CHAPTER XV

At the door, Li Ke squatted on the ground a little dejected, and said to Lu Xiaotian: "Why are you asking such a straightforward question, it's too strange for ordinary people." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Xiaotian didn't look at him, "If you want to ask, just ask." ”

Li Ke was speechless.

"Anyway, we know where Gao Junshan went, hey, you say, why did that old man suddenly get nervous and refuse to say anything." Lu Xiaotian turned around and went downstairs, Li Ke stood up, followed Lu Xiaotian, and asked as he walked.

"No one wants to talk about having anything to do with ghosts." Lu Xiaotian replied casually.

"However, listening to what he said, as well as Song Xuan's reaction, he has a good relationship with his sister."

"Other people's family affairs, who can say clearly, now that we know the whereabouts of Gaojun Mountain, we will go there, where are we going?"

"Small, Wang, Zhuang!" Li Ke was so angry that he lost his temper.

The two men returned to the car. After searching on the Internet, I opened the navigation and went straight to Xiaowangzhuang.

After driving for more than two hours, I arrived at the Xiaowangzhuang in Song Xuan's mouth, although they are all small two-storey, but it seems that the economy is not very bad, and there are many private cars.

When it arrived, but he didn't know where to start, Li Ke scratched his head a little irritably.

"Let's go." After the two got out of the car, Lu Xiaotian locked the car and left.

"Where are you going?" Li Ke hurriedly followed.

"When I was looking for someone, I went to the village government."

“…… Have you forgotten that we hacked the system to find household registration at the beginning? There is no such person at all! ”

"Song Xuan is still alive, which means that there must be people who survived that era."

Li Ke sat in front of the aunt of the neighborhood committee, and once again listened to Lu Xiaotian's serious nonsense.

"My grandfather's name is Gao Junshan, he is a native of Liang County, he brought troops to fight here, and then he disappeared, my grandmother is now dying, I hope I can find him in the end."

"When you were fighting, your grandmother had to be over a hundred years old, right? Then your grandfather is either not in this village, or he has died a long time ago, and there is only one old lady in this village who is a hundred years old. ”

"Yes, that's what I said, but the old man, the last breath is not, and we don't expect to find anyone, just have news. You should do good deeds and help. ”

"Oh, where is it so easy to do good deeds, then where can I find this for you." The aunt looked reluctant.

"Otherwise, you give me the addresses of the elderly over 80 years old and the families of the soldiers who participated in the Anti-Japanese War, and I will ask myself, can you see it?" Lu Xiaotian's tone was sincere, and Li Ke felt that he was about to be moved.

"Alas, okay, this matter, it's really not that Auntie doesn't want to help you, you see that Auntie is also busy here, there are many small things in the village, and trivial things always have to come here to solve them, who watered the ground and stepped on whose seedlings today......" Auntie generally chattered, while finding out the information that Lu Xiaotian wanted,

The two of them began to look for clues one by one, just like when they were in Liang County. It's just that it has changed from interviews to family searches.

", why don't you even have a street name in this village, how can you find this?" Lu Xiaotian sat in the car and poked his head into the street and found that not a single street name was hung.

"Normal, this kind of rural area, that's it, there is no official name, it's all familiar streets by the villagers themselves." Li Ke flipped through the information in his hand. There are fewer people to find than in their own county, "Let's go to this village nursing home first, there are two elderly people in it, and the nursing home is easy to find." ”

"Well, I'll get out of the car first and ask for directions." After Lu Xiaotian finished speaking, he parked the car on the side of the road and went down to ask for directions.

It is said to be a nursing home, but it is just a large two-story building, a bit similar to the Hope Primary School in the countryside, most of which are lonely and widowed elderly people without children.

"There are two people in this nursing home, one is the only centenarian, an old lady of one hundred and three years old, Qihua. It's a pretty nice name, and it's really poetic. Li Ke couldn't help but sigh at the name, "There is another one, Li Min'an, eighty-eight years old, who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan." "The information given by the aunt is very detailed, and those who have participated in the war and those who have made war exploits are all marked.

"Let's go see that Li Min'an first, after all, he participated in the Anti-Japanese War." Lu Xiaotian walked into the nursing home as he spoke.

Li Ke paused for a moment before he followed: "I want to go and see this old lady named Qihua." Lu Xiaotian glanced at him inexplicably, and habitually raised his eyebrows. I had a feeling that this old lady was the one we were looking for. Li Ke didn't know why, but he suddenly had such a feeling. His luck has not been very good since he was a child, such as drawing lots, he can always draw the worst lots, but sometimes some intuition is also inexplicable, but it is terrifying.

