"Really?" Hearing Xu Rongrong speak out what was in his heart, the old man asked happily and tremblingly.
"Really," Xu Rongrong nodded with a solemn expression.
"Haha, great, great, finally you don't have to worry about what will happen to An Nuan when I get old." The old man laughed happily, but tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. It was really called tears of joy.
Xu Rongrong also smiled, but at this moment, a girl's voice sounded again.
"Grandpa, Nuan, don't leave grandpa. Nuan can't leave grandpa." The ten-year-old girl was already sensible. After listening to the conversation between the old man and Xu Rongrong, she guessed what the old man was going to do, so she burst into tears.
Xu Rongrong was a little at a loss. She wanted to wipe the little girl's tears, but her hands were too dirty, so she could only squat down and look at the girl gently, "Nuan, how about you go with Auntie? Auntie will take you
Go to a very beautiful house where there are two little brothers to play with you, okay?"
"No." Although the girl was in tears, she was still very polite, "I'm sorry, auntie, A Nuan wants to be with grandpa, and A Nuan doesn't want to leave grandpa."
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Silly Ah Nuan, grandpa is old and won't live much longer. If you follow grandpa, what will you do in the end? Now it's easy to meet a kind-hearted aunt who is willing to take you away, so just follow him. No matter what
Whatever you do or wherever you go in the future, don’t forget what your grandpa taught you about being a human being.”
"No." Hearing the old man's words, An Nuan cried even harder, "Grandpa, when An Nuan grows up, I will only know you. Please don't drive An Nuan away, okay? An Nuan wants to be with grandpa."
, even if it’s just to accompany grandpa for the last few days.”
The girl cried so hard that Xu Rongrong felt sad when she saw it, but this was a matter between her grandparents, so she could only sigh helplessly.
"Oh, Ah Nuan, why don't you understand? It's God's will that this aunt can appear here, God's will." The old man smiled bitterly twice, then raised his head slightly, as if looking at the sky with cloudy eyes, "
God's will, grandpa's deadline is approaching, and it's only in these two days. God's will allows young people to appear here and take you away."
"Grandpa." After hearing this, the girl could no longer bear it and threw herself into the old man's arms.
Seeing his grandfather and grandson crying together, Xu Rongrong felt sad, but he also thought of a solution.
"Old man... Since Ah Nuan wants to spend the last time with you, then I will wait for Ah Nuan here." Xu Rongrong smiled and looked at the old man. She was also exhausted, so just wait for these two days.
"Really, really?" The old man looked at Xu Rongrong in surprise, and kept thinking in his heart, he met a good person, a good person.
That's fine. It's a blessing for An Nuan to be able to hand her over to a kind-hearted person.
The old man smiled, reached out and touched An Nuan's head, and said softly, "An Nuan, take Auntie back to our house. Wait, when grandpa leaves, Auntie will take you away."
Although A Nuan was still reluctant to leave her grandfather, she was already sensible and knew that no one could live forever. It would be very good to accompany her grandfather on his last journey, so she wiped her tears and helped the old man up, "Auntie, I will take you with you."
You go back to our house."
Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded, "Okay, Nuan."
In this way, the grandfather and grandson staggered forward, and Xu Rongrong followed behind, walking forward with a smile.
It took about more than an hour to walk. In fact, for ordinary people, it is only half an hour away. However, as the old man is old and can't walk slowly, he couldn't help it, so he walked for more than an hour.
During this period, we turned a lot of corners, and Xu Rongrong was already dizzy. No wonder she couldn't walk in. The road here was too winding.
Finally, the grandfather and grandson stood under a big tree, and Xu Rongrong was stunned.
There are obviously no houses nearby. Could it be that the grandfather and grandson live in a cave? Xu Rongrong was confused.
At this time, A Nuan suddenly let go of the old man's hand, ran forward a few steps, and struggled to move away many leaves. Only then did a house made of wood fall into Xu Rongrong's eyes.
"Yeah, a wooden house." Xu Rongrong was very surprised, because although the wooden house in front of him was a bit crude, it still had a strong ancient flavor. First, it must have been built very long ago, and second, the style was probably a bit like ancient times.
house.
"Haha, I made the lady laugh. This is a place I built to keep out the wind and rain when I came here." The old man smiled and walked into the wooden house with the help of An Nuan.
Xu Rongrong was both fresh and curious, and followed the old man in.
The wooden house is not too big, but it is well-equipped. There are some old-fashioned pots and stoves, and some earthen pots. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the books on the desk in the middle of the house.
Although we tried hard to preserve it, the wooden house was damp after all, causing the books to become a little damp.
Xu Rongrong took a few steps forward and found that there were some articles from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. She couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, the old man was already lying on the bed, and Ah Nuan was busy cooking. Seeing this, Xu Rongrong shifted his attention from the book to the girl.
"A Nuan, can you cook?" Xu Rongrong said in surprise.
