Her reaction was a bit beyond our expectations, as if she had seen something terrible.
"Are you okay?" Hu Qiu stepped forward with some worry.
Xiao Qin quickly picked up the stainless steel plate from the ground and placed it on the curtain next to him. Then he quickly rushed to the gate of the yard and closed the gate nervously.
Then she grabbed me with one hand and Hu Qiu with the other, pulled the two of us and ran into the house.
I was a little confused. I didn't realize that this girl was so hospitable!
After Xiao Qin pulled us into the main room, he closed the main room door with his backhand, and then quickly rushed to the inner room. When he came out, he had two hand-sized sacks in his hands.
"This is Tianxiang Ye, please bring it quickly!" Xiao Qin urged.
Hu Qiu and I looked at each other, and we both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. We wonder what kind of medicine is sold in Xiao Qin Gourd?
At this moment, the door to the yard was suddenly pushed open, and then an old voice was heard.
"Girl, are you back?"
Xiao Qin's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly urged us to hurry up with his eyes, and at the same time responded.
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
While talking, she pushed Hu Qiu and I into the house inside, and gently closed the door.
I felt something strange, so I quickly put the linen bag, which could barely be called a sachet, into my pocket, and motioned to Hu Qiu to quickly put it in it as well.
As soon as all this was done, the door to the main room opened.
Then I heard the old voice continue to say, "Girl, what are you doing?"
"No, I didn't do anything!" Xiao Qin said.
"Then why are you panicking?"
The old voice was full of doubt.
Hu Qiu and I quickly moved behind the door and looked out through the thin crack in the door. We could see a tall old man standing in the main room, looking at Xiao Qin suspiciously.
Then, he seemed to smell something, his nose twitched slightly a few times, and he kept sniffing in the air.
"Did you bring a stranger back?" he asked Xiao Qin.
"No……"
Xiao Qin seemed a little nervous.
"You stutter when you lie. I obviously smell the scent of a stranger. Are you hiding me in the room?"
Grandpa said, looking back and forth between the doors of the two rooms. Hu Qiu was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head, and then leaned over again, because the crack in the door was very thin, and it was impossible for the outside to see us peeping inside.
.
Grandpa Xiao Qin hesitated for a moment and pushed open the door opposite.
Xiao Qin seemed to want to stop her, but was pushed away by her grandfather and stepped in.
Xiao Qin took the opportunity to secretly glance at the door from our side, his eyes full of worry.
Hu Qiu immediately cast a questioning look at me. Just as she was about to speak, I quickly made a silencing gesture to her, and Hu Qiu quickly covered her mouth.
Xiao Qin's grandfather didn't seem to notice anything in the room opposite, so he walked out and set his sights on our room.
He twitched his nose a few times again, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Strange, why has the smell disappeared again?" Xiao Qin's grandfather said in confusion.
With that said, he walked towards the room where we were.
Hu Qiu gave me a helpless look, and was about to open the door and walk out openly, but I quickly reached out to stop her.
Before I understand the situation, I don't want to expose it prematurely, because I always feel that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is a bit weird?
At this time, Xiao Qin's grandfather had already put his hand on the door handle, and suddenly heard Xiao Qin say.
"Grandpa, stop looking for it, the smell is coming from up here!"
Sure enough, the old man stopped and turned to look at Xiao Qin.
Only then did we discover that Xiao Qin was holding a stack of RMB in his hand, a total of twenty or thirty RMB, which was exactly the same amount of money that Hu Qiu had secretly stuffed into his clothes before.
When the old man saw so much money, his eyes suddenly lit up and he walked over. He stretched out his hand to take the money, put it under his nose and smelled it, then nodded gently.
"Well, it smells like this!"
The old man's expression softened slightly, and while putting away the money, he asked curiously: "What kind of job did you find this time, and why is there so much money?"
"I worked at a gas station and my boss gave it to me when I resigned," Xiao Qin said.
I immediately narrowed my eyes, Xiao Qin was actually lying, and she was lying to her own grandfather.
Xiao Qin's grandfather had no doubts and was obviously very happy to receive so much money.
"Grandpa, hurry up and eat. I brought meat rice dumplings from the city. You must like to eat them." Xiao Qin quickly changed the subject.
"Well, serve it! I have to go out after eating," the old man said.
"What happened, grandpa?" Xiao Qin asked.
"Nothing, let's eat!" the old man said.
Xiao Qin stopped talking and brought up the newly heated rice dumplings from the kitchen.
Soon, the sound of two people eating rice dumplings came from outside the house. The old man ate rice dumplings very quickly. He ate one rice dumpling in two or three mouthfuls. He gave the impression that he did not look like an old man, but more like a young adult.
.
"These rice dumplings are indeed good. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious rice dumplings. It's a pity that we can't go out because we don't know what the outside world is like. Bring more back next time. If there are other delicious ones,
Take a little of everything." Xiao Qin's grandfather said.
Xiao Qin hummed and nodded.
Soon, after eating the rice dumplings, the old man stood up straight.
"Okay, I'm going out, the prey hasn't been found yet, we don't have much time!" said the old man.
"Yes, grandpa, go quickly!"
Xiao Qin quickly stood up and sent the old man out.
"Jiuyang, why do you feel so weird about what this old man said?"
I nodded solemnly, "It's a bit weird."
"Is what he said true? Why can't he leave the village? Isn't this the secret of Changshou Village?" Hu Qiu looked very interested.
I shook my head and said I didn't know.
After sending the old man away, Xiao Qin closed the courtyard door again and then returned to the house. Hu Qiu and I also walked out, looking at her with puzzled faces.
We really don’t want to understand why she is so afraid of her grandfather, and why she didn’t see how ferocious and terrifying her grandfather looked?
Before we could ask, Xiao Qin hurriedly urged: "You guys should leave quickly! You must bring the sachet with you. You can pick it when you get out of the woods!"
"Why?" Hu Qiu asked.
"Don't ask, just leave quickly if you don't want anything to happen. My grandpa will be back in a while." Xiao Qin became a little impatient.
"What's wrong with him coming back? We're not thieves!" Hu Qiu said.
"You don't understand even if I tell you, let alone believe it. Anyway, leave quickly!"
"How do you know we don't believe it?" I asked, "You might as well tell us."
Xiao Qin kept shaking his head, "Don't ask, for the sake of this sister, I don't want anything to happen to you. If you are really discovered, no one can help you. In short, you shouldn't be here."
"
"What happened? What happened? Do the villagers here still dare to rob?" Hu Qiu asked with a smile.
"I'm not kidding you. Outsiders are not welcome in our village. Leave now!"
As Xiao Qin spoke, she reached out to push Hu Qiu and I, and she pushed us into the yard.
Just as she was about to be pushed out of the courtyard door, the courtyard door opened again without any warning.
A tall figure stood in front of the gate, looking at us blankly.
It turned out to be Xiao Qin's grandfather who had gone and returned.
