Chapter 131: Photographs (Retouched)
Tan Shurun was really curious about what was under the board, so he thought about it and did it.
Tan Shurun carefully lifted a small piece of the corner of the wooden board, and looked closer, the bottom of the wooden board was pitch black, but there was a faint metal glowing in the middle, she reached out and picked it off, just try, who knew that it really pulled out something.
The wallet is the wallet that Patriarch Loma asked her to come in and find!
Tan Shurun was so surprised that he got up and wanted to rush to the outhouse, but as soon as he stepped up, he stopped thinking of something. At this moment, the wallet in her hand was like a hot potato, and Tan Shurun hesitated, not knowing whether she should give the wallet out.
The plank was laid by hand, and if she hadn't accidentally injured her hand just now, and so coincidentally, the blood happened to fall into the gap, I am afraid that she would not have thought that there was something hidden in the plank.
It's clear that someone deliberately put the wallet in! Tan Shurun looked around, behind this treehouse, there was only Patriarch Loma, except for Patriarch Loma, she really couldn't think of anyone else who would hide the wallet in the gap of the wooden plank.
"If you find a wallet, bring it to me."
The words are still in my ears, and when I think of things before and after, Tan Shurun only feels that his fingertips are getting colder and colder, and the wordlessness is frightening.
The patriarch of Loma had a wallet, and he asked her to help clean up the house and find out which corner of the wallet might have fallen.
At this point, there are two possibilities.
The first is that Patriarch Loma knows where things are, and if so, why would Patriarch Loma want her to come here to find something? Then it was just an excuse to distract her, Patriarch Loma didn't want her to hear about his conversation with Grandma Sam. If so, does it mean that it proves from the side that the words she just accidentally heard, the possibility of associating guesses, and the authenticity has greatly increased.
Secondly, the Loma patriarch had no idea that the wallet he was looking for was in the wooden plank mezzanine on the ground at the back of the house. If so, who quietly took the wallet and hid it in the cracks of the room, and why?
Things were very messy, and Tan Shurun had the idea of carefully checking and looking at the wallet again.
The leather is good, but I don't know how long it has been in the wooden board, the original wallet style and leather luster are not as good as before, turn it over on the other side, Tan Shurun saw a crack on it, she squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and the tip of her index finger even poked curiously.
Such traces are clearly the result of cracks caused by cold weapons such as knives stabbing at close range.
Realizing this, Tan Shurun's heart suddenly tightened, this wallet may have blocked the knife for the Loma patriarch.
There was more curiosity than ever before, and Tan Shurun finally realized that the Loma patriarch with the wallet must have a big secret.
"I, when I open it, shouldn't be considered an invasion of privacy...... Right? ”
Whispering, Tan Shurun opened the buttons, spread out the wallet, took out the excitement of the experimental subject in the research class, and rummaged through it carefully.
Two 100-yuan bills issued 20 years ago, a one-way bus ticket from downtown Nanjing to Chunqingshan, and a yellowed and blackened piece of paper with the address of a villa in Nanjing......
What caught Tan Shurun's attention was the paper, she remembered that the address written on this piece of paper had been cancelled ten years ago because of the reform of the administrative district, and at least in the last ten years, no one would use the three words of Nanjing City Huaning District to tell others the address.
She rubbed the inside of the wallet, found the compartment, shook it, and a picture fell out of it.
……
The photo is yellowed and moldy, and it is old, but the scenery of the people on it can still be vaguely recognized.
In the background, in the back garden of a villa, two men in their past sixties are standing side by side.
On the left-hand side of the photo, the person standing was a much younger patriarch master, with a white shirt and black trousers, smiling very happily, while the person standing next to the patriarch was wearing a gray-brown casual suit, a little old, in good spirits, and holding a milk doll in his hand.
Tan Shurun's eyes were sour, and hot tears slowly accumulated, rolling in her eyes, so hot that she could barely bear it.
……
Many years later, Tan Shurun is very fortunate that the cycle of cause and effect in the world is destined in the dark.
If it weren't for the fact that she made a bet with God, chased Yue Yue and jumped off the cliff, and then came to the Qing clan by chance, she wouldn't have known the Loma patriarch, and the Loma patriarch was the teacher, and she wouldn't have accidentally bumped into the wallet behind the house, and then saw the photo.
……
Tan Shurun stared at the middle-aged man in the photo for a moment, his fingertips trembled uncontrollably, the oxygen in the air seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant, and breathing gradually became difficult.
She gently stroked the photo with her fingertips, and the tears accumulated so much that they finally overflowed her eyes, rolled down silently, snapped, and smashed on the photo.
Tan Shurun couldn't help but murmur, with longing, dependence, and chagrin, and called out a title that had not been called for decades.
“…… Grandpa, Grandpa..."
……
At the age of six, the gunfire and fire in the house not only made her an orphan, but also burned down the small building of the Tan family, all the traces of the family supporting each other through the spring, summer, autumn and winter, except for memories, when she was taken by her father to escape from that house, she left nothing.
