Chapter 18: An Inescapable Fate
Junjun sent "Xiaokui" downstairs to her house. By this time it was already getting dark, and the first stars near the moon poked their heads out and blinked.
"What's that, Xiaokui, I won't go up!"
"Hey! And just walked away......" "Xiao Kui" muttered as he looked at Junjun's back as he left in a hurry.
Go upstairs, open the door, take off your shoes. As soon as I entered the house, my father greeted him.
"Huh! It smells so big, how much have you drunk! Tell you to drink less and drink less...... The tea has already been brewed for you over there, so drink it while it's hot to relieve hangover. β
"Thank you Dad~ Dad has worked hard!" "Xiao Kui" opened his mouth cheaply, and then stepped on small steps in the direction of the coffee table.
"Let's rest early after drinking tea!"
"You...... Rest early after tea? Dad, you're so funny! β
"What's that! I drink a few glasses every day before bed......"
"So you can't sleep every night and wake up at night."
"It doesn't matter if I can't get up at night when I drink tea, even if I don't drink tea, I get up all night."
"Okay, okay, you're right, I'll go back to sleep!" Saying that, "Xiao Kui" got up and went back to the room - playing with his mobile phone!
"Aoi" thought to herself, "Go to bed so early? No way. The nightlife has just begun, stay up late at night and be the most beautiful boy! β
Early the next morning, "Xiaokui" was woken up by the sound of her mother sorting things out in the living room. In a fit of rage, he got up from the bed and prepared to go to the living room to find out.
Pushing open the bedroom door, I saw my mother sitting on the floor, surrounded by various old objects with a radius of one meter.
"Ahh Mom, what are you doing? What are you doing with all this old stuff? Got the house full of dust. "Aoi" is a little allergic to dust, and for a while he sneezed uncontrollably.
When my mother saw "Xiaokui" coming out, not only did she not feel distressed, she kept sneezing, but also beckoned "Xiaokui" to come forward to help tidy up. For a while, "Xiaokui" really doubted whether she was biological.
"These are all things left by your grandmother, they have always been in the ancestral house, and recently I heard that the ancestral house is going to be demolished, so I took these things over and sorted them out, to see if there is anything worth leaving as a souvenir......"
"Aoi" looked at the things on the ground, and then found a free spot to sit cross-legged. If you look closely, there are really a lot of interesting old objects, like these tiger head shoes, rattles and whatever, which are now rare.
Suddenly, "Aoi" was attracted by a diary on the ground. This is an A4 paper size book,The outer skin is also paper,On it, there are four big characters written on it"Work diary",There is a red line above and below the word,Roughly this is an ordinary diary,But because of the age,The diary is yellowed and flavoured,Let it look more enticing to open and explore the mysteryγ
"Xiao Aoi" picked up the diary and turned the first page, and was greeted by a row of familiar fonts......
Sunday, August 10, 1947 in the Gregorian calendar The weather was fine
I never imagined that one day I would also use a journal to reminisce about the past and record the present. Today is the first day you've left me, and I'm a little unaccustomed to life without you by my side. Xiaobao has been looking for his dad today, you see! He's also not used to life without you......
A few more pages back, and suddenly a yellowed black-and-white photograph slipped out of the diary. "Aoi" picked up the photo from the ground, held it in front of his eyes, and the moment he saw the front of the photo, his pupils shook, and his hands trembled. The woman in this photo is clearly herself!
There are two people in the photo, a man and a woman, both wearing military uniforms, and the woman is what she looked like in that time and space. Beside her stood a man half a head taller than her, with a lean figure and a grim and melancholy gaze. This man "Xiaokui" has the impression that he is clearly Zhang Awei, the son of Zhang Erye of Flying Tiger Village. But in the photo, his aura is oppressive, and he doesn't look stupid, which is very different from the Zhang Awei she knows.
"Xiaokui" looked at this photo and was stunned for a while.
"Mom, do you know who the two people in the photo are?" "Aoi" asked, pointing to the person in the photo.
"This is your grandmother and grandfather! Give me the picture, it's going to have to be put away! Mom snatched the photo from "Xiaokui", got up and took out the album from the drawer of the TV cabinet, and carefully put the photo inside.
"Mom, can you tell me the story of Grandma and Grandpa? I don't think I've heard you mention it much. Grandma and Grandpa also joined the army when they were young? β
Duan's mother packed up the photo album and walked to "Xiaokui" and sat down while thinking. β
"I really didn't mention it to you. I don't know much about your grandma and grandpa. Duan's mother thought about it and told what she remembered......
"When I was a child, I remember listening to my father, that is, your grandfather. It seems to say that your grandmother and grandfather have been ordered to be dolls since childhood, but then your grandfather went to study at the military academy and joined the army after graduation. After your grandmother got the news, she also followed, and the two of them fought together in the army and suffered a lot. Your grandfather's body was worn out from here, and he died less than two years after the victory in the war. β
"What about Grandma?"
"Your grandmother is still quite long, she lived for more than ninety years, and she left when I was more than six months pregnant with you. Because then your full moon wine was not put on the table. β
"Xiao Aoi" seemed to understand a little when she heard this. She guessed that the current plane and the plane she was on before were two parallel worlds. The historical events of these two worlds and the people everyone will meet in their lifetime will not change, so the final direction of these two worlds is the same. But other than that, the lives of two identical people in different time and space are different, and it is up to us to decide how to develop. There will also be some bugs in between, and the swap between her and the real Aoi soul is a kind of bug. If according to the development of this time and space, Xiao Kui of that time and space will also be with Ah Wei, then in what direction will they develop?
Duan's mother saw "Xiaokui" staring at the floor in a daze for a long time, so she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
"What do you want? It's so fascinating......"
"Xiaokui" shook her senses and looked at the curious mother in front of her.
"Nothing! Mom, I'm hungry and want to eat dumplings. β
"Okay, okay, I'll go and make dumplings for you!" Duan's mother doted on the tip of "Xiao Kui's" nose, and then walked towards the kitchen.
"Xiaokui" looked at her mother's back and had mixed feelings for a while.
I don't know what happened to the "me" of that plane? If these are true, can you accept life now? "Aoi" stood up and went back to her room to pack her belongings and prepare to go back to school tomorrow.
At the foot of the mountain outside the Flying Tiger Village, in a cave not far from the mountain stream.
