Chapter 406 You will not betray me, and I will not betray you
Immediately, I felt that Qiangzi's hand holding my neck was much weaker, and then my body loosened and fell directly to the ground.
At the same time, there was a muffled groan next to me, and Meng Shiyu also broke free from Qiangzi's hand.
I looked up at Qiangzi, and I didn’t know when a yellow talisman had been pasted on Qiangzi’s forehead.
It was this yellow talisman that saved Meng Shiyu and I's lives at a critical moment.
Qiangzi stood upright in front of us. As I watched, a man slowly walked out from behind Qiangzi. This person was none other than Grandpa.
"Grandpa!" I shouted happily.
Suddenly I had the urge to cry. Everything else was just a cloud. Only my grandfather was the closest to me. Although he was a bit unreliable at ordinary times, in critical moments, he could always save me from fire and water.
Grandpa looked at me and nodded, "When will you let me have some peace of mind? If I hadn't appeared in time today, you would have been dead, and our Zhao family would have been extinct from now on."
I chuckled and said, "Grandpa, are you here?"
Grandpa rolled his eyes at me, "Okay, stop being glib and go see your little girlfriend."
When grandpa said this, I remembered Meng Shiyu, and Meng Shiyu fell next to me.
I hurried over and helped her up. Fortunately, Meng Shiyu's breathing and heartbeat were normal. She must have just been pinched by a hadron and fell into a coma. It's not a big deal. She will wake up after a while.
"You're such a capable boy. I've been so worried about you. I've been worrying about you being so depressed that you can't find a girlfriend. You're lucky, you actually started to make a fortune by being silent.
I have such a beautiful girlfriend outside and you haven’t told me yet." Grandpa squatted next to me and said to me dissatisfiedly.
I lowered my head in embarrassment, and then chuckled, "Grandpa, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but my relationship with Meng Shiyu has developed too fast, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."
Grandpa looked straight at me, "Do you think I don't know? You and Meng Shiyu have started a long time ago, and many people know about it. If your little girlfriend hadn't come to see you today, I wouldn't have known about it?"
I feel a little guilty because I did deliberately hide the matter about Meng Shiyu from Grandpa.
I quickly changed the topic and refused to continue on this topic with Grandpa. "By the way, Grandpa, why did you suddenly appear?"
"Could it be that you were here at the beginning, just hiding outside the door to secretly observe our situation, hoping to see if I could solve the problem on my own?"
Grandpa blinked his eyes, "Do you think I'm so boring? I did examine you before, but now you have grown a lot, and I have a certain degree of confidence in your strength. You are really lucky this time.
I knew you were here to keep vigil for the two elders of the Li family, so I wanted to come over and see you, but I didn’t expect that I would witness this scene as soon as I got here."
I let out a gentle breath and felt very lucky in my heart. This time we really survived the disaster. Just now, Meng Shiyu and I were choked by a hadron at the same time. If grandpa had been a step later, Meng Shiyu and I would be dead."
"By the way, I encountered a strange thing." I suddenly thought of something.
"What's the matter?" Grandpa asked me.
I carefully recalled everything that had happened so far in my mind. "Meng Shiyu and I were keeping vigil here. I heard some noises at night, and then I was woken up. Then when I woke up, I saw Qiangzi, who was already lying dead. I
At that time, I wanted to pick up the ghost-hunting weapon I had on me to deal with him, but I unexpectedly discovered that the yellow cloth bag and the thunderbolt mahogany sword you gave me were no longer on my body."
Grandpa raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is the yellow cloth bag?"
I shook my head, "I don't know. When I entered the Qiangzi Memorial Hall, I obviously brought the yellow cloth bag with me, but I couldn't find it when I needed it."
"You mean the things you used to eat were taken away?"
"I suspect so."
"Then who touched your things?"
Although grandpa was asking me, while he was talking, his eyes were quietly moving to Meng Shiyu.
I understood what grandpa meant. He had the same idea as me at the beginning, and he unconsciously suspected Meng Shiyu.
I waved my hand to Grandpa hastily, "Grandpa, I can 100% assure you that it was definitely not Meng Shiyu's fault."
Grandpa gave me a meaningful look, "East, the most incomprehensible thing in this world is the human heart. Your grandfather, I have lived for decades and have seen countless people, but a stranger stood in front of me.
I still can't guarantee that I can see through him. I can see that you like this girl named Meng Shiyu very much, but can you really be sure that she came to you because she really likes you or has some other purpose? "
I was silent, thinking back on what my grandfather said to me, and on the bits and pieces that Meng Shiyu and I had experienced together.
Then I raised my head to meet Grandpa's eyes and said firmly, "I still believe that all this has nothing to do with Meng Shiyu. At first, I also doubted Meng Shiyu, but then I held off Qiangzi and gave Meng Shiyu a chance to escape.
, but Meng Shiyu stayed firmly and chose to live and die with me. If grandpa, you had come a step later, she and I would have died."
After hearing this, grandpa looked at me seriously and suddenly smiled softly, "Dongfang, you have grown up. You can make your own judgments on many things. There are very few reasons I can give you."
Then grandpa patted me on the shoulder, "If everything is really as you said, then this Meng Shiyu you like is a very good girl."
I originally wanted to say something, but grandpa slowly stood up from the ground, "You and your little girlfriend can continue to keep vigil here! I'll go outside and take a look."
Then grandpa walked out the door, leaving only a firm figure behind me.
I shook my head, then picked up Meng Shiyu and put her on a chair nearby.
I sat next to Meng Shiyu. I didn't feel conscious just now. Now that I'm relaxed, I feel that my body is so tired.
What also made me feel a little upset was the yellow cloth bag I threw away. In fact, there was nothing in the yellow cloth bag, just some ordinary things. Those things are all over the street and can be bought very easily.
But I also lost the lightning mahogany sword that my grandfather prepared for me, which really made me feel bad.
Ever since I got the Lightning Strike Peach Wood Sword, I have been able to use it very smoothly and it has provided me with a lot of help.
Lightning strike wood is a very rare wood in the world, and the peach wood sword carved from thunder strike wood is a very rare treasure.
Throwing away the Lightning Strike Taomu Sword, no one can understand better than me how huge this loss is.
But complaining is useless now. The next thing I need to consider is how to find something to replace the Lightning Strike Peach Wood Sword.
"Hmm..." Just when I was thinking about the lightning striking the mahogany sword, Meng Shiyu, who was placed on the chair next to me, moaned softly.
She slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Where am I? Am I dead?"
I was stunned at first, and then smiled softly. Meng Shiyu's memory still stayed in the moment when our necks were pinched tightly by the hadron.
"Shiyu, you're already awake!"
"Dongfang..." Meng Shiyu looked at me in confusion.
I patted Meng Shiyu's hand gently, "Don't worry, none of us are dead. We are safe now."
Meng Shiyu rolled her eyes and looked around, then whispered, "I...I feel so sleepy!"
"If you are sleepy, just go to sleep! Don't worry, I will always be by your side. I promise you that I will protect you and never let anyone hurt you again."
Meng Shiyu looked at me with bright eyes for a while, nodded slightly, and then closed her eyes.
Soon Meng Shiyu's even breathing and slight snoring could be heard throughout the mourning hall.
Looking at Meng Shiyu's peaceful face, I said to myself in my heart, Meng Shiyu, I will protect you and not let anyone hurt you. This is a guarantee I give to you and a guarantee to myself.
Thinking of Meng Shiyu's unhesitating figure at the critical moment, you have not failed me, and I will not fail you!
