Lui Hai was wildly drunk. Not long after, he fell down on the ground and seed to fall asleep.
Ren Ziling touched his forehead and frowned, "He has a high fever, probably because he was out in the rain for overnight...Girl, where’s the village hospital?"
Lui Yiyun answered, "There’s only a clinic, not a hospital!"
"Whatever." Ren Ziling arranged them, "Brat, wait here with You Ye, I’ll pick you up after sending him to the clinic!"
Luo Qiu said, "No, thanks. We can walk back, it’s not too far."
Ren Ziling didn’t say more but nodded, "OK, we’ll talk later."
Luo Qiu watched the car leaving.
There was no one on Hear-The-Sea Cliff at that ti. It gave people quite a relaxed and happy feeling in the morning. Luo Qiu moved his fingers slightly, separately placing beer cans and trash nearby flew up in orders towards a garbage near the resting pavilion.
Luo Qiu walked to the stone tablet of Hear-The-Sea Cliff, reading the words carved on it before asking, "Is it really struck by thunder?"
You Ye looked around, then tidying her hair and saying calmly, "It might be because there is a wind gap here. Plus with the humid weather, the rock was probably loosened by the wind and rain with years."
The servant girl pointed at the edge of the cliff, "Thunder is always followed by a rainstorm, maybe the thunder destroyed a loosened rock."
Luo Qiu nodded. He agreed with her thought.
He walked to the edge, looking down--- Right below the cliff were the sea waves, along with reefs scattering around. People would die if they fell down from here.
No wonder Lui Yiyun revealed a frightened look.
"Did he just say that his mother was thrown down here?" Luo Qiu was puzzled.
You Ye nodded, "Yeah, he did... And that doesn’t seem to be nonsensical talk after becoming drunk. From that kind of rage, he must have gone through sothing."
Luo Qiu said, "I want to have a look at the village over there."
...
...
The village clinic was established two decades ago by a young villager who returned to the city after studying dicine.
The dical facilities were old, so should be renewed. But with good maintenance, it was obvious that the doctor cherished them a lot.
From a youth until today’s silver hair, the doctor could set people’s mind at rest even though he was no longer young.
He looked at Lui Yiyun, smiling, "Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal. He just needs a transfusion of fluids, then take so dicine with several days of rest. Your father is in good health, so he’ll get well soon. But don’t drink too much! You co and look after him, I have other patients to see."
"Thank you, doctor." Lui Yiyun expressed her gratitude.
Ren Ziling and Lizi felt relieved as well. At this mont, the girl’s face turned a lot better, Subeditor Ren regained her interest in gossiping.
She looked at the girl, squinting her eyes and asking, "What’s it about that your dad said that his mother was thrown down?"
Lui Yiyun gave a start.
She shook her head, "I have no idea. I thought it was just balderdashing from my dad after drinking."
Ren ZIling thought before asking, "She’s your dad’s mum...which ans she is your granny? Oh, it seems like I haven’t t your granny?"
Lui Yiyun said, "I haven’t t her either. I heard from my dad that my granny passed away during his childhood. I’ve asked him several tis about this but he seldom brought that up. Neither my grandpa... my mum, on the other hand, talked about that before."
She checked outside of the sick room, saying cautiously, "I heard... she was killed by the villagers."
The girl gathered so courage herself, saying, "Sister Ren, actually I tried to find out what happened to my grandma but I didn’t hear anything from anyone. I’ve asked so classmates and they have also asked their relatives but they sealed their mouths too... I, I want to know that."
Ren Ziling asked, "You want to check that?"
The girl nodded seriously, "Yeah! You’re journalists, so you must have more ways compared to ... I, I have so savings, around 1000 Yuan..."
"No." Ren Ziling shook her head.
The girl looked disappointed, "Is it still too little..."
Ren Ziling laughed, touching her head with her hands, "I’m not sure if I can get so clues. After all you didn’t get any throughout these years. But if I can, you can just treat a seafood feast!"
"Ah, really?" The girl beca delighted.
Ren ZIling nodded, "I’ll go take a walk outside for now and co back to see if your father is awake. If everything is OK, let send you back ho."
"OK!"
...
Despite of its na ‘village’, this place was slowly developed into a town.
