Chapter 957: Frightened Out of Her Mind

Rong Zhengguo and Jiang You, who were also in the air-raid shelter, felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently. The stones at the ceiling of the cave fell along with the dirt. There was grey dust in front of their eyes, and they couldn’t see anything.

The two of them had experienced many great storms before, so they didn’t even stop for a moment. They turned around and ran toward the entrance of the cave. As they ran, they shouted anxiously, “Beloved Grandchild Number One, Beloved Grandchild Number One. Please answer if you hear us.”

There was no sound on the other end of the line. The noise of static from the walkie-talkie was very strong, and one could even hear the echoing sounds of explosions.

“Huo Xiao, do you hear me? If you do, answer quickly!” Rong Zhengguo bellowed, his eyes red with anxiety.

The sounds of the explosion came from Old Huo’s side of the air-raid shelter. His legs weren’t good, so could he run?!

Jiang You was covered in dust, but he didn’t have time to clean up either. He frantically scrambled to the highest ground and saw that the entire bomb shelter had collapsed in the northwest direction. His eyes instantly turned red as he shouted into the walkie-talkie, “Huo Xiao, please answer if you hear me! Huo Xiao, answer me! You old thing, answer me quickly!”

As he continued shouting, his voice had even cracked. He comforted himself over and over again in his heart. It can’t be. Didn’t he go out to answer Sheng Sheng’s call? Definitely nothing had happened!

Oh right, Sheng Sheng! Call Sheng Sheng!

At the scene of the incident, the boulder had blocked a portion of the shattered stones that had flown over. Huo Xiao, who was covered in stone and dust, coughed lowly and slowly opened his eyes. He didn’t care if he was injured or not. He crawled up and stood on the stone, gazing into the distance all around him.

His forehead was injured, and blood was flowing down his face, blurring his eyes, but when he saw that only the bomb shelter he was in had collapsed and that Old Rong and Old Jiang were fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and finally turned around to look for his phone.

When my dear granddaughter called me, the bomb shelter behind me just happened to explode and collapse. The sound was so loud that she must have heard it. Who knows how scared and worried she must be now!

He had to find his phone quickly and call his dear granddaughter to tell her that he was safe.

When Rong Zhengguo and Jiang You ran over, they saw him circling around the boulder as if he was looking for something. His face was covered in blood, looking very frightening.

The two of them looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Tears glistened in their eyes. No matter what, it was good that he was fine.

Rong Zhengguo cried tears of joy and shouted at him, “Huo Xiao, Huo Xiao!”

The old thing opposite him had lost his walking stick. He was limping as he dragged his legs, almost lying on the ground to look for something.

Jiang You hurriedly ran over. As he got closer, he didn’t know if he should be angry or anxious. He shouted, “Huo Xiao, why didn’t you pick up the walkie-talkie and talk to us?”

He was fine but he didn’t even answer the walkie-talkie. Was he trying to kill them with anxiety? He ran over here without even taking a breather at his age, so his bones were about to fall apart.

It wasn’t that Huo Xiao was ignoring them, but he had lost his walkie-talkie. He couldn’t find it, and he had also lost his phone. He didn’t know where it had flown off to.

Moreover, when the air-raid shelter exploded and collapsed, he was too close to it. His ears were so shocked by the deafening sound that he couldn’t hear anything either. There was only a series of buzzing sounds. More than twenty minutes had passed since the incident, but his ears were still ringing!

Jiang You called Ling Sheng and passed the phone to him to talk.

Ling Sheng was already anxious to death. Before she received definite news, she absolutely could not let her imagination run wild. It was only when she received a call from Grandpa Jiang, who told her that Grandpa was fine, that her tears fell again, and her voice became hoarse. “Grandpa!”

Nangong Lengyu and Nangong Lengfei were also extremely anxious. When the two of them entered, they saw her faint on the sofa. When she woke up, she seemed to have gone crazy. She kept calling repeatedly as though she had gone out of her mind and cried as she was calling. No matter how they tried to advise her, she couldn’t stop her.

Huo Xiao couldn’t hear anything either. He couldn’t hear anything, so he just chuckled. Afraid that she couldn’t hear him, he said very loudly, “Sheng Sheng, I’m Grandpa. Grandpa is fine! Grandpa is well! Don’t worry!”

Ling Sheng cried until she could not speak. She choked and kept calling ‘Grandpa!’. When she heard him speak on the other end of the phone, his voice full of energy, her heart—which had been suspended in midair—finally settled down.

Jiang You snatched the phone away and glared at him. “You old thing, you can’t even hear Sheng Sheng speak. What nonsense are you spouting?!”

Ling Sheng listened to Grandpa Jiang tell her, saying that it was all thanks to her calling him that Grandpa had not been in the bomb shelter. In order to give her a call, he had run out of the shelter not long after entering the cave and avoided this disaster.

Rong Zhengguo was giving Huo Xiao’s wound an emergency treatment. He looked at him and smiled. “You old thing, you’re really lucky. When you get home, thank Sheng Sheng properly. A call saved your life.”

Now that he thought about it, he still felt a strong lingering fear. If Old Huo hadn’t gone out, he would have been dead by now. Luckily too, it was a call from Sheng Sheng. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t have gone out in such a hurry either.

Jiang You hung up and also nodded in agreement. “Sheng Sheng is a gem. We should thank her properly.”

It was quite a coincidence too. Logically speaking, there was no signal in the air-raid shelter, and even when they used the walkie-talkies, it came and went. That Sheng Sheng’s call could come in, and Old Huo loved his granddaughter as much as his life. It was only right that he could avoid this calamity in his fate.

Huo Xiao did not hear Ling Sheng’s voice either, but he knew that his dear granddaughter was definitely crying. His heart ached terribly, and his mood fell.

At the thought of something important, he shouted at the top of his lungs again, “You two didn’t tell Yin’er about this, did you?!”

Jiang You blocked his ears, retreated, and pointed at him. “No, you don’t have to be so loud! We’re not deaf!”

Rong Zhengguo pointed at him and laughed. “This old thing. Anyone who isn’t deaf will be deafened by his shouting.”

He was glad that the three of them were still alive and well. In the future, it was better not to play these kinds of outdoor activities anymore. Nothing was more important than their lives. It was more important to live well.

The older one got, the more afraid one would be of dying. They always had countless wishes. They wanted to see their son grow up, start a family, and afterward, they would long for a grandchild. But once they got a grandchild, they would also wish for a great-grandchild. There was no end to it.

Ling Sheng’s eyes were red. When she got into the car, she was still crying from lingering fear. There was a pile of tissues beside her, and she took out another tissue to wipe her tears and snot.

Nangong Lengyu took a tissue to wipe her tears and gently advised, “Don’t cry anymore. Isn’t Grandpa fine now? Don’t cry anymore!”

“I know.” Ling Sheng knew that her grandfather was fine, so she should be happy. But for some reason, she just couldn’t control herself as her tears kept flowing.

“Look at how swollen your eyes are from crying.. Do you want Grandpa to be worried and heartbroken when you see him?” Nangong Lengyu knew that she had a close relationship with her grandparents, but she didn’t expect it to be so deep.
