The educated youth was beautiful and charming, and the rough man of the time was deeply moved

"Grandpa..." Ye Ying sniffed, looking very conflicted: "It's not them, it's... it's..."

Seeing this, Ye Tianshun did not urge her. Instead, he looked at Ye Ying with encouragement, waiting for Ye Ying to reveal the identity of the person.

knock knock knock.

Ye Ying kept answering but didn't come to open the door for a long time. Mu Yu became a little anxious and knocked on the gate again.

The sudden sound pierced a hole in the courage that Ye Ying had finally mustered, and it quickly shrank. She became visibly panicked and subconsciously lowered her bruised face. The anger that had been suppressed began to brew again, and a layer of mist covered her dark eyes.

Who is coming?

How could Yingzi care so much?

Yes, it’s not fear, but care.

Ye Tianshun, who was familiar with Ye Ying's behavior, sensitively realized that Ye Ying didn't want to see people outside because she was afraid that someone would discover the injury on her face.

Ye Tianshun couldn't help but become a little curious, and secretly guessed: Could it be Sister Mu that Yingzi mentioned? Apart from her, Ye Tianshun really couldn't think of anyone else who would make Ye Ying care so much and be so cautious?

"I'll open the door."

"Grandpa!" Ye Ying raised her head quickly, tears streaming down her cheeks. She almost begged, "Can you please not open the door?"

"You don't want your sister Mu to see the wound on your face?"

"grandfather?"

The "How did you know?" expression on Ye Ying's face was too obvious, so Ye Tianshun said, "I'm curious about how Grandpa knew that?"

Ye Ying nodded.

Ye Tianshun chuckled and said without explaining, "Let's go and open the door with Grandpa."

It’s time for him to meet this educated young man Mu!

"grandfather!"

Ye Ying tried to stop him, but Ye Tianshun said, "Yingzi, Grandpa wants to meet the sister Mu that you always talk about. What kind of person is she? Yingzi, can you bear to disappoint Grandpa?"

Facing Ye Tianshun's expectant eyes, Ye Ying couldn't say no: "Grandpa, wait for me."

Ye Ying turned and went into the house, took out a black headscarf and wrapped his face tightly, leaving only a pair of timid and smart eyes exposed.

Ye Tianshun's eyes were complicated, and he sighed barely audible, but in the end he said nothing.

Doorway.

"Ayan, has something happened? Why hasn't Yingzi come to open the door for so long?"

Xie Yan muttered disapprovingly: "What could possibly happen in your own home?"

But she just grumbled quietly. Facing the worry in Mu Yu's eyes, she suggested, "Why don't we get someone to break down the door and see?"

Mu Yu glanced at Xie Yan with an extremely complicated expression, as if to say: What do you think?

They came specially to visit and thank Ye Ying for standing up for himself instead of being a bandit and breaking into a private residence.

Not getting any help from Xie Yan, Mu Yu knocked on the gate again, thinking that if no one responded after a while, he might as well give A Yan a try?

However, ramming the door won't work. What if it breaks down Yingzi's door? We can find someone with quick skills to climb in and take a look.

Xie Yan: Is there any difference?

Mu Yu: Yes, this is gentler.

Xie Yan was helpless and spread her hands: Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say.

Mu Yu, who has always been thoughtful and considerate, had no idea that under Xie Yan's influence, her style of doing things was also changing subtly.

In the past, no matter how anxious she was in this situation, she would call the person in charge, that is, the team leader Ye Aiguo, and follow his instructions to decide how to deal with the current situation. After all, if you are not careful, it will be bad if good intentions lead to bad results.

This time, as soon as I knocked, the door was opened from the inside.

Mu Yu's hand, which was hanging in the air, dropped down slightly in embarrassment.

The person who opened the door was not Ye Ying, but an old man in his twilight years.

In this day and age, people don't eat well and are generally thin, but the old man in front of him is even thinner, almost to the point of being unrecognizable. His eye sockets are sunken and there is a smell of decay around his body, but his eyes are bright and lively, inadvertently revealing the vicissitudes of life and wisdom that come from having experienced the world.

The old man was very contradictory. His body seemed to be at the end of its strength, but his spirit was full of energy, as if there was something on his mind that he couldn't let go of that supported his dying body.

After only one encounter, Mu Yu thought a lot. Retracting his scattered thoughts and connecting them with what the captain Ye Aiguo said, Mu Yu vaguely guessed the identity of the person.

"Hello, Grandpa Ye Ying, I'm Mu Yu, the village scorekeeper, and I'm here to see Ye Ying."

Ye Tianshun hadn't spoken yet. Ye Ying, who had been following Ye Tianshun closely until he opened the door, hid behind him. When she heard Mu Yu looking for her, she couldn't help but stick her dark head out and called softly, "Sister Mu."

Mu Yu lowered his head and was slightly startled when he saw Ye Ying's outfit: "Yingzi, you?"

Noticing that Mu Yu's eyes were fixed on her face, Ye Ying quickly retracted her head and touched her face. Only when she touched the headscarf did her tense little body relax. Then she stuck her head out again and lied, "Sister Mu, I have a rash on my face. It's inconvenient for me to see people."

"rash?"

Mu Yu showed a hint of shock on his face, and then asked anxiously, "Have you been to Uncle Six to see him? Also, the rash can't be covered so tightly."

This makes it difficult to dissipate heat and can easily aggravate the condition.

As he spoke, Mu Yu prepared to untie the black scarf wrapped around Ye Ying's head.

As if she had not expected Mu Yu to have this reaction, Ye Ying took two steps back in panic, pinching the corner of her clothes nervously, and looking at her grandfather eagerly, hoping that her grandfather would stand up and help her out of the predicament.

Receiving Ye Ying's look as if asking for help, Ye Tianshun seemed unaware and said nothing. It seemed that he was unhappy that Ye Ying lied again and wanted to teach her a lesson.

Ye Ying was sensitive to Ye Tianshun's attitude and her lips pouted. She knew she shouldn't lie, but Yingzi really liked Sister Mu. If Sister Mu knew that Yingzi couldn't even keep the candy she gave her, would she think Yingzi was useless and never like her again?

When Ye Ying thought about what was going to happen next, that she would probably be disliked by Sister Mu, she felt extremely uncomfortable, and mist rose in her eyes.

Just as Mu Yu was about to pull off the headscarf on Ye Ying's face, Ye Tianshun spoke up: "Mu Zhiqing, come in and talk!"

After saying that, he made a gesture to invite him in. Mu Yu had no choice but to withdraw his hand and followed Ye Tianshun into the main hall.

The big hand in front of her suddenly withdrew. Ye Ying was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted to what had just happened. Her brows were filled with joy. Grandpa forgave her and helped her.

But soon the joy was replaced by guilt. She disappointed her grandfather and was a bad lying child.

Seeing Ye Ying's eyes sometimes happy like stars and sometimes depressed like wilted eggplants, Xie Yan was a little curious and couldn't help but poke her forehead.

"Child, people have gone far away, it's too late to cry."

Ye Ying covered her head and glared at Xie Yan fiercely. She didn't want to cry, and she was not a crybaby. It was just that her eyes got wet easily.

After glaring, Ye Ying ran away, chasing after Mu Yu and Ye Tianshun who had walked some distance away.
