"You'll come back now when you're free, we have good air and good water. Xiao Xu told me about your wife, you have to go for treatment if you are sick, you have money, she is young, she can always be cured. You look quite young now, but you also have to pay attention to your body, after all, you are in your forties. Remember, Lingqian Village will always be your home. ”

Putting down the phone, I was somewhat moved. Lao Liu is actually not very old, and he is only in his sixties this year. He took good care of me when I was a child, and he has been the village party secretary for decades, and he has always regarded taking care of me as the top priority in the village. Now that he knew that I was living alone again, he called to comfort me.

After Miao Min left, I fell into the life of Shunhe Street and the office at two o'clock and one line, except for the fixed dinner with Lao Fan and Xiao Xu Xiaoling every weekend, there was almost no other communication.

Wang Keke made a phone call and said that she would pay attention to me, but I knew that she was spying on me through Lao Fan's daughter-in-law, and she would show up whenever I had anything. But what can I do? She should continue to be her Queen of Lancoco.

Qiao Zhijun sent me a video, saying that Secretary Chen accompanied God into the passage, and there was no more news, and before leaving, he said that he would ask me to preside over the overall situation. Now everything is normal in Hira Valley under the leadership of Qiao Zhijun, and the annual income will be directly transferred to my account according to Chen Cuihua's shares. I couldn't help but feel dizzy as I looked at the long list of industries on the list, no wonder Chen Cuihua could build an electronic collider, which is comparable to the assets of a small country.

Before the National Day, Lao Liu called again and said that the repaired houses had been completed, and if there was nothing to do on the National Day, he could go back to live for two days.

I asked Xiao Xu, he and Xiao Ling were going to travel, Lao Fan's daughter came back from abroad and brought a foreign son-in-law, and she definitely couldn't go. I thought about it all night and decided to go on my own.

When I set off in the morning, before the sun set, I was already sitting in the old house drinking tea with Lao Liu.

On the table, there is still the old tea set that is some years old, and the sand on the small red clay stove is bubbling with steam.

I looked at the sand jump on the stove and asked, "Let's be in the southwest, how did my grandfather get a set of tea sets for kung fu tea?"

Lao Liu said: "I also asked him about this, and he said that it was sent by a comrade-in-arms when he was a soldier, and that comrade-in-arms was from Chaoshan." ”

I smiled and said, "But you can't give it away for making tea, you have to stay over there." ”

Lao Liu laughed and said: "Your grandfather has been everywhere he has traveled from south to north, you see the things in your attic and cellar, there are everywhere, when we helped your grandfather move back, we used three ox carts and pulled two trips." ”

As soon as he said it, I remembered, there are still a few big boxes of things in the attic of my house, I went up to hide and seek when I was a child, opened it and saw that it was all cups and pans, and I was spanked by my grandfather for this, saying that those are all precious things and cannot be moved. But I really never went down to the cellar, and it was dark and rumbling, and even if I went to middle school later, I never thought about going down.

After Lao Liu left, I went down to the cellar with a flashlight, only to find that this was a cellar, which was a large basement, at least sixty square meters.

The flashlight shone on the wall, and I saw a section of light wire switch, pulled, but it didn't come on. I looked down the ceiling, and sure enough, there was a lamp tray hanging from the ceiling, and I went over to see that the old incandescent bulb was broken.

Walking down the stairs back to the hall, I turned off the energy-saving lamp of the street lamp outside the door, went back to the basement and set it up.

There were five or six old-fashioned camphor boxes against the wall in the basement, and I walked over and opened one, which were all military uniforms, military boots, military kettles, etc., and I also found a military telescope and an old-fashioned bayonet, the bayonet was in a leather scabbard, and when it was pulled out, it was bright and dazzling in the light, and it seemed that they were all souvenirs of my grandfather's military career.

Opening the second box, there were some notebooks and books, as well as a small leather case and a briefcase, and I picked up the small box, dead and dead. I put the small box on the ground, opened it and saw that there was a box full of military merit medals, I took them out and put them on the ground one by one, and looked at them one by one, there were three first-class merits, six first-class merits, and I didn't bother to count the second-class and third-class ones.

Putting the medals back in the box, I opened my briefcase again, and the thick stack of awards inside.

I took out the certificate and looked at it, what is the first-class merit of the attack and defense of the city of so-and-so, the second-class merit of the attack and defense of the hill of so-and-so, one of which reads the special merit of the defensive battle of Longshou Mountain, I looked at the time very strangely, it should be before my grandfather returned here.

I put the certificate aside, flipped through the notebook, and sure enough, it was all diaries, and I took out the two copies of my grandfather after he arrived here according to the time, and put them aside with the certificate.

I opened the third box, there were some gold and silver utensils in it, as well as two yellowed ancient books, I picked up one, the cover said "Longshou Mountain Battle Records in the Year of Wuxu", and the other was "Longshou Mountain Immortal Miscellaneous Records", I put a few ancient books together with the military merit medal diary just now.

The fourth and fifth boxes contained some clothes and bedding, and the last box contained two photo albums. I took out the photo album, turned the first page and saw a young version of the grandmother wearing a plain cheongsam holding a chubby little milk baby, this little milk baby was exactly the same as the little Xu Xu when I was a child, looking at me with a smile, I got excited, turned back, and sure enough, I saw a young man who looked like me in his twenties, wearing a military uniform, standing behind my grandparents.

Carry the collected items back to the hall. Sitting at the desk, I opened the photo album and the more I flipped back, the more excited I became. Sure enough, a few pages later in the album, I saw photos of my parents.

