I've never seen my dad so panicked, and when I heard him say that, I immediately understood that this was a big deal! My dad also hurriedly led us towards the old house at the east end of the village, and soon came to the old house, and my dad kicked the door that was about to collapse to the ground, ignoring the night cats and wild dogs inside, and ignoring the weeds and dust on the ground, and rushed directly into the only house in the yard.

My dad was the first to go in, and Lin Yingxue and I also followed, and when we entered the house in front of us, which was absolutely covered with dust and cobwebs, we found that the house was spotless, although there was no furniture, but not even a single dust could be seen, it was even cleaner than my home.

Could it be that there have always been people living here before?

Thinking of this, I immediately took a closer look at the room, but I found that there was no trace of any inhabitation in this room at all, and there were no footprints on the smooth floor, which seemed to have been cleaned not long ago.

At the same time, I also found that on the open ground, in a corner, there was a palm-sized wooden board, on which seemed to be written with a brush the word 'one', I don't know what it meant, and at this time my father's eyes were staring at the board, and his face was gloomy and about to drip water.

Seeing this, I probably had already guessed something, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, you can't have hidden that secret here and been discovered, right?" ”

My dad turned his head slowly, and although he didn't speak, his eyes said it all, and I guessed it!

At this point, I was finally able to understand why my dad was so panicked, because I knew what this secret meant to my family, and if someone found out and taken away, what awaited our family would be an uncertain future!

I immediately rushed forward and walked to the wooden board, looked around carefully, and found that the bricks under the wooden board seemed to be loose, so I asked Lin Yingxue for a dagger and pried the bricks underneath to pry open them, only to find that there was a small hole under the bricks, but at this time the small hole was empty and there was nothing.

And sure enough, it was! I also became completely flustered after learning what had happened to us, I couldn't predict what our family was going to face next, but at the moment I just wanted to run away with my parents and escape to a place where no one would recognize us!

But the strange thing is that when I turned my head to look at my father, I found that although he was still very gloomy, he was not as flustered as I was, and it seemed that the matter in front of me was not as serious as I imagined.

"Dad? You have something to say! What do we do now? ”

My dad looked up at me and actually smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, if it's taken away, take it away, anyway, this thing was divided into three parts by me, and they don't have to be afraid to take one of them." ”

"Three? What's going on? ”

My dad sighed, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to me, just sat on the ground and told me in detail what was going on, maybe he didn't treat Lin Yingxue as an outsider, so he said it directly.

It turned out that the evidence that my father got was very complicated, if all of them were collected, then not only would it be very obstructive, but it might also be exposed, so he recorded all the evidence in the hard drive, and divided it into three hard drives, which were hidden in three places, this old house, is the place where one of the hard disks is hidden, although the hard disk has been taken away, but one less is actually not a big deal, but if all three copies are found, then the matter will be much more troublesome.

Hearing my dad say this, I suddenly became a little curious: "Dad, since you can hide it in the hard drive, why don't you make more copies just in case?" ”

"You think I don't want to? Now you seem to be living a very peaceful life, but in this village, some people you are familiar with, in fact, are actually spying on us at all, let alone copying hard drives, when you go to school, you go to the copy shop to print the exam materials, I think after you leave, someone will carefully search your materials, if I take the hard drive to copy, isn't this my own secret to them? ”

With that, my dad sighed and said, "I'm very curious now, how did they find out here?" ”

My dad asked this question, I immediately lowered my head a little ashamed, because I knew what happened today, I realized how stupid I was when Lin Yingxue and I came here last night, because when I was leaving, I seemed to find that someone in the old house behind me was staring at me, and now that I think about it, someone must have been hiding in the house to spy on us, and after hearing the conversation between me and Lin Yingxue, I locked the target in this house and found the evidence that my dad was hiding here.

But I wondered who could know that my father's secret was hidden from such a conversation in which I didn't see any flaws.

I told my dad about my coming here last night, but my dad didn't blame me, but said helplessly: "I didn't expect you kid to betray me unintentionally, no wonder someone will be found here, but now in retrospect, these days, I seem to have found that there is one more young man in the village, although this person did not show up in a crowded place, but there are many signs that there is indeed such a person here!" ”

"Young people? Dad, did you see him? What does it look like? ”

"I didn't see it, but judging from some clues, there is no doubt that it should be a young man, and this young man seems to be quite popular and polite."

