Chapter 19: Surfacing
"If I'm not mistaken, one tomb belongs to Wu Yidou, and the other belongs to the woman, right?" I looked at my dad and asked.
"Yes, your grandfather and I dug up the new grave and opened the coffin, and I saw that in the coffin was the woman who had been with me for a few days, she was wearing a red wedding dress, I don't know how long she had been buried here, and when I saw her, she was like she was asleep." My dad said, and at this time my dad's eyes began to become misty.
"And then?" I asked.
"I burned her." My dad said.
I looked at my dad face to face, Yu Li and my dad didn't seem to have done anything wrong, he and his grandfather were trapped in the mountains and chased by those crazy cats, and it was understandable to do anything in a hurry, but Yu Qing was indeed a little unreasonable, after all, even if this woman was a ghost, she didn't do anything to hurt my dad, of course, I put myself in my shoes and thought that if I faced such a situation, I would do the same. Human nature is inherently selfish.
"What about after it burns?" I asked.
My dad paused, I saw him glance at the direction of my second uncle's room and stopped talking, but finally my dad sighed and said: "I walked out of the mountains and returned home with your grandfather after burning the body, I immediately asked your grandfather what was going on, but he didn't know, he did have an agreement with Wu Yidou, Wu Yidou said that he had a little daughter who was about the same age as me, he and your grandfather hit it off at first sight, it was better to be in-laws, and then Wu Yidou died without carrying the criticism, Your grandfather didn't take this matter to heart, and when this girl came, your grandfather only thought that Wu Yidou might have written a family letter at that time, so his family knew that the two had made a marriage contract, and he saw that I was very satisfied with the girl, so he didn't stop it, as for why this girl was a ghost, how her body appeared next to Wu Yidou's grave in the mountains, your grandfather didn't know anything, but I and your grandfather both knew that the matter was absolutely not over, so your grandfather entered the city the next morning, That afternoon, your grandfather brought back a man whom I had never seen, who was about fifty or sixty years old, and your grandfather was very respectful to him, and later I learned that this man was the Dharma King whom your grandfather had invited back in order to deal with the matter. Your grandfather and this person went into the mountain for three days, and when they came out, your grandfather told me that the matter was settled, but the Dharma King said to me, although the matter was temporarily resolved, but since I had already married the man and let go of burning the flesh of the man, this is a debt I owe, and I will have to pay it sooner or later. ”
My dad stopped when he said this, I thought he was done, but he gave me the feeling that there was something important to say.
I handed my dad a cigarette and said, "And then?" ”
"That person took your second uncle." My dad whispered.
"What, which one? That mage?! I exclaimed.
"Well, your grandfather said that the mage had a miserable life and had no children under his knees, and at that time your third uncle was still pregnant and was not born, so he asked that person to take your second uncle away to support him in his old age." When my dad said this, his face was full of guilt.
I looked at the second uncle's room, and although he didn't come out or open the door, I saw his shadow through the window. I know that all the conversations I have with my dad now, my second uncle must be listening to them.
"Is it my grandfather who is friends with that person, and seeing that person is lonely and pitiful, he temporarily decided to pass on his second uncle to him, or when his grandfather went to find him, he promised others to send him a son, on the condition that he would solve the family's affairs?" I looked at my dad and asked.
My dad shook his head with a bitter face and said, "I don't know, Xiaotian, in fact, I have slowly figured it out later, the relationship between your grandfather and Wu Yidou must not be so simple, but I don't want to get involved, or I don't dare, especially after I have you, I don't dare anymore, do you understand?" ”
My dad got up, walked into the house, and closed the door.
I sat in the courtyard for a long time, and at last I stood up, walked to my second uncle's door and knocked softly, he had not yet slept, and soon opened the door, and I still could not see any emotion in his old face.
"Second uncle, have you heard it all?" I asked.
He nodded.
The second uncle sat on the chair, I sat on the edge of the bed and smoked a cigarette, in fact, up to now, the truth of the matter has been peeled off layer by layer, it turns out that everything is related to my grandfather, Wu Yidou and grandpa must have some agreement, grandpa is indeed treacherous, but grandpa is an ordinary person, he may covet Wu Yidou's secret, but his ability makes him powerless to digest this secret, and he is not enough to deal with the revenge of the Wu family.
