Chapter Ninety-Seven: Grandpa
The next day we rushed to the high-speed rail station in the morning, when passing the security check, I didn't find the invisible Nini, but my backpack was found to have something suspected of dangerous goods in the security check, the security personnel asked me to open the backpack to check, I had to helplessly open the backpack to show the security personnel the things inside, the security personnel checked for a long time and did not check out a reason, and then checked my identity information for a long time before letting me through, I estimate that eighty percent of the Bian Cheng order I put in the bag was checked out, but they can't see it, It seems that this Bian Cheng Order is really special.
Before getting on the bus, I sent a message to my mom to tell her the time of arrival in the capital, and after a while, my mom sent me the genetic phone number and asked me to call this person directly after getting off the bus.
The night before I went to the capital, I slept very unsteadily, I had a messy dream all night, after getting on the car, I chatted with Zhang Han casually and didn't wait for the car I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, the train just stopped at Tianjin Railway Station, when I woke up, Zhang Han was reading, I woke up and asked me how I slept, I stretched and said that I slept well, I didn't even dream, Zhang Han closed the book and said with a smile that I said that I looked cute when I slew, my mouth was open enough to stuff an egg, and saliva flowed everywhere, After listening to Zhang Han's words, I instinctively wiped the corners of my mouth with my hand, Zhang Han was amused by my actions, and said that I was cute.
I don't know if it's because I have a preconceived impression of my uncle or what, I vaguely feel from the bottom of my heart that there will be an accident on this trip to the capital, Zhang Han seems to see the worry in my heart, she leaned her head on my shoulder and asked
"Husband, what are you worried about?"
"I don't know what I'm worried about, but I can't calm down and always think that something is going to happen."
"I think it's because you're thinking too much, even if something happens, I'll protect you, I'm telling you, my ability hasn't been fully exerted yet, and you'll know how powerful I am when I play it."
I smiled and kissed Zhang Han on the forehead, Zhang Han said that she never wanted to be separated from me in this life, and if I really had any accidents, she would not live alone in this world.
Hearing Zhang Han say this, I hurriedly asked her to babble, Zhang Han stuck out his tongue at me and smacked a few times, saying that we will both live a long life and live to be old and play until we are old.
The high-speed train arrived in Beijing on time, and after coming out of the high-speed rail car, I dialed the other party according to the phone number given by my mother, and the other party said that I could recognize him after leaving the station, and hung up the phone after speaking.
When Zhang Han and I walked out of the station side by side, I found that the old fish who opened the Sichuan restaurant at the door of my house was looking at Zhang Han and us with a smile, and raised his hand at the two of us after seeing us come out, but I didn't expect that it was the old fish who came to pick us up, and I was a little puzzled after calling him just now, why he said on the phone that I could recognize him after leaving the station, it turned out to be the case.
Lao Yu took Zhang Han and I into a military Audi, and after getting in the car, Lao Yu jokingly said to me
"I grew up watching you kid"
I said to the old fish with a wry smile
"You've been hiding deep enough for so many years"
The old fish said with a smile
"No way, the things explained by the organization, a few days ago, you and Zhang Han and another girl went to my place for dinner, did you still use your magic powers to see me?"
I nodded yes, and the old fish laughed and said proudly
"It would be great if you could see through me."
Now the old fish is more cheerful and talkative than the old fish who opened a Sichuan restaurant near my house before, when talking about Xiaoyun, the old fish said that when Zhang Han and the three of us walked in, he felt a very strange atmosphere, like a demon and like a ghost, in short, it is very complicated, the old fish thought it was a monster trying to harm me at first, and then used some small magic powers to eavesdrop on our conversation and learned that Xiaoyun turned out to be a ghost with a body, and we also knew about it, Lao Yu let down his guard a little.
Lao Yu felt that the changes in the capital were too great, and in a blink of an eye he had left the capital for more than 20 years, and many things were people, Lao Yu asked me if I had seen Shui Miao, I said that I had dealt with Shui Miao, Lao Yu nodded and said that Jin Xin, Mu Sen, Shui Miao, Huo Yan, and Tuyao of the fifty-one are all five elements of the guard, not referring to five people but five positions, he himself is the previous Shui Miao, according to the seniority, the Shui Miao who has dealt with us should be counted as his apprentice.
