Chapter 289: The Old Lady Is Gone
Hearing that Anne said that she was going to look for me, I quickly asked with concern, "Is there any trouble?" ”
Anne smiled and asked me, "Do I have to be in trouble to find you?" ”
"Uh, I didn't mean that, then you look for me ......."
Anne watched the smile on my face fade away, and said with some sadness and loneliness, "We're leaving here?" ”
Anne surprised me when she said she was leaving Paradise Island, and I asked her, "Where are you going?" Back to the empire? ”
"It's not going back to the mainland of the Empire, it's going to another island, which is also a dependent territory of the Empire."
"But why did you leave Paradise Island in such a good way? Isn't it the same for you everywhere you go? ”
Anne shook her head, "Actually, I don't want to leave, but my grandmother said that there is a huge disaster here that is about to happen, and many people will die, and if we stay here, we will definitely be affected, so she wants to take me to avoid the disaster." ”
"A great catastrophe?" I couldn't help but laugh and asked Anne, "Your grandmother used a crystal ball to divinate again, right?" ”
"Hmm," Anne nodded embarrassedly, "although I know that divination through that glass ball is ridiculous in itself, but the nurse is convinced of it, and I can't let her go alone, so I have to choose to go together." ”
Anne's grandmother has always been a mystery to me, on the one hand, the old lady chattered, and from time to time spoke amazingly, at first glance she was an old comrade who was poisoned by feudal superstition, on the other hand, the things she said were not complete nonsense, especially about the scene when we encountered the shipwreck, just like we really saw with our own eyes, and the reason why this is so, I think the secret is in the so-called crystal ball, that crystal ball is definitely not a divination artifact, Of course, it can't be an ordinary glass ball, I suspect it may be a special mysterious scientific artifact, through which you should be able to see some scenes from the past, as for why it is in the hands of the old lady is unknown.
Speaking of which I have a lot of fate with Anne, although I usually don't have much contact, but it feels very familiar, this little girl's life experience is also quite pitiful, she and her grandmother depend on each other, all rely on a little savings to live, if they toss and move to another place, I don't know if they will encounter new trouble, so I thought about it and said to her: "We happen to be going on a long trip, if you don't mind, why don't you come with us, and then come back after escaping the so-called great disaster." ”
"Really?" Hearing that I was also leaving Paradise Island and taking the initiative to invite her to join her, Anne's face showed excitement and joy, but then she gloomy, "Alas, I would like to be with you, but grandma ......."
"It doesn't matter, your grandmother's impression of me should be pretty good, otherwise she wouldn't let me be her grandson-in-law, I'll go back to her with you now."
The three words of grandson and son-in-law made Anne's face flush all of a sudden, and I actually didn't think much about it at all, just to express that the old lady should be able to listen to me, but Anne, a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world, went to her heart.
When I came to Annie's house, the room was very quiet, Annie searched upstairs and downstairs and didn't see grandma, she said to me anxiously: "Brother Han, grandma is gone!" ”
I said to her, "Don't worry, maybe the old lady has gone out for a walk." ”
"But grandma usually doesn't go out, especially at this point in time, when she is meditating, and it is even more impossible for her to leave."
When Anne said this, I was also a little nervous, where did the old lady go? Then we found a note on the table on the first floor, and there were a few lines on the note, which basically meant that a great calamity was coming, and all people would be punished by the gods, and the only way to eliminate this disaster was to pray and repent to the gods in person, and Anne's grandmother thought that she was the greatest witch in the world, so she decided to go to the gods for the safety of all beings, and asked Anne to find me.
I quickly asked Anne to check if the crystal ball was still there, and when Anne opened the cabinet where the old lady usually kept the crystal ball, it was empty.
What god is the old lady going to find? My mind is messy, this Nima is even more unreliable than summoning an immortal bird, it's really not that I curse her, I really wonder if the old lady has some kind of elderly mental illness? Also, where is the old lady going to find the priest? The immortal bird is summoned by building a golden altar, so how is the god summoned it? Suddenly I thought of a very bad idea, the god lives in heaven, if you want to see the god, theoretically you have to go to heaven, but how can ordinary people go to heaven? Wouldn't that just have to die first......? The more I thought about it, the more frightened I felt, so I hurriedly took Anne to the island to look for the old lady, but after looking for most of the day, it was already getting dark, and I couldn't even find a shadow.
Anne asked me with a rainy pear blossom crying: "Brother Han, you said that nothing will happen to grandma, right?" ”
I touched her head and comforted, "Nothing should happen, don't forget, your grandmother is the greatest witch in the world, how could something happen to her." ”
"But where has Grandma gone? It was already dark, her eyes were not very good, and there would definitely be danger on the island. ”
"Uh, maybe, probably ......", Nima's! I really can't think of where the old lady can go, I even asked Bruni to use the wind whisperer to investigate, but I didn't find any news about the old lady, did she really go to heaven?
I said to Anne, "Now, seeing that it is getting dark, you can come with me to the boulder camp first, and then I will have someone to investigate." ”
"But if grandma comes back and can't find me, I'll be in a hurry."
"It doesn't matter, you can also leave a note, it's not safe for you to stay home alone."
At my persuasion, Anne left a note and pressed it on the table, and followed me to the Boulder camp.
When we arrived at the boulder camp, everyone was very curious when they saw Anne, and the grandson of the big bear took the initiative to come up to me and asked, "Old Han, you, where did you come from this little girl?" ”
I rolled my eyes at the bear and said, "Go, go, when did I lie to the little girl?" ”
"And who is this girl? On the big night, you still brought people to the camp, tsk, old Han, I can't see that you are quite bold. As he spoke, Da Xiong's grandson deliberately looked at Lin Ruyi and Su Yuliu, of course, Lin Ruyi and Su Yuliu would not be so filthy as Da Xiong, Lin Ruyi asked me: "Who is this?" ”
"Remember when I told you a long time ago about a mysterious old lady when I was hiding from the rain?"
Uncle Wei was the first to react to my reminder, and he asked me with a cigarette: "The crystal ball that can see the scene when we were shipwrecked?" ”
"Well," I nodded, "this girl is the granddaughter of the old lady, and her name is Anne." ”
Next, I told Anne from beginning to end, and when I had finished speaking, the grandson of the Great Bear preemptively said, "So, the old lady has gone to heaven to see the Lord?" ”
I glared at the bear speechlessly, "You can't speak, can you stop talking?" What does it mean to go to heaven? It must be that the old lady doesn't know where to run. ”
Uncle Wei also nodded and agreed: "That's it, heaven is so easy to go to, the old lady probably saw something terrible from the crystal ball, and then she didn't know where to go in a panic, but she is an old man who probably can't go anywhere, and her granddaughter is not still here."
