Chapter 240: The Past of the Elders (4)
Hua Ergu is not omnipotent, there are some things, she can't see with her own eyes, but her feeling is very accurate. For example, when she went to the warehouse with us today, she could detect through a door, and the contents of the door were difficult to deal with.
She couldn't tell where the monkey came from, but the fear it had brought her had lasted for a long time.
I am very grateful to Aunt Hua, in fact, what Aunt Hua did back then was equivalent to carrying her father's affairs by herself.
However, my father did not know that the monkey's situation could be so serious. After Hua Ergu helped him calm things down, he disappeared for a while. At that time, my grandfather and my mother passed away one after another, and my father and I were the only two people left in the family, and I was still so young that I needed to be cared for 24 hours a day. Aunt Hua can understand that this time, she didn't complain about her father.
After that, my father also came, but every time he came, he brought two bottles of liquor with him. Hua Ergu fried a few dishes for him, and his father drank two bottles of liquor in one meal. His amount of alcohol is actually not that big, and if he drinks so much, he will definitely get drunk. But my father's meaning seems to be to get drunk, because when he is drunk, he will go to sleep, and he will not have to think about anything for the time being.
At this time, Aunt Hua's mind was a little turbulent again. She doesn't mind that her father is married and has children, and in the past few years, she feels that her affection has never decreased. As long as her father says a word, then she won't care about anything.
It's just that the two stubborn people still maintain their stubbornness, and it's easy to say anything else, and no one mentions this matter.
After that, my father may have started to be busy, and Aunt Hua did her best for him, helping him with everything she could, and doing everything she could. Father is not blind, what Hua Ergu does, what Hua Ergu thinks, it is impossible for him not to know.
Once, my father hadn't come to the door for a long time, but when he came, he brought someone with him. That person is a martial artist in the ancient industry, but he is not a big role, just a small role in the industry, doing a little work and earning some small money. This person may have temporarily gone somewhere else to help, but he lost his hand in the bottom and kept talking nonsense, saying that there was a light in front of his eye, which flashed and went out.
This man knew my father, and on two occasions, no one wanted the goods he brought, because they were really worthless, and my father took them. This time, something happened to this person, and my father brought him to let Aunt Hua take a look.
This kind of thing, Aunt Hua is commonplace, and she doesn't argue with her father about anything, but looks at that person for her. After seeing it, Aunt Hua asked my father to eat here.
My father went to buy two more bottles of wine, and this time, Aunt Hua didn't let him drink it, and planned to let him have a good meal. While the two were eating, the father opened his mouth and spoke what was in his heart.
What my father meant was that he didn't want to think about things anymore. Although his marriage was arranged by my grandfather, since he was married, he didn't want to live up to his wife. Moreover, he said that he still has a very young child with him, and no matter what time it is, it will be a drag.
What her father said was straightforward enough, Aunt Hua must have understood, she was annoyed at the time, she didn't finish the meal, and drove her father out directly.
This time, the two of them are equivalent to a complete face. For a long time, there was no contact.
"Later, he came again, in the middle of the night, and drank too much." Hua Ergu thought for a while and said, "I don't know why, I'm drunk, I'm talking nonsense, and I'm crying." ”
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place, I know my father's personality very well, if it wasn't really unbearable, he wouldn't cry.
Maybe Aunt Hua was still angry at the time, and when she saw her father crying, she scolded him with her head and face. Regarding Aunt Hua's accusation, my father should not have remembered it at that time. However, after that time, my father never came.
Sometimes, Hua Ergu would quietly hide near the gate of the Qikongqiao Market to see if her father would enter the market from here. She had seen her father twice, but she had avoided it, and he had not noticed her.
But since three years ago, Aunt Hua has never seen him again. From beginning to end, Hua Ergu never asked her father where she lived, and if she couldn't find her father at Qikong Bridge, it would be equivalent to being separated.
"It's been almost 30 years, and I don't know what I'm trying to do in the end." Aunt Hua sighed.
I also sighed, the entanglement of the elders, as a junior, I can't tell who is wrong or who is right. Probably, they are all right, and they are not right.
"Second aunt, don't think about this." I persuaded, "Anyway, my father is ...... After all, he has passed away, and if he talks about the past now, he will only add to himself. ”
"I don't want to, maybe it is after all, there is no fate."
I persuaded Aunt Hua for a while, and her mood improved a little. Looking down at my watch, the two of us had been talking for two hours.
Hua Ergu poured out a little lamp oil from a small bottle and added it to the oil lamp on the forehead of the Mediterranean. In another hour or two, the Mediterranean will wake up.
I looked at the wooden box under my feet, this matter, speaking of which, is my own family's business, I don't want the Mediterranean to know, so I asked Hua Ergu to take a piece of cloth and pocket the wooden box.
