……

Making a raft is a waste of time and energy, and when Roma told all the surviving people about his plan to leave Chunqing Mountain and go to the delta to find a granary, most of them expressed their willingness to follow him out and try it.

This leads to the problem of increasing the number of rafts that need to be made and the task becoming more onerous when time is limited.

Everyone's spirits were both excited and nervous, and almost as soon as Rome had finished his task with everyone, the people were all energetically arranged, and all the preparations before leaving were carried out in an orderly manner.

Finally, in a hurry, at noon the next day, six bamboo rafts were driven out in the hands of the tribesmen.

Lunch was cooked by Grandma Sam, and when she was full, Roma was called away by Patriarch Loma; Kiki nestled in Grandma Sam's arms, reluctant to give up; Tan Shurun squatted on the side of the platform, and after struggling for a long time, he decided to go to the Loma patriarch.

……

Before he walked to the treehouse, he heard the sound of a quarrel in the house, Tan Shurun paused, and after a few hesitations, he decided to turn to another path on tiptoe, and after a while, Tan Shurun came to the window of the treehouse and eavesdropped on the sound of the house.

At first, it was the sharp voice of the Loma patriarch, "You want to take revenge, that's your choice, I can't control it." But Qiqi was still young at that time, and she didn't know what was going on, this time, unless you had to, otherwise, you promised the patriarch and grandfather that you would never tell Qiqi about the Ye family back then. ”

The Ye family? Which Ye family? Tan Shurun felt that these two words were familiar, so he listened more seriously.

"Patriarch Grandpa, I understand." Luo Ma solemnly agreed, and then explained: "Those people outside only thought that the Ye family had no descendants for a long time, so they would give up looking for our whereabouts over the years, and Qiqi could grow up well." Therefore, before I am sure that I can revive the Ye family and take back all the Ye family, I will definitely protect Qiqi's life experience to the end. ”

With Roma's promise, Patriarch Loma seemed to be relieved, and his tone was not as stern as at the beginning, and then, Patriarch Loma explained Roma's many precautions when going out, no matter how big or small. Tan Shurun felt that the two should talk for a while before the conversation could end, so he simply squatted down in the corner of the wall, seriously thinking about where she had seen or heard the words 'Ye family'.

"The Ye family? The Ye family? The Ye family ...... "Talking about Shurun muttered silently, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Ye family?!

Could it be the Ye family?

In the Xi Shi case ten years ago, the faction that disappeared from the political parties in Beicheng was headed by Ye Hui, who was then the minister of economic affairs.

Ye Hui was also a popular candidate for the famous prime minister back then, and he was born in the Ye family in Hangzhou.

The Ye family in Hangzhou is a scholarly family, as a child of the Ye family, even though it is not a grassroots civilian background, but it is carefully cultivated by those flourishing wealthy families in Beicheng, and the heirs who turn their hands into clouds and rain are not in the same heavyweight class after all. Therefore, later, Ye Hui was able to work hard from Hangzhou all the way to the level of the Minister of Economic Affairs in Beicheng, and how strong his ability was, which can naturally be glimpsed.

Later, the Xi Shi case broke out, economic crimes emerged in an endless stream, and most of them were caused by people under Ye Hui's faction, naturally, Ye Hui led by Ye Hui could not escape the involvement, after an investigation, Ye Hui was imprisoned, and finally sentenced to death.

However, when the helicopter transporting Ye Hui arrived at the boundary of Nanjing, it was attacked by unknown people and tried to violently rescue Ye Hui.

As for Ye Hui's final ending, what she saw in the Zhanjia Library Pavilion was only a few strokes, Ye Hui still resisted after being arrested, and hijacked Gao Qi to try to escape again, and was finally killed by Gao Qi himself.

As for Ye Hui's family, it is said that they all fled the country.

Could it be that this Ye family is the Ye family?

Tan Shurun was so engrossed that he didn't notice that Roma and Patriarch Loma had finished chatting and left, and Patriarch Loma had already spotted her squatting on the side of the treehouse eavesdropping.

"Runrun, what are you doing?"

