Chapter 56: Cause and Effect (2)
Old man Xiao woke up, but refused to cooperate with the police officers' investigation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Facing the news brought by Senior Sister Qiu Lili, Du Xiaoxiao was not surprised at all, that old man Xiao was already a strange person who was incomprehensible, otherwise he would not have done such a thing to harm others and himself.
Du Xiaoxiao hadn't heard any news of Xiao Zhan since he woke up, and asked a little nervously and a little scared: "What happened to Xiao Zhan?" ā
"Xiao Zhan?" Qiu Lili looked at Du Xiaoxiao suspiciously, not knowing who she was talking about.
"It's Old Man Xiao's grandson." Du Xiaoxiao explained, "At that time, he was seriously injured in order to protect me, what happened now? ā
"You mean that little boy who was seriously injured! I heard that he is still in the intensive care unit, and he has suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and whether he can survive after the operation is completed depends on whether he can wake up before noon today. Qiu Lili replied with pity on her face, "But even if you wake up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the hospital bed and wheelchair in this life......
"I'm the one who bothered him." Du Xiaoxiao was silent, the once sunny carving boy is now uncertain. Could it be that there is really some secret to the "Wood Carving" handed down by my father?
So, Du Xiaoxiao asked Qiu Lili to help her get the suitcase if she was free in the afternoon, and she might want to study the set of wood carving dolls and the book again!
In the afternoon, Senior Sister Qiu Lili not only brought Du Xiaoxiao's luggage, but also brought Xiao Zhan over, only to see Xiao Zhan curled up in a wheelchair, his face was still pale, and he was still hanging a drip on his hand, but he was in good spirits.
Du Xiaoxiao was very excited when she saw Xiao Zhan: "I'm really happy to see you wake up, but how can you just wake up and run around?" As he spoke, Du Xiaoxiao lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but suddenly remembered that he only had bandages on his body, but he was not wearing clothes, and he lay down decadently.
"Just stop! Xiao Zhan came over to talk to you, so you just listen carefully, see if there are any clues, and close the case as soon as possible. Qiu Lili sat on the pillow with Du Xiaoxiao, and said very shamelessly.
Then he turned to look at Xiao Zhan and said, "Xiao Zhan, let's lie down and talk slowly!" After speaking, he put down the back of the wheelchair, supported it into a bed, and helped Xiao Zhan to lie down.
Xiao Zhan thanked him shyly, and after lying down, he said softly: "Things have to start with the woodcarved doll that Miss Xiao gave me, grandpa became suspicious when he saw the woodcarved doll given to me by Miss Xiao, saying that perceptual carving has always been a secret of the Xiao family, and it is impossible for outsiders."
At that time, Grandpa inherited the perceptual carving, and carried a family heirloom carving knife and a set of "General Outline of Carving", while the second grandfather only carried a set of toy wood carving dolls because he was still young, and did not learn to perceive the carving.
"I think it should be something missing from the inheritance caused by the escape, although grandpa inherited the perceptual carving, but he only knew a little about it, so grandpa has always been depressed. Later, my grandfather passed on the perceptual engraving to me, and I have been learning and exploring as I go, trying to inherit more perceptual engraving.
"When I asked my grandfather about the wood carving doll you sent, my grandfather was extremely concerned about this matter and investigated privately for a long time, but he couldn't find out why. I thought he had given up, but I didn't want Grandpa to be investigating your identity and origin.
"One day he got the news out of nowhere, and as soon as I came back from the store, he asked for a wooden carved doll. After careful examination, he said that I dared to deceive him, and in a fit of rage, he broke one of my legs.
Since then, Grandpa's temper has become more and more eccentric, and from time to time he looks at me with a little sluggishness, helplessness, and even a hint of hatred and madness. If you are not careful, you will be beaten by him. After that, I didn't dare to speak loudly to him. I think my grandfather may have had a mental problem at that time.
"When I was a child, my mother hated me, and my father ignored me, only my grandfather was the one who loved me the most, for me to go to school, and teach me carving. Eventually, however, I him off and disgusted him. As Xiao Zhan spoke, tears couldn't help but flow down his ears, choking silently.
