The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

Chapter 271 The Stubborn Old Man

Li Xiuneng is still a patient with limited mobility, and Gu Ranle is always worried about him.

At night, she got up quietly and planned to go see him.

She had just stuck her head out of the bedroom and when she looked up, she bumped into the man standing diagonally across from her grandfather's bedroom door, and their eyes met.

The grandparents stared at each other for a long time. Gu Jiu had a stern face and asked in a questioning tone: "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Gu Ranle grinned and forced a smile, "I'm thirsty, I want to go downstairs to drink some water."

"Isn't there water in the cup on your bedside table?" Gu Jiu pointed to her room.

"Ah? Really? I forgot about that, haha."

Gu Ranle's smile was so unnatural.

Her old man looked down on Li Xiuneng, and if she went downstairs to see him now, it would simply add fuel to the fire.

"Master, what are you going to do?" She quickly changed the subject to Gu Jiu.

"I'll go downstairs to drink some water." After saying that, Gu Jiu went downstairs first.

After walking two steps, he stopped again and turned back to say, "Drink the water and go to bed quickly. Don't stay up late!"

"I really didn't stay up late. I just woke up because I was thirsty." Gu Ranle explained quickly, then turned around and went back to the house dejectedly.

She picked up the thermos on the table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

How could this be such a coincidence?

She was muttering to herself and just as she was going out she ran into the old man.

She lay back on the bed, but kept her ears perked up, listening carefully to the noise outside.

However, after waiting for a long time, the old man didn't come back.

Does it take so long to drink water?

Gu Ranle's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could something have happened?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She suddenly jumped out of bed and planned to go downstairs to take a look.

While the man was still on the stairs, Gu Ranle shouted towards the kitchen: "Old man?"

The kitchen was dark and the lights were not on.

She quickly ran to the kitchen, turned on the light, and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

"Old man?" she yelled again.

At this time, a voice came down slowly from upstairs, "Why are you yelling so late at night?"

"You..." Gu Ranle raised her head and looked at the figure upstairs, "When did you return to the room?"

Gu Jiu said unhappily, "I'll just drink some water and go back. What did you do downstairs?"

Gu Ranle was speechless for a moment when asked, "I..."

She snorted and said stubbornly, "I didn't even hear you go back to the room. I thought you pumped the water up from the ground, sterilized it, filtered it, and then boiled it. Why does it take so long?"

Gu Jiu was so angry at her words that he rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and go to bed!"

"I...I'll go see him." Gu Ranle muttered. He had already gone downstairs, so it wouldn't take much time to go and take a look.

She explained: "This is his first time living in our house, and his legs and feet are not very convenient. I went to take a look to prevent him from getting into any accidents and causing trouble."

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Jiu to object, she ran towards the guest room.

A ray of light shone through the crack of the guest room door.

Gu Ranle frowned and muttered to himself, is he still awake so late?

She gently pushed the door open and saw Li Xiuneng leaning against the head of the bed. As soon as he saw her come in, he immediately grinned, revealing two neat rows of white teeth.

"Baby, you came to see me too. I knew you were worried about leaving me alone." Li Xiuneng smiled brightly.

Gu Ranle had sharp ears and caught the key point of his words immediately, "Also? Did the old man come here just now?"

Li Xiuneng nodded, "Well, your grandfather said he was worried that I would fall to my death, so my family came to cause trouble."

"..."

Gu Ranle was speechless for a while. This old man was really stubborn.

Although she was as worried about Li Xiuneng as he was, she refused to admit it and even said she was going to get some water.

However, does this mean that the old man is slowly accepting Li Xiuneng?

Gu Ranle felt secretly delighted.

This is such a good sign!

"You didn't fall, did you?" Gu Ranle asked with concern.

Li Xiuneng shook his head, "That's when I wanted to go to the bathroom."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ranle walked up to him without saying a word, lifted the thin blanket off him, picked him up like a princess, and strode towards the bathroom.

Li Xiuneng leaned in her arms with a happy look on his face. Just when Gu Ranle was about to put him on the toilet, he quickly said, "Baby, I've been to the bathroom just now."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Gu Ranle almost threw the man into the toilet and left him to fend for himself.

