Chapter 65: Anger
When the old woman heard a knock on the door, her tired face changed, and she quickly stopped what she was doing.
And the six or seven children who were playing like frightened birds ran back from the yard and returned to the old woman in terror.
Zeng Guoan was a little puzzled, is there no one here, after all, he hasn't been back for seven years, and he doesn't know what happened, there are seven or eight people who are the same age as him, the youngest is five years younger than him, and he is the oldest.
Zeng Guoan didn't hear the movement, and knocked a few more times, but it was still quiet and there was no movement.
The yard is relatively large, with one or two hundred square meters, a front yard and a few tiled bungalows. Half of the yard is used to grow vegetables, and the other half is a space for children to play.
The old woman had the children hide in a room, and their eyes were frightened, as if they were afraid of something.
The old woman calmed the frightened children and went out of the room, but strangely there was no more knocking at the door.
The old woman's eyes were cloudy, her face was tired, her body was small, she looked lonely, her clothes were old and white.
Zeng Guoan frowned, and after finding that there was no movement, he jumped on the spot and easily entered the courtyard.
As soon as Zeng Guoan jumped in, he recognized Grandma Lin standing under the eaves at a glance, and her cloudy eyes stared at Zeng Guoan motionlessly, seemingly a little incredulous.
Although she hadn't seen her for seven years, the familiar aura and familiar silhouette were still imprinted in her mind.
"Country... Guoan?" Grandma Lin couldn't believe it.
"It's... Is that you?" the old man was very excited, looking at the handsome young man with sharp edges, his heart was full of emotion, the immature young man had vowed to be a promising person, and there had been no news since he left.
Until today, she saw the child who made her think about it again, after all, Zeng Guoan was brought up by her, and her feelings were naturally very deep.
At the beginning, Zeng Guoan received special secret training, but he could not come back, and he often carried out missions abroad, so he did not have much time to spare.
He was able to become the best of the Blue Eagle troops, but it took countless hard work to get it.
"It's me, grandma!" Zeng Guoan looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, his voice was a little choked, and tears flowed down his face.
Zeng Guoan gently hugged the old man and stroked her dry and pale hair.
"Grandma, why are you here alone?" Zeng Guoan asked curiously after letting go of his grandmother, there were eight of them, seven boys and one girl. The oldest is him, the youngest is a girl, when he left, the girl was only ten years old, and now seven years have passed, she should also be a beautiful big girl.
They all follow the surname of grandma's husband, grandma's husband Zeng Tian, and the couple have no children and no daughters in their lives, so they adopt some orphans that no one wants, most of them are some sick children, and some even have terminal diseases.
Three of the children in the same batch as him died, like him is the most normal one, so when he left, there were only four people left except him, and after seven years, I don't know if they are all like this.
"Grandma, let's go into the house and talk slowly!" Zeng Guoan said distressedly as he looked at the old man's tired face.
"Okay, good!" the old man replied excitedly, and Zeng Guoan secretly wiped away his tears.
The house is still the same as it was seven years ago, with no furniture, the old pendulum clock, and the sewing machine are still unchanged.
But the old man has become older, his face is withered, there are many more wrinkles, and his former friends don't know what is going on.
When they sat down, Zeng Guoan saw several small heads sticking out of the room, with panic on their faces.
"Hello. Zeng Guoan smiled and greeted them gently.
"Hehe, come out, this is your big brother, who used to grow up here. Grandma said with a gentle smile.
Seven little guys came out, five boys and two girls. The oldest was a thirteen-year-old girl, and the middle five were all boys, all around seven to ten years old. The youngest was a little girl, only six years old, a little older than the baby.
When the little girl saw Zeng Guoan, she hid in her grandmother's arms a little timidly, peeking curiously with big eyes, and her sallow little face looked pitiful.
Zeng Guoan saw that the children were all sallow-faced, and obviously they were not eating well, which led to malnutrition.
The clothes are all old, and some of them were even altered by the grandmother herself.
Zeng Guoan felt very sorry for his grandmother, he had to take care of a bunch of children at such an age, just eating was a problem, and then thinking about how he hadn't sent a penny back over the years, which made him feel deeply guilty and blame himself.
"I'm sorry grandma, I haven't been back all these years. Zeng Guoan's eyes were red, and tears flowed down, looking at the concerned eyes of the withered old man, tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Oh, what are you crying about, isn't it good grandma, it's good if you're back, it's good to be back. The old man's thin and withered hands helped Zeng Guoan wipe away his tears, looking particularly distressed.