It was common to see two-storey and three-storey buildings here being occupied by owners. The small fishing village beca a place full of seafood restaurants.
And so did motels increase. Luo Qiu saw one like a bar just now, which was not open yet.
This place was quite different from Lui Hai’s desolated resort. There were tourists out there in the street. Probably because it was the sumr holiday, so youths had already planned ahead to enjoy their sumr starting from here.
Boss Luo was strolling along the stalls.
"Bro, do you need a room? Our place is safe, one full package service! You must know that"
The middle-aged businessman with a mouth full of yellowish teeth called him while smiling.
Luo Qiu sized up the dium-scaled hotel behind of him.
"We have very good service here! A young man ca here just now, he was very happy!"
Luo Qiu smiled, "Oh, does he? What kind of happiness?"
The businessman walked to him, couldn’t stop laughing. He had to whisper softly to Luo Qiu, "Don’t tell others, that young boy ordered a very old lady! And is enjoying now!"
The club boss gaped, thinking that everyone’s desire was different.
He shook his head, losing his interest.
"Sorry, I’m here just to have a look." Luo Qiu explained.
Watching him leave, the hotel boss got into a flap and caught his arm in a hurry, "Alas bro, don’t misunderstand. That was just that guest’s special requirent. I just want to let you know that whichever your preferences are, you can get them here!"
"Anything I can help you with?"
Seeing her master being dragged, the servant girl who was looking at local accessories ca close.
The boss saw her and couldn’t move his eyes away. Thinking in his heart that this woman was extrely gorgeous, the whole Lui Village couldn’t compare with her!
"Nothing, let’s go." Luo Qiu shook his head.
You Ye nodded, walking to Luo Qiu’s side.
The hotel boss was speechless. Because a man wouldn’t be interested in any other won if such wonderful lady went with him.
He lost the deal!
Right then, the gorgeously dressed, flashy aunt ca out sneakily. She pulled the boss’s ear, yelling, "You brat, are you making fun of ? What custor did you invite! He was a scam and scared a lot!! Then he fled!!"
"What? He fled?" the boss was stunned.
The aunt pulled his ear with force, "I know right?I passed out and didn’t know what he did to ! He asked a lot of things and I don’t know what I said because I was muddle-headed! Tell , did you et a swindler?"
The boss said, "No! he paid !"
With the word, he took out his waist bag, fishing out as saying, "See! This is a lot of banknotes... Oh f*ck! What the hell! It... I saw..."
They were not banknotes but so leaves.
That aunt raised her voice, "I said that guy must be a swindler! I don’t know what he did to ! I’m feeling dizzy now! You must be cheated!"
"Really?" the boss asked, "Aunt, what did he do and ask you?"
"I can’t rember. Seems sothing like the matter with that Old Female Immortal Huang." The aunt said while massaging her forehead.
"What?" the businessman suddenly shut his mouth.
He found the man and his female partner hadn’t walked away. They were looking at him and the old lady. The boss lowered his head and pushed the old lady into the hotel before shutting the door closed.
...
Luo Qiu stepped back, taking a glimpse at the hotel and then turning around to the vendors in the street as if thinking about sothing.
He suddenly walked to a stall, sizing it up curiously.
"Sir, do you want a silk ball? Sending a silk ball to the girl you love will get you a perfect marriage!" an old woman was sitting at the stall, knitting a new silk ball.
Luo Qiu squatted down, picking up one with curiosity, asking, "How much is it?"
"Small one, 5 for each. And a big one is 12. Very cheap!"
"Give a small one, please." Luo Qiu smiled, "By the way, I have a question."
"There you go...Oh, say it please." The old woman agreed to his request with a smile.
Luo Qiu asked, "Do you know Old Female Immortal Huang?"
Unexpectedly, her face changed upon hearing this na.
She didn’t say anything but grabbed the silk ball from Luo Qiu’s hand, "I won’t sell it. Go away!"
"Excuse ?"
But this woman cleaned up the goods quickly, walking into an alley rapidly. Before leaving, she turned around and looked at him nervously.
"Master?"
Luo Qiu said in a deep voice, "Go inquire about the background of Old Female Immortal Huang."
"Yes."
