Chapter 18: The Truth Revealed

When people are desperate, they should face their own predicament, and if they try to escape, the final desperate will only turn into a slip into the abyss.

This time, I have Wang Qing, Mengli, Ah Huang, Lao Qintou, Chunsha and others to accompany me to face the difficulties, and I am lucky.

KTV completed the annual task volume at a rocket-like speed in three months, and now only the advertising fee of 3 million to 6 million that I promised to Liu Shao has not been recovered, but this is only a matter of time, if it goes well, it is enough to complete it within a month.

Wang Qing also earned a lot during this period, but she still didn't tell me what she was doing, and every time she mentioned this, she talked about him left and right. But thankfully, she never came back scarred like she did that night, and I didn't talk about it again.

Mengli has been staying at home during this period, following the video, learning to cook a good dish, and becoming the logistics chef of me and Wang Qing, as for Lao Wang, he doesn't eat less, but he often can't control his hands and mouth, so being beaten by Mengli is commonplace, and being beaten out of it is more than eating.

Ah Huang has been conscientiously following me to do things, this grandson is much smarter, he talks about people when he sees people, and he takes care of a lot of my work in KTV.

Chunsha returned to Sister Nina's side, and she also completed her own job very competently, Sister Nina said that in addition to speaking very strangely, she was really as I said in the interview: very good!

Liu Shao is the happiest and saddest contradictory combination. Happy is due to the prosperity of KTV business, led to the development of other industries of the hotel, this less than half a year, the hotel's revenue has far exceeded his expectations; sad is that Fang Cheng has woken up, as the doctor said, she lost her memory, she herself is very distressed, she is not willing to meet anyone, including Liu Shao, I have also wanted to visit Fang Cheng many times, but she turned away.

As for the Orchid Garden KTV, after our publicity, it has become a well-known activity club for the elderly, and the guests who come here are for the nostalgia of the 80s in their hearts, all our decoration and activity design are designed in the style of the 80's old Lizhou discotheque, and the service quality is the top in modern and contemporary times. Orchid KTV has now been upgraded to a membership system, and ordinary people can't get in if they want to.

During this time, there was one person I hadn't had time to visit, and that was Lao Qintou.

I promised him that if the plan passed, I would come and have two drinks with him, but because I was too busy, I always went back and forth between my home and Huanggu Mountain alone, and I forgot about the drink that I promised him.

Every time Mengli came back from Huanggu Mountain, she told me with red eyes: "Grandpa is dying." ”

Tonight, seeing that I was finally free, Mengli took me to Huanggu Mountain to visit Lao Qintou, and I was also gladly invited.

When I came to Huanggu Mountain, I saw an old Qin Tou who couldn't be thinner, and it was really as he said.

"Yang Shou will be exhausted".

Meng Li couldn't help but sobbed as soon as she saw Lao Qintou.

I didn't want to be sad when I saw Lao Qintou, so I carried two bottles of rice wine and said to Lao Qintou with a smile: "Old Qintou, I brought the wine." ”

Old Qin Tou said to himself: "The heavenly machine has really come true. ”

Meng Li poured a cup for each of us, and we sat on the floor and drank together.

I first expressed my apologies: "I'm sorry, old Qintou, I've been too busy lately, and I haven't had time to see you." ”

Old Qin Tou smiled, looking a lot more open-minded: "It's okay, everything has its own heavenly arrangement." ”

The three of us drank cup after cup, neither of us knew what to say, neither of us broke the silence, only the sound of dreams crying in the darkness.

Old Qin's hands trembled, and he fumbled and took out a pair of gloves from behind his back, handed them to me and said, "You take this." ”

I took it, and wow, what is this? Instantly my hand was bleeding from the gloves.

Although this glove looks the same as other gloves, the surface is composed of small needles of different lengths and fines, and the inside is the same.

"Old Qin Tou, what do you mean by this glove?"

Old Qin Tou coughed twice: "This pair is the ancestral treasure of the Qin Yue people, all the small needles that make up this glove are the thousand-year-old silver cold needles personally selected by the Qin Yue people. ”

It turned out that it was a treasure in my hand, and I felt my eyes glow: "Is this glove so amazing?"

"As we all know, our Qin Yue clan can only make finger techniques and nail techniques, in addition to this, the shape and magic techniques are beyond our lifetime, but it is with this pair of gloves that our Qin Yue people have taken their finger skills to the extreme, forming two sets of finger techniques of 'Extreme Heart' and 'Polar Shape'. Old Qin Tou began to cough again as he spoke.

