Five hundred and ninetieth chapters make all preparations
Xie Yao looked at the food box on the table, and then at the concern on her grandfather's face that she tried her best to suppress but couldn't suppress. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she threw herself into her grandfather's arms and started crying!
Old General Xie was stunned for a moment subconsciously, and immediately felt the grievance contained in Xie Yao's suppressed cries. His old eyes instantly turned red and tears filled his eyes.
He stretched out a trembling hand, patted Xie Yao's back, and said in a choker voice, "Cry! Grandpa knows that you have endured too much pressure, and it will make you feel better if you cry."
Xie Yao suppressed her voice, cried a few more times, and then stopped. She lowered her head and wiped away the tears before raising her head.
She didn't want to cry.
Chu Han disappeared without a trace. She led everyone to search for him for four days and nights!
Hopes are raised again and again, and hopes are shattered again and again!
No one knows what kind of journey she has gone through in her heart!
But she was not afraid and persevered.
When faced with everyone's concern and safety, she could keep her expression unchanged and respond calmly, but for some reason, when faced with her grandfather's concern, she couldn't help it. She suppressed her emotions for five whole days.
All explode!
She didn't want her grandfather to worry!
"Grandpa, I'm fine." She said in a low voice.
Old General Xie glanced at Xie Yao silently, with concern and distress that could not be hidden in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, slowly opened the food box, took out the food inside, and placed it on the table.
His movements were gentle but not slow, as if nothing had happened. He said in a calm and kind voice: "I know you haven't eaten much in a few days, so I asked the cook to make it lighter. You can eat."
"After eating in a while, go and have a peaceful sleep. Don't worry about anything, don't think about anything. I will stay here temporarily and handle all the things for you! If there is any news about King Han, I will call immediately
your."
Soft voice, plain words, light meals.
Everything seemed so ordinary, but when Xie Yao saw it in her eyes and heard it in her ears, she suddenly felt that she was completely surrounded by warmth, and her nose felt sore again.
She sniffed, pushed back the tears in her eyes, raised her head and wanted to smile at her grandfather, but found that she couldn't do it no matter what.
Seeing Xie Yao's twitching and stiff face trying to squeeze out a smile, General Xie immediately looked away and urged: "Eat it quickly! It won't taste good when it's cold."
"Yes." Xie Yao responded, picked up the chopsticks, looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her, picked up a bite and put it into her mouth.
Her mouth seemed numb and she couldn't feel any taste. She just chewed it mechanically and swallowed it.
She cannot fall, she must persevere! Not only must she take care of Prince Han's Mansion, but she must also persevere until she finds Chu Han!
When General Xie saw Xie Yao eating expressionlessly, he pinched her heart distressedly, and then sighed.
At least, Xie Yao knew that he had to eat, but the way he forced himself to eat made him feel very sad.
Time passed bit by bit, no one in the room spoke again, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
After a while, Xie Yao put down her chopsticks when she saw that the food in front of her was almost eaten, which was the amount she usually eats.
"I'm full." Xie Yao sat up straight and looked at her grandfather with calm eyes. "Thank you, grandfather, for bringing me the food. I feel much better now after eating it."
"Now that you're full, go to bed. I'll be in the yard." General Xie stood up directly and walked out.
"Grandpa." Xie Yao called warmly.
"As long as you sleep, we can talk about anything. If you don't want to sleep, no need to talk." Old General Xie said with a strong attitude.
Xie Yao knew that this was a deliberate act by her grandfather, who just wanted to let her rest more.
Therefore, her voice was still very gentle and she said: "I have slept all day and all night, and now I don't feel sleepy at all. It is useless even if I lie down. Why don't you let me deal with some things to distract myself.
"
Old General Xie suddenly stopped and paused. His aura became no longer tough, but more like an aging old man, with some vicissitudes of life and some helplessness, "Okay."
"It's okay if you don't sleep, but put aside those things outside for a while and chat with me, an old man, for a while."
After saying that, General Xie came back and sat down.
Xie Yao's heart moved when she saw the deep worry in her grandfather's eyes.
Since Chu Han disappeared, all her attention has been on Chu Han, and she has ignored everyone else!
She is indeed worried about Chu Han, but at the same time, many people are also worried about her!
While she was exhausted mentally and physically for Chu Han, those who were worried about her were also on tenterhooks.
My grandfather is one of them.
"Okay, Grandpa, we can chat as long as you want."
Perhaps it was because her mentality had changed, and the tone of her words and the expression on her face were no longer as indifferent and numb as before.
General Xie raised his old eyes and met Xie Yao's eyes opposite him. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "I have been to the foot of the mountain. The terrain is very complicated and no one can accurately judge what is happening.
If there is someone in the place, you must really check it out."
"You have searched many places before, and the emperor has sent many people today. The follow-up search and rescue work should not take too long to produce results. Are you ready?"
Xie Yao's heart ached when she heard her grandfather's words.
Chu Han's life or death is uncertain. There is indeed hope of life, but there is also the possibility of death!
She knew that what her grandfather was asking was, was she ready to accept Chu Han's death?
Is she ready for this?
She doesn't know it herself!
All she knew was that she had been waiting for an answer, an answer that made her both love and hate her.
Seeing the pain in Xie Yao's eyes, Old General Xie frowned unbearably, but continued: "Everything is possible. Only if you are ready for everything, can you have a chance to achieve real victory."
When Xie Yao heard this, he was suddenly startled for a moment and subconsciously said, "If you are ready for everything, can you win?"
"Yes." General Xie nodded slightly, looking forward with some memories, "I once encountered a similar situation to you. The difference is that I had a chance to save him.
.”
"But because I never thought I would fail, the moment I failed, I lost my mind and was taken advantage of by the other party."
"So, when I ask you to prepare for the worst, I don't mean to ask you to really think about that bad plan, but to prepare yourself to accept the worst plan."
After Xie Yao heard this, her heart trembled, and she immediately widened her eyes and looked at her grandfather.
She had never heard her grandfather talk about it!
