178 Chapter 178 Experiment

Because Chunhong couldn’t move her legs, Widow Hua had no choice but to bend over and carry her daughter. Fortunately, walking from her to the foot of the mountain wasn’t too difficult, and the two women quickly went down the mountain.

However, Chunhong still cried out in pain the entire way.

As they left, the two brothers hiding behind a large rock emerged.

Gu Chengzhi heard Chunhong’s cries, gradually getting further away. He turned his head and teased, “The girl deliberately suffered such a heavy injury in order to get close to you; isn’t her love beautiful?”

“Why? Your heart aches?” Gu Chengye glared at him and retorted.

“What does it have to do with me? She’s here for you.” Gu Chengzhi said as they went down the mountain.

After Widow Hua went down the mountain, she carried Chunhong to Gu Chengrui’s house and knocked on it. However, even after knocking for a long time, she only heard a dog barking, and no one opened the door.

At that moment, Sister Tian walked out and saw the mother and daughter’s sorry state. She paused momentarily before quickly going forward to support Chunhong. “Sister Hua, what’s wrong with Chunhong?”

“She twisted her leg. Is there no one in Doctor Gu’s house?” Widow Hua inquired, panting heavily.

“Doctor Gu shouldn’t be at home, I saw him rushing out while drying the cabbage in the courtyard. As for Zhou Ying, I’m not sure. By the way, do you guys want to wait for Doctor Gu at my home?” asked Sister Tian.

Without waiting for Widow Hua to speak, Chunhong pushed Sister Tian away. “No. Mother, let’s use the ice at home to reduce the swelling and wait for Doctor Gu to come back.”

“Alright, let’s go home.” Widow Hua could only reply with a dry laugh.

Sister Tian looked at Chunhong’s attitude and remembered her previous outbursts, so she didn’t insist on their stay.

After they left, she shook her head in pity. It seemed that Sister Hua’s life wouldn’t be easy in the future.

Zhou Ying looked at the sky after she finished her work and exited her interspace. Noticing that the sky had turned dark, she went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

After she was done, she left a portion for Gu Chengrui and kept it warm in a pot. She went back to her room to sleep after that.

She thought Gu Chengrui wouldn’t be coming back tonight, so she was surprised when he rushed back in the middle of the night.

Zhou Ying looked at him in surprise and asked, “Rui, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t come back if it were too late?”

“I’m in a hurry to do an experiment. Send me into your interspace after I finish eating dinner.”

“Go back to your room, and I’ll go to the kitchen to get you your food.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took a small flashlight and went to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui took her offer and went into their house to wash his face with cold water, refreshing himself.

After that, she brought the food to him, and the two entered her interspace.

Gu Chengrui carried the food and sat at the dining table. “Babe, help yourself. I’ll be busy here today, so you don’t have to wait for me.”

“That’s fine, but you must take care of your health. Her poison isn’t lethal, so there’s no need to rush.”

Gu Chengrui nodded, then lowered his head to eat.

Zhou Ying was no longer sleepy after getting this, so she simply collected some wild duck eggs and bird nests.

After she was done, she washed the duck eggs and mixed lime into them to make century eggs.

When she was done, Gu Chengrui still didn’t come down. She had no choice but to leave her interspace and was surprised to find the sun high in the sky. She tidied up the house and unlocked the door.

Not long after, Sister Tian walked over. “Sister, you’re up. Is Doctor Gu back? Sister Hua’s daughter, Chunhong, twisted her ankle yesterday and has been waiting for Doctor Gu. She’s been here several times throughout the night.”

“Is it serious? He came back late last night and hasn’t woken up yet.”

“Quite. I saw her ankle was bruised and swollen to the size of a steamed bun.”
