Lao Lin Tou is now in his fifties, and he will retire in a few years, and my grandmother is over 90 years old, according to age, Lao Lin Tou has to call my grandmother aunt, when my grandmother married to Dongting Lake, Lao Lin Tou was not born yet, I really don't understand how he met my grandmother.

"Master, do you know my grandmother?" I asked right away.

Lao Lin took two puffs of cigarette, and said, "Hey, I can't talk about acquaintance, I just heard my father talk about it, but she came back once, and I saw her sick at that time, and I thought she had died a long time ago!" ”

"Been back? Back to Linfeng Farm? "I thought to myself that if Lao Lin Tou saw my grandmother come back, it would be nearly thirty years, and if I said that, my parents should know, and even if they didn't know, my grandmother should know, but they never mentioned it.

"Yes, it should be seven or seven years or seven or eight years, I saw her in the back camellia nest when I was hunting, I remember that she was with Uncle Shui at that time, and there was a girl next to her." Old Lin Tou said while reminiscing.

The Uncle Shui mentioned by Lao Lin Tou is my great-grandfather Li Yishui, who died in the 80s, so according to the inference of time, what Lao Lin Tou said is right, but who is the girl next to his grandmother?

My mom? No way, my mom said she had never seen my grandmother.

My grandmother? It's impossible, Lao Lin Tou knows my grandmother, if it was her, Lao Lin Tou would say it directly.

Who else could that be? There is no one else around my grandmother, only Huang Yueling, is Huang Yueling still some immortal monster?

"Master, do you know what she came back for? Also, who is the girl next to her? ”

Lao Lin Tou glanced at me and said angrily: "You have your grandmother on the left and your grandmother on the right, aren't you very close to her?" She didn't tell you? ”

I glanced at Da Li, who was snoring like thunder beside me, I had been worried about him just now, so I didn't say a lot of things, but now I saw that he was already asleep, and I relaxed and told Lao Lin Tou about what I had experienced this year.

After hearing this, the old man Lin knocked his pipe on the side of the bed, and then sighed heavily, "Hey, Zimu, I told you a long time ago that dealing with dead people is not so easy, you look at this matter, how can you let me rest assured!" ”

Listening to the old Lin Tou's long sigh, I was very moved, I think the reason why I rushed to see him after returning home was because he was the only one who was completely on my side, and I could speak freely to him, in this year, I took too much care of it, and only by the old Lin Tou's side, I dared to say everything unsuspectingly.

"Hey, no matter what, I've come this far, and I can't stop at this time, otherwise, my life and Qiu Yan's life won't last long. Master, tell me what you saw back then. What do you hear? ”

Lao Lin Tou sighed again, and then said: "I also took a look at it at the time, and then I met Uncle Shui once asked, and he told me that it was his sister, and I don't know about the rest." ”

After listening to it, I thought about it carefully, my grandmother came back rarely, and met with Zeng Wai in the back mountain, she definitely didn't want to show off the market, since she didn't want to show off the market, it was for the ulterior matter, so the old Lin Tou didn't know and could understand.

"So," I continued, "what was she like?" Why do you say she's sick? Also, do you know the girl next to her? ”

"This~~~ What do you want me to say, she was also in her sixties at the time, dry and thin, with a face as dry as tree bark, and she had to be supported by someone when she walked, what else could you say if she wasn't sick? The girl who helped her, I don't know, I guess I'm eighteen or nineteen years old! ”

"Eighteen or nineteen?" I quickly took out my mobile phone, then flipped out a photo and handed it to Lao Lin Tou, "Master, look, is the girl you are talking about?" ”

The photo I showed to Lao Lin Tou was Huang Yueling's, and this photo was taken on Brother Zeng's boat when we went to Poyang Lake.

Lao Lin Tou put the mobile phone in front of his eyes and squinted at the old man for a long time.

"Who is this? Girlfriend out there? ”

"Hehe, Master, you just don't care about this, just say it's her, right?"

Lao Lin Tou threw the mobile phone over, and said angrily: "That girl is about the same age as your mother, do you say she?" ”

"Oh, Master, you just said that it doesn't look like it!"

"Not like! Not at all, not that tall, not so thin! Old Lin replied dryly.

Not Huang Yueling? That is someone else, could it be someone else who has received the favor of the Jiang family? Will my grandmother take such a person back to her hometown? I wondered.

In addition, the state of my grandmother at that time was also different from what I saw, if my grandmother had to be supported when she walked, what should she become after 30 years? Even if she is still alive, she probably won't be able to walk, but if you look at my grandmother now, I believe that she is about the same age as Lao Lintou!

So, what is the reason why my grandmother has changed from the way she was at the beginning to the way she is now?

"Master, don't blame me for being suspicious, I see that my grandmother is doing well now, chopping wood and cooking without delay, could it be that you were wrong back then, you mistook others for my grandmother?"

