In addition, death still appeared.

The year after I learned the truth, my grandfather passed away.

He was attending a technical national conference in the field, and felt a little tightness in his chest on the way, and his friends thought that the air conditioning in the car was too poor, so he moved to a position with fewer people in the back by the window.

Ten minutes later, when the destination venue arrived, they realized that Grandpa had stopped breathing.

Grandpa's funeral was done by his parents, and he had no other relatives except our family. When we went to my grandfather's house to clean up the relics, my father and I found a locked cabinet, and my father tried to pry the lock open. I saw something locked in the cupboard.

It was an old-fashioned thermos. There is a circle of gilded words on the bottle body: Murong Xuan of Comrade Bai Qi's glorious extras Chapter 16 Retirement.

The thermos flask is not a high-end product, it is almost worthless, and no one is happy to accept it when it is sold as an old product.

But grandpa rushed to treat it as a treasure, and he locked it in the cabinet for so many years.........

The death of my grandfather was, strictly speaking, "the first modern death case of the ancients". If this does not include Director Liang, who has long since disappeared.

Yes, he disappeared "again", and in my opinion and Xiaomo, this is his complete and real disappearance, and Director Liang will never come back.

He zeroed out his computer completely, and when he turned it on, all he could see was a grinning baby face. The babyface said, "I'm going back, go to my father."

I was in my first year of high school.

No one knows where Director Liang went. Maybe he really went back to the Qin Dynasty and went to find his father Qin Shi Huang, maybe he finally "settled the mandate of heaven" and followed the development of Fusu Gongzi in history and killed himself - once this is a view that all of us do not agree with.

Maybe he really found his dad, then. According to his own ambition, he "kidnapped" his father, took the first emperor out of the Qin Dynasty, and then casually took Murong Xuan Chapter 16 to stuff the cart of fish.

Perhaps, their father and son are at some point in history, and the cat is in some corner that no one knows.

Perhaps at this very moment, the great First Emperor was helplessly enduring his son's chatter...... If that were the case, I would deeply sympathize with him.

But the overall change in the atmosphere of my house originated from a very small thing.

In this group of ancient circles, there used to be a habit that had been maintained for many years: every two or three years, someone would ask my mother to challenge swordsmanship.

My mother and I came back from the Spring and Autumn Period, as a well-known "Yue Nu Sword" in history, my mother received general attention from the whole situation, of course, there are not many people who can make swords and guns, and my uncle will not ask my mother for advice, but the young soldiers under my father at that time refused to let go of this opportunity. According to them, how can you not let go of the "team has resources" - the resources that the captain's family has.

After a long time, this matter gradually formed a default agreement, and after a period of time, there will be people in the control group who feel that they have practiced well. Come to my mom to challenge, looking forward to beating my mom.

Defeating my mother is defeating the legendary "Yue Nu Sword", what a glorious thing!

The first person to challenge my mother was Uncle Young. At that time, he was still very young, and he liked to break through everything. But three successive challenges failed. Finally let Uncle Xiao Yang die of this heart, once he didn't understand why his hard work couldn't get results, and then he was relieved: "Anyway, even our captain can't beat his wife, why am I in a hurry?" ”

By the way, many years later, my father was transferred to the General Staff, and Uncle Yang took his place in the control group. But this "Captain Yang" has a quirk, before going on a business trip to ancient times, you have to check a detailed list, not a list of team members, but a list of the ancients who are likely to come into contact with in the era you are about to go.

If there was someone surnamed Yang in there, he would try to avoid this operation.

…… Since Yang Guozhong and Yang Jian died at his hands one after another, Uncle Yang never dared to go to ancient times to contact his family with the same surname.

Later, this small-scale challenge, which was originally a private one, gradually became a scale. There is a fixed time and venue. A few years later, even the national martial arts team and the troops on the people. They all came to my mother to challenge.

However, no one has ever achieved success.

But in detail, there were two people who almost succeeded, one was my father, and the other was Shanshan's father, Uncle Wei.

Although I knew my mom would do this, I never thought she was so great, and no one would be surprised by something that she had turned a blind eye to since childhood. It's just that occasionally, I think she's super nimble. For example, every time she changes seasons, she changes clothes and quilts in the attic of the closet, my mother doesn't use a ladder, she can step on a little drawer, and send quilts to high places, and the speed is amazing—because I was used to seeing it since I was a child, I thought it was the same for every mother.

I also tried once, and the drawer collapsed and the person fell down.

My mom told me not to bother, there were two capable ones in the house, and I didn't need my clumsy help. I know my dad has practiced too, and he must have learned kung fu in the army, and sometimes he played with me at home, and he jumped up and down to have fun. But overall, he doesn't seem to be as fast as my mom, and he's not as light as she is.

