The place where Qin Yanran learned the guqin was located in the first house at the eastern end of Lihua Lane. 

It was Qin Canglan’s first time visiting, but it was clearly not the coachman’s. 

-Guqin 

The coachman skillfully stopped the carriage by the side.

From the courtyard came the soft, melodious sound of the guqin. 

Qin Canglan didn’t understand music. To him, the sound of playing the guqin and fluffing cotton was no different. 

He waited in the carriage for a while. 

The coachman asked if he wanted to go inside, but he declined. 

He was a rough man, and it wasn’t easy for his family to finally produce a talented young lady skilled in the arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. 

So he had to cherish her and be careful not to disturb his granddaughter’s guqin lesson.  

However, the music was indeed a bit hypnotic, and he started to feel sleepy, so he decided to get out and take a walk.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he noticed a faint rustling sound.  

The instinct of a veteran military man immediately made him alert. 

After years of living on the blade’s edge and making countless enemies, seven or eight out of ten people probably wanted him dead.

However…… 

Taking his Qin Canglan’s life wasn’t going to be so easy! 

Without a trace, his hand moved to the dagger at his waist, as he slowly approached the slightly swaying tree.  

If Su Xiaoxiao were here, she would have instantly recognized this tree. 

It was the same one from earlier that morning where she and Dahu were walking the little pony, and saw a man holding a guqin leaning against it, retching. 

And the rustling sound from the tree wasn’t from anyone else, it was from Dahu. 

Having already taken the little pony out for a stroll that morning, Dahu wasn’t keen on accompanying his younger brothers for a second round. So he quietly slipped away.  

He was very curious about the sound coming from that house, and coincidentally, he had just recently learned how to climb trees… 

Qin Canglan looked up at the swaying branches above his head and gave a cold snort, “Sneaky little rat! Who are you? Come out and prepare to meet your end!”

He was a tall and burly man. Even though he was getting older, his posture remained as straight and proud as a pine tree.

What an ordinary person couldn’t reach even by jumping, he effortlessly pushed aside the branches with a single hand.

Then, he saw a soft, innocent face of a child.

A round little face, big black eyes like grapes, eyebrows full of heroic spirit, a tiny nose glistening with sweat from climbing the tree, and a small mouth slightly open.

Due to recent tooth growth, he drooled a lot.

Dahu had been caught red handed. 

Hugging the tree trunk, he stared blankly at Qin Canglan, looking exactly like a round, chubby little panda. 

Qin Canglan froze for a moment. 

His grip loosened. 

Snap! 

The branch he was holding sprang back, launching Dahu into the air! 

With a flash of movement, Qin Canglan leaped up, and caught him mid-air. 

The boy had already curled into a tiny ball, arms wrapped protectively over his head. 

This child…… was really quick witted! 

Qin Canglan held Dahu and landed steadily on the ground. 

To Qin Canglan’s surprise, the child in his arms not only didn’t cry, but also looked at him with excitement. 

It was like saying: ‘Let’s do it again! One more time!’  

Qin Canglan suddenly smiled and said, “You’re quite brave.” 

Well, a child without courage wouldn’t have climbed such a tall tree in the first place. 

“Where do you live?” Qin Canglan asked. 

Dahu didn’t answer right away. 

He blinked, then looked down. 

Woow… 

So high up… 

Qin Canglan repeated, “Where’s your home? I will take you back.” 

Qin Canglan had a fierce appearance, the kind that could scare children into tears when he got serious. 

Dahu obediently pointed toward his house. 

Qin Canglan frowned, “You can’t talk?” 

Dahu blinked again. 

Qin Canglan had never been good with children, they were usually too terrified of him to speak at all.  

He didn’t ask any further. 

He bent down, intending to put Dahu on the ground. 

But Dahu’s little feet curled up, refusing to touch the ground no matter what. 

Qin Canglan was helpless, he had no choice but to scoop Dahu back up into his arms. 

How strange, was this child so frightened that he became silly? 

It was rare for any child to willingly let him hold them. 

Meanwhile, Su Cheng had taken the children to walk the pony. 

When he came home and found Dahu was missing, he was so terrified that he nearly had a heart attack, his hair stood on end just thinking about it!  

He would still break into a cold sweat whenever he recalled the time when the three children had run off into the mountains to hide.  

To make matters worse, Su Ergou had gone out to buy groceries, leaving no one at home to keep watch. 

He also couldn’t leave Erhu and Xiaohu alone to go search for Dahu……
