Chapter 222: The Zhou Brothers
Zhou Zheng stared at his back for a long time before coming back to his senses.
"What's wrong? Do you have a grudge? Mu Ling looked at his thatched hut.
"He's my uncle" Zhou Zheng lowered his head and looked at the medicine jar in his hand, the dark color was unknown.
Mu Ling was a little surprised, she really didn't see that these two people were related.
Along the way, Zhou Yuan didn't mention this at all.
"It doesn't look like it, but he doesn't look like your uncle at all." Mu Ling shook his head.
"If he had done before, he would never have set foot in here." Zhou Zheng raised his head, and his sadness was fleeting.
It seems that he is a person with a story, Mu Ling knows it.
"Brother...... Are there any guests coming? Ahem, ahem, ahem......" A weak voice came from inside the room, and a thin figure appeared in the doorway.
Mu Ling looked at this boy who looked similar to Zhou Yuan, and a different color flashed in his eyes.
His entire right arm was transparent, making it look like he had a broken hand.
"Well, they're the ones who gave us the bread and the money, why did you get up! Lie down quickly. Zhou Zheng put down the medicine jar in his hand and hurriedly walked to Zhou Fang's side.
"Thank you, brother and sister. I'm fine, my bones are about to fall apart every day when I lie down......" Zhou Fang looked up at Mu Ling, and then quickly lowered his head and put the transparent hand behind his back.
Mu Ling was surprised, how did he tell that she was a woman?
Zhou Zheng was also surprised for a moment, but he didn't care too much about this problem.
"How long has he been like this?" Mu Ling asked.
"It's been like this since birth, and it's been good and bad at first, and it's been like this since then." Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly, Zhou Fang's situation could not be solved by ordinary doctors at all.
"Can you show me?" Mu Ling crouched down.
Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng and saw that he had no objection, so he stretched out his right hand.
Mu Ling held Zhou Fang's hand, and she felt a steady stream of energy being released from his hand.
This is......
Mu Ling was a little surprised, the ability to be released?
Normal Inhuman's abilities can generally be retracted and released freely, but Zhou Fang doesn't seem to be able to control it himself, so his entire arm will become transparent.
There are also people who can't control their abilities, but they can control themselves after practice.
At the same time, Mu Ling was also shocked by Zhou Fang's vitality, it stands to reason that ordinary people have long been unable to hold on to his ability to release his ability like this, but Zhou Fang has been able to live until now......
That's why his body is always in a weak state.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why he is in this situation, but, with constant practice, I believe that this problem can be solved." Mu Ling was a little sorry.
"However, in the future, just grab the medicine and buy him some supplements, and you don't need to take other medicines."
Zhou Zheng was also a little disappointed, he thought that this group of people would have a solution, but he still nodded gratefully.
On the other hand, Zhou Fang didn't react, he seemed to know the ending, and he didn't have any hope for his situation.
After Mu Ling explained his intentions, Zhou Zheng told her all the information he knew.
After Mu Ling and Yun Fei left the village, Zhou Yuan appeared at Zhou's house.
"What are you going to do?" Zhou was expressionless.
"What to say and what not to say, I don't need to say it!" Zhou Yuan glanced at Zhou Fang with a threat in his eyes.
"Don't worry, they're not interested in our family's affairs! Not even more interested in what you're doing! Zhou Zheng glanced at him coldly.
"It had better be! If only let me know that you told me about me, you know the consequences! After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he didn't stay long and went straight out of the thatched house.
Zhou Zheng sat for a long time before getting up to make porridge for Zhou Fang.
He didn't see it, Zhou Fangzheng behind him was watching his back in a daze.
After eating, the two brothers sat under the stars and chatted.
"Brother? What do you want to do in the future? Zhou Fang looked at the stars in the sky and said.
"I'm going to be a doctor! Then cure your sickness! Zhou Zheng said with a smile.
Zhou Fang had loneliness in his eyes, "What about your own business?" What would you like to do without me? ”
"No if, don't think so in the future, you are my younger brother, my only relative. You can rest assured! I will definitely try to become a doctor! Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Fang.
Zhou Fang smiled and nodded, looking forward to the future with Zhou Zheng.
After a long time, Zhou Zheng lost his voice.
Zhou Fang patted Zhou Zheng, "Brother ......"
screamed a few times in a row, but Zhou Zheng didn't react, and Zhou Fang covered him with a blanket.
"I'm sorry, brother, I can't be so selfish" Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng with reluctance in his eyes, with determination.
He was treated as a monster from the moment he was born, because of him, his family was ruined......
For the sake of their two brothers, their parents invited themselves out of the Zhou family, and they raised the two pennilessly and hard.
But the good times didn't last long, and my parents disappeared when they entered the mountain, and no one was seen alive or dead.
Since then, his brother Zhou Zheng has supported the family, and life is difficult, but the brothers are very content, but he can't drag him down anymore.
He's had enough of days like this...... He didn't want his brother to have an accident because he had an accident too.
Zhou Yuan came to look for him, when Zhou Zheng was not at home.
As long as he agrees to go with him, his brother can return to Zhou's house and no longer live such a hard life, and he doesn't have to worry about him every day.
He didn't want to be a drag on anyone.
He came to the vicinity of Zhou Yuan's house, where Zhou Yuan was already waiting for him.
"You've finally figured it out! Don't worry, as long as you follow that adult, I will bring your brother back tomorrow. Zhou Yuan patted Zhou Fang's shoulder, but there was cunning in his eyes.
