Chapter 310 - 283: People in the Spring Boudoir Dream
Chu Yu had stayed too long in the snow, frostbitten in her legs, her blood vessels blocked, resulting in her incapacity to move freely all winter. Several doctors claimed they could not treat her; if not for Guan Canghai rushing to assist in time, Chu Yu’s legs might have been doomed.
Even so, Chu Yu still needed several months to recuperate. During the period she could not walk, Huan Yuan had a wheelchair made for her.
Whether in the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Dynasty, Chu Yu had not settled down. To be more precise, she spent the entire winter intermittently searching for the body of Rong Zhi.
She never believed Rong Zhi was dead.
Perhaps this time, he was playing some trick, plotting something.
He had always been unscrupulous in deceiving others, even her.
Since that day after the snow, Chu Yu kept telling herself over and over again.
She followed the river searching downstream, settling temporarily wherever she found a place, not only along the waterways but also the surrounding areas; alive, she must see the person, dead, she must see the body, and unless she saw Rong Zhi’s corpse, she vowed not to be fooled this time.
To avoid any misidentification, each time a body was found, Chu Yu would personally confirm it. She was only looking for one person, Rong Zhi, but throughout the winter, she ended up seeing more than a dozen corpses.
Those who died of starvation, illness, cold, or were killed in conflicts or calamities, initially, Chu Yu merely verified if it was not Rong Zhi and would then have someone carefully bury the body after confirming. Gradually, later on, for each body, even after verifying it was not Rong Zhi, Chu Yu still had people inquire about their identities and try to locate their families, naturally, most of the time they found no one.
These already cold bodies, what were their surnames, did they have family, what joys and sorrows did they experience in life, was there someone else somewhere worrying about them?
