Chapter 1580: Teach a man to fish (Part 1) Chapter 1580: Teach a man to fish (Part 1) She could not help but worry.
The bandits âtarget was her, not her grandfather or Zhou Liang.
âGrandpa, just listen to brother wuming!â Zhou Mengmeng pleaded.
Lord third cave couldnât be bothered to pay her any more attention.
He took the toad pipe and left with his hands behind his back.
âMengmeng, you should decide your own fate,â Xia qingchen said after she left.
âThen what should I do?â Zhou Mengmeng frowned.
itâs fine, â Xia qingchen said.
just hide well before the bandits come.
âBut if they canât find me, the bandits will kill Grandpa to vent their anger!â Zhou Mengmeng quickly waved her hands.
Xia qingchen smiled with a deeper meaning.
donât worry.
Your grandfather is very smart.
Eh?
âYouâre still speaking up for my grandfather?
Heâs already treating you like this.â Zhou Mengmeng said indignantly.
Xia qingchen smiled.
your grandfather saved me and even brought me back to recuperate.
I canât even wait to be grateful.
Why would you hate me?
â
âAs for the stables, didnât Mengmeng clean them up pretty well?â âItâs not inferior to the room,â Xia qingchen replied.
Zhou Mengmeng had a good impression of him because of his generosity.
If it was any other person, they would have treated their grandfather as an enemy.
One had to know that there were few grateful people in the world, but there were many enemies.
âThank you for your understanding, brother wuming.â Zhou Mengmeng chuckled and took care of him wholeheartedly.
Time flew by.
Lord third cave left early in the morning and returned late every day.
Zhou Mengmeng didnât know what he was going to do, but he didnât say a word when she asked.
Zhou Liang was extremely attentive and seemed to have never given Xia qingchen and Zhou Mengmeng a chance to be alone.
Whenever Lord three caves wasnât around, he would stay at home and watch Xia qingchenâs every move.
Xia qingchen didnât really care about it.
He âplayed tricksâ for Zhou Mengmeng while he quietly recuperated.
Five days passed.
Thanks to the two internal storage spaces he had opened, his Constitution had improved by leaps and bounds.
Shen Weiâs injury was finally half-healed, and he could now get out of bed and walk, but his movements could not be too violent.
âIn two more days, my injuries will be completely healed.â Xia qingchen estimated in his heart.
Calculating the time, he had been chased by venerated moon for three days, trapped in the divine ruins for seven days, and recuperated for five days.
He had spent a full half a month.
The outside world probably thought that he had already fallen at the hands of venerated moon.
I wonder how the Restless Hellâs Gate is doing?
Half a monthâs time was enough for the outside world to undergo earth-shaking changes.
âLiang Liang bro, you should go back, Grandpa will be back soon.â Zhou Mengmeng was a little nervous.
The bandits would arrive tomorrow.
Xia qingchen suggested that she should prepare to hide in the back mountain tonight and return after the bandits left.
However, Zhou Liang had been squatting there all this time, so she had no chance to leave.
âWhy should I go back?
Iâve already told your grandfather that Iâm not leaving tonight.â Zhou Liang said.
Zhou Mengmeng immediately panicked and looked anxious.
âWho allowed you to stay!
Hurry up and run!â
If he did not leave tonight, Zhou Mengmeng would not be able to leave quietly.
Zhou Liang didnât notice the change in Zhou Mengmengâs expression.
He said with a serious face, â the bandits said they would come tomorrow, but they might come at midnight to ask for you.
Iâll stay here to take care of you.
In order to prevent the brawny men and unmarried women from escaping, the bandits would often launch surprise attacks in advance.
Most of the time, they would come in the middle of the night to ask for people.
Zhou Mengmeng bit her lips.
Just as she was about to ask Xia qingchen for help, Lord three caves returned with his hands behind his back.
âLiangliang, come here and help Grandpa move things from Dragon pool?â Lord third cave waved his hand.
