The meal in front has been laid out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Aunt Guo pointed to the expressionless old man in the wheelchair and said, "Su San, this is your uncle." ”
Uncle? Su San looked at his uncle carefully, he looked a lot older and fattered, but his face basically didn't change, but his eyes were loose and unfocused, and he was gray and couldn't see through.
"Uncle, I'm Su San, I heard Ling Yu say, you have suffered in Singapore."
My uncle didn't react at all, and sat there motionless.
Aunt Guo sighed and pointed to her head: "Your uncle is here...... I don't remember anything. ”
"Uncle, I'm Su San." Su San squatted in front of him to awaken his memory.
Uncle didn't even roll his eyes.
Ling Yu stepped forward and said, "I'll push my father back to the room." ”
When my uncle saw Ling Yu, he made an ahhh
"Uncle, what do you want to say?" Mo Ming asked.
Ling Yu said: "Dad has Alzheimer's disease, sometimes it will be inexplicable, don't take it seriously." ”
When he said a few inexplicable words, Mo Ming shrugged his shoulders and suddenly a Japanese sentence popped up.
Uncle was even more nervous when he heard Japanese, he didn't listen, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Aunt Guo, and his eyes were instantly focused, full of anger.
"You scared him." Aunt Kwok complained, "He was almost killed by the Japanese in Singapore, and that's what happens when he hears Japanese." ”
"I'm sorry, I remembered a Japanese proverb and said it casually." Mo Ming hurriedly said sorry.
Su San understood that his uncle was obviously pointing at Aunt Guo.
"What do you mean by that Japanese?" Su San asked.
"I said I came to hear the word inexplicable with the determination to jump off the Shimizu stage."
"What does that mean?"
Su San didn't understand.
"The Shimizu Stage is a building inside Sensoji Temple in Tokyo, and it is very tall."
Mo Ming said this, and quickly glanced at the people in the room.
Ling Yu looked impatient, as if to say: When is it, you are still talking about the Qingshui stage.
And Aunt Guo's face was indifferent, and she couldn't see the joy and sorrow.
"A lot of Japanese people like the beauty there, and a lot of people like to go there and commit suicide. What a pervert, defiling the natural landscape with human flesh and blood. ”
Ling Yu didn't want to listen to him at all, so he pushed his uncle to go back to the room.
"Doesn't my uncle eat?"
Su San felt strange, Aunt Guo seemed to mean just to let herself look at her uncle.
"He eats something different from us, it's a nutritious meal that the doctor has put together, let's eat."
Aunt Guo spoke, and everyone could only sit down to eat.
Rice, mushroom chicken soup, choy sum and tofu.
Mo Ming smiled secretly, and first helped Su San fill a bowl of chicken soup, with a few mushrooms floating on it.
"Mr. Mo is really considerate, Su San, these are all mushrooms on the mountain behind, they are delicious and nutritious, very nourishing, eat more."
Aunt Guo persuaded on the side.
Su San looked at the chicken soup in the bowl painfully, not knowing how to drink it. Those few mushrooms floated on it, taking advantage of the green coriander leaves, how suspicious it looked.
I can't drink it.
Su San glared at Mo Ming, who ate with a grin, not caring about her reaction at all.
The chicken broth tastes good, the tangy aroma of this mushroom...... Slippery mushrooms, to eat or not to eat?
Su San was hesitating, Mo Ming suddenly took her soup bowl and drank it in one gulp and said, "I know you have a bad stomach and can't be greasy, forget it, I'll help you drink it." Auntie, this chicken soup tastes so fresh, and the mushrooms are good. ”
"Eat more if you like."
Su San felt that the smile on Aunt Guo's face was reluctant, as if she had brought a mask.
After eating, Wang's mother served tea.
After Mo Ming drank the tea, he said that he was very sleepy and said goodbye to go and rest first. Only Su San and Aunt Guo were left in the room, and Ling Yu didn't know what to do.
Su San only discovered at this moment that this so-called Lechuan Villa was actually the permanent residence of the three members of the Guo family plus a mute royal mother. The driver who brought them that day never showed up.
The two of them sat facing each other, Su San didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
"Do you remember what happened to your father?"
Aunt Guo suddenly spoke.
