"You're still young, there are many things you don't know."
“Usually, soldiers like this, disguised, are carrying out missions. Hiding in a small place like ours with nothing special about it, is probably not a good mission.”
"Perhaps we'll have to wait until they complete their mission..."
Yun Dazheng shook his head, not finishing his sentence. He was afraid of frightening Yun Duo.
However, Yun Duo could tell what Yun Dazheng meant from his expression, and for a moment she felt both amused and exasperated, completely unsure of what kind of expression to give him.
"Grandpa, you're overthinking it..." Yun Duo looked at Yun Dazheng with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and said helplessly.
“Grandpa also hopes that I’m overthinking things, but you know, some things aren’t as Grandpa wishes them to be,” Yun Dazheng said. Seeing that Yun Duo was about to say something more, he added, “Alright, alright, child, Grandpa is old and has seen more things than you’ve ever heard of. Listen to Grandpa, Grandpa won’t harm you.”
Although Yun Dazheng felt that it might not be safe to let Yun Duo go to the county town alone to seek the protection of the black leopard, he thought that considering Xiao Jiu's abilities, it would be much safer than leaving Yun Duo in the village.
However, he didn't say it explicitly. The child is still young; if he explained everything clearly, she would only be frightened.
It's fine as it is...
But this means that Duo'er, being just a little girl, will really have to rely on herself from now on.
Thinking of his granddaughter's age, Yun Dazheng couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. He squatted down and hugged Yun Duo, then whispered in her ear, "Child, don't be stubborn. Listen to Grandpa, be good." His voice was slightly choked with emotion.
The clouds were completely bewildered.
It seems that my grandfather has experienced some bad things, which is why he is so wary of soldiers.
She suddenly realized that if she didn't tell her grandfather the truth, he would probably live in constant fear.
But... is it really okay to say it?
If I say something, my grandparents will get angry and blame me, right?
But if she didn't tell him... she was really afraid that her grandfather would fall ill from the stress.
For a moment, Yunduo was truly caught in a dilemma. Why did things, which had gone so smoothly, have to change so much and involve so many unexpected events?
Yun Duo couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and it was evident in her expression.
Yun Dazheng didn't know why Yun Duo was so upset. Judging from her expression, he thought he had frightened her and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. However... thinking of the 'time bomb' next door, Yun Dazheng hardened his heart again.
So what if she's scared? One day, she'll understand her good intentions.
In any case, being scared is better than losing your life.
These old folks, while they might not be said to have lived enough, have certainly had their fill. After sixty, every extra day is a bonus.
But the child is still so young...
As for the others...
He naturally couldn't bear to do it either.
However, compared to my granddaughter, she is still more important.
However, once his granddaughter is safe, he still needs to inform the village chief. What to do then is up to the village chief. As for his two unfilial sons… well, he'll secretly tell them later.
After all, they are his own children, and he would be heartbroken if something really happened to them.
Good heavens... I hope I'm just overthinking it this time.