The matter of that female corpse is the first wave of revenge of the Wu family.
The female corpse will not bury herself next to Wu Yidou in the deep mountains with long legs, it is obvious that the Wu family came, and brought the female corpse of the Wu family, and the Wu family also began their own revenge, grandpa found this, he had to ask others for help, the object of his help was the Dharma King, through the hand of this Dharma King to deal with the Wu family, let this Dharma King make a move is likely to be to give the second uncle to someone else as a son, if I knew the grandfather before, I feel that he will not do this, But now my grandfather in my heart can definitely do such a thing.
He had to take advantage of it.
Maybe Grandpa regretted it at this time, but there was no turning back for him.
After the Dharma King made his move, my family had a peaceful life for more than 20 years, and my second uncle followed the Dharma King as his son, and now he has become the Chen Changsheng in front of whom no one can see through.
I have to say that grandpa's abacus is very good, and to give the second uncle away, the first is to make friends with a person who can deal with the Wu family, and the second is that after the second uncle completes his studies in the future, he can let the second uncle come back to protect the family, and even say that he can use the second uncle to get what he got by treachery back then but couldn't digest it. It's a win-win-win-win thing.
"You knew everything that your grandfather did from beginning to end, that's why you didn't want to see him at first, you didn't want to come back, and you didn't even want to have anything to do with this family, because you don't like this family, right?" I looked at the second uncle and said.
The second uncle chuckled, his eyes were foggy, he didn't affirm, but he didn't deny it.
"Why did you decide to come back and help?" I asked again.
The second uncle still didn't answer, I can't see through what he's thinking.
"Let's get out." The second uncle said to me, and his voice was very calm, so calm that I couldn't hear any emotion.
I went back to my room, and after a while I saw my dad packing a bunch of luggage and walking out of the room, I quickly went out and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm moving to school." My dad said.
I know what he's thinking, he doesn't want us to continue to see him being haunted by female ghosts at night, my dad has a slight cleanliness habit, both physically and psychologically, he doesn't want to lose face in front of others, even if my second uncle and I are not outsiders.
"Why bother?" I said. I want to persuade him that having a second uncle is not a problem in everything, and that the second uncle can solve everything, but when I think about the second uncle's attitude towards this matter, I don't know how to speak, the second uncle seems to be an iron-faced and selfless judge, he adheres to the attitude of the Dharma King back then, thinking that this is a debt owed by my father, and I can be late but I have to pay it back sooner or later, so he doesn't have any intention of making a move.
"I'm not afraid, Xiaotian, I want to see her, I'm not afraid that she will come to me. When I was young, I really owed her, she could hate me for so many years, just because I owed her so much, I knew that this day would come from the time the Dharma King left a message, and now that your mother is gone, and you have grown up, I have nothing to worry about, even if she also burned me in wildfire, I admit it. My dad said with a smile, and after talking about it, my dad seemed to be relieved.
I couldn't stop him from what he said, so he nodded to me and went to school with his bed.
After my dad disappeared from my view, I finally couldn't help but crouch on the ground. I wanted to cry but I couldn't, it's really hard to cry when I'm such a big man, but I don't have the slightest strength in my body.
I don't know when, the second uncle stood beside me, and he gently patted me on the shoulder.
I looked up at him with red eyes and said, "Is it really necessary to pay for my dad with blood?" ”
"This was the agreement of the year, at least I can't save him." My second uncle said.
I frowned, the second uncle seemed to have something to say, but he didn't give me time to think about it, turned around and went back to the house, since he came back, except for my grandfather's funeral day, he hasn't been out of this yard at any other time, I really admire his endurance!
But I finally knew that my second uncle, who seemed to be ruthless, was not really like a stone, and he still felt sorry for his eldest brother!
He didn't deny that my dad had to die.
At the same time, he is also telling me that because of the agreement, he can't save it, but someone else can!
