CHAPTER XIX

Then I flipped it back, and the paper behind it was mutilated and completely illegible. I finally found a complete one, the handwriting on it is not as handsome as the previous one, and it looks like it is very difficult to write, but I can barely tell that it is still from the same person. I saw that it was written:

November 1988

It's been nearly eight years since I've been hiding in this dark and damp underground, and it's almost winter. What does such an endless day mean to me? Xiao Haidu is already nine years old, I am here today, and I heard him ask who his parents are, my poor child, you don't know, your father has always been by your side!

It's just that we can't see each other, I've become a monster, it's terrible, God, let's bury this secret here forever. Father, your life is too hard, you have done enough, but I really can't stand it anymore, you have let me live for ten more years, it is really enough.

Then I flipped it back again, and there were only a few pieces of messy handwriting.

After reading these diaries, Qi Hai sat down in his chair with dull eyes and didn't say a word.

Takakawa said, "What happened in between? Why did it go straight from 1981 to 1988, in between? ”

Gao Chuan looked at Qi Haileng, so he carefully sorted out the scraps, and sat on another chair without speaking.

After being silent for a while, Qi Hai spoke: "This is incredible, it turns out that my father is not dead, he has been hiding in the cave, he hid in the ground when I don't remember him, but why didn't grandpa tell me?" Why hide it? What's going on? Why is he willing to hide underneath for eight years? I haven't seen the light of day for eight years! Why? Why, exactly? I really don't understand why he would rather hide in the ground than see me. ”

Gao Chuan comforted: "I think there must be a very important reason for this, but we can't know at the moment, I saw in the diary that your father loves you very much, right?" Now you should feel glad that you finally know who your father is. ”

Qi Hai did not feel the slightest bit of happiness, on the contrary, there were more mysteries in his mind at this time than ever, he said: "These things are too strange, and I believe that grandpa's disappearance is directly related to these things." The middle-aged man who appeared in your shop in Yunlong Lake and those people last night were by no means accidental, there must be a connection between them. The suspicion in Qi Hai's heart intensified his worry about his grandfather, and he continued, "No, I want to find my grandfather, I want to find out what is going on." ”

Gao Chuan echoed: "That's right, now that I think about it, the middle-aged man's words are not wrong, he said that our grandfather once participated in the anti-Japanese resistance, didn't the notes also mention that Qi Ye used to be a soldier, as for my grandfather, they used to be comrades-in-arms, right?" Let's find that person, he must know the ins and outs of the matter. ”

Qi Hai shook his head and said, "But where to find him now?" Even if we could find him, how would he tell us if he told you not to get involved? ”

Gao Chuan said: "But we want to figure it out, except to find this."

What else can people do? We don't know what happened to the two old men. ”

Qi Hai said: "Yes, the only thing that can be determined at present is that there must be a huge secret hidden in it, think about it, the two old men have been hiding here for thirty years, what are they going to hide, for thirty years, they haven't even said a word to us." ”

Gao Chuan was silent, he thought about it left and right, and he couldn't understand it, he said: "The Dusk Yin Village at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain mentioned in the diary, I don't know if it's still there?" ”

Qi Hai grabbed his black and thick hair, and he let out a long sigh of relief and said, "You know what? I went to Zhongnanshan once many years ago, and I had a classmate from Xi'an, who invited me to his house when I was in college. ”

"Your classmate lives in Dusk Village?" Gao Chuan asked hurriedly.

Qi Hai shook his head and said, "No, he just lives at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain." ”

After saying this, Qi Hai pulled his hair and didn't move, and after a while, he made a decision. He let go of the hand that was pulling his hair, sat up straight, and said with a serious expression: "Xiaochuan, I think since my grandfather moved here from that place called Dusk Hidden Village, why don't we follow this clue to trace the source and go there to see." Qi Hai saw that Gao Chuan didn't speak, probably because he also guessed his decision, and then said, "Maybe a long time ago, we have been involved in a huge mystery, which may involve more people and things than we imagined, we only have a little bit to find the truth, maybe only in this way can we find the whereabouts of grandpa." ”

Gao Chuan knew that Qi Hai was a persistent person, and he would definitely do it if he had this idea, but he still reminded: "Of course I have no opinion, grandpa must be found, but don't forget, that mysterious middle-aged man said those alarmist words to me, let's not go to find out the truth, we still have to be cautious." ”

When Gao Chuan said this, he felt a little regretful, regretting why he didn't learn more about that person at that time, but who could have predicted what would happen later?

Qi Hai's expression was very serious, he looked preoccupied, he said: "No, now it seems that that person's words are not alarmist, have you forgotten what happened last night?" Although we are fine now, haven't you seen a man killed in front of you? ”

Qi Haiyi said, Gao Chuan recalled the tragic situation of Lao Liu being booby-trapped by Brother Hei and Xiao Niu last night, and his heart couldn't help but pound. He thought of the middle-aged man telling him, "If you know something, you won't be able to save your life." "Now it seems that the sacrifice has begun.

Gao Chuan looked at Qi Hai's slightly pale face, and his other worry surfaced again, that person said that Qi Hai was terminally ill, what did this sentence mean? Anyway, in his current opinion, Qi Hai is still healthy and unharmed. As always, he is handsome and radiant, where can he see any signs of illness? But after all kinds of strange and strange things in the past two days, he had to worry about this matter, and the more he worried, the more he didn't dare to say it, so he could only keep it in his heart.

Gao Chuan said: "For the time being, regardless of what that person said, let's just say what we should do now, I'm afraid it's pointless to continue to wait here, maybe those people in the night will come back if they don't find it this time, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous for us to stay." ”

Qi Hai nodded in agreement with Gao Chuan's words, now this home has changed for them, this is no longer the place that can bring peace and peace of mind, but has become a dangerous Longtan tiger's den. Besides, can a home where a loved one is not there still be a home?

Qi Hai stretched out his hand to pass the stack of diaries in Gao Chuan's hand, and spread them on the table and read them slowly, now that he knew that these diaries were from his father's hand, when he looked at them again, the emotions in his heart naturally changed. He looked at the pain expressed in it, and he also felt a faint pain, seeing that there was love for himself inside, and his nose was slightly pantothenic. In his memory, he had never experienced the days of having a father, and at this moment these words brought him a strange feeling that he had never felt before, and he could also feel the tenacity and strength conveyed in the words.

Qi Hai calmed down his excitement, and he said to Gao Chuan very firmly: "Even if there is danger, I will find my grandfather, I want to know all the truth." ”

Qi Hai's firmness also made Gao Chuan firm, he said: "Of course, I also want to know the truth, otherwise I am afraid that I will live in confusion and worry forever in the future." ”

Gao Chuan looked out the window, the sun had come out, the sun after the storm appeared more dazzling, and the golden light shrouded the entire mountain. Gao Chuan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the vast mountains in the distance.
