Chapter 26: The Past of the Li Family (1)

My mother took the pendant and looked at it repeatedly for a moment, then looked at me with a suspicious face:

"Did you really pick it up?"

First, the piece my mother picked up was indeed the one I took out of the tomb, and second, I had to set my mother's words, so I nodded firmly:

"I really picked it up, didn't I accompany Qiu Yan and them to Dong'ergou to fish yesterday? Who knew that such a thing would come out when you touched it, Mom, what is this, look at you like that, as if you know it? ”

My mother handed me the pendant, sighed and said:

"Hey, I originally had such a piece when I was a child, and then your grandmother ······ Forget it, let's not talk about it. But it's weird to say, you really look like mine, I thought there was just that in the world! ”

I said in my heart that it was not just you, I thought there was only one piece!

I saw that my mother wanted to stop talking, and when it came to my grandmother, I didn't go any further, so I urged:

"Mom, don't say it, I just want to hear the story of when you were a child!"

Although I am very calm on the surface, in fact, my heart is turning over at the moment, my grandfather was originally a mystery, through this tortoiseshell, I know what my mother knows, and now, I know from my mother's words that my grandmother is also involved, what kind of fucking family is this!

My grandmother is a very ordinary rural woman, I heard my mother say that my grandmother suffered from a disease at an early age, before my mother, my grandmother also gave birth to two sons, but unfortunately one died in childbirth, and the other died at the age of two or three.

Other than that, I didn't know what special experiences my grandmother had, what I did know was that my grandfather never let my grandmother do heavy work, and even when she went to the field, my grandfather would only let my grandmother sow seeds and sprinkle fertilizer.

Under my repeated pleas, my mother sat down with the tortoiseshell and slowly told me what had happened:

That was when my mother was very young, and at that time, my great-grandfather was still alive, and his name was Li Yishui.

According to my mother, although the days were hard at that time, because my grandfather had a "special" ability, so their family lived fairly well in the local area, at that time, my mother, who was still a little girl, liked to do the most every day, was to wait at the entrance of the village and wait for my grandfather to come back, because every time he came back, he would bring my mother some small gifts such as candy rattles.

But once, when my grandfather came back not only without a gift, but also with a body injury, he was supported by his grandfather.

My mother said that after my grandfather came back, he lay in bed for half a month before recovering, and the first thing he did after recovery was to pull my mother to let her learn skills.

My mother was not sensible, and my grandfather's mood was not good during that time, my grandmother was busy taking care of my grandfather on the one hand, and she had to enlighten my grandfather on the other, so my grandfather took advantage of my grandmother's absence to pull my mother to learn this and that.

As I said before, my great-grandfather had a younger brother and a younger sister, at that time, it was during the Liberation War, and my great-grandfather's younger brother took his family to support the People's Liberation Army, and my sister also married to other places, so there were few people in the whole family who could accompany my great-grandfather to relieve his boredom.

In this way, my mother studied with my great-grandfather for a while.

However, the good times did not last long, and my grandmother finally discovered the secret of the grandfather and grandson, so she pulled my mother to cry and make a fuss, saying that my great-grandfather was not a good thing, and he came to harm his granddaughter after harming his son.

My mother didn't know why, she just held my grandmother's face and told her not to cry, and my great-grandfather was also patiently persuaded on the side.

At this time, grandpa heard the voice and came out, he looked at the three of them and asked what was going on, who knew that Grandpa Zeng just snorted at his grandfather and entered the house, and then he didn't come out no matter how noisy it was.

This time, although my mother still didn't quite understand, she also realized that Grandpa Zeng was angry with Grandpa.

After that, although my great-grandfather still went out often, but rarely took my grandfather, my mother said that she remembered several times when my grandfather prepared his luggage, but every time his great-grandfather threw his grandfather's luggage back, and finally left alone.

I was a little confused, so I asked my mom what these things had to do with tortoise shells.

My mom said don't worry, it's about to talk about tortoise shells!

It turned out that after this, every time my grandfather came back, he would quietly pull my mother to teach me the knowledge of yin and yang gossip, but I didn't expect my mother to be so talented and intelligent that the more she learned, the more she could learn.

Once, my grandfather took out the tortoise shell and the codex and said that he wanted to pass these things to my mother, and strangely enough, my grandfather did this in front of my grandparents.

Of course, my grandmother objected, saying that my mother is a girl, so what's the use of learning this? also said that Grandpa Zeng's things are all harmful things, and she has such a daughter left, does Grandpa Zeng want to harm her family before she is satisfied?

Then my grandfather also stood up against it, and the reasons for opposing it were basically the same as my grandmother's, but there was one more reason.

My mother said that she remembered very well that my grandfather knelt in front of my grandfather and said that he was scared last time and would never make such a mistake again.