Li Xiu Neng hugged her neck tightly, "You didn't ask me either."

Gu Ranle threw him onto the bed in annoyance, pulled the quilt over him, then turned off the light and left.

In the morning, Gu Ranle did not get up early as usual, and he had not come downstairs until after seven o'clock.

Gu Jiu came upstairs to call her for dinner, and she opened her eyes dazedly, mumbling, "Headache..."

Gu Jiu reached out and touched her forehead, it was terribly hot!

"Why is it burning again?"

Gu Jiu's brows instantly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, his face full of worry.

"thirsty……"

Gu Ranle felt as if her throat was on fire and was extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Jiu quickly poured a glass of warm water, helped her up, and brought the glass to her mouth.

She drank all the water in one breath and kept asking for more.

Gu Jiu poured her another cup and watched her drink it down in gulps.

After drinking three cups in a row, Gu Ranle finally felt his throat feel better.

She leaned against the head of the bed and said weakly, "Master, I feel uncomfortable..."

Gu Jiu looked at her with eyes full of heartache and said softly, "The medicine is ready. I'll bring it to you."

She leaned weakly against the head of the bed, her eyes red like a rabbit's because of the fever.

"Master, my repeated fevers will ruin your reputation as a doctor that you have practiced for decades."

Gu Jiu glared at her and said unhappily, "You still have the energy to joke with me, it seems that you are not very uncomfortable!"

He got up and went downstairs, and came back with a black medicine in a few minutes.

"Come, drink it." Gu Jiu handed the medicine to her mouth.

Gu Ranle obeyed obediently, tilted his head back, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

The medicine was so bitter that her brows furrowed instantly and she subconsciously reached out for candy.

She was in poor health when she was a child and had to drink medicine every day.

But every time she finished drinking, her grandfather would give her a candy. Once the sweet candy entered her mouth, all the bitterness would disappear.

Gu Jiu took out a candy from his pocket and placed it in her palm. "Lie down for a while. I'll call you for dinner later."

"Okay." Gu Ranle responded, peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy into her mouth.

This candy was made by her grandfather himself, using some Chinese medicinal materials. It has a strong herbal flavor as soon as you put it in your mouth, but it is sweet.

Gu Ranle leaned against the head of the bed with a candy in her mouth. Two seconds later, she chewed the candy into pieces and swallowed it.

Although holding the candy in her mouth to let it melt slowly can make it sweeter for a longer time, it is not satisfying that way. She prefers to chew it while eating.

"Master, are there any more? Give me another one." She looked at Gu Jiu eagerly.

Gu Jiu stood up with the medicine bowl in his hand and refused mercilessly: "No more."

"Stingy!" Gu Ranle muttered.

After eating the candy, Gu Ranle lay down and fell asleep again in a daze.

She slept very uneasily, half awake and half awake, and she felt like she was in a very large room.

The room was empty except for her.

She shouted at the top of her lungs, but no one responded.

She walked and walked, but she could not reach the end, as if the room had no end at all.

She has always been brave, but now she felt a sense of fear for the first time.

It was a suffocating, oppressive, lonely fear that wrapped her tightly.

She felt panicky and her pace quickened unconsciously.

But no matter how she walked, the surrounding environment did not change at all, it was still the empty room.

She wanted to find a way out, a place where she could escape from this horror, but she couldn't find one.

The feeling of helplessness became stronger and stronger. She could even feel her heartbeat speeding up and her breathing becoming rapid.

Suddenly, she heard a faint voice, as if someone was calling her.

She raised her head sharply and looked around, but saw nothing.

The sound disappeared again, and the surroundings returned to dead silence.

She gritted her teeth and continued to move forward, secretly cheering herself up and telling herself that she must find a exit.

But after walking for a long time, she was still trapped in this room, and the fear she felt was getting deeper and deeper...

Just when she was about to despair, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Ci Ci? Ci Ci? Wake up..."

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Gu Jiu looking at her with concern.

"Master..."

She cried out weakly, and then she realized that it was just a nightmare.
