There were many dishes that Deng Yuhao had never seen on the European-style table, and he was already hungry, so he ate them without style. Sima and Li Tao didn't put their minds on the dishes because of the discussion just now, and their eyes always revolved around the Ling family.

"What? Is the dish not appetizing? Ling Xuezhi's mother couldn't help but ask when she saw the expressions of the two.

"Oh no, it's delicious." Li Tao said.

Deng Yuhao on the side also saw what the two were thinking, and said, "Don't worry about them, he usually doesn't eat either." ”

"Don't eat? So what to eat? All the people looked at Deng Yuhao.

"Eat your heart, the two of them are the most." Deng Yuhao said naturally.

Ling Jianan and Lu Meiyao smiled bitterly, their son didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and neither of them could be happy. Sima and Li Tao understood Deng Yuhao's feelings, so they didn't care, thinking that it was better to concentrate on eating.

At this time, the sound of cars was heard outside.

"It should be that Dad is here, you eat first, and I'll take a look." Lu Meiyao walked outside the house.

Ling Jianan also put down his chopsticks and said, "My father is a soldier and speaks very straight, don't mind later." ”

The three of them answered a few words, and then they all put down their chopsticks and walked to the living room.

When I walked to the living room, an old man with gray hair, a black trench coat and a velvet hat was already sitting on the sofa. On the old man's head is a full-body portrait of Ling Xuezhi. Ling Xuezhi above should only be ten years old, standing on the road with a smile.

"Dad, didn't you tell you not to smoke?" Ling Jianan sat down next to his father and said.

The old man ignored him, and the cigarette in his hand was still in his mouth and smoked, Ling Jianan knew that his father was blaming himself for not taking good care of Ling Xuezhi, so he also sat down and introduced Deng Yuhao and the three of them to his father.

Old man Ling didn't say anything when he listened to Ling Jianan's introduction, but his eyes stopped when he swept over Deng Yuhao, and the soldier's sharp eyes did not diminish because of the passage of time, and Deng Yuhao was a little uncomfortable.

"Grandpa, is there something wrong with me?" Deng Yuhao asked.

"I think you look familiar." The old man said.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Deng Yuhao is Ling Xuezhi's classmate, how could you have met. Ling Jianan thought that his father was old and confused.

"I said I've seen it, I've seen it, and you're embarrassed to talk to me if you lost your son." The old man's anger was really shocking. Ling Canaan naturally didn't dare to refute anything.

"Your name is Deng Yuhao, is your grandfather Deng Ang, nicknamed Bench?" The old man said.

Deng Yuhao was surprised and said, "How do you know? "Everyone didn't expect that Deng Yuhao's grandfather and Ling Xuezhi's grandfather had a relationship, but they were generals of the republic. Li Tao and Sima immediately glanced at Deng Yuhao.

"Hmph, a big traitor, who doesn't know?" The old man's indifferent words made Deng Yuhao's face red, and when he looked at Li Tao and Sima both of them, they almost laughed, and they didn't dare to look at people squarely.

"But the affairs of the older generation, you little ones don't matter, as long as you study hard and serve the motherland in the future, the people will forgive you." The old man extinguished his cigarette butt and said

Li Tao patted Deng Yuhao's shoulder and said solemnly: "Change it well, we will forgive you." ”

Deng Yuhao turned his head to stare at him, but Li Tao said again: "What, the traitor still dares to call injustice?" Deng Yuhao just didn't hear anything, no wonder when his grandfather was still alive, he didn't usually play with his peers, it turned out that there was such a reason, which made Deng Yuhao very unhappy.

"What did you ask me to do?" The old man said.

Ling Jianan couldn't answer, so Sima immediately picked up: "Grandpa, I want to know a little bit about the Ling family's ancestors, have you heard of how that 'Death Stone' came to your house?" ”

"I don't know."

The old man seems to be particularly disgusted by questioning, in fact, this is the habit of the previous generation of soldiers, except for the party and the people, the enemy does not know if he is killed. But this made Sima a little embarrassed, thinking that Ling Jianan must have suffered a lot of grievances when he was a child.

At this time, the old man took out a shabby yellowed notebook and said, "This is the genealogy of our family, you see." With that, he threw it on the table in front of him.

"Genealogy? Dad, how did I not know? Ling Canaan said.

"Hmph, the person who doesn't look down on your own son still lets you hold the family tree?" The old man once again taught Ling Canaan a lesson.

Ling Jianan knew that he was at a loss, so he took care of himself and flipped through the notebook and looked at it, and after reading a few pages, he said with a strange face: "How come? Dad, you're not mistaken, there's nothing on it. ”

"That's why I said I don't know." The old man said as a matter of course.

Sima took the notebook and looked at it, except for the paper on it for some years, he didn't see half a word. Deng Yuhao glanced at it a few times, and the result was the same, but he suddenly remembered something and said, "Li Tao, take a look." ”

Li Tao picked it up and slowly read each page, everyone thought he had found something, but it took ten minutes before he said, "I can't see anything either." ”

"Trouble, I can't see the cutscene that has been on the scene for so long." The old man was a little impatient.

"I'll go up and sleep, Ling Canaan, if I don't see Ah Zhi in three days, you will never see me." After the old man finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs.

"Hey ......" Ling Jianan sighed deeply, he was also a little overwhelmed by so much pressure.

When Li Tao saw this scene, he wanted to say something, but was pinched by Deng Yuhao's thigh. I had no choice but to give up. Looking at Ling Jianan again, it seemed that he had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Ling Xuezhi's mother asked Xiaoxi to take Deng Yuhao and them back to the room to rest, while she sat next to her husband and sighed. When he went up to the corner of the stairs, Deng Yuhao glanced back and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoxi asked.

Deng Yuhao turned around and continued to walk up, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm too tired, a little distracted." ”

Ling Xuezhi's family has fifteen guest rooms alone, Deng Yuhao thought, I am my house at this time, I will rent him out, one room is one thousand yuan a month, fifteen rooms a month is fifteen thousand, then I will not be a rich man in a few years? I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about it.

Xiaoxi took them to their respective rooms and went downstairs, and after he left, the three of them pushed the door out at the same time and squeezed into Deng Yuhao's room.

Sima couldn't wait to ask Li Tao: "What do you see written on it?" ”

"There's really no word." Li Tao said.

"Then you're still watching for a long time?" Deng Yuhao was so angry that he almost strangled him.

"There are no words, but there are patterns." Li Tao added.

"Oh, what's that?" Sima asked.

"There are three paintings in it, the first one shows a woman with a disheveled head, she points to a face with huge eyes above her left hand, and there is a human face in the eye, and she is holding a glowing object in her right hand, which should refer to the 'Death Stone', and there is a man on the far left of the picture, but this man only has an upper body, and there are three other men sitting cross-legged as if watching a play."

"The second painting is still a man and a woman, but this time the woman is on the left side of the man, and they seem to be going somewhere, and the lower half of the man's body also appears, but his face is the terrifying face on the top of the first one."

"The third picture ......" Li Tao suddenly stopped.

"How about the third picture?" Sima asked.

"The third picture shows a man standing, but there are many corpses underneath him, all of them a man and a woman, holding hands, back to back, and something like a sword passes through their bodies."

After listening to Li Tao's description, Sima pondered carefully. But Deng Yuhao said slowly: "I have seen the third picture. ”
