Chapter 8 Grandpa

It takes seven hours to take the train from Changchun to Erdao Baihe Town, and it takes a night to walk, Li Shidong sits on the bench and dozes off constantly, just like a chicken pecking rice, and he frowned at the smell of feet in the carriage and the smoke wafting from the connection. Speaking of which, it is difficult enough to ask for leave with Zhang Wudi. Endless chatter, there is no waiter in any store, why do you still ask for leave at this time, no one takes care of the business in the store, Li Shidong was stunned for a moment, but, the ghost thing is not a joke, just ask what can life be worth, Li Shidong found all the excuses and reasons, and finally told the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family that they had a car accident, Zhang Wudi reluctantly gave him three days off, and deducted half a month's salary, Li Shidong was helpless, who let himself not study hard at the beginning, as soon as he entered the waiter, it was as deep as the sea, no way, I could only admit it, and took the train that night and hurried home.

Li Shidong is 25 years old this year, his family lives in Wugu Village, Baihe Town, there are parents and grandfathers at home, Wugu Village is poor, unlike Baihe Town, in recent years, Baihe Town has been quite rich due to the Changbai Mountain tourist area, although it is not comparable with Yanji, but in the eyes of Li Shidong, the children in these villages, it seems to have become a high-end, atmospheric, high-grade big city. Li Shidong came to Changchun to work at the age of 18, no matter whether Changchun is poor or rich, but after all, he is the provincial capital, this mentality is similar to the current Beipiao, I feel that the provincial capital, the capital, there are many opportunities to get rich overnight, although this is not necessarily the case, but there are many difficulties, but it still can't stop hundreds of millions of migrant workers across the country, Beipiao pursues happiness.

Li Shidong's parents are farmers who do their duty, honest and honest, facing the loess with their backs to the sky. In Li Shidong's childhood and youth, it seems that his grandfather had the greatest influence on him. Li Shidong's grandfather was a village teacher when he was young, and he was the only honorable educator in the only primary school in the village at that time. When Li Shidong was young, many villagers in the village did not know how to read, so he wrote a letter, read a newspaper, and learned a spirit or something, all of which were organized by this old teacher to help the villagers, so Mr. Li's name was extremely loud in the nearby villages, and everyone affectionately called him Mr. Li. Mr. Li is now in his prime, no longer go out to write letters to people, read the newspaper, do not use reading glasses to read the newspaper by himself is a problem, and now young people are not illiterate, although not to say how high the level of education is, but at least have received nine years of compulsory education, and even a few college students, there is basically no place to use Mr. Li, he also has a leisure, every day to play chess, drink tea, it can be said that it is quiet and far-reaching, spend its ten thousand years in peace.

Li Shidong had to take the car after taking the train, and when he arrived in the village, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and his butt hurt when he sat down. At the entrance of the second aunt's shop at the entrance of the village, a group of children are playing with ice cream, the road into the village is still so quiet, still so peaceful, occasionally a few dogs who don't know whose family looked around and walked away. All this Li Shidong is so familiar, no matter how long he leaves, this is home, a place that cannot disappear in his heart, a place that often appears in dreams, a place where he wants to go back as long as he is injured, a place full of father's broad shoulders and mother's love......

Li Shidong took a happy step and hurried to the door step by step. Before entering the house, he shouted eagerly: "Mom! Father! Grandfather! I am back! "There seems to be no one in the client's house, not even the big yellow dog. Li Shidong pushed the courtyard door strangely, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa?" No, I'm back! "The courtyard door was pushed open, but there was still no one to talk." Ay? It's really strange, why did you go, the courtyard door is not locked? ”

Li Shidong walked straight into the house, the fire of the stove was still on, he went from house to house to see if he didn't hear his voice in which room, there was no one in the main house, there was no room in the side house, strange, what about people, Li Shidong pondered suspiciously, grandpa should be drinking tea in the side house at this time, why is no one there today, he instinctively went to the next house, pushed open the door of the next room, everything in front of him stunned him, he was stunned, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe everything in front of him, his father, mother and grandfather, Even the big yellow dog that grew up with him fell in a pool of blood, his whole body was torn in half, and the death was extremely terrifying, Li Shidong froze in place for a long time, and fell to his knees with a thud, he crawled to his dearest relatives, trying to distinguish these his closest relatives, the people who raised him, and the people he loved the most. When he finally wiped the blood off the faces of the three people and saw the faces of the three people clearly, he only felt a sweet throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he howled and cried, "Why? Mom, Dad, Grandpa, why is that? Who killed you and why? A wave of dizziness hit, and it was pitch black in front of him, and Li Shidong fainted.

"Dongzi, Dongzi." Is it Mom? Li Shidong seemed to see his mother bring him hot roasted sweet potatoes, "Go, your father is in the field, go and bring food to your father." Mother said to him with a smile, "En" Li Shidong nodded, jumped up and picked up the lunch box and walked towards the field, just out of the door, he saw his grandfather drinking tea on the rocking chair, "Dongdong, where are you going?" Grandpa asked lovingly. Go and bring food to Daddy! Li Shidong felt that his voice was extremely immature, and his grandfather was so young. Oh, that's good, go and put it, grandpa will give pocket money and buy candy for a while. Li Shidong happily took a coin, bouncing away, the sunset, the fragrance of the rice field with the breeze blowing through Li Shidong's cheeks, heart, trouser legs, everything is so comfortable and beautiful, in the field, the father grabbed Li Shidong who was hiding with him, and swept his itch hard, father and son ate together with the sunset, chatted happily together, walked together in the ditch, caught dragonflies together, planted seedlings together, buckled frogs together, went home hand in hand, and ......... together

Li Shidong woke up under the shaking of the aunt next door, he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams, although the village chief and the blind date full of houses were noisy, or whispering, or shaking his head and sighing, although the sound of police cars sharply cut through the tranquility of this small village, although everything seemed to try his best to pull him back to reality, but he didn't seem to care, he wanted to sleep, go to the world in his dreams, go to the world with his relatives, at least he wouldn't feel cold there, he wouldn't feel dark, Someone who is accompanied by something that seems to be something that is not worth cherishing and boasting about, when he opens his eyes are out of reach, is this fate? He left a tear in his eyes......

