Chapter 26: An Old Book

After doing this, Grandpa rummaged through the cabinets and found two white candles from the house, and then put all the things in the charcoal basin and covered them with a layer of cloth.

Next, Grandpa sat down in a chair, bowed his head slightly, and seemed to be resting, his face looked much better than during the day, but it was still ugly.

Although I still have pain in my body, I can bear it, and now I only worry about my grandfather.

"Grandpa, why don't we go to the village outpatient clinic to see a doctor, you look very uncomfortable." I couldn't help but say.

After hearing this, grandpa raised his head slightly and glanced at me, the gaze in his eyes was very complicated, and soon grandpa shook his head: "Don't look at it, it will be gone after a while."

I nodded, but for some reason, I didn't feel very comfortable.

"Mianmian, you go look in that drawer, see if there are any old books, the key is stuck under the table, you look for it." Grandpa pointed to his usual most precious table.

The small drawer on the table, grandpa usually locks it, I asked grandpa a long time ago because of curiosity, but grandpa didn't let me touch the things inside, because I have little strength, and I am obedient enough, after being curious for a while, I don't look at the small drawer anymore.

Now listening to my grandfather say this, my curiosity immediately hooked up, I crawled under the table, and sure enough, I saw a small key under the table that was glued to a white tape, I picked it off, and opened the drawer.

I thought there was something precious in the drawer, but there was only an old book and nothing else.

I was a little disappointed, but I told my grandfather truthfully, "There's an old book in here."

Grandpa nodded, closed his eyes and recuperated: "You keep that book, you can read it well in the future, remember not to throw it into the hands of others, otherwise, it will cause you to be killed."

Killed......

Such a book would lead to death? I was suddenly a little scared, and hurriedly said, "Then I won't look at it, anyway, I don't know how to read now, grandpa, I'll lock it."

"It's up to you, that book was originally reserved for you, as long as you keep it secret and read it well, it's fine."

Grandpa opened his eyes and stared at me with a stern look in his eyes.

I hesitated for a moment, and could only respond with a sad face.

I hate reading the most, some of the friends in the village go to school, even if I don't play with them, I can hear them often complain about some things in school, if the school teaches knowledge, what words can't be read, they will be beaten by their parents and cry.

If I had known that curiosity was so costly, I wouldn't have opened that little drawer.

Then Grandpa didn't speak anymore, just sat in the chair like a statue, and I locked the drawer and glued the key under the table again.

I'm not interested in watching it.

Time passed little by little, and Grandpa didn't move, and it was getting closer and closer to twelve o'clock in the evening.

I can't hold my breath more and more in my heart, what the hell is grandpa going to do? Since I came back, I don't seem to have eaten, aren't you hungry?

But it's all come to this point, grandpa doesn't speak, and I don't dare to say anything.

It wasn't until half past eleven in the evening, when there was no sound outside, that my grandfather's eyes suddenly widened, he got up from his chair, took the charcoal basin in his hand, and turned to me and said, "Let's go, go out now."

I was startled: "Grandpa, go out now?" But that thing ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his grandfather, who strode towards the door: "Don't talk nonsense, come along, it's too late to be late."