Lao Yu is very talkative, it seems that he wants to hide his identity in the Sichuan restaurant near my home over the years, all the words that have fallen all at once, from the train station to the ancestral house of the Lin family, the mouth almost never stopped, and Zhang Han and I chatted all over the world, Lao Yu said that his father taught him the craft of cooking, but unfortunately his father is no longer alive, if he is alive, he must take Zhang Han to taste the boiled fish made by his father, that is called a fragrant, after the old fish finished speaking, click the mouth.
The ancestral house of fifty-one is in the western suburbs of the capital, if it weren't for the old fish driving us over, I guess Zhang Han and I really can't find here, even if we find here, there is no way to get in, three checkpoints, all the people around the card are loaded soldiers, and I found that the rifle bullets in the hands of these soldiers are loaded, I really don't think there is anything when I heard my mother and Cui Xiaobai mention fifty-one, and now I really shocked me to see it with my own eyes.
Lao Yu drove the car to the gate of a compound and stopped the car, Lao Yu said that he could only send us here, the compound is where the Lin family lives, they have no permission to go in, we just walked in by ourselves, before getting out of the car Lao Yu smiled at me and said
"When you two go back, you two will contact me, and I will use all my skills to cook you a table of authentic Sichuan cuisine for you two to catch the wind"
Zhang Han smiled and said a word to Lao Yu, Lao Yu didn't say anything more, and Lao Yu turned around and left after the two of us got out of the car.
There were no soldiers with loaded guns at the gate of the compound, Zhang Han and I walked into the yard and found that my mother was waiting for us in the yard, and there was no change in my mother after not seeing my mother for a few months, and it was not bad from the complexion, and I also put my heart down when I saw that my mother was safe and sound.
My mother took us to a small two-story building on the side of the compound, my mother lived here temporarily during our time in the capital, and she told her if she needed anything, and she asked others to prepare.
According to my visual observation, this two-story building must be at least a few decades old, I went to Qingdao to find my college classmates before, he took me to wander by Qingdao Badaguan Sanatorium, at that time my classmate told me that many big leaders have lived here, and now my mother arranged for Zhang Han and me to live in this two-story building and I saw almost exactly the same as I saw in Qingdao Badaguan area.
My mom asked me if I had eaten after we entered the house, I said I had a bite before getting on the high-speed rail, my mom nodded and said guess we hadn't eaten, and after saying that, I got up and walked to the kitchen and started cooking for us, and after a while my mom made two bowls of noodles and put them on the table, and asked us to come over to eat.
Although it was just a bowl of ordinary noodles, I almost didn't cry when I ate the first bite in my mouth, this bowl of ordinary noodles is the taste that I am familiar with from snacks to home, my mother stopped eating and asked me if I was uncomfortable, I shook my head and said no, but I missed the taste of my mother's cooking, and I was a little moved for a while.
My mother smiled and touched my head with her hand, and then asked Zhang Han if he was used to eating, and Zhang Han also nodded and praised my mother's good cooking skills.
After eating, I told my mother about Lin Chunhua finding us to come to the capital, and my mother sighed after listening to me and said that my uncle and my grandfather's health is not as good as day by day, and the Lin family has been troubled recently, and there are a lot of things happening big and small, and there is really no way to call me over.
I asked my mother what was going on, my mother shook her head and said that it was hard to say, in short, listen to my mother's meaning, now whether it is the situation of the fifty-one or the Lin family, it is very bad, and it can even be said that it has now reached a critical period of life and death.
My mom and we talked for a while my mom stood up and said take me to see my grandfather, during this time my grandfather's health was good and bad, and he was talking about seeing me, I asked my mom what my grandfather was doing when he saw me, my mom said that the details were not clear, it is estimated that it is not as simple as wanting to see my grandson.
I asked my mom if she should pay attention to anything when she saw my grandfather, and my mom smiled and said that there was no need to be so restrained, even if my grandfather was in a high position, it was my grandfather, so I didn't think too much.
The compound where I am now is very large, in my opinion it is much larger than our entire community, my mother said that this is the foundation of the Lin family, every grass and tree in the yard is carefully arranged according to the feng shui layout, and it can even be said that this courtyard is the result of the efforts of countless generations of the Lin family, in fact, I really can't see anything special at my current half-hung level, but I just think this yard is very large.
My grandfather lives in a house in the depths of the compound, from the appearance is not as good as the two-story building I live in, and even looks a little simple, a bit like the kind of self-built house built by rural villagers, there are two young people standing at the door, after seeing my mother and us, I nodded to my mother and said that the old man just took medicine, and now he is in good spirits, and there is no one inside, we can go in at any time, my mother nodded and didn't say anything, and took me in.
