Xiao En opened the door directly in Lan An's bedroom, which led to Chu Qiu Ze's bedroom.
In this way, Chu Qiuze would just return to his room from the palace, which would be safe.
He did not dare to delay and quickly went downstairs to greet Mother Lan. Then he opened the door and returned to Dahan through the front door.
Went to Uncle Yao's side.
Inside the palace, Lan An was guarding the entrance to the Gate of Crossing. The gate, which was originally large enough for two or three people to pass through, was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He couldn't help but frown. How far had Uncle Yao gone?
"Don't worry." Xiao En was also guarding here, "We should be able to hold this door open for another ten minutes or so."
If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Qiu Ze will have enough time to take the person back to the villa in about ten minutes, and then return to the palace through this door.
Chu Qiuze opened his eyes and almost lost his balance. It was pitch black all around him, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him. He also felt very cold, and the wind blew and his face hurt. He guessed that he must be in the woods now.
But what about Uncle Yao? Usually he wouldn't be too far away from the locator when he traveled, only a few meters at most.
My heart was buzzing with fear, maybe Uncle Yao lost the locator?
After calming himself down, Chu Qiuze took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight.
Sure enough, they were in a forest, and it looked like it was deep in the mountains. He was lucky and got through and stood on a big rock. There was thick snow all around.
At that depth, if someone stepped in, it would probably go over their ankles.
"Uncle Yao, where are you? I'm here to pick you up." Chu Qiu Ze called softly, afraid of disturbing the animals in the forest.
"Ahem." The sound came from the big rock mountain under Chu Qiuze's feet, "I'm here."
Chu Qiuze hurriedly climbed down from the stone and walked around it before he discovered that the stone was hollow and Uncle Yao was hiding inside.
At this time, Uncle Yao's face was already frozen purple, and it was obvious that he had been waiting here for a long time.
"Uncle Yao." Chu Qiuze went in and helped Uncle Yao up. "Come on, I'll take you back."
Uncle Yao nodded slightly. He read in Lan An's letter that he wanted to find a secluded and deserted place, so he went up the mountain two days ago. There is no place more secluded than the desolate mountains and ridges.
Even in such a cold weather, he was not afraid of anyone on the mountain.
This was unexpected. It snowed heavily yesterday. Fortunately, we found this cave, otherwise we would have frozen to death on the mountain.
Chu Qiuze shouted a command, and the next second, they were already in the living room of the villa.
Uncle Yao opened his eyes and was first stunned by the scene before him, then his mind was softened by the heating in the room. Turning around, he saw the person he had been thinking about.
Mother Lan looked at the person in front of her with tears in her eyes. She wanted to get closer but didn't dare to go forward.
Although it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order at first, I ultimately failed him.
Over thirty years have passed. Both of them are no longer young. Wrinkles have already appeared at the corners of their eyes, and even their body shapes have changed a little.
Only the affection in their eyes remained the same as when they were young.
"Uncle Yao, Mother Lan." Chu Qiuze had no choice but to interrupt the lovers' meeting, "Give me the locator first, I have to hurry back to Dahan."
Uncle Yao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then handed the item in his arms to Chu Qiuze.
"Mother Lan." Chu Qiuze hesitated for a moment before leaving. "You should tell Uncle Yao about this matter. Remember to discuss what I told you before with Uncle Yao. But there is no rush."
Mother Lan nodded in agreement, and Chu Qiuze quickly returned to the room, went back to the palace through that door, and pounced on Lan An.
"Did you pick him up?" Lan An held Chu Qiuze in his arms and warmed his hands. "Why do you feel so cold?"
Chu Qiuze nodded, drank a large glass of hot water, and then told Lan An what had happened.
Lan An did not express any opinion, after all, he was still his stepfather.
"Then are we going there tonight?" Chu Qiuze asked again.
Lan An shook his head and said, "It's too late today. Let's go there tomorrow."
Let the mother reminisce with her lover today. To be fair, if he and Chu Qiu Ze were forced to be separated for more than 30 years, they would probably go crazy when they reunited. Anyway, they have already prepared everything that needs to be prepared.
If anything happens, Mother Lan will also call them.
Chu Qiuze nodded, but he was still a little worried. He didn't know how long Uncle Yao had been squatting in the cave, and he didn't know whether he could bear it.
Mother Lan called early the next morning, when Lan An and Chu Qiu Ze were still sleeping soundly.
"Mother Lan, what's wrong?" Chu Qiuze was still in a stuttering voice when he answered the phone.
Mother Lan got straight to the point. "Your uncle Yao had a high fever last night, and it hasn't subsided yet. I was wondering if we could get a doctor to see him?"
Chu Qiuze woke up immediately from his sleepiness, "Mother Lan, don't worry, I will go back with Lan An now."
Lan An was also awakened. They were careless and should have given Uncle Yao some medicine last night as a precaution.
The two of them hurriedly put on their clothes, thinking that they were probably going to the hospital, and Lan An also changed into modern clothes.
"Very handsome." Chu Qiuze stood on tiptoe and gave him a big kiss.
Time was very tight, so Lan An ordered the servants not to enter his bedroom today, and then he followed Chu Qiu Ze out.
