Gu Lingling was unaware of these events. A few days later, Old Man Zhou was brought back by Gu Tongzhou and Zhao Junfeng.
Because he almost lost his life this time, the village specifically allocated him a bit more grain, and the entire winter he wasn't assigned any heavy labor.
When Old Man Zhou returned, Gu Lingling didn't immediately go to see him. Instead, she waited a few days before going to visit Zhao Si'en, where she found Old Man Zhou lying on the kang bed.
Upon seeing him, Gu Lingling burst into tears.
"Oh dear, this old man has a tough life, don't cry, girl." Old Man Zhou was heartbroken. This time, if not for Gu Lingling, he might have lost his life there.
Although he woke up in the hospital, he was well aware that the person who saved him must have been Gu Lingling.
And what he heard that day was not an illusion.
However, he knew his own identity well, and now that he was being watched by the militia, in the hospital, he pretended to know nothing.
