C14 (2/2)

As he said that, his grandpa took out the 10,000 yuan without any hesitation and prepared to give it to the man.

I looked at him and immediately became anxious. It would have been alright if I didn't do it earlier, but now, I was almost scared to death. Grandfather also stayed the night. Even if he didn't take ten thousand, he would at least take five thousand.

But at the same time, what I found most strange was how someone like Grandpa, who loved money so much, could do such a thing. As the saying goes, a duck in the mouth cannot be allowed to fly.

Thus, I no longer had any scruples. I pointed at the man and shouted, ”Who are you calling lazy? Just what are you trying to do? If you don't want to pay, then just say it out. Why are you blabbering on for so many reasons?”

I had thought that a man would not rest until he heard me say this, but what I did not expect was that when he heard me say this, his face suddenly turned pale and then turned pale. He actually did not utter a word and sat back down.

”Hng hng!”

Just as we were silent, a cold snort suddenly sounded out. My heart, which had calmed down after being shocked, suddenly twitched once again. I raised my head to see a red shadow flash by the window.

”It's her!”

I stood up and pointed out the window, thinking that if I didn't suspect that I was talking about panic, I would just have to find the woman.

However, no one replied me. I lowered my head to look, only to see that my grandfather still had a serious expression on his face, while the other two people also fiercely turned their heads to look out of the window. Their faces were a little pale, and traces of sweat could be seen on their foreheads.

I was immediately infuriated. I thought to myself, ”Even if I have to say it in panic, did you guys hear that cold snort just now?”

Thinking about this, I asked my grandfather, ”Did you hear something just now?”

”We only heard you making a ruckus here.” The man replied snappily. His tone was full of reproach.

Grandfather gently shook his head. He helplessly looked at me before softly saying, ”I'm missing something. Let's go!”

I immediately nodded my head, thinking that I couldn't stay in this place any longer. Even if I had to go to the streets to sleep, I still couldn't understand why my grandfather didn't hear me. Did I hear wrong?

I shook my head. I really had no other choice. In the end, I could only lower my head and smile helplessly.

”Bam!”

At this moment, a loud muffled sound came from the hall. Although I was startled for a moment, this time, I was well-behaved and didn't rush to show off. Instead, I pretended to be calm as if I didn't hear anything.

However, the three of them, including my grandfather, heard what he said. They looked at each other for a moment before running towards the hall. I was the only one left in the hall.

In my heart, I even imagined that there was no need for my grandfather to join in on the fun. Their family being alive and not dying had nothing to do with us.

I grinded for a long time before finally looking at the broken wooden chest that Grandpa had yet to take with me. I shook my head and carried it on my back. Just as I was about to head to the hall, I heard a voice from the corner of the hall: ”Missing!”

The voice was long and low, like a soul cry, making one's scalp tingle. However, I still instinctively turned my head to look.