At that time, Grandpa Zeng replied like this:

Since you have entered this trip, you must always be mentally prepared, I am still your father, if I am an outsider, will I not be killed by you? I'm not at ease to pass these things on to you!

When I heard this, I thought to myself, what did my grandfather do wrong? So I asked my mother.

My mother said that she was young at the time, so she could only watch from the sidelines and did not dare to ask, and my grandmother resolutely stopped it, so my mother never asked about it.

Later, her grandfather asked her to wear the tortoise shell for a few days and then asked for the tortoise shell, and finally gave it to her grandfather.

My mother said such a big thing, and she didn't get to the point at all, but it brought up a question, that is, what mistakes did my grandfather make back then, so that my grandfather was so angry?

"Mom, speaking of which, you don't know what's so special about this tortoise shell?" I asked, somewhat disappointed.

My mom smiled and said:

"Your great-grandfather gave me a lot of small gifts, but I lost them, and I only remembered these when I saw this pendant, son, you still can't realize it, but that piece of tortoise shell is the only thing I have anything to do with your great-grandfather!"

My mom was lost in memory as she spoke, and a doting smile spread across her face, like a little girl who had received candy from her grandfather.

I thought to myself that this is all my mother knows, and it seems that if I want to know a little deeper, I will have to pass my grandmother's level.

My grandmother, like everybody's grandmother, would think that I was wandering away from her, and it was as if my mother's house was a concentration camp, and I was abused at my mother's house.

"Oh, hey, our family is wood, why are you thin again!" This is the first thing my grandmother has said every time she has seen her in the past 20 years, even if I only met her three days ago.

And, no matter how much I explained to her what a healthy diet was, she thought that the fattest meat and the sweetest juice were what I needed the most.

The worst thing is that when I go to my grandmother's house, my feelings are invalid, only my grandmother can decide how much I wear to be warm, and how much I eat to be full!

So every time I went to my grandmother's house, I had to go through a hard inner struggle, even now.

My grandmother's house is not far from my house, I can go back and forth in a morning, I have already been there once today, and I thought that I would have to go again in a few days anyway, and I would have to pull my mother, otherwise, I would have to die at my grandmother's house.

In this way, I was bored at home for a few days, and after a week, I took my mother and went to my grandmother's house again on the pretext of taking her back to her mother's house.

When the two sides meet, they first greet each other, and then count each other, complaining that the other party has not taken care of themselves, which is an inherent routine.

After lunch, we gathered around my dozing grandfather and pulled up the parents.

I listened patiently to my mother and grandmother talking about the family affairs of the neighbors and friends, but after listening for a while, I found that the two of them were getting farther and farther apart, and my mother seemed to have forgotten the purpose of the trip, so I took out the tortoise shell and asked my grandmother what was the matter.

Grandma was stunned for a moment, put on an angry look, and said:

"Didn't you ask before? I said, I don't know! ”

I looked at my mom and winked at her, and she said:

"Mom, don't hide it, didn't you wear it for me once when I was a child? Look at this piece, it was picked up by Zimu from Robber's Bay, and it is exactly the same as the one that Ye has, there must be something strange in it, just talk about it! ”

My grandmother glared at my mother, and suddenly stretched out her finger and poked my mother on the forehead, saying:

"A dead girl, you are still plagued by that old thing, you two mothers and sons, why are you both virtuous, and the others don't care, so you are interested in this matter?"

My mother turned around and complained:

"It's not that I blame you, why don't you stop me like that? Maybe I'm not interested yet! ”

Grandma shook her head and said:

"Okay, I'll tell you about it, so I can let you hear what happens if you get into these things!"

After that, my grandmother told such a thrilling past:

My grandmother's name is Wang Xiumei, and in that turbulent era, I was introduced to my grandfather Li Shoude.

Although Wang Xiumei had long known that Li Shoude and his father Li Yishui were famous gods in the neighborhood, at that time, there was no resistance to this kind of feudal thinking as much as now, and Li Yishui also had a younger brother who was keen on the great cause of the nation, so Wang Xiumei agreed to this family business.

Before getting married, Li Shoude, like all male youths, especially likes to show off his strengths, he told Wang Xiumei that he not only knows how to read feng shui and calculate gossip, but also pinching his fingers to find things and drive away evil spirits.

Of course Wang Xiumei didn't believe it, saying that it was all feudal superstition, unless Li Shoude proved it to her.

Li Shoude immediately patted his chest and shouted:

"Proof is prove, you wait!"

One day, Li Shoude hurriedly found Wang Xiumei and said Don't you want to prove it? Follow me, and I'll prove it to you!

Wang Xiumei followed Li Shoude out of the door in disbelief, walked for a long time to take a look, and found that Li Shoude had taken her to a ruined temple.

At that time, it was already evening, and someone could still be heard whimpering and crying in the temple, and Wang Xiumei's heart suddenly became furious.
