Five hundred yuan is a considerable sum of money these days. No matter how Zhou Chen tried to refuse, it was useless. In the end, he had no choice but to obey his subordinates.

Mi Wen also gave money, but he never accepted it.

Three months passed in a flash. Zhou Chen has been in this world for three months. He feels like he has entered old age early recently. He does nothing every day but eat, drink, sleep, and wander around.

Although the days were not very interesting, Zhou Chen enjoyed them. No, it should be said that he had to enjoy them.

The main task of the system is to make him live beyond 100 years old. He will have to live this kind of life sooner or later, so this can be considered as early adaptation.

For Zhou Chen, the first condition for completing the task is to maintain health.

Only by maintaining good health can he prolong his life.

During this period, Zhou Yi tried to introduce him to girls several times, but he turned them down on the grounds that he didn't have a job.

Early in the morning that day, Zhou Chen was wandering around the alley again, doing nothing.

"Hey, Xiao Zhou, you sneak out again."

"Yeah, go around."

Zhou Chen smiled and greeted the neighbors around him, then left slowly.

As soon as he left, the neighbors in the alley began to discuss in low voices.

"I don't know what's wrong with this Xiao Zhou. After he came back from queue jumping, he just wandered around all day long and didn't do any work. He's a good guy, but he's gone to waste just like that."

"Yes, a young man in his twenties, wandering around the alleys every day like a street urchin."

"The young man is not ugly. I was thinking of introducing my second sister's daughter to him. But who would dare to introduce her to him?"

"You want to introduce someone, but they may not be interested. What do you know? His uncle is a big leader and he has his own courtyard house. Even if Xiao Zhou does nothing, he lives better than us."

"Really? How did you know that? Aunt Wang."

"How many years have you lived here? I've lived here for more than 20 years. There's nothing I don't know about this huge alley. Xiao Zhou's father is a war hero. Stop making up stories about him behind his back."

"Aunt Wang, tell us, if this is the case, I will bring my niece and show him."

…………

Zhou Chen wandered around aimlessly. After three months of self-cultivation, he no longer felt as sad as when he had just left this world. He slowly buried his feelings for Zheng Juan deep in his heart.

This was not the first time he had done something like this, and he felt like a scumbag.

Love, and then let go.

But even so, he still didn't think that what he did was wrong.

He felt that he was just an ordinary person who traveled to the world of film and television, not to become a monk.

He doesn't know about others, but for him, if he was allowed to live in the film and television world for so many years but was not allowed to touch a woman, he really couldn't accept it.

If a man doesn't even want a woman, is he still a man?

Of course, it does not rule out those infatuated men who would stay with a woman for their entire lives.

But he is different. His life is not that simple. He has to experience countless film and television worlds. If he doesn't look for a woman to accompany him, does that mean he should look for a man?

"Ouch..."

Suddenly a scream interrupted Zhou Chen's wandering thoughts. He looked to the side and saw a woman lying on the ground not far away with a bicycle next to her.

"A car accident?"

Zhou Chen slapped his head and said he was used to it, but falling off a bike could also be considered a car accident, right?

The woman seemed to have fallen quite hard. She propped herself up and sat on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Zhou Chen looked around, thought for a while, and felt that he should carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng.

"In this day and age, there shouldn't be such a thing as touching porcelain."

Muttering to himself, Zhou Chen slowly walked towards the woman.

Walking up to him, Zhou Chen took a look and asked in a low voice: "Comrade, are you okay? Do you need help?"

The woman raised her head and Zhou Chen saw her appearance clearly.

She was about twenty years old, with two pigtails and a round face. She was not particularly pretty, but her skin was fair, and her eyes, in particular, were big and bright.

But at this moment her eyes were red and she looked at Zhou Chen with a nervous expression.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I just saw you fall and I was worried about where you fell."

The woman felt relieved. She whispered, "There was a rock here just now. I didn't see it, so I fell."

Zhou Chen said: "I see you didn't stand up, maybe your leg is injured, and your arm is bleeding. I know a little bit about medicine, if you don't mind, I can help you see where you are injured."

"This……"

The woman was obviously hesitant. After all, he was a strange man. In that era, the differences between men and women were much more conservative than they would be decades later.

"Don't worry, I won't touch you. I'm just checking. If it's nothing serious, it's fine. But if you hit a bone, it may leave sequelae if you don't get treatment in time."

Zhou Chen was not trying to scare the woman. There are many such things happening in medicine. Some people fall down and don't pay much attention to it, but it causes serious consequences afterwards.

Perhaps Zhou Chen's sincere attitude touched the other party, and the woman whispered: "My arm is broken, and my left foot hurts. It seems to have been pinched just now."

"You got it?"

Zhou Chen was very surprised. He squatted down and saw that the woman's exposed left ankle was a little red, but he couldn't tell just by looking at it.

"Comrade, I don't know if you twisted it or something. Do you mind if I press it to make sure it's a fracture?"

"I don't know if it's a fracture, but it hurts when I move it. Are you really a doctor?"

"I'm not a doctor, but I know some medical skills."

"Then, thank you for your help."

The woman thought about it and finally decided to let Zhou Chen take a look. She was also worried that she might have a broken bone.

"Okay, then bear with it."

Zhou Chen moved closer to her, put his hand on her ankle and pressed it gently.

"Ah..." the woman cried out in pain.

"Don't be nervous, just bear with it, I'll be fine soon."

As soon as he said this, Zhou Chen felt awkward, but he glanced at the woman and found that she didn't react, so he calmed down.

