Chapter 191 From now on, I'll be a college student.
"Wait for me a moment," Huo Yubai said to me.
I shrugged.
He walked over.
"What do you want to do?" White Hair frowned.
Huo Yubai walked up to him, suddenly grabbed his collar, and whispered something in his ear.
The white-haired boy's eyes suddenly widened, filled with shock and astonishment.
"How could you..." the white-haired man couldn't help but say.
Huo Yubai whispered something in his ear again.
White Hair exclaimed excitedly, "If what you said is true, you'll be my big brother from now on!"
"I would never lie to you." Huo Yubai smiled slightly.
"Big Brother!" White Hair turned to his companions and said, "Don't just stand there and call me Big Brother!"
"Big Brother!" the others exclaimed in unison.
I:"……"
Huo Yubai smiled with satisfaction: "Do you know who lives in that house?"
"Congratulations," said the white-haired man. "She's my own aunt."
Huo Yubai raised an eyebrow: "What's your name?"
“He Baolai,” the white-haired man replied.
"He is the next village chief."
"Yes, Hejia Village belongs to him."
His companions started to cheer him on.
"Get lost, what nonsense are you spouting? I have no interest in any of this." He Baolai snorted. "My biggest dream is to form a band!"
"Why did He Xi turn out like this?" Huo Yubai continued to ask.
"What else could it be? For love, of course." He Baolai shrugged. "Back then, she and another aunt of mine were fighting over a man, and neither of them ended up well."
"What's your other aunt's name?" Huo Yubai frowned.
“He Ya.” He Baolai explained, “My grandparents were very prolific, like rabbits. I have four aunts, and my dad is the youngest. But among my four aunts, Aunt He Ya was the best and smartest in her studies. When she was admitted to university, the whole village sent her to school, hoping that she would come back after graduating from university and revitalize the family. But I never expected that she would marry a poor boy.”
"And then?" Huo Yubai asked in a low voice.
“Then she disappeared.” He Baolai explained, “I don’t know much about it either. I only found out from occasional mentions from my family.”
I walked over and said, "I'd like to go see He Xi first."
"I'll go with you." Huo Yubai said seriously.
“I advised you not to go. My aunt has gone mad. She loves to bite people,” He Baolai said, trying to stop them.
"Yes, she bit someone, I saw it."
"I've seen it too."
"We just wanted to go and take a look." I smiled slightly. "By the way, why didn't you participate in the free clinic?"
“We young people are healthy, why would we need a physical exam?” He Baolai scoffed. “In my opinion, these people might have ulterior motives.”
I couldn't help but laugh: "How did you know?"
“You don’t watch the news much, do you?” He Baolai said knowingly. “Let me tell you, this kind of thing is very likely supported by my grandfather’s company, for that kind of thing, which is why I’m not going.”
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, young man. This matter is being led by the Ministry of Health and has nothing to do with foreign companies."
He Baolai snorted.
Huo Yubai and I turned and left.
"Hey, what's your name? How do I find you?" He Baolai called out.
"Just go to the Si Group and find a man named Si Chen," Huo Yubai said.
He Baolai stood up: "Okay, I'll go. If you lie to me, I won't let you get away with it!"
Huo Yubai turned his head away.
I gently patted his arm: "You're really good at talking. What did you promise him?"
“Si Chen’s company owns an entertainment company. He Baolai wants to form a band, so I asked Si Chen to help him,” Huo Yubai explained.
It turned out to be the case.
"Only a naive and foolish person would believe such a pie in the sky." I chuckled. "He believed it without even a written agreement."
"That's why kids are so easy to fool," Huo Yubai said with a smug smile.
We were getting closer and closer to that cabin.
Then they heard a woman's intermittent sobbing coming from inside.
"I want to go to school! I want to go to school! Why are you locking me up here?!"
"I'm a good child, I haven't done anything wrong, why are you treating me like this!"
"Stop hitting me, I'll listen to you, I won't say anything, please let me go."
"Woo~"
Huo Yubai and I exchanged a glance.
Just as we were about to move forward again.
Suddenly, a disheveled woman appeared behind the iron bars.
She stared at us with her dark, round eyes.
"who are you?"
Are you He Xi?
The woman frowned: "Who is He Xi?"
“We’ve come to see you.” I walked up to you. “We are doctors, and we’ve come to treat you.”
"Treatment?" The woman's voice was already hoarse: "I'm not sick, I'm very healthy. When I had my check-up, the doctors all said I was healthy, but they said I was sick. I'm not sick!"
"Alright, alright, you're not sick." I walked to the iron bars on the window. "Hold out your hand, let me take your pulse, okay?"
“No, my body and hair are gifts from my parents, I can’t show them to you, that would be impure.” He Xi turned away.
I felt somewhat helpless.
Huo Yubai walked to my side: "She's acting crazy right now, so we can't get anything out of her. As for my mother, we should ask those who are normal."
I didn't give up: "He Xi, do you know He Ya?"
He Xi turned her head: "He Ya?"
“Yes, she should be your sister,” I said.
"No, no, I don't have any sisters named He Ya." He Xi shook her head, counting on her fingers: "I have an older sister named He Xia, a younger sister named He Wei, and another older sister named... named..."
She seemed unable to remember.
"Is her name He Ya?" I asked.
He Xi shook her head vigorously: "No, I already said I don't have any sisters named He Ya. Can't you understand human language?"
I'm speechless.
He Xi thought and thought for a while: "I remember now, I have an older sister named... He Xi!"
"Yes, yes, I also have an older sister named He Xi!"
She is very happy.
"I have sisters, and I need to go to school." He Xi was confused: "Oh no, where's my schoolbag? How can I go to school without my schoolbag?"
I said to Huo Yubai, "It seems that He Xi's madness is more severe than we thought. However, perhaps there really are no clues on her. But I still want to try and see if we can rescue her."
“Saving people is not difficult.” Huo Yubai said solemnly, “The He family doesn’t care about her. They’ll just spend some money and hand her over to us.”
But I was worried: "I feel that things are not that simple. If this village just wants money from you, they don't need to be so secretive and keep it a secret from everyone."
"Where's my university acceptance letter?" He Xi was still lost in her own world: "I'm going to university, hehe, I'll be a university student from now on."
