"Shiyu is a very well-behaved girl."
Grandpa Zhang nodded. "Kind-hearted and resolute, he's a good kid."
Don't worry, with all of us here, we definitely won't let anything happen to her.
Peng Qibo's tone was somewhat ingratiating: "With you guarding the village, no demons or monsters dare to show their faces, so of course we feel at ease."
"That may not be the case."
Grandpa Zhang gave him a meaningful look.
Their gazes shifted to Luo Pengfei.
This young man is handsome and has a military background; he seems to be of similar standing to the Peng family.
So he nodded. "That's right. Treat Shiyu well from now on. She's a good girl. If you dare to let her down, even we won't forgive you, understand?"
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely treat Shiyu well."
Luo Pengfei didn't care at all about being warned and threatened.
With a big smile, he replied, "If Shiyu suffers any injustice, feel free to hit me."
"Okay, that's more like it."
Grandpa Zhang smiled with satisfaction.
Those who don't know the truth might think he's Peng's grandfather.
Wen Lechun stepped forward and called out, "Grandpa, I'm Wen's son. I'm in a car convoy and I travel all over the place. I heard your eldest cousin is also the captain of the car convoy?"
"You're a cunning little rascal, you always seem like a troublemaker."
Grandpa Zhang sized him up a few times and bluntly exposed his past, saying, "You're a brave and daring young man, that's good. As long as you walk the right path, you'll go far."
Hehe~
Wen Lechun beamed with joy at the praise. "Grandpa, you flatter me. I'm just trying to make a living. I was hoping to get to know my cousin Zhang so we could support each other."
"This is a matter for you young people."
Grandpa Zhang waved his hand dismissively, "He's coming over next month. If you can meet him, it would be good to have a proper chat."
"Haha, old man, I've been waiting for this day."
"You all have your own things to do, so don't stay in the village too long. Leave early tomorrow."
"Alright, we'll follow your arrangements."
...
The three of them visited Mr. Zhang.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they walked out.
"This old gentleman~"
Wen Lechun gave a thumbs up, "A remarkable person, looks even more impressive than Uncle Xiang and Uncle Quan."
"Um."
Peng Qibo nodded slightly, "He is already a grandmaster, or has just stepped into the grandmaster realm; he is a hidden master."
"It's incredible."
Luo Pengfei clicked his tongue in amazement, "I can't believe it, Grandpa Zhang's aura is even stronger than Grandpa Peng's. Brother Qibo, it's really not easy for you to marry Lin Zhiqing."
"It's okay, Qibo is also very capable."
Wen Lechun said with a smile, "At worst, I'll get a few more beatings, but I'll definitely get married and bring a wife home."
Stop gloating here.
Peng Qibo glanced at them and said, "One day, you won't be any better off."
They chatted and laughed as they walked toward the educated youth's backyard.
They happened to run into Tian Danxiong and Wang Zhiqing.
They exchanged glances and nodded to each other as a greeting.
After the two people walked away.
The three of them exchanged a glance simultaneously.
"Are there a lot more educated youth in this village?"
Wen Lechun couldn't help but mutter, "There must be more than twenty educated youths in total."
"That's a bit much."
Luo Pengfei seemed to be deep in thought.
Suddenly, I remembered Grandpa Zhang's expression. "Could something have happened in the village that we don't know about?"
"How so?"
Wen Lechun asked curiously, "I haven't heard Xiao Nan say anything about what happened in the village. The biggest thing is that he and his cousin Zhang were chased by wild boars on the mountain a few days ago."
"Just ask Jingtian and you'll find out."
Peng Qibo also thought of Old Master Zhang's expression.
Clearly, the educated youth compound was hiding things they didn't know.
However, the information they gathered was only superficial, and they still hadn't discovered anything.
I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was.
That night.
They followed them to the cowshed.
Upon seeing the living conditions of Grandpa Sun, they felt both heartache and anger.
Unexpectedly, even the esteemed and respected old gentleman couldn't escape this fate.
"Alright, you kids don't need to worry about this old man."
Grandpa Sun didn't care at all. "I'm doing quite well in Shuibu Village now. I have food and drink every day and people to keep me company. It's much more comfortable than being watched by people in Beijing."
"Those people are getting more and more brainless."
Wen Lechun was still furious, saying, "I hope they will all eventually die from illness; that will be their retribution."
"You little rascal, you're still so outspoken."
Grandpa Sun smiled with satisfaction.
Although he was betrayed and ended up in this state.
Not everyone is ungrateful and incapable of distinguishing right from wrong and gratitude.
But there are also many people who genuinely care about him.
He stopped mentioning his own situation and looked at Peng Qibo and Luo Pengfei, "Shouldn't you two be in the army? What are you doing here?"
Has something happened?
"Grandpa Sun, you are indeed very perceptive."
Luo Pengfei immediately flattered him, saying, "We did indeed leave the army, and we can't go back for the time being. We've been transferred to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"You went to the Discipline Inspection Commission?"
Mr. Sun has been living in Beijing for many years and is very familiar with all the departments.
He immediately guessed what was going on. "You have a mission? Who is this person investigating?"
A mole? Or a Japanese soldier?
"Grandpa Sun, you know everything."
