Second Grandfather cursed loudly, "Get out! Don't loiter around in front of me in the house!"
"Oh……"
Hei Changhong lowered his head and moved out.
"And you, you..."
Second Grandpa pointed to the several uncles and aunts in the house: "You all go out too!"
"Dad...we..."
"go out!"
"Oh……"
Watching everyone leave the room one by one, the second grandfather sighed and said softly, "Xiao Jia, and Xiao Ran, you should go out first too. I'll look after Xiao Chen here."
"Remember to close the door when you go out. I need to talk to Xiaoyang alone."
"Ah this..."
Hei Yang's lips twitched. Surely it couldn't be that bad? He dreaded these one-on-one conversations with elders the most.
including but not limited to:
"Don't leave after class, come to my office!"
"You come out with me. Don't look at your mother; it won't do you any good!"
"Son, you're not asleep yet, are you? If you're not asleep, turn on the light first. Mom wants to talk to you about something..."
A flood of terrifying memories washed over him, and Hei Yang couldn't help but shudder.
Well, although there are some things he never wants to forget, it's better to forget this terrible memory!
Grandma Meng?
Is Grandma Meng here? Can I have a custom-made Meng Po soup to make someone forget specific memories?
"..."
The two elderly people exchanged a glance, hesitated, and nodded: "Yes."
Don't just say "uh-huh," try to resist! Aren't you afraid something might happen if I'm alone with my second grandfather?
For example, I might suddenly go crazy and start attacking my second grandfather, or...
In short, don't leave him alone. At least make it "the three of us" to share the burden!
Hei Yang watched as the door was tightly closed, leaving only his cousin Hei Chen, who was in a "disconnected" state, his kind-looking second grandfather, and himself, who was helplessly fidgeting with his fingers.
"Xiao Yang?"
Grandpa said gently, "You've probably almost forgotten me. After all, I only held you a few times when you were little, and now you've grown into a handsome young man."
"Yeah yeah……"
Hei Yang muttered under his breath, "In the end, I failed to live up to your expectations and didn't grow into a young woman..."
"what?"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing. I didn't say anything."
Hei Yang coughed twice and pointed to the door: "Um, how about I go out first? You've just recovered from a serious illness, wouldn't you like to rest for a bit..."
"No, Xiaoyang, don't be nervous."
The second grandfather was older than Hei Yang's two lifetimes combined multiplied by two, and he could tell at a glance that Hei Yang was uncomfortable. He found that the child was actually a little shy, so he slowed down his tone: "Come on, Xiao Yang, sit there. It's tiring to stand. Sit down and chat with Grandpa for a while."
"Ow—"
Hei Yang obediently sat down, looking at his second grandfather with an innocent expression, waiting for what was to come.
"Changhong has been a businessman for most of his life and is not even a cultivator. He has no idea what kind of being has plotted against my Hei family, and he foolishly dragged you, Xiaoyang, into it."
Unexpectedly, the first thing the second grandfather said was still an apology: "Child, you should leave quickly and go to the Hong family or the Bai family. Ask them for some people to protect you as you leave. Don't stay in this whirlpool any longer."
"Ah, I was indeed about to come."
Hei Yang scratched his head: "But Mom also asked me to visit Grandpa at the Qing family, to say a few words, and then to bring back a few more words before I can consider my mission complete."
"your mom……"
Second Grandfather thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "That pretty girl, Xiao Yiyi?"
"Ah, Yiyi is my mom."
Hei Yang nodded obediently.
"Actually, the Qing and Huang families are probably not doing too well right now either."
Second Grandfather sighed: "Of course, they are definitely much better off than my Hei family, after all, none of them came back alive."
Hei Yang: "?"
"You think I, your grandpa, really have Alzheimer's?"
Second Grandfather stroked his beard and asked in return, "Am I the kind of person who would get Alzheimer's?"
"I think it looks quite like it..."
Hei Yang muttered under his breath, "Look at you, you've even forgotten what happened just a few minutes ago. Dad's dad calling Mom... Is that something a normal person would say?"
Second Grandfather: "..."
"Cough cough, I'm suffering from mental damage; I was ambushed!"
Second Grandpa almost couldn't help but yank out a few hairs from his beard. What's wrong with this kid? He's such a nice child, why does he talk like this?
"They've already told you about how our respective elites were sent to explore that so-called secret realm, and how we were all wiped out, right?"
Grandpa sighed: "We made thorough preparations beforehand, and even spent a lot of money to find people from those caravans to ask about precautions before we set off with peace of mind. In the end, we still ended up like this. What does this mean?"
"The levels have refreshed, so the walkthrough from the first playthrough isn't working anymore?"
Hei Yang asked tentatively, "Or perhaps you tried to skip class but ended up messing it up?"
"what?"
"Oh, it's alright, please continue!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 82: Countless moments of inspiration and discovery in human history have been divine revelation received while using the toilet!
"This proves that those caravans were lying!"
Second Grandfather said decisively, "This is absolutely a well-planned conspiracy!"
"..."
"..."
"Say it."
Hei Yang looked puzzled: "Please continue, don't look at me, it's not like I designed this conspiracy."
"Uh, shouldn't you express your surprise?"
"Wow. It's a conspiracy."
Hei Yang opened his mouth: "Is it done?"
"..."
Grandpa turned his head away and continued, "The night Xiao Chen and the others came back, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so I had to pee in the middle of the night..."
"Wait, is there a cause-and-effect relationship between these events?"
"No."
"Then why are you still using the word 'therefore'?"
"Keep listening to me. Don't you know how to be considerate of an elderly person who has frequent and urgent urination?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake, please continue."
"When I came out of the toilet, I saw a masked man in black suddenly burst in and run straight toward Xiao Chen's room."
My second grandfather's face was solemn: "I hurriedly shouted loudly, which startled the man, making him pause and look at me with a panicked look."
"You captured him so easily?"
"He knocked me unconscious without my knowledge."
"Aww—"
"Xiao Yang, don't look at me like that. I'm not as weak as you think. I was a ninth-level Body Tempering expert when I was young. It's just that my blood and qi have declined as I've gotten older."
My second grandfather argued, "In addition, that man in black used some kind of evil trick, like punching me hard in the head. I was caught off guard and was ambushed, which is why I fainted."
"And, my shout actually worked!"
Second Grandfather continued to argue: "Back then, the Hei family still had some young people who could jump around. Everyone was awakened, which scared away the man in black."
So, in the end, it was my loud shout that scared him away!