She is very fond of every child, and her grandmother has been sad for a long time after the death of three children.
"By the way, grandma Guoping, what is the situation now, have they ever come back? "Guoping is also a boy about the same age as him, and Guoping was the oldest except for him.
"Guoping has been gone for four years and hasn't come back, so I don't know how he's doing outside. The old man was a little depressed, since the death of his wife, raising children, he has spent his savings over the years, and his life is very hard.
"What is the situation with Guohai, Guozheng, Guocai, and Ling'er. Zeng Guoan asked again, when they grew up together, their relationship was naturally very deep, especially their favorite Ling'er.
Ling'er is the only girl among them, or the youngest one, named Zeng Ling'er, a very well-behaved and lovely girl, he still remembers that when he left, the girl pulled his clothes, cried profusely, and said that he must come back to see them.
"Guohai and his relatives found here to pick him up, Guozheng and Guocai went out to work, and they will send some money back every month, and Ling'er..."
"Ling'er went out the day before yesterday and didn't come back, that girl has always been sensible, she won't come back for no reason, and I don't know what's going on. Zeng Guoan, who was in a somewhat relaxed mood, suddenly brought it up again.
According to what Grandma said, something might have happened to Ling'er.
"Grandma, where did Ling'er go before she disappeared?" he didn't know anything about Ling'er's condition now.
"She helped sell clothes in the shop on that shopping street, but she went out the morning before yesterday and didn't come back in the evening, it's been two days, and I also went to the owner of the store, and he said that after Ling'er got off work the night before, no one went to work the next day. Grandma's face was haggard, and she was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
Just as he was about to ask his grandmother, there was a knock at the door.
"Bang bang!
The sound was very loud, and the children, who had been calm, were like frightened birds, and their faces were full of panic, as if something terrible was there.
"Bang bang!" banged on the iron door very rudely, and even a small piece of cement fell off the door frame.
"Open the door, old woman, do you think you'll be fine if you hide inside? There was an arrogant shout outside the door.
Zeng Guoan frowned, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Looking at the frightened children, he comforted, "Don't be afraid, everything has a big brother." ”
seemed to feel Zeng Guoan's self-confidence, although the children were still very scared, they also calmed down, and the grandmother was angry.
Zeng Guoan calmed his grandmother's excited emotions, now that he is old, it is easy to hurt his body if he moves like this, and he can also see that his grandmother's health is very poor, and if he drags it like this, he won't be able to stand it for long.
After following the master, his vision was great, especially some basic Guo Buhuai would talk to him.
Cultivating the "Buddha-figure Heaven and Earth", he is no longer a mortal, although he can't cast spells yet, but he can cultivate some special magical powers, and recently he has been contemplating the art of purple Xuan, although it is not even a beginner, but it is enough to observe a person's body mechanism.
"Open the door, if you don't open the door, we'll tear it down." "The arrogance is unstoppable, Zeng Guoan heard the voice, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Presumably it wasn't the first day they had come here to make trouble, and he knew it when he saw the frightened expressions of these little ones just now, no wonder his grandmother didn't open the door when he knocked on the door.
"Grandma, relax your mind, although I haven't made any name for myself over the years, it's still okay to deal with this kind of little deflated three. Zeng Guoan comforted his grandmother.
"Big brother, they're bad, they knocked grandma down last time. The little girl snuggled in her grandmother's arms said angrily, that little look was very cute.
When Zeng Guoan heard the little girl's words, he was furious, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, "I will make you regret coming to this world." ”
Zeng Guoan muttered to himself, only he could hear.
"Just be here, big brother go and teach them a lesson. Zeng Guoan smiled gently, the murderous and awe-inspiring appearance just now had disappeared, replaced by a smile like a spring breeze, and touched the little girl's little head.
And the little girl no longer seemed to be as timid as she had just been, and stuck her tongue out at him cutely.
"If the national security doesn't work, let's call the police, these hooligans will be difficult. Grandma worried.
Zeng Guoan smiled, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”
The clamor outside continued, Zeng Guoan's face was as cold as ice, and the murderous intent in his eyes was awe-inspiring, "Don't worry, I will play with you well." ”
Zeng Guoan is not the kind of person who is obedient, and the master also taught him that there is revenge, revenge, and kindness.
