Volume 1 The Entry of the Demons Chapter 1 The Old Man's Notepad

Next Chapter

After receiving the notice that the old man was seriously ill, I immediately booked the fastest ticket to go back. After learning about the situation on the phone, I calmed down a little. But when I entered the ward, I saw the old man who had always been strong leaning weakly on the bed, and I couldn't help but feel pinched. I walked to the bed in two steps and half-crouched in front of him so that he could see my face without much difficulty.

Probably sensing something, the old man moved slightly, his brows furrowed, and then slowly turned his head, his eyes trying to open a thin slit. I think he saw me because he slowly raised his right hand towards me. I quickly grasped that this situation and this scene are just like the life and death parting seen countless on the screen.

As soon as my nose was sore, tears were about to well-up in my eyes. Quickly took a breath and forced it back. The old man's right hand slammed into the force, almost pushing me, "Stand away, are you stepping on my oxygen pipe?" ”

I jumped out of the way, shouting "Yaa Then I saw my wife come in with a plate of washed grapes and beckoned the old man to eat, and the nurse opened the curtain and reprimanded, "Are you smoking again?" The old man picked the oxygen mask and said with a shy smile while eating grapes: "No, no, how can it be, it must have been smoked by the old king in the next room, and the flavor is stringed..."

I turned back to my father and whispered, "Look at the old man's complexion, he doesn't look like he's seriously ill." My father glanced at me disdainfully, and said that he was not seriously ill. I shook my phone, "Then you told me that he was seriously ill and in a hurry, but I didn't see that I had even taken care of my emotions just now." "Don't you say he's seriously ill, can you come back?" My dad shook a cigarette out of the cigarette case and handed it to me, and I followed him out of the room.

"No, then you can't disrespect the objective facts, you see that the old man's complexion is stronger than mine. My company has been working hard for more than half a month and just closed a big business, and tonight's celebration will let you fool back. Dad took out a disposable lighter and lit it with a snap, and I saw the words "XX Nightclub" printed on the lighter.

He spat out a cigarette and then said: "Pull it down, just your little broken studio, and celebrate, a small table in Shaxian County is not satisfied." It's not that I have to fool you, to be honest, the old man has been lying here for a week, and the first two days were really dangerous, and he didn't dare to tell you, thanks to these two days. ”

I was a little sneering, "What's the matter, isn't it usually tough?", "It can be said that no matter how tough you are, you can't stand more than 70 people, and you still wander around the mountains every day, how can you be so addicted." "I can hear that my Lao Tzu is not in a very good mood now, I guess I wanted to say this a long time ago, but I didn't dare two days ago, and now I saw that he was relieved, so he complained to me.

"Then what does the doctor say now?", "It's not a big problem, it's just that the old man wants me to call you back, I think he's almost better now anyway, and it's not good to hide it from you." I took a puff of cigarette and nodded, puffing down the lighter in my hand with "XX Convenience Store" printed on it.

"Come on, when you come back, accompany the old man, there is still something in my company, and your mother has to go back to get food." He extinguished his cigarette and went into the room to say a few words before leaving. After a while, my mother also came out and said that she had brought food at noon, and let me watch it here.

I agreed and went into the ward, and saw that the old man ate the grapes there without spitting out the skins. He beckoned to me, "All gone?" I nodded, and complained, "Master, I didn't say you, a lot of people are too old to wander around the mountains alone." I've heard it all, if someone hadn't touched it and sent it down, what would you have let us do?" the old man snorted, obviously knowing that he had caused trouble for the family and made everyone worried.

"Alas, I'm getting older, I always miss your milk, and I guess I still can't rest assured of her. "I can't listen to this, mainly because when I was a child, my grandmother loved me a lot, and I couldn't mention it after so many years, and my nose was sore when I mentioned it. Second, the old man remembered his deceased wife in front of me, an older single young man, and his words were numb, which was very suspicious of dog abuse.

"Don't talk about this, you, it's good, good health and longevity, and the whole family is happy. "I pulled a bottle out of the crate of mineral water under my bed. Ouch, I went, and I saw a bottle of unknown liquid that was yellow and black, and I took a closer look at the cigarette butts soaked in it, which is a big supplement.

I looked at the old man, who nervously looked at the nurse who had just left the house and waved at me and said, "Leave it down." "I slipped the makeshift ashtray back into the box, and suddenly I lost the urge to drink water, and I felt nauseous in my stomach.

The old man looked at me and said, "Xiao Mu, you have to have twenty-five or six, right?", I looked up at him and replied expressionlessly: "Twenty-eight." "Don't blame the old man, no one in the family can remember my age accurately, and I myself am occasionally vague.

