Lotte, Ding Lingling, and Zhang Hui opened their eyes wide and stared straight at Mrs. Guo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The old man let out a long sigh.

"Before I retired, I worked in the neighborhood committee, responsible for delivering warmth and taking care of poor households, and over the decades, I developed a habit of being nosy. At the beginning, when Le Chao took Lotte to live in this community, I thought that such a difficult family should need my help, so I ran to Lotte's house every day, and after a long time, I found that Lotte's adoptive father did not need to be taken care of at all, and was completely able to take care of himself, even better than many normal people, the home was neat, the ground was clean, not to mention, the mind was particularly sunny, there were many places to be, knowledgeable, and slowly the more we chatted, the more speculative we became, and later, we became the most talkative New Year's friends. ”

The old lady looked at the three of them, her eyes moistened for some reason, and she seemed to be immersed in a memory of the past.

"I remember, it was two years ago, I brought a bag of new tea from my daughter and son-in-law, went to Lotte's house, and was going to find Le Chaoyi for tea, and I don't know why, that day, your father didn't speak for a day, and sat there with a sad face. I was surprised at the time, and asked him what was wrong, and he was sullen. ”

Lotte lowered his head and flipped through the memory in his mind, as if two years ago, his father was indeed not very happy for a while, and asked him why he was unhappy, but he refused to say why.

"That day, he never said, lowered his head and drank tea cup after cup, I think you don't say, then I'll come tomorrow, come every day and ask every day, and then I can't stand Lotte's father can't stand my stubborn temper, one day, he took out a piece of yellow paper to show me, on which some mysterious charms are drawn, looking like a stick, there are four sentences on it, it seems to be: wait for idle horses to come with whips, want to clear the clouds and break the laurel branches, suddenly like a night of east wind, the mountain city is broken and the waves are monstrous."

Ding Lingling and Zhang Hui seemed to have dropped a few degrees in the room, and on a hot day, there was a feeling of coldness on their backs.

Mrs. Guo glanced at the two girls, her expression unusually serious.

"After reading that piece of paper, I was just as panicked as you did. I scolded Lotte's adoptive father loudly, saying that he engaged in feudal superstition, and Lotte's father did not explain, silently took out three copper coins, and gave me a divination in front of me. He was very serious when he spoke, and I didn't know why I didn't refute him on the spot, and I returned home suspicious. ”

Lotte frowned deeply, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Guo was a neighbor she was very familiar with, she had been familiar with it since she was a child, and she almost suspected that this old lady was pretending to be a ghost.

When the adoptive father will use copper money for divination, why don't you know!

"The next day, I waited at home, didn't go out anywhere, until the afternoon, nothing happened, I thought about the bad luck of looking for Lotte's father in the past, ready to scold him for a dog blood spray, at that time, suddenly someone 'oh' knocked on the door, I opened the door to see, I was happy, knocked on the door turned out to be my brother who had been separated for more than 30 years, in the most **** decade after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my father and my brother were arrested by the Red Guards, and they were tortured in the streets every day. One night, my brother disappeared, and our whole family thought that my brother had been killed by them, and my mother was so sad that she didn't want to hang herself. However, the Red Guards suspected that it was my father who helped my brother escape from prison and let him go, and then intensified the criticism and torture of him, and a month later, my father died inside. ”

When the old lady said this, she was emotional, and her voice trembled slightly.

"I always thought that my family was dead, every New Year's holiday, I also sacrificed, remember them, I didn't expect more than 30 years later, my brother actually appeared alive again in front of me, that night we talked all night, it turned out that my brother smuggled abroad, many years later, knowing that his parents died because of his own involvement, I blamed myself, and I was afraid that I resented him, so I didn't dare to come back to me, and then I had a terminal illness, the doctor told him that he had been back for more than a few days, In the end, he decided to spend his last days coming to see his sister, and the most my brother said that day was that he regretted that he should not have been a runaway. ”

As she spoke, the old lady's expression began to become sad, and two lines of tears hung down.

Lotte, Ding Lingling, and Zhang Hui also guessed the result, and their hearts were full of sympathy and regret.

The old lady took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and then continued: "After my brother's funeral, I went to look for Lotte's adoptive father, and it wasn't until that day that Lotte's adoptive father explained the whole thing to me. He said that if he didn't stop it, the entire mountain city would be swallowed by a huge wave in 2001, and the millions of people would be overturned one night. ”

Zhang Hui frowned, turned her head to look at Lotte, looked confused, and asked, "Lotte, when will your adoptive father do divination?" ”

Lotte smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know, and I've never seen him show it at home." ”

Ding Lingling looked at Lotte, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Grandma Guo, the mountain city is far away from the ocean and belongs to the terrain of the inland basin, how can something unbelievable happen like a giant wave swallowing whales?" Is it possible that Lotte's adoptive father is lying to you! ”

Mrs. Guo was noncommittal, just smiled slightly, and laughed at herself: "During that time, I almost didn't put him at home as a living Buddha to worship, I believed everything he said, and I did whatever he asked me to do, and later, I used some connections to sign Qingyunfeng." ”

Ding Lingling and Zhang Hui were shocked, it turned out that this contract came from like this.

Lotte smashed his mouth a few times, full of questions, and asked, "Grandma Guo, is that contract really signed by my father?" Are you responsible for contacting? ”

The old lady patted her thigh gently, a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes, and she said happily: "Actually, the real owner of this contract is you, Lotte." ”

Lotte's eyes widened, with a bewildered expression, Ding Lingling asked on her behalf, "Grandma Guo, what is the reason for this?" ”

Mrs. Guo's face became a little more solemn, glanced at Lotte, and said with a little regret: "At that time, when I saw that Lotte's adoptive father did not sign his name, I asked him why?" He didn't think about it and said, because I still have a year and a half to live. ”

The two girls exclaimed in unison and let out an ahhh

The old lady sighed, slowly got up, went back to her bedroom, took out a file bag, and handed it to Lotte.

Lotte glanced at it, her heart ached, Ding Lingling obediently took the bag from Lotte's hand and looked at it.

"Grandma Guo, how could Uncle Le keep such an important contract with you?"

Mrs. Guo threw Ding Lingling a mysterious smile and said calmly: "Le Chaoyi said that Lotte will have a prison sentence, this contract can't be put at home, it's useless to hide the best, it's safe to put it at home, you can't throw it there casually." ”

Ding Lingling was startled, and the material in her hand fell to the ground with a click.

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "Don't say it, after the contract is signed, I will casually stuff this contract on the shelf, if it wasn't for yesterday's play, I really forgot." After I came back yesterday, I carefully flipped through the contract and threw in more than 50 million, not to make money, but to protect Qingyun Peak, old lady, I have lived for so many years, what kind of person has not been seen, and it is really the first time I have seen someone like Lotte's adoptive father. ”

Lotte smiled, his face sour, and the scenes of the past came to mind again.

Zhang Hui smiled and asked, "Grandma Guo, isn't it the money you pulled the string?" How could you not know the specifics of this contract? ”

Mrs. Guo turned around, stared at Zhang Hui and said seriously: "I haven't seen it before yesterday." ”

Leaving Zhang Hui embarrassed to capitalize there.