The head was caught off guard and was knocked by the dry smoke gun, and the pain was so painful that Tan Shurun instantly sobered up, looked up, and when he saw that the person who came was the patriarch of Loma, Tan Shurun wailed in his heart, and there was an embarrassment that the cheating was discovered by the teacher.

Tan Shurun rubbed his head and muttered, "Master, you have already found out?" ”

"I've crossed more bridges than you've walked, so you can hide this little trick from me?" Patriarch Loma glared at Tan Shurun, beckoned her to get up, and led the people into the house.

"It just so happens that you are here, I have something to tell you, so I don't have to go to you later."

Because before leaving, the time left for them to prepare was too hasty, and Tan Shurun didn't have time to think about it until this time, seeing that the patriarch of Loma was worried, and told the juniors who were about to go away one by one, Tan Shurun had a kind of thing, she still had to leave, and it was time to wave goodbye to the patriarch master.

It's just that if you want to 'say goodbye' when you leave this time, it's really hard.

“…… Master ......" Tan Shurun's eyes turned red, and he said sadly: "Master, you must live a long life, okay?" ”

"That's for sure! I'm so fit! Okay, don't be sad, it's like life and death, and we'll see you again! Patriarch Loma was determined, looked at Tan Shurun, and smiled kindly: "I believe in your master, my hunch is very accurate, let's ...... Will see you again. ”

Tan Shurun's eyes couldn't help but turn red again, he stepped forward and hugged Patriarch Loma, this is the first person to have a relationship with her grandfather in so long, and he is still a good friend of her grandfather since he was young, the taste is extremely indescribable, like being hammered with a fist, no external injuries, but there is pain inside.

In silence, the patriarch patted Tan Shurun's back, and for a long time, neither of them spoke.

……

In the end, it was the patriarch of Loma who sent Tan Shurun a trembling forehead again, and joked: "Although the master is still handsome, don't take the opportunity to take advantage of the master!" Come, the master has something serious to tell you. ”

Tan Shurun had a hunch, and what the patriarch said next was absolutely shocking, but who knew that it really happened to confirm her guess.

"Back then, in school, your grandfather, me, and another classmate named Ye Hui, the three of us often played together. Your grandfather and I studied medicine, he studied economics, and after graduating, we both embarked on different paths in life because of different ideals......"

The later story is similar to the life and deeds of Ye Hui that Tan Shurun saw in the book, but, listening to the end of Patriarch Loma, Tan Shurun was left in his heart, 'more and more shocked', five big words.

"Ye Hui was framed by someone back then, became a death row prisoner for economic crimes, the tree fell and scattered, and the Ye family has declined since then. Originally, Ye Hui knew that he couldn't escape that catastrophe, so he planned to send his only granddaughter out of the country, who knows, Assistant Ye escorted Ye Hui's youngest granddaughter to see Ye Hui for the last time, and when he was about to leave from the airport, he was robbed and killed halfway. ”

"And what about Ye Hui?"

Tan Shurun was anxious to know the plot behind, as far as she knew, Ye Hui was shot and killed by Gao Qi who arrived later because he tried to escape, so was it because he learned the news that his little granddaughter was killed, so he was stimulated?

Patriarch Loma looked at it and reacted unusually, and was extremely nervous to talk about Shurun, although he had a strange reaction to Tan Shurun, but he didn't think deeply. He fell into recollection, and said with great hatred: "The person who framed Ye Hui ordered someone to create the false impression that Ye Hui was trying to escape from prison, and teamed up with Gao Qi, the commander of the Nanjing Military Region, to kill Ye Hui on the way to Nanjing Prison. ”

He hurried to find his old friend, full of gun holes, a bloody man lying in a pool of blood.

