Queen Raiders

The Yan family's old house is located in a hill on the outskirts of the city.

Yan Ran's car drove along the expressway around the city. After half an hour, they arrived at the fork of the expressway around the city.

Yan Ran didn't turn on the national road, but drove towards another fork in the road.

In Wu Di's impression, this fork in the road leads to the mountain that can be regarded as a tourist attraction in this city.

The mountain is neither high nor low. In autumn, the whole mountain will be covered with various red, yellow and dark green leaves to form a brilliant night. It is called "Wuhua Mountain" by the people of this city. Good place.

I heard that on the other side of this mountain, there is a small lake, which is uniquely endowed with mountains and rivers.

It's a pity that Wu Di didn't have a chance to see it.

"Before liberation here, it belonged to a big family's property. His family has been a scholar for generations, farming and studying heirlooms. In the Qing Dynasty, there were more than a dozen Jinshi, and the most famous one was the governor. "Yan Yan However, the introduction said.

Wu Di listened carefully, thinking that Yan Ran would not talk about these things for no reason.

"At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The patriarch of the family was afraid that his children and grandchildren would suffer, so he forbade their children and grandchildren to be born in the imperial examination, and even forbade their children and grandchildren to get involved in officialdom. Instead, they worked hard to accumulate money for their children and grandchildren all over the country and even abroad. Real estate and land, in order to retreat."

"Later, the world became more and more chaotic, large and small wars continued, and bandits occupied the top of the mountain again, and often came down to loot..."

As Yan Ran said, he turned the rudder to the right, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.

Wu Di had only climbed the mountain from another direction, but this was the first time he saw the hill from this angle.

It turns out that such a mountain that is neither high nor short has such a steep side.

If it is such a mountain, it may be really suitable for sheltering from the world.

"What happened later?" Wu Di asked.

"Later..." Yan Ran paused, "Later, the bandits also visited this big family. Because of the chaos in the world, the whole family fled and fled, and only the patriarch and the family remained here. The family of the patriarch Ding Xibo, there are only two old couples, guarding an only daughter. When the bandits came down the mountain, they tried their best to meet the bandits' requirements, and the bandits didn't want to provoke such a well-established family, so they each took a step back, and they were in peace with each other."

When Yan Ran said this, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at Wu Di: "...the only daughter of this family is my grandma."

Wu Di said "ah" and was stunned.

She guessed that the story that Yan Ran started must have something to do with Yan's old house, but she never expected that the old house came from Grandma Yan Ran.

Wu Di originally thought that Yan Ran's grandfather had something to do with that big family.

So, Yan Ran's grandfather is actually...

Wu Di raised his eyebrows.

"Those things that happened later are all written in the history books, and we all learned them when we were in school." Yan Ran said.

Wu Di understood: what Yan Ran was referring to was the things that could or could not be said after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Come to think of it, Grandma Yan Ran's background wouldn't be treated well, would she?

Sure enough, I heard Yan Ran say: "Grandma's situation was very bad at the time. Both her parents passed away, and there was only one distant cousin who depended on her. Grandpa came from a good background. She was of the root, Zhengmiao, and red kind. She liked grandma and felt sorry for grandma. , regardless of the future and grandma."

"Not long after my grandpa and grandma got married, my grandma gave birth to my father, who passed away because he was too weak." Yan Ran sighed.

Wu Di also felt embarrassed when he heard this past incident.

Imagine Yan Ran's grandma and her distant cousin who depended on each other, two weak women depended on each other in an unpredictable world, one can imagine how pitiful it is.

Wu Di actually wanted to ask: what happened to that distant cousin.

But there was one problem that caught her——

"Your second uncle, isn't he..."

"Yes, second uncle is not grandma's son." Yan Ran said.

Wu Di really digested and understood for a while.

"So, your grandfather doesn't like your second uncle because of this? He doesn't even like Yan Ying?" Wu Di asked.

Yan Ran pursed her lips: "It should be. I have heard grandpa talk about grandma countless times since I was a child. In his heart, grandma is like a fairy."

But once the fairy sister passed away, he continued.

Wu Di answered in his heart.

Ah!This is man.

He said that he loved a certain woman to death, but he continued the string as soon as the woman died, which is called "continuing the incense".In fact, the poor one is the woman who continued the string, and the child she gave birth to.

Wu Di began to understand why Yan Ran's second uncle, and Yan Ying, hated Yan Ran's parents and Yan Ran so much.

Because they have not been treated fairly since childhood.

The instigator was Yan Ran's grandfather.

It was hard for Wu Di to say these words, how could that old man be Yan Ran's grandfather, and she would be her elder in the future.

In the future...

Wu Di smacked his lips.

She and Yan Ran are together, isn't that old man also her grandfather?

"Grandpa said that grandma is beautiful, and my appearance is very similar to grandma." Yan Ran said.

Wu Di raised his eyebrows, thinking that it's no wonder Yan Ying doesn't look like you.

