Chapter 378 I am from the Zhou Family
"Yes, Wang's family, you will know once you ask around." Then she took off a pearl hairpin from her head and said, "When the time comes, take this to the door and go in through the corner door, the doorman will definitely let you in."
Zhou Guo didn't take it. She turned her head to look at the opposite side. She saw a person who looked like a maid holding a little boy about two years old. The boy was delicate and had a pair of black eyes that were moving around. He was very cute. She remembered this child because he was the first one she pulled up. He was really good-looking and stood out among the crowd.
He said calmly, "No need, it's just a piece of cake for me. I'm here to look for someone, you don't have to thank me, I was the first one to pick him up because he looks so handsome and cute."
The young lady opposite was stunned, as if she didn't expect that someone would not accept her kindness. It is not so easy to enter their Wang family.
Zhou Guo waved his hand, "I'm leaving now, please do as you please."
After saying that, he turned around and left, but he didn't expect that people would surround him from all sides, kneel down with a thud, kowtow and cry to thank him.
Zhou Guo was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "Hey, hey, hey, everyone, please stand up, don't kneel to me, don't kneel to me, I'm still young, I will shorten my lifespan, I still want to live a few more years, if I want to thank you, I have to stand up and thank you!"
Everyone knelt down and kowtowed stubbornly.
After Zhou Guo finished speaking, she realized that this was an era of strict hierarchy, and it was common for a white-haired old man to kneel down and kowtow to a child of a few years old. But she came from a different place and grew up in an era of equality for all. She was suddenly transported here and landed in a farmer's house. She was not used to being kowtowed to by these people who were who knew how many years older than her.
The young lady looked at her curiously, and after hearing these words, she sighed, and the smile on her face became more sincere. Although she didn't know where this strange person came from, she looked like a sincere person. It seemed that saving them was really an unintentional act and she had no other purpose.
The people in the underground didn't care what Zhou Guo said, they just kowtowed and expressed their gratitude. They had nothing to repay him with, so they could only kowtow a few more times.
Zhou Guo's throat was splitting with shouting, but he failed to wake these people up. He didn't know how many times he was hit on the head. He could only go forward and drag them up by their arms.
"Hurry up, get up. I didn't do anything. Anyone who saw this would lend a hand. Alright, you have already kneeled and kowtowed. Now take your families back. Especially the children at home. I'm afraid they've been frightened!"
"I don't know where your benefactor lives. We can't make it today. We will go there tomorrow with a valuable gift to express our gratitude in person!"
Zhou Guo thought about the scene of being trampled at the door. Although he felt that the words "respectable gift" were very attractive, he still felt that the peace and quiet of his own home was more important. He quickly said, "That's not necessary. It's all a small matter to me. You should go back quickly. It's best to find a doctor to see them. It would be bad if they got sick from the shock."
Everyone had no choice but to thank him profusely and leave with their families. Looking at the person lying on the ground, they were even more scared. If it was a little later, they would be the ones lying there. This year's Lantern Festival was not smooth at all. Unexpectedly, someone died!
Zhou Guo finally looked at the young lady, smiled and nodded, then turned and left. She had no interest in getting close to a wealthy family. Look at the way they were doing a favor, it seemed like she was just about to say that she was trying to save people.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
She stopped, a smirk appeared on her lips, and she looked back.
The young lady came forward with a smile and said, "I'm sorry for offending you just now. It's my fault. You should still take this hairpin. Let's just treat us as friends. If you really need help in the future, you will have more options."
These sound like some decent words. Zhou Guo looked at the hairpin stretched out in front of him and thought it might be more appropriate to call it a hairpin. The petals were made of gold wire and inlaid with pearls of different sizes. The largest was the size of a soybean, the smallest was the size of a grain of rice, and there were two emeralds the size of rice grains, which were arranged in an orderly manner and looked very beautiful.
The most important thing is that it must be worth a lot of money!
Zhou Guo thought about what she had just said. Although it meant nothing to her, it was really a great favor to them. Maybe this was the only child in their family. Their threshold was not low. She didn't plan to visit them, but for such a big favor, taking this hairpin would make them even if they owed each other nothing, right?
Without hesitation, he took it and nodded, "Okay, I'll take this hairpin. It should be worth a lot of money. If I need money someday, I'll sell it. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she turned around and left without any more lingering feelings. She didn't come here to be bullied, and the doorman would definitely let her in. So would she definitely come?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. The faces of these wealthy families are so disgusting.
The maid came forward with the child in her arms, and looking at Zhou Guo's departing back, she said angrily, "Miss, this wild girl is too unruly, she doesn't take you seriously at all."
The young lady glared at her fiercely, "Shut up, she is our benefactor. Without her, you won't see the dawn tomorrow!"
Zhou Guo calmed down after walking for a while. They had lived in such an environment since they were young, so it was inevitable that they had the advantage of being in a higher position. She looked at the hairpin in her hand, which had pearls and gems, and pulled it off from her head with a smile, "Wang family? I'm still from the Zhou family!"
I put the hairpin into my bag. Great, I have some pocket money again. This can definitely sell for a lot of money, enough to buy a few acres of land.
When I got back out of the city, I found that everyone was back and was chattering about something with a mixture of fear and relief.
Seeing Zhou Guo coming back, he grabbed her and said, "Zhou Guo, did you see what was going on inside? I heard that many people died, and the people on the ground were all squashed, with their intestines hanging out, right?"
Zhou Guo said: "Who did you hear that from? It's not that exaggerated. Well, now that everyone is here, let's go back. This county should refrain from holding festivals like this in the future."
Today is somewhat unlucky!
Everyone was excited when they came, but dejected when they left. They didn't expect that they would encounter such a thing!
After returning home, Zhou Guo didn't tell anyone about the person she saved in the county town. It was not a big deal and it was all over.
Everyone washed their faces with hot water, soaked their feet, and went to sleep without even eating. It was a really thrilling night!
……
Winter in the north is longer than that in the south. After the New Year, the ice in the river is still as thick and the ground is still frozen hard.
After the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Zhou Guo asked people in several villages to see if there was any land along the river for sale.
