Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Living Next Door

Although the environment here is nice, it is quite remote.

At this time, the city was still lit up with bright lights and bustling with traffic, but here, walking along this road, there wasn’t a single person in sight.

Only in a place where a few houses gathered could some light be seen shining through.

Gu Hangshen was staring intently at the wooden house next to him.

An old woman was walking towards the wooden house, carrying a lantern and holding keys, apparently about to unlock the door.

So, there were people living here?

The old woman noticed the stranger standing outside Xiaoqiao’s yard and stopped what she was doing to approach him, her gaze carried a hint of wariness, "Sir, may I ask what you need?"

Gu Hangshen bowed slightly to greet her, "Ma’am, I came here from China to visit a friend, but it seems he has moved away. Do you know if there’s a vacant house nearby that is available for rent?"

As the elderly lady was pondering, Xiao Nian peeked out from behind her dad and sweetly greeted the old woman, "Hello, Granny!"

Even though they did not speak the same language, the elderly lady understood that the baby was greeting her. Upon seeing such a lovely child, her expression immediately softened, and with it, her wariness towards Gu Hangshen faded.

"You brought a child with you!" murmured the elderly lady, "It’s so late, and you have nowhere to stay, and it’s a few hours’ drive from here to the nearest town with a hotel..."

After thinking for a while, she seemed to make up her mind, "Well! I’ll take you to have a look at this house."

"Do you live here?" Gu Hangshen asked.

"No, I live with my daughter not far from here. This is my son’s house, but he moved to the city after getting married, and it has been empty since. I come here to clean occasionally. I have been hoping that my son would come back to stay, but he hasn’t returned for several years now. This place is too remote, only locals live around here, and it’s never been rented out."

While speaking, the old woman opened the courtyard gate and led him into the house, showing him around both the upstairs and downstairs.

This wooden house was adjacent to where Xiaoqiao lived, standing on the balcony one could almost climb directly onto the opposite balcony.

"Don’t worry, I clean here often; it’s very tidy. The furniture and appliances are all complete. If you think it’s okay, you can move in with your child right away. I can help you change the beddings to new ones!"

"Can we move in tonight?" Gu Hangshen asked.

"Of course, of course."

...

After they had agreed on the rent, the old woman also warmly told him how to get to the nearby convenience store, introduced him to the most beautiful scenic spots, mentioned that there was an annual fireworks festival, and that the lavender ice cream was quite famous. She said that the cow pasture a few hundred meters to the east provided fresh milk every morning...

Although located off the beaten path, it was indeed a perfect place for seclusion.

The person who had arranged this place for Xiaoqiao had obviously made a great effort.

The location was secluded, perfect for hiding; the environment was good, suitable for recuperation.

There were almost no modern forms of transportation, and the most dangerous things were the free-roaming cows.

Obviously, Xiaoqiao, being visually impaired, could not have come here alone; she must have had someone’s help.

But now, finding out who had helped her was no longer important to him.

What was important was that she was here.

"Alright, you two should rest early. I still need to go and check on the neighbor," said the old woman as she stood up.
