Chapter 30: A Note
Back in the bedroom, Li Hou endured the sadness in his heart, and began to sort out Li Yiyan's relics, and packed all the old man's daily use into a storage box, because these would no longer be used.
Li saw that the seal of the hidden compartment at the head of the bed had been broken, which he had broken in a hurry to get his gun, and looking at the hidden compartment that had been closed, he knew that this place had already been searched by the group of soldiers, because he was in a hurry the night before, and he didn't have time to close the secret compartment at all.
But it was nothing, he knew exactly what was in the old man's dark grid, only a handful of Rybin and a small diary.
Over the years, the old man has nothing to hide from Li Hou, and told him where the dark grid is, and the secret grid has no lock, and the only precaution is a one-time seal, which will be broken when opened, so Li Hou never dared to open the secret grid privately before.
Today, these taboos no longer exist.
He reached out and pressed the diagonal corner of a wall tile in front of the bed, and with a click, the wall tile slowly popped out a little, revealing a small drawer.
The gun was gone, only an old notebook remained, Li Hou hesitated for a moment, but still turned the first page.
After a long time, his face gradually showed a hint of softness, but also bitterness, this notebook recorded the youthful past between Li Yiyan and Xue's mother many years ago, that is, with Aunt Xue Tingting, very pure emotional notes.
The content of the note is exactly the same as what Li Yiyan once said intermittently, Xue's mother is a field military doctor, and she met Li Yiyan more than forty years ago, and she was almost about to get married, which coincided with the outbreak of war with the Gabon Empire, and both of them were sent to the war zone.
The six-year war took the life of Xue's mother, and Li Yiyan also returned full of pain, and he fell silent in this small inland city.
The diary was last fixed more than thirty years ago, and there was only one sentence------ I will take care of them for you until I see you again!
"You have fulfilled your promise to Mother Xue!" Li Hou murmured, "Sister Tingting is my own sister, I will help you continue with the blank behind!" ”
He fingered and gently flicked the notebook, and a note suddenly fell from it, Li Hou's eyes swept over, and he was stunned.
"Little monkey, I know that one day you will definitely see this note, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that your biological mother has no intention of recognizing you again, if you are still unwilling at this time, I will not object to you trying again, but you have to have the worst psychology
Get ready. Guo Yunxi, No. 117 Linhe Road, Jinquan City"
The note was not signed, but Li Hou could see at a glance that it was 100% the old man's handwriting.
"It turns out that you have already helped me find it, but I am afraid that I will not be able to accept it, so I keep saying that there is no news......" Li Hou closed his eyes, and tears slid down again.
Although the age difference between him and the old man is more than fifty years, but the relationship is by no means inferior to ordinary father and son, for more than ten years, the only dispute between the two was three years ago, it was a very fierce quarrel, for Li Hou's wish, looking for his own mother!
The old man did not give a result, and Li Hou thought that Li Yiyan did not try his best at all, so he was angry and had the move to enter the mountains of the north of the city with a few classmates.
It was only at this time that Li Hou finally understood Li Yiyan's painstaking efforts, and the old man was afraid of breaking his heart.
Holding the note tightly, Li Hou opened his eyes for a long time and put it in his wallet.
In the future, one day, I will go and see, rest assured, there is nothing I can't bear!
Li Hou wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.
……
For the first time in several years, Li Hou walked slowly to school without riding, and the early summer morning in his eyes was very gray, and everything seemed to have lost its luster.
Not far away, it's still the same black car! This looked a little unscrupulous in Li Hou's eyes, and it seemed that they were not worried about being discovered by themselves at all.
Li Hou really wanted to go over and see who it was, but thinking of last night's movements, he finally didn't move, at least he could judge that the people in the car should not be strong against themselves for the time being, otherwise he would not be able to stand here safely.
"Boss Zhao, who killed the pig, is probably crazy, and he actually stabbed himself last night!" On the side of the road in front, a group of old aunts gathered together early in the morning to start a day of gossip.
Boss Zhao? The butcher who killed the pig?
Li Hou raised his head slightly, and he suddenly remembered what the old man had solemnly warned him a long time ago, "In Ningma, there is a person you try not to get too close, Boss Zhao, the king of meat!" ”
"I've been killing pigs for almost twenty years, but I accidentally missed it!"
"Where, I heard that Boss Zhao came home in the middle of the night last night and bumped into something unclean, with a big blue mark on his face, and he called grandpa to everyone when he saw it!"
"Huh? How could he be so young and strong? ”
"Really, in the morning I ...... Oh, you see, he's already running down the street! The old lady in her sixties turned her head and screamed.
In the distance, a shirtless man wearing only a big pants was running towards this side, and soon he was not far away, he shouted as he ran, "Grandpa Daxian spares his life, Grandpa Daxian spares his life!" ”
"Huh? It's crazy! ”
Several old aunts were dumbfounded, what a ruthless person Boss Zhao is, in the north of the city, no one dares to mess with him, and now he has ended up like this.
"Grandpa Daxian spares his life!"
Boss Zhao turned all the way to the side of several old aunts, still holding his head with his hands and hunching his body and muttering, half of his face was bruised, and on his chest, back and back, there was also a semicircular bruise, knocking everywhere like a stamp, and his left leg was tied with a flower shirt, and there were blood stains, as if he had really been stabbed by himself.
"Great Immortal Lord...... Yes! ”
Boss Zhao also bowed towards Li Hou, and when he raised his head slightly, his voice was stunned, his eyes showed infinite horror, and he suddenly turned around and ran away with a shout.
Li Hou was in a daze, this old Zhao really had a problem with his brain, how could he see himself like a ghost, could it be so scary that he didn't sleep all night, he unconsciously touched his face, but saw that the old aunts in front of him also looked at him.
Wrong! It's the back. Li Hou came back to his senses and immediately turned his head.
Black car! Only a hundred meters behind him, the black car was following unhurriedly, and there were no pedestrians.
Maybe you can't say that there is nothing, strictly speaking, there are still other creatures, and Uncle Sun's cultural donkey is coming out of a small fork in the road.
"Monkey, are you alright?" An old aunt spoke.
When several old aunts saw Li Hou, they all showed concern, after all, they were all neighbors in the neighborhood, and they had known each other for more than ten years, and Li Yiyan's death could imagine how much impact it had on this sixteen or seventeen-year-old child!
"It's okay, Aunt Liu, I'm getting ready to go to school!" Li Hou barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
"Alas, don't be too sad, after all, you still have a long time ahead, you should study hard or study hard, and go to a good university in the future to be worthy of Lao Li!"
"I hate that one who kills a thousand knives, how can he do it to someone of Lao Li's age!"
A few old aunts comforted Li Hou with gossips, which really made Li Hou feel a little more comfortable.
People are such complex animals, and their mood is such a strange feeling, obviously the essence of things has not changed, but because of some external influences, the mood has indeed become a little different.
Perhaps only by living better can he be worthy of the old man's kindness for more than ten years, can he solve the mystery in his heart, and have the opportunity to avenge the old man.
Li Hou's gloomy eyes finally regained a trace of brilliance, "Thank you for your concern, I won't let the old man down!" ”
The cultural donkey kicked and walked by, and seemed to turn the big black face that was more than a foot long and glanced at Li Hou, but Li Hou was in no mood to take care of it.
"I'm going to school!" Li Hou greeted a few old aunts and quickened his pace to leave.
"I still have my sister, and I still need to finish what the old man hasn't done!"
At this moment, Li Hou finally found a goal for himself.
But there is still a shadow in his heart, who is in the black car behind him? What do they want to do with them following them like this?
