and spicy. Yang Cai has been shouting about becoming a journalist for many years, that was her biggest dream, but the nature of dreams is often unrealistic, and she didn't consider the practical difficulties; all she saw was the halo on war correspondents' heads and the stimulating career, the glorious side of being famous overnight, but never thought whether there were media outlets that needed her.

  Huaxia is not like the US, acting as a global policeman, stirring up trouble everywhere. Every time they send out a large army, there are always a group of male and female war correspondents following behind, either messing around with the soldiers or getting pregnant by them. As a result, every time they return in "victory", not only does the military not reduce its numbers, but it even gains new recruits; who needs her anyway? Even CCTV rarely sends out this kind of war correspondent.

  So Gu Zhiwei's words were like a direct hit to her weak point, causing her to furrow her eyebrows in distress for quite some time before finally saying: "Alright then. Anyway, you help me with my dad's work first. Once I get the chance, I'll leave!"

  "It's settled then! Now you can speak?"

  Gu Zhimi secretly thought to herself, "This little girl is still so naive."

  "Haha, little Guo, is this your granddaughter? She's grown up so much..."

  Yang Cai was about to 'sell' Zhou Yi when he saw an old man in a long gown smiling and entering the courtyard. The old house of the Gu family would not be locked until evening, anyway, there were guards outside and servants and maids inside. They weren't afraid that someone would dare disturb the old man, but this old man walked in without anyone stopping him, which was also an unusual thing.

  However, Yang Cai soon understood. The old man behind him was none other than Gu Shu's second secret? With his guidance, the old man could walk in unimpeded. It wasn't surprising after all.

  Who is this old man? Yang Cai knew that the second secret was also a figure who called the wind and rain in the provincial capital, but looking at him being cautious and flattering in front of this young-faced old man with white hair, it's clear that this old man is not simple.

  "Hey, Old Ye, you're still alive?"

  Gu Zhimi was taken aback when he saw the old man, and then burst out laughing. He spoke very rudely, opening his mouth to mock him.

  "Haha, don't look at the fact that you're eight years younger than me. But just because of my reputation as a legendary medicine king from an older generation, I'll be walking behind you. Don't worry, little Gu, when your time comes, big brother will definitely burn more paper money for you..."

  This old man also retorted with a sharp tongue, his words were even more venomous than Gu Zhiwei's.

  Yang Cai's eyes widened in shock. She thought to herself, "What kind of people are these two old men? Can they really talk like this?" But she didn't know that older people have this kind of temperament. Whether it's in the city or countryside, when elderly men and women gather together to bask in the sun, they secretly compete with each other to see who can live longer. If someone doesn't show up because they drank too much the night before, someone will immediately say, "Is that person gone?" On the surface, it sounds like they're just talking, but deep down, they're actually concerned. After all, when one old friend leaves, there's one less of them.

  These two old men in front of me are also like this, they have been friends for many years. When fighting the devils back then, Gu Zhimi was seriously injured and his life was saved by the man in front of me; he is not an outsider, but rather Ye Dechu, a renowned master of traditional Chinese medicine and the so-called "king of medicine" who had just acknowledged Zhou Yigang as his disciple.

  "Secretary Hu, there's nothing for you here, you can go back first."

  Gu Zhiwei sent away his son's second secretary, and with a smile, he invited Ye De Cao to sit down, saying: "Old brother, do you still recognize this little girl? She is Old Yang's granddaughter. When she was full moon, you even gave her a gold necklace."

  "Oh? Is it Xiao Cai Zi?"

  Although Ye De Cao is already over 70, he still has a strong body and good memory. He immediately recalled things from back in the day: "Hehe, we've all grown up so big? Little Guo, it seems like we're both old now."

  "Hello Grandpa Ye."

  "That golden necklace Yang Cai still had it, hearing that the old man was not an outsider, she quickly and cleverly called out 'Grandpa'."

  "Alright, alright..." Ye De Cao chuckled and pulled out a small box from his bosom, stuffing it into Yang Cai's hand: "Take it, this is Grandpa Ye's gift for meeting you, it's something good."

  "Grandpa Ye, what's this thing?" Yang Cai opened it and saw that there were six medicinal pills inside the box. She was a bit puzzled in her heart - who would give someone medicine as soon as they met? This old man is really something.

  "Hey, don't underestimate this thing. This is called 'Hui Chun Dan', normally carrying it on your body can prevent mosquitoes, and at critical moments eating it can save lives. But my old man used dozens of precious medicinal materials to refine it, and he himself doesn't even dare to eat it normally."

  "However, Grandpa wants to remind you that if your boyfriend drinks wine, don't give it to him by any means. In case he eats this medicine after drinking and does something foolish, don't blame Grandpa Ye."

  "Grandpa Ye, look at what you're saying." Yang Cai's face turned bright red despite her strong personality. This old man was a bit too much, showing no respect for his age.

