Chapter 69: Telling
"Smoking is not allowed in forest areas......"
A familiar voice came from a distance, and when I heard it, my body trembled, and I quickly turned around.
I saw my grandfather pacing slowly, wearing the work clothes of the forest area, his figure was rickety, and he looked much older than the last time we met......
Although I know that grandpa is very old. The old man of this age is getting old every day, and the speed is very fast, but when I see my grandfather's rickety back and full of gorgeous hair, I still feel a little bitter in my heart.
"Grandpa......" I whispered, taking a few steps forward, not only did I be surprised by my grandfather's appearance, but I also knew that the way I was now also made it difficult for grandpa to accept.
But it seems that I still underestimated my grandfather, for an old man who is accustomed to seeing the mundane world and looks down on the vicissitudes of life, my death does not seem too difficult to accept, and the crazy Taoist predecessors have also said before, my grandfather seems to have expected all this to happen.
Grandpa came over to me, ignoring the old cat lighting a second cigarette in the middle of the woods. Looking at me, my grandfather's eyes were slightly red, but no tears flowed: "Good boy, suffer." ”
I smiled, barely allowing myself to cry, maybe because I had shed too many tears when I met the old cat just now, so now my mood is stable, I shook my head and said, "It's not bitter, grandpa." Not bitter. ”
Grandpa sighed, glanced at Xiao Feng, and asked, "This girl...... It's the little Kaede who has been protecting you, right? ”
Xiao Feng hurriedly nodded and stepped forward, lowering his eyebrows: "Grandpa." ”
Grandpa looked at Xiao Feng with a smile: "Okay, thank you, girl......"
Xiao Feng's face was slightly red, and he didn't dare to speak.
Grandpa grabbed my hand, looked at the rising sun in the east, and said, "Let's go, it's still a little bright, let's talk." ”
I looked back at the old cats, and then walked off with my grandfather.
It was quite chilly in the mountains in the early hours of the morning. The whole mountain was filled with a cold mist, and I watched my grandfather's steps not be as brisk as before. Hurriedly asked, "Grandpa." Will you be able to stand it up to the dawn in the morning? ”
Grandpa smiled: "Don't worry, I've lived on this mountain all my life, and it can't hurt me." ”
As we spoke, we walked to the end of another road in the distance.
Not far away is the famous Baihe Reservoir, the morning fog is filled, there is a different taste, grandpa looked at me, said: "Child, do you blame grandpa?" ”
"Blame you? Why should I blame you? I asked, surprised.
Grandpa sighed: "These experiences of yours now are actually related to me, I didn't figure out some things before, but this time the catastrophe made me figure out a lot of things...... Including you, including ...... Dick. ”
"Second child" refers to my second uncle, that is, the "Second Master Lin" mentioned by Mr. Jiang before, Lin Mufeng. Grandpa's sudden words made me a little confused.
"Grandpa, how did you figure it out? Could it be that you have opened your eyes again? I asked in surprise, and even began to wonder if my grandfather's current physical condition was related to the opening of the heavenly eyes.
Grandpa hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my current physical state will not do such rash things anymore, it's just that I have escaped in this life, and there are many things that I still haven't been able to dodge......"
I know that grandpa will not understand a lot of words to tell me, because in this way, it will be equivalent to leaking the heavenly secrets, and the meaning of grandpa's words can only be understood by myself, so every time grandpa says a word, I carefully remember a word.
"The Tribulation has begun, and all of you are part of it...... You, the kitten, the madman, and Huang Tingxuan, and even Xiao Feng next to you, you are all part of the Heavenly Tribulation, and the Heavenly Tribulation is generated because of you, and it will end because of you...... Remember, while it will be the same person I have seen who will end the Tribulation, it will not be over without you. ”
I nodded hurriedly, not quite understanding, but I knew the meaning roughly.
"The current Sijiu City has been turned upside down, and a new order and era will come...... Yang Yang, you have become a ...... now Another kind of existence doesn't mean loss, you know? Grandpa whispered, and I listened quietly.
"Grandpa, I know, I know that although I died once, maybe this is the arrangement of fate." Looking at my now ethereal body, I said with a wry smile.
Grandpa nodded and said: "Yes, there is a providence in the dark, I have pondered the way of heaven all my life, I thought I had found all the laws in it, but I found that in the end I was still just a first glimpse of the door...... I've seen a lot of things, but not all of them, so there's a lot of things that you need to grasp for yourselves. As he spoke, my grandfather patted me lightly on the shoulder: "This new era needs you to create and improve...... Whether the outcome of this change is good or bad depends on you in the midst of the change. ”
"I remember, Grandpa." I nodded hurriedly.
"Good...... It's good for you to remember......" Grandpa stood on the mountain road with his hands behind his back, looked at the rippling reservoir in the distance, and said: "Let's go, let's go home, it's about to dawn, you and Xiaofeng may need to hide in the house, it just so happens that you and the kitten haven't seen each other for a long time, you can chat together." ”
"Okay." I hurriedly said and followed my grandfather towards the place where the old cat was.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered two things, so I asked, "Grandpa, the ghosts in the dungeon came here to find an old gentleman in a black robe, ...... is he?" ”
"I'm wondering who he is, but it's still undecided. He came here with Xu Changge that day, but he never met us, this person is very unusual. Grandpa whispered.
"Oh...... All right. I nodded: "Then there is another question, second uncle ......" I know that the second uncle has always been a taboo in grandpa, but just now grandpa actually mentioned him in passing, so I hurriedly asked while the iron was hot.
Sure enough, this time when the grandfather heard the words of the second uncle, he was not angry, nor did he bow his head and say nothing, but his eyes were blurred, he looked into the distance, sighed softly, and said: "Child, if I tell you, for so many years, I may not know your second uncle, I don't know my son, do you believe it?" ”
"How so?" I looked at my grandfather in amazement and asked, "How could you not know him?" ”
Grandpa smiled bitterly: "In vain, I still claim to be able to peep through the heavens and comprehend the way of heaven...... I've always been a frog at the bottom of a well...... Your second uncle...... Your second uncle......"
After saying the words "your second uncle", the grandfather didn't say anything more, his face became a little pale, and his body trembled slightly.
I knew that my grandfather must have some kind of unsolvable knot in his heart, and he didn't mean to tell me, so I followed quietly, without saying a word, until I joined the old cat.
Grandpa, the madman, the old cat, me and Xiao Feng, the three of us and two ghosts, walked towards the small village of grandpa's house, before dawn, we finally arrived, as soon as we entered the house, we heard Zhang Duo's voice coming out, she seemed to be arguing with Xu Changge about something.
"My master's life and death are uncertain now, why don't you go and see him?" Zhang Duo's voice is very crisp, like a mountain spring, like a wind chime.
After that, there was a sigh, and I smelled a strong smell of smoke, which seemed to be Xu Changge smoking. Brother Azabian.
"Are you talking...... Uncle Xu, please, can't you? Zhang Duo's voice shouted again, as if he was in a little anxious.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that if I rush into the city now, then not only will I not be able to save your master, but we will also be in danger." This is Xu Changge's voice: "You wait for me to contact again, there will always be a good way." ”
"But...... It's been almost two weeks! Zhang Duo was obviously a little impatient.
As soon as the old cat heard the content of the conversation between the two people, he frowned, coughed, and said, "Lao Xu, Duoduo, Lin Yang is back." ”
"Old Xu?" I was surprised and asked in a low voice, "When did you change your name to Xu Changge Lao Xu?" ”
The old cat smiled and lowered his voice: "It's a little kinder, what do you think?" ”
