Chapter 144: Six Grandfathers
"No, no, no, you're not the right age?"
I suddenly realized the loophole in her words, that is, if the old grandfather had been out for a year when his six apprentices were thirteen or fourteen years old, then the other six babies would be at most fourteen or fifteen years old from them.
It stands to reason that if the woman in front of me was really one of the six babies, she would have been fifteen years younger than my grandmother.
Then she should be in her sixties now!
How can a woman in her sixties look the same as a woman in her thirties?
This is not even Liu Xiaoqing!
She seemed to have expected me to think like this, so she just smiled gently, "Master's technique, there are too many unbelievable places, I can only tell you that what I just told you is true." β
If this is all true...
Then the woman in front of me is my other grandmother, if you exclude the influence of the acquired environment on them, their original personality and most of their memories should be exactly the same.
However, acquired influences cannot be ruled out.
Thinking of this, she once again guessed what I was thinking, and said softly, "Actually, I hate this feeling very much. Since I was a child, my mind was chaotic, and every day I lived like hell, and there were always some inexplicable sounds and images that forced into my mind all the time. β
She reached out and touched my chin again, and continued, "It wasn't until I grew up that I didn't know that my life didn't belong to me. Can you imagine what kind of memories I have, I got married when I was a few years old, and I already had my first son when I was just out of school. Before I finished elementary school, I had another child. By the time I was in high school, I had a granddaughter. β
I can completely understand what he said, because of my grandfather's magic, everything my grandmother has been going through has been continuously instilled into the brain of the woman in front of me.
All the time, everything I saw and heard, not a second was wrong.
Wu Yan, this kind of life has lasted for more than 60 years. It wasn't until the day she passed away that I really had my own life, and I no longer had to be forced to accept the feelings and memories that others gave me. β
I'm afraid that such a life is not qualified to be called a life.
One of the most precious things in a person's life is the experiences and the memories that those experiences bring to him.
For more than 60 years, your own life has become a mess because of the memories imposed on you, and if you can't do anything well, you may be regarded as crazy by others, and maybe even quiet down and read a book has become a complete luxury.
If I were this woman, I would hate my grandfather so much.
So I nodded slightly, because from the inside, I felt her pain, "I understand that this life must be very uncomfortable. Over the years, I have wronged you. β
"Nope." She pinched my face again, and I remember it was my grandma's favorite move.
"I wasn't aggrieved at all, because later I slowly learned to give up my life, began to care about Huahai's life, learned to be happy for her happiness, and sad for her pain. And most importantly, I have so many good children and grandchildren, and I am actually very happy. β
Unbelievable, she has everything my grandma has.
Then we stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the stone chamber fell silent for a long time, during which time I remembered that I had a lot to ask her, but I had to start with the basics.
"What, what's your name? You don't have the same name as my grandmother, do you? β
She smiled and shook her head playfully, "How is it possible, my surname is He, and my name is He Lingling." β
"So, are you married?"
He Lingling smiled again and shook her head, "How can I get married in that mental state, everyone wants to hide away when they see me, I'm a crazy person who has been called a madman for almost ten years." β
I know that there is an unknown amount of pain hidden in such understatements.
"Then why are you protecting Qin Huai?" I asked.
This is one thing I am very curious about, my grandmother and Qin Huai don't know each other at all, and their cognition of her is only "I have a very good female colleague." β
"Actually, since my parents passed away, I have been living in the county near Huahai and them, which is the county where your aunt lives. It wasn't until after Hanahai's death that I mustered up the courage to approach you, because I couldn't bear it, even though her life was just a movie that never stopped playing in my mind. β
It dawned on me, "Oh! Have you been following me! β
"That's right, I followed you up to Cunzi Mountain, saw you dig the jar, and followed you to Rentougou, that is, at that time I saw Qin Huai, and at that time I made up my mind that my granddaughter-in-law and grandson could not be separated because of a few scales."
I quickly clarified, "It's not my granddaughter-in-law, she and I are just ordinary colleagues." β
"Yes, ordinary colleague, you ran all over the world for her?"
"Isn't that a good relationship..."
I was embarrassed to death, but He Lingling didn't seem to plan to continue teasing me, so she continued: "The scales under her ribs are indeed because of Gu, but it is not an incurable disease, so I took her away at that time." β
"Is she okay now?" I asked.
"Okay, if you don't worry about whether she is the original Qin Huai or not, then she is indeed fine."
To be honest, how could I not be entangled, I am still struggling with myself and I am no longer the original self.
He Lingling saw that my face was ugly, and probably guessed that I was struggling with this, so she said: "Actually, it's not difficult, those black shadows are not black shadows at all." It's just that they look like a dark shadow in your eyes, and in fact their name is Earth Spirit. β
"Soil elves?"
He Lingling nodded, "Yes, do you know the ancient beasts?" β
"I've heard it once!"
Once in Longhuan Cave, I heard Chen Donghan talk about an ancient beast combination, and the news about Fenghe Cave was still from that book!
"Soil spirits are actually humanoid meat balls with the same precise structure as the human body, and they have been surrounding the "sting" for thousands of years, because this is the only way to survive, and according to legend, the earth spirits are formed by the bacteria in the breath. The place we are in is not just a burial hall, this was once a beast palace, but it has been transformed. β
ββThere are many golden jade trees on the mountain. There is a beast, its shape is like a cow and the head is white, and the eyes are snake's tail, and its name is called the dragon. If you walk in water, you will be exhausted, if you walk in grass, you will die, and if you see it, there will be a great epidemic in the world.
This sentence comes from the Dongshan Classic of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Probably this means that there is a beast that looks like a bull's head and is white, with only one eye and a snake-like tail.
Wherever it goes, the water dries up, the plants die, and the sight of it can even cause a plague.
