After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Saving Fourth Elder Uncle
At this time, in A Country on the other side of the ocean…

Qin Ze had just finished a surgery and walked wearily towards the underground parking lot when his newly turned-on phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and answered the call.

“Hello, mom.”

Grandma Qin had made dozens of calls before finally getting through to him. She hurriedly asked, “A’ze, where are you right now?”

“At the hospital. I’m just about to go home,” he replied.

Just then, the elevator made a “ding” sound and opened.

Although it was just a normal sound, Grandma Qin, upon hearing it, suddenly seemed startled, as if she had received a shock. “Don’t go out! Close the elevator quickly!” she exclaimed.

Confused, Qin Ze followed her urgent tone and instinctively did as she said.

“What’s wrong, mom?” he asked.

“You go upstairs first, don’t go to the parking lot!” Grandma Qin’s voice trembled, almost breaking into sobs. “Go to where there are more people, find a security guard, don’t be alone!”

Her hand holding the phone was shaking uncontrollably.

Zhouzhou held her hand, comforting her as she looked on.

Qin Ze was even more puzzled. By the time the elevator doors opened again, he had already reached the first floor, and the security guard was just a few steps away in the other direction. He headed in that direction.

Meanwhile, Zhouzhou counted on her fingers and suddenly leaned towards the phone, speaking loudly, “Don’t turn around, move to the side!”

A childish voice came through, and Qin Ze didn’t recognize who it was. Following the voice, he subconsciously took a step to the left.

In the next moment, a gust of wind flashed by, followed by a “snap” sound. He saw a puddle of liquid on the spot where he had just stood, bubbling with steam. When he saw what it was, he broke out in a cold sweat.

The sulfuric acid corroded a large area of the ground, a terrifying scene. Standing behind him was a man in black clothes. Since he hadn’t been splashed, the man quickly pulled out a dagger and stabbed towards Qin Ze. Just then, the security guard arrived in time and subdued the assailant with an electric baton.

Qin Ze stood by, still in shock.

If it weren’t for the voice that warned him just now, it would have been him who got splashed.

Realizing this, he took a deep breath.

Hearing the commotion, Grandma Qin became even more anxious. “A’ze, A’ze, are you okay?”

Zhouzhou carefully examined her face and saw that the ominous energy in her child palace had gradually dissipated. She knew that Fourth Elder Uncle had escaped this calamity, and her heart also relaxed.

Everything’s fine.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ze snapped back to reality and gradually calmed down. “Mom, I’m fine.”

“What happened just now?”

After a pause, knowing he couldn’t hide it, he briefly explained and reassured her, “It’s alright, I’m safe.”

He didn’t think it was a big deal, but Grandma Qin nearly collapsed. Her heart clenched, her body weakened, her face pale, and she held her chest in pain.

Oh no, her heart condition flared up!

Just as Grandpa Qin was about to bring her some quick-acting heart-saving pills, Zhouzhou somehow pulled out a small porcelain bottle and poured out a green pill, feeding it to her.

In less than a minute, Grandma Qin’s complexion returned to normal.

Witnessing this scene, Grandpa Qin was somewhat astonished. Suddenly, he remembered Grandma Qin saying that Zhouzhou had saved her, and now seeing it with his own eyes, he felt that the pill was miraculous. It was even more effective than the quick-acting heart-saving pills he had specially prepared.

Without thinking too much, he quickly poured a glass of water for Grandma Qin to drink. “Don’t worry, everything is fine now. Take your time and tell us.”

Grandma Qin nodded, tears streaming down her face. “You fool, what do you know? It wasn’t without danger. You almost got into trouble just now! If it weren’t for Zhouzhou predicting that something would happen to you and telling me to call you, you would have been in a terrible state by now!”

As she spoke, tears fell even more vigorously. Her face was pale, and she couldn’t bear to think about what might have happened.

Qin Ze couldn’t understand her words anymore. “Who is Zhouzhou?”

“My granddaughter, your savior!”

Qin Ze: “?”

Was she referring to the little girl who spoke just now?

She was in an emotional turmoil, her mind confused, and couldn’t even remember what she had said for a while. Grandpa Qin took the phone and explained it to him.

It turned out that Zhouzhou had seen from Grandma Qin’s face that he would encounter danger. She knew he had just finished work and was heading to the parking lot, so she guessed that the most likely place for something to happen was the underground parking lot.

That’s why Grandma Qin urgently told him to go to a crowded place.

Upon hearing these words, Qin Ze broke out in a cold sweat. Indeed, if his mom hadn’t called him just now, he would have gone to the parking lot. He carefully recalled the man’s position and realized that he had also come out of the elevator. He probably heard the commotion and followed them upstairs. Thinking of this, he was startled.

