3. My grandfather's diary
Chen Zhiyu came to the store early to open as usual, and for more than a year, he has been taken care of by the boss Luo Kang like a brother, and he feels very warm in his heart, and he does his best in all the big and small things in the store. In the past, before opening in the morning, Chen Zhiyu took care of everything, and Luo Kang would bring breakfast for two people later. Today, the door of the store has been opened, Chen Zhiyu walked into the store, like visiting a rare animal, looking unkempt, dark eyes, Luo Kang, who was rummaging through the cabinets, said: "Boss, what are you doing?" "Looking for something, I haven't slept all night, come and help me find it, it should be a notebook or something." After Luo Kang sent Lin Zi home last night, he has been looking for his grandfather's diary, and he has searched all over the East Courtyard, wanting to try his luck in the store again. Chen Zhiyu asked, "What notebook?" Ledger? "No," Luo Kang simply sat on the ground and briefly told Chen Zhiyu what happened last night. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhiyu was not stunned, handed Luo Kang a cigarette, and then said: "Boss, you don't have to be afraid, our hometown is in the countryside, and there are a lot of such things, all of which are some spiritual animals that have entered the human body, so as to achieve the effect of manipulating people." These animals are also called family fairies, among which there are five kinds of animals "fox yellow and white willow gray", that is, foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, mice and called the five immortals, these animals that have become immortals in order to achieve positive results, many times are to help people, do good deeds, if Xue Ye is a family fairy, it is likely to help you. Have you looked for Grandpa's diary on your computer? It's hard to keep such an old thing, so your parents should be able to take some photos or something! Hearing Chen Zhiyu say this, Luo Kang suddenly came to his senses, he looked at his parents' computers before, and he had indeed seen similar photos, but he didn't look carefully at the time, and he didn't ask his parents what this thing was. Luo Kang hurriedly got up, returned to the East Courtyard with Chen Zhiyu, and turned on the computer that his parents used to use, and his mother Qu Jing used to save the photos by category, and they easily found these photos in the folder named "Luo Kang's Grandma".
The first photo is the whole picture of the diary, a thick book about 16 open, the cover is the pattern of the military flag and the words of the People's Liberation Army, and the second photo is the title page of the notebook, with a line of handwritten words with a brush: "I hope that the king will carry the glory of my four fields and go to the DPRK to make new contributions." The payment is Liang Xingchu.
The photos that followed are the diary of Luo Kang's grandfather from joining the volunteer army to before his death. The 38th Army of the Volunteer Army, where my grandfather belonged, attacked the Tokugawa area in the second battle and won a key victory in the Korean War, that is, in this battle, my grandfather's right thumb was cut off by shrapnel from the bomb explosion, and he was disabled since then. It may be that the work is relatively safe and there is more spare time, and the diary after this is especially detailed. The diary mentions that the battalion that was transferred after being wounded and disabled provided security for ordinary North Koreans who were transporting supplies. It is said that the logistics troops are relatively safe, and in the Korean battlefield, which has no air and sea supremacy, bombs may fall on their heads at any time, and the military and civilians of the transport team are killed and injured every day. Qingshangli, where my grandfather's battalion headquarters is located, was the center of the army's material and personnel turnover, and many things recorded in the diary happened here, including the joy of victory in the war, as well as the grief of losing relatives and friends.
Among them, the diary of the grandfather three days before his death attracted the attention of Luo Kang and Chen Zhiyu, which may be what the grandmother mentioned.
