Huo Jue took a look at her frightened expression, then quickly reached out and patted her shoulder, saying soothingly, "Don't worry, someone will definitely come!"
Gu Wanwan frowned and looked at Huo Jue in front of her: "But it's been so long, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
She turned her head and glanced at Huo Jue, who couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment.
On the other side, Huo Chen walked out stealthily. When the passersby saw Huo Chen's figure, a hint of surprise flashed across their eyes: "Huo Chen, where are you going?"
"Auntie Fatty? Why are you here?"
Huo Chen paused and looked at her. Aunt Fat smiled, her eyes fixed on Huo Chen, and she quickly said, "Isn't this the doorstep of my house? It's not strange that I'm here, right?"
She frowned and stared at Huo Chen with concern: "But you, why are you walking towards my house?"
Huo Chen smiled dryly, and looked at Aunt Fatty with a bit of concern in his eyes: "Aunt Fatty, I'm going the wrong way."
He reached out and rubbed his hair, looking at her embarrassedly: "I really didn't expect you to be here."
With Aunt Fatty's words, Huo Chen's eyes were also mixed with some concern: "Okay, then I'll leave first."
Aunt Pang looked at Huo Chen's hurried steps and looked away in confusion. She returned home with a heavy heart, and now when she looked at Huo Chen, she also muttered a few words.
Chen Yanfang looked at her mother, puzzled in her heart: "What's going on with you?"
"Yanfang, you're here just in time."
Auntie Pang quickly spoke out, looking at Chen Yanfang and said, "What do you think he did?"
Chen Yanfang shook her head, her eyes filled with surprise: "You said he came here in such a hurry?"
Auntie Fatty nodded and looked at Chen Yanfang and said, "Yes, you think this won't be a problem, right?"
Chen Yanfang stared at her mother with burning eyes, thought for a moment, and quickly said, "Then I'll go over and take a look."
Her voice came, and Aunt Fat responded: "Okay, go over and take a look."
Aunt Fatty's eyes were filled with a hint of helplessness. When she heard her daughter's words, she quickly agreed: "Then go over and see what's going on."
Chen Yanfang responded and hurried out of the house.
On the road, hot air rushed upwards. Chen Yanfang wiped the sweat dripping from her forehead. She didn't dare to stop as she was almost reaching Huo Jue's granary.
"Did you hear anything?"
Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on Huo Jue. Huo Jue shook his head, but Wen Xia Nuan frowned.
She held her breath and finally heard footsteps. She nervously patted Huo Jue's shoulder and said, "Someone's coming! There are footsteps!"
Huo Jue's eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan, who said seriously, "Really? Listen!"
Her voice was tense. Huo Jue looked at her for a few seconds, his eyes filled with concern. "That's indeed the sound!"
His eyes lit up instantly. Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on Huo Jue. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Really? I said there were footsteps!"
She tugged at his arm forcefully: "Huo Jue, hurry up and say something to her!"
Huo Jue stood up from the ground and knocked on the door hurriedly.
Wen Xia Nuan also kept her eyes on Huo Jue, and at the same time hoped that the people outside the house could hear what was happening here.
Chen Yanfang paused, looked towards the granary a few times, and quickly walked towards it.
The door was locked. Chen Yanfang lowered her head and looked for a few seconds. At this moment, she couldn't help but shout into the house, "Is anyone there?"
Wen Xia Nuan was practically crying with joy. She tugged at Huo Jue's clothes and asked excitedly, "Did you hear that?"
There really is someone!
Wen Xia Nuan knocked on the door, and Chen Yanfang outside said, "Wait a minute, the door is locked. I'll go see if there's a stone I can use to break it open!"
Chen Yanfang was looking for the stone everywhere. The moment Wen Xia Nuan felt relieved, she finally looked towards Huo Jue.
Huo Jue could only see a vague shadow through the cracks in the granary. He asked with doubt in his voice, "Yanfang?"
Chen Yanfang paused, and when Huo Jue realized it was really her, he urged, "If you can't find the stone, go back and tell your family to get some pliers or something."
"Got it, Brother Huo Jue!"
Chen Yanfang didn't expect that Huo Jue was imprisoned here. She was anxious and ran back in a hurry.
Huo Jue stood there, took a look at her leaving figure, and said to Wen Xia Nuan soothingly: "Don't worry, she should be back soon."
Wen Xia Nuan was not worried, but she was curious about how Chen Yanfang had followed her here.
Could it be that she saw something?
Wen Xia Nuan didn't know how to guess, but she had her own opinion in her heart.
Chen Yanfang hurried back home, and seeing her mother coming to greet her, she quickly said, "Oh no, Mom, do we have any pliers or something at home?"
Auntie Pang was completely confused. She looked at Chen Yanfang angrily and said, "What are you talking about? What do you want these for?"
Chen Yanfang's eyes fell on Aunt Fatty and she said, "Brother Jue is locked in the granary! The door is even locked. I think Huo Chen did it!"
Aunt Fat was stunned, and Chen Yanfang urged her, "Don't just stand there like an idiot! Go and take a look!"
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Auntie Pang came back to her senses, her eyes fell on her daughter, and she quickly took out a series of things: "Hurry over and take a look. It's so hot, don't let Jue faint from the heat!"
Her voice was nervous, and Chen Yanfang responded, "Mom, let's go quickly."
Chen Yanfang and Aunt Pang walked hurriedly all the way to the door of the granary. Aunt Pang had already started working with the pliers in her hand.
Chen Yanfang stood by and watched as they hammered the lock again and again. She then said to Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan inside, "Brother Jue, Wen Zhiqing, please be patient. This door is about to be opened!"
Huo Jue heard the voice and his eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan: "Did you hear that? She's almost breaking down the door!"
He smiled soothingly, and Wen Xia Nuan responded, "I know."
She breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing Huo Jue was also relieved, Wen Xia Nuan said, "Let's talk about it after we get out."
Huo Jue's eyes fell on her. Listening to Wen Xia Nuan's words, Huo Jue was always curious: "Are you suspicious of something?"
Wen Xia Nuan smiled, and Huo Jue raised an eyebrow: "Just tell me what you want to say. You're not trying to hide it from me, are you?"
