Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 817

Chapter 817: 208: The Truth!_2

Talking and talking, Ni Yang’s eyes began to light up as if they were filled to the brim with stars.

"Do you know a lot about food?" Grandpa Du slightly lifted his eyes, meeting a pair of clear, bottomless eyes, then subtly lowered them again.

Ni Yang took another big bite of fish, "It’s okay, just a bit pickier than the average person."

Grandpa Du nodded.

Ni Yang continued, "What about you? I always see you with Buddha Beads, have you seen through the mundane world?"

Grandpa Du smiled faintly, "I’m just a common man. Seeing through the mundane world isn’t so easy."

Ni Yang nodded, "That makes sense. In this vast mundane world, there are wines, meats, and beauties. It’s indeed not easy to see through all that."

"You seem to understand life quite well," Grandpa Du said in a light tone.

Having finished the last bite of the fish, Ni Yang clapped his hands, stood up from the ground, and said, "Let’s head back."

"Okay," responded Grandpa Du, standing up as well.

Ni Yang poured the water from his water bottle over the campfire to extinguish it, and they descended the mountain together.

They walked one after the other.

Ni Yang led the way, and Grandpa Du followed.

As they passed a slippery spot, Ni Yang looked back to remind Grandpa Du, "There’s water here, Mr. Du, be careful."

Grandpa Du lifted his eyes towards Ni Yang.

Somehow, he felt that he was not here to protect Ni Yang...

In fact, the one being protected had always been him.

Right, how could someone who could slaughter chickens, kill fish, fight, and even dare to swallow a snake gall need anyone else’s care?

A faint smile unwittingly appeared on Grandpa Du’s lips.

Soon, they arrived at Old Wang’s house.

The old couple were leaning against the door, looking out. Seeing Ni Yang and Grandpa Du return, they excitedly greeted them, "Yangyang, Grandpa Du, you’re back! Was everything okay last night?"

"All good," Ni Yang replied, grasping Wang Zhoushi’s hand. "Don’t worry, Mistress."

Old Wang looked at Grandpa Du, "It must have been tough for you last night."

This was the Grandpa Du who was respected by everyone within ten miles.
