Chapter 1 Separation

Next Chapter

Thirty years ago, at the corner of the tributary of the Yellow River, next to the mountain, standing on the hill and looking down, a small mountain village stood there, here is Mengjiazhai, but today's Mengjiazhai is not as calm as in the past, especially in the center of Mengjiazhai a dilapidated old house is particularly busy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, an old woman hurriedly walked out of the dilapidated old house, although the old woman was nearly seventy years old, but from her rather vigorous steps, it could be seen that her body was quite strong, not comparable to ordinary old people.

The old woman's face was full of sorrow, and she looked particularly anxious, and her mouth kept muttering something.

The old woman hadn't walked a few steps, and suddenly a middle-aged man of yours not far away kept waving to the old woman, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Auntie, I just heard Niu Dan say that the third child of your family is back, and now he is in the mouth of the village, don't worry." ”

Hearing this, the old woman's face softened significantly, and she answered the man, and then looked at the mouth of the stockade.

After a while, a young figure in his twenties appeared from the mouth of the village, and quickly ran towards the old woman, and when she saw the person, the old woman was obviously relieved, and kept waving at the man.

"Auntie, how is my father now" The young man ran all the way to the old woman's side, and he was also sweating profusely at this time, but at this time he couldn't care so much, as soon as he came to the old woman's side, he gasped for breath and said breathlessly.

When the old woman heard this, tears could not stop falling from the corners of her eyes, and she did not say anything to the young man, but hurried to let him go home quickly.

In the old house in Mengjiazhai, the young man just came to the courtyard, and he didn't know if it was affected by the surrounding atmosphere or because of something else, the young man's face suddenly became tight, and his footsteps didn't seem to listen to him, so he stood there in a daze, looking very overwhelmed.

"Third child, why are you staying here, why don't you hurry up and go in"

Hearing this, the young man also woke up from his stunned state, looked at the voice, and before the young man could speak, the man had already walked quickly into the old room, and the young man did not dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly followed.

When I came to the main house of the old house, I was greeted by some relatives who had no relatives, who surrounded their father who was lying on the bed, and at the same time there were tears in the corners of their eyes that I don't know if it was because of sadness or something else.

Before the young man could speak, the old man who was lying on the bed and was dying seemed to see his own sustenance in the future, and suddenly became energetic, and said with a diagonal wave of his arm: "The second son, the third son stays, and everyone else will go out for me."

The people in the main house, seeing that the old man suddenly became energetic, and he could speak, was obviously stunned, and muttered inexplicably in his heart, they really had only one breath left just now, and they could ....... at any time, but what now?

The old man's words had been wandering around the room for a while, but the people in the main room didn't seem to want to move.

Seeing this scene, the old man was also angry, and even slapped one hand on the bed account, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is not dead, do you still want to rebel or what do you want, I know what you think, give me out, Lao Tzu is in a hurry, none of you want those things"

The people in the house didn't know if it was because of the old man's deterrent power, or because they had settled down on what they wanted in their hearts, and they finally walked outside the house.

There was finally no noise in the house, the old man who was lying on the bed and dying, actually supported his upper body alone, and the two people in the room just wanted to go to help, but the old man waved his hand to stop, the old man slowly leaned his upper body on the head of the bed, and asked at the same time: "Where did the kid go, doesn't he know that his old man is dying"

"Big brother, he should be back soon, when I went back to the village, I heard the people in the village say, someone has seen the big brother, now it should be outside the house," the man who had just spoken to the third child outside the room said.

Hearing this, the old man fell into silence, as if he was no longer angry, just after the second child's words were finished, there was a noise outside the house, and then the door of the house was pushed open suddenly, and the person who came in was obviously running all the way, his face was covered with beads of sweat, and even his hair was stuck together at this time.

"Dad, ...... you" The man who came in saw the old man half-lying on the bed, and the corners of his mouth began to fight constantly.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet, the people outside are out" Seeing that his three sons had returned, the old man regained his spirits again.

......Seeing that the old man was fine, the boss was also relieved, and stood there and responded: "When I first came back, they all went out, and no one should be outside."

The old man still didn't seem to be at ease, so he glanced at the three brothers, and the three brothers understood, walked out of the house, looked outside, and after making sure that there was no one, they also hurried back to the house.