“Fortunately, everything is fine now,” Grandpa Qin sighed in relief. “Come back later when it’s bright, I have something important to tell you.”

His tone was serious and solemn, and Qin Ze could sense the gravity of the matter. He asked, “Dad, what’s the matter? Can’t you tell me over the phone?”

“It’s about Little Feng, about how his leg condition came about and the subsequent treatment.”

“What?” Qin Ze was shocked. “Dad, what do you mean?”

Wasn’t Little Feng’s leg condition congenital? Could there be another reason? And what did he mean by treatment? Could it be cured?

He had many questions, but Grandpa Qin didn’t say much. “I’ll tell you in detail when you come back.”

With that, he hung up the phone.

On the other end, Qin Ze’s mind was in turmoil. He quickly checked the nearest flights on his phone and found one in two hours. There was no time to pack his clothes, so he grabbed his identification documents and left.

Grandpa Qin looked at Grandma Qin and said, “Alright, A’ze is safe now, so you don’t need to worry too much.”

“Mmm.” Grandma Qin’s complexion had slightly regained some color. She held Zhouzhou in her arms and didn’t want to let go for a moment. Zhouzhou also obediently allowed herself to be held, occasionally raising her head to kiss her grandma’s face and chin, making her happy.

Seeing how well-behaved her granddaughter was, Grandma Qin couldn’t help but smile. She gave her chubby little face a big kiss and said, “Zhouzhou is Grandma’s lucky star. With Zhouzhou here, Grandma isn’t afraid of anything.”

“Mmm!” Zhouzhou nodded heavily, holding her hand and said seriously, “Grandma, don’t be afraid. Zhouzhou will protect Grandma!”

Seeing the adorable look of the little girl, Grandpa Qin’s heart softened. Indeed, they were fortunate to have her.

Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at the porcelain bottle in Zhouzhou’s hand. He asked, “Zhouzhou, can Grandpa buy a few of these pills?”

Zhouzhou shook her head. “Grandpa doesn’t need to buy. I’ll give them to Grandma.”

However, she glanced inside the bottle and saw that there was only one pill left. After thinking for a moment, she handed the bottle to Grandma Qin and said, “Grandma, you take this pill first. I’ll make some more later. Your heart condition is quite serious, so I’ll make a daily tonic for you. If you drink it consistently for half a year, it should improve.”

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Qin was pleasantly surprised. “Are you saying, Zhouzhou, that you made this medicine yourself?”

“Yes, I can make many medicines. Eldest Senior Brother said I’m even better than Master!”

As she spoke, she proudly shook her little head.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin couldn’t help but be amused by her boastful appearance. They liked her even more.

They had originally thought that the medicine was made by Zhouzhou’s master or someone similar, but they never expected that she could make it herself.

They had truly picked up a treasure!

Now, they had even more confidence in her ability to cure Qin Feng. Zhouzhou’s medical skills were likely even better than they had imagined.

However, Zhouzhou didn’t have the medicinal ingredients.

After thinking for a moment, Zhouzhou slid down from Grandma Qin’s leg and hurriedly ran upstairs. Before long, she came back with a small bamboo basket on her back and a small shovel in her hand. Seeing her ready to go out, Grandma Qin asked curiously, “Zhouzhou, where are you going?”

Zhouzhou put on her shoes while saying, “I’m going to gather herbs for Grandma’s medicine, and there’s not much medicine left for Seventh Elder Brother, so I need to make some more.”

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qin couldn’t help but suppress a smile as she held her back. “Is it necessary for you to go and gather them yourself? You can buy them at an herbal medicine store.

“An herbal medicine store?” Zhouzhou blinked her eyes and looked at Grandma Qin, puzzled.

“Yes, there’s a place specifically for selling Chinese herbs. Would you like to go and see?”

“Yes!” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

Previously, whenever she needed medicine, she had to go and find it herself. Originally, she used to gather herbs from the back mountain of Master Yi Yun, but she wasn’t allowed to go back there after she went to the Taoist temple. She could only search for them in the mountains by herself, which was quite tiring.

She never expected that there was a specialized store for selling herbs at the foot of the mountain. How convenient!

“Then…” Grandma Qin was about to take her there when she coincidentally saw Qin Ren coming downstairs. She said, “How about letting your Eldest Brother take you?”

Zhouzhou slowly turned her head and faced Qin Ren, shaking her head immediately.

Seeing her response, Qin Ren’s lips curled up, and he walked over, grabbing the little girl’s hand. He said, “Sure.”
