"No, I won't go."
The old man looked firm at this time and said in a determined tone, "Just go ahead. Grandpa will help you stop these people outside. I'm old and they won't do anything to me."
In fact, the old man was thinking that if they went down together, these villagers would definitely conduct a big search of their home.
Isn't it just a matter of minutes to find that cellar
However, if the old man stops them outside, hinders these people more and disturbs their psychology, maybe it can be delayed a little longer.
So the old man thought firmly, let the two young men go down to the cellar together, and he would help stop them outside.
"Grandpa... Grandpa... let's go down together, okay? Don't stop me outside, I'm afraid they will do something to you!"
Xiaohong said she was unwilling to do anything. How could she leave her grandfather and escape alone
Her grandfather brought her up since she was a child. Whatever happened, he would always stand unswervingly in front of her and withstand all the wind and rain for her.
This is why Xiaohong has not been bullied too much since she was a child.
Because grandpa would always stand by her side all the time, even if it cost him his life, he would still fight with others to the end.
But now, her grandfather is no longer the high-spirited grandfather he used to be. How could she leave her grandfather behind
"Xiaohong, obey!"
At this time, Grandpa said firmly to Xiaohong in a low voice, "Grandpa is already old and nothing will happen to you, but if you and this bastard are really caught by them, what will happen to you two?" It will be miserable, so you have to be more urgent, understand?"
"After you hide in the cellar, call the police quickly. Although it is difficult for the police to find the place where we live, I don't believe that the police will not be able to arrive within a few hours. As long as the police can come to this place, We will be saved, you know!"
It was precisely because of this that the old man would stand outside no matter what, delaying time for them.
"Grandpa... Grandpa..." Xiaohong was still crying. There was no way she could give up her grandfather.
This is simply living an ignoble existence and is treasonous!
Helpless, the old man had no choice but to look at Quan Zhichen on the side, "Hey, bastard, hurry up and take Xiaohong down to the cellar! If she doesn't want to, you can carry her down, and you must protect her." For this girl’s safety, you know?”
"grandfather."
Quan Zhichen felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
He is a man, and he can clearly feel the determination in his grandfather's heart at this moment.
As long as a man can protect the one he loves, he will risk his own life.
And grandpa has protected Xiaohong all his life. Of course he doesn't want to see anything happen to Xiaohong
Now, grandpa is even more confident about entrusting Xiaohong's safety to Quan Zhichen. How can Quan Zhichen live up to grandpa's wishes
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and firmly promised his grandfather, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely protect Xiaohong's safety. You must also remember to protect yourself!"
"Don't worry, I know."
The old man nodded, and then he lost his patience and urged, "Okay, stop talking nonsense here, you two, hurry up and hide in the cellar, hide it. The smell down there is a bit unpleasant. , you two be patient, but don’t make any noise, do you understand?”
"yes."
Quan Zhichen nodded seriously.
After that, he pulled Xiao Hong stiffly, dragging her without any care, and the two of them went to the backyard.
"Grandpa...Grandpa..."
Xiaohong looked at her grandfather's decisive figure and burst into tears for a moment. She kept struggling, "Brother, please let me go. I want to save grandpa. I want grandpa to hide with us. We can't leave grandpa behind!" "
Quan Zhichen could only comfort him rationally, "Silly girl, we are not abandoning grandpa. Grandpa is getting old, and the villagers won't do anything to him!"
"But if we take grandpa down together and the three of us are found together, the consequences will be disastrous. Do you understand?"
With that said, Quan Zhichen pulled Xiaohong abruptly and dragged her down to the cellar.
The cellar was built underground, and the top was usually covered with a piece of grass. It looked the same as the ground, and it didn't make anyone think there was anything mysterious about this place.
So after the two of them hid, they felt a lot safer.
And at this moment, there was a bang, and the door was kicked open!
The villagers who were cursing at the door rushed in one by one regardless.
After entering the door and seeing the grandpa, most people are not too polite and just yell, "Hey, old man, where is your little red?"
"We heard that she hides men secretly at home, which really ruins the morals of the village. How can we have such a woman!"
"Old man, I see that you are very old. If you are wise, hand over your granddaughter as soon as possible!"
"That is, if you confess, you will be given leniency, but if you refuse, you will be given strict punishment. Hand over your granddaughter as soon as possible!"
"And the man she is hiding in secret, let them both get out quickly and don't ruin the moral character of our village!"
"That's right, get out!"
Just like that, the group of people yelled unceremoniously.
In comparison, the old man was extremely calm at the moment. Listening to the dirty words of these people in his ears, he sighed softly at first and felt bad.
Then the old man raised his head, looked at all the villagers with an indifferent look, and asked, "You keep saying that my granddaughter is hiding a man, but do you have any evidence?"
"this… "
This sentence immediately silenced the villagers.
At this time, a tall man looked directly at Aunt Li next to him and asked, "Aunt Li, didn't you just say that Xiaohong was hiding a man at home? Where is your evidence?"
"That's right, where's your evidence?"
For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Aunt Li, asking her to provide evidence.
Aunt Li suddenly started to tremble when she was stared at by so many people.
Then, Aunt Li didn't know where she got the courage. She suddenly pointed to the room behind the grandfather and said, "That's right in there!"
"Just now when I was delivering the food, there was a strange noise coming from that room. I was about to go up to check, but the old man came out and stopped me. Do you think I am hiding a man? What else could it be?"
