Chapter 288: The Reason for the Disappearance
The old woman's hand was constantly making the bed, and her movements may have suddenly slowed down.
Tang Nian watched from the sidelines and naturally knew in her heart that she must have thought of some unhappy past, and the guilt in her heart couldn't help but become stronger and stronger.
Then she stepped forward to help the old grandmother make the bed and said, "What is your grandson's name, and when did he leave home?" Maybe I can help you find it. ”
When the old grandmother heard this, her eyes couldn't help but let out a trace of light, and she turned her eyes to look at Tang Nian.
Tang Nian realized that there were some tears in her eyes at this moment.
The woman raised Qianqianyu's hand, picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of the old grandmother's eyes, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, old grandmother, I will do my best to find your grandson." ”
The hope in her heart ignited little by little, and the old grandmother was about to cry with joy, so she held Tang Nian's hand again and again and said, "Girl, you are really a kind person. ”
Tang Nian just shook his head slightly, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This is what I should do, if you hadn't taken me in tonight, I wouldn't know where to go in this place." ”
Then the two sat down together on the bed that had just been made, and the grandmother's eyes were hazy at the moment.
"My grandson ran away from home three years ago for some reason, and now after all these years, I don't see any of him."
After the old lady finished speaking, she put her eyes on the small wooden shelf in the room next to her, and sighed heavily, her eyes full of helplessness.
"My son and daughter-in-law both left early, and my grandson was brought up by me, but I really don't know what happened to make him leave so resolutely."
Tang Nian looked in the direction where the old grandmother was looking, and saw a piece of clothing that was a few years old hanging on the wooden shelf.
Apparently the garment must have been worn by the grandmother's grandson.
Leaving home suddenly?
And according to the grandmother's temperament, he must be very good to his grandson, so why would he leave in such a hurry without saying hello?
Thinking of this, Tang Tangnian's eyebrows couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and after a while, he asked the old grandmother: "What big things may have happened before he left home?" ”
The old lady tilted her head and carefully recalled for a moment, then just shook her head slightly, and replied solemnly, "It's not a big deal. ”
Since nothing happened, how could it be possible to leave this matter suddenly, it is really too unbelievable.
But just when Tang Nian was thinking about this matter carefully, the old grandmother suddenly raised her hand and gently patted her forehead and shoulder, and received: "But he seems to have left a letter, but I can't read, and I don't have any relatives at home, so I don't know what he wrote." ”
Hearing this, Tang Nian's eyes lit up later, if he left any letters, this matter would be much easier.
Before Tang Nian could speak, grandma had already gotten up and gone to the small wooden cabinet on the side, opened the drawer, and took out a letter from which even the letter had turned yellow.
"Look, girl, this is what my grandson left behind."
Tang Nian took the envelope and looked at it carefully, and found that her font was a little beautiful.
Then he carefully looked at the words written on it.
After she finished reading the whole article, she realized that the grandmother's grandson had gone to the scientific examination.
finally learned where the old grandson went, and Tang Nian's heart was vaguely relieved.
She raised her hand and held her grandmother, her calloused hands, lowered her voice, and said softly: "Grandma, you don't have to worry about your grandson going to the scientific examination." ”
But who knew that when she heard this, she was slightly stunned, and her eyes seemed to be full of surprise.
Seeing the old grandmother like this, the smile on Tang Nian's face was not close, and it faded little by little, and his eyes were full of doubts.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Tang Nian's words fell, the old grandmother said one by one: "But I didn't have any spare money during the time I took him, and I never sent him to a private school, how could he go to the scientific examination?" ”
Hearing this, Tang Nian's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
Not only because of the fact that the grandmother said it, but also because if it was a scientific expedition, it would not be impossible to return home for three years.
I thought that the matter would only be resolved with this letter, but I didn't expect the whole thing to fall into a mystery again.
It seems that this matter is not as simple as they imagined, and there are no other clues to be found at the moment, so Tang Nian has no choice but to give up.
"Maybe he was delayed or ...... on the way to the scientific expedition"
When she said this, Tang Nian's face changed suddenly, as if the bottom was as dark as it was, because at this moment a particularly bad thought surged into her heart.
In the past few years, thieves have been so rampant, if those thieves see that this weak scholar is particularly easy to bully, it is very likely that they will take away all the money on him and kill people.
Seeing Tang Nian's face suddenly change, the old grandmother couldn't help but feel more and more worried.
Tang Nian could clearly feel that the strength of the grandmother's hand in holding his hand had become stronger.
But at this moment, she can't tell her grandmother what she thinks truthfully.
At that time, he forced a smile and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay, maybe it's the first place and what position has been promised there." ”
At present, she can only comfort the old grandmother with this lie.
After hearing this, although the old grandmother still had a lot of doubts on her face, she finally nodded gently.
"After all, he was brought up by me since I was a child, and I just hope that he can be safe and not be bullied by outsiders."
After a pause, the old grandmother lowered her eyebrows and buried her head deeply.
"I don't blame him for not coming home for so many years, I just hope he's okay somewhere else."
The more the grandmother spoke, the lower her voice became.
Tang Nian could see that although she did have this idea in her heart, she was also very concerned about her grandson.
She raised her hand, grabbed the old grandmother's shoulder, gently stroked her back, and said gently, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll help you find him as soon as possible." ”
The old woman nodded slightly, and then glanced out the window, where it was already dark.
"Girl, go to sleep, if you don't sleep and wait for the summer to be bright, I see that your face is very tired."
After the old grandmother finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave, but an inexplicable voice suddenly sounded in Tang Nian's ears.
The woman frowned, and stepped forward to take the grandmother's hand.