Tan Shurun saw the hatred that he had never felt before in the eyes of the patriarch of Loma, and he suddenly panicked, and hurriedly changed the topic: "But in fact, Ye Hui's youngest granddaughter is not dead, is she?" For some reason, Ye Hui's youngest granddaughter came to Chunqingshan, where she grew up as an ordinary Qing girl, and changed her name to Qiqi. Is that right? ”

After listening to Tan Shurun's speculation, Patriarch Loma nodded appreciatively and said with satisfaction: "You are still smart. That's right, Ye Hui's assistant Ye Hui once saved their family's lives. So when the youngest granddaughter of the Ye family was in distress, he replaced the youngest granddaughter of the Ye family with his own youngest daughter, rescued the person, and in order not to make people suspicious, he ordered his son to take the youngest granddaughter of the Ye family to Chunqingshan according to the address given by Ye Hui, and took refuge in Ye Hui's former old friend, that is, me. ”

……

Ye Hui's life, even including the fall of the Ye family, in the eyes of the former Tan Shurun, is just some words recorded in the book, and it is not painful to read, but now, sitting in front of the patriarch of Loma, listening to him talk about everything that has happened in person, when I think of the characters in these stories, there are friends she knows, who can talk, can laugh, the living Roma, and Kiki......

The feeling was suddenly different, even if it was not empathy, but there was always a trace of unusual feeling in the bottom of my heart.

Patriarch Loma sighed: "Kiki still insists on going out, I can't stop it." But Runrun, if you can, please take care of her more, try your best, after you go out, don't let her get involved in the messy things in the past. ”

Roma promised him that he wouldn't let Kiki know about her origins.

However, he can't trust Roma, Roma's ambition is too big, and Kiki is too blindly obsessed with Roma, so an unequal and fragile relationship, once there is a force majeure external force invading, it is inevitable to fall apart.

"Okay, I promise you."

Tan Shurun almost didn't hesitate, so he responded to the request of the Loma patriarch, and after chatting for a while, Tan Shurun finally remembered that there was a more important reason why she came to find the Loma patriarch this time, and that was ......

"Master, I have to admit a mistake to you." Tan Shurun took out the photo from his coat pocket, handed it to Patriarch Loma, and said apologetically: "Before, you asked me to clean the cabinet in the small room at the back of the house, and I accidentally found the leather wallet in the gap of the wooden board, and then I saw this photo. ”

Tan Shurun was apologetic, lowered his head, and explained in a sincere tone: "At that time, I was not very sure about your identity, master, so I took the photo away because I wanted to study it. This is my fault, please forgive me for my behavior. ”

When the words fell, the patriarch of Luoma took the photo handed over by Tan Shurun, and was very surprised: after his friend had an accident, he searched around, not only did not find any trace of Tan Shurun, but almost attracted the attention of the person behind the scenes, and on the way back to the mountain from Yucheng, he almost had an accident on the boat, and later, even the news that Chunqing Mountain would be developed on a large scale as a scenic spot.

In order to protect himself and protect the people of the Qing tribe, he can only cover up all the connections related to his friends.

However, the astonishment in Patriarch Loma's eyes was quickly replaced by relief.

That day, he just casually found a reason to support the little apprentice, so that he could talk to Sam about the affairs of Rome and the Ye family, who knows... It was such a coincidence, the photos that had been hidden for nearly 20 years were easily found by Runrun, a little apprentice.

The bond of blood, the bond in the dark, is very wonderful.

Patriarch Loma shook his head, patted his little apprentice on the shoulder, and sighed resignedly: "It's okay, the master doesn't blame you." Perhaps, your grandfather knows that you are here and misses you, so he can't wait to jump out and meet you. ”

Seeing that Patriarch Loma didn't blame her in the slightest, Tan Shurun turned red again because of Patriarch Loma's casual remark 'I miss you'.

"Thank you, master......" Tan Shurun sniffled, suppressed the sour crying on the tip of his nose, remembering the other purpose of this trip, Tan Shurun hesitated for a while, cautiously, and asked: "Master, since you have such a good relationship with my grandfather, do you know if my grandfather was doing any research before he died?" ”

Those few documents on the USB flash drive, about people. What does the optimization and improvement of animal genes and cruel human trials have to do with the origin of the zombie virus? What does all this have to do with her grandfather? Or what role did her grandfather play in it?

Tan Shurun was desperate to know the answer, and she hoped that she could get some clues from the mouth of the Loma patriarch.

Even if it's just a few words.

Patriarch Loma's astonishment could barely be concealed, he was surprised that when it happened, it was just a six-year-old child's conversation and book, and he would ask this question, and the undisguised expectation and longing in the eyes of the little apprentice disturbed Patriarch Loma's thoughts.