People in ancient times valued etiquette, so even though they were lovers whom they hadn't seen for many years, Mother Lan and Uncle Yao did not overstep the boundaries.
After talking to each other last night, they went to sleep separately. It was not until Mother Lan woke them up for breakfast this morning that she discovered that they were sick.
After Chu Qiuze and Lan An came downstairs from the bedroom, they saw Uncle Yao sitting on the sofa, forcing himself to straighten his back, as if he was afraid of causing trouble for them.
Seeing the two of them, Uncle Yao smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. I'm not in good health."
"Nothing." It was Lan An who answered, "You should have told us if you were not feeling well."
Mother Lan sat next to Uncle Yao and patted the back of his hand, signaling him not to be so nervous.
Lan An and Chu Qiu Ze both had the same idea. Since this was the man that Lan's mother had loved all her life, they would definitely accept him unconditionally.
Even if there is no affection, the most basic respect for elders is still there.
Chu Qiuze took out a thermometer and took Uncle Yao's temperature. "37.5 degrees, fortunately, not serious. Let's have breakfast first? After breakfast, we will go to the hospital?"
It's not that he wasn't in a hurry, but because of Uncle Yao's identity, he asked his brother to inform the hospital in advance.
It's not impossible for them to go to the community clinic, but he and Lan An planned to give them all some routine checks, and they happened to have time this morning.
Fortunately, there is a hospital at home, otherwise it would be inconvenient for them to see a doctor.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and President Chu Tianze has been very busy recently.
But he would never refuse his brother's request.
The family of five had breakfast and got into Chu Qiuze's car.
Chu Qiuze was driving, Lan An was the co-driver, and the elderly and children were sitting in the back.
An Bei smacked his eyes: "Dad, where are we going today?"
She was smart and knew that her family members seemed different from others, but she also learned modern titles. She called Chu Qiu Ze "Dad" and Lan An "Daddy".
It is unknown whether this was done by Mother Lan.
Chu Qiuze felt relieved and explained to him in a very gentle tone: "Grandpa is sick. We are going to take him to the hospital today."
An Bei's mouth immediately twitched. She knew what a hospital was. She also remembered that she had stayed in the hospital for several days. Although there were many beautiful ladies there, all of them wanted to prick her with needles.
It hurts so much.
Uncle Yao was stunned when he heard Chu Qiuze say the word "Grandpa". Everything now seemed like a dream.
But he knew that even if he dreamed, he could not dream of such a unique world.
Mother Lan held An Bei in her arms and kept comforting him, "Grandpa is getting the injection today, so An Bei won't get the injection today. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"Yes, yes, yes." Uncle Yao reacted quickly. He had heard what happened from Mother Lan last night, and he also knew An Bei's identity. She was his granddaughter. "Don't be afraid, An Bei. Grandpa only needs an injection when he is sick. If An Bei is not sick, she doesn't need an injection."
Although he didn't know what an injection was, and didn't understand why he needed an injection when he was sick.
Chu Qiuze and Lan An looked at each other and saw the affirmation in each other's eyes.
It was because of this eye contact that Chu Qiu Ze missed two familiar figures when he drove out of the community gate.
A familiar figure...
Father Chu held his wife's hand and said, "That was the second son's car just now, right?"
Mother Chu nodded. "It seems that the one driving the car is the second child."
The two elders looked suddenly solemn. Their second son's legs...
It was obvious that he didn't know that Chu Qiuze's leg had recovered. He was thinking that he had modified his car so that he could drive out now.
"But who is sitting in the car?" asked Chu's father.
Mother Chu thought of the driver's half-hidden face behind his hat, "Could it be that this is the second child's girlfriend?"
The two elders saw determination in each other's eyes.
"No, I have to go find them." Father Chu said anxiously, "Quick, call the second son and ask him what he is doing so early in the morning."
Mother Chu just took out her cell phone and thought carefully, "Let's call the boss first and ask what's going on."
Mr. Chu was silent for a moment, but finally accepted Mother Chu's opinion.
Although their family conditions are good, the second son is a disabled person after all. If the other party can still stay with him under such circumstances, it is either true love or she has ulterior motives.
That's why they came back a few days early, just to do a surprise inspection.
The two elders walked home while calling Chu Tianze to ask about the second son's situation.
When I first bought this house, I took into consideration that my two young children didn't like living with the elderly, so I bought three houses close together.
Since they hadn't been home for a long time, they went to the home of the eldest brother Chu Tianze.
When Chu Tianze received a call from his parents, he felt something was wrong.
Neither he nor his brother told the two elders about the recovery of his legs. As for the blue eucalyptus, they just avoided the issue and said that they would know when they came back to see it.
Now that he suddenly comes back... I guess those two are not prepared at all?
Chu Tianze thought that this wouldn't work. If he let the two of them meet their parents, they would probably suffer. Besides, Lan An's parents were there and it would not look good if there was a disturbance.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. No, he couldn't let his brother go through this. He had to take care of his parents before his brother came back from the hospital.
At least let my parents accept the identity of Blue Gum as an ancient person.
This will also give them a buffer period to confess.
Otherwise, based on his understanding of his father...this matter would be really difficult.
