After seeing off Village Chief Zhao and several villagers, Doctor Ye stood at the gate of the yard and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he closed the door and quickly walked to the stool.

"Why are you here?" Doctor Ye pointed at Elder Ning, his voice full of surprise: "Also, your foot is obviously fine, why did you lie and say you sprained your leg?"

"Why are you so surprised? I haven't asked you why you are here yet." Old Ning glanced at Doctor Ye unhappily.

"I am normal here, but you are abnormal here. Why don't you stay in your capital and come here?" Doctor Ye made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Elder Ning: "Try it and see if it still tastes the same as before."

Mr. Ning took the teacup and took a sip. "Your tea is still the best. The taste has never changed."

"Have your tea and go back quickly." Doctor Ye poured another cup for Mr. Ning: "You are old, running around everywhere is a waste of time."

Old Ning blew the foam in the teacup and said, "You have no say in that. I can't go back now."

Mr. Ye understood: "You came here with a purpose? How is it? Have you got it done?"

"If it's done, can I stay here with you?" Old Ning curled his lips, and then a trace of anger appeared on his face: "How come the girls nowadays have no sympathy at all? If she took me home, I could stay here under the pretext of recuperating, and the matter would be settled. I have to find a way to sneak in."

Doctor Ye smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, take your time." Doctor Ye comforted, "But who is the little girl you are talking about?"

"Who else could it be? It's that girl named Chen Suihe from your village. She has something that the higher-ups are interested in." Old Ning pointed his finger and said, "Why didn't they send me here to find out the truth? As you know, in recent years, the princes of various places have been ready to make a move. That prince hasn't secured his position yet, and the national treasury is still empty. If what the girl from the Chen family has is real, maybe it can change that prince's current predicament."

"If the item is real, we must seize it immediately and prevent it from falling into the hands of others."

"So, this is why you pretended to be injured?" Doctor Ye laughed and teased his old friend: "Why don't you just tell her your purpose directly? I don't think Sui He is an unreasonable person. It would be better for you to tell her directly than to approach her like this."

"Do you think I want to? I was told by my superiors not to alert the enemy or draw attention to myself." Ning Lao got angry when he mentioned this. "What did those brats tell me to do? They told me to pretend to be injured and approach the girl, saying that she was kindhearted. But she didn't buy it."

"Puchi" Doctor Ye laughed out loud when he saw his old friend being humiliated.

"Stop laughing, help me figure out how to get close to her," said Mr. Ning dejectedly.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea. He leaned over to Doctor Ye's ear and whispered a few words, and Doctor Ye couldn't help laughing after hearing it.

"I can help you. But you have to be careful and not to annoy others. If you get into any trouble, I won't clean up the mess for you," Doctor Ye advised.

Old Ning patted his chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. As long as you help me get in, the rest will be much easier." After saying that, he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

After feeding the cows, Sui He heard about this but didn't take it seriously. Since he was an old friend of Doctor Ye and was also with Doctor Ye, this matter had nothing to do with her.

This feeling came to an abrupt end the next day when I opened the door and saw two people standing outside.

"Doctor Ye, it's so early in the morning. What's the matter with you coming to see me?" Sui He stood at the door.

"Ah, it's like this, Suihe, are your grandparents here? I want to discuss something with them." It was Doctor Ye and Old Ning who were at the door.

"If you are at home, come in." Hearing that they were looking for grandpa and grandma, Sui He opened the door and let them in.

"You guys sit here for a while. My grandparents just got up. I'll go call them." Sui He led the two to sit down at the table in the yard.

Doctor Ye nodded: "Okay, go and call them, we are not in a hurry"

Old Ning looked around the yard. The grape rack had grown many branches, coiled on the bamboo rack, and more than a dozen bunches of green bean-sized grapes hung down.

Under the grapevines are various wild flowers of the annual genus, some of which have already formed buds.

There is a peach tree planted in the other corner of the yard. It is lush and leafy. If you look closely, you can see densely packed small peaches hidden among the leaves.

"These are wild grapes, right?" Mr. Ning pointed at the grape trellis above his head.

"Looking at the leaves, they should be wild grapes from the mountains. They must have dug them up and planted them in the yard," said Mr. Ye after taking a closer look.

"You know what, planting wild grapes is quite artistic. The yard is well decorated, and the people there are diligent. They clean it very well." Old Ning nodded and looked at the yard with satisfaction.

"Doctor Ye" the grandfather dressed up and came out: "Doctor Ye, what's the matter that brought you here so early?"

"Brother Chen," Doctor Ye saw Grandpa coming out and hurried forward: "I have no other choice but to trouble you for a moment."

"This is what happened. This is my old friend, surnamed Ning. He was accidentally injured in the mountains yesterday." Doctor Ye pointed at Old Ning and said, "I wanted to send him back, but his foot was injured and it's inconvenient to move. The conditions here are poor and not suitable for him to recover."

Hearing this, Old Ning immediately looked uncomfortable when Grandpa and the others looked at him.

"I thought your house had a lot of empty rooms, so I wanted to stay for a while and help take care of him. Don't worry, I'll pay for his accommodation and his food. When he's healed, I'll take him away."

"This..." Grandpa looked at Sui He with some embarrassment, and Sui He also frowned: "I'm afraid this is a bit inconvenient."

"I know this is a bit embarrassing for you," Doctor Ye continued, "but I can't help it. I... If I really had no other choice, I wouldn't come to you. I don't trust anyone else to handle this."

Seeing that Grandpa still didn't say anything, Doctor Ye looked a little disappointed: "If it's really difficult, forget it, I'll just take him back."

After saying that, Doctor Ye went to help Elder Ning, who cooperated and leaned on Doctor Ye, limping out with difficulty.

"Wait." As the two were about to leave, Sui He stopped them and said, "Since you are the people brought here by Doctor Ye, you can stay. You can stay but the food expenses are waived. We have to make an agreement in advance that you will leave as soon as you recover from your injuries."

Doctor Ye and Old Ning looked at each other and said, "Oh, no problem. I'll take him away as soon as he recovers."

Move in first. As for leaving, he won't leave until he completes his mission.

Grandpa "Sui Sui" looks at Sui He

"Grandpa, it's okay, I know my limits." Sui He gave Grandpa a soothing look. She knew what Grandpa was worried about. After all, Sui He had too many secrets in her hands. It would be inconvenient to have an outsider living in the house.

But it's okay, Sui He will pay attention. Besides, she also wants to find out the details of this old man. Do you really think she is a fool? The timing of this old man's appearance is too coincidental.

There are so many coincidences in the world.