"As long as you wear these gloves and stimulate all the acupuncture points on your hands in place, then with your 'natural body' qualifications, you should soon be able to master the finger skills of our Qin Yue clan. I originally wanted to teach you personally, but unfortunately God refused to give me this opportunity, and I can't wait to take back my old bones. ”

Old Qin Tou had good intentions, and he took out all the heirlooms of his clan to me, an outsider, and I really felt a little sorry in my heart.

I asked, "Old Qintou, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes," Old Qin Tou hurriedly said, "You carry me down the mountain, and I want to apologize to the two of them." ”

Now no matter where Old Qin Tou goes, I have to carry him on my back, because he has entrusted me with everything he has.

Old Qin Tou turned his head to Meng Li and said, "Li'er, do you remember the two tombs I took you down the mountain to worship when you were seven years old?"

Meng Li rolled her eyes: "Remember, it's in a poplar forest on the edge of the Lijiang River embankment." But haven't those two sets of graves been destroyed by my grandfather?"

Old Qin Tou nodded, meaning that the two tombs were in the location that Meng Li said just now, but he did not answer the question raised by Meng Li later.

So the three of us began to descend the mountain, I carried Lao Qintou on my back in front, and Mengli held Lao Qintou behind me to prevent him from falling.

In fact, I had never heard of a poplar forest on the side of the Lijiang River embankment, so I lowered my head, carried the old Qin's head, and walked down the embankment, and I didn't know how far I went, and finally we saw the poplar forest over there.

I don't know how long I searched, but I finally found two tombs that had been razed and two broken tombstones.

Old Qin Tou knelt on the ground when he got off my back, and Meng Li wanted to help him up, but he was pushed away by him.

Old Qin Tou began to tremble and said, "Li'er, in fact, your biological parents are buried here. ”

It turns out that the two graves are Mengli's father and mother?

Old Qin Tou burst into tears: "Li'er, in fact, your father is a member of the Bian Que clan, commonly known as Bian Feihu, your mother, that is, my daughter, she is the same as me, she is an inferior Qin Yue clan, commonly known as Qin Mengli." At that time, your father and mother ignored the opposition of the clansmen, insisted on crossing racial and class unions, and gave birth to a baby boy, which was opposed and shameful by many people for a while. Your father is the eldest son of the patriarch of the Bian Que clan at the time, and he is the hope of the future of the entire family, so the Bian Que clan worked together to lock him up, hoping that he could cut off contact with your mother. I didn't want your mother to go out and make trouble, so I confined her to the house and didn't allow her to go in or out. ”

A big drop of Mengli's tears "snapped", and a big drop fell: "And then?"

"But who can stop the power of love, in the end, in order to be able to finally become a family, the two of them became demons, and overnight, they killed all the clansmen of the Bian Que family, and your mother was so cruel that even her own son was poisoned and thrown into the river to drown. In the end, your mother felt the grace of my nurturing, and still did not attack me when her eyes were blood-red, leaving me alone to guard the wind and candle. ”

Hearing this, Mengli had stopped crying, and her eyes were full of despair. Maybe she never thought that her parents would be the murderers of the entire family.

Old Qin Tou continued: "Later, I vowed to avenge my clansmen, and after several years of recuperation, I chased them all the way to Lizhou, only to find that the two of them had committed suicide here and turned into two dry graves. There is a letter next to the grave, the letter was left by your mother to me, she said that they are ashamed of the clan, can only confess by suicide, the only reluctant is their newborn daughter, the letter also told me that they foster their daughter in a peasant family surnamed Han not far away, hoping that I can raise her as an adult, and the newborn girl is you, Li'er. But I won't let you have the same surname as the person who took my daughter, so I took the family that fostered you and gave you the same name as your mother, Mengli. ”

I walked over and hugged Mengli tightly, and she was already like falling into an ice cellar, her hands and feet were cold, and her whole body was lifeless.

"When you were seven years old, the seventh year after your mother's death, I wanted to tell you everything at the grave, but I never forgot the hatred of the extermination, even my own daughter, so I destroyed these two tombs that I had built. Since then, I haven't slept a single day, and every night my mother is constantly scolding me, yes, why did I destroy her tomb, after all, she is still my daughter, what is the difference between me doing this and her behavior of exterminating the clan?"

At this time, the old Qin Tou, who had been repenting, raised two fingers and shouted: "Daughter, my father has made amends to you." He poked two fingers into his temples and fell to the ground.

During the whole process, neither Mengli nor I reacted, and Lao Qintou ended himself with his last flashback, which can be regarded as an explanation for his dead daughter.

I put on the gloves that Old Qin Tou had given me, endured the severe pain caused by the gloves, and buried him next to her daughter's grave.

After that, I hugged Mengli, who had passed out from crying, and walked in the direction of home, and hugged her in my arms: "Don't be afraid, there is me!"
