Hearing Yun Duo's words, Yun Dazheng disregarded what he hadn't finished saying and subconsciously asked, "What did you remember?"
Yun Duo said with an air of seriousness, "I remember now, Uncle Wu and the others seem to be soldiers, or officers. I've seen their officer's ID cards."
Although Yun Duo knew that Gu Wu and the others were not soldiers, she thought that getting military status shouldn't be a problem, right?
No matter what, soldiers are the protectors of the people. If she says that, Grandpa shouldn't be so scared anymore, right?
This also explains why Gu Wu had a gun.
Little did she know... this world wasn't the country she had come from.
In any country, soldiers are undoubtedly the protectors of the people, but in this world... that may not be the case.
"Soldiers?" Upon hearing Yun Duo's words, Yun Dazheng's brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why would soldiers come to our little village out of the blue, and do so secretly, hiding here? What is their purpose? Is it..." At this point, Yun Dazheng's face turned deathly pale, as if he had thought of something very bad.
"Duo'er, I feel something's wrong. Those people next door aren't just ordinary soldiers... They're either deserters, or..."
“Child, we have to get out of here…”
"No, no, no, we can't leave. We've already paid our respects to County Magistrate Cao and Master Leopard..."
"It's my fault, it's all my fault, if only I had known... if only I had known..."
Yun Da shook his head in frustration, then gritted his teeth, took Yun Duo's little hand, and said, "Child, listen to Grandpa. In a little while, Grandpa will give you all the money in the house. Take the money, take Xiao Jiu, and leave our Lu Family Village. Go far away to the county town to find County Magistrate Cao... no, you should go find Master Leopard."
"Master Leopard is a filial son. His old lady needs royal jelly. If anything happens, he will protect you."
"Don't come back for now. Wait for Grandpa to come find you. If Grandpa doesn't come, then... then you absolutely must not leave Leopard's estate..."
Yun Dazheng's words left Yun Duo stunned.
What was her grandfather imagining?
All she said was that Uncle Wu and his family next door might be soldiers, right? Why does he look like he's facing a major disaster?
"No, Grandpa, what's wrong? Did you misunderstand something?" Yun Duo couldn't help but grab Yun Dazheng's hand and ask, slightly louder.
Hearing this, Yun Dazheng became anxious and quickly lowered his voice, saying, "Kid, keep your voice down!!!" As he spoke, he tried to reach out and cover Yun Duo's mouth.
Yun Duo quickly covered her mouth and winked at Yun Dazheng, as if to say, "I'm being good, I won't speak loudly anymore."
Yun Dazheng stopped covering Yun Duo's mouth, but he couldn't help but walk to the door and peek outside. After a while, he was sure that everything outside was normal, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Duo was a little helpless, but she still covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Yun Dazheng, saying in a low voice, "Grandpa, you don't need to be so nervous. Uncle Wu and the others are not bad people, really, I'm not lying to you!"
"You silly child," Yun Dazheng shook his head and said, "Would a bad person carve the words 'I'm a bad person' on their forehead?"
