As a result, before the rest of the words came out of his mouth, Zu Qi was confused for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he was surprised to find that he had returned to the hotel room.
Also coming out with him were members of Three lucky Treasures’ family of five.
As if they had never experienced such a magical thing, the two adults and three children were stunned on the spot.
Zu Qi called A Tao and A Shu several times but got no response. He immediately couldn’t laugh or cry, so he poured five cups of hot water and put them on the coffee table in front of them. After waiting for a while, he saw the five cups of water stuck in the same place in a petrified state. While the individuals slowly recovered from the shock.
“Drink water.” Zu Qi sat comfortably on the sofa and pointed to the five cups of hot water on the coffee table.
There was no need for Dabao to translate this time. A Tao and A Shu picked up the water glasses consciously. Even though they had been mentally prepared for a long time, they were still frightened by the current situation. They drank a whole glass of hot water before slowly regaining their composure.
Zu Qi didn’t speak, he was just waiting patiently.
A Tao and A Shu communicated in their own languages for about half an hour, and then called the Three Lucky treasures who were running around the room happily, asking them to act as translators and ask Zu Qi about the specific content of the transaction.
In fact, Zu Qi didn’t have any confidence in his heart. Before time travel, he was a programmer who could only type code. After traveling to the world of novels, whether it was acting or selling things, it was like the first time a big girl got on the sedan chair.
His current plan was to buy the breeding farm from Tang Yukuan and then convince Three lucky treasures’ people. As for what to do next, he would wait until the breeding farm was purchased before deciding that.
Zu Qi sorted out his thoughts and only told A Tao and A Shu to lead their tribesmen to try to plant the vegetable seeds and saplings he had brought. If the planting was successful, he would provide more types of seeds and saplings.
A Tao and A Shu nodded like chickens pecking at rice. Apparently they both liked Zu Qi’s proposal.
After all, the animals and plants in the space were gradually disappearing as time went by. If all of them sat still and waited to die, they were afraid that future generations would starve to death.
The deal proposed by Zu Qi was also a good opportunity for them to change their destiny.
After the conversation, Zu Qi asked A Tao and A Shu to wait for news from him at any time, and then prepared to send them back.
Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
A Tao and A Shu, who had just arrived in the new world, were as frightened as birds. They both shuddered violently, quickly hugged the three children into their arms, and looked at Zu Qi cautiously with wide eyes.
They were already relatively small, but now they were huddled in a pile and frightened, just like cats leaning against each other to gain a sense of security. Zu Qi felt sorry and distressed.
Zu Qi asked Dabao to take them to the bedroom to rest for a while. After he collected himself, he walked to the door and looked out through the peephole on the door.
It turned out to be Zhou Hai?!
Zu Qi recalled Zhou Hai’s dissatisfaction with him during this period, and couldn’t help frowning, wondering if Zhou Hai couldn’t sleep at night and came to find trouble with him?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Zu Qi did not welcome Zhou Hai’s arrival.
However, then he thought about Qiao Yang, who was kind to him. Even though Zu Qi had thousands of reluctances in his heart, he slowly opened the door and faced Zhou Hai’s face full of smiles.
Zu Qi: “…”
Did Zhou Hai take the wrong medicine today?
At this moment, Zu Qi even doubted whether Zhou Hai was possessed by other creatures. Otherwise, with his original temperament, he would probably never show such a bright smile to Zu Qi until his death.
Zu Qi quickly put away the surprise in his eyes, and said with a polite fake smile: “Brother Zhou, it’s so late, do you have anything important to do with me?”
The implication was that if you have nothing important, just leave as soon as possible, don’t disturb my rest.
It was a pity that Zhou Hai looked so interested, as if he couldn’t hear the meaning of Zu Qi’s words at all. He rubbed his hands nervously and said with difficulty: “Xiao Zu, I do have something very important to talk about here. Let me communicate with you. I wonder if you have time…”
“Sorry, Brother Zhou.” Zu Qi showed a troubled expression, “I am also dealing with something very important.”
Hearing this, Zhou Hai was stunned for a moment. Subconsciously thinking that Zu Qi was rejecting him tactfully, his face turned pale for a moment, and he stood there as helpless as a child who couldn’t find his way, completely losing his usual shrewd and mean look.
Although Zu Qi didn’t like Zhou Hai very much, he still couldn’t bear to see him like this, so he took a step back and said, “If you have anything to do with me, can you just tell me here?”