"It doesn't matter, I have to find them one by one anyway." Lu Xiaotian saw that Li Ke's expression was very resolute, which made him unconsciously compromise, you must know that Lu Xiaotian is a very assertive person, he generally follows his own ideas and rarely listens to other people's opinions.

They saw Qihua on the balcony of a room, sitting in a rocking chair, covered with a thin blanket, basking in the sun.

Full of white hair, emaciated but not thin, with a serene demeanor, his eyes far away, not knowing what he was looking at. Probably because of the deep impression that her name left on Li Ke before, Li Ke felt that when she was young, she must have been a beauty, and now, she is also a temperamental old lady.

The aunt who took care of the nursing home said hello to the old lady, helped them move two small stools, let them talk by themselves, and went out.

"Hello, old lady." Lu Xiaotian politely said hello.

The old lady nodded and answered softly, looking very conscious and in good health.

"We are here to find my grandfather, my grandfather's name is Gao Junshan, do you know?" Lu Xiaotian continued.

"......," the old lady's face changed, first surprised, then chuckled, "impossible. ”

Li Ke and Lu Xiaotian glanced at each other, the old lady's reply was inexplicable, but their intuition told them that this old lady really knew something.

"What are you looking for him?" The old lady asked, her tone calm.

"I, my grandmother is dying, and I want to see him. Or, know some news about him. Lu Xiaotian said.

"Grandma? Who is your grandmother? The old lady sat up straight, and her tone was a little more eager.

“…… Song Yan. ”

"Song Yan, she's still alive, how can it be, isn't she, dead?" The old lady was a little dazed and looked at the ground in a daze.

"Do you know something? Do you know my grandma and grandpa? Lu Xiaotian interrupted the old lady's thoughts.

“…… Well," the old lady looked at Lu Xiaotian and Li Ke fixedly, "it's her great-grandson...... Then you guys, surnamed Gao? ”

Li Kezheng didn't know what to say, so Lu Xiaotian received it casually: "Yes, my name is Gao Xiaotian, this is the son of my aunt's family, and my surname is Li Ke." Li Ke couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but complain in his heart that your father knew that he really didn't kill you?

“…… In this way, you look so handsome, your grandmother, when you were young, you were a big beauty. The old lady smiled, "Grandpa is also good-looking, very heroic." ”

"Who are you? Grandma's friend? Li Ke couldn't help but speak, after all, he didn't come to listen to family routines, and now he was very anxious when he finally got the news. Besides, it's not a real grandson, it's good-looking and ugly, and it's not a gene at all.

"I ...... I am Gao Junshan's fourth aunt ......" This answer shocked Lu Xiaotian and Li Ke.

"When my husband came to fight, I ...... At that time, he had just gotten married and had a good relationship, so he followed him out, but he was afraid that something would happen to me, so he left me in this village and led his troops to the hillside outside the village to fight the Japanese. The old lady slowly lay back in her rocking chair, deep in her memory. He was defeated, and the whole army, more than three hundred men, did not return. ”

"Later, the Japanese took over the place, and most of them fled for safety, and I tried to find him in the middle of the night, but there were too many dead people there...... I didn't find him, and the Japanese wantonly slaughtered civilians and humiliated women in the village. The people in the village took pity on me, a single woman, and dragged me to flee. ”

Lu Xiaotian and Li Ke didn't interject, just quietly waited for the old man to continue to speak.

"I spent more than ten years here and there, and he died here after all, and I wanted to stay here with him. I heard that someone else's army came here later and buried all the people who died in that battle under that hillside, although they were all heroes who died in battle, but they could no longer tell who was who. Although I didn't plan to go back, I later inquired that the Gao Mansion in Liang County had a fire on the night he left, and all the people in the mansion were burned to death...... Unexpectedly, the third wife was still alive, and she left him a son...... He would have been glad if he knew. "The story of the old lady is told in fits and starts.

"Gao Jun......" Li Ke couldn't help but speak, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, "Cough, grandpa, you have a good relationship with my grandma, right?" ”

“…… Well, that's good. ”

So why do I want to marry you? Li Ke finally kept this sentence in his heart and didn't say it.

The old lady didn't say anything more, just looked out the window fixedly.

Lu Xiaotian got up and said goodbye, and left with Li Ke, behind what they didn't see, the old lady was silently shedding tears.