"You'd better not touch this thing." Hua Ergu was probably afraid that she would leave this box behind, and she might have an accident in the future, so she told me to find a suitable time to bury the box and the monkey corpse inside.
"Isn't it okay for so long?" In my heart, I still plan to study the corpse of this monkey again, and those marks on the monkey's bones like talismans are definitely not ordinary things.
It's just that too much time has passed, and besides, my father is gone, and there is no way to know the origin of this monkey.
"It's okay for a hundred years, it's not a thing, once something happens, it becomes a thing, don't leave anything to chance." Hua Ergu may think that I am a little unsure, and persuaded: "I kept this thing at that time to avoid trouble for Liandu, what's the use of you keeping it?" ”
"Knowing the second aunt, I will find an opportunity to bury it when I have time."
Aunt Hua told me some gossip again, basically all of which were my father's previous affairs in Huayang. It's not a big deal, the east is short and the west is short. Because our family's shop is only a small face in the Qikongqiao Market, and the business has not been big, so we have no opportunity to contact those big people in the ancient industry, and the people who deal with my father are only people in the market.
"Also, don't make trouble with the Mediterranean anymore, you can throw away the things in your warehouse." After Hua Ergu finished saying this, she remembered her experience in the warehouse again, and warned me: "If you accumulate virtue, you should throw away that thing, bury it when it should be buried, bury it far away, and it is best to be a wasteland where no one has been going for a hundred years, don't sell it, and don't give it away." Whoever is left in the hands is a scourge, and no one can stop it. ”
I know that Hua Ergu is talking about the bronze statue in the small warehouse, and her words, I actually don't deny it, that bronze statue is really evil. However, if I am asked to throw away the bronze statue, I will never be able to do it, and I want to study it again.
Maybe I've been talking to Aunt Hua about my father just now, and I don't have time to think about anything else. Now that my mind is quiet, I begin to speculate secretly. The matter of the monkey in my house, the ins and outs are basically clear, if you follow this logic of thinking, the head of the bronze statue of the monkey is hollow, and a monkey's brain has been put in, then the head of the bronze statue is also hollow, and most of the people have been put into it.
The facts are the facts, but what about the motive, the purpose? It's impossible to do something so outrageous for no reason. It seems that there is still a long way to go, and there is still a lot to explore.
After another hour and a half or so, there was movement in the Mediterranean, and he lay on the ground and twisted his waist slightly. Hua Ergu took off the small lamp on his forehead, stretched out her slap, and slapped him heavily on the head.
This time he woke up the Mediterranean, as if he had been woken up in his sleep, and sat up with a smile, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were a little confused and a little dazed.
However, this guy's head is really good, if he changes to someone else, it is estimated that he will be blindfolded for a while, but after the Mediterranean woke up, it seemed that his nerves began to function normally, and he recognized Hua Ergu at a glance.
"It's not ...... Aunt Hua...... "Mediterranean is now talking normally, getting up from the ground, and greeting Aunt Hua: "Last time, I asked you to do something, you did it properly, I admired and grateful, after returning to the new city, I did a lot of advertising for you......"
"I need you to advertise?" Hua Ergu glanced at the Mediterranean Sea, turned around and left.
The Mediterranean really has something extraordinary, he has been in a drowsy for so long, and he has not lost his memory since he woke up, and he remembers the previous events clearly. He knew in his heart that something must have happened in the small warehouse, and then he had no choice, so he was taken by me to Aunt Hua to break the matter.
The Mediterranean may not be used to staying here, wake up and say a few words to me before leaving. Hua Ergu held a teacup and leaned against the door frame to look at the Mediterranean, and I made eye contact with him.
"People saved you, it didn't take much effort, the accounts that should be settled, hurry up." I guessed that the Mediterranean must have hidden something in the matter of the bronze statue, so it is not polite to speak now: "I don't have any money with me, you settle the bill." ”
"It should be, it should be ......" Mediterranean was wealthy, took out his wallet from his body, directly took out all the stacks of cash inside, and handed it to Aunt Hua: "Sister Hua, I have to thank you again this time, this is a small matter, you accept it, wait for me to rest here, and after I recover, I will make a special trip to thank you." ”
Mediterranean said sincerely, but Hua Ergu had a bad impression of him, and she didn't pay attention to him after receiving money, making Mediterranean very boring.
I asked the Mediterranean to go out first, and then said a few words to the second aunt of Hua, after the farewell came out, looking at the back of the Mediterranean, I secretly gritted my teeth, the old girl is really not very honest, just be sloppy about other things, in the matter of the bronze statue, no matter what, I have to force him to tell the truth.