Zhou Hai’s face instantly changed from gray to pale. With his face flushed, he said thank you several times in excitement, and then returned to the topic: “I just went to see Xiao Dengzi, and he said he got two mushrooms from you. I know it’s very presumptuous to ask for it like this, but I really have no other choice…”
Zu Qi’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the word “mushroom”.
“Did you eat those mushrooms?” Zu Qi’s voice immediately became tense.
Zhou Hai knew he was in the wrong, and lowered his head in shame and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know the mushrooms were yours. I thought they were sent by Director Wang’s friends, so I used them without your consent…”
“No.” Zu Qi anxiously interrupted Zhou Hai, “Are you okay after you ate those mushrooms?”
After saying that, even Zu Qi found it funny. If it was really okay, would Zhou Hai come to him personally?
Sure enough, the next second he saw Zhou Hai nodding solemnly: “It’s okay.”
“…” At this moment, it was Zu Qi’s turn to turn pale with nervousness. He was stunned for a long time and then said with difficulty, “Something happened to Qiao Yang. Yes?”
Zhou Hai continued to nod: “Yes.”
When he thought of the 700 million actor Qiao Yang, Zu Qi’s legs suddenly became weak and he almost fell to the ground. He almost asked with a trembling voice: “Where is Qiao Yang? Is he in the hospital?”
“We didn’t go to the hospital. The doctor couldn’t cure him.”
Before Zhou Hai could finish his words, Zu Qi collapsed on the door frame. Fortunately, Zhou Hai reached out and grabbed his arm in time. Zu Qi reluctantly stood up with his legs.
At this moment, Qiao Yang’s assistant hurried over and shouted in surprise: “Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, are you okay?! Brother Qiao is about to die!”
Zu Qi heard the assistant’s words and instantly his mind went blank, and a bone-marrow chill rose from the soles of his feet, spreading to his limbs and bones at lightning speed.
It’s over.
Zu Qi thought to himself, it’s really over.
He shouldn’t have boldly handed the mushrooms to Xiao Dengzi before he was really sure whether they were edible. Although the Three lucky treasures’ people often eat that kind of mushroom, their physiques were different.
After all, in reality, almost no one could freely climb such tall trees.
Zu Qi was overwhelmed by despair on the spot, and even thought of the scene where he was arrested by the police for poisoning Qiao Yang.
When the time came, he would be squatting in the detention center. What would Xue Jue and Xue Wanwan do?
Xue Wanwan was still so young…
Xue Jue had just confirmed his relationship with him…
Zu Qi was already thinking wildly about his life decades later and was shaken by Zhou Hai in a panic for a long time before he struggled out of the chaos.
“Don’t be stunned, get some mushrooms out quickly!” Zhou Hai said with a sad face and an almost pleading tone.
Zu Qi thought that Zhou Hai was going to collect physical evidence and hand it over to the police. He returned to the room in despair and carefully told A Tao and A Shu to wait in the bedroom with their children. He would be back soon, and then he took the remaining three mushrooms to go out.
Zhou Hai took the mushrooms with surprise: “That’s it! That’s them! I will never recognize them wrongly.”
The assistant next to him also said in a crying voice: “Great, we finally found them!”
Only Zu Qi showed a face as pale as earth, there was no doubt that Zhou Hai and his assistant’s words meant that they had finally found the culprit behind the poisonous mushrooms.
Zu Qi followed Zhou Hai and his assistant to Qiao Yang’s room. When he walked in, he saw Qiao Yang unconscious on the bed and several people with heavy expressions next to him.
“Teacher Qiao!” Zu Qi walked over quickly and found that Qiao Yang had his eyes closed and was motionless. He didn’t know whether he was asleep or unconscious due to poisoning.
Zu Qi took a deep breath, and suddenly there was a surge of anger in his heart. He didn’t understand what Zhou Hai meant. Did he even ignore Qiao Yang’s comfort in order to preserve the evidence of poisoning?
“Zhou Hai!” Zu Qi shouted sharply, turned around and said, “Qiao Yang is like this, why don’t you send him to the hospital…”
Midway through, Zu Qi’s furious voice stopped suddenly, he couldn’t stop looking at the busy people in front of him without confidence, there was a strange silence for a long time, and then he asked with difficulty, “What are you…doing?”
Zhou Hai stood in front of the table, with an induction cooker and a small wok in front of him, inside which he put in the shredded pork after cutting and diced mushrooms that the assistant had just watched, then he hummed and stir-fried the vegetables while answering Zu Qi: “I’m cooking. You sit down for a while, we’ll start dinner later.”
Zu Qi: “???”
Damn it.