He pressed gently and helped the other person move a few times. Although the woman cried out in pain a few times, she did not stop Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen gently put the woman's foot down and said, "Okay, your foot is not broken, it's just twisted, and the bones are not injured. It hurts a little now, and it will probably be red and swollen later, but you can go back and apply cold compress for a while, and then apply hot compress after 24 hours, which can speed up the swelling."

Perhaps because Zhou Chen touched her feet, the woman's face was very red. After hearing Zhou Chen's words, she didn't react for a long time.

After realizing what was happening, his face turned even redder and he said sheepishly, "Oh, thank you, thank you."

"It's okay. Now that I've seen it, I'll definitely help if I can. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters."

As a doctor, seeing a patient and providing treatment is professional ethics, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

"Rest here for a while. I'll help you lift the car up and see if it's damaged."

Zhou Chen first helped the woman to sit down under the nearby tree, and then helped her up the bicycle. Seeing that her arm was still bleeding, he took out the handkerchief he had just bought not long ago.

"You are bleeding, wipe it with this first."

This era is not like the future when people could carry soft facial tissues with them. Nowadays, most people carry handkerchiefs.

As for toilet paper, it is still hard and not suitable for wiping wounds.

Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to leave. After giving the handkerchief to the woman, he chatted with her for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

For him, this is just a small episode that happened today.

Chapter 638: Han Chunming borrows money, villain Cheng Jianjun

Zhou Chen got up at around three in the morning. Today he was going to a place where there would only be people there in the early morning.

Under normal circumstances, everyone would go to places like Friendship Store to buy things, but some things cannot be bought in stores, or cannot be bought through normal channels, but everyone needs them, so what should we do?

So the black market naturally emerged to meet the demand.

Strictly speaking, the black market has existed since ancient times, but it is divided into many categories. Some of them are private transactions of normal items, while others are illegal.

Where Zhou Chen is going today is a relatively famous black market in the surrounding area. This black market is not open every day, but only on the 3rd, 6th, and 9th days of each month.

The reason why he chose this place is because the safety factor here is relatively high. He just wanted to buy some things he needed, but he was not prepared to resell them on the black market.

When we arrived at the black market, it was not yet dawn, but there were already many dots of light in the black market, and many people were moving around.

Most of them are secretive, and only a few do business openly.

Zhou Chen was wearing a hat and a mask and walking around in the market.

This place is not very big, but there are a lot of people. Although everyone is very low-key, it is still a bit noisy.

Zhou Chen walked around and found that the place basically sold some common daily necessities, fine grains, coarse grains, pork, chicken and so on.

With Voldemort's sister, Zhou Chen has no shortage of food for the time being, but what he is interested in is meat.

In these three months, he had eaten meat for a total of more than a dozen meals, several of which were at his second uncle's house, so when he saw the meat seller, he was really a little greedy.

Zhou Chen quickly decided on two stalls because the meat from these two stalls was the freshest.

The price of meat on the black market is a bit higher than that in state-owned stores, but this is normal. You need a meat ticket to buy meat in a store, but not on the black market. What's more, people are taking the risk to sell meat, so they certainly won't sell it at a low price.

Because the weather was hot, Zhou Chen didn't dare to buy much. He just bought a few pounds of pork and two chickens and left.

He originally wanted to buy some beef, but after looking at it, he felt it was not fresh enough, so he did not buy it.

Are you kidding? I’m going to live to be over 100 years old. What if I get food poisoning and hurt my body because the meat is not fresh?

The immunity skill can make you immune to infectious diseases, but not to food poisoning.

Zhou Chen carried a nylon bag and returned to his courtyard before dawn.

Because he has his own courtyard house, as long as he closes the door, he can do whatever he wants inside without worrying about being discovered.

After arriving home, he took another nap. There was no other way. To stay healthy, he had to get enough sleep.

He had set a goal for himself long ago to sleep at least ten hours a day and never stay up late.

Well, I won’t look for a woman for the time being. If I find a woman, not only will I have to stay up late, but it will also damage my kidneys and my vital energy. I’ll wait a few years before I can no longer bear it.

Zhou Chen slept until after ten o'clock before getting up and starting to make lunch.

Although it was only 75, gas stoves were already available at that time, so there was no need to use the earthen stove, which saved a lot of trouble.

After making some braised pork, some spicy and sour potato shreds, some smashed cucumbers and a glass of wine, Zhou Chen was ready to eat.

As someone who used to work in a winery, Zhou Chen naturally knew that drinking in moderation was not harmful. On the contrary, it was good for the body and could invigorate blood circulation.

When people say drinking is harmful to your health, it is all caused by drinking too much.

Before I picked up the chopsticks, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhou Chen frowned. It couldn't be Zhou Yi at this time of the day, because if Zhou Yi came, she would definitely come two hours earlier to help him cook, instead of rushing to the meal time.

Zhou Chen walked out of the main room and headed towards the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Han Chunming."

Zhou Chen opened the door, looked him up and down, and asked, "You haven't come to see me for such a long time, but you came at this time, are you here just to get a free meal?"

Han Chunming rolled his eyes immediately, "Am I this kind of person in your eyes?"

"What do you think?"

"Hey, you guessed it right, I'm just here to eat, can you please help me?"

Han Chunming's expression changed instantly, he made faces and looked cynical.

"Okay, stop standing at the door and come in. You're just in time. I just prepared the meal."

Zhou Chen led Han Chunming into the yard.

Han Chunming followed Zhou Chen and looked at Zhou Chen's courtyard carefully, with a look of amazement on his face: "Zhou Chen, your courtyard is too good, our courtyard is incomparable to yours, even my master's small courtyard is not as good as yours."
