Chapter 237: The Past of the Elders (1)

I know that the situation in the Mediterranean may not be stable, and no one else understands what is going on, only Hua Ergu can handle it. However, as soon as she said that she wanted to ask me something, I guessed that she was asking about my father.

But I couldn't help but go along, so I asked the guy to start the Mediterranean car and get into the car.

The Mediterranean car is for pulling goods, it is very spacious, and people are not crowded when they sit in it. Along the way, I kept observing the state of the Mediterranean, and he was very quiet, with no expression on his face, as if he was asleep. I feel that the most dangerous moment has passed, as long as the second aunt Hua helps to recuperate, the Mediterranean is no problem.

The car drove to Aunt Hua's side, and the guy helped carry the Mediterranean into the big house on the first floor, and then they all went to the car to wait. Hua Ergu put her bag away, took a little something, and asked me to straighten the Mediterranean.

Aunt Hua has a bad impression of the Mediterranean, and this time she was willing to help him, in the words of Aunt Hua, it was entirely because I came forward to intercede and gave my father a face. Hua Ergu threw the Mediterranean Sea directly on the ground, and after the Mediterranean Sea was lying upright, Hua Ergu took a small oil lamp and put it on the forehead of the Mediterranean Sea to light it.

I don't know what kind of lamp oil is burning in this lamp, anyway, after the small lamp burns, there is a faint smell, the smell is very complicated, a little fragrant, it seems to have a little smell. The wick is very thin, and the flame that burns is about the size of a mung bean.

"What is this for?"

"He's still unstable, and it will take about three or four hours for him to wake up with this lamp." Hua Ergu moved a chair, sat next to it, and said, "The light can't be extinguished." ”

"If he wakes up, he'll be fine, right?" I didn't want Aunt Hua to ask some messy things, so I tried my best to stall and change the topic.

"It's fine when you wake up." Hua Ergu lowered her head and thought for a while, then got up and walked upstairs, not knowing what she was churning about. I quickly stared at the small lamp on the Mediterranean forehead without blinking, not daring to let it go out.

Hua Ergu rummaged on it for a while, and finally came down with a wooden box. The wooden chest is made of logs, and the outside is not painted, but there is a talisman on each side of the chest. Most of the talismans are painted on them with cinnabar, which may have been too long, and the colors are not so bright, and they have begun to darken.

"I almost forgot about this thing, but I only remembered it when I saw you." Hua Ergu put this wooden box that was not too big in front of me and said, "This is what Lian Du left here at the time, and now that the matter has passed, you can take it back and give it to Lian Du." ”

"What's in here?" I took the box handed by Aunt Hua, and I didn't feel heavy, and I couldn't see anything in it through the box.

"What's in it? You take it to your father, and he will know it when he sees it. ”

He ...... He couldn't see it. I put the box down and shook my head at Aunt Hua: "It's gone.......

"Gone!?" Hua Ergu's voice originally had a cold meaning, but as soon as she heard my words, her face suddenly changed, it became ugly, and her emotions seemed to be a little out of control: "When did you leave!?" ”

"It's been more than three years." I can't tell the real cause of my father's death, my father was in very poor health at that time, but his death was somewhat related to Lu Fangding, if these words are spoken, they will be very far, there is no need to tell Hua Ergu about this: "I got sick, I was sick for a long time, my health has not been good, and I finally ......"

At this moment, Hua Ergu seemed to have lost her soul, and sat on the chair behind her at once, her eyes and expression seemed to be dull at the same time, she looked ahead in a daze, and didn't say a word for a long time.

I didn't dare to ask more, but before and after the association, the matter was already obvious. My father had dealt with Aunt Hua, and it was not an ordinary dealing.

"I said that in the past two or three years, sometimes I want to go to Qikongqiao to inquire about him and see if he is in the store, and I have never seen him...... He's gone......" Second Aunt Hua's face was as white as paper, and she slowly looked up at me and asked, "Did he suffer when he left?" ”

"It's not suffering, it's just that I'm sick, and I've been treated for a long time, and I've accompanied him to the hospital for a period of time, but it's useless."

At this time, Hua Ergu cried, not the kind of howling and crying, and she didn't even cry out loud, but she was in a daze, and her tears fell down.

Just because crying doesn't hurt doesn't mean you don't feel sad. Hua Ergu should be a relatively strong person, if it weren't for the extreme sadness, she would never shed tears in front of outsiders.

I didn't say much, I didn't ask anything, I didn't know these things, and I couldn't persuade them.