It stands to reason that Runrun couldn't have known about that 'plan' at all, but why did she suddenly ask about the research that her grandfather was doing?

Patriarch Loma was keenly aware that the little apprentice in front of him probably already knew something, however, because of the agreement he had with her grandfather back then, he could only apologize for not revealing a word, and he liked Runrun's little apprentice very much, and he selfishly didn't want her to get involved in these things.

"Why do you ask?"

"I ......"

Tan Shurun looked at the patriarch of Loma, the gray-haired old man's eyes dodged, and then he simply looked directly at the ground.

In this way, even though Patriarch Loma had tried his best to cover it up, the subtle expression on his face still allowed Tan Shurun to catch some clues, Patriarch Loma, he must know something, but he didn't say it.

"My grandfather left a notebook, and the content of the notes was so shocking. So I'm curious, master, I'm also a biology major, so I want to know more. ”

Before Tan Shurun's words fell, Patriarch Loma's heart was already much more relaxed.

The friend he remembers, as far as he knows, has a very strange habit of never taking notes.

From the beginning of their young acquaintance, even if the content is complicated and redundant experimental data and bundled research records, the friends all rely on brain memory, so the notebook mentioned by the little apprentice is really doubtful.

Thinking of this, Patriarch Loma decided to stop the topic, so he shook his head decisively, and said with regret: "Since you met on your first birthday, I have cut off contact with your grandfather. Although he had retired from the position of president of the National Research Institute at that time, and he no longer had to live that busy life with a lot of chores and difficult to get out, according to what he wrote in his letter, you were clingy at that time, and you couldn't leave him for a moment, so ah, where did your grandfather have time to participate in any research? Runrun, don't think too much. ”

The wind blew in through the open window, carrying moisture, and hit Tan Shurun's face, wetting her cheeks, and Tan Shurun nodded to show that she understood.

Patriarch Loma must have known something, but depending on the situation, he wasn't going to tell her.

Since this is the case, Tan Shurun secretly made up his mind, so he could only find other ways to investigate the events of the year.

……

The mountains are full of flowers, and the empty valley is silent.

Tan Shurun walked on the mountain road back to Hengtai, her head was a mess - about her grandfather's 'research', the patriarch's categorical denial just now, but it deepened her doubts about the authenticity of the 'research'.

It's just that......

Tan Shurun recalled that the Loma patriarch was obviously reluctant to talk more, and it was impossible for the Loma patriarch to speak, and now he could only think of other ways.

Or many stay for a while, there will be other unexpected gains, but the time does not wait for her.

The granary of the delta must be taken as a stronghold, which will be the basis of her absolute force and enormous power.

……

The magnates above the clouds, in their innate subconscious, the actions of the ants can be ignored.

In the past six months, all the things that I have personally experienced, the death row prisoner who came back from the dead, Dye Suliu, has lived a chic life in prison and is sought after by everyone; What is supposed to be a prison for justice to suppress evil has become a breeding ground for desire and the unbridled spread of evil......

All of this is revealing a cruel but true rule of the game to her.

As long as you're strong enough, the truth?

What you say is the truth.

……

Kicking the stones all the way back to the horizontal platform, what fell into the eyes of Tan Shurun was the little girl who was still coquettish and cute in Grandma Sam's arms, smiling brightly and brightly in the sun, like a little sunflower, growing warmly and happily.

She is lucky, and Tan Shurun envies her very much.

At least, I don't remember the love and spoiling of my young elders, and even the great changes that my family has suffered, so I can live as Kiki unscrupulously without having to carry the past.

Talking about books and hating can't look up to the sky and howl, she protects herself from half a bucket of water squeaking and shaking, and she dares to boast about Haikou in front of the Loma patriarch and take on Qiqi's personal safety, it's crazy!

was depressed, but Qiqi saw her, waved her hand vigorously, Tan Shurun saw her smile like a flower, and after a few entanglements, she could only admit it silently, and sighed: "Alas, okay, I said the wrong thing, the price is a bit big." ”

……

An hour later, the tribesmen set out in full gear, and Tan Shurun stood on the bamboo raft and waved goodbye to Patriarch Loma.

After a long time, I hope there will be a return date.