Two young men in military uniforms, the man was almost exactly the same as I had been in my twenties, and the woman was a dignified-looking female officer with black-rimmed glasses and a pen in her jacket pocket.

I put down the album, picked up the notebook and opened it, and my grandfather's powerful font jumped into my eyes. It's all about singing and praising hometown, as well as missing grandma and son. I turned to a certain page, and the word "enchantment" appeared, and I was shocked and read it carefully.

"On November 13th, the barrier was unstable, Xiao Liu and I joined forces to suppress it without success, and Donglai rushed to bring a battalion of soldiers, but it still couldn't prevent several strange beasts and hundreds of strange soldiers from descending. After the bloody battle, Donglai was seriously wounded, and a battalion of soldiers was wiped out. But it is good to form a confrontation trend. ”

"On November 14, reinforcements arrived, and the superiors sent heavy artillery to cover the shooting, and none of the alien beasts and soldiers escaped. The barrier is becoming more and more unstable. Some villagers fled back, and Donglai used amnesia, but the effect was not good. ”

On November 15, Xiaoling and two hundred special combat team members arrived and brought new equipment. Our army entered the other world, killing two out of thirty strangers, and the enemy lost more than 5,000 soldiers. Our army lost more than 3,000 soldiers. ”

"On November 16, the beast attacked its master, and the enemy was in chaos. Our army was about to take advantage of the situation to march to capture Longshou City, when the superior suddenly ordered a retreat, and our army retreated to Lingqian Pass, only to know that the superior had decided to negotiate. It is rumored that the right of No. 1 has been deprived, and the morale of our army is fluctuating. ”

"On November 17, Liu Shuai brought an order to me and ordered me to follow and participate in the negotiations. Liu Shuai was sedentary and silent for a long time when he heard this. ”

"On November 18th, the Inhuman commander arrived. It is said that the two worlds are one, and as long as the other world opens up the way to the immortals, they will retreat, not enslave the human world. Liu Shuai said with a smile that maintaining the status quo is the bottom line, the fairy world is not the fairy world, and there are immortals in the human world. The two sides parted unhappily. ”

"On November 19th, the enemy army increased its troops, our army retreated, after Donglai and Xiaoling led the team to break, the army retreated to our boundary, Donglai and Xiaoling gathered the strength of all the team members to close the enchantment, I and Xiao Liu were not in a hurry to save him, only to protect Liu Shuai after retreating and join forces to suppress the enchantment. ”

"On November 20, the superiors ordered Xiao Liu to stay here for a long time to suppress the enchantment. I told my superiors that I was a local and that it was time to do something for my father and fellow villagers, but my superiors appointed Xiao Liu as the village party secretary. ”

Seeing this, I was shocked. It turns out that Lao Liu is the "Xiao Liu" in the diary, he knows everything, but he has deceived me for so many years.

calmed down, but the diary in the back was very sloppy, and when the campaign began, grandpa didn't keep a diary anymore.

Putting down the diary, I picked up "The Battle of Longshou Mountain" and flipped it up, and it was far less understandable than my grandfather's half-written diary.

Another "Miscellaneous Notes on Immortal Arts in Longshou Mountain", but it is a book about immortal arts, and the illustrations are all some meridian gossip, I flipped through it, and after I put the book on the table and thought about it, there was still no answer.

As soon as it dawned the next day, I went to look for Lao Liu.

Walking into his spacious Hui sect courtyard, he was feeding the starlings. When the starling saw me, he jumped in the cage and shouted: Lao Xu is here, Lao Xu is here, he is not happy.

Lao Liu turned around, I ignored him, went straight to the bamboo recliner in front of the porch and lay down, and threw the diary in my hand on the stone table with a bang.

He walked over and flipped through it, laughed "hey, hey, hey", and said to me, "You found it yourself, not me, and it's not my violation of discipline." ”

I laughed twice and said, "You're from Chaoshan, right?"

He sat down, took out a cigarette and gave it to me, took one to his mouth, lit it, and took a puff. Then he said: "I joined the army as a teenager, special recruitment." followed your grandfather from the Chaoshan offensive and defensive battles, and fought more than a dozen battles, except for the years when he went to Vietnam, the rest were fighting against the other world. ”

I lit my cigarette, took a silent puff, and said, "What is the Otherworld?"

"Another space, the common people call it the fairy world. Lao Liu stood up and went to the table in the corridor to pour tea.

I said, "You mean the exact same space as us?"

Lao Liu poured two cups of tea, put one in front of me, and said, "It's not parallel time and space." ”

I laughed, thought for a moment, and asked, "You know my parents well?"

Lao Liu sat down with the teacup, lifted the lid of the teacup and blew it, and said, "The clouds and mountains are hidden, the old leader sent it to me, you can taste it." ”

Seeing that I didn't speak and stared at him, he put down the teacup and said helplessly: "Your father is from the Military Science and Technology Research Institute, and your mother is from the General Assembly, both of whom are engaged in scientific research. I don't know them well. ”

I nodded, our family is all from the army, no wonder Xiao Xu can't find out.

"What is the situation in Longshou Mountain? Do you know what I want to ask?" I said and took a sip of tea, the aroma of tea seeped through my teeth and cheeks, invaded my heart and spleen, and the aftertaste lingered, which made me feel refreshed, it was really good tea.

"That's a long story. Lao Liu looked at the green garden and couldn't help but feel a little stupid.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "People are old, and their memory is not as good as before. ”