Although she is an expert in the kitchen, she learned how to cook after she was eighteen years old. But A Nuan, a little girl of only ten years old, can actually make a fire and cook quickly, which is really surprising.
But considering that the old man is too old to cook, and there is no one else to take care of An Nuan, it is not surprising that he can cook.
Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong sighed, his nose full of soreness.
"Ah Nuan, let me help you." Xu Rongrong looked at Ah Nuan with a smile.
"Really?" An Nuan looked at Xu Rongrong's designer clothes. Although she had never seen them before, they felt very expensive. Thinking of this, she shook her head, "Auntie, please sit down first. You don't know how to light a fire, so let An Nuan
Let’s cook.”
Xu Rongrong hesitated, she really didn't know how to make a fire, but Xu Rongrong was so smart that she naturally knew how to solve the problem, "How about this, A Nuan will light the fire, Auntie will cook, and let Grandpa have a taste of Auntie's cooking, okay?"
Ah Nuan tilted her head, looking innocent and cute, thought for a while, nodded, and handed the small wooden shovel in her hand to Xu Rongrong, "Thank you, auntie."
"You're welcome." Looking at the cute little girl, Xu Rongrong smiled.
In this compartment, Xu Rongrong went to the stream to wash his hands, face, and vegetables, and prepared to cook. In the other compartment, Zhan Yiyang drove a Hummer all the way to the foot of the mountain where Xu Rongrong was.
Putting the Hummer on the side of the road, Zhan Yiyang got out of the car and looked up at the mountain. The inexplicable feeling in his chest became heavier and heavier, as if something was guiding him.
Behind him, Zhan Yilin and Chen Haoran followed closely and stopped the Bentley, and also parked the Bentley on the side of the road.
"Brother." Zhan Yilin shouted worriedly, but Zhan Yiyang raised her hand to stop her.
"Don't talk. I feel that Rongrong is here. Rongrong didn't go anywhere else. She is here." Zhan Yiyang nodded, his eyes firm, "I'm going to go up the mountain and take a look."
After saying that, he walked up the mountain quickly.
Zhan Yilin and Chen Haoran looked at each other and followed him up the mountain.
The mountain road Zhan Yiyang chose to take was exactly the same road Qian Jiali took while tying up Xu Rongrong.
Halfway through walking, Zhan Yilin suddenly stopped Zhan Yiyang, leaned over and picked up something from the ground, held it up and asked Zhan Yiyang, "Brother, look at this thing."
Zhan Yiyang's expression suddenly changed. It was a watch. It didn't look out of the ordinary, but it was actually a ten-year wedding anniversary gift given by Zhan Yiyang to Xu Rongrong. Now it was lost here.
"This is Rongrong's watch." He said tremblingly.
"Sister-in-law's watch?" Zhan Yilin's eyes widened instantly, "Does that mean my sister-in-law is here?"
"Yes." Zhan Yiyang nodded with difficulty, then quickly turned and walked forward, "Rongrong must be nearby, I want to find her."
Zhan Yilin glanced at Chen Haoran. Chen Haoran understood and directly dialed a number and mobilized five hundred soldiers to come here to help search for people.
Because he found the watch, Zhan Yiyang didn't dare to run directly. He looked left and right, trying to find any trace.
Not long after, five hundred soldiers arrived. After gathering, Chen Haoran briefly described what he wanted to do, and then asked them to disperse to search.
Be sure to search carefully.
Zhan Yiyang didn't believe it. He searched the whole mountain and couldn't find Xu Rongrong.
Time passed little by little, and Zhan Yiyang stood on the mountainside, holding his head helplessly and painfully.
"Why, why can't I find Rongrong? Rongrong, where are you? Where are you?" He curled up and murmured in a low voice.
At this time, Xu Rongrong, who was helping An Nuan comb her hair, suddenly felt a heartache.
She covered her heart with her left hand and squatted down.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Upon seeing this, An Nuan squatted down and looked at her very worriedly.
After spending just a few hours together, An Nuan has already fallen in love with this kind aunt. Not only is she beautiful, but she also cooks good food, allowing An Nuan to eat delicious food that she has not had in ten years.
After all, the old man is a man, and his cooking skills can barely satisfy a meal, but they are not delicious, so after Xu Rongrong cooked a meal, he captured Ah Nuan's heart.
"I'm fine." Looking at the considerate Ah Nuan, Xu Rongrong forced a smile and stood up straight.
Before, her heart cramped for a moment, making her unable to stand. Although she was still uncomfortable now, it was finally not that painful.
But the worries that had been vague in my heart came to the surface.
Because the old man's death is approaching, and An Nuan has to stay with the old man for the last two days, Xu Rongrong cannot pull An Nuan away either emotionally or rationally.
But without An Nuan, she couldn't get out of here.
Therefore, Xu Rongrong chose to wait for An Nuan here until the old man was safe and sound.
But the worries in her heart cannot be eliminated. She was taken away. Zhan Yiyang should be so worried. Now that she doesn't come back for a day, she is afraid that he will not be able to eat for a day.
