Chapter 38: Memory
The dimly lit basement was dimly lit, and rows of bookshelves full of books were neatly arranged, and a tall and slender figure stood in the middle of the bookshelf, pulling out a dusty gray-covered diary from memory.
Finding nothing, the man never found what he was looking for. "Did you find it?" It's a promise.
"Not yet." The deep male voice echoed in the dim space, the books and diaries were all sorted by individual, the seat where the Mei Pavilion stood was the area where the old man was placed, and the area where the Mei Pavilion did not use things.
He took out a diary, blew the dust on it, and opened the blue diary at random, but his eyes widened when he saw the pattern on it. The immature handwriting outlines a lotus-shaped pattern, and a snake with a blue body and red eyes is painted under the lotus.
"It's exactly the same."
Walking up to Yan Nuo's side, his brows furrowed when he saw the pattern on the diary, this was his handwriting, and the pattern on it was naturally drawn by him. He didn't remember it too much.
The man who took the diary in Yan Nuo's hand turned the page again, still with childish handwriting, and was opened chapter by chapter with the diary.
The past of Meige dusty in the depths of memory is gradually visible.
"When I was four or five years old, my grandfather took me to a place, and I slept very deeply that night, and when I woke up, I was already there, it seemed to be a race deep in some woods, and every door was engraved with blood lotus."
"It happened to be a sacrifice, and because I was frightened, I instinctively sealed this memory." Mei Ge's face began to be solemn.
The silver dagger cut through the flesh, and the man in the black cloak released the green snake, and the snake naturally crawled into the body of the person on the lotus platform with the blood, and the snake could almost be seen swimming in the body, and finally hovered in the abdomen, and the head was in the subcutaneous tissue on the chest, slowly frozen, and the scarlet snake eyes were never closed from beginning to end. The blood gradually filled the outline of the lotus flower, and it became a veritable blood lotus. The faces of the people around him were reverent, as if they were doing some kind of sacrifice. ”
"Old Chu's death is the same as his."
"You mean that Chu Lao also made that kind of sacrifice? So why? ”
"Why? Why? "I was too young at the time, because fear instinctively sealed everything in the dust," said a woman who was being held in a very sad way. ”
"Isn't it okay to just find her?" Yan Nuo's idea is right, as long as you find the woman back then, you can know what happened, and no matter how bad it is, you can know why you did such a sacrifice.
"I can't remember her appearance, I just remember thinking she was pitiful at the time."
The ancient race, the cruel sacrifices, made things even more confusing, Mei Ge pressed his temples tightly and tried to recall the woman's appearance, but the more he thought about it, the more headache he felt, and in the end, his whole face was tangled.
The memory seemed to have been deliberately erased, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of the memories he wanted, Yan Nuo looked at his painful memories but found nothing, and furrowed his brows.
"Are you hypnotized?"
Gurgle ~ Gurgle, a pair of leather shoes stepped on the old wooden stairs, approaching the two step by step, and also interrupted the conversation between the two people in a timely manner.
"Seventh Young Master, Young Master Yan." After greeting him respectfully, the old housekeeper with a pale face and neat clothes bowed to Mei Ge, "Seventh young master, the old lady is waiting for you in the study." ”
Mei Ge promised that the two of them would look at each other, and maybe they could ask the old lady directly.
Mrs. Rong's study is very large, with three bookcases full of books, and the carpet is engraved with retro patterns, and the materials are of the highest quality. The whole room was filled with a British atmosphere, and the old man in the English dress sat at his desk, banging on the floor for a while, although he could not hear the sound from the thick stall.
The door was pushed open, and the old butler stood at the door and bowed down to invite Mei Ge into the house.
"Grandpa."
"Hmph, you still know to come back?" After the old but not strong voice, the old man opened his eyes, sharp and shrewd. Scanning the dust on Meige's body, he squinted his eyes in displeasure.
"I really don't know when your cleanliness habit was good."
Mei Ge's face did not change, and he still looked as shallow as water, and he took off his coat quickly but elegantly, and the old butler stepped forward to take it at the right time.
"Grandpa, my grandson has something to ask you."
"If it's Chutian's business, it's best not to ask, even if I ask, I won't tell you." He knows a lot, but that doesn't mean he has to say it.
Although he could see that his grandfather was in a bad mood, Meige still asked, "Why?" Grandpa, after you took your grandson to the Immortal Clan, why did you find someone to hypnotize me? ”
Even though he was only four or five years old, Mei Ge was sure that he would not forget such a special thing for no reason, and even if he was afraid, he could not remember it completely. If he hadn't found his childhood diary, he wouldn't have believed that he had witnessed the whole process of the sacrifice.
Xiu stood up with wide eyes and an ugly face, "Are you questioning me?" ”
The Rong family's family education is extremely strict, and no matter how capable the younger generation is, they can't have any questions about the elders, or dissatisfaction and the like.
Under the strong pressure of the old man's majesty, Mei Ge's face still did not change, and the old man's reaction made him understand that he had indeed been drained of some memories, and asked again. "Grandpa, why?"
"What can you tell you? You can't change anything. Whether it was the blood sacrifice at the beginning, or Chu Tian's death. ”
"So you know why Old Chu went to sacrifice."
"I said, it's better not to ask." The tone of the key was raised, and the old man's face was already ugly, but Meige didn't seem to see it.
"Why don't you say it? You know that. ”
With a bang, the big palm slammed on the table, "What are you trying to do?" Have you stayed with the girl of the Chu family for a long time, and even forgot about the tutor of the Rong family? ”
Don't ask what your elders won't say. Of course, he remembers, just like his grandfather's strong personality, he remembers it very clearly.
"It has nothing to do with her."
"Huh." With a sneer, the old man suddenly paced in front of Mei Ge, even if he was an old man, he was only a little lower than Rong Zheng, and his strong aura seemed to be innate.
"It seems that you shouldn't be allowed to get close to the Chu family."
Mei Ge suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at the old man, "You sent someone to spy on me." ”
"What? Isn't it okay for a grandfather to care about his grandchildren? ”
Knowing that he couldn't ask anything, the man simply lowered his eyes again, cold as water, "My grandson still has something to do, I'll come back to see you another day." Although the words were respectful, no matter what the old man's reaction was, he turned around and left, which made the old lady Rong almost throw away the crutches in anger.
"Don't you want to know about Chu Tian?" As expected, Mei Ge stopped.
Hiding the turbulence in his eyes, Mei Ge turned around with a rare smile on the corner of his lips, but it was full of mockery, "What grandpa doesn't want to say, grandson can't ask the result, like," The tone was suddenly much softer, but the old lady with a cold face in it heard clearly, "Just like when you killed your son and daughter-in-law with your own hands, no matter what your grandson asks, you won't say the answer." Isn't it? ”
One sentence made the old man stand stunned on the spot, his chest rising and falling violently.
