Gu Ainan happened to hear a few more words, and he frowned, looking like he was questioning the meaning of life.
Did I hear that right?
Looking at her son's face, Gu Ainan murmured, "How could I have heard the name Xie Chiyuan?"
Chapter 149
After muttering in his sleep, Yu An fell silent again.
Gu Ainan shook his head, guessing that he might be hallucinating because he had talked about Xie Chiyuan with the kids earlier, and that's why he was hearing Xie Chiyuan's name in his ears.
This guess was somewhat reasonable, and Gu Ainan put Xie Chiyuan's name out of her mind after guessing.
He took great care of Yu An, and although Yu An's wound was still open, it was cleaned thoroughly.
"Father Gu!"
Just as Gu Ainan was sitting next to Yu An, a small head peeked in from the doorway.
It's a chirp.
Gu Ainan saw him and waved to him: "Come here."
Chirp walked over in a few steps and climbed onto his lap.
Gu Ainan was very friendly to Yu An's children. He looked down at Qiuqiu and asked, "Did you come to see me for something?"
Chiu Chiu couldn't hide his feelings, and upon hearing this, he nodded obediently.
Yes, there is.
Gu Ainan liked him quite a bit, and seeing that he admitted it, she continued to chat with him, saying, "Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"
"We can get out now."
Chuchu told him the final result of the meeting: "Grandma said we can go out."
A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Ainan's eyes; clearly, he didn't know about this either.
Being able to get out of here means that Yu An can be saved.
This should have been a good thing, but Gu Ainan wasn't feeling relaxed at all. He had too many things on his mind.
Chuchu's little face also looked uneasy. He nudged Gu Ainan's arm and said to him, "Can we take Grandma with us?"
"Grandma packed all your and your older brother's luggage, and she also packed a lot of things for us. But she didn't pack her own."
Chiu Chiu loves her grandma, and the other babies love her grandma too.
Although Grandma's mental state is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she doesn't even recognize them when she's in a bad state, the children still love her.
Because when my grandmother was in good spirits, she was very kind to them.
Gu Ainan did not answer immediately.
His eyes darkened, and he stood up, holding Qiuqiu in his arms: "I'll go with you to find Grandma."
"Um!"
Chiu Chiu nodded, while reminding, "We must take Grandma out with us!"
Father Gu needs to go out to get treatment for his eldest brother, so he definitely has to go. And they, who are going with their eldest brother, will also go back.
They've all left; we can't leave Grandma here alone!
There are crazy people everywhere here. It might not be safe for Grandma to stay here.
soon.
Qiuqiu then brought Gu Ainan to her grandmother's side, where the other children were also present.
"Grandma, Gu's father has something to tell you."
Qiuqiu jumped down from Gu Ainan's arms, and then left with the other cubs.
They don't interrupt when the elders are talking.
After the children left, Gu Ainan looked at Qin Sang in front of her, remained silent for a few seconds, and then spoke.
"Mom, aren't you coming with us?"
Qin Sang was holding a thermos cup with a few goji berries inside, which Jiu Zai had put in for her earlier.
She took a sip of tea, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Little Gu."
"Mom, I'm here."
Gu Ainan could tell that Qin Sang was in better condition than before these past few days with Zai Zai by her side.
At least Qin Sang spent a little more time talking to him while she was awake.
"Thank you for your hard work over the years."
"I'm not tired."
Gu Ainan responded to her words: "I have never felt that it was hard. I had Nannan before, then An'an, and then you. I feel that my life has some regrets, but it has not been hard."
Taking care of his beloved's children and relatives is what he should do.
"Nannan was right about you. You are a good husband and a good father."
"Xiao Gu, I'm too old to go with you."
"Mom, are you worried about the town? These lunatics can't get out. Even without you watching them, they can't escape."
"We've been with these lunatics for so long, it's time to go out and see what's going on."
Gu Ainan wanted to take her with her.
But after living together for so many years, Gu Ainan knew her personality very well.
Once she makes a decision, no one can sway it.
really.
After Gu Ainan tried to persuade her for a long time and said everything she could, Qin Sang still shook her head and said calmly, "I will not leave."
The atmosphere remained tense.
In the end, Gu Ainan could only say in a low voice, "Mom, I'll come back immediately after I finish treating An'an's injuries."
"Don't rush back."
Qin Sang glared at him and sat up straight. She lectured Gu Ainan, "An'an hasn't seen you in a long time, so he might be a little distant. Take him out for a walk, and if you find anything nice, buy it for him."
"Oh, right."
As if remembering something, Qin Sang suddenly said, "An'an is an adult now. When you go out, take a look around. If you find a girl who is suitable for An'an, introduce her to her."
Qin Sang gave instructions on all these important and trivial matters. At this moment, she was just like a normal person, even worrying about her grandson's lifelong happiness.
Gu Ainan knew that this normalcy wouldn't last long.
"mom--"
"Stop arguing, go and take An'an with you, let's go now."
Qin Sang is a woman of action. From attending the baby's meeting to packing her luggage and then talking to Gu Ainan, the whole process took no more than two hours.
She ordered Gu Ainan to take An'an with her, while she herself still needed to find Si Si.
"Sisi is so desperate to get out of here."
She murmured, "Now that we're about to leave, she's hiding here instead."
Time was of the essence, and Qin Sang didn't have the leisure to search bit by bit.
She could only choose the simplest and most direct method, and this method required the help of the other children.
About ten minutes later.
The children all rushed outside, each with a megaphone, shouting their proclamations to every corner of the town.
"Fourth son, come out! If you don't come out, Grandma will put up all your pictures!"
Grandma has a lot of photos of Si Si, but the photos don't show Si Si looking good; they're actually super high-definition, embarrassing pictures of Si Si.
These kids were fascinated by their companions' embarrassing pasts. They held up megaphones and shouted them out with great enthusiasm.
The tiger cub didn't call him "Fourth Cub." He transformed into his original form and walked down the street, with Qiuqiu sitting on his back, holding up a megaphone and calling him "Fourth Cub."
Inside the house.
Gu Ainan carried the things on her back, waiting for Tiger Cub and the others to return.
Once they return, they can leave together.
Time passed little by little.
Just as the cubs were about to give up because they couldn't call for the fourth cub, Chiu Chiu saw a lump of moving mud.
"Mud!"
Chirp pointed at the mud and exclaimed, "It can still move!"
Bazai was quite interested in the mud, so he ran over to take a look.
Then he picked up the mud.
"Look, doesn't this look like the fourth one?"
"It seems to be the fourth son."
"Hey, Si Zai isn't moving at all, is he going to die?"
The cubs didn't want to see the fourth cub die, so they quickly dragged it back.
When Grandma saw the dirty little boy, she filled a basin with water and put him in it.
As the dirty water was replaced one basin after another, the mud puddles gradually revealed their true form.
It's a very bald little fox.
Because it was too bald, it wasn't even classified as furry in Chiu Chiu's eyes.
