Chapter 140 Why didn’t you say so earlier?
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense and no one was willing to back down.
The village chief did not expect things to develop to this point. He secretly groaned, but still had to bite the bullet and step forward to act as a peacemaker.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. This matter was indeed my negligence. I didn't check with Shouye in advance. But now that it has come to this, can you both take a step back for my sake?"
"Why don't we both take a step back?"
"Shouye, you have already collected the money, so you must agree to let them stay overnight. As for you, Miss Du... Grandma Shouye is recuperating upstairs and needs to rest. You should stay on the first floor and don't even think about going upstairs. It's not a big deal to disturb her, but if the old man is weak and gets the old lady's disease, you will definitely not be happy, right?"
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Even though the nanny was not happy about having so many more people in the house, she had to give the village chief some face. She glared at Qin Shouye and agreed reluctantly.
"Then for the sake of the village chief, this won't happen again."
Du Anrao and the others were still thinking about finding an opportunity to sneak upstairs, so they naturally would not leave at this time, so they agreed.
But both sides had dissatisfaction on their faces, and it was obvious that they were not very satisfied with the result.
After such a commotion, Duanrao and the others lost interest in taking a hot spring bath. Besides, the old man was old after all, and was tired after running around all day, so after settling down, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Qin Shouye had just made a fortune and had just been humiliated by the nanny in front of so many people. He urgently needed to go out and find some fun to improve his mood. When he saw Du Anrao and others enter the room, he turned around and walked out.
But in fact, Duanrao and others did not sleep after entering the house, but paid close attention to the movements upstairs.
Sure enough, around eight or nine o'clock, there was a noise upstairs, and the nanny went downstairs to heat up the medicine for the old lady.
Du Anrao could hear the other party's dissatisfied complaints through the door: "That damn old woman is so stubborn that I have to suffer here with her. Wait until she spits out the painting, and then I'll show you how I'll deal with her!"
The voices were getting farther and farther away. Duanrao guessed that she should have gone into the kitchen, so he quickly opened the door and came out.
She never expected that as soon as she opened this door, the other two doors next to it also opened.
“What are you doing…”
Duan Rao poked his head in the direction of the nanny and gritted his teeth and said, "It's too late to explain. I suspect there may be some secrets hidden upstairs. Maybe some abducted women and children are imprisoned there. You wait here first. I'll go upstairs and take a look."
Those who already knew the inside story: "..." We should have cooperated with your performance and turned a blind eye, but this is a good excuse, and they will answer like this when someone asks them about it later!
"It's too risky for you to go alone. We will accompany you. A-Ming, let's go." Du Desheng had been waiting impatiently. When he heard what Du Anrao said, he immediately ran upstairs on crutches. His legs and feet were so nimble that he didn't look like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Before Du Anrao had the chance to say that it was not dangerous for him to go up alone, and that your large group of people might hold him back, he was dragged up by Du Junyan, feeling helpless.
Well, Grandma Qin had just experienced betrayal by her relatives, and without seeing her uncle, he might not be willing to believe that a stranger would follow her. The nanny would only have 10 to 20 minutes at most to take the fever medicine, so they had to hurry up and seize the opportunity.
The layout of the upstairs was similar to that of the downstairs. As soon as they went upstairs, they heard a faint cough. Following the sound, they quickly found Miss Qin's room. They pressed the door handle and it was locked?!
"This..." Du Desheng's expression changed slightly.
[This nanny is really cautious. She even locked the door when she went downstairs to heat up some medicine! ]
"What should I do?" My lover is just across the wall from me, and I really don't want to give up like this.
"How about trying to kick it open?"
But the door was obviously a solid wooden door, very sturdy, and everyone's eyes were focused on the captain of the bodyguards.
A-Ming: “…” Thank you so much for thinking so highly of me!
He thought so, but he could see the anxiety of several people, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try!"
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Amin kicked with all his might.
There was a loud noise, the door moved slightly, and someone's face looked a little distorted.
Du Junyan and the others felt very sympathetic: "If it hurts, tell me."
"...No, I'm not hurt."
[Tsk tsk tsk, what a real man, never complaining about the pain, awesome! ]
Everyone around: “…” My little ancestor, stop showing off at this time!
"Who, who is upstairs?" The movement upstairs really attracted the nanny's attention.
Seeing that someone was about to catch up and disrupt the situation, Duanrao thought to himself that something was wrong. Without thinking too much, he quickly stepped forward and turned the door handle. With a click, the seemingly indestructible stainless steel handle bent into a ball in an instant, and in just a moment it became a pile of scrap metal.
Everyone: “!!!”
A Ming, the wronged man who suffered a critical hit: "..." If you have the ability, why didn’t you say it earlier, my leg!
After a simple and rough violent unlocking, the door opened, revealing the old lady who had been guarded for a long time in the house.
Because of her illness, the old lady looked a little haggard, and her mental state was not very good. However, the elegance and composure engraved in her blood, and the tranquil and graceful bookish air still caught everyone's attention at a glance.
Du Desheng had imagined countless times the scene of reuniting with his lover after a long separation, but only when he actually saw her did he realize what it meant to be homesick.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the Bianjing City of forty or fifty years ago, and turned back into the young boy who had nothing but a sincere heart.
"Yan Qing..." Just calling out this name seemed to have taken up all of Du Desheng's strength. His eyes were red and he stared at his lost and found lover with almost greed.
Time flies, things have changed and people have changed. What the years have brought them is not only a long wait and torture, but also an appearance and makeup that are almost completely different from what they remembered, with no resemblance at all.
But even so, the two lovers who had never forgotten each other recognized each other at the first moment.
When Grandma Qin heard Du Desheng's gentle call, her whole body trembled. She timidly looked at the old man in front of her and called out cautiously, "Ah Sheng?"
It seemed as if he was afraid of being refuted, or as if he was afraid of waking up from this beautiful dream he had been having for many years.
"It's me, it's me, I'm Ah Sheng, I'm here to find you!" Du Desheng clutched the comb he carried with him and ran to his lover.
When Grandma Qin saw the comb, she finally confirmed the identity of the person in front of her. She also had tears in her eyes and complained in a rare and fragile way: "Why did you come just now?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I came too late and made you wait for so long."
The reunion of lovers after years of separation is certainly touching, but at such a touching moment, it is inevitable that some people cannot read the expressions clearly and come to spoil the fun.
"What are you doing here?"
