My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 221 Danger

Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Danger

Tang Chuxia brought Tang Jianjun to Third Grandpa.

When Third Grandpa saw the two people appearing before him, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Let me guess, which kid surnamed Gu has gotten into trouble?"

Third Grandpa’s words reminded Tang Chuxia of something Gu Beihuai had mentioned before—that Third Grandpa had warned him about an impending misfortune.

She hadn’t expected it to come true here.

Tang Chuxia went straight to the point about Gu Beihuai’s injury, "Third Grandpa, I just want to know, was it an accident or was it premeditated?"

Third Grandpa gestured for them to sit down.

The old man calmly began to roll his cigarette—the tobacco was all shreds, obviously the type used by ordinary villagers. Yet, it was this ordinary old man who had predicted Gu Beihuai’s situation.

It wasn’t until Third Grandpa lit the tobacco that he exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Hard to say!"

Tang Chuxia almost couldn’t catch her breath.

She asked bluntly, "Third Grandpa, just tell me straight, are those madmen from Qingzhu?"

She hadn’t seen the bodies of the criminals and the girl, so she couldn’t be sure.

It was wise to have Third Grandpa take a look as he was skilled in examining bodies.

Only then did Tang Jianjun realize that Tang Chuxia hadn’t brought him just to drive but also to inquire about Qingzhu.

Despite being in the navy, Tang Jianjun still had some channels for information.

Hearing Tang Chuxia’s words, he became even more puzzled.

"Qingzhu?"

He looked around, "Is it the Qingzhu I’m thinking of?"

Third Grandpa ignored him, and Tang Chuxia wasn’t sure if Tang Jianjun knew either, so she continued ignoring him.

But this frustrated Tang Jianjun.

"Last time I accompanied my cousin to a matchmaking, that man was from Qingzhu. I doubted his cause of death then, but later Gu Beihuai told me not to ask further, so I didn’t bother, but now his life or death is uncertain!"

Tang Chuxia was eerily calm.

Third Grandpa hummed, "You are right!"

Tang Jianjun was baffled on the side, what had Tang Chuxia said? Why had Third Grandpa confirmed it so readily?

Could it be they were not speaking a language from this world?

Why couldn’t he understand?

Tang Chuxia took out a pen and began to sketch in her notebook, "The two people looked like this, the girl had a dull, lifeless gaze, definitely not normal! As for the criminal, he laughed crazily at the end, it felt like he was relieved after completing a mission!"

After Third Grandpa looked at it, he checked the eyes Tang Chuxia emphasized.

"You analyzed it correctly, they were both controlled!"

Third Grandpa handed Tang Chuxia a small bottle, "This is a piece of flesh!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Although she was very composed, she indeed didn’t make it a habit of handling pieces of flesh.

"This was cut from the body of the Earth Dragon. If it hadn’t been controlled in time, the person would have committed suicide too!"

Third Grandpa then explained to her about the Earth Dragon, especially the poison on its body. As someone who dealt with corpses all year round, he could certainly analyze what was going on.

Tang Chuxia tossed the bottle back to Third Grandpa, "Can it be cured?"

Third Grandpa shook his head, "I can’t do it, but the old Taoist can!"

Tang Chuxia thought Third Grandpa was talking about Lin Qingchen’s uncle, but it turned out he was referring to Lin Qingchen’s master.

"Have you found the person?" After Tang Chuxia asked, Third Grandpa gave her a sharp look, "How would I know where to find them!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

So, you’re just in charge of talking!

He pointed at Tang Chuxia’s forehead, "What’s this death calamity of yours about?"

Tang Chuxia rubbed her forehead, "I have a death calamity? Wasn’t it set for the fifth day of the fifth lunar month?"

Third Grandpa waved his hand, "It’s not the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, that was changed long ago. It’s just the old monk couldn’t see through it. Your death calamity is..."

Before Third Grandpa could finish, he suddenly yelled, "Not good," and grabbed Tang Jianjun, pulling Tang Chuxia away as they ran.

Tang Chuxia let out a sound of surprise, unclear about what was happening. She was mysteriously pulled by Third Grandpa towards the back house and was then pushed into a cellar, instructed, "Don’t come out no matter what!"

Although Tang Chuxia didn’t understand what was going on, she did as told.

Tang Jianjun was also pushed in by Third Grandpa, who then struggled to cover the cellar door and took a pull from his dry pipe before settling back in his original spot.

Just as he had smoked half a pipe, someone kicked the door open and entered.

The person came in cursing but upon seeing only Third Grandpa there, he sat down.

"You old man, you aren’t dead yet?"

Third Grandpa scoffed coldly, "You’re not dead, and I haven’t lived enough yet. Why would I go and die?"

The man chuckled twice, brushing his bald head—a bald head on such a cold day, and he wasn’t even afraid of freezing.

Third Grandpa faced his baldness but said nothing.

"Old man, since you haven’t died, there’s someone I want you to look at!"

He then signaled towards the entrance, and someone brought in a corpse, dumping it in the yard.

Third Grandpa’s eyelids drooped, entirely unresponsive.

Seeing that Third Grandpa ignored him, the man didn’t get annoyed but leaned closer, a sneaky grin on his face, "Old man, do me a favor, after all, we’re from the same sect."

Third Grandpa huffed coldly and held out his hand. The man had no choice but to pull out a bottle and place it in Third Grandpa’s hand.

Third Grandpa opened the bottle, and though not entirely satisfied with the contents, it could be made do.

A good bug is very hard to cultivate, after all.

He crouched down and inspected the corpse on the ground, then directed baldy to grab his tool kit from inside. Once everything was ready, Third Grandpa then began dissecting the body on the spot.

He treated the corpse with great respect.

After he explained all the clues, baldy was quite pleased. He had people carry the now stitched-up corpse away and handed Third Grandpa a stack of money before leaving.

Just as baldy was leaving, he threw a bottle towards the entrance and then whistled as he left.

Third Grandpa in the yard scoffed coldly, took out the freshly received bottle, opened it, and threw it towards the entrance.

If someone had been crouching down to look, they would have noticed a layer of bugs begin to bite each other on the ground.

Third Grandpa waited a half hour before letting Tang Chuxia and Tang Jianjun out.

"Third Grandpa, who were those people just now? Why were you so tense?"

Tang Chuxia patted the mud off herself, a face full of curiosity.

Yet Third Grandpa was still staring at her forehead.

Beside her, Tang Jianjun asked in surprise, "Third Grandpa, you don’t mean to say Xiaxia’s death calamity isn’t over yet?"

Third Grandpa actually nodded.

"I thought the death calamity was brought by those guys just now, but it seems not. Girl, you’re in trouble!"

After Third Grandpa spoke, Tang Chuxia suddenly pointed behind him and exclaimed, "Third Grandpa!"

Third Grandpa hurriedly turned around, only to see the bald man come back, carrying something the size of a rat, which he then threw at Tang Chuxia.

Third Grandpa shouted, "Girl, dodge!"