My mom, after we walked in, I smelled a very peculiar smell of Chinese medicine, because I have experienced too many things recently, plus today's journey is tiring, my physical condition is not very good, and I feel that I have been muddy, but after smelling this peculiar medicinal fragrance, I feel that my mental state and physical state have recovered, this feeling is very wonderful, a bit like the feeling of suddenly ventilating my nose when I have a stuffy nose.
This house is a standard one-bedroom living room, there are two serious looking medical staff sitting in the living room, the two are discussing something in a whisper, inside is a glass-roofed sun room, I sit on a wooden bed and look intently at a thread-bound ancient book, the cover of the ancient book does not have the title of the book, my mother and I came in after my grandfather also put down the book in his hand, looking at my mother and me with a smile.
"Qiangzi, this is grandpa, you go over and talk to your grandfather"
My grandfather was an extremely ordinary-looking old man, and he couldn't see any illness at all from the point of view of his mental state.
When my grandfather saw me, he waved at me and said to me
"Come, Hadron, let Grandpa see"
I walked over to my grandfather and he asked me to sit down, and when I sat down, he took my hand and said to me
"Boy, you really look like a friend of mine when I was younger."
I was a little confused by what my grandfather said, and my grandfather waved at my mom and said to her
"You go out first, I'll talk to Qiangzi"
My mother nodded and went out, closing the door in the house.
After my mom went out, my grandfather slowly sat up from the bed and said to me
"Speaking of which, my friend and I from my youth haven't seen each other for at least 50 years."
I really couldn't take what the grandfather said, so I could only smile and wait for him to continue, and after a while, my grandfather sighed and said to me
"Back then, your grandfather Liu An and I were good friends, and we haven't seen each other for decades."
I was shocked when I heard this, I didn't expect my grandfather and my grandfather to be old acquaintances, and my grandfather seemed to expect me to have such a surprised expression, and laughed and said to me
"If you count it, I'm still Liu An's senior brother, I worshiped him under the same master back then"
I suddenly remembered my young grandfather I met in the subconscious space before, and he called me Uncle Xiao at that time, and then I talked to my grandfather about it, and my grandfather said that his little uncle did look exactly like me back then, and I asked my grandfather
"The person you said is similar to me, is it you and my grandfather's little uncle?"
Grandpa nodded, and didn't ask me why I knew about it, my grandfather asked me how my grandfather's health is now, I said that my grandfather's health is very good, and I drank a few cups at every meal, and my grandfather smiled and said that my grandfather loved to drink when he was young, and he took him secretly down the mountain to drink at that time, and after being caught by the master, he said that it was my grandfather who instigated it, and my grandfather meant that he didn't take the blame for my grandfather back then.
My grandfather said that he was teased by my grandfather when he was young, and in short, my grandfather would definitely pull my grandfather to blame if he did bad things.
After chatting for a while, my grandfather suddenly changed to me and asked me
"How are things going in the netherworld now?"
Because the topic changed so quickly, I didn't react for a while and was a little dazed, but my grandfather still looked at me with a smile and said to me
"Forget it, people love to inquire when they are old, I won't ask about your Liu family, and I can't help it if I know it."
I said that although the matter of the nether realm is a bit tricky, but it is still in a controllable state, my grandfather nodded, and asked me if I knew why he called me to the capital, I shook my head truthfully and said I don't know, and my grandfather sighed heavily after listening to me and said to me
"I want you to take over the fifty-one for the Lin family, the Lin family has been through too much recently, and now they can't bear any blows, after you take over the fifty-one ones, I can be regarded as having an explanation for the old man"
After my grandfather finished speaking, he looked at me very seriously, to be honest, I never thought that the real reason for calling me to the capital was this, in my opinion, this matter is definitely a pie in the sky, my dad has taught me since I was a child that I will never fall pie in the sky, if there is really a pie in the sky, it must be a trap, just like a trap prepared by a hunter for his prey.
I said to my grandfather
"Grandpa, I speak more directly, if there is any disrespect, please bear with me, I hope you will tell me the reason why you asked me to take over the fifty-one places, I feel that I have the right to know about this matter"
My grandfather laughed after hearing me, saying that I had the same personality as my grandfather, and I was afraid that I would be deceived.
"Okay, I'll tell you the whole thing as it is, and it's up to you whether you agree or not agree to my request."
