Zhang Xiao's throat hurt so much that she spoke less, but she still sat there leaning against the wall, looking at Chen Jinjun with soft eyes.
Chen Jinjun frowned slightly, as if he didn't expect that Zhang Xiao, who was so high-spirited back then, would be so depressed now.
Soon, the doctor rushed over. Just by looking at Zhang Xiao's throat and holding back Zhang Xiao's cough, the doctor's face became serious.
Chen Jinjun couldn't help but frown deeper.
The doctor shook his head and sighed: "Your body is really broken."
Zhang Xiao waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay."
In his opinion, the fact that he was able to escape from such a hell on earth was his own good fortune, and the rest of his life was earned by his brothers in Zhangjiazhaizi.
Zhang Xiao lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
But Chen Jinjun was anxious first: "How can you say nothing means nothing?"
Later, Chen Jinjun ignored Zhang Xiao's obstruction and insisted on asking Zhang Xiao to go to the Chen family in the city, so that more or less more people could serve him.
Zhang Xiao looked at Chen Jinjun intently, his face still looking like he had not recovered.
He also did not expect to be able to actually see Chen Jinjun in Yongzhou, but it was a pity that his current body would only add to Chen Jinjun's burden.
"What exactly have you suffered from?" Chen Jinjun frowned and looked at Zhang Xiao worriedly.
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Jinjun asking him this. Then he smiled and shook his head, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It's nothing, isn't it easy to run out now?"
Seeing that he was unwilling to tell her the truth, Chen Jinjun simply asked directly: "Where is Brother Zhang Wu?"
Zhang Xiao fell silent for a moment, lowering his head and refusing to speak.
Seeing him like this, Chen Jinjun didn't understand anything. Zhang Wu was probably dead.
But no matter what Chen Jinjun said, Zhang Xiao always looked like a mystery that he didn't want to mention.
Seeing him like this, Chen Jinjun didn't feel comfortable saying anything.
But this matter was like a thorn stuck in Chen Jinjun's throat.
After leaving the room, Chen Jinjun grabbed Xu Fanming's sleeve: "Please help me find out. I asked, but he didn't want to tell."
Xu Fanming blinked thoughtfully and nodded in agreement.
He could naturally see that the relationship between Chen Jinjun and Zhang Xiao was not just a casual acquaintance. As for what happened and what the Northeast looked like now, he himself was also very curious.
Zhang Xiao and his group of people who escaped from the Northeast were quickly arranged by Chen Jinjun to enter Yongzhou City.
On the day he entered Chen's house, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but look at Chen Jinjun curiously several times.
In these days, he already knew that the second son of the Huo family, whom Chen Jinjun was going to marry, died before Chen Jinjun passed the door.
But Zhang Xiao didn't know the relationship between Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu.
Mainly because Xu Fanming didn't want to mention Huo Tingyu, and Chen Jinjun was still angry with Huo Tingyu, so naturally Zhang Xiao didn't know anything.
Not long after he walked into Chen's house, Zhang Xiao saw a figure.
This figure was extremely thin, and looked like a piece of clothing draped over a bamboo pole.
Zhang Xiao did not recognize the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest recognized Zhang Xiao at a glance.
The Taoist priest stood aside and stared blankly at Zhang Xiao walking in from the outside.
Zhang Xiao also felt the Taoist priest's gaze and looked at the Taoist priest without knowing why.
When the two looked at each other, the Taoist couldn't help but want to dodge. After all, he had saved his life from Zhang Xiao back then. When he saw Zhang Xiao now, he naturally felt the same conditioned fear as a mouse seeing a cat.
But after so many years and having experienced so many things in the Northeast, Zhang Xiao no longer remembers the Taoist priest.
Zhang Xiao followed Chen Jinjun and slowly walked to the corridor on one side.
"That person just kept looking at me."
Chen Jinjun naturally knew who Zhang Xiao was talking about, and patiently explained: "You don't know something. This is the person I asked you to let go back then. I met him again in Yucheng two years ago."
Mentioning this matter, Zhang Xiao also remembered who the Taoist priest was.
"It's him. He looks extremely weak."
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
Chen Jinjun didn't say anything, he just led Zhang Xiao forward.
Suddenly, Chen Jinjun asked Zhang Xiao: "How did you escape?"
Zhang Xiao was startled for a moment, then shook his head and refused to answer Chen Jinjun's question.
"I'm here fine now, so don't ask me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep easily."
Zhang Xiao said to Chen Jinjun half-jokingly.
But Chen Jinjun felt it keenly. When he said this, Zhang Xiao's tone was full of sadness.
Chen Jinjun pursed his lips and did not continue to ask, but Chen Jinjun could vaguely guess that this was not a good thing.
But Zhang Xiao was obviously unwilling to say more, so Chen Jinjun could only give up the idea temporarily.
While Chen Jinjun was thinking about himself, Zhang Xiao suddenly patted Chen Jinjun on the shoulder.
Chen Jinjun was startled for a moment.
When he was in Zhangjiazhaizi, Zhang Xiao liked to suddenly pat himself on the shoulder like this, and then look back as if nothing had happened.
Chen Jinjun turned around suddenly, and Zhang Xiao looked like he was observing his surroundings. He looked nothing like the person who just patted Chen Jinjun on the shoulder.
But Chen Jinjun knew that Zhang Xiao was the one who sent him just now.
Chen Jinjun couldn't help but smile, just like he did on the snowfield many years ago.
Seeing Chen Jinjun smiling, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but laugh too.
"After all these years, 'younger brother' still remembers his elder brother's tricks."
Zhang Xiao arched his eyebrows and looked forward, as if he was still the second-in-command who was carefree on the snowfield.
When Chen Jinjun heard that Zhang Xiao still called him "brother," he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"I was so close back then. If the old man hadn't stopped me, I would have worshiped Guan Gong with you."
Chen Jinjun squinted his eyes, as if this incident happened yesterday.
Zhang Xiao also smiled and said: "Yes, when I heard that you were from my daughter's family, I didn't believe it. It was the boss who kept telling me that it was true that I reluctantly believed it."
Because of the discomfort in his throat, Zhang Xiao spoke unhurriedly.
When Chen Jinjun heard Zhang Xiao say this, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "Yeah, many people don't believe it."
"Then you got married and went to Yongzhou. I thought at that time that Zhangjiazhai would be better than Yongzhou. But now it seems that I was just ignorant at the time and the old man chose well."
Zhang Xiao said as he followed Chen Jinjun and walked forward slowly.
Suddenly, Chen Jinjun turned around and stopped directly in front of Zhang Xiao: "You have hidden a lot of things from me."
Zhang Xiao looked at Chen Jinjun's eyebrows blankly and nodded: "Yes, I don't want to say."
Chen Jinjun was reluctant: "But I want to know. I can't send the boss off personally. It would be good to listen to it."
Zhang Xiao met Chen Jinjun's gaze and said solemnly: "You don't want to know."
Chen Jinjun insisted: "I want to know."
Zhang Xiao stared at Chen Jinjun silently for a while before finally nodding: "Okay, I'll tell you slowly."
