Chapter Seventy-Five: The Strange Past of Antique Lee
Before I could reply, Antique Li actually smiled bitterly twice and said softly: "You probably don't understand what I said, just wait here, wait until I finish this picture first." ”
My doubts were at the pinnacle of my doubts, and when I entered the door, all but the last sentence of what he said was like a mystery, I couldn't understand it, but it was very confusing. Maybe this feeling has something to do with my bizarre and weird experience during this time!
I waited for more than ten minutes before Zhang Kailong gently pushed the door open and walked to my side.
I was about to ask him what he was doing just now, but he waved his hand and pointed to the antique Li who was still leaning over and concentrating on drawing, as if he was afraid of disturbing the old man, so don't ask yet!
After another ten minutes, my heart had become very restless, so I had to recite the "Pure Heart Sutra" several times.
Antique Li suddenly threw away the pen and looked up at us with a smile:
"I'm sorry to make you wait, I know what you want to ask, in fact, I died sixty years ago!"
I was sitting at a table and almost fell off when I heard Antique Lee say that.
"What do you say? Old...... Old Uncle Li? ”
I asked hurriedly.
Antique Li slowly stood up, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and stretched his waist again, before replying unhurriedly again: "I know that you have found out about my family and know about that strange thing half a century ago!" ”
We didn't pick it up, but stared at him, meaning to let him move on.
In order to make it clear, I switched to the third person to tell what Antique Lee was telling.
Antique Lee does have a twin brother and a younger sister, and they come from an ancient and mysterious family.
At noon in the summer half a century ago, he and his twin brother secretly ran to the river to take a bath, but a strange wave suddenly appeared on the calm river and swallowed up the antique Li brother, who was also frightened at that time and ran home bare-bottomed.
Antique Li's father and several neighbors searched in the river for a long time, but still no one was alive or dead.
The neighbors advised his father to give up! The child was afraid that he would sink to the bottom of the water and be swept away by the undercurrent. At that time, Antique Li's father was very sad, but he had no choice but to go home. Not to mention that it was just a child who died, adults often died at that time, and everyone was not surprised for a long time.
None of the four members of the antique Li family ate that night, especially the antique Li, who was sad and scared, afraid that his father would clean him up.
At that time, there was no electricity, every house was lit with kerosene lamps, and as soon as the antique Li family lay down, they heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Antique Li's father hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
Who knew that it was a child's voice that answered, "It's me!" ”
As soon as they heard this voice, the whole family sat up from the kang almost at the same time, this voice was too familiar, it turned out to be the brother of Antique Li!
Although it feels weird, the whole family is still very happy that their children have been recovered. When I opened the door, I saw that Antique Li's brother was wet, and there was no blood on his face, looking at them directly.
His father asked him what was wrong, and his brother said that he didn't know, and suddenly felt that his body couldn't move in the water, and he sank into the water with his eyes, and he wanted to shout but couldn't shout.
After a few sips of water, he lost his instincts, and when he woke up again, he found himself in a strange cave, and the sound of running water could be heard from the top of the cave. There was a huge weirdo sitting across from him.
He tried to see the giant's face clearly, but he almost scared himself to death when he saw it, because the giant had no face.
The first thing the giant said was "You are actually dead, I gave you a second life...... Hearing antique Li say this, I was still muttering in my heart, how can I have a mouth to speak without a face? I think he probably didn't know.
The giant also said a lot of things that he didn't understand, and finally led the antique Li's brother along the cave to a dark place.
He was about to ask where this was and what he was doing here! Unexpectedly, the giant suddenly picked up the antique Li's brother and threw him out.
When he woke up, Antique Li's brother found that it was dark all around, and he was lying on the sandy ground by the river, and he no longer had basic feelings such as heat and cold.
If that's not all weird, listen to what Antique Lee has to say.
His elder brother is back, but his whole temperament has changed, as if he has changed a person, which makes the antique Li family feel very strange, and what is even more strange is that there is no pulse. His father was afraid that the influence would not be good, so he instructed the family to keep this secret.
In the village where Antique Li lived before, we asked about almost all the truth, Antique Li's sister committed suicide after being insulted by the village chief's youngest son, and his father took revenge and relieved his anger, but also ate the gun.
These things did happen, but what the villagers didn't know was that late at night the day after his father was shot, his father led his sister home.
At that time, he almost scared the antique Li and his mother stupid, but his brother seemed to know in advance, without the slightest strangeness, and complained, "Why did you come!" ”
Because of the excessive fright, the antique Li couldn't remember the events of that night clearly, in his impression, the family didn't know why they were in a hurry to pack their things, and they didn't know when it started, and there was a carriage parked at the door.
After the family of five got into the car, the house caught fire.
In the car, Antique Li's father calmly told him and his mother that in fact, the three of them were dead, and what they saw now was not him.
His father also told him that in fact, the person who drowned in the river should have been an antique lee, but his brother saved his life and died for him.
After leaving the village, Li's father, an antique man, sent him and his mother to an old house in the provincial capital and left. When they parted, they talked a lot, and his mother cried to death, but in the end, only Antique Lee and his mother were left.
Antique Li doesn't remember the events at that time too clearly, after all, more than half a century has passed.
In the years that followed, Antique Li had seen a person who looked exactly like him several times, but there were multiple red moles on his eyebrows, and the man did not speak when he saw him, but only smiled slightly.
Antique Li knew that this person was his brother.
When Antique Li went to college, he chose to major in archaeology, because among all the majors he applied for, only this major had something to do with the secret in his heart. He knew that his father and sister would "come back from the dead", which must have something to do with his brother's experience, and the key to uncovering all this was in the Yellow River, so he secretly vowed to find out the secrets hidden in the Yellow River.
After graduating from college, he saw his brother a few more times, and they took a few photos together, but his brother never spoke to him.
About ten years ago, when Antique Lee's mother had died, and by chance, his brother suddenly appeared in front of him.
