In just a few words, I was' forcefully 'retained by my aunt. She said that no matter what, she had to get my help, as though she was certain that I could cure Lao Guo's wife's insanity …

Afraid that I would slip away, one of them held my hand while the other called Lao Guo's family.

Less than ten minutes later, I saw a thin, swarthy, middle-aged man walking toward us.

These two introductions, were actually the Lao Guo that the two great aunts had mentioned.

"Screech!" Lao Guo, what's going on with the back of your head, why are you still wrapped in gauze? " the aunt asked in surprise.

I took the opportunity to look, and saw that Lao Guo had a piece of gauze wrapped around the back of his head, and almost all of the hair on the back of his head had been shaved off.

"Aiyah, don't mention it." Lao Guo waved his hands with a face full of worry, as if he was unwilling to say more.

"He was beaten by his wife?" the aunt asked.

Lao Guo pulled his face and nodded, his expression looked to be even more bitter than Huang Lian's, he paused for a moment before raising his head to ask Aunt, "Where is the person who is so knowledgeable?"

Aunt immediately pointed at me and said, "It's this little brat."

I awkwardly nodded towards Lao Guo, I really didn't know how to introduce myself.

Lao Guo looked at me with unconcealable suspicion in his eyes, "This brat isn't even twenty years old, right?"

"Aiya, this age is nothing. Being able to take good care of the illness makes you very capable. Let me tell you, this bastard really has great ability. Furthermore, she's from the city!"

Ding Li and I obviously did not talk too much earlier, it was just that Ding Li's mouth quickly revealed that there was someone in his family who knew about this, and I was extremely modest in saying that I had heard a little about it.

Furthermore, after what happened to Uncle Little Lv last time, I deeply understood that my ability is extremely limited.

After hearing my aunt's' bragging ', she had already treated me like Old Half-immortal who came from the city. No matter how hard I tried to explain, I couldn't make sense of it.

Lao Guo begged me to go and take a look at his wife. Even if she can't, it's fine as long as she can see what's wrong.

"But our teacher forbids us from leaving …" I extended my hand to point at the location where the head teacher was standing a moment ago, but with that turn of my head, there was no other head teacher. I didn't even know where the driver had gone.

"It's nothing, it's not far. You don't need to leave the park, just follow this road up for a bit and turn at the edge." Lao Guo pointed to the concrete road in front of us.

"Do you live in the scenic area?" I asked.

"Yeah. Earlier on, this was all part of our village's territory. Later on, the developers came from the city and developed it for us, leaving behind our original houses, which were converted into small buildings. She pointed to a simple two-story building not far behind them, and said, "That's her house."

I hesitated a bit, but Guo begged and begged, and in the end I almost fell to my knees. I looked at him and saw that he was about my father's age, and there was a look of pain on his face, and there was a wound on the back of his head.

Afterwards, we followed Lao Guo towards his house. Big Aunt also had the heart to watch the show, so she simply closed the door of the small restaurant, saying that she wanted to follow us to take a look.

It was just as Lao Guo had said, his house wasn't that far away. We arrived at Lao Guo's house in less than half an hour.

Lao Guo's house's door was tightly shut, the door was wrapped in a three-finger-thick heavy iron chain twice, and there was a lock the size of a palm. I have never seen such a big lock before.

Lao Guo did not immediately open the door, but instead stood in front of the door and looked inside, then gave us a silent gesture, and said softly: "Let's be quiet, she really wants to sleep, it's troublesome if he doesn't wake up."

Seeing us nod our heads, Lao Guo then took the key to open the door softly, and then the iron chains accidentally knocked making a sound, causing him to freeze, and then when he realised that there were no movements, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Ding Li whispered beside me: "If this Uncle Guo didn't have the key, I would have thought that we were here as thieves."

When Lao Guo heard Ding Li's voice, he turned around and made a hissing gesture, saying that his wife's ears were extremely sharp.

We did not dare speak anymore, and directly followed Lao Guo into the house.

Normally, it would be very hot when we enter the house, but as soon as we do so, we feel rather cold, as if we have not been exposed to the smoke for many days.

As he passed by the kitchen, he saw that his family's furnace was empty. There was a large iron pot with some water in it on the stove.

"She's upstairs. We haven't been going downstairs much these two days. Should we go upstairs or something?" Lao Guo asked.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look." I said.

Lao Guo hesitated and said: "That's fine too, but in a while, you guys better not go too far ahead and hide behind me. "If something doesn't work, then so be it."

From his posture, he felt that we weren't going upstairs to see his wife, but rather to see some ferocious beast.

When they reached the stairs, Lao Guo picked up the broom that was placed to the side. His movements were consistent, as if he was preparing to go upstairs for normal times.

The few of us quietly made our way upstairs. There was a window in the corridor upstairs, and at this moment, it was tightly curtained off. Even though it was broad daylight, it was pitch black, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

When Lao Guo heard me pull the curtains, he turned around to stop me, saying that his wife won't let me open the curtains, or else things would get out of hand again. He then raised the broom and looked at the closed door warily.

We all thought that Lao Guo's wife would rush out, but after waiting for a minute, nothing happened.

Aunt whispered, "Did you fall asleep?"

Lao Guo shook his head and said that he didn't know, then walked to the door and asked us to wait outside. He went in to take a look, and as he spoke, he moved his hands and guards, gently opening the door.

The moment the door was pushed open, it released an ear-piercing 'squeak'. Aunt immediately took two steps back, as if she had seen Lao Guo's daughter-in-law's' power 'before.

However, after waiting for a while, there was still no reaction.

I felt it was strange, I just heard from my aunt and Lao Guo how fierce this Lao Guo's wife was, and how he was merciless when fighting, but he didn't even make a sound.

Lao Guo had already opened the door and was standing in front of it, holding the handle of the door with one hand and not moving an inch with his back facing us, no one knew what he was doing.

I was the first to probe out the situation as I walked forward. Ding Li and my aunt followed closely behind me. We stood behind Lao Guo and discovered that there was a person squatting in a corner of the room.

The curtains in the room were also drawn and the lights were not on. We could not see clearly and could only vaguely see that it was a person squatting there.

Lao Guo muttered to himself, "It's really strange!"

"Yeah, this is weird. "Why isn't your wife making a ruckus anymore?" The aunt also asked curiously.

"Turn on the lights." I said to Lao Guo.

Lao Guo hesitated and pressed the switch.

With the lights on, he could see a person squatting in the corner with his hands on his knees. His clothes were dirty, and his hair was as messy as weeds.

"Son's mother? What's wrong with you? " Lao Guo's voice trembled a little.

No matter how noisy this daughter-in-law was, no matter if she had really injured Lao Guo or not, she was still his daughter-in-law after all, there was no way Lao Guo would not care about her.

"Don't hit me, don't, don't …" Lao Guo's wife did not look up, but lowered his head and muttered.

Lao Guo's heart ached, he immediately walked into the house: "No one wants to beat you up, if anyone dares to hit you, I, Lao Guo, will fight with my life, don't be afraid ah …"

Perhaps, even Lao Guo himself didn't realize how gentle my tone had become when he said these words, as if he was patiently coaxing my own child. My heart couldn't help but be moved, and my desire to help this Uncle who cared deeply for me, Lao Guo, even more grew.

I also entered the room but didn't rashly get too close. Standing at a safe distance from Lao Guo's wife, I wanted to carefully look at her appearance.
