Zhou Yiming could imagine the scene where his old father was begging for help, and he also knew that his old father had no other pursuit in his life, just a good face. If it weren't for finding him as soon as possible, he would never Will put down his dignity and ask for help.
Zhou Yiming felt extremely sad. He secretly swore that no matter how dangerous he encountered in the future, he would never let his father beg anyone else again.
Zhou Ruhai was on tenterhooks all night, because his nerves were so tense that he felt sluggish. Although he had not eaten from last night to now, he never felt hungry. Even the moment he saw Zhou Ming, because he was in a happy mood, He felt that he was ten years younger. Not only did he not feel hungry, but he was full of energy.
But when he came to the study and sat down, his whole body and mind relaxed, and he felt tired and hungry. He leaned on the back of the chair, and just when he was about to ask someone to get him something to eat, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to know what happened after Zhou Ruhai went out last night, but before she could speak, she heard Zhou Ruhai's stomach growling.
Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth and smiled bitterly: "Master, I have lived with you all my life, and I have never seen you in such a mess.
It's important to find our son, but you also have to take care of your own health. You're so hungry that your stomach is starting to growl. "
Zhou Ruhai covered his stomach with some embarrassment and said with a smile: "Last night I was so focused on finding Ming'er as soon as possible, and I was overthinking that I didn't feel hungry at all.
Besides, the situation was urgent at the time, and even if I found I was hungry, I didn't have time to eat at all. "
I pity the hearts of parents in the world.
Zhou Yiming was deeply moved. He knew that his father and mother were both from wealthy families. They had been pampered and raised since childhood. They had never suffered from hunger.
This turned out to be a good thing. Because of his unfilial son, the two old people not only stayed in fear all night, but were also as hungry as refugees.
After Zhou Yiming sighed for a while, he immediately ordered Huan'er and Chun Ni'er: "You two quickly go to the kitchen to serve porridge to the master. Oh, by the way, the old man who went out with the master just now, also serve him a bowl."
"Yes." The two little girls agreed, turned around and went out.
Seeing that Yi Ming was still worrying about these little things, Zhou Ruhai became angry: "Ming'er, you don't need to worry about these things. You go out and find your daughter-in-law quickly. If she can't find you, she will definitely not come back." House's."
"That's right, we have servants to take care of us, so you don't need to worry." Mrs. Zhou also said quickly, "Your wife's injury has not healed yet. If she gets tired because of looking for you, causing the old injury to relapse, I will I’m not done with you!”
Although Zhou Yiming is standing here, his heart has already flown out, because at this moment, seeing that his father and mother are safe and sound, the tightest string in his heart suddenly relaxes, and now he is most uneasy. Yes, it’s Gillian Lin.
But in front of his elders, he couldn't show this worry. He could only suppress the anxiety in his heart for the time being, hoping to find Lin Ajiao after the two old people had settled down.
After hearing the two old men scolding him, Yiming not only did not feel sad or aggrieved, but he was very happy, because the two old men had spoken, and he could go to his wife in good faith.
"Mom and dad, please calm down. I'm going to find Gillian right now. If I can't get her back, I'll come and see her." The reason why Zhou Ming said something so naughty was to make the two old people happy. , lest they worry about themselves after they leave.
"Ivory can't come out of a dog's mouth!" Zhou Ruhai pretended to be angry, but in his heart he was already amused by Zhou Ming's words.
Mrs. Zhou did not hide her emotions. She said with a smile: "You are not serious at this time! If you continue to be verbose here, let your father beat you, and you will be honest."
Zhou Yiming looked panicked and hurriedly apologized: "Come on, I can't afford to offend you two grandparents. I will resign now."
After saying this, Zhou Ming walked out of the study with a playful smile.
When he met Chun Ni'er and Huan'er who were coming back from the kitchen, he immediately walked up to them and whispered: "You two take good care of the master and his wife for me. I have to go out to find the young mistress. If I haven't been back for a long time, and if the master and his wife are worried about me, you two must try to comfort them, otherwise they are old and may have physical problems."
Huan'er and Chun Nier both nodded vigorously.
Huan'er couldn't even help but said: "Master, although it is important to find the young lady, you must also pay attention to safety. The master and his wife are already frightened, and they really can't bear anything happening again."
"I know that, you two just need to be careful." Zhou Ming replied, but he felt a warmth in his heart, because he was really touched to see everyone in the family caring about him like this.