Zhou Fang took a deep breath and nodded.
The only thing he could do for his brother was this.
One last glance at the direction of the thatched house, he followed Zhou Yuan and disappeared into the night.
Post.
Mu Xue and the others have all returned, and they have unified the clues they found today, but there is very little useful information.
"The family in Xizhen was fine, and they hadn't seen strangers that day," Mu Xue said.
"There is no abnormality in my place, and those who disappeared have no warning before they disappeared," Zhou Mo replied.
"What about you guys? Did you find it again? Mu Xue asked.
"We went to the government office to look at the files of the missing persons for nearly a year, and found that the first person to disappear was from Dahe Village, the parents of the little ghost head Zhou Zheng, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
Next is Baijia Village, Lijia Village, and people from other villages.
Then we found out that the missing people are all centered in Xizhen, is this considered a breakthrough point? Yiqing said slowly.
"Who reported the case to Zhou Zheng's parents?" Mu Ling pondered for a moment and asked, I don't know why, Mu Ling always felt something strange.
"It's Zhou Yuan, Zhou Zheng's uncle." Yuan Rong glanced at the record.
"Who? Zhou Yuan? Zhou Mo suddenly asked.
"That's right, it was the government that he went to in person, saying that his brother and sister were missing." Yuan Rong nodded.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Mu Ling asked.
"When I was investigating those villages, I heard someone gossiping and telling a story from more than ten years ago," Zhou Mo's expression became complicated.
"What's the story?" Mu Xue was interested.
"I heard from them that many people in their village had been bandits before, not only in their village, but also in several other villages.
It is said that those bandits do all kinds of evil, burning, killing, looting and doing everything.
Later, for unknown reasons, they all hid incognito in various villages, and that Zhou Yuan was the descendant of the bandit leader, and Zhou Yuan often came to their village to walk around.
I don't know the authenticity of this story, it's still something I overheard......" Zhou Mo touched his nose.
"Speaking of the village chief of this Dahe Village, I heard from the family in Xizhen that they also saw him often in those days, and they ......were quite frequent" Mu Xue also remembered, she hadn't taken this seriously, and now it seems that this Zhou Yuan's behavior is indeed a little suspicious.
"Tomorrow, let's go to Dahe Village again to have a look, this Zhou Yuan is very problematic." Mu Ling said in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded, ran for a day, and went back to their rooms to rest.
Mu Ling lay on the bed and tossed and turned, her mind quickly flashed the faces of Zhou Zheng, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Fang, something was fleeting, so fast that she didn't have time to catch it.
What exactly did she overlook? Mu Ling fell asleep thinking about it.
Before dawn, there was a knock on the door, and the sound was still eager.
Mu Ling quickly got up and opened the door.
Zhou Zheng's face was full of anxiety, and he was covered in dirt.
"Please, help me find my brother! He's gone! Zhou Zheng knelt in front of Mu Ling and kowtowed.
"What the hell is going on? Don't be in a hurry yet," Mu Ling pulled him up.
Zhou Zheng was trembling all over, with a crying voice, "Last night we were chatting after dinner, I fell asleep while chatting, and when I woke up, I found that he was gone, he was not in good health, he would definitely not run around, I ...... I searched the whole village and couldn't find him."
Everyone else was woken up by Mu Ling's movement, and they came out to see what was going on.
Looking at the young man's bloody feet, everyone was a little moved.
"Wait a minute, we'll help you find it, but you have to tell me everything" Mu Ling looked at Zhou Zheng's eyes.
Zhou Zheng nodded, his eyes red, "I said...... I say ......"
On the way, Zhou Zheng told Mu Ling all the things about the Zhou family.
The Zhou family, as Zhou Mo heard, his grandfather was a bandit leader, and they did a big case back then, and after that, his grandfather disbanded the team and went incognito in Dahe Village.
Uncle Zhou Yuan has known the background of the Zhou family since he was a child, and the family is getting more and more unhappy, so he has the idea of returning to his old business, so he went behind Zhou's father to contact his old subordinates.
Finally he moved the people, and later, they started a few more businesses together, and the family began to become wealthy.
But externally, the Zhou family is well hidden, and the people in the village think they are ordinary villagers.
Until the birth of his younger brother Zhou Fang, the tranquility of the Zhou family was broken.
Since Zhou Fang was born, one of his arms has been transparent, unlike Zhou Zheng, he can't retract it freely.
This point has always been criticized by Uncle Zhou Yuan, who once wanted to drown Zhou Fang when they were not paying attention, but was discovered by Zhou Zheng.
At this time, Old Man Zhou found out what Zhou Yuan had done, and he was angry to death.
Zhou Zheng's father was honestly bullied at home, and Zhou Yuan relied on his father's death.
What they didn't know was that Zhou Zheng often walked around the house incognito, and the old man's death happened to be hit by him.
Seeing that his father was wronged and poked in the back, he ran to question Zhou Yuan, if his father hadn't arrived in time, Zhou Zheng would probably have been killed by Zhou Yuan.
Since then, Zhou Yuan has tried his best to torture their family.
The family broke away from the Zhou family.
But Zhou Yuan didn't intend to let them go, and threatened that if Zhou Zheng's father and mother dared to leak the slightest rumor, he would come to take Zhou Zheng and Zhou Fang's lives at any time.
In this way, his father and mother swallowed their anger and disappeared while hunting in the mountains.
Zhou Zheng also suspected that his uncle did it, but he had no evidence, and he had been monitoring Zhou Yuan for many years, but unfortunately he found nothing......
