Chapter 491 Fearful
Chu Tian then remembered that he had exposed Sha Zhu's chicken theft last time, which led to Sha Zhu being fired from the factory. It seemed that Sha Zhu was here for revenge this time.
"Shazhu, I was wrong last time. I apologize to you." Chu Tian said, "But you can't follow me. What does this mean?"
"Apologize? Do you think an apology can solve the problem?" Sha Zhu roared, "I will make you pay the price today!"
After saying that, Sha Zhu swung the wooden stick and hit Chu Tian.
Chu Tian dodged quickly and barely avoided Sha Zhu's attack.
"Silly Zhu, calm down!" Chu Tian dodged and persuaded, "If there is anything between us, we can discuss it properly. There is no need to fight!"
"Negotiation? What's there to discuss with someone like you!" Sha Zhu roared, "Today it's either you or me!"
Sha Zhu's attacks became more and more fierce, and Chu Tian gradually became unable to resist. He knew in his heart that if he continued like this, he would be injured by Sha Zhu sooner or later.
At this moment, Chu Tian had an idea and thought of a solution.
He pretended to be defeated, staggered back a few steps, then suddenly turned around and ran deeper into the alley.
Seeing this, Sha Zhu thought Chu Tian was scared, so he laughed triumphantly and chased after him relentlessly.
Chu Tian ran into a dead end and Sha Zhu followed him in.
"Chu Tian, let's see where you can run!" Sha Zhu said with a grin.
Chu Tian turned around with a strange smile on his face. "Silly Zhu, you've been fooled!"
Before Sha Zhu could react, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.
It turned out that Chu Tian had discovered this dead end a long time ago. He deliberately lured Sha Zhu here and then knocked him out with a brick.
Chu Tian looked at Sha Zhu lying on the ground and shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to fight with Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu was so aggressive that he had no choice.
Chu Tian dragged Sha Zhu to a hidden corner and then left the alley.
After returning to the courtyard, Chu Tian lay on the bed, thinking about what happened today. He didn't expect that he would have a conflict with Sha Zhu and even knock him out.
"Oh, what is going on?" Chu Tian sighed, feeling annoyed.
He didn't know how to deal with Sha Zhu's matter. If he called the police, Sha Zhu would definitely be arrested. But if he didn't call the police, Sha Zhu would definitely come after him to seek revenge after waking up.
Chu Tian thought about it and finally decided not to call the police. After all, Sha Zhu was just impulsive and his crime did not deserve death.
He decided to wait until Sha Zhu woke up and then have a good talk with him in an effort to resolve this grudge.
The next morning, Chu Tian got up early and came to the alley where Sha Zhu was hiding.
He found that Shazhu had disappeared.
Chu Tian was shocked. Could it be that Sha Zhu had woken up? Would he seek revenge on him?
Just when Chu Tian was feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard a voice behind him:
"Chu Tian, you are so cruel, you actually knocked me out!"
Chu Tian turned around suddenly and found Sha Zhu standing behind him with a kitchen knife in his hand!
Chu Tian's heart shuddered, and he subconsciously took a step back. Sha Zhu looked really scary at the moment, with dishevelled hair and bloodshot eyes, like a demon that had just crawled out of hell. The shiny kitchen knife in his hand reflected a chilling light in the morning sun.
"Shazhu, calm down! Put down the knife!" Chu Tian tried to stay calm. He knew that he must not anger Shazhu at this moment.
"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down!" Sha Zhu yelled hysterically, "You knocked me out and left me in that shabby alley for a whole night. I almost froze to death!"
Chu Tian groaned in his heart. He really didn't expect Sha Zhu to stay in the alley all night. He thought he would go back after he woke up, but who knew that Sha Zhu was so honest.
"Shazhu, I really didn't mean it. You were too excited at that time and I was afraid you would hurt me..." Chu Tian tried to explain.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Sha Zhu interrupted him rudely, "You must give me an explanation today!"
Chu Tian rolled his eyes and came up with a plan. "Silly Zhu, how about this? I'll take you to a place where I promise you can calm down."
Sha Zhu narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Where?"
"You'll know when you get there." Chu Tian smiled mysteriously.
Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He wanted to see what Chu Tian was up to.
Chu Tian brought Sha Zhu to the backyard of the steel mill, where some medicinal herbs were piled up, which were collected by Chu Tian on a daily basis.
"Shazhu, I've been researching a new medicine recently that's very effective in treating injuries from falls. You were injured by me yesterday, so you can try it." Chu Tian said as he dug out a bag of herbs from the pile of medicine.
Sha Zhu looked at Chu Tian with doubt. "Can you cure diseases?"
“I know a little bit about it.” Chu Tian smiled modestly, “This medicine is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. It’s definitely effective.”
Chu Tian crushed the herbs, mixed them with water to make a paste, and applied it on Sha Zhu's head.
"Hiss...it's a bit cold." Sha Zhu grinned.
"It's good to be cool. It can reduce swelling and relieve pain." Chu Tian said seriously.
Sha Zhu was skeptical and allowed Chu Tian to fiddle with him. Chu Tian knew that this medicine had no miraculous effect at all, it was just some ordinary herbs. He did this just to delay time and find a way to make Sha Zhu calm down.
After a while, Chu Tian prescribed some oral medicine for Sha Zhu and told him to take it on time every day.
Although Sha Zhu was still somewhat unconvinced, since Chu Tian both apologized and treated his illness, he really didn't know what to say.
"Shazhu, go back and have a good rest for a few days until your injury is healed." Chu Tian patted Shazhu's shoulder.
Sha Zhu snorted, turned and left.
Chu Tian looked at Sha Zhu's departing back and breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally sent this plague god away.
In the next few days, Chu Tian was always worried that Sha Zhu would come to him again.
However, to his surprise, Sha Zhu never showed up again.
A week later, Chu Tian ran into Sha Zhu in the factory. Sha Zhu looked much better, and the wound on his face was almost healed.
"Shazhu, how do you feel?" Chu Tian asked with concern.
"Much better." Sha Zhu's tone was obviously much more relaxed, "Your medicine is quite effective."
Chu Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his strategy worked.
Chu Tian also prescribed the same medicine to Li Huaide, the canteen director of the steel mill, saying that it could regulate the body and strengthen the body. After taking a course of treatment, Li Huaide felt comfortable and energetic, and was very grateful to Chu Tian.
From then on, Li Huaide took special care of Chu Tian, often assigning him some easy work and giving him some delicious food from time to time.
Chu Tian knew in his heart that Li Huaide was repaying him for "saving his life."
With Li Huaide's care, Chu Tian's life in the factory became more and more comfortable.
However, the good times did not last long.
One day, Chu Tian was eating in the cafeteria when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Chu Tian, come out!"
Chu Tian looked up and saw that it was Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, Jia Zhang!
Jia Zhang walked up to Chu Tian angrily, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You little bastard, what did you do to my daughter-in-law?"