Men are already more powerful than women, and my dad is much bigger than my mom, and lions are not as light as macaques, which is my personal understanding.

But my mom would occasionally laugh at my dad for not working. "I still owe a little bit." Every time she said that, my dad was very upset and said to my mom, "What are you proud of!" She was like the proud general in the cartoon, and said, "Sooner or later, someone will punish you instead of the moon!" ”

At first, my dad pinned this hope on other people in the bureau, he instigated Director Lei to go to my mother to "fight" countless times, and Director Ling's husband also instigated him, but that one refused to take the bait, and said that if it was a group fight, he could consider helping, and he would be exempted from going it alone, and his kung fu was a three-legged cat.

My dad said it was absolutely a lie, and he had seen with his own eyes the abilities of Xiaopeng's father. But people won't, and he can't do it.

Director Lei also refused, he said that he had never fought with anyone at all, and the level was too stinky, and he was going to lose on the field, my mother was his subordinate, and she was still very authoritative, but if she lost to her subordinates, she was still a female subordinate. Then he is too faceless bibi......

My dad laughed at Director Lei for saving face. He said that he had lost to his wife in this way, should he find a rope to hang on the southeast branch? My dad said that only by comparing can there be progress, but Director Lei said that he didn't want to "progress" at all, and said that his life is "the more regressive, the happier it is".

In order to defeat my mother, my father even went to Director Liang, because it was rumored that Director Liang was actually a practitioner, and later my father confirmed this from my grandfather. But after listening to his advice, the one suddenly said happily: "Chong'er! I'll design you a fighting robot that won't lose power! Guaranteed to beat Su Hong! Even if you can't beat her, you can exhaust her! ”

The remaining half a day became a debate between my father and Director Liang on "whether it is legal or not for robots to commit violence on behalf of people's congresses".

When my dad came home, he was so tired that he didn't want to talk for half a week.

So I understood why he later warned me with a blood-vomiting expression, "Don't provoke Director Liang."

So, there were only three people left, Grandpa, my uncle and Uncle Wei.

On my grandfather's side, my dad didn't even ask. Because my mom was my grandfather's apprentice, my dad said he wasn't stupid enough to provoke the rival master.

My uncle, my dad gave up completely, he said that it was better to count on my uncle than to count on Xiaomo.

Then, he began to lobby Shanshan's father.

Uncle Wei didn't think about it at all, he knew that the control team was very concerned about it, but in Uncle Wei's words, the only thing he can fight with others now is basketball and writing papers, and I'm afraid the latter is a little stronger.

Comparing knives and guns with people is already a "thing of the past" for him.

But my dad was a master lobbyist. I don't know how he said it twice, but Uncle Wei finally agreed.

Uncle Wei's condition was that he needed to prepare for two years.

This is natural, he has not touched a weapon for many years, and it is impossible to do what he says and immediately return to the level he was back then.

After my grandfather knew it, he counted down my dad is elbow and turned out.1 Xiao said α

, how can you pull outsiders to bully your daughter-in-law? My dad was very aggrieved, and he told my grandfather that it was because my mom was bullying him at home. Jokes that he's "always a little bit off" and "clumsy", so he's going to have to find a way to beat my mom's arrogance......

My dad later told me that I shouldn't call Director Bai "grandpa", I should call him "grandpa".

Uncle Wei agreed to go head-to-head with my mother, and this matter caused a great sensation in the overall situation! Those "perennial defeated generals" pinned their hopes on the "hussar generals", and they even took the initiative to sell the practice room to Uncle Wei, and in order to ensure that he could concentrate on recovery, they also set aside a large chunk of time on the schedule.

When my mother found out, she also blamed my dad, saying that people were very busy, and because he kept chattering, he was forced to agree, which had to delay how much time Xiaowei had. My dad said it didn't matter, in fact, if he really didn't like it, it would be impossible for outsiders to be convinced.

"After all, everyone has a little bit of arrogance in their hearts." My dad said with a grin. "Especially, it's him."

It was a sensational game, and I watched the footage later.

When two people came out, all of them held their breath! I haven't seen Uncle Wei dressed like that. The retro clothes on him made me feel a little awkward, and he changed his contact lenses. It also made me feel like his face had changed.

I didn't expect that a pair of boundless pure iron glasses would play a decisive role in a person's temperament.

It was many years before I realized it. The glasses were actually some kind of disguise, and under their cover, what I saw was not the truth about the man.

Uncle Wei was only in his early thirties that year, which was a very good age, although it was only a video he watched. But I can still feel the momentum through the screen. The man in black was surrounded by an unfathomable ......

The two saluted each other, and the game began.