......

"Well, all three of you are back, and it's time for me to say my last words," said the old man with a smile.

"Dad, don't say this, you're ........"

Before the boss finished speaking, the old man interrupted disdainfully: "These, don't tell you in front of Lao Tzu, you Lao Tzu has never seen anything, everyone will die, do you think your Lao Tzu will be afraid of this." ”

As soon as the words were finished, the old man seemed to think of something and beckoned to the third child, the third child knew that his father was not biting his ear with him, this was his father was going to smoke dry tobacco again, although his father was now like this, but otherwise he smoked, I am afraid he would blow his beard again.

The third child also hurriedly walked over and waited for the old man to put away the dry tobacco.

"Whe......w, I still can't forget this" The old man said while smoking a dry cigarette, let's click, let's take two puffs, the old man's face became serious, and he said to the three of them, "What I say next, you just do it, don't interject, I'm afraid my time is coming soon."

The old man didn't care what the reaction of the three of them was, and said to himself, "After I die, I don't have to go into the ground according to our custom here, just burn this skin of mine, burn the rest of the things, and bury them in the east side of the tree in the backyard, and you three will remember this for me." ”

When the old man said this, he seemed to be a little tired, and he took two breaths and continued: "Within ten years after my death, the three of you, no matter who you are, will not enter Beijing, and after ten years, you will be casual, and now the three of you have no children, and I can't control this now, but in the future, no matter which of the three of you has children, my grandson must live in this old house until he is twenty years old, by the way, and this old house, you are only allowed to reinforce, but not to touch a single grass or tree here, you remember." The old man's last sentence was particularly solemn.

The three of them didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly nodded in response.

Seeing the three nodding, the old man also breathed a sigh of relief, and there was no sound for a long time.

When the three of them saw that their father had no voice, they all became anxious, and just as they wanted to make a move, the old man's words rang again.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished explaining my business, and I can't die yet, boy, you go and remove the offering Buddha by the wall, and the secret compartment below is what I left for the three of you."

When the eldest heard his father's words, he walked to the Buddha on the side of the wall, and slowly moved the Buddha away, and it turned out that there were three hidden compartments under the Buddha, and the names of the three of them were engraved on them.

"The things in this, don't take them now, after finishing my funeral, you can come and get it again, by the way, after a while, when you go out, go to the Westinghouse and take out the box under the bed in the Westinghouse, don't take the things in it, don't give it to those people outside, remember, the three of you are brothers by blood, you are not allowed to ....... at any time, forget these words, it's useless, okay, you go, the third son stays."

The three of them exchanged glances with each other, although the eldest and the second were helpless, but they also left, they knew in their hearts that their father, who usually cared for their third brother, could only blame themselves for not being the youngest.

After the two left, the third child came to the old man's bedside, and although he was very sad in his heart, he still insisted on not leaving tears.

"Third child, I didn't leave you to give you anything, I just wanted to know ......"

"Dad, don't worry, I won't say anything about that matter, I know that is your greatest wish, don't worry" The third child said firmly.

"Okay, good, good, in this case, I don't have any regrets, the third child, your life has not been good since you were a child, and Dad can't help it, it's Dad who can't live with you, that's all Dad can do for you, don't blame me, I ......" The old man's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he completely lost his voice.

"Dad......., eldest brother, second brother, come on, Dad, he ......." This was the last voice of the third child, and then the third child's voice was only choked.

The door of the "bang" house was pushed open suddenly, and the two people who rushed in saw the situation in the house, and they instantly became overwhelmed and froze in place.

"Daddy......"

......

A week later, the night before the three brothers made an appointment to get what their father left for them, a figure appeared outside the old house, and before he could see who the person was, the figure of the man quickly flashed into the old house, and the man came, and the old man's original house slowly moved away from the wall of the offering to the Buddha, and opened the secret compartment hidden under the offering to the Buddha.

The man took out all the things hidden under the dark grid, looked at them one by one, hesitated again and again, and then put back the things hidden in the second hidden compartment as they were, and then swapped the things that were originally hidden in the dark compartment of the eldest and the third child.

After all this, the man probably had a weak heart as a thief, and wasted a long time reorganizing the whole house, and after making sure that there were no flaws, he hurriedly left the old house......
