16. Chapter 16

I stood there for a moment, my sadness had slowly calmed down, but the anger in my heart grew stronger! The reason why I am called a freak is that I am a person who is not full of joy and anger, so that no one who knows me will ever guess my mind!

Then, I didn't care about the puddle of slime on the ground, walked back to my father, and said in a deep voice, "Dad, call the police first, my cousin was killed by someone!"

Father just nodded, his face was blue, he didn't say a word, and the muscles of his cheeks were bulging!

"Don't worry, Kaiyuan is a forensic doctor, and he has worked as a criminal policeman before, we will definitely find a way to find that beast! Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What do you want to do? Do you want to chase them?" suddenly my father stared at me.

I took a deep breath and said slowly: "Dad, you can take care of this matter, deal with your uncle's affairs first, and I will deal with the rest! You should know your son!"

Knowing the son is not as good as the father, after listening to me, the father didn't say anything more, turned around and said to the surrounding villagers: "Thank you for your hard work, wait for the police to come over, please go back first!"

"Uncles and aunts, I am also a criminal policeman, in order not to destroy the scene, please avoid it!" Hong Kaiyuan glanced at the people around him, and there were really some police officers.

Seeing that my aunt was still sitting on the ground, I hurriedly walked over and helped her up, and was about to comfort her, but I saw that my mother had also arrived.

With red eyes and tears on her face, she grabbed my aunt by my hand and took her aside in a muffled voice.

Half an hour later, seven or eight policemen came to the town's police station, they first investigated the scene, made a record, and then said that they had filed a case and would try to catch the murderer as soon as possible, so that we could wait for news and so on, and then they left.

But I know that they couldn't find anything, and the main reason why they were allowed to come was to prove that my cousin's death was not an accident, but a murder!

As long as they confirm it, I will have some necessary weight in the future.

My father called the only four or five middle-aged people left in the village, transported my cousin's body home, and began to make arrangements for the funeral.

I didn't care about this at all, and took Wen Jing and Hong Kaiyuan back home.

I never dwell on the existing results, and I always think about how to solve the problems as soon as I encounter them, rather than dwelling on some meaningless things. Therefore, many times I seem very indifferent to many things, and my family says that I am a more ruthless person. It should have something to do with my personality.

And this is the original reason why I was called a freak

So the first thing I did was go and see my grandmother.

After tossing and turning for so long, I think her old man should already know what was going on by now.

So as soon as I entered the old house, I saw her sitting at the offering table in the hall in a daze!

In front of this offering table is the ancestral tablet of the Qi family, to be honest, I have never paid attention to these things, let alone cared about them.

When I entered, my grandmother looked up at me, and although there was sadness in her eyes, it was more of a different look, which I cannot describe, for I had never seen anyone else show such a look!

Before I could speak, my grandmother moved first.

I saw her put the cane in her hand on the ground, and the person stood up, only glanced at me, and then turned around and began to walk slowly to the inside, saying as she walked: "Yu, grandma is a little tired, you can do whatever you want!"

Then he sighed again and said slowly: "There is nothing perfect in this world, and since some things can be afforded, they should be able to let go!"

At this point, my grandmother paused, turned around, looked at me again, and continued: "Remember, whatever you do in the future, if you want to achieve something, you must first pay some price!

After saying that, she turned around again and walked into the inner room, leaving only a back for me!

Growing up like this, it was the first time I had seen my grandmother's majesty! I used to hear others say that she was the ancestor of the family, and she was a bit like She Taijun in the Yang Sect's female generals, but I had never seen her.

Because, in front of me, she will always be a kind grandmother, and I have never seen her other side except by hearing people.

Today, I finally truly understand the true weight of the three words "ancestor"!

I once heard my father say that my grandmother was a beautiful girl, and her mother's family was a very large family in the early years, but then it gradually declined for some reason, and it was already the twilight of her generation.

It is precisely for this reason that at the age of twelve, she was sent to my grandfather's house to be a child bride-in-law! Although she seldom revealed anything in front of her juniors, judging from her words and deeds, that kind of momentum and temperament could not be achieved by studying. It can be seen that she received a good education when she was young, which should be related to her mother's big family.

For as long as I can remember, my grandmother has always been a very capable woman in my heart, and she is neat and resolute. Although our family surnamed Qi no longer exists in name, in the hearts of everyone, the influence of my grandmother is quite great, and the people of the whole village have great respect for her! If it weren't for the various reasons that we had before, I think, who would care about these things in today's society?!

Grandmother is a typical person who has stepped from feudal society to modern society, and I can't say anything else, but judging from her ability to adapt or adapt to the atmosphere of a new era, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Although she was born in the early days of the Republic of China, the main social form at that time was still very feudal, and until now, all her thoughts have been changing all the time, and they have never been out of touch.

