The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 524 Parents’ Love Story (2)

Gao Shou was exposed and was very embarrassed, so he subconsciously defended himself.

The old woman was smart, but Gao Shou couldn't fool her, so he had to admit it.

"Look at you, you are such a tall man. You have been squatting here for almost a year and you don't dare to come forward and say a word to others. You are a loser." The old woman did not hide her disgust.

"We are close friends, Plato, you don't understand!" Gao Shou said stubbornly.

"You're such a tough talker!" The old woman started to gossip, "What does that little girl look like? Maybe I know her."

"Real or false?" Gao Shou was dubious.

"I've been visiting this store for more than ten years. I can't say that I know all the students across the street, but I still know half of them." The old woman was quite proud.

Gao Shou was dubious, but still described Lin Yue's appearance.

When the old woman heard this, she thought about it carefully: "The girl you mentioned is called Lin Yue. Sometimes she and her classmates come to my place to buy food. I have some impressions."

"Haha, isn't it beautiful!" Gao Shou was quite proud, as if he was honored.

"That's it, with a grimace on his face." The old woman didn't seem to like it.

"You don't understand! That's called temperament!" Gao Shou was very excited.

"You say yes, yes."

The old woman didn't argue. She glanced at the heavy rain outside, turned around and went to the store to pick up a black umbrella: "The rain won't stop for a while. I don't have any business here. I'll close the door and go home."

Gao Shou glanced at the sky: "It's raining heavily. Where do you live, mother-in-law? I'll take you there, but don't fall."

"Haha." The old woman glanced at Gao Shou and said, "I see that you are not interested in the bar. Do you want me to lead you?"

"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about?" Gao Shou was very calm and smiled sheepishly: "You want to connect with me, but I don't have the guts to get to know you, otherwise I wouldn't stay with you for a year."

"Haha." The old woman handed him the umbrella: "I'll bother you then."

"It's okay, I'm free anyway."

Gao Shou helped the old woman close the wooden door of the small shop, held an umbrella, and walked the old woman home.

The old woman lived in a rammed-earth house at the foot of the mountain outside the town. It was a long way to go through farmland.

Gao Shou sent the old woman to the door of his house. The old woman said it was raining heavily and invited him to sit inside and drink tea. Gao Shou thought he didn't have to work the night shift at night and had plenty of time, so he agreed.

As soon as the old woman opened the door, Gao Shou was dumbfounded.

There is an old Eight Immortals table and several wooden chairs in the living room, and a girl is doing her homework at the desk.

She was facing the door, with a thin figure, long black hair spread smoothly, fair skin, and a quiet temperament.

It was Lin Yue whom he had been secretly in love with for a year.

Lin Yue raised her head to see the old woman, and then looked at Gao Shou behind her. She stood up defensively for a moment and frowned slightly: "Grandma, who... is he?"

……

"Hahaha." When Qing Ling heard this, she laughed a little with schadenfreude: "Why, it's a bit funny."

"Haha, I think it's a bit funny now that I think about it." Gao Shou took a bite of French fries and said, "But at that time, I was really dumbfounded. I wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it."

"Grandma Lin Yue, she wanted to thank me for sending her home and letting me have dinner at her house. In fact, I had already eaten in the cafeteria, and then I had another meal. I heard Grandma Lin Yue talk about it. A lot, I know a lot about Lin Yue."

"Hey, life is hard." Gao Shou sighed: "Lin Yue's parents divorced when she was a child. Her mother ran away with her lover, and her father was a gambler. The family's savings and house were all lost, and they owed a lot of debt. In the end, they also lost their lives. Ran away. Lin Yue has lived with her grandmother since she was very young, and the two depended on each other."

"Her grandmother was old and left a small shop in the town to open a small shop. This was the family's only income. After Lin Yue went to high school, her grandmother was afraid that Lin Yue's classmates would laugh at her if they knew that her family's conditions were not good. , just ask Lin Yue not to say hello to her after school and pretend not to know her."

