Chapter 391 Awakening (Part 4)
Just as Grandma Cai scooped up a spoonful of porridge and was about to put it into her mouth, she heard a familiar voice coming from the door, so she immediately raised her head and looked towards the door.
When she saw that the person coming was indeed Lu Xiaoxiao, she immediately said happily: "Xiaoxiao, you are here."
"Grandma Cai, please drink the porridge first and then we can talk." Lu Xiaoxiao said after looking at the porridge in Grandma Cai's hand.
When Granny Cai heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she nodded and finished the porridge she had not finished before.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you for rescuing me from that village." Grandma Cai put the bowl on the table and said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Grandma Cai, please don't thank me. Saving you was an agreement we made before I left the village, so you don't deserve my thanks.
And you almost lost your life so that I could leave the village. I owe you an apology and a thank you."
"It's not because of you that I was beaten half to death by them." Grandma Cai said after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"But the village chief said that you were put in the water dungeon because you stole the map." Lu Xiaoxiao said immediately after hearing what Grandma Cai said.
"What that villain said cannot be trusted."
"Then why were you locked up in the water dungeon by them?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"They heard from somewhere that I had the key to the treasure, so they arrested me and tortured me."
"Do you really have the key to the treasure trove?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked immediately after hearing what Grandma Cai said.
The reason why Lu Xiaoxiao asked so anxiously was because she remembered that Zhang Xu had told her before that his great-grandfather had never been able to find the treasure place, and wondered if it was because he lacked the key to open the treasure place.
Granny Cai smiled when she heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said and said, "I don't even know anything about the treasure land, how could I possibly have the key to open it."
"Then why would someone spread the news that you have the key to the treasure?"
"Maybe it's someone who doesn't like me. Aren't there many people who have lost their lives due to being framed by villains these days?" Grandma Cai said self-deprecatingly.
After hearing what Grandma Cai said, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't believe her reasons at all. After all, flies don't bite eggs without cracks. However, whether Grandma Cai had the key to the treasure land or not had nothing to do with her. She asked just now out of curiosity.
"Will Granny Cai and her people come to see you again in the future?"
"I don't think so. They beat me till my last breath and still didn't get any information about the key to the treasure from me. So they should verify the source of the information to see if it's true or not."
"So what are your plans for the future?"
"Just now, a young man named Zhang Xu told me that the country has arranged my accommodation and future life, so I can just rest assured and enjoy my retirement." Grandma Cai said with a smile.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect Zhang Xu to act so quickly. As soon as Grandma Cai woke up, he had already arranged the follow-up matters for her.
"Then do you want to go to that alley and take a look?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice after looking at Grandma Cai.
Granny Cai froze after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said. After a long while, she said, "I'm not going."
"Why?"
"It's been decades, and if nothing unexpected happened, he must have had many children and grandchildren, so what would it matter if I met him?
And it is very likely that my presence will disturb his current life. Since we missed each other back then, let’s just live our own lives now.”
