Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Old Man Zhou has been captured for more than half a day now, without a drop of water.

In addition to the cold weather, when he was tied up and dragged here by a tractor, his entire body was frozen stiff. Being thrown here, with the icy snow behind him, he passed out from the cold long ago.

But in his heart, he always remembered the promise he made to the little girl, that no matter what, he must live well.

It was precisely because of this thought that he clung to life.

He couldn’t just die like this.

If he died, those who had tormented him might get what they wanted, or perhaps they no longer paid any attention to him.

But there is still one person in this world who would be very sad.

”Grandpa Zhou, wake up.”

Look at that, he’s even hallucinating now, hearing the little girl’s voice.

Girl, don’t be sad, Grandpa Zhou won’t be defeated.

When Gu Lingling and Yang Yunhai came in, they saw Old Man Zhou had already fainted on the ground.

When the police came to make arrests, the scene was very chaotic, but as though forgotten, no one noticed there was still a person lying here.

Or they saw and chose to ignore.

”We must quickly get him to the hospital.” Yang Yunhai felt under Old Man Zhou’s nose, then took off his cotton coat to wrap him and lifted him, ”He’s still alive.”

Gu Lingling blankly followed behind Yang Yunhai, even when Old Man Zhou was sent to the hospital, she clung foolishly to Yang Yunhai’s sleeve, ”He’s...he won’t die, right?”

In the dream, Old Man Zhou had fainted like this, sent back without a bit of awareness, and soon died.

Now it was already dark, he’d been left alone for who knows how long.

Yang Yunhai didn’t know how to answer her.

”There won’t be any problems.” Yang Yunhai didn’t know how to comfort her, but fortunately, a voice quickly emerged.

”How is he?” Yang Yunhai stepped forward and asked.

”Fortunately, he was sent in time, but since he’s elderly, he needs to stay in the hospital for observation for two days,” the doctor said, ”The patient’s will to live is also very strong, so don’t worry, he should wake up later.”

Yang Yunhai said thank you and took Gu Lingling to the hospital room.

Old Man Zhou hadn’t woken up yet, his face somewhat flushed. The doctor had also explained that it was normal to have a fever after passing out from the cold.

”The drip has already had an antipyretic added to it,” the nurse said as she checked his IV situation, ”The patient should wake up later, if there’s anything, call me at the nurse’s station.”

”Brother Yang, thank you,” Gu Lingling said with red eyes.

Without Yang Yunhai, how could Old Man Zhou have been admitted to the hospital?

”Will this cause you trouble?” Thinking of Old Man Zhou’s identity, Gu Lingling was a bit unsure. Yang Yunhai had helped her so much, she couldn’t keep causing him trouble.

”What trouble could there be? It’s just encountering an elderly person frozen along the way,” Yang Yunhai said lightly, ”Come on, I’ll take you to eat something first.”

”I’ve already sent word to the village, someone will probably come to take care of him.”

Saving Old Man Zhou was already the limit; now, the care should be handed over to the village. After all, his identity was still a problem; only the village people coming to care for him is appropriate.

”I understand.” Gu Lingling walked to the side of Old Man Zhou, speaking to the unconscious Old Man Zhou, ”Grandpa Zhou, I’m leaving first. When you are well and return to Nanshui Village, I’ll see you. You promised me, you must live well.”

After she finished speaking, the three of them left.

After they left, tears flowed from the corner of Old Man Zhou’s eyes on the hospital bed.