  "Yè old brother, are you kidding me? Sending someone's big sister back to Chūn Dān? Ah, I don't even want to mention you."

  "Right, big brother, you didn't come just to see me this time, did you?"

  The two brothers haven't seen each other for over a decade, and Ye Dezhu hasn't come to visit him either. Gu Zhimi doesn't think he has such great charm.

  "Hehe, you think you're a beautiful old lady? I'll come over just to see you?"

  Ye De Cao said with a hint of pride: "To be honest, I met a medical genius a few days ago. Originally, I wanted to take this young man under my wing, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be my grandson whom I had never met... This kid is also an oddball, not practicing medicine in the city, but instead running off to the mountains to play hermit. I'm planning to go live with him for a few days, give him a chance to show some filial piety, and incidentally, raise his social status. As for coming to Zhou Nan this time, one reason is that it's convenient to take a plane, and two, I also wanted to drop by and see if you're still alive."

  "Yún shuǐ shān qū?" = "Cloud Water Mountain District?"

  Gu didn't have the mood to savor the nuances of his words, and as soon as he heard that Ye Lao wanted to go to Yunshui Mountain, he was taken aback.

  "Uh... Old Man Ye. What's your disciple's name again?"

  Yang Cai also found it strange and thought to herself, "It can't be this coincidental, right?"

  His name is Zhou Yi.

  As soon as Ye De Cao mentioned the name of Zhou Yi, he saw that Gu Zhi Wei and Yang Cai had strange expressions on their faces. He was also taken aback: "What's going on? Do you know my precious grandson?"

  "Old Master Gu, the person I was talking about is Zhou Yi."

  "What? Is that the Kitchen God who made pickled radish? It's actually Ye Lao Ge's disciple?"

  Beyond expectations and surprisingly delicious.

  "Little Guo, what are you guys talking about? I don't understand..."

  Yede grass is getting more and more confused as I listen to it. What's with the kitchen god pickling radish? Are these two old and young people suffering from dementia or something?

  The I Ching is in trouble now.

  Two policemen from the south of the province arrived at Yunshui Village in a broken police car. As soon as they saw someone, they asked if there was a person named Zhou Yi living here?

  The two policemen were full of vigor, with justice and determination written all over their faces. They had secretly made up their minds that once they found the fugitive named Zhou Yi, they would cuff him without saying a word and take him away directly. When they got back to Fen Nan, they would give him a good scolding! Damn it, while others were traveling to big cities for work, this guy had forced them to venture into the mountains, taking that long, winding yellow dirt road. It was a wonder they hadn't been shaken to death.

  "What's up? You're looking for Old Man Zhou?"

  The first to respond to the two policemen was Village Treasure Second Fool: "Police uncles, what are you looking for Old Man Zhou?"

  "What else can happen? He's committed a crime, we need to take him back to the police station." A certain detective fumbled with the handcuffs on his waist, revealing his identity.

  "Divide the south... catch my uncle Zhou..."

  Two village fools suddenly shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, someone is coming to arrest Old Man Zhou! Everyone come out and see, Old Man Zhou is a good man, why should he be arrested?"

  "Damn it! Who's got the guts to come to Yunshui Village and arrest 'Mr. Zhou'? I'll fight him to the death!"

  The first one who rushed out was Li Dazhuang. His wife had a difficult delivery and it was Zhou Yi who saved her, so to speak, Zhou Yi was his benefactor.

  "Who wants to catch Mr. Zhou? This is seeking death!"

  "It's done! When our Cloud Water Village was deserted? Everyone come out and see who caught whom today!"

  What prestige does Zhou Yi have in Yunshui Village? Now, his words are more effective than Li Yuanfang's. In the eyes of fellow villagers, parents are not as close as the Communist Party, but even the Communist Party is not as close as Mr. Zhou.

  Mr. Zhou not only enriched the villagers' cultural life, but also a great doctor like a living god, everyone wants him to live a few more years. Today, someone actually wants to take away everyone's 'treasure', isn't that asking for trouble?

  People in the mountains are not short of blood and are most united against outsiders, no matter if you wear an official uniform or not. If someone wants to move us, there's no way!

  With a loud shout, more than ten sturdy young men surrounded the two policemen. They discussed and debated whether to throw them into the fields or into the water.

  "Just throw it in the field, the water is too cold, don't let anyone really lose their life..."

  "Don't throw it in the field, you'll damage the wheat. Throw it into the lake instead, no one will die for a while."

  "What... what are you doing? Interfering with official business is a crime!"

  The two policemen turned pale, what kind of person is Zhou Yi? How could it be that as soon as they said they wanted to arrest him, the whole village went crazy and rushed at them? This has never happened before...

  "Hey, hey... two police uncles, I'm a mountain man with no culture, don't understand what's called obstructing official business, we just know that Uncle Zhou is a good person, can't let you catch him! Brothers, take action!"

  Two hooligans raised their hands, and several men immediately pinned down two policemen.
