Chapter 470: Chapter 460: Is This Your Wife? Chapter 470: Chapter 460: Is This Your Wife? Peng Grandfather hadnât expected that upon opening his eyes, he would actually see someone in crisp military attire.
In a daze, he thought he was dreaming, that it was his grandson Peng Xiaojun coming home. Taking a closer look, he realized it was Tang Zelin.
A flicker of disappointment passed through his cloudy eyes.
However, seeing Tang Zelin at his home still made him happy.
âKid, how did you get here?â
Peng Grandfather had long treated Tang Zelin, who visited often, as if he were his own child.
After the apocalypse, he heard that City C had been locked down, and not long after, Pengcheng followed suit with its own lockdown policy.
Thus, the sudden appearance of Tang Zelin surprised him, especially when a more alert Peng Grandfather noticed there was another familiar face in the house.
âEh, is this⊠Su Shu?â
Su Shu looked at the composed Tang Zelin, walked over to help Peng Grandfather up, and smiled, âGrandfather, itâs me, Su Shu.â
Peng Grandfather was a bit stunned, his fingers sliding back and forth between her and Tang Zelin.
âWhatâs this?â
âMy wife, Grandfather,â Tang Zelin explained, finally recovering.
Peng Grandfatherâs eyes widened, stunned for a moment, then he slapped Tang Zelinâs back hard.
He laughed joyfully, âYou rascal Tang, getting married to a wife so fast! Not bad, not bad, this Su Shu is a good one.â
âNot bad, right?â
âQuite excellent!â
Seeing Peng Grandfather was alright, Tang Zelinâs previously frightened heart finally settled down.
Everyone relaxed for a moment, then Peng Grandfather remembered to ask why they had come to Peng Village at this time.
Hadnât the lockdown policies already been implemented between the two cities? Coming here now, wasnât it very dangerous?
Tang Zelin and Su Shu didnât immediately explain this matter but instead pointed at the bloodstains all over the house and asked Peng Grandfather.
âGrandfather, whatâs with all these bloodstains on the ground?â
Peng Grandfather sobered up from the alcohol, rubbed his presbyopia-stricken eyes, and only then noticed the bloodstains covering the floor.
Even he was astonished!
âWhatâs going on here?â
âYou donât know what happened either, Grandfather?â
Peng Grandfatherâs complexion changed, and he hurriedly got down to the ground, searching for something both inside and outside.
Tang Zelin followed him out, âGrandfather, what are you looking for?â
âLooking for that old man Li Half-blind! He was just drinking with me a moment ago. How did he disappear all of a sudden, what happened? Did you see anyone when you entered?â
Tang Zelin and Su Shu both shook their heads.
Peng Grandfather suddenly stood still, his expression changing drastically.
âThat old blind man couldnât have really gone into the mountains to search for that treasure, could he?â
âTreasure?â
Peng Grandfather slapped his thigh, exclaimed âOh no!â, walked into the house, touched the bloodstain, and brought it to his nose to smell.
âThis is chicken blood.â
After hearing this, Tang Zelin also touched a bit of the bloodstain and smelled it at the tip of his nose, frowning slightly.
He had truly been worried out of his wits, seeing Peng Grandfather lying there had made him panic without thinking further.
Su Shu gently touched his arm, smiling faintly.
Relieved that no imagined murder had occurred, they learned from Peng Grandfather that Li Half-blind had indeed come to Peng Village.
However, seeing the seriousness on Grandfatherâs face, Tang Zelin couldnât help but ask, âGrandfather, what treasure is that person searching for in the mountains?â
On this topic, Peng Grandfatherâs face turned pale and dark alternately, and after a long while, he sat down by the edge of the bed and began puffing away at his tobacco pipe.
Su Shu glanced at Tang Zelin and asked with her eyes, âDo you want to ask further?â
