Chapter 190: Wind and Wind (5)
Gao Zuyi's tone was determined, as if it were taken for granted.
"Grandpa, how do you know?"
Although I was terrified in my heart, I still asked Gao Zuyi the question I wanted to ask the most at this moment.
"For he is the descendant of the diggers. β
It was not Gao Zuyi who answered this sentence, nor Gou Tang and them, but Qin Yue.
After hearing Qin Yue's words, my eyes widened.
"It seems that you little doll is not stupid. β
Under my wide-eyed eyes, Gao Zuyi not only refutted but also directly and generously admitted.
"Your father's skills were taught by the old man, and your little doll should call me a master. β
Master?
Hearing Gao Zuyi's words, I stood up from the kang in a swoop.
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that my dad would have a master.
"Only me and your father know about this, if I can't wait for you to come looking for me, my old man will have to take this matter into the coffin. β
"You entered the spiritual palace of that master by mistake, and you also destroyed the yin and yang pattern in this wind and earth vein, this disaster is your fault, and you should solve it. β
Gao Zuyi stood up from his stool and walked in front of me.
"About your dad's deathβ"
Standing in front of me, Gao Zuyi stared at me with his cloudy eyes.
"This should have been done by me, and your dad took my place. β
Although Gao Zuyi didn't say it explicitly, I already understood it.
My dad didn't throw himself into the river because he couldn't withstand the blow because he killed two wives in a row, and the real cause of his death was because of this Gao Zuyi.
I clenched my fists and my eyes were starting to get bloodshot.
My dad could have not died, all because of this centenarian standing in front of me.
And between his words, I didn't hear even a trace of heartache.
"Little doll, don't get excited, let the old man finish my words. β
It doesn't matter if you don't have the slightest guilt, and if you don't feel heartache, this Gao Zuyi even asked me with a straight face.
Didn't he have the slightest remorse, didn't he feel the slightest bit sorry for my father's death?
A hand rested lightly on my shoulder and moved downward, clenching my clenched fist.
It was Qin Yue, although Qin Yue didn't say a word to me, but it calmed down my anger.
"Say it!"
I looked at Gao Zuyi and said in an indifferent tone.
As soon as Gao Zu walked out of the old kiln, although I was reluctant in my heart, I still followed Gao Zuyi out of this old kiln.
Standing in front of the grinding disc, Gao Zuyi began to grind again.
In the grinding, Gao Zuyi said softly: "I met your father, it was more than forty years ago. β
More than 40 years ago? My dad must have been a kid at that time.
And this Gao Zuyi should have been fifty-seven or eighteen years old at that time.
"I was chased by a group of people and fled into the woods of a large reservoir with serious injuries, and it was at that time that I met Chengzhu. β
"If Xiao Chengzhu hadn't saved me, I would have died more than forty years ago. Xiao Chengzhu secretly hid me in this old kiln, and would come to bring me food every day. β
Stopping the movement in his hand, Gao Zuyi slowly raised his cloudy eyes.
This action seems to be reminiscing about the past, and it seems to be reminiscing about the past.
"I remember that Xiao Chengzhu was very naughty at that time, and this little baby seemed to fight with the people in the mine every day. β
"That little face is blue and swollen, obviously very painful, this little baby is always smiling at me every time he sees me, that kind of smile, very simple, very pure, like spring water in the mountains. β
As soon as Gao Zu said this, his face covered with old folds actually smiled, and this smile was terrifying, like the bark of a tree that was about to fall off was lying on the trunk of the tree and did not want to fall.
"For more than half a year, Xiao Chengzhu has been serving me for more than half a year, and since the injuries on my body have healed, there is no need for me to continue to stay here. β
"When Xiao Chengzhu came back, I had already packed up and saluted, and he knew that I was leaving, so he asked me to wait for him. β
Speaking of this, Gao Zuyi suddenly stopped talking.
A tear fell down Gao Zu's wrinkled face and fell to the ground.
The centenarian was in tears.
"If I had been ruthless and walked away at that time, then these things would not have happened, but there are no ifs in this world. β
"I waited for Xiao Chengzhu, he served me for more than half a year, I think I should also give Xiao Chengzhu a gift. β
Xiao Chengzhu came back, ran up to me in one go, and took out a handful of crumpled food stamps from his torn trouser pocket. β
"Stuffing the food stamps into my hand, Xiao Chengzhu smiled and said to me, he said: Grandpa, this is my mother's food stamps, and my grandfather uses them on the road. β
At the moment when Gao Zuyi learned to say this sentence in a child's tone, Gao Zuyi was already in tears.
"Do you know how precious the food stamps were at that time? After seeing the crumpled food stamps in Xiao Chengzhu's hand, I made a decision in my heart. β
I put down the package in my hand, and then hugged Xiao Chengzhu, and I said to Xiao Chengzhu: I'm not leaving, I'm staying. β
"Since then, I have started to teach Xiao Chengzhu, I don't want Xiao Chengzhu to become a person like me in the future, so I just taught Xiao Chengzhu some self-defense skills and some skills to make a shovel. β
"And with my contact with Xiao Chengzhu, I gradually discovered a strange numerology line on Xiao Chengzhu's body. β
"Not only Xiao Chengzhu, but all the people in this mine, I found something strange in all of them. β
Hearing this last sentence of Gao Zuyi, each of us was attracted by Gao Zuyi's words.
"This is a mine, and the people who live here have made a living from the mines, so I want to go down to the mines. β
"With the help of Xiao Chengzhu, I followed the large army into the mine, and that time, I stayed underground for three days, and for three whole days, I walked through all the tunnels that had been mined. β
"Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and I finally found some clues in this well. Following this clue all the way down, I found the Tang tomb you strayed into, and found many large and small tombs, and the underground of this mine is completely a world of tombs, an underground world that even shocked me. β
"Nothing in this world can compete with time, not even the tombs of the golden stone. The ancients liked to pour mercury into their tombs, and those tombs that were buried deep in the ground and destroyed by time, the tombs were destroyed, and the mercury galloped like a wild horse off the bridle in this underground world.
As soon as Gao Zu uttered these appalling words, he fixed his cloudy eyes on me.
"Little baby, you may not know, there is an earth dragon that runs through the southeast and northwest under the ground of Feng'an, if this earth dragon wakes up from a deep sleep of 10,000 years, then Feng'an County will disappear forever, and the people here, the buildings here, and the mountains here will all be swallowed by this earth dragon. β
"Earth Dragon?"
Hearing Gao Zuyi's words, I was stunned.
"Well, there are a series of volcanoes sleeping beneath this windy underground, and if they erupt, life will evaporate in an instant. β
"There is only one thing your father has done in this half of his life, and that is to use the underground well as a pretext to silently repair this underground world that has begun to crumble. β
"I was poisoned, your father came to repair, your father was poisoned, he didn't want you to know, he didn't want you to bear his fate, so he chose to throw himself into the river. Even if he didn't throw himself into the river at that time, his body was already powerless. β
As soon as Gao Zu said this, he didn't say any more.
I'm trying to digest these words of Gao Zuyi, and I'm trying to remember the bits and pieces of being with my dad.
A tear slid down my cheek, and it turned out that my dad was-
My dad has been silently guarding this beautiful Feng'an County in his own way.
"What about the human skin and the bronze key?"
"I put it in the official boots, this child is the son of Xiao Chengzhu, I am dead, I can only leave it to Xiao Chengzhu's son. β