There is no way to solve such a case, and the police can't explain the reason, what kind of psychopathic person is, what kind of tools can be used to tear people in half, and they are not afraid of the other party's resistance, and the family is honest and does their duty, and never makes enemies with others, this is an extremely difficult to explain big and important case, but people always have to be buried, this is a rural area, and they still uphold the principle of being buried in the ground. On the day of his burial, the sky was overcast, and the drizzle seemed to show his grief. After the whole village buried the three members of the Li family, the three and three dispersed, only Li Shidong was still kneeling there, unable to move, why? He still couldn't figure it out, couldn't find the reason, like a magician who took his favorite lollipop in front of a child and didn't give it back to him. After patting Li Shidong on the shoulder a few times and seeing that he didn't react, the village chief also sighed and left. Li Shidong didn't want to leave, he just wanted to sleep here, sleep next to his grandfather, father, and mother, and listen to them talk to him, even if it was a word, or hold his hand, even once......

It was dark, the dark clouds in the sky obscured the bright moon and the enlightened starlight, so that the lost birds could no longer distinguish the direction they came, Li Shidong was still kneeling in front of the grave, a drop of tears had turned into a stream of anger, filling his heart, he clenched his fists, his nails had sunk into the flesh and oozing blood droplets, he was still asking why, but the pain turned into anger, he wanted to find out who took the person he loved the most, he wanted to kill his whole family, kill him nine clans, and even dig out his heart to see what color it was, His eyes have been bloodshot, anger has overcome reason, although he still doesn't know who the murderer is, but the thought of "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than miss one" has filled his brain, he seems to feel that his life for more than twenty years is wrong, why be a good person, why be such a principled person, is this the result, he laughed at himself with laughter, why? Why are those murderers, corrupt officials, robbers and robbers still alive and well, while good people are dying so miserably, why? Why?

"Dongzi, Dongzi" In a trance, he heard someone calling his name, this voice was so familiar, this upright and resolute voice was very familiar to him, "Grandpa? He looked around with delight, looking for the direction of the sound. But where was Grandpa, the darkness everywhere and the little house lights in the distance seemed to laugh at him for this impossibility, Grandpa was gone, and would never talk to him again. He turned around and smiled wryly, smiling ill-fated.

"Dongzi, Dongzi" The familiar voice sounded again, Li Shidong stood up suddenly, his numb legs had lost his intuition, and the long-term lack of blood supply made Li Shidong sit on the ground again, but these are no longer important, Li Shidong looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw a white shadow at the grave smiling at him, this shadow flashed and flashed, like an old movie released from film. "Grandpa!" Li Shidong exclaimed unconsciously, yes, this shadow is not his grandfather, who else will it be? He ran towards the shadow, trying to hug the old man who loved him, but at the touch of his arm passed through, leaving a firefly-like light in the shadow.

"Dongzi, I'm gone," the old man said to Li Shidong kindly, "Don't worry, don't think about revenge, nothing in this world is absolute, this is fate, it is the fate of my Li family, you have to remember, forget about these unhappy things, be a good person, do things well." The shadow of the old man nodded to Li Shidong while smiling, and Li Shidong's tears were raining down with infinite pain and pain, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and shouted heartbreakingly to the white shadow: "No! No! Grandpa, take me with you, don't leave me alone! Grandpa........."

The white shadow sighed and said slowly: "Child, this is all fate, it can't be changed, starting from a decision made by your grandfather's grandfather, these are already inevitable endings, obedient, go, go......"

"No!" Li Shidong frantically smashed this black land that gave birth to him and raised him with both fists, "Tell me, why?" Who killed you? Who is it? ”

"It doesn't matter who it is, it's all a certainty," the white shadow shook his head, tilting his head to the sky. "It's all a fixed number..... remember that you are a member of the Li family, live strongly, be strong, ....." As he spoke, his voice became more and more ethereal, and the white figure gradually dispersed, Li Shidong stood up and ran to the white shadow, and hurriedly scratched his hands, "Grandpa, grandpa, don't go, don't go, grandpa, grandpa!" ”

The white shadow disappeared, and the figures of father, mother, and grandfather suddenly appeared in the sky, waved to Li Shidong, turned his head with a smile, and disappeared into the darkness.

Li Shidong's tears have dried up, he seems to have cried blind, he doesn't know how to let himself breathe, can't he take revenge, can't he go with his closest relatives? No, he can't choose to commit suicide, he is a member of the Li family, and the people of the Li family should live strongly, this is the truth that his grandfather taught him since he was a child, so what should he do, how can he calm the fire in his chest, the sadness and resentment in his heart, he still hasn't found the answer, it seems that grandpa doesn't want him to find the answer, but, I don't know if the answer is the best answer? He lay on the ground, not wanting to move, not wanting to move, so be it, or tomorrow there will be a better reason......

"Hahahaha," an eerie shrill laugh came from the darkness not far away, "do you want to know the answer?" Want to hear a story? Come on, come on, the old lady will tell you! Li Shidong stood up suddenly, his back was cold, this voice was familiar to him, "Ghosts, ghost girls?!" ”
