Volume 1 Undercurrent Chapter 36 View Notes
I pushed open the half-open door and walked into the basement-like secret room, which was glowing not with a light bulb, but with a large rock, which I felt very comfortable looking at.
It's the kind of thing that doesn't want to move when you stay here, touching this cold stone, every pore breathes naturally, and I don't know what the situation is.
I turned off the flashlight and closed my eyes, getting used to the glimmer here, this secret room is not very large, more than ten square meters, it is very simple below, a bed and a desk, and a cabinet, I walked to the desk and sat down, there was already a layer of light gray on it.
Looking at the various books on it, I started looking for the answers I wanted.
Take a book and look at it.,I can't tell what age of paper it is.,Open it but there's not a word in it.,I was stunned and then opened another one.,There's still nothing blank in it.,I'm a little depressed.,I took out a few more books and it's still blank.。
There is not a word in so many blank notebooks, and it is so well placed here, it is so abnormal, I got up and walked to the cabinet, opened the cabinet door and saw something I was very familiar with, the backpack I carried to the goat cave, and put it in it.
Looking at this familiar backpack, I felt strange to my grandfather, what the hell did he do, why did the things I should have lost appear with him, and not only my things, but the things of several of them were also in this secret room.
Could it be that I can get out of there alive, it has something to do with my grandfather, but since he knows that there is danger below, why did he let me go down, and if he just arrested me, there would be nothing to do.
I took out my backpack and walked to the desk, rummaged through the contents and cleaned it up, except for the jade pendant in my hand that was not in the bag, everything else was there, I remembered the appearance of Sister Li when she looked at the map, and I picked up the pocket watch.
Looking at the ruby on it, I couldn't take it down after a few tries, Sister Li took it down all of a sudden, there must be some mechanism, and finally I found the trick, as long as the second is twelve, I took it down with a pinch.
I eagerly opened my grandfather's notebook, put the ruby in front of my eyes, the familiar strokes appeared in my eyes, and looked at the contents on it, this should be my grandfather's notebook to record his life.
I saw that it was written:
On October 20, 1969, on a sunny day, at noon I received the thirty-second letter from my father asking me to drop out of school and go home.
My younger siblings were still unable to work in the fields, so as the eldest I had to drop out of school and go home, and when I arrived home that night, my father happily picked me up and entered the house.
Maybe this is the best meal I have ever had in a barren mountain village, and I don't know where my father got the meat, and it tastes beautiful and beautiful.
That night, I was brought to the village by my father to report and join the production team as a member of the labor force, because of my joining, the village gave my father an extra 20 catties of food for the winter, and my father had a smile on his face all day long when he took the grain.
Due to the severe drought this year, the production team will not be able to survive the winter until September next year, let alone the grain will not be distributed until September next year, and the food stamps will be scarce.
Although I joined, there are 20 catties more, is this 20 catties of food enough for me to eat until next year? I don't know what my father thinks, but at least I won't worry about food outside.
I didn't expect my grandfather's diploma to reach this level, wouldn't it be more comfortable if I insisted on going to college and coming out to assign a job.
Or verified a sentence, if you want to be independent, the economy must be independent first, otherwise there are good things in front of you, and the right to be the master is no longer in your own hands.
I continued to scroll down, read a dozen pages, and found the diary in which my grandfather started his trip to the goat cave.
On December 6, 1969, it snowed, and the last food at home had been eaten, and I had not eaten for three days, so I had to go to the forest to find something to eat.
At noon, the fifth brother quarreled to eat rice, and was slapped by the third brother, the second sister and the fourth sister saw that their father was angry and did not dare to enter the house, and their mother cried by the stove, and the father walked more than ten miles to his uncle's house to borrow half a catty of rice, and made it for the fifth brother to eat at night, while we were eating thin rice soup with most of the leaves.
On February 4, 1970, it snowed heavily, and the family's food had been cut off for more than half a month, and my father took his five brothers and two people to open the stove half a month ago, so my mother had a big quarrel with him, and my mother took me to walk a long way, digging fern roots for three days in a row, and went home to boil water, and I took my second sister and third brother to the lower reaches of the river to find food.
Although they were not very old, they were very nimble in their hands and feet, and they had several hares, and the environment below was like summer, without the slightest chill.
My father had not eaten for several days, and he couldn't get up from bed, so I went to pick him up and my fifth brother the day before yesterday, and ate the rabbit meat that had just been beaten together, and my mother's fern roots were also made into fern, and I ran to the collective forest at night to cut a few logs, and stayed up all night to beat two wooden barrels, and yesterday I ran to a town far away from our town and sold it for fifteen yuan, and with this large amount of money, I quickly went home and handed it to my mother, who managed to redeem some food stamps and add some food to the family.
On April 3, 1970, Xiaoyu, recently I always hit the bucket to buy, was found by the Zhan boss who lived nearby, I was reported by the Zhan family boss into the village committee, saying that I stole the collective wood, the day the village people came to the house to find the wood incident, my mother was scared to cry, I was angry, the next village has starved to death three people, I don't steal wood is estimated to starve to death.
They didn't find any wood, but they warned me that if anyone reported me for violating the organization, they would kick my family out of the village if they found evidence of it.
The father of the eldest of the Zhan family is the deputy leader of the production team in the village, and he speaks very hard.
That night, I asked the second sister and the third brother to hide the buckets and tool scraps I had made in the hole of his house, and I went to the village to sue him.
When the village saw that I was educated, they promoted me to the position of deputy captain, and I climbed up with the vine, and also arranged for his family to do the most difficult land.
I laughed unconsciously when I saw this, I couldn't imagine that my grandfather, who had always seemed to be indisputable, was still a ruthless character when he was young, and in that era, my grandfather would still make buckets, and I hadn't heard of him in the slightest.
I don't know if the place downstream of the river written in my grandfather's notes is the Dark Creek River, and the climate temperature difference is different for the same thing.