Later, for a long, long time, until she died and was reborn again, and finally summed up, half a century was over, but she never saw her family again, and she sometimes thought that if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would soon forget about them.
However, in the midst of all kinds of suffering, God still treats her well.
Even if it's just a photo, it's enough for her to be happy for a long time.
His fingertips clenched the photo, his eyes were full of admiration, and Tan Shurun whispered to himself: "Grandpa, do you know, I miss you very much, I miss our yard, the swing, the vines, the soft grass all over the ground, the little yellow duck fluttering around, and grandpa, the story you tell ......"
The tears fell into a thread, and he couldn't stop it, his vision was blurred by tears, but Tan Shurun didn't dare to cry out for fear of attracting the attention of others.
"If only you were here, if you were ,......" can tell the truth to those who slander and slander your reputation.
The culprit who ruined the entire human race, the crazy perverted murderous demon, you are not such a person at all!
"Grandpa, you... Can you tell me why this is the way it is? ”
In the dimly lit hut, Tan Shurun covered his mouth tightly, as if someone had choked the side of his throat, suffocating and desperate.
In this world, the most uncomfortable thing is knowing that it is impossible, but still looking forward and waiting, and the assumption will come true.
……
Before the tears fell, the shouts of the patriarch and master suddenly came from behind him, and the footsteps burst out, from far to near, approaching the location where Tan Shurun was.
Tan Shurun clenched the photo, carefully tucked it in his pocket, then re-stuffed the wallet into the gap between the wooden boards, and then wiped away his tears, then copied the rag, pretended that nothing had happened, lowered his head, and carefully wiped the small box in front of him.
The patriarch walked behind Tan Shurun and stood still, and looked at the small room covered with cobwebs and dust, the sunlight poured down from the skylight on the roof, and a lonely light dispelled some of the yin and damp cold in the house, and refracted the dust floating in the air, like dancing.
"Little Book ......"
At first glance, Patriarch Loma felt that Tan Shurun, who was squatting on the ground, was very strange, and he shouted several times outside, but there was no answer.
As soon as the thought turned, Patriarch Loma had to sigh sullenly, the little girl now, her mind is very difficult to guess, even the old guy Sam doesn't know what he's thinking, and he fights against him all day long!
Patriarch Loma waved his hand, drove away the floating dust, frowned, and said depressedly: "Little book, this house is too dirty, don't stay here to clean, that's it, anyway, these things won't be needed for a while, you come out with me, let's go somewhere." ”
Master! I don't need you to let me clean it for a while? It's clear that they want to break me apart!
Tan Shurun scolded in his heart, but he still nodded obediently, got up slowly, and waited for Patriarch Loma to turn around and walk outside, then straightened up and cautiously followed.
……
The place where the Loma patriarch said he was going was actually Hengtai, there was no one around, and the valley was breezy and very comfortable.
Tan Shurun stood a little behind the right hand side of the Loma patriarch, quietly waiting for what the Loma patriarch was going to say next, she had a hunch that what the Loma patriarch said next was very likely to give her a big problem.
"Xiaoshu, that day here, you were floating on the water, and you were so badly injured, the people were not very happy that I saved you. Because you look so weird. Patriarch Loma paused, glanced at the little finch flying above the sky, and then continued: "However, we can't do such a thing as seeing death and not saving it. ”
Tan Shurun nodded and said gratefully: "The moment I fell off the cliff, death was very close to me. It's just that I didn't expect that in the end it was the master who pulled me back from the hands of death, master, although I said it a long time ago, I still want to say it again, thank you. ”
"Little book, you don't need to be polite. Until I can judge whether you are good or bad, all I can do is save you. ”
The patriarch master's words changed abruptly, his expression gradually became serious, and he said solemnly: "I won't do anything bad to you, but Xiaoshu, why were you hunted down by the Nanjing Military Region?" Who the hell are you? ”
Patriarch Loma knows that she is involved with the Nanjing Military Region? What about other than that? What else do you know?!
Tan Shurun's brain is very messy, Patriarch Loma obviously knows her grandfather, perhaps, the friend in Patriarch Loma's mouth is her grandfather, and even, the youngest granddaughter of her friend is her, but she still has concerns, and she doesn't dare to easily entrust it all in secret.
Tan Shurun hesitated again and again, until the patriarch master turned around and stared at her with great seriousness in his eyes that had gone through vicissitudes.
"My feelings tell me you're not a bad boy, so are you having any troubles? Little book, you can tell the master. ”
After thinking for a long time, Tan Shurun looked at the patriarch of Loma, and finally plucked up his courage and said slowly: "Master, my grandfather taught me when I was very young, he said, 'In front of the doctor, the patient is not good or bad, it is all life. For so many years, although I have not really become a doctor who treats diseases and saves people, I still keep this sentence firmly in my heart. ”