Du Xiaoxiao leaned on the bed and comforted him: "Your grandfather must have a mental problem, otherwise he would definitely be reluctant to beat you." That day, if he hadn't been distracted by accidentally hurting you, he wouldn't have been hit by me. It can be seen that he still cares about you very much. ā
Xiao Zhan was silent, and his tears slowly put away. He didn't like to cry in the first place, just now it was just a little depressed and uncontrollable, not what he wanted to cry. Qiu Lili saw that Xiao Zhan had no desire to speak anymore, and his spirit was much worse, so she greeted Du Xiaoxiao, sent Xiao Zhan back to his own ward, and asked the nurse to take care of him carefully.
When Qiu Lili sent Xiao Zhan away, the eldest father Mo Yan entered Du's small ward.
Before Du Xiaoxiao had time to adjust his emotions, he looked at his eldest father in surprise and was silent.
Mo Yan looked at Du Xiaoxiao's appearance, thinking that Du Xiaoxiao had reached the wound, and hurriedly asked, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong, has it reached the wound?" Does it hurt? ā
Seeing the nervous appearance of the eldest father, Du Xiaoxiao hurriedly replied with a smile: "Father, I'm fine, the wounds are all scabbed, and the doctor said when he changed the dressing this morning that the bandage can be removed tomorrow." When did you arrive? Did you see the third father and the teacher? ā
Mo Yan saw Du Xiaoxiao's smiling appearance, the corners of his eyes turned red, he turned his head, sniffed, turned his head again, and said to Du Xiaoxiao: "It's all because my father is incompetent, not only can't help you, but also brings you so much trouble." If you have three long and two short, how can the eldest father be right about your grandma, as well as your other fathers and younger brothers? ā
"Father, what do you say? This time it was an accident, what does it have to do with you? Du Xiaoxiao said depressedly, "That old man Xiao, what kind of person is it, I don't want you to blame yourself because of him." ā
"Okay, okay, you don't follow, you don't follow, Father is just talking. However, if you really want to talk about it, you have to blame me for not telling you about the inheritance of wood carving. Makes you suffer so much. Mo Yan hurriedly appeased Du Xiaoxiao and talked about his own inheritance.
"Didn't I tell you that "Wood Carving" was passed on to me by my father, your grandfather? Your grandfather's surname is Xiao, his name is Xiao Liuying, and he is also the younger brother of Xiao Liuxing, the old man Xiao Liuxing, before the Xiao family had an accident, the head of the Xiao family had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he handed over the family inheritance to Xiao Liuxing, and asked him to leave home with his younger brother.
"In private, because your grandfather has liked that set of wood carving dolls since he was a child, he used the carved rosewood box and handed it over to your grandfather for safekeeping, and also explained that no matter what the situation is, don't replace the box. Your grandfather is an honest child, he has always been very obedient, and he escaped from the main star of the Xiao family with Xiao Liuxing and wandered around.
"Although Xiao Liuxing is a selfish character, he is a talent who practices martial arts, and he is not bad to your grandfather, he quickly found a job in a martial arts hall, but the income is not high, and it is a little difficult to support the two, not to mention that he has to practice martial arts at a great cost. So, I gave your grandfather to a couple who have never had children to raise. Because they had their own experiences when they grew up, the two were separated for many years and never met again.
"Until I was eight years old, because I love wood carving, your grandfather took me to Xiao Liuxing, hoping that he could teach me a thing or two, I don't want to, he didn't want to think about it and said: It is the ancestral inheritance of the Xiao family, and it is necessary to leave it to his children to learn, and it is impossible to teach a child with a foreign surname.
At that time, your grandfather was so angry that he took me home, opened the carved rosewood box, took out a basic copy of "Wood Carving" from the secret box, and handed it to me along with the set of wood carving dolls. Since then, your grandfather has not seen him again until he died. It stands to reason that if I want to call him 'uncle', you should also call him 'grandpa'. ā
It turned out that before coming to see Du Xiaoxiao, Mo Yan met with Old Man Xiao under the arrangement of the police and Ge Qinian, and carefully identified Old Man Xiao as Mo Yan's uncle. It's just that. After so many years, too much has changed. A person who was once high-spirited turned out to be paranoid to this extent.