âBut little sister Mengmeng, she âŠâ Zhou Liang hesitated.
the bandits wonât come now.
Theyâll at least come at night, right?
â
Zhou Liang clearly wasnât worried about this.
He was more worried about whether Xia qingchen would do something to Zhou Mengmeng.
However, after taking a look at Xia qingchenâs weak body, which was barely able to walk, he unwillingly left with Lord third cave.
After they had gone far away, Zhou Mengmeng was excited.
She quickly took out the bundle that she had prepared from the pile of hay in the stable.
There were clothes and dry food for five days inside, enough for her to hide outside for a long time.
âBig brother wuming, letâs go together.â Zhou Mengmeng said.
However, Xia qingchen smiled.
I wonât be going.
The bandits arenât looking for me.
âThis, alright.â Zhou Mengmeng thought for a while and agreed.
Iâm hiding in the West slope cave.
Let me know when the bandits leave.
âBe careful.â Xia qingchen spoke.
Zhou Mengmeng nodded her head deeply and left, looking back three times with every step she took.
She could not be at ease with her grandfatherâs safety.
If the bandits came and found out that she had left, would they do something to her grandfather?
Zhou Mengmeng left with a nervous heart.
Xia qingchen laid on the grass and closed his eyes to rest.
In truth, given his current condition, he could totally leave.
However, he would have to wait until the bandits were dealt with.
Two hours later.
The moon was bright and the stars were few.
Zhou Liang stepped on the dew and hurried back.
He was worried about Zhou Mengmeng the entire way.
Lord third cave followed behind unhurriedly, his expression calm.
âLittle sister Mengmeng!â Zhou Liang pushed open the courtyardâs door and discovered that Xia qingchen was lying obediently in the stable.
He heaved a sigh of relief, but the house was completely dark, and he couldnât help but call out in worry.
After a few times, there was no sound.
Zhou Liangâs heart thumped and he quickly rushed in.
But in the end, there was no one inside.
âLord third cave, bad news!â He said in surprise.
Little sister Mengmeng is gone!â
The strange thing was that Lord third caveâs expression was calm at first, but after a while, he looked surprised.âOh, heâs gone!â
That expression and attitude, how was it like someone who had lost their granddaughter?
It was as if she had lost someone elseâs granddaughter.
Zhou Liangâs heart was burning with anxiety.
When he saw Xia qingchen from the corner of his eye, he immediately rushed forward and grabbed Xia qingchenâs sleeve, shouting, ââWhereâs little sister Mengmeng?
What did you do to her?
Speak!â
He was almost roaring, worried beyond words.
Xia qingchen didnât hide anything and said in a casual manner, ââHeâs hiding.â
What?
This caused Zhou Liang to be extremely angry.
He clenched his fist and punched out toward Xia qingchenâs face.
âYouâre lying!â
Xia qingchen tilted his head slightly, easily dodging the fist.
Then, his body trembled slightly, and Zhou Liangâs palm was jolted away as if he had been electrocuted.
He didnât notice anything wrong.
He picked up a piece of wood and was about to start, but Lord three caves stopped him.
Meng âer is indeed hiding.
Her clothes and the dry food in the house are all gone.
Zhou Liangâs heart was at ease, but his anger could not be appeased.
He glared at Xia qingchen fiercely.
little sister Mengmeng is such an obedient child.
How could she possibly hide by herself?
â Youâre the one who instigated it, arenât you?â
Xia qingchen was expressionless.
I only told her that she should be the one to decide her own fate.
She shouldnât leave it in the hands of others.
âIt was her own decision to hide.â
It was better to teach a man to fish than to give a man to fish.
Letting Zhou Mengmeng understand that she could control her own fate would be a great fortune for her future.
âWasnât it you who instigated it?â Zhou Liang carried the wood and shouted fiercely, ââTell me, where is Mengmeng hiding?
Donât tell me you donât know!â