"When he was leaving...... Did you leave anything to say? Aunt Hua looked at me with tears in her eyes, and her tone was bitter: "Is there any?" ”

"I didn't have time to leave ...... anything"

"He's ...... He is really stubborn......" Hua Ergu didn't know if she was poked in the sore spot by this sentence again, and the tears that had been subsided were gushing together, crying out of control.

I'm really convinced, no matter what kind of woman, tears are a fatal killer, looking at the tearful Hua Ergu, I can't do anything, I can't think of any way.

After at least ten minutes, Aunt Hua's mood calmed down a little. Originally, when I came here with Aunt Hua, I was afraid that she would ask me about my father, but now, I want to ask her what is going on.

The past of the previous generation, to the present, is actually meaningless, but the situation of my family is different, from Lu Fangding told me that my grandfather raised a monkey, I feel that the past in the family may imply something. Judging from Aunt Hua's actions at the moment, she has had more contact with my father, and she must know her very well, and if you ask her, you may get some information that you can't get from other people's mouths.

"Second aunt......" I asked hesitantly, "...... When did you know my father? ”

"It's early." Aunt Hua's previous attitude towards me always made people feel uncomfortable anyway, but as soon as she heard the news of my father's death, her attitude changed and became very gentle: "There are still two months left, twenty-nine years." ”

I was stunned when I heard it, because I didn't expect them to know each other for so long. When my father was still alive, he never mentioned to me that he had a relationship with Aunt Hua, and no one else said it, if it wasn't for Aunt Hua mentioning it now, I might not know about it for the rest of my life.

Aunt Hua is one year older than my father, and her family has been a goddess for six or seven generations. Hua Ergu has been in contact with these things with her elders since she was a teenager, when she was still young and didn't know much. This profession is not just about doing it, or if you don't do it, it's like a chair, or don't do it, but it's very difficult to sit down and stand up.

There must be a very serious stake in this, Hua Ergu didn't say it explicitly, but I felt it. The person who does this may not be short of money for the rest of her life, and people often come to her to do things. While you can gain it, you will also lose a lot. By the time Aunt Hua understood this truth, it was already too late, and she had to do this line of work until she died.

This may also be the reason why her family has been engaged in this profession for several generations, because it cannot be retreated bravely, and can only be passed on from generation to generation.

When Hua Ergu was seventeen or eighteen years old, she came to Huayang, at that time it was purely for her livelihood, and the city was easier to mix than the countryside. At that time, Huayang, the ancient bank had just begun to recover, and there was no formal trading market, and people were communicating in private. There are many evil things in ancient times, and some people have accidents, such as the situation in the Mediterranean, they have to find someone to break things. Hua Ergu stayed in Huayang for a period of time and gradually became famous.

Once, my father took a person and hurriedly found Aunt Hua, wanting to help solve the problem. Aunt Hua was about to do it, and my father told her first that because she came in a hurry and didn't bring any money with her, she asked Aunt Hua to help first, and she must make up the money afterwards.

In the industry of Hua Ergu, there has never been such a thing as credit, and Hua Ergu has never encountered such a situation. She casually said that you can't take credit to do this kind of thing.

My father didn't force it at the time, and probably knew that people did have this rule. Therefore, he didn't say a word, turned around and left with people on his back.

As soon as he left, Aunt Hua felt that my father was a bit interesting, plus human life was at stake, she was young at that time and had a good heart, so she couldn't help but chase him out and asked my father to carry the person back.

This person's situation is indeed quite rare and serious, Hua Ergu tried her best and worked hard for a long time, and finally settled it.

She felt that if she confiscated the money and was so dedicated, my father would be grateful. However, my father only said thank you, and then said that the money would be doubled, and he took the people and left again.

Hua Ergu was very angry at the time, feeling that this person didn't know what to do, and he didn't know how to be grateful.

After this incident passed, Hua Ergu swore that she would not be soft-hearted in the future, let alone save people when she saw them.

After about five or six days, my father came, and according to his agreement, he doubled the money sent to Hua Ergu. Moreover, when he came, he also brought tables, chairs, benches, and a set of new teacups and teapots.

Aunt Hua didn't understand a little, so my father said that he saw that the tables and chairs here were old that day, the chairs were squeaky when they sat up, and the teacups on the table were missing, so he bought a new set of these things.

Hua Ergu didn't expect that this person who doesn't know how to be grateful would have such a careful heart. The resentment in her heart before was gone, and she felt it deeply.

She has been in Huayang for so long, although the people who ask her for help are very polite, but it is only because there is a relationship of mutual use, and no one has ever cared about her daily life so carefully. Aunt Hua was very happy, so she used the new teacup and teapot that my father brought to make a pot of good tea for him to drink.
