Chapter 1186: Stay

This was the first time this young man came out of Qinnan Village. He was filled with longing and yearning for the outside world. He wanted to come out and take a look, but in the end, he stepped into an abyss of eternal damnation. How poor was he?

Gu Yundong tapped his head. “These aren’t good people. They gave you a month’s salary because they wanted to hold you back…”

Gu Yundong treated Qin Shu as her younger brother. Hence, she patiently explained what this bunch of people were.

Shao Qingyuan was staring into the distance. Fortunately, the other guard never came back.

After Gu Yundong briefly explained what happened, Qin Shu was stunned.

He widened his eyes in disbelief. His legs started to turn weak. “Sister Gu, are you saying that these people, they, they…”

“There are good people and bad people outside. You shouldn’t have come here alone. Humans are unpredictable. A person who treats you well one moment might stab you in the back the next.” Gu Yundong sighed. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have told you about the beautiful things outside.”

Qin Shu shook his head. “No, it’s not Sister Gu’s fault. I’m too eager to come out and take a look.”

His father died a long time ago and his mother remarried and left Qinnan Village. He wanted to know how good the outside world was for his mother to abandon him and run out to marry someone else.

“Alright, before they discover you, I’ll bring you away. The village head must be worried about your safety.”

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan exchanged glances with each other. Then, they pulled Qin Shu, who was still in a daze, down the mountain carefully.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, Qin Shu suddenly stopped. “No, I can’t leave.”

Gu Yundong frowned. “Why?”

“Sister Gu, if what you said is true, Brother Sun and the others are all bad people. If I leave, they will know that I saw through their disguise. What if I go to Qinnan Village and harm the village head?”

Gu Yundong was stunned. She looked at him in surprise.

She didn’t expect him to think of this.

Qin Shu—-He was naive but he wasn’t stupid.

However, he was right. Brother Sun must have asked around about Qin Shu’s hometown. If Qin Shu disappeared, Qinnan Village might be targeted.

But she couldn’t allow Qin Shu to continue staying here.

“Sister Gu, I want to stay. Since you and Brother Shao know their true faces, you can report to the authorities and ask them to catch them. That way, if I leave, Qinnan Village will be fine, right?”

Yes, yes. But…

“Since I know that they are bad people, I will be careful. Don’t worry, I might be able to help.”

I’m truly worried.

Gu Yundong was in a dilemma. On the other hand, Shao Qingyuan took a few more glances at Qin Shu and said, “Alright, you can stay.”

Gu Yundong looked at him in surprise.

Shao Qingyuan said, “Qin Shu knows the severity of the matter. Even if it’s for Qinnan Village, he won’t expose himself to danger, right?”

Qin Shu nodded his head fervently. He immediately felt that he had a huge responsibility.

That’s right, he didn’t just need to protect himself. He needed to protect the villagers of Qinnan Village too.

If he was exposed, all the people in Qinnan Village would be harmed.

Gu Yundong glanced around him and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she nodded.

“Alright, stay here. Be careful. After everything here is settled, I will bring you to see the real world. At that time, you will be able to earn more money and build roads for Qinnan Village.”
