Chapter 541 - 541 Unexpected 541

541: Unexpected Chapter 541 541: Unexpected Chapter 541 Concerning the affairs of Miaojiang, on the way there, Qin Han had pondered many possible scenarios he might encounter, but due to the appearance of Tang Liuyu, everything had turned out to be far simpler.

When Qin Han stepped out of the car, he looked at the tall building in front of him and asked Tang Liuyu with some confusion, “Old Tang, aren’t we going to Miaojiang?”

“There’s no need, Mr.

Qin.

You’ve fallen into a misconception, which is associating Gu poison with the need to visit Miaojiang.

The current Xiangxi differs completely from what it was like before the liberation.

The Miao people have gradually adapted to the Han lifestyle.

Moreover, the person you are looking for is right here, not in Miaojiang at all.”

Hearing this, Qin Han was taken aback.

Indeed!

Upon hearing about Gu poison, the first place he and Ding Pulan thought of was Miaojiang, but they had overlooked the fact that the note only mentioned looking for someone in Xiangxi, never mentioning Miaojiang at all!

When Tang Liuyu had led them to a small courtyard, Qin Han was stunned by the sight before him.

Perhaps the others hadn’t noticed anything, but Qin Han could sense that the entire courtyard was a realm dominated by venomous insects.

So, when Wang Pingchuan was about to step in, Qin Han grabbed him.

Qin Han wasn’t the only one who felt it; Dugu Wushang did too, but Dugu Wushang didn’t know about the venomous insects inside, sensing only that it was filled with danger instinctively.

“Junior Tang Liuyu has brought friends to pay a visit to Witch Hua!” Tang Liuyu shouted toward the courtyard door.

After Tang Liuyu finished speaking, a hoarse elderly woman’s voice came from inside the courtyard, “Tang Liuyu, you’d better not meddle in this matter!”

“Witch Hua, feuds should be settled rather than prolonged.

We are all of such an age now, what is left to be so troubled about?” Tang Liuyu said with a sigh.

“Are we to let a faithless man pass away peacefully?” the voice of Witch Hua came from inside.

“Faithless man?

Are you Granny Hua?” Upon hearing this, Ding Pulan asked urgently, “Are you Granny Hua?”

“Little girl, who are you?” Witch Hua asked with puzzlement upon hearing Ding Pulan’s words.

“I am the great-granddaughter of Ding Wanquan from the Ding family!” said Ding Pulan.

“What did you say you are his great-granddaughter?” The voice of Witch Hua sounded excited, and following that, the door of a room in the small courtyard opened, and an old woman with white hair came out, her eyes fixed tightly on Ding Pulan.

“Why do you call me Granny Hua?

What did that old codger tell you?” Witch Hua said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, a look of joy spread across Ding Pulan’s face.

“Is it really you?”

As she spoke, Ding Pulan took out a photo and pointed to a young woman in it, saying, “Granny Hua, this is you, isn’t it?”

“How do you have this photo!?” Witch Hua asked excitedly upon seeing the photo in Ding Pulan’s hand.

“It is the duty of descendants of the Ding family to seek out Hua Mengning, or, if she is no longer living, to find her descendants,” Ding Pulan said slowly, her eyes moistening, “Granny Hua, this is the family teaching of the Ding.

My great-grandfather never forgot you.

The incident from those years had other secrets, and even my great-grandmother mentioned on her deathbed that it is imperative for Ding’s descendants to find you or your descendants, or else my great-grandfather would rest uneasy!”

“Are you trying to trick me into removing the Gu poison from that old wretch by flattering me?” Witch Hua looked fiercely at Ding Pulan.

“My great-grandfather didn’t abandon you.

It was when you had gone out to gather herbs, and some Japanese soldiers came.

My great-grandfather couldn’t confront them because he was wounded and was afraid you would run into harm on your way back.

That’s why he led the Japanese soldiers away by himself, ultimately having no choice but to jump off a cliff!”

