Chapter 17: I Don't Want Him to Die
My mom used to live in this room, and the drawers were full of my mom's things, so it's very likely that my mom hid the diary!
But what is she hiding this for? I looked at the journal curiously and tried to open the lock, so I started looking for the key nearby, but I searched through all the nearby cabinets and found no key.
I thought to myself that I couldn't find the key, so instead of doing this, I might as well just smash it open, and I hid my journal and prepared to go out and find a hammer or something.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the voices of my grandmother and two uncles outside.
"Chen Jiang's grandfather is really dead!?" Uncle asked.
"It should be dead, but I didn't see the body either, and when I passed, there was only a blood stain on the ground!" My grandmother said, and then slowly talked to the two of them about the whole process.
My father's corpse must have been put away by the village chief, after all, a corpse lying in the yard must be noticeable, and a cautious person like them will definitely not make trouble for himself.
"How did you die?" Uncle asked again.
"I don't know, I heard that he was beaten to death." When my grandmother said the second half of the sentence, her voice was much quieter.
"Did his father tell Chen Jiang about the Chen family's things?" The third uncle hurriedly asked.
Something from the Chen family?!
No wonder they were in such a hurry to find me, it turned out to be because of this! But! I've never heard of anything good in my house, and if I had, I'd have sold it for money a long time ago!
"Didn't you ask?" The third uncle looked at my grandmother and asked.
My grandmother shook her head and said that now is not the time, I have just died of a relative, this time must be inappropriate, as long as I am left behind, the Chen family's things will definitely be able to get it.
They were standing outside talking about Zhenghuan, but they didn't know that I had eavesdropped on the other side, and the three sentences did not leave the Chen family's things, I touched my head, what is this thing? Why have you never heard of it!
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly thought of the two words that my grandfather had said in my ear before he diedβcemetery!
My grandfather is dying, what I want to say must be the most important, but I didn't care because I was extremely sad, and now that I think about it, I should have told me that the Chen family had something in the cemetery!
Thinking of this, I secretly decided in my heart that I would find a day to get rid of them and go to the cemetery to have a look.
I quietly retreated, and began to look for something in the room to pick the lock, and finally found a small wire under the bed, in the countryside, it is not difficult for us to pick the lock, especially this kind of small lock that is common all over the street, sometimes even with the key of other locks.
I picked up the wire from the ground and began to try to open the lock, and after many attempts, I finally opened the lock, I shouted to the outside that I was sleeping, then turned off the light and hid under the covers.
The diary was hidden so hidden, my grandmother obviously didn't find it, and what was recorded in it must be very important, otherwise my mother would have burned it directly.
I quietly opened the diary and looked through the pages one by one, the handwriting on the diary was already blurred, but I could still tell the date by some of the contents.
"On March 5, 1997, it was already the spring season, but the Northeast was still the same, and the spring breeze blew people's faces and lips cracked, and even their smiles were not as sweet as before...... I don't know how he's doing over there? When will you come to see me? β
β......β
"On June 1, 1999, I really didn't expect that he would give me a bouquet of flowers on Children's Day, but unfortunately, he left within ten minutes, but I went to the City God Temple with him a few days later, and I was a little excited to think about it."
β......β
I read almost 20 pages of content, and almost all of them are one or two sentences, similar to daily summaries, and there is no special content, which caused me to wonder.
There is no need to hide the contents of a diary like this, my father's love letter to my mother can be put in a drawer casually, there is no essential difference between this diary and a love letter, why hide it?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I flipped back a few more pages and sure enough, I found something wrong.
"There are not many people who come to the City God Temple, but I met a strange old man on the way, he said that my husband is about to die, and only he has a way to save him, neither of us believed him, so we hurried away, but he caught up and said that I had an accident and came to the City God Temple to find him."
β......β
"I had a lot of fun with him, but I was a little seasick today, and I could always see a dragon swimming in the water, but they all said they didn't see it, and laughed at me for being pregnant and stupid."
"I dreamed that the dragon was coming and killed him!"
β......β
"He's really dead!!"
"I found the old man who lived in the temple and he gave me a water pill, saying that he could save him, but ...... He wants me to get rid of the baby in my belly! Or he'll die! β
"I don't want him to die!"
This part of the diary is very messy, and many pages are torn down in the middle, I wonder what happened in the middle, who is the old man in the City God Temple, what did they do later, why did my father die suddenly?
But judging from the only information, my mom and my dad must have encountered something back then!
The old man accurately predicted that my father would die, but he didn't say that my father would die because of something, coincidentally this, and my mother didn't record it in the diary, could it be that the dragon really killed my father?!
It's true that there are dragons in this world, but they are born on an equal footing with the superior gods, eating people's offerings, and it is impossible to kill people for no reason, besides, my father and my mother are just grass people, and it is impossible to provoke them, why do they have such dreams?
Or still! My mother's dream was just an omen, someone else killed my father!! But if there was someone else, why didn't my mom record it!?
I thought about it carefully, if someone kills their relatives, the reaction of normal people is to catch the murderer and avenge their relatives, just like I have been looking for the murderer who destroyed my family back then, and I can't wait to peel his skin on the spot!
But my mom didn't show such feelings in her diary, but said, "I don't want him to die!" "That's the case. This shows that the cause of my father's death is irresistible, and my mother has no way to stop it, in other words, my mother has no way to catch the murderer and avenge my father! There is only one way in front of her, to find the old man to save my father!
But how can people be resurrected after death, if they can really resurrect people with a random water pill, then wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world! When Qin Shi Huang was the emperor for so long, he didn't find a way to live forever, and now it is not easier to come back to life than to live forever.
Perhaps, my dad faked his death?
......
Thinking of this, I hurriedly went down to the diary, and the sentence recorded in the back completely shocked me!!