I really wonder how my dad knew this information, looking at his expression, it seems that all this is just the result of his speculation, I was already shocked to be able to infer that there was one more person in the village, and now he can actually name some characteristics of the other party, which can't help but make me wonder, am I his own child?

However, I saw that he was obviously showing off to me, so I didn't ask him, and said directly: "According to your description, this person is probably the Yuan Hao I told you before!" If Yuan Hao is the righteous son of 'that person', then everything can be explained, he must have discovered the secret here and found the hard drive you hidden. ”

My dad nodded and said, "I think so too, since the things here have been found, I guess I'll have to move with your mother soon, after all, I have to personally guard the secrets of the next place!" ”

"Senior, if that's the case, wouldn't that directly expose the location where you hide your secrets?" Lin Yingxue asked with some incomprehension.

My dad smiled: "It doesn't matter, I've never been very tightly hidden, but it's very difficult to find, if I don't guard it myself, I guess someone will find out sooner or later, and if I don't have anything around me to protect myself, once 'that person' starts to embarrass me, I won't have a shield." ”

I can understand what my dad said, but what I'm worried about at this time is whether Yuan Hao will do anything to my dad, my dad just glanced at me, knew my thoughts, and said: "Don't worry, if they want to deal with me, it is impossible to come openly, they can only secretly trick me into it, but do you think that with your dad and my ability, will he be such an easy person to fall into the trap?" If the Yuan Hao you said wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue, then I welcome him to come, as long as he is not afraid of death! ”

When my dad spoke, his eyes were extremely confident, and I was full of confidence in him, after all, there was such a monster-like father, and it was estimated that Yuan Hao could only ask for his own hardships.

Since there was no problem with this matter for the time being, I was relieved, but then I suddenly remembered the past from my childhood, and asked, "Dad, who are the women and children who lived in this house back then?" ”

...

When we left this old house, it was already noon, and when I got home, my mother had already prepared lunch, and I hadn't eaten in the morning, plus now that I know so many secrets from my father's mouth, my mood is naturally good, my appetite is also much better, and after eating a lot of things, I decided to take Lin Yingxue to other attractions to play, and by the way, let myself relax.

After Lin Yingxue and I went out, before we could get in the car, a very familiar voice suddenly came from behind us: "Ji Wen, where are you going?" ”

I immediately turned my head to look, and found that the person who spoke was actually Xiaomei!

Lin Yingxue glanced at Xiaomei, then at me, and turned her head directly into the car, while I asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?" You don't follow the team leader to deal with the rest of the matter? ”

Xiaomei seemed to have something on her mind, and came with her hands behind her back, then looked up at me and said, "Why, in your eyes, do I have to stay with him?" ”

When Xiaomei said this, I couldn't look directly at the eyes, so I turned my gaze away, and the atmosphere immediately became awkward. Then Xiaomei took out the hand behind her back, and I saw that what she was holding in her hand was a string of sugar gourds.

Back then, the two of us liked to eat the sugar gourd in the village, and each time we ate one, and now I see her holding the sugar gourd again, and I can't help but recall the memories of that youth.

"I'm here to bring you sugar gourds, don't you love to eat this? I don't know if you have time, let's go out and have a meal together and sit down and talk? ”

Looking at Xiaomei's expectant eyes and familiar smile, everything seems to have returned to the past, but now I no longer have the feeling of being heartbeat back then, and I smiled and took the sugar gourd in her hand and said: "Thank you, but I have to accompany Xiaoxue to play these two days, and when I come back next time, I will invite you to dinner, bye." ”

After speaking, I turned around and walked into the car behind me, I didn't look back at Xiaomei's expression at this time, but my heart is very calm at the moment, no matter how worth recalling the past, it has become a thing of the past, I finally understand now, blindly avoiding and blaming, can only show that I still have her in my heart, and a calm smile, calmly faced, only to show that I really let go of the relationship back then.

Back in the car, I found that Lin Yingxue seemed to be talking to someone on the phone, and asked who she was talking to while wearing a seat belt, who knew that Lin Yingxue looked at me with some surprise in her eyes, and said after a long time: "It's Chief Bai's phone, he said that there is your courier, let you hurry up and go back to sign." ”
