"Who is it? Are you looking for Mu Yun? He went to the mountains to hunt and hasn't come back yet."
Lin Jianxue didn't have time to speak.
Fu Qingqing next to him had already taken the lead and responded crisply:
"Grandma, it's me! Fu Qingqing!"
The gate of the courtyard creaked and was opened a crack from the inside.
Revealing a wrinkled, wary old man's face.
Grandma Su obviously recognized Fu Qingqing's voice.
Her cloudy eyes first fell on Fu Qingqing, and then she looked at the man and woman standing behind her.
The tall and silent Fu Zhewei, and Lin Jianxue next to him, who was wearing ordinary cloth but had a cold temperament.
The old man was obviously stunned.
She opened the door a little further and stood behind the threshold, leaning on a smoothly polished wooden cane.
She looked at the three people outside the door, especially Lin Jianxue.
This girl looks pretty and doesn't look like a girl from the village.
"Qingqing girl, are they...?"
Fu Qingqing quickly introduced: "Grandma, this is my brother Fu Zhewei."
She pointed at Lin Jianxue again and said, "This is Sister Xiaoxue, she's... the educated youth who recently came to the countryside to work in the fields here!"
"Oh... educated youth..."
Grandma Su nodded in confusion and responded.
Her gaze moved between Lin Jianxue and Fu Zhawei, and finally looked at Fu Qingqing.
Fu Zhawei nodded slightly as a greeting.
Lin Jianxue gave Grandma Su a gentle and shallow smile, without saying a word, and gave the initiative to Fu Qingqing.
Grandma Su looked at the net bags and oil-paper bags in their hands and felt even more puzzled.
"Who...are you looking for? What's the matter?" she asked.
Fu Qingqing said quickly: "Grandma, I'm here to find Brother Su. We want to ask him for a favor."
She tiptoed and glanced at the yard.
"Hasn't he come back yet? When will he be back?"
"He went into the mountains this morning, saying he was going to hunt some game. He hasn't come back for lunch yet," Grandma Su replied.
She raised her head and looked at the sky. The spring sunshine was already a little westward.
"Logically speaking, it's about time I came back..."
The old man frowned slightly, with a lingering worry.
She looked at Fu Qingqing again, her tone a little nervous: "Looking for Xiaomu...what? Did he...did he get into trouble outside?"
These days are not very prosperous. As an old woman with a half-grown grandson, she is most afraid of getting into trouble.
"No, old man."
Lin Jianxue took a step forward and slightly blocked Fu Qingqing, still with that gentle and polite smile on her face.
Her voice was clear and shallow, like the water melting in the mountain stream in April, gentle and clear.
"Don't worry, Comrade Su is not in trouble."
She paused and looked at Grandma Su sincerely.
"We have something to ask your grandson for help."
"Looking for Xiaomu's help?"
The confusion on Grandma Su's face deepened.
Her grandson is a taciturn person. Apart from hunting and practicing boxing, he rarely talks. How can he help others?
Moreover, these people... one is the child of a relocated family, and the other is a newly arrived educated youth... neither of them looks like they have any connection with my family.
"Help...help with what?" she asked hesitantly.
The old man had just finished speaking.
A cold, clear voice, typical of a young man, sounded from not far behind him.
The sound had no ups and downs, like the snow that never melts on the mountain top, or like cold iron that has been soaked in a deep pool.
"Why are you looking for me?"