They use real swords, so they need to sign a self-responsibility agreement beforehand, of course. Everyone is an acquaintance, and no one will really kill anyone, but at this point, it is difficult to control it to 100% without accidents in the process. So the agreement is also necessary.

Even though I knew that nothing had happened to anyone because I was watching the aftermath video, when the two of them showed their respective blades, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart!

Uncle Wei used a golden scimitar. My mom used a glittering sword.

Later, I learned that the scimitar was actually given to Uncle Wei by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He fought my mother with this knife.

At first, they made a dozen moves, and they were very polite to each other. It seems to be humble, and it seems to be just a mutual temptation. I can understand the caution, after all, they have been friends for many years, and the sharpness of the other party has been hidden under this deep relationship.

So the first thing they need to do is to get rid of this layer and really test each other's roots, the enemy's roots.

When I was about 30 moves, I found that the expressions of the onlookers had changed: the real battle had just officially begun at this moment!

From the angle of the camera, I can see the scimitar in Uncle Wei's hand, faster and faster! The golden light almost flashed into an arc, dancing whirringly. It's like a hood that wants to cover my mom all in! And my mother is jumping around in this golden light, and the sound of swords colliding is endless!

At this time, even I, a layman who doesn't know how to do it at all, can see that the situation is more in favor of Uncle Wei. My mother seemed to be forced to escape by his heavy attack, and she was running as fast as a flying canopy, and many people in the control group on both sides couldn't help but show joy on their faces, thinking that if this continued, my mother's defeat was already decided.

But look at Uncle Wei's expression in the camera. Not only was he not as happy as the uncles in the control group, but on the contrary, he showed a hint of surprise.

"He couldn't find a loophole." Behind me, my dad interjected.

I looked back at him, "But my mom is on the run." Isn't this a loophole? ”

My dad shook his head: "Your mother didn't face it head-on, but Xiaowei's purpose was not achieved, he kept trying to find your mother's loophole, but he couldn't find it, on the contrary, your mother-"

Before my dad could finish his words, the people on the screen suddenly let out an exclamation!

It turned out that my mother jumped up and jumped out of the golden cover!

When Uncle Wei saw that she was going to escape, he was also reluctant to follow: the scimitar was forcing my mother more urgently, my mother shrank her body slightly, avoided the knife, and then raised the sword to it, and the two edges collided, and there was a bang! Burst out with a little spark.

In the face of the stormy attack, my mother seemed to be a little physically exhausted, and when her body was spinning, a large empty door was revealed, which may be the opportunity that Uncle Wei had been looking for, and in an instant he jumped up, and the scimitar in his hand was pointed directly at the opponent!

Who knew that at this moment, the opponent turned around and went around behind him, it turned out that it was a trick made by his mother, and the direction she really wanted to go was not ahead. But it's his left side! At the time of the fierce fight, although he knew the plan, Uncle Wei couldn't hold back his moves. His toes were on the ground, and it was too late to jump, only to see that on his side, a long sword came out like a ghost, and with a sharp slash, the blade fell on his left shoulder!

"Whew!" With a bang, Uncle Wei's left shoulder was torn, bursting with blood!

The two of them swayed slightly, and they both stood still for a few seconds.

Inside, there was a dead silence!

I didn't even want to breathe, I clenched my fists and stared at the screen with wide eyes!

In the camera, Uncle Wei was seen throwing down the knife and covering the bleeding wound on his left shoulder with his hand.

Then, he smiled slightly: "Sister Su." I lost. ”

My mother lowered her sword and stared at Uncle Wei for a long time.

Then, I heard my mother clenching her fists and whispering, "Accept it, General Huo." ”

The audience was in an uproar!

Later, I watched the video many times, and a certain detail was gradually revealed after watching it many times, and every time I watched it again, I felt that the two people on the field were not the two people I was familiar with, especially Uncle Wei, when the last blow, he jumped high. The look on his face made me feel incredibly strange, as if there was something real to break free from his heart at this moment of killing......

I couldn't help but feel terrified, it wasn't him. That's not "Wei Bin", but that Huo Qu's disease.

So I also understood why it ended. Mom was going to say that to him.

Later, my mother told me that she was indeed a little scared in the middle of the fierce battle, and felt that she no longer knew the person in front of her, and that she had no other way than to treat him as an enemy.

"Of course, doing that is also a sign of respect for your Uncle Wei." My mom added, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to fight him wholeheartedly." ”

"Then why did you keep running away before?" I asked, "Are you looking for a loophole?" ”

My mom nodded: "Find the loophole." Confirm and then concentrate on a full blow, although the process is different for each opponent, but it's basically as simple as that. ”

Uncle Wei lost to my mother, which made my father very regretful, and after returning home, he repeatedly asked my mother why Xiaowei lost, and he never believed that it was just Uncle Wei's carelessness.

