Chapter 31 The call at five o’clock in the morning

 After such a commotion at night, Hutao didn't sleep well all night, and she always felt that her sleep was not stable.

Until a phone call came at five in the morning, which completely made her sit up from the bed.

After hanging up the phone, she suddenly burst into tears and woke up Ling Yechen.

When Ling Yechen heard the crying, he turned on the bedside lamp, raised his head in a daze and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying at night?"

Hutao didn't know what she was doing at this second. She even forgot about the injury on her foot and said with sobs: "I want to go home. Now, you take me to the station."

As he spoke, he got up from the bed, picked up the crutches beside the bed, and got out of bed.

Ling Yechen was frightened by her action and quickly got up from the bed. He ran in front of her without even wearing shoes, grabbed her crutches and stopped her from getting out of bed.

"What are you doing? Your feet can't even touch the ground. Do you know what's going on?"

Ling Yechen asked.

But Hutao didn't seem to hear it, always repeating: "I want to go home... go home... I want to go home now, can you take me to the station?"

The whole person was twitching and couldn't even speak clearly.

Ling Yechen was anxious: "What's going on? You tell me what's going on first, and then I can help you."

Hutao then cried and said: "I just received a call from my mother, saying that my grandma is dying and asked me to go home."

This time I finally made things clear in one sentence.

Ling Yechen also instantly understood what it meant to be dying.

My body trembled and my heart beat involuntarily.

He looked at the crying girl, took a deep breath, and then said: "Don't cry yet, I will take you to the station now."

Hutao nodded obediently: "Well, I won't cry anymore, let's go."

Ling Yechen first put on Hu Tao's slippers and carried her into the wheelchair, then packed their luggage, put on his coat, and took Hu Tao out.

Although it was five o'clock in the morning, it was still not bright yet, so they found the car in the parking lot in the dark and got on the road in the dark.

Along the way, Hutao was very quiet and stopped crying, but she was so quiet that she didn't say a word, which made Ling Yeshen a little worried.

Although he didn't know how to comfort her, he still said: "Don't worry, I will send you back safely."

Hutao looked at him who was driving seriously and said, "Thank you."

Hutao knew that in her current situation, it would be very difficult for her to travel thousands of miles home alone, or she even felt that she couldn't do it.

So I didn’t refuse, just let him give it to me if he said so.

We walked all the way and arrived at Qu City. It was already dawn.

Ling Yechen drove directly to the airport and bought the two earliest tickets to fly to Jiang City.

As for Chen Wenxuan and the others, when they woke up in the morning, they saw the message in Ling Yechen's group chat, 'It's urgent, go back first, go to Hutao's house, and take care of Hutao's friends.'

These few words were sent by Ling Yechen before he got on the plane.

After seeing the message, several people went to the hotel room and looked around. No one was there. After asking the doorman, they found out that he and Hu Tao left around five o'clock.

Several people felt that Ling Yechen's absence was boring, so they got up and ate breakfast, packed their things and headed back to Qu City.

As for the people on the basketball team behind them, they don't care.

Jessica called Hutao several times but couldn't get through, so she was a little anxious along the way.

"Do you think something could have happened? Otherwise, why would the two of them leave at around five o'clock in the morning and still not be able to contact each other?" Jessica said worriedly.

Mu Chen thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, we are going to Hutao's house. The two of them may be on the plane and there is no signal."

Hong Tianyu said: "What happened to the Hutao family? Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Chen Wenxuan said: "My brother has been abnormal in every aspect since he met Hu Tao. Do you think he is crazy?"

Jessica snorted and said: "Why is he so stupid? Taozi can't even go to the ground now. He takes full responsibility."

Chen Wenxuan couldn't bear it when others asked his brother to take responsibility for Hu Tao, so he retorted on the spot: "What responsibility do you have? My brother has done a good enough job, but some people are just not satisfied.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Mu Chen quickly said: "Okay, okay, both of you should say less. Now is not the time to discuss this.

The two of them became quiet.

Hutao and the two got off the plane and went to the nearest car rental company. This was Ling Yechen's suggestion. Now that Hutao's feet were not convenient for landing, it was a bit difficult for the two of them to transfer to the bus.

The car rental process was relatively smooth. The two drove to Hutao's house and finally arrived at Hutao's village three hours later.

This is not the first time Ling Yechen has visited the countryside, but the overall feeling is slightly better than the villages he visited before.

Overall, the environment is good and the hygiene is very good.

Following the path pointed by Hu Tao, we arrived at Hu Tao's house soon after entering the village.

Her home is right on the roadside, and you can see the smoke and the hustle and bustle of life from a distance.

Hu Tao suddenly had a bad premonition when she saw the scene in front of her.

Sure enough, when I walked in, I saw familiar villagers, relatives and friends standing at the door in twos and threes.

When they saw the car stopped, they turned around curiously.

Hu Tao rolled down the car window and when they saw it was her, the villagers began to say: "Ah, Hu Tao is back."

Then I heard my aunt's voice: "Taozi is back." After saying that, she started crying.

Taozi was still lucky, but when she saw her aunt's tears, she already understood something.

Ling Yechen didn't have time to think too much. She got out of the car, opened the door, took out her wheelchair, and carried Hu Tao out of the car.

Only then did people around realize that Hu Tao was in a wheelchair.

Everyone was stunned and quickly came over to ask what was going on.

Especially Hu Tao's aunt looked at Hu Tao with a worried look and asked: "What's wrong with your feet? Why can't you walk?"

Hu Tao quickly comforted her: "It's okay, I sprained my foot at school."

Many people gathered around. Ling Yechen didn't know these people, but when Hu Tao greeted them, he knew that they were all Hu Tao's relatives and friends.

After Hu Tao's aunt noticed that Hu Tao was in a wheelchair, she immediately noticed Ling Yechen who was carrying Hu Tao out of the car.

He looked at Ling Yechen and nodded as a greeting.

Ling Yechen also noticed Hutao calling her aunt and the red and swollen corners of her aunt's eyes.

Hutao also forgot to introduce Ling Yeshen to others, because her whole heart was with her grandma.

Seeing her aunt's red and swollen eyes, she already guessed the result, but she still didn't want to accept the fact, so she asked: "How is my grandma?"

After she asked this question, her aunt stopped talking. After a while of silence, Hutao's aunt said: "People can't be resurrected after death. Think about it. This is human nature and a process we all have to go through."

Hu Tao didn't want to hear it, but the word death still entered her ears.

Tears fell disobediently, and then my aunt also cried.

The two of them cried together in front of the house.

Maybe the crying alerted the people inside. Hutao saw her mother walking towards her. Many people came out, including cousins, cousins, and uncles.

Many relatives and friends who are usually too busy to see each other are here.
