Chapter 82 Arriving in Beijing/Climbing the Wall

When Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing came out of the Beijing airport, it was already late at night. They heard that the nearest guesthouse was over two kilometers away, but they had never been here before and didn’t know their way around. They went to the gate and asked someone for directions to the guesthouse. At that moment, they saw the woman from their flight, with her child, walking towards a military vehicle. Before getting in, the woman turned around and looked at them, sneering disdainfully. Qian Xiaolan: “…” “Don’t mind her. We’ll go to the right.”

 Gu Yanqing took Qian Xiaolan’s hand and walked to the right, whispering to her, “You’re still unsure, right? Don’t worry about it.” Qian Xiaolan shook her head, “I was just wondering why I couldn’t get through to my family.” “If your body can handle it, should we just find a car and go directly home now?” Qian Xiaolan was very tired, but she couldn’t rest without figuring out the reason. She nodded in agreement. So, the two of them hailed a car at the airport gate and went straight to Rong Changhua’s house. They didn’t want to go directly to Qian’s house because it was located in a heavily guarded compound. It would be troublesome to go there without prior notice. Rong’s house was much more convenient. He was currently living in a two-courtyard compound with a good location. As Gu Yanqing knocked on the door, Qian Xiaolan’s hands were clasped tightly together. After three knocks, they waited for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

Gu Yanqing knocked again. This time, the knock was much louder, but they waited for another two minutes, and there was still no response. Gu Yanqing couldn’t help but speed up his knocking. “Maybe Grandpa just fell asleep too soundly. This house is so big, he might not have heard us.” Gu Yanqing tried to comfort her as he spoke. Qian Xiaolan finally remembered to use the space detection function. She scanned the house and found someone on the bed in the main room. She said to Gu Yanqing, “Your hand injury hasn’t healed yet. Wait for me here.

” Before Gu Yanqing could react, he saw Qian Xiaolan suddenly step back, take a running start, jump up, and climb onto the wall with her hands in three or two moves. She was so fast that even Gu Yanqing couldn’t stop her. After jumping over the wall, Qian Xiaolan went straight to the main room. Afraid of startling her grandfather by suddenly barging in, she stopped at the door and knocked, “Grandpa, it’s Xiaolan. I’m in Beijing. Are you home?” Rong Changhua, who was half-asleep, thought he was hallucinating again. He turned over and went back to sleep. Qian Xiaolan’s ear was pressed against the door. She heard the noise inside, but no one got up to open the door. She started knocking again. This time, she knocked hard and fast.

The old man sat up, rubbing his throbbing head. “Who is it?” “Grandpa, it’s Qian Xiaolan. Yanqing and I came to see you.” Rong Changhua finally confirmed that it was really Qian Xiaolan outside. He wanted to get out of bed, but his head was too dizzy. He said to the outside, “Lanlan, the door isn’t locked.” His voice was hoarse and dry, even scaring himself. Let alone Qian Xiaolan. She pushed the door open and entered the room. The old man turned on the light.

Seeing his grandfather’s abnormally red face and watery eyes, her eyes welled up, and her voice choked, “Grandpa, how did you get so sick?” This was her biological grandfather. He was living alone in a big house. He was sick, and no one even noticed. How pitiful! She picked up the enamel mug on the table, poured some water from the thermos, and fed it to him. “Lanlan, you…” “We’ll talk later. Lie down first. I’ll go open the door and let Yanqing in.” After saying that, Qian Xiaolan helped the old man lie down and rushed to open the door. “Grandpa has a fever. I’ll go in and give him an acupuncture treatment first. You find the kitchen and boil some hot water.

” Gu Yanqing agreed. Qian Xiaolan found her needle bag from among the luggage and ran back into the room. She opened the needle bag, took out a silver needle, and inserted it into the old man’s Dazhui, Quchi, Hegu, and other main acupoints. She also added a few auxiliary acupoints, such as Yuji and Guankou. The whole time, the old man wanted to speak several times, but he was too scared to open his mouth by Qian Xiaolan’s serious expression.

 After a few minutes, the old man’s temperature gradually subsided, and Qian Xiaolan’s expression softened. Then, she started to scold her grandfather. “Grandpa, you’ve been burning like this for more than a day, haven’t you? Why didn’t you tell Mom? You live so close. Why did you let it get so serious? Even if Mom doesn’t have time, there’s still your brother and grandfather. Even if they don’t have time, they could have sent someone to take you to the hospital.” “Do you think you’re made of iron? Or do you think you’re still young and can withstand it?” Rong Changhua lowered his head and didn’t say a word, scolded by his granddaughter.

Actually, he was very happy. He felt that his granddaughter cared about him. “Luckily, we came today. If we hadn’t come, do you know what would have happened if you had burned like this for a whole night? What would you have become tomorrow?” Qian Xiaolan had been talking for a long time. Seeing that he didn’t react at all, she squatted down and found that her grandfather had fallen asleep while sitting. He was smiling peacefully. Qian Xiaolan: “…” She was so angry that she couldn’t breathe. It was infuriating! Qian Xiaolan was so angry that she drank a large mug of water.

 When Gu Yanqing came down from upstairs and called her to eat, her stomach was full of water. Gu Yanqing chuckled and rubbed her head, saying gently, “I made some soup noodles. I’ll call Grandpa up to eat some too. Don’t be angry with him.

 I think he probably developed the habit of enduring illness from living in the countryside for so many years.” How could Qian Xiaolan not know this? It wasn’t so much that she was angry at her grandfather as it was that she was angry at the current situation.

Thankfully, these dark days were coming to an end, and spring was just around the corner. Qian Xiaolan followed Gu Yanqing to the kitchen to get the noodles. Old Master Rong secretly opened one eye, patted his chest in relief. “My goodness, this girl’s personality isn’t like her mother’s, but she’s seven or eight points like her grandmother.”

 After the two of them brought in three bowls of noodles, Old Master Rong pretended to have just woken up, “Lanlan, what delicious food are you making?” Qian Xiaolan gave him a sideways glance and said impatiently, “Alright, you’re not fooling anyone. I’ll feed you some noodles.” “Heh, no need to feed me, no need to feed me. Grandpa can eat by himself. Put that small table next to the bed.” Gu Yanqing saw the table he was pointing at. He lifted it with one hand and placed it next to the bed. Qian Xiaolan put the noodles and chopsticks in front of him.

 All three of them were starving. They silently slurped down half a bowl of noodles before they started talking. Old Master Rong asked, “Lanlan, did something happen to you two?” Otherwise, why would they rush back in the middle of the night? Qian Xiaolan’s mouthful of noodles got stuck in her throat. She sighed, “I called you guys several times yesterday, but no one answered. I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I rushed back here overnight after arranging for tickets. ” Old Master Rong’s heart warmed.

He laughed heartily, “What could happen to us? I even played chess with your grandfather the day before yesterday. Everyone is fine. You just had bad luck. When you called, everyone was busy.” Hearing this, Qian Xiaolan felt relieved and focused on eating her noodles.
