I felt a little irritated inside because Xiang Lengxue had fully played me for a fool. Three years ago, the disaster she referred to never happened. Only three students from a class can never graduate.
So I quickly completed my lunch, turned around, and departed before going back home. I took up the image and gave it a close inspection.
This picture is quite commonplace. It's a typical graduation picture. All of the students there are typical individuals.
However, after just taking a brief glance at it, I had the impression that something was off because the students' features in the graduation pictures were so pale. Only the faces of very ill patients displayed this type of pathological pallor.
If there were only one or two of these folks, it wouldn't be as unexpected, but the majority of the students in the graduation picture had this skin tone. This skin tone is quite strange.
Even though I am a little shocked, images are not at all reliable. I framed my graduation picture and promptly forgot about it.
I curled up on the bed and shortly nodded off.
But I woke up in the middle of the night. When my father barged into my room out of the blue, he yelled at me, "Tang Qi, return to your hometown right away." Your grandmother experienced a setback.
"What's wrong?" you ask. I abruptly sat up, and my expression significantly changed.
"Your granny is critically ill, and I fear she won't make it very long. Let's immediately return!" The father quickly spoke.
Since I didn't have much time to contemplate, I quickly got up and boarded the high-speed rail with my father.
My face was filled with pain as we rode the fast train. I never thought my grandmother, who is always tough, would suddenly falter. I was extremely astonished by this. Why did something suddenly go wrong when Grandma's body has always been sturdy?
But the elderly man's life is highly precarious since, well, he's an elderly man.
I contacted Zi Ruoling while feeling such conflicted emotions before going to sleep.
We soon reached Sichuan, the location of my hometown.
Tangjiacun is a village in Shuchuan that is incredibly far away. because Tang is the most common last name among the locals.
Everyone is self-sufficient, and the people are quite simple. Even youngsters rarely leave their homes to work.
We finally made it back to the settlement in the morning after trekking across mountains and rivers.
In the village, my grandmother is the oldest. The status is hence high. As long as she spoke, nothing would change no matter what occurred in the town.
She has enormous power, and I am her grandson. Since he was a young child, no one in the community dared to mistreat him.
The area is stunning even while you're moving quickly. Only one route leads away from the mountain, and it is not accessible to vehicles.
I was able to navigate because I've lived here since I was a kid.
As soon as I returned, a sizable crowd had gathered around me. Most of them are members of my family and residents of the village.
"You've returned."
"It's really wonderful,"
Your grandmother is becoming angry, so go see her.
I quickly moved over after nodding in agreement with the others nearby.
I was much more at ease at this point. Grandma's condition didn't seem to be too serious.
The tallest and wealthiest ancient structure in the entire community is where grandma resides. This is the old home of our family. You might say that you can see it anywhere in the entire community.
However, no one dared to bring up granny in the community. because my grandma always tells the truth and has a dominant personality. has the most power in the community.
No one dared to provoke her since she was revered and feared by everyone. She will reprimand anyone she chooses, including her own children. He has only ever lost his cool around me.
I overheard my grandmother berating me before I even went into the home.
I'm OK, help me stand up.
"The doctor said you need to rest."
"Doctors are irrelevant. I am aware of my own circumstances.
I entered and noticed an elderly man on the bed. She had angry eyes, and the women around her seemed incredibly helpless.
Several women sighed with relief as they saw me enter the room. My aunt, who was among them, said: "Xiao Qi, you are at last back. It's pretty fantastic.
"Whatever happened to my grandma?" I quickly asked.
"I just fell, nothing happened. I must now take a nap. The aunt said while her eyes were bright.
I didn't pay attention; instead, I simply nodded and remarked, "You all go out, I'll talk to grandma."
"Yes." They were quickly taken from the room by the aunt.
Grandma, don't be mad, I'm back, I murmured as I sat on the bed and assisted her in standing.
It would be wonderful if you returned. Grandma grabbed my hand while beaming with excitement.
Are you alright, I inquired.
Naturally, it's fine; you simply fell. It is not a concern. Grandma shook her head, softening her look while continuing to grip my hand in her palm.
That's excellent. I blinked. My grandmother works as a well-known physician. She treats every illness in the community. never visited a hospital.
I talked with her while holding her hand.
Grandma raised her head at this point, looking at me with a startled expression of seriousness, asking, "What's happening? Why does your face have a black halo?
My heart pounded, and I responded, "Grandma, did you see it wrong?"
"How could I possibly be wrong?" Grandma's expression changed as she turned to face me. Grandson, have you come across anything filthy recently? she inquired after a while.
"No." In regards to Huang Quandai, I simply shook my head and remained silent. I don't want her to be worried, after all.
"How is it possible that it is not? Have you recently come across a deceased body in your dark hallway? Grandma posed a direct query.
Even if one student in the class passes away, it doesn't mean anything, I couldn't help but say after seeing her expression for the first time.
How did you pass away? Grandma re-asked.
When I lost patience, I was direct and stated, "This has nothing to do with you, it's just an accident."
Grandma ceased speaking.
I quickly shifted the topic and talked to her about something else.
She laughed heartily and thanked me for acting morally, especially after I pulled out the photo of Zi Ruoling.
For three or four hours, I talked with her while holding her hand.
After some time, my cell phone suddenly rang. I quickly grabbed up the phone and turned it on after having an unexpected thought.
Huang Quandai reappeared and said, "Ding Qiang has one day to find a means to claim any wife in the school as his own. He will be placed in the frying pan if he is unable to accomplish it.
My expression sharply changed when I realised this. I had no idea Huang Quandai's order would be so ridiculous this time.
If I had simply dismissed it as ludicrous, Ding Qiang would have violently leaped to his feet, his face turning pale, and his entire body shivering.
What ought we to do? This will be cooked in the frying pan!
