Chapter 1120: Save My Grandson (6)
The old man lived in a village about five or six miles away from the town; at this time, the market had not yet started, so there weren’t many people leaving the village.
"Grandpa, those two brothers don’t seem like bad people." Ten-year-old Ge Dan was very sensible, helping to pull the cart whenever his grandfather pushed it.
"Dandan, now bad people don’t write ’bad person’ on their faces, do they?" Ge Lao Han sighed, "Ermao from next door was taken away by someone, wasn’t he? He still hasn’t come back, and we don’t even know... Ah... Dandan, remember, in the future, you must stay away from strangers. Grandpa only has you as family..."
"Don’t worry, Grandpa, I definitely won’t run off..." Ge Dan nodded, "I understand, when I grow up, I’ll take good care of Grandpa..."
Comforted, Ge Lao Han smiled, and the two of them started down the main road towards a side path. If they passed through the small woods ahead, they would reach the village.
But just then, two fast horses came galloping from behind.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the grandfather and grandson quickly moved their cart to the side of the road. The road was narrow, and they thought to wait for the horses to pass before moving on, but the riders stopped when they reached them. The two burly men looked at Ge Dan, and after sizing him up, exchanged a glance and a nod, then suddenly grabbed the little boy.
Ge Dan cried out, but was knocked unconscious with a slap and lay limp on the back of a horse.
"What are you doing?" Ge Lao Han panicked, rushing to get his grandson back, "Put down my grandson..."
"Die, old fool." One of the men kicked Ge Lao Han, sending him flying, then turned the horses around and fled.
"Help... Help..." Ge Lao Han, nearly out of breath from the kick, still managed to struggle to his feet and shout for help.
