Zhou Yu never expected that after walking all this way, he would end up in vain. He asked the owner of the house where Diegu had gone. The other party shook his head and said he was not sure, but said that Diegu was usually there at night. If she went out at night, she would probably not come back until the morning. However, even if I come back, I won't see the guests right away. I have to wait until tomorrow night.
Having said this, he persuaded Zhou Yu to go back with him first and come back the next day. After all, Zhou Yu wanted to ask Diegu, and he had to follow other people's rules. If you annoy Diegu, not only will it not solve the problem, it may even cause trouble.
The premise of these words was based on Zhou Yu's visit to see a doctor, but he didn't know Zhou Yu's real reason. To be honest, Zhou Yu not only didn't want to beg the other party, but was filled with the urge to question him. After coming all the way here, no matter whether all this was related to Zhou Yu's disappearance, he was unwilling to wait any longer.
"No need, I'll wait for her here." He said.
The owner of the house persuaded him a few more words, but seeing Zhou Yu's firm attitude, he really couldn't persuade him, so he could only tell him other things: it would be safe to stay around the house, and you don't have to worry about wild beasts and poisonous insects, but absolutely not Destroy the house, let alone enter the house on your own; when Diegu comes back, she cannot do anything rude. If she is unwilling to let Zhou Yu enter the house during the day, she can only continue to wait outside the house.
You cannot enter the house by yourself. Don't offend Diegu. He emphasized these two points over and over again. He also said that there was once an outsider seeking medical treatment for his family. Because he was anxious, he broke into Diegu's home through the window. As a result, he was in a coma for more than half a month and almost died. .
This is because Diegu is no ordinary woman. Disrespect her and you will be cursed.
Although Zhou Yu doesn't really believe in such things, his experiences during this period have made him more cautious. Furthermore, his purpose was just to meet Zhou Yu's biological mother, and he was not very interested in her property and life, let alone any illegal intrusion.
Seeing that the owner of the house was very worried, he promised that he would only wait in front of the house, and maybe Diegu would come back in the middle of the night.
After talking to this extent, the house owner seemed to finally feel relieved and apologized to Zhou Yu, saying that he had to go home as soon as possible. Die Gu doesn't like outsiders staying in her residence. Anyone who has nothing to do here will be driven away by her. If he comes again, he will encounter wasps and poisonous snakes.
Zhou Yu didn't want to mention Zhou Yu's matter in front of outsiders, so he naturally didn't object to the owner of the house leaving. He thanked the owner of the house and agreed that the owner would buy him water and food the next day, and the two parted ways.
After the old man disappeared behind the maple forest, Zhou Yu walked roughly around the house. There are windows on all sides of the wooden house, and the space is large enough for a thin person to squeeze through. However, it is tightly covered with thick embroidered cloth, and a faint smell of grass juice oozes from the cloth.
Although he felt that such curtains were strange and easy to break through, Zhou Yu still remembered the agreement he made with the house owner. Finally, he walked away without touching anything and went to look at the small nursery next to the house.
As a medical student, Zhou Yu’s main focus is cardiac surgery. His knowledge of medicine is not profound, and his knowledge of herbal medicine is almost blank. Based on these tiny sprouts, he couldn't identify what kind of plant they were. He only assumed that they were Chinese herbal medicines because the owner of the house said that Diegu was "treating people".
However, this may also be some kind of misunderstanding. Zhou Yu knew that in areas with a strong culture of witches and ghosts, the folk understanding of the so-called "medical treatment" was difficult to distinguish from witchcraft. Hysteria, epilepsy, stroke, these diseases that cause people to behave strangely are often treated as evil spirits. At this time, the first thing the family thought of calling was not a doctor, but a goddess.
Judging from the owner's respectful attitude toward Zhou Yu's mother, she probably belongs to the latter group, and at most she has some knowledge of herbal medicine. To be honest, Zhou Yu felt slightly disappointed by this. In his imagination, Zhou Yu's mother was more like an artist and poet, an elegant and delicate woman, rather than a weirdo who lived alone in the mountains and acted like a ghost.
After experiencing that strange dream, he could no longer deny the existence of supernatural phenomena. But until he found proof, he did not feel that it was necessary to admit that religion and ghosts also existed. As for using this phenomenon to intimidate and make profits, it is no different from fraud.
If Zhou Yu's mother is really this kind of person, then it is not difficult to understand why Zhou Yu's father wants to eliminate all traces of her from home.
After seeing the nursery, he sat back in front of the house with such an uneasy mood and waited quietly.
Perhaps because Zhou Yu's mother used some kind of insect repellent, the area around the hut was very quiet and no insects could be heard. The grass and trees on the ground were emerald green, and seemed to emit a slight gleaming light at night, completely different from the light and tender new grass on the way here.
Zhou Yu felt that this scene was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that I had seen a similar scene in my dream. He had seen such a dazzling green in the abandoned factory warehouse in his dream.
Is it a soil problem? Or did you add special fertilizer? Zhou Yu doesn't know much about this aspect. Neither he nor Zhou Yu likes gardening very much. He did it because of hygiene issues, but Zhou Yu simply didn't like it.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Yu not only hates gardening, but also hates most concepts related to "nature" and "wilderness". She doesn't like water sources such as rivers, lakes and seas, but she hates mountains and forests even more. If she goes out, she usually goes to galleries, cinemas, art palaces and other places.
As the daughter of a landscape painter, she hated natural scenery, which was once incomprehensible to Zhou Yu. It wasn't until he graduated from high school that he finally asked this question.
That was the last graduation trip organized by the class after the college entrance examination. The travel location was decided by voting by the participants, and the final result was to go to Yishan Mountain to see the sea of clouds.
Zhou Yu doesn't really like traveling far, but as a class committee member, he naturally has the obligation to organize activities. Zhou Yu also decided to go with him.
At that time, the two never explained their relationship, and many people in the class still regarded them as brother and sister. Whenever this kind of situation comes up, Zhou Yu not only refuses to clarify, but intentionally or unintentionally aggravates the misunderstanding, as if treating the matter as some kind of harmless prank.
There is a girl in Zhou Yu's class. According to Luo Binhan, she seems to have had a good impression of Zhou Yu for a long time, but due to school rules and pressure to enter higher education, she has never confessed her feelings to Zhou Yu. It wasn't until she was traveling in Yishan that she thought it was her last chance, and finally plucked up the courage to come to Zhou Yu during lunch and invite him to talk outside the restaurant.
At that time, Zhou Yu was sitting next to Zhou Yu and reading. The girl actually walked over, mustered up the courage, and confessed that she wanted to ask Zhou Yu out.
"No, brother can't go."
Just when Zhou Yu didn't know how to respond, Zhou Yu said without raising her head: "It's too dangerous outside. If you have anything to say, please say it here. Don't waste his time."
The sense of targeting in her words was so strong that the girl immediately ran away in embarrassment.
Although Zhou Yu's popularity is not very good, she does not lack superficial courtesy, especially when dealing with people of the same sex, she almost never uses harsh words. This was the first time Zhou Yu had seen her behave so openly.
At that time, he thought it was Zhou Yu's desire for exclusivity, but even so, her reaction was too intense. To put it bluntly, it looks like a hedgehog that has bristled its fur when it encounters a natural enemy.
His doubts were obviously noticed by Zhou Yu. She quietly put down the book and sighed.
"...I don't like mountains." She said, "I feel very nervous here and can't talk well. I'll apologize to her next time."