“Fortunately, halfway down my great-grandfather was slowed by some trees and only broke his leg.

Granny Hua, if it was indeed you who cast the Gu poison, someone should have told you, my great-grandfather has a limp in his left leg!”

“The reason for his limp is that he didn’t receive treatment after the fall from the cliff.

By the time he found the troops, the wound was already infected.

It was already a stroke of luck that his leg wasn’t amputated!”

Ding Pulan, already reduced to tears, said, “By the time Grandfather returned to your house, there was not a single person left in the room.

At first, he thought you had met with foul play, but seeing no blood in the yard, he believed you must have fled.

After the war ended, Great-grandfather never stopped searching for his sister Hua!

It wasn’t until he was thirty-five that he started a family!

But he still hasn’t forgotten about you!”

“Is everything you’re saying true?

Is it all true?” Hua the witch trembled all over as she heard Ding Pulan’s words, asking over and over again.

Seeing this scene, Qin Han sighed inwardly.

Another tragic love story.

If it hadn’t been for all this heroism, perhaps there wouldn’t have been so many misunderstandings.

If it was possible to find Old Master Ding, why not just go and ask in person?

“It’s true!” Ding Pulan, having said this, walked directly into the courtyard, wanting to approach Hua the witch.

But at that moment, a poisonous snake, from who knows where, flew out in the yard, heading straight for Ding Pulan’s throat.

“Be careful!” Just as his warning sounded, Qin Han’s figure blurred, but the snake was just too close to Ding Pulan, leaving no chance for Qin Han to react.

Wang Pingchuan also rushed toward the courtyard, his eyes full of worry.

Dugu Wushang saw Qin Han move and opted to stand quietly aside.

In his view, if Qin Han couldn’t save Ding Pulan, anyone else’s attempt would be futile.

Therefore, there was no need to intervene.

Nobody could be faster than Qin Han!

As everyone watched the snake perch on Ding Pulan’s neck, its jaws wide open and venomous fangs aimed right at Ding Pulan’s carotid artery.

In that moment, Ding Pulan’s eyes were filled with despair, not having anticipated that just as the issue was about to be resolved, she would die at the fangs of a venomous snake.

Just as everyone watched, certain that Ding Pulan was about to perish, Hua the witch suddenly grabbed the snake and flung it to the ground, exclaiming, “Get lost!”

The writer crafts these words slowly, but all of it happened as swiftly as a spark from flint.

Qin Han, still suspended in mid-air, witnessed this ridiculous scene.

“Miss Ding, tell Granny, was what you just said true?” Hua the witch asked Ding Pulan, hope written all over her face.

Ding Pulan, holding onto Hua the witch’s hand, pulled her toward the door, saying, “Granny Hua, come back to Central Plains with me.

You can ask Great-grandfather yourself!

He’d be overjoyed if he saw you, I don’t know what he would turn into!”

“Did that old man really spend all these years looking for me?” Hua the witch asked again.

“Granny Hua, your search has been published many times in the newspapers of Western Hunan!” said Ding Pulan with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Hua the witch was taken aback, then irritably said, “Ah, he always said I should learn to read more.

After he left, I was so angry I burned all the books he left me…”

Qin Han hadn’t expected that, after all the painstaking preparation, the outcome would be such a surprise.

But, ultimately, it was a good ending, and without doubt, the best solution if it meant avoiding having to fight to resolve Old Master Ding’s illness.

When they returned to the Tang family villa, Wang Pingchuan’s master was looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

Seeing the expression on Wang Pingchuan’s master’s face, Qin Han understood everything in an instant.

That’s why Wang Pingchuan had told Ding Pulan not to worry when they were on their way here—they had anticipated this all along.

That night, after dinner, Ding Pulan bid farewell to Tang Liuyu and intended to leave immediately with Hua the witch to return to Central Plains.

But Qin Han shook his head and said, “Miss Ding, you go ahead and return first!

I still have some things to take care of!”
