Chapter 32: Sand Feather's Past
Not long after sneaking out of the Shajia compound, Sha Yu took Gu Li and ran on a bus to the outskirts of Meichuan, Gu Li didn't ask a word, they drove all the way out of the bustling street market and drove to the desolate mountains in the suburbs.
About two hours later, Sha Yu suddenly grabbed Gu Li and ran off the bus, Gu Li looked at the bus carrying a few people and jumped onto a bridge lying on the water, and turned his head to look at his surroundings.
It was surrounded by mountains in the distance, and under the bridge I was standing on was a blue water, and from a distance the water shimmered with a shimmering light, and the sand feather had jumped off the bridge and ran towards the blue water.
Gu Li also immediately rushed towards an unfamiliar place, and when they reached the water's edge, the two saw a few small fish fighting in the mud in front of them, they only cared about everything in front of them, but they didn't know that the real danger behind them had already come.
A bird was already flying towards them, and they were still fighting the last trapped beasts for their territory, and their vision was too short-sighted.
"Isn't it interesting, this is my secret base!"
The place where Sha Yu and Gu Li are standing at this moment is the blue lake at the foot of the Meichuan cemetery, after saying what he just said, Sha Yu naturally took out the fishing tools he had prepared in advance from his backpack, and the fishing rod that was not thick was quickly stretched, and Sha Yu pulled out an earthworm that just happened to emerge from the mud puddle on the ground, and made it into bait with a pull of two pulls, and then threw the fishing line towards the blue lake with a flick of his hand.
Gu Libei, who was standing beside him, turned around and glanced at the mountain in the distance, this is really a good place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is indeed a good place for leisure and entertainment!
He was very interested in the environment here, but all enthusiasm was extinguished by Sha Yu's next sentence, which told Gu Li that the building on the mountainside was not a leisure hotel at all, but the only cemetery in Meichuan, and the people who took the bus with them to and from here just now were actually people who went to or from the cemetery.
"The people who come and go on this road are sad, but they have to pretend that nothing has happened, what a self-deception!"
Sha Yu looked up at the people walking across the bridge in the distance, and he said so casually.
Gu Li's expression was solemn, and he wanted to ask him what he meant by that, but he didn't want him to spit out unconsciously and it turned out to be something like this, "Could it be that your relatives are also buried in the cemetery halfway up the mountain, who are they?" Your parents? ”
Sha Yu immediately dropped the fishing rod in his hand, and he stood up half-squatting and threw a stone towards Gu Li angrily, "What do you say, your parents are dead!" It's my grandmother buried there...... But my existence was just a deal between my parents and my grandfather. ”
The first time Gu Li saw the expression on Sha Yu's face at this moment, it was neither resentful nor indifferent, it could be said to be an expression that he couldn't decipher.
Seeing that Gu Li was stunned, Sha Yu hurriedly picked up the fishing rod he threw on the ground again, and laughed haha, "Gu Li, haven't you heard the story of our family?" It's no wonder, after all, how could my grandfather let others know about the past he wanted to hide, but it's nothing, and I can get rid of it in two years. But do you want to hear me talk about it? ”
Facing the blue lake, Gu Li remembered the world-famous book "Walden" he read, he knew that everyone has their own Walden, some people are willing to reveal to others, and some people are not willing to be stepped on half a step, at this moment he is standing on the shore of Walden Lake in the sand feather, waiting for him is the young man standing on the lake, where he smiled slightly, his eyes were sad but bright, and finally he stretched out his hand, and he was determined to reach out.
"It's actually more than ten years ago, just like the people my grandfather would see today, my parents also lived here more than ten years ago, but because something happened, they left Meichuan. Later, the year I was born, my grandfather brought me back to Meichuan from my parents, and they lived in a city more than 400 kilometers away from Meichuan. They promised my grandfather that he wouldn't come to see me until I was an adult, and I wasn't allowed to see them......"
"How do you know that?"
"My grandmother died six years ago, and you weren't in our house at that time, and I met them by chance at the cemetery here. They deliberately avoided me, but I knew they were my mom and dad. Later, after repeated questioning, my grandfather told me about my parents. More than ten years ago, there was an incident that affected our Sha family and many others, and my parents who were involved at that time suddenly decided to quit and decided not to have anything to do with the Sha family in the future. But as the eldest grandson of the Sha family, my grandfather would not allow me to leave the family again like his son, so I was taken away by him not long after I was born. ”
"And what really happened?"
"I don't know, my grandfather didn't tell me, I heard that someone seems to be missing, and a lot of precious cultural relics have been lost! Through my struggles over the years, my grandfather finally agreed that I could make my own choices as an adult......"
"Then you haven't seen your parents again?"
"There's nothing to see, they're them, I'm me, they just made their choices...... Gu Li, are we a little bit of a difficult brother, but soon I will be free! ”
"Two years to go! Does Old Man Sha really agree with you to do what you want? ”
"It's hard, but I'm not going to give up because it's hard...... Gu Li, take you to meet my grandma! She's always liked you. ”
"Okay, Sha Yu, if you want to come here in the future, you can call me."
The waves of the blue lake were quickly blown away by the breeze, and Sha Yu, who looked as lively as ever, walked in front, followed by Gu Li, looking at his back, wondering if the waves that had been covered had already formed a monstrous wave in Sha Yu's heart, but he couldn't see a trace of waves from his appearance at all?
Gu Li also remembered that there seemed to be something hidden in their family that had not been mentioned for a long time.
When he was not yet born, his grandfather seemed to have suffered a very serious injury, and later died because of the recurrence of the old disease, so what happened more than ten years ago?
"Gu Li, come on!"
Sha Yu turned his head and waved his hand to summon Gu Li, Gu Li withdrew himself from his thoughts and ran towards the young man in the light, Gu Li somehow rushed out of his mind with a deep prayer, praying that the years after them could be peaceful and good, and there would be no more waves.
