Chapter 352 Everyone Hears Gunpowder for the First Time
Everyone in the Gu family, also affected by the grandfather and grandson, began to feel a little uneasy.
However, the two were still thinking about the decision in their hearts and could not care about the emotions of others for the moment.
In this subtle atmosphere, Duan Shuhuan finally recovered.
After hearing the news, everyone didn't care about anything else. They all came to Duan Shuhuan's room, asked him about it, and then got down to business.
"Shuhuan, what were you doing in the woods that day? Why did you make such a big noise? You almost lost your life! Do you know how worried your grandma and your mother are about you?" Grandpa Gu asked with concern.
Upon hearing this, the two ladies of the Duan family couldn't stop their tears from flowing.
Duan Shuhuan's eyes were red with heartache.
At this point, he knew he could no longer hide it. "I'm sorry for making you worry! In fact, in the past few years, whenever I had time, I would secretly develop gunpowder in the mountains. This is the first success. I tried to ignite it once, but I didn't expect the power to be too great. I didn't dodge it..."
Gu Fu's guess was confirmed. Mr. Gu and Gu Fu, who knew the inside story, didn't know what to say for a moment.
When everyone heard the word "gunpowder" for the first time, they were confused and asked, "What is gunpowder?"
"This is a new type of weapon. It has huge energy and infinite power. It can be used to attack cities and defend against enemies. After being ignited, it will make a loud noise and burst into flames. As long as the amount is enough, even the strongest city can be reduced to ruins in an instant." Gu Fu briefly explained to everyone.
"Ah..." Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock and disbelief.
Song Renjing even felt his breathing stagnate, and then his heart began to beat wildly, and a thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on his palms. Countless scenes of Da Xia possessing gunpowder emerged involuntarily in his mind.
After Old Madam Duan reacted, she no longer cared that the person in front of her was her grandson, whom she loved so much that he looked like the apple of her eye, and slapped Duan Shuhuan twice on the back.
While beating him, he cried and said, "Why did you touch such a dangerous thing? It can blow up a city. Are you stronger than the city?"
After saying that, I don’t know if she was heartbroken or angry, she finally let go of my hand, covered her mouth and started crying.
Mrs. Duan saw her mother-in-law beating her son, she just cried and did not try to persuade her. No one understood the fear in her heart. She already had no husband, and if her son died too, what was the point of her living?
Seeing her mother-in-law was sad, she immediately went to support her mother-in-law and said to her son with pleading eyes: "Grandma and mother only have you, can you please not touch that damn gunpowder?"
When Duan Shuhuan saw his mother and grandmother in such a state, his heart felt as if it was torn apart.
But after years of research, he had already succeeded, so how could he give up now? Seeing that there was hope of revenge, he could not give up.
He could only hold back the heartache and the tears that were about to burst out, and shook his head firmly and said, "Please forgive my unfilial behavior, I cannot agree to your request. The development of gunpowder has been successful, and it can be used after a little more time is spent on optimization. I must avenge, revenge for my father! Revenge for the people in Weng County who died tragically!"
"You are only sixteen years old, why do you carry all the hatred on your shoulders! You are the last hope of my Duan family! How can you just ignore you?" Old Madam Duan felt like her heart was broken.
I began to regret urging my grandson to study. If he still looked like a playboy like he did in Weng County, or if he didn't study and make progress, then even if he had hatred and revenge in his heart, he would have to suppress it in his heart and would not be able to realize it.
In that way, we wouldn't be in the danger we are in now.
"Grandma, please stop! If you are still able to continue, can you wait until I die and you can't see anymore before you do it?" Old Madam Duan cried bitterly.
"Mother, if you want to go, your daughter-in-law will go with you." Mrs. Duan cried.
Several sisters-in-law and wives of the Gu family hurried forward to persuade the two men and Duan Shuhuan.
Duan Shuhuan also quickly spoke up to assure them, "Grandma, mother, please don't do this. I know what I am doing and I love myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done this for the first time in five or six years. Please believe me, I won't get into trouble again."
However, after learning about the horror and power of gunpowder and seeing the injuries of their own children, the two ladies of the Duan family's fear of these unknown things and the fear of losing their only grandson/son outweighed everything else, and they began to use the method of crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang themselves to persuade their children.
Duan Shuhuan also started a hunger strike to protest. The situation remained at a stalemate.
On the third day of the stalemate between the two sides, Gu Fu and Old Man Gu had another secret conversation.
After the grandfather and grandson finished their conversation, they called together the rest of the Gu family except the two new daughters-in-law and Song Renjing for a meeting. Even those who were not in the valley participated in the meeting via video.
After the meeting, the grandparents went to find Duan Shuhuan.
Gu Fu opened the food box he brought and placed the porridge and side dishes in front of Duan Shuhuan, "Brother Shuhuan, have something to eat."
"Grandpa Gu, Sister Fuer, are you here to persuade me to give up?" Duan Shuhuan asked weakly.
Gu Fu: "We don't want to persuade you, but no matter what the result is, your health is the capital of research. If you ruin your health, even if you force Grandma Duan and Auntie to agree, the result will not be worth it."
Old Master Gu: "Yes, come and eat as much as you can. Your aunt and the others are taking care of your grandmother and mother, so you don't have to worry."
Duan Shuhuan remained indifferent.
"Ah! In fact, your mother and your grandmother were too afraid of losing you. Just think about it, you just clicked one, and the sound shocked our entire valley. What a terrible explosive power.
No matter how confident you are, accidents are bound to happen. How can they not worry? You are their only hope.
Those people are not only your enemies, who in our valley doesn't have a grudge against them? If everyone is obsessed with revenge and ignores everything else, then your father and the relatives of the people in the valley will have sacrificed their lives in vain."
"Grandpa Gu, I understand the principle, but I have already successfully developed it. I just need to control the ratio and the time of blasting. I have already seen the hope of revenge, and the enemy is right on the grassland. With such a favorable time, place and people, how can I give up?" Duan Shuhuan said firmly.
"Why are you so stubborn, kid? You are still so young, why do you want to put the burden of revenge on yourself?" Mr. Gu said helplessly.
“Grandpa Gu, you don’t understand.
At that time, everyone was running for their lives. My father and his men were fighting on the ground. In the tunnel, my grandmother, who was so old, was still holding on, directing the people to evacuate and encouraging everyone not to fall down.
My mother was so weak, but she was strong enough to help. And I was just a huge burden, I couldn't stand it very long, and I had to be carried by the servants when I ran away!