The original text is as follows:
1951.4.13 Qing Qing Kamisato
At half past four o'clock in the afternoon, the rations of the front-line troops were finally raised, the transport troops had set off, and the returning people should arrive in about two hours, and there was not much food left in Qingshangli, so in order not to let the returning soldiers and civilians go hungry, the battalion commander and the acting village chief organized the people left behind to go into the mountains to collect food. Uncle Park, the former village head, left a message that if he sacrificed, Xiao Cui, who had read for two years, would act as the village head, but he didn't expect the will to be fulfilled in just two days. Xiao Cui is worthy of Uncle Park's favorite, and soon organized the masses to enter the mountain with the soldiers left behind in our battalion. The battalion commander and I led the team separately, and wild vegetables and fruits, pheasants, wild boars, and wild roe deer were the goals of our trip. Regardless of the harvest, it was agreed that two hours later it would be necessary to return to the battalion headquarters to assemble. The harvest of the soldiers and civilians of my team was not bad, but I, the instructor, were empty-handed, and if I returned with this result, it would be really ugly, so I decided to try my luck in the depths of the mountains. Without the guards noticing, I slipped into a bush and completely broke away from the group. Seeing that it was almost 2 hours, and I had to go back anyway, I muttered, deserting without permission and not returning to the team on time, I, the instructor, must do a self-review at the party branch meeting, which is too embarrassing. But the more anxious I was, the stranger the road in front of me became, and I was lost! When I was in a panic, I suddenly saw an old man in Tsing Yi standing on the dirt bag not far away, and I hurriedly stepped forward to ask for directions, "This old comrade, I am lost, do you know how to go down the mountain and return to Qingshangli?" This old man has thick eyebrows, a high nose and broad ears, and under his dignified lips, a goatee is trimmed without flaws, and he looks like a man of sixty or seventy years old, exuding an elegant temperament, and it is hard to imagine how graceful he must have been when he was young. The old man smiled and chanted: "The piano and flute drums are no return, the pain and calamity are difficult to climb to the sky, and the Sansheng Stone is in the past, who is vain about misfortune and blessing?" Then he spread out his palms, and a brilliant red ball of fire grew from small to large, pulsing and floating in front of me, and suddenly exploded, and a red fox the size of an adult fell at my feet. I was stunned by what I saw, and I couldn't take a step when I wanted to run. The red fox shook its body and stood up, this body was like a flame of red hair, beautiful and suffocating, it turned around elegantly, facing the old man in green clothes, knelt down on one knee with its front legs, bowed its head, and actually opened its mouth to speak, "Xiaoxian Hu Lao Er saw the King of Equality, and thanked the King of Equality for his grace to return his soul." The old man turned his back and waved his hand gently. The red fox then stood up and turned around, looking up at me, squinting his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, as if he was smiling at me, and I was covered in a cold sweat, not knowing what was going to happen in a moment. "Instructor Qu" The big fox spoke again, and I was shocked that it actually knew my surname and position. "Instructor, don't be afraid, I'm Lao Pu, I won't hurt you." "Lao Pu? Uncle Park in Kiyosami? Village Chief Park? How did you become like this? I said aloud in shock. Instructor, don't be impatient, let me explain slowly, this time the Equality King of the Netherworld is here, and he has something to ask the instructor for help. "Netherworld? Equality King? I was confused when I listened, and the red fox saw that my face was full of questions, and continued: "I was originally a fox fairy in the northeast, and when the Korean War broke out, I was a little bit of a Tujia immortal in the middle of the Ming clan. There is another reason to come here, the drought in the southwest of the mountains is in the world, this drought is the god of ancient times, every 50 years, after the present world, thousands of miles of red land, North Korea and even the entire Northeast will have no harvest, starvation all over the ground. This is the way of heaven, in the past, in the face of this situation, the ten halls of Qin Guangwang will personally discuss with the drought, in order to seek that the righteous gods can restrain some magical powers and save the living beings, but this time it is the war, and the rations of the volunteer army cannot be negligent, and the ten halls decided to invite the secret treasure, and the fox clan in my northeast will come forward to suppress the drought. No, Xiaoxian was assigned by the clan to take on this important task. The day before yesterday, I was negligent, in order to save a boy who was destroyed by a bomb, and the suppression of the drought must be sacrificed to the human body, and the ten halls and the clan discussed, I can act on the body of the people in the yang world by me, I have thought about it several times, only the instructor can be responsible for this important task. "I have been educated in communism all my life, and I don't believe in gods and ghosts, but this scene in front of me really happened in front of my eyes, although I don't understand what the fox said, but since it is related to the safety of