My mother's answer was that he was too anxious.

"If he had followed his course and honestly fought me for a hundred or so rounds, maybe I wouldn't have won so easily."

"But he thinks it's been too long, and he wants to do everything in his power to give me the fatal blow, and he wants to do it so much, but it's a very risky thing to do, and it's just the opportunity for me to take advantage of." ”

My dad didn't answer my mom when he heard this, he got lost in thought.

"But if you don't, it's not like him." My mother laughed, "Actually, the moment Xiao Wei jumped up, alas, it really looked like Huo Quai!" ”

My dad said she was talking nonsense.

Anyway, my dad lost the bet, so I had to let my mom take out his wallet and take me to a seafood dinner. My mom magnanimously "invited" my dad to come along, but he was so depressed that he locked himself in his room, saying he would study the footage again.

Later, my mother told me that what she admired most about Uncle Wei was precisely the moment when he admitted defeat.

"Think about it, this man, never loses." My mom said, "Never!" For so many years, he has only been linked to the word 'win', and even Lin Lan still lost to him in the end? Hmm, I'm afraid he hasn't suffered a so-called defeat in his profession for so many years, right? ”

I let out a soft "ah".

"That's why the moment he throws in is the greatest." My mom said, "Come to think of it, I've been preparing for two years, I've worked so hard, and everyone is expecting him to beat me, and everyone, including your father, is determined that he can win, that he can continue the glory of his previous life, and maintain his record of constant victory...... But he lost. ”

Sometimes people who win often carry more things than novices.

"But Xuanxuan, you see, Uncle Wei's look at that time, that kind of posture, tsk, was not depressed at all, nor was he unwilling and angry. So at that moment I knew that this person was really ......"

In fact, I don't quite agree with what my mom said.

Never failed? It may just be that she never saw those "failures".

The uneasiness I felt at the beginning, the almost unsuccessful start, the confusion about the future direction of research, the deep self-doubting of myself, and the years when I couldn't get out of bed because of it, yes, these are all things that the victorious man told me personally.

In fact, it's hard for me to imagine that people like Uncle Wei will also have times when they have stomach aches because of fear.

"Many times." He told me. "At one point I thought I was brilliant and born to sit on the throne of elementary particle theory, but it soon became clear to me that I was probably just a pretty foal with a little tricks."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the more time passes, the clearer I can see." He gestured, "Actually." Later, I had to admit that I lacked many, many things, the simplest example: Xuan Xuan, do you know how old I was when I came into contact with second-order derivatives? At the age of 26, he is ten years later than others. While my peers were doing long-term math calculations, I was fighting on horseback, and my math was so bad that it affected the research itself. It's like charging into battle when you're riding a lame horse. I was annoyed by this flaw. I even hoped that I would go back in time and let me exchange those former honors for a piece of chalk that could be quietly calculated. ”

Well, I was surprised by his confession, and I couldn't help but feel ridiculous. I thought about it for a long time before I said, "No one will agree with you." ”

"Well, I should admit everything that has happened, it's just that no one can really understand how I felt at that time."

I tried to reassure him, "But when it comes to mathematics. Einstein was also quite poor at math and even needed help from others in his research. ”

"I didn't think of that at the time, and I didn't think I could compare myself to Einstein." He smiled.

I sighed.

"During that time, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to stay long in that research building and that I would have to be pushed off to the defense industry and take up a general job to make ends meet. I also talked to Shanshan's mother. I'm going to be a mess, so what can I do? It turns out that I can't be like Fermi. When he said this, he laughed, "Fortunately, she said that if she can't make it, she can't make it, and if she really wants to be fired, she will come back to get the subsistence allowance." She said that she really didn't care at all, even if she raised a husband who received a subsistence allowance, it didn't matter, and those who were defeated also had the right to eat bread happily. ”

I laughed, and I suddenly felt that the image of the "hussar general" in my heart had become extremely complicated. He's no longer the glorious little god of war in my simple hallucination.

"It took me two years to climb out of the slump because then I figured it out. Although I don't have a strong math ability, I do have a good imagination and physical skills. After that, I didn't even think about giving up, even though I had experienced several lows in the same way. If I don't get something satisfactory in quantum chromodynamics research in this life, then I will continue to do well in the next life. Failure doesn't mean anything else, it just means that you haven't reached the point of success yet. Xuanxuan, so you see, I have also had a lot of failures. ”

So, in fact, it's because the person has "failed so many times that he is no longer afraid of failure."

But my mom didn't know much about that, and she even joked that she wasn't averse to the end of the game. Uncle Wei went home and grabbed Aunt Lin's hand and howled and cried, she laughed when she said this.

Well, so I thought, my mom is really the proud general in the cartoon. !!