After giving instructions to the two little maids, Zhou Yiming walked straight towards the gate.
Just as he opened the door and was about to go out, the old family member who had accompanied Zhou Ruhai back just now suddenly appeared next to him.
The old man held half a bowl of porridge in his hand, looked at Zhou Ming with great concern, and said, "Master, are you going out?"
"Yes, I want to go out and find the young mistress." Zhou Ming respected this old family member very much, so he didn't hide anything.
When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up. He immediately put the bowl in his hand on the step aside, wiped his hands on his clothes, then wiped his mouth twice with his hands, and then said firmly: "Young man "You heard what the master just said. It's not peaceful outside. If you go out alone, the master and his wife will definitely be worried. Why don't you let me go with you? Even if something happens, the two of you will still take care of each other."
Zhou Yiming patted his old family member on the shoulder, feeling very grateful to him. After all, he had been working with his father all night last night, and the hardship he endured was no less than that of his father. However, he saw that he was about to go out. , he still went to great lengths and wanted to go with him.
Zhou Yiming knew in his heart that this old family member's affection and loyalty to the Zhou family could not be bought with money. These feelings were earned by getting along with each other over time and sincerely giving each other.
Looking at this old man with an expectant look on his face, Zhou Yiming really didn't want to refuse his kindness, but considering that the old man was old and in poor health, Zhou Yiming really couldn't bear for him to have to work hard with him again, so he could only remain silent. Reluctantly, he refused his request.
"Old man, I understand your thoughts, but I can't do this." Zhou Yiming said with a smile, "Last night you were with my father and you were busy. It was hard enough. Now you Just have a good rest.
It's broad daylight outside now, so even if something big happens, there's no danger.
Even if something unexpected happens, I will have my own way to deal with it. After all, you know how high my martial arts skills are.
On the contrary, if I take you there, I will inevitably be timid in doing things, which will delay things at critical moments. "
During the decades that my family members have been in the Zhou family, although they have been working diligently and working hard no matter what they do, they are not very popular among the servants because of their upright personality and their inability to observe words and flattery. Often isolated and bullied.
Therefore, although he has the oldest qualifications among the servants and has the deepest friendship with his master, he has never been reused, nor has he experienced the feeling of being respected.
Hearing Zhou Yi call himself "old man", the old man was deeply moved, because he understood that this call represented the young master's respect for him.
He originally thought that Zhou Ming would agree to his request, but what Zhou Ming said next made him disappointed.
Because not only did Yiming not appreciate his kindness, he actually felt that he was a burden.
"Master, I understand. Then I won't go. You should be careful on the road alone. I will take good care of you at home." The old man said with a disappointed look on his face.
In fact, Zhou Yiming didn't think his old family was a burden at all. The reason why he said that just now was just to make this old family give up.
Zhou Yiming patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the door without saying a word.
The old man followed him out and watched Zhou Yiming walk away in an instant. He finally understood in his heart that the young master's refusal to let him follow was entirely out of good intentions. After all, with the young master's traveling speed, he was going all out to do his best. Life will definitely not be able to keep up.
After looking around for a while, the old family members quickly retreated and closed the door tightly.
Zhou Yiming came to the street. It was already afternoon and the sun was gradually setting, but the heat of the sun was still unabated.
The strong sunlight shone on the street, causing the faces of pedestrians to appear oily.
Zhou Yiming used his fastest pace to quickly search several of the busiest streets, but could not find Lin Ajiao.
He stopped several people one after another, described Li Ajiao's physical features to them, and asked them if they had seen this person before.
As a result, those people all replied that they had never seen it, which made Zhou Ming feel very disappointed.
As he continued to search, Zhou Yiming became less and less confident as he searched. After all, the capital was so big and crowded, so it was really difficult to find a living person.
The reason for this is very simple. Lin Ajiao is also a great person, and her martial arts training is not inferior to that of Yi Ming.
While Zhou Yiming was looking for her, she was also looking for Yi Ming. If the two people were looking for each other in opposite directions, it would be difficult for them to meet in a short time.
Zhou Yiming frowned, thinking that instead of looking for a needle in a haystack like this, it would be better to find someone to help. Those colleagues in the inspection yamen in the south of the city must have almost finished the big meal. If they were to be found together with him, he would find Lin A If you are charming, you will definitely find someone soon.
But he soon gave up this idea, because he knew very well the strength of those colleagues. If bringing them in could not help, but would cause trouble for himself, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