Every time my mother mentions my age to others, I can wonder if I am born to her, and today I told the aunt of the Wang family to pay attention to whether there is a good girl, my son is twenty-seven. Tomorrow, I see that what Aunt Li said may be twenty-six. The main reason for saying it is relatively small is that I don't look old, of course, I guess she is half-guessing.

"Twenty-eight, it's time to find a companion. The old man chewed the grapes and said to himself, if I don't pick up his stubble at this time, it's nothing more than a disguised marriage routine like getting old and it's time to find a partner. My door is very clear, and at this time I must follow their words and not choke the fire.

I deliberately teased him: "I knew a girl before, who was a year older than me." The old man was stunned for a moment, mainly because he didn't expect me to pick up stubble. "It's good to be one year older, you're afraid of something when you're one year older, and one year older is considered the same age. "What if you're two years older?"

The old man looked at me, and pinched his fingers there in a fake way, "Two years older, it's a match, it's okay." I nodded, "I'm actually three years older." I obviously saw the corner of the old man's mouth twitch, then pinched a grape and said, "It's okay for a female junior to hold gold bricks." ”

Well, my goals have broadened a lot. The old man understood that I was teasing him, and pointed his finger at me, but said nothing. The two of them were silent for a while, and the old man asked me, "I really didn't look at the right eye?" I said pull it down, old man, I just have it, and people have to be willing, you should buy vegetables. The old man can't be regarded as too stubborn, but he can still listen to the truth.

"I'm just afraid that you'll be delayed. "The old man looked at me, in all fairness, very kindly, and a little kind.

The old man suddenly patted his head, "I remembered, I remembered that there was something to find you back." I was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?" The old man went to pull the coat hanging on the side, and I hurriedly got up and helped him take it off, and he rummaged through his clothes as if he was looking for something, and after a while he found a small notebook in his pocket.

This is a very old notepad, and the years are not short, and I don't say that I can be a little older than my age. It's the kind of palm-sized notepad, covered with red plastic skin, with the words "work diary" printed on the plastic sheet, and a five-pointed star on it. At first glance, it was issued by the old agency.

I don't know what the old man did when he was young, but he said he was a soldier. Anyway, when I had an impression of him, the old man was in his fifties, and he was doing the work of a forest ranger at that time, and he had nothing to do to patrol the mountains and get paid, but he was also idle.

I saw the old man rubbing the old notepad, the plastic skin was shiny, well plated, and wrapped in a layer of pulp. The corners are aged and cracked, and they are glued with the same kind of pharmaceutical tape as before. Don't talk about this book.,It's this kind of medical tape I haven't seen in a few years.。 The old man took it and talked to himself for a while, and I didn't understand what he said, and then he handed me the notebook, "Take a look." ”

I'm a little flattered.,I've seen this book.,The little old man is really well dressed.,There's this book in the pocket of your chest.,There's a hero 616.,It's like a baby all day long.。 Later, his 616 was really old, and the barrel of celluloid's pen was bursting, and he was also wrapped in medical tape. It wasn't until my grandmother left that she was asked to take it. I haven't seen this book since then.,I thought it burned with the pen at the time.。

Carefully took the book.,Really,I'm very careful.,The main thing is that I'm afraid that I'll break it with a force.,I don't know if the old man can bear it when he's old.。 I asked the old man with a shy face, "What is it written?" The old man waved his hand, "Good thing." "I'm just joking, I opened the book lightly and looked at it, and the title page read: Give Zonghan, take the class struggle as the key link, and defeat all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods.

The payment is my grandmother's name, I smiled ambiguously at the old man, he was a little uneasy, "Look back." "I flipped through the inside, it was basically a diary genre, and the content recorded was both work and life, and the iron painting and silver hook were concise and to the point. After turning a few pages, a large blank space suddenly appeared, only two lines:

"Today, I borrowed 20 catties of rice from Li Zonghan and used it immediately. "The signature is Han Job.

I was confused, and suddenly looked up and said, "The Red Army borrowed grain from our family?" This kind of thing is not uncommon, I think that when the Red Army uncle climbed the snowy mountains and crossed the grassland, he borrowed food from the villagers. Of course, it is not easy to go around later, and it is not easy to cash in. But if you can see this kind of thing now, how much money can be repaid, it will be of great significance, and it will definitely be able to achieve a lot of benefits.

The old man glared at me with disdain, "How many years have I been liberated when I participated in the revolution. I said a few times, but I forgot about it.

I flipped through it again, some of them were IOUs, and some of them were diary-like things, so I didn't look closely, and there were names and addresses and phone numbers at the back. The emotional old man uses this book in multiple dimensions, with ledgers, diaries, and address books.
