Zhang Yi comforted Uncle You. At this time, Uncle You had a different significance for Zhang Yi.
His body had mutated, and the type of ability was unknown.
However, according to Zhou Ke'er's description and current observation, it should be related to enhancing physical strength.
This was extremely crucial for Zhang Yi!
What he needed was a reliable... well, it might not sound good to say it. In fact, it was a laborer + meat shield.
"Take good care of your injury. Don't worry about other things for now." Zhang Yi comforted.
Uncle You said in a weak voice, "No way. I feel completely powerless all over my body now. I can't even lift my arms."
"If it continues like this, I don't know how long I will have to trouble you."
Zhang Yi knew it was the effect of muscle relaxants.
"It's okay. Just focus on recuperating. I'll take care of other things!"
Uncle You looked at Zhang Yi gratefully and nodded.
Hearing this sentence, Xie Limei beside him quickly said, "Zhang Yi, you are really good to my husband. Our family of three doesn't know how to thank you!"
"In the future, our whole family will rely on you!"
Uncle You's face flushed red. Weakly, he said, "Amei, we can't always trouble others. Wait until I recover from my injury. I can take care of you."
Xie Limei put her hand on his shoulder and said aggrievedly, "It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. You were shot! When will you recover? Even if you recover, your body won't be as good as before. What can you do?"
"Zhang Yi is so capable. What are you talking about if he wants to take care of us? Isn't this in vain of his kindness?"
Uncle You's face turned bright red. He was not good at speaking. Being said by Xie Limei, he didn't know how to refute.
Zhang Yi smiled slightly. "Sister Xie is right. I will be responsible for the life of your family of three in the future."
Xie Limei's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Zhang Yi, this is what you promised with your own mouth! You can't go back on your word!"
Zhang Yi nodded with a smile. "Of course. I, Zhang Yi, mean what I say and will never go back on my word!"
Uncle You was very embarrassed. "Zhang Yi, this... I..."
Zhang Yi stopped Uncle You from continuing.
"Just focus on recuperating!"
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave. Before he reached the door, he silently counted in his heart: 3, 2...
Before he could count to 1, Xie Limei's voice rang out.
"Zhang Yi, don't leave in a hurry. Sister has something to tell you!"
The corner of Zhang Yi's mouth curved slightly.
Xie Limei had been locked in this room for a day.
Although he provided food and hot water, people are always greedy. She would definitely have more demands.
Moreover, when she came over, she didn't bring any daily necessities for her and the child.
She must go back and get things.
Zhang Yi turned around and asked with a smile on his face, "Sister Xie, what's the matter?"
Xie Limei said, "Zhang Yi, we've been here for a day. The phone is out of power and can't be charged. The baby's diaper should also be changed."
"Otherwise, can you go and get it for sister?"
Zhang Yi smiled helplessly.
"Sister Xie, I've been busy all day and I'm really tired. You know, I'm always fighting and killing every day. Not only am I physically tired, but my spirit also needs rest."
"And I'm not familiar with Uncle You's house or your house. I don't know where things are placed either."
"Otherwise, you'd better go and get it yourself!"
After hearing this, Xie Limei hesitated for a moment. She glanced at Uncle You on the bed and felt a little relieved.
She stared at Zhang Yi playfully and said, "When sister comes back later, you can't not let me in!"
Zhang Yi said, "Hey, look at what you said! Am I that kind of person? Uncle You is still here. If I don't open the door for you, what kind of person would I be?"
Xie Limei gave a cunning smile and suddenly stuffed the baby in her arms into Zhang Yi's arms.
"Okay then. You take care of the baby for me first! I'll be back soon!"
Xie Limei thought that Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er couldn't take care of the baby. So as long as she left the baby behind, Zhang Yi would have to let her in.
Zhang Yi saw through this little thought clearly.
He sneered inwardly.
What? Do you think I can't throw this baby away?
On the surface, he still smiled and said, "No problem. But Sister Xie, you must come back quickly! I'm afraid I can't take good care of this child."
Xie Limei gave a proud smile. "Don't worry. I don't want to stay outside for long. This place is so good. I can't bear to leave!"
She looked at this comfortable house. Her eyes were full of satisfaction, as if she were looking at her new home.
Zhang Yi opened the door for Xie Limei and she went out.
Zhang Yi closed the door and looked down at the baby in the swaddling clothes.
This was a white and tender little baby. The skin was like water.
After seeing her, Zhang Yi was actually touched inside.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the child's little face.
It was cool, like a piece of tender jelly.
Zhang Yi took a deep breath. After all, he still couldn't bring himself to do anything to a child.
"Find a woman to adopt you later!"
Zhang Yi took out his phone, sent a message to Xu Hao, then held the child and went back to the ward to chat with Uncle You.
...
After Xie Limei left Zhang Yi's house, she suddenly felt a piercing coldness 袭来.
She shivered from the cold and quickly put on her hat and inserted her hands into her pockets.
"So cold, so cold!"
She looked back at the thick door of Zhang Yi's house. There was a hint of jealousy and longing in her eyes.
"It turns out that it's so warm inside this room. In comparison, outside is like an ice-cold hell!"
"My baby and I want to live here and will never leave! Only here can my baby grow up healthily."
Xie Limei thought of how the child would grow up and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
But the cold outside brought her back to reality.
She quickly hugged her arms and ran downstairs.
Just when she came to Uncle You's doorstep and took out the key to open the door and enter, a figure appeared behind her.
Xu Hao held a bloody kitchen knife in his right hand and chopped down on her neck!
"Pfft——"
Blood gushed out like a spring.
Xie Limei fell to the ground in a daze. Her wide-open eyes were filled with not only fear of death but also reluctance and worry for her child.
Xu Hao stepped forward. Worried that Xie Limei wasn't completely dead, he quickly added a few more cuts.
Only after confirming that Xie Limei had no signs of life did he nod in satisfaction and quickly leave the scene.
At Zhang Yi's house.
He sat in front of Uncle You's hospital bed holding the child and said with a smile, "I've thought about it. In the future, let Sister Xie live here with the child. When you recover from your injury and the child grows up, you can move back."