With these things alone, even I can't adapt so naturally!

Moreover, I have always felt that my grandmother was more avant-garde, open-minded and prescient.

First of all, she believes that knowledge is useful at all times, so she has always advocated that her family should make great efforts in education, my family was so poor that we couldn't see a fishy child for three months, my brother and I almost dropped out of school, and my parents had long wanted to give up.

But my grandmother strongly objected, saying that even if she smashed the pot and sold iron, she had to provide for the three of us to finish school, and my mother even quarreled with her about this, saying that if you can't even fill your stomach, why should you go to school?

The rest of the family was also against it, because my grandfather had not yet retired at that time, and my grandmother said that we had to go to school if we even paid for my grandfather's salary. You know, at that time, the family was very large, a total of more than a dozen people, and my grandfather's salary was not high!

Secondly, my grandmother was open-minded, persuaded people with reason, and was always extremely fair and never dealt with blindly. The people in the village, or the clansmen, no matter how big or small, will personally come to the door and ask the grandmother to decide, and even those young couples will ask the grandmother to come forward to coordinate!

Moreover, my grandmother was not only not superstitious, but also scoffed at the theories of ghosts and gods, saying that human beings, like all things in the world, were born in old age, sickness and death were natural, and there was no need to care about them.

I still remember very well that because my father contracted vasculitis when he was young, and the medical treatment was not developed at that time, it took a lot of time and money to be cured. Later, I didn't know that my grandmother (my grandfather's sister-in-law) invited a goddess from somewhere, saying that she wanted to exorcise ghosts for my father, and set up an altar at home, which caused a miasma.

At that time, because my grandmother went to my grandfather in Changsha and was not at home, it happened that she rushed back that day.

Since then, even some superstitious people in the village who believe in ghosts and gods do not dare to do superstitious things blatantly.

I've heard a lot of about it, but I haven't seen it in person, and I can't remember it as a child. Therefore, except for knowing that the people in the village secretly respected her as an ancestor behind their backs, they didn't know anything else.

Now, what her old man said just now revealed an invisible majesty, not only did he have something to say, but he could not refute it!

Since the day she handed me that meteorite iron, I have rarely seen her leave the old house. Usually, she likes me to chat with her the most, but after that, she doesn't seem to want to have too much contact with me, and the distance between grandparents and grandchildren seems to have widened a lot!

I hadn't felt this before, but after the catastrophe of the Forty-Nine Cities, I have realized that everything my grandmother did should have been deliberate!

As her eldest grandson, my grandmother was the most fond of me, and there were dozens of younger brothers and sisters in the family, except for my little sister who died of illness, none of them could surpass me.

When I was young, I was not only naughty, but also arrogant, and I often caused trouble outside, either fighting with others or destroying other people's things, in today's words, I was a complete bear child!

I was beaten by my father for a long time, but most of the time, I was able to escape under the protection of my grandmother, while the rest of my younger siblings were not so lucky!

But when I grew up, I didn't become what people imagined, and I did things better than ordinary people!

I already fully understood what my grandmother had just said, so all I had to do next was to let it go!

Since my grandmother's purpose in handing over the meteorite iron to me was to lure out some people, but she was unwilling to tell me the details, then she must have a good reason! At the same time, this also made me sure one thing, our Qi family definitely has a secret that no one knows, maybe because the time has not come, and my grandmother is unwilling to tell it!

My cousin's accident, I actually blame myself and feel guilty. After all, that Qin Hu was brought here by me!

When we met, my grandmother looked sad, but it was all expected, and she had clearly told me that no matter what I did, I had to pay a price, even my life, to achieve my goal!

Although I understood these truths, I could not accept in my heart that if I were to achieve something at the cost of my life, I would rather have nothing!

But my grandmother didn't seem to care about any of this, could it be that what she wanted to achieve was more important than her life??!!

In my heart, I can't think of anything in this world that is more important than human life!

What is it that can be paid for with life? Is it the so-called faith?!

But my grandmother's last sentence clearly told me: for that unstated goal, it was all worth it!!

Thinking about it, I suddenly had a shock: my grandmother tried all her best to attract Qin Hu!

At that moment, my mind began to diverge infinitely, and countless possibilities immediately came to mind!

Soon, I came to the conclusion that all of this should be related to the abilities that Qin Hu possessed!!

Thinking of this, I immediately made a decision, turned around and walked out of the old house.

Because they felt inconvenient, Hong Kaiyuan and Wen Jing had been waiting at the door.

When they saw me come out, they all looked at me with a look of expectation.

"Don't think about it, grandma didn't say anything!" I sighed and headed home.