all the volunteer soldiers, no matter the swords, fires, and tricks, I must also have the courage to face it. I said, "Thank you two immortals for your dedication to my volunteer soldiers, I don't know what you need me to do?" The fox spoke: "The instructor knows that if you agree to what we want, it will be difficult to enjoy the warmth and coldness of the world from now on." I said: "After listening to what Uncle Park said, I already know that the two of you need my life to complete the important task, and since I joined the Communist Party of China, my personal honor and disgrace have long been put aside, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the nation, what is it worth taking my life." After listening to my words, the old man in Tsing Yi, who had been silent, laughed, turned around and said to me with a smile: "Nearly a thousand years later, I can see a person who is as generous as Wu Mu for his family and country, please accept my land affairs view." Then he clasped his hands into fists and bowed to me. I didn't know what to do, so I had to follow the old man's example to return the salute, the old man got up and said to the red fox: "The second child of the Hu family, you send the righteous man back, the follow-up matters will be handled by my ten halls, just concentrate on the Fa." "Righteous man, please take care, I will take the first step, and when he talks about it again in the future, let me thank the immortal family again." After the old man finished speaking to me, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared with the wind. After the red fox knelt down and sent the old man to get up, he led the way to send me down the mountain, and it said while walking: "The king of equality still has two things to ask me to tell the instructor, one is that I am waiting for this trip to suppress the drought, it is really a vicious battle, we must be prepared, the ten halls of yin have put the secret treasure "Eight Arrays" under the instructor's pillow, the evening after tomorrow, I will be the instructor, before the instructor must read this picture, not to understand, only for the effect of running-in." "It's not difficult, I'll do it, but what about the other thing?" I asked. "There is another thing that even Xiaoxian can't understand, I can only repeat the original words of the King of Equality, he said: Please write down what you have seen and heard today in detail on a piece of paper, and do not tell others, the Ten Palaces will deal with the content of the record, so that it will not be seen by irrelevant people. His descendants are short-lived, and after the drought is over, there is no need to send the secret treasure back to the ten halls, and leave it to the righteous people, or you can ensure that his descendants are thoughtful, and the right is a thank you gift for my immortal family, and there is a place where the righteous must be written down on paper, and he has his own theory. "Uncle Park sent me to the edge of the woods and left, the battalion headquarters made a mess of porridge in order to find me, and when he saw me coming back, the battalion commander did not blame me, and asked me not to work, but to go back to the dormitory to rest. I thanked the battalion commander and went back to my room, where there was a strange book under my pillow. The two-plus hour experience changed my outlook on life, but in any case, I was very happy to know that there are so many people from the unknown world helping us in the battle. It's already eleven o'clock in the evening, and in accordance with the instructions of King Equality, I have already written down everything that happened just now, by the way, there is also an address: Lu Mansion at the southern foot of Qiyao Mountain in Fengdu City, Sichuan Province.
After reading the diary, Luo Kang was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground, Chen Zhiyu wiped his tears and said: "I didn't expect the fighting life of the volunteers to be so hard, our grandfather is really admirable." Luo Kang listened to Chen Zhiyu saying that he was not on the channel, and briefly asked Chen Zhiyu what he read, if he really couldn't see the part of the big fox of the Equal King, it must be that the people of the Ten Halls cast some kind of spell on the diary, and only people who are closely related to grandpa can see it. Luo Kangche experienced the magic of the immortal family once, and his outlook on life was completely subverted like his grandfather. "Since Chen Zhiyu can't see it, I'd better not tell him for the time being, don't make any trouble for him." Luo Kang thought to himself.
"Xiao Chen, tomorrow I plan to go far away, the store will be closed, give you a long vacation, go where you like." Luo Kang has already made up his mind to go to Fengdu, and he firmly believes that this trip will be very rewarding.
"Boss, you just take me away, I have nothing to do when I'm idle, if it's convenient for you." Chen Zhiyu said to Luo Kang with a lewd smile on his face.
When Luo Kang saw Chen Zhiyu's expression, he knew what dirty picture appeared in this kid's head, thinking about the two of them walking and taking care of each other, when it was really time for him to do something serious, he would have to get rid of him. "Okay, you go back and pack your things, I'll book tomorrow's ticket, let's go to the airport together tomorrow, and send me your ID number." "Well, boss, you're so good, I'll send it to you now." Chen Zhiyu was so happy that he went home to pack his things.
Luo Kang looked at the store, didn't know whether this trip was a blessing or a curse, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lin Zi's number.