Lao Lin Tou shook his head, "Anyway, your great-grandfather told me that it was her sister Li Yili, as for whether he would lie to me, I don't know." ”

It's really hard to say, my great-grandfather is a god, and in that era, if Lao Lin Tou meets someone he usually doesn't meet with someone who is usually inconvenient, it is also possible for Grandpa Zeng to make up a nonsense to deceive him.

"Okay," Lao Lin Tou suddenly said at this time, "Don't say it, go to bed early, and go to patrol the mountain with Lao Tzu tomorrow!" ”

After the old Lin Tou finished speaking, he rolled up the quilt and shrunk to the side to sleep.

There have always been only two beds in this observatory, because there are only two people on duty, and today I am alone, so I have to squeeze into the old Lin Tou bed.

The old forest told me at night is too curious, I tossed and turned all night did not fall asleep, the next morning, the old forest head pulled me to patrol the mountain, in fact, there is no need to patrol the mountain in winter, at this time the mountain is full of snow, that is, you want to set fire can not put it, this time the mountain patrol is to see if there are poachers, but now the days are better, who will come to poach in this cold winter wax moon days, so the old forest head said that the mountain patrol is just a casual walk.

After returning from patrolling the mountain, Da Li made breakfast, and we ate and chatted, and one morning passed.

In the evening, Da Li drove me home, and repeatedly agreed with me to wait for his wedding wine before going out, and I smiled and agreed.

While having dinner at home, I asked my mother curiously, "Mom, what is the tea tree nest on the mountain behind me, and how do I remember that you took me once?" ”

My mother replied: "The tea tree nest is the former tea tree ditch, that is your grandfather's hometown, your grandfather lived in the tea tree ditch before he moved to the three brigades, and he took you there to worship the ancestral grave, don't you remember?" ”

I shook my head, "I don't remember, I remember you went behind my back once." Who are they buried there? ”

"Hehe, there are many people buried, your grandfather's grandfather and grandmother, and your great-grandfather's grandfather and grandmother are buried there."

"Then why haven't you been there since?"

"In the deep mountains and old forests, there is no road, who is still going, if it wasn't for your grandfather to go last time, I wouldn't be too lazy to go! No, why do you ask this? ”

"Hehe, it's nothing, I'll ask you if I chatted with Master today about the tea tree nest."

After dinner, our family watched TV around the fire pit, I don't know why, after talking to my mother, the name of the tea tree nest always dangled in my head, I thought that if my grandfather didn't lie to Lao Lin Tou, he and my grandmother must have chosen to meet there for a purpose.

......

The days of the New Year are very joyful, regardless of men, women and children, at this time, even if you squeeze your head, you have to rush home and have a harmonious New Year with your family.

In the past few days, I have met many former classmates, and some playmates who usually play well, and before I know it, I will reach the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Thirty-one years later, the sixth day of the first month is the day of Da Li's wedding, and when he was eating and drinking, Lao Lintou also came.

After the banquet, Lao Lin Tou said that he wanted to go back, I asked him where he was going, and he said angrily that of course he was going back to the mountain.

I said why are you in a hurry to go back at this time, and no one cares about you.

Old Lin Tou glanced at me and said, "What if something happens?" ”

I said, isn't there another person? Da Li is on vacation when he gets married, so he should let another person be on top!

Lao Lin Tou sighed, "Hey, that baby is not the material for this business, and he asked for leave to go out to play a year ago." ”

"Then you're not alone?" I asked in surprise.

"What's wrong with a person? In the past, when Da Li and you didn't come, didn't I live alone in the mountains! ”

To be honest, I was a little distressed to let Lao Lintou go to the deep mountain alone, and besides, the watchtower was not very far from the tea tree nest, and I immediately wanted to go up the mountain with Lao Lintou.

Lao Lin didn't wait for me to continue to persuade him, changed his clothes and went out.

After I went home, I told my parents about the situation, saying that I couldn't bear to let Master live alone in the mountains, and decided to go up and stay with him for two days, anyway, Qiu Yan was not in a hurry for me to go back.

My parents agreed on the spot, so I packed up and chased after the old forest.

Old Lin Tou couldn't drive, so he could only walk, and I caught up with him in less than half the way.

After Lao Lin Tou saw me, although he scolded and scolded me, saying that I shouldn't go up the mountain with him, saying that I finally came back and should accompany my family well, but I couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth when I saw him.

Back to the lookout, I turned out all the mountain goods hidden by Da Li, and told Lao Lin Tou that Da Li invited us to dinner, Lao Lin Tou laughed and said that these are all Da Li's tail goods, and they will be gone after eating.

I didn't bother to care if Da Li would be angry, anyway, I had already left when he was gone, and he couldn't find me if he wanted to get angry.

With a fire lit and a pot on the shelf, I asked Lao Lin Tou while making dinner, "Master, is that tea tree nest still going to be able to go?" I remember it's not too far from us! ”