Su San shook his head blankly: "I don't remember, I was too young at that time, but I heard that he was missing." ”
"Yes, you don't remember? Your dad was with you when he disappeared. Aunt Guo said with a solemn face, "In other words, you watched your father disappear with your own eyes." Dad must have confessed something to you when he disappeared, right? Remember? ”
Su San shook his head: "I really don't remember, I also heard from my neighbors about my father's disappearance, and I didn't know that I was with him at the time." But, Auntie, since I'm with my father, why did my father disappear? ”
Aunt Guo was stunned when she was asked, and explained softly: "That's the reason why Dad asked you to stay, think about it, did you explain anything?" ”
Su San frowned and said, "Auntie, but why didn't you mention this matter in the past?" I didn't know anything at the time, I remember asking you about my parents, but you said you were confused, you didn't know anything. Now how do you ask about my dad's disappearance? ”
"I was busy at the time, and I didn't care about it, because I couldn't do anything because of the war all these years, and when people were free, it was easy to remember the past." Aunt Guo explained, "Su San, I really hope you can be happy, but you are too thoughtful, and you don't tell your aunt the truth, I know that you have suffered a lot in the orphanage since you were a child, but it is not okay to have a knot in your heart like this." Untie this knot and you'll be able to get it completely relaxed. ”
"Aunt thinks that knot in my heart is the matter of my father's disappearance?"
Aunt nodded: "Do you know why this place is called Lethe Mountain Villa?" ”
"I know that Lethe River is a river, and there is a bridge on the river."
"Yes, the mountain behind here is called Lethe."
Su San suppressed the surprise in his heart and nodded, his eyes flickering with a look of interest.
Aunt Guo was obviously very satisfied with her performance, and continued slowly: "This mountain is called Lechuan, and building a house is naturally called Lechuan Villa." Actually......" she said mysteriously, lowering her voice, "there is something more mysterious here, and that is eternal life. ”
Su San smiled: "Auntie, you are teasing me again, what immortality, that is, immortality, isn't this something in mythological stories?" Haha, it turns out that my aunt also likes to watch chatting. ”
"Eternal life is not the same as immortality." Aunt Guo saw that Su San had never revealed what happened before her father's disappearance, and decided to increase her chips and tempt Su San with greater benefits.
"Immortality is a person who will never die, but eternal life is a person who can die, but the memories in his mind can be extracted and inherited forever."
"Is that the resurrection of the dead in another sense?"
Su San was chilled, she kind of understood why there was such a big deviation between her and Ling Yu's memory. The current Ling Yu and Aunt Guo are not the Ling Yu and Aunt Guo of nine years ago. Or maybe they are the ones who have inherited part of the real memories of Aunt Guo and Ling Yu! It was precisely because this part of the technique was not strong that Ling Yu's inherited memory was skewed.
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
"This was your father's research topic in his early years at Imperial University, and he mastered the most core technology, but then disappeared."
Su San thought to himself, very good, it turns out that my father studied in Japan, and all this is finally connected with the Japanese.
A mountain called Lethe, Wu Chengming, who is suspected of being Japanese, and his father also studied in Japan, so it turns out that these are all related.
Aunt Guo was silent when she saw Su San bowing her head, knowing that she was frightened by this shocking secret. He took her hand and said, "Look, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country, think about it, what Dad said to you before he disappeared, where he hid his research materials, as long as you think about it, it is a merit." ”
"Merit? Auntie, I don't understand what you mean? ”
"Oh, you see our country, just beat the Japanese away, everything has to be rebuilt, of course it takes a lot of technology." My aunt continued to follow the path.
"But what is the use of memory inheritance, and you can't generate electricity and can't build aircraft cannons, aunt, I don't understand, besides, I really don't remember what happened before my father disappeared, and I don't even have any memories before the age of 4, it seems to have been erased, a clean blank."
Aunt Guo smiled: "Su San, you don't trust your aunt." ”
At this time, an exclamation came from outside, it was Ling Yu's voice: "Mr. Mo, what do you mean by this!" ”
Something happened to Mo Ming? Su San stood up suddenly, and Aunt Guo also exclaimed, "Ling Yu, what's wrong?" (To be continued.) )
