Chapter 381 - Old House and Old Friends (2/2)

“Well, I’ll make up for your past sufferings,” Qin Ran said firmly. Qin Sheng felt moved by his sister’s care and love.

“Let’s go. I’ll show you around.” Qin Sheng held Qin Ran’s hand and led her into the yard. The car was parked beside the gate and the driver waited for them in the car.

The fence was made of stumps and tree branches, while the two gates were made of pine. The front gate was locked. Qin Sheng’s key was left in his bedroom in the Lins’ house. But it was not difficult for Qin Sheng. He picked up a brick from the ground and smashed the lock with the brick. Qin Ran was shocked.

“Let’s go.” Qin Sheng shrugged. He seemed to walk on air for having done a great job.

They entered the yard. Qin Sheng grabbed a stick to clean the weeds around with Qin Ran following behind. Qin Sheng, who was in a good mood, introduced Qin Ran to every corner of the old house. The remaining things, however, were valueless. Grandpa’s valuable things, like his traditional musical instruments Erhu and Guqin, were stored at the Louguantai Temple and kept by the old priest.

They wandered for a while and then Qin Sheng decided to leave. At this time, a car passed by. The young man driving the car opened the window and shouted at them, “What are you doing?”

The young man then got out of the car and ran up to them angrily. He was surprised when he saw the Benz outside and thought that these rich people were doing strange things here.

“What are you doing here?” the young man, who looked fierce, asked them again. For the villagers, though the yard was run down, they still protected the old house due to their feelings toward the people who used to live here, especially the old man. He had done a couple of great jobs for the village, so the villagers were grateful to him. The old man had passed away. His grandson was alive but had never come back since then.

Qin Ran was worried, for she didn’t know what the young man was going to do.

Qin Sheng didn’t care about the man’s rude question. He smiled and said, “Huzi, did you forget me? It’s just been a few years.”

The young man was surprised. He stepped forward and then recognized Qin Sheng. He didn’t expect that Qin Sheng should come back.

Huzi was happy over this surprise. He rushed over to Qin Sheng and hugged his shoulders. “What the f*ck! Qin Sheng! I’m so f*cking surprised! Why the hell did you come back?”

Qin Ran was uncomfortable by Huzi’s rude language, but she felt his surprise and his friendship with Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng patted Huzi with his fist softly. “This is my home. Damn! I must come back here.”

“Son of a b*tch, you know this is your home, but where the f*ck have you been? It had been several years since Grandpa Qin died. We thought you died, you son of a b*tch!” Huzi was excited.

Qin Sheng often played with them since his childhood, and was used to their manner of speaking. These people were born here and lived here for their whole life. Though their words were rude, their feelings were real.

Qin Sheng said, “F*cking hell! You must die before me.”

Huzi laughed at Qin Sheng’s words. Then he found the beautiful lady standing beside him and was too nervous to speak fluently. “Th…is beau…tiful young lady… Who is she? You… She… Is she your girlfriend?”

Qin Sheng hit Huzi with his fist. “Go to hell! This is my sister.”

Huzi felt sorry and said, “Hello, Qin Sheng’s sister. Sorry, I’m really sorry. I’m born to be rude. Please forgive me.”

“Hello.” Since this person was Qin Sheng’s friend, Qin Ran didn’t behave distant as usual, but answered politely.

Huzi said, “Let’s go. Don’t stand here. Come to my home and have a good chat. Nobody knows you’re back. We’ve all missed you so much.”

Qin Sheng exchanged a glance with Qin Ran and said apologetically, “Huzi, maybe next time. We have some other plans today.”

“F*cking next time! Let’s go now. It’s hard to say when we’ll meet next time. It’s the spring festival. Nobody has any big business now. Just give us a few hours. All the people will come back home for the festival, or it’s hard to see us all.” Huzi insisted.

Qin Ran smiled. “Qin Sheng, go and meet your old friends. It’s hard to say when you’ll come back next time.”

Qin Sheng thought it over and thought his sister was right. He didn’t know when he would come back and he also wondered about his childhood friends’ situation.

After that, they went to the village. Huzi drove at the front, leading the way, busy calling everybody to inform them of Qin Sheng’s return. If Qin Ran heard the phone call, she would have laughed out loud at his rude but real way of speaking. Qin Sheng got used to these soon because this was the place where he had grown up.

When they arrived at Huzi’s home, Qin Ran and Qin Sheng were shocked by the number of people waiting for them.