"Lin Yue is also obedient. Every time she comes out from school, she only glances at the small shop across the intersection and glances at grandma."

When Gao Shou said this, he rubbed his nose again: "Hey, I was really pretentious back then, thinking she was looking at me."

Gao Shou continued to reminisce.

After dinner that day, Lin Yue and Gao Shou were very nervous, but with the help of their grandmother, they still made friends.Grandma naturally had selfish motives for doing this.

The old man's health has never been very good, and he didn't know when he kicked his legs into the ground.

Through this period of observation, grandma felt that Gao Shou was a good young man. The most important thing was that his family was in good condition, his parents were alive, and Gao Shou had a good job.

If Lin Yue is also interested in Gao Shou, grandma can trust Lin Yue to her after she graduates.

If Lin Yue is not interested in Gao Shou, making more friends like Gao Shou will help her take care of her in the future.

Another point is that Lin Yue is becoming more and more beautiful now. When she comes home from school, she will occasionally be pestered by some social youths. This also makes her grandmother very worried, so she wants Gao Shou to be Lin Yue's "bodyguard".

When grandma expressed this meaning tactfully, Gao Shou felt passionate, as if he had transformed into a loyal knight, and agreed.

Lin Yue was very angry. She thought her grandma was making her own decisions. She was still engaging in such bad habits and would marry any man she found.

She threw down the dishes and rushed back to the room and slammed the door.

Gao Shou was discouraged for a moment: It seemed that Lin Yue not only had no good impression of him, but also a little disliked him.

But grandma comforted him: "Xiaoyue is like this. She doesn't trust people easily, but once she does, she will be sure. Young man, if you are serious, you have to show your sincerity and perseverance."

That night, Gao Shou returned to the factory dormitory and stayed awake all night, all he could think about was Lin Yue.

Finally, he made up his mind to show his sincerity and perseverance.

The next day, he ate in a hurry after get off work and then ran to Lin Yue's grandmother's small shop.

……

When Gao Shou said this, he put down the fries in his hand, lowered his head, and sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?" Qing Ling listened with rapt attention, and somewhat guessed what was going to happen next, "Auntie's grandma... did something happen?"

Gao Shou nodded: "Dead."

……

When Gao Shou rushed over, the intersection in the small town in the evening was jammed with people and cars.

Gao Shou's heart dropped, and he immediately rushed over, and when he looked through the crowd, he was confused.

A tricycle carrying coal rushed into the small store, smashing the containers into pieces and leaving broken glass and household coal all over the floor.

Outside the door was Lin Yue's grandmother. She was lying on the ground dripping with blood. She had just been rescued by passers-by.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this time, Lin Yue, who had just finished school, also saw something happened here, rushed into the crowd, and saw the dying old man on the ground at a glance.

"grandmother!"

Lin Yue yelled and rushed forward, knelt down with a bang, and went to help her grandmother.

"Don't touch! Don't hurt her anymore, just let her lie like this..." The enthusiastic uncle on the side pulled Lin Yue.

"Grandma!" Lin Yue burst into tears. She turned around and grabbed the enthusiastic uncle's leg: "Save her, save my grandma, I only have one relative! I can't, I can't live without her..."

"Classmate, don't panic. I'm calling an ambulance. It will be there soon..."

Gao Shou froze on the spot, the world was spinning, his ears were buzzing, and he felt as if he was dreaming.

This old man has gray hair and an amiable smile. He always wears a three-quarter-sleeve green shirt and holds an old cattail leaf fan in his hand. Every time he sells peanuts, he will grab an extra handful for him.

Mingming joked with him yesterday, invited him home for dinner, held his hand with sincerity, and talked to him a lot alone.

Why did it become like this after only one day?

Her face was ashen, her mouth was bleeding, her body was covered in blood, and she lay motionless on the ground.