Yan Ying and Yan Ran are not the same grandma, even if they look like, they don't look like Yan Ran's grandma.

Yan Ying...

Wu Di frowned.

Yan Ying's facial features flashed in her mind, but they were still inexplicably familiar.

"What's wrong?" Yan Ran stopped the car and looked at Wu Di worriedly.

She thought Wu Di was frowning nervously because he wanted to see her grandfather.

"It's nothing, I just thought of Yan Ying's appearance..." Wu Di paused, "The first time I saw her, I thought she looked familiar."

Yan Ran froze when he undid his seat belt, and his gaze stayed on Wu Di's face.

Wu Di felt her probing eyes turn round and round on his face.

As if to see something through his own face.

what did you see?

Wu Di was also in a daze.

"Squeak-"

Beside the road where the car stopped, a brown-black automatic gate opened from the inside.

A tall, thin figure who was neatly dressed and meticulously groomed stood at the door.

Wu Di naturally turned his head and looked over.

Seeing that it was an old man in his sixties, he was full of energy, his eyes were shrewd, and his face was well maintained. He didn't have the vicissitudes of time on the face of an old man of this age.

He obviously saw Yan Ran's car, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face.

When Wu Di just saw the tall and thin figure, he thought it was Yan Ran's grandfather who came out to greet him in person.

Once he saw that face, he knew that this person was not Yan Ran's grandfather.

Wu Di once saw a photo of the reclusive chairman of the Yan family in a business magazine.

Wu Di's memory is very good, she clearly remembers not this appearance.

Moreover, the old man in front of him obviously did not have the calm and prestige of Yan Ran's grandfather.

Yan Ran signaled Wu Di to get out of the car with her, then opened the door and walked towards the old man.

Wu Di also got out of the car and followed.

When the tall and thin old man saw Yan Ran, the gentleness on his face immediately turned into full kindness.

"Xiaoran is back?" she articulated clearly.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang." Yan Ran greeted him with a smile.

Taking advantage of the situation, he pulled Wu Di's arm and let Wu Di stand by his side.

"This is Grandpa's housekeeper, Uncle Zhang." Yan Ran first introduced it to Wu Di.

It turned out to be the housekeeper, Wu Dixin said.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang." Wu Di smiled and bowed to Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang hurriedly bowed, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what to call this young lady?"

"This is my friend, Wu Di." Yan Ran introduced.

Then she and Wu Di both saw that after Lao Zhang heard the name "Wu Di", his tall and thin body visibly swayed.

Both Yan Ran and Wu Di's minds flashed inexplicably.

"So it's Miss Wu, welcome!" Old Zhang subconsciously bowed even lower.

Lao Zhang smiled and said that standing at the door is not the way to welcome guests, please invite Miss Wu to go in.

As he said that, he was about to call someone to park for Yan Ran.

Yan Ran smiled and said that she could do it herself.

She pulled Wu Di's cuff and let Wu Di get into the car with her.

Wu Di hadn't recovered from Lao Zhang's strange reaction, and thought to himself, could it be that everyone is well-bred and treats guests so politely?

But something always feels wrong.

Just like that, he returned to the car with Yan Ran, and entered the old house through the brown-black door.

Feeling that the door was closed tightly behind him, making a "squeak" sound, the sun would be high tomorrow, but Wu Di felt that the door seemed to cut off the sunlight.

Wu Di turned his face in the car to look at a battery car behind him, which was driven by a young man in uniform, and Lao Zhang was sitting in it.

"Don't worry, it's always been like this at home." Yan Ran comforted Wu Di while driving.

Wu Di didn't know what she meant by "the family has always been like this", so in order not to distract Yan Ran, he just gave a faint "hmm".

After Yan Ran's car drove for a full 3 minutes, a big house in front of him suddenly caught Wu Di's eyes.

Wu Di looked at this big house, imagining that it might be more than enough to accommodate dozens of people in it?

It's pitiful that she came from a small family. I really can't imagine what the life of a real rich man is like, and she is the kind of rich man who hides in the city.

Sensing her mood, Yan Ran patted the back of her hand comfortingly.

Wu Di returned her a shallow smile.

Yan Ran parked the car and got out first.

He actually opened the car door for Wu Di, and then pulled Wu Di out of the car.

Wu Di, a self-proclaimed Gongjun, was quite embarrassed to be led away by her Shoujun.

Lao Zhang got off the battery car, and after whispering a few words to the young man, when he was walking towards Yan Ran and the others, he happened to see Yan Ran and Wu Di interlocking their fingers and going into the old house.

The muscles on Lao Zhang's face tensed, and he twitched a few times unnaturally.

He looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly.

Subconsciously stroked the heart again, the heart was still beating well.

It seems that nothing has changed, why is there a feeling that the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is overwhelming?

In the southwest direction, a large group of black and blue clouds are silently rising up...
