"Is Zhao crazy?" I said, "Of course I do." ”

There is no one in Xiaopanhe Village who doesn't know that Zhao is crazy, when everyone in the village is filling in the river, and the seventh grandmother escaped back alone, she told me about her grandfather's affairs back then, and specifically mentioned the madman. She said that the madman was crazy because his mouth was too broken and he said something that he shouldn't have said, and then he went crazy, and then there was a fire in the house.

"The sixth is really scheming." The seventh grandmother seemed to be smiling, and said: "Crazy Zhao was crazy back then, a fire in the house burned down, his son was burned with only half a life, and when he was rescued, he didn't look like a man, you probably haven't seen him, he was quietly taken outside by the sixth child when he was very young." ”

"Seventh grandmother, do you have anything to do with my father?" I felt that it was getting farther and farther, whether Madman Zhao had a son or not, I really don't know, at that time, the people in the village filled the river, except for the Jinbao family and the seventh grandmother, no one was spared, and Madman Zhao also entered the river.

"There are some things that I didn't say before, because I thought you didn't understand, and besides, when you told the truth, you didn't necessarily believe it. Water baby, the strange things in this world can't be said. The seventh grandmother said: "Your father's matter, the sixth child didn't say it directly, he was that person, when he hid something in his heart, no one could ask, but I guessed before and after, nine times out of ten, your father is the son of Zhao Lao's madman." ”

"What kind of mess is this!" I was dazed, and I didn't understand what Grandma Seven was trying to say. However, some of the tone in which Grandma Seven spoke was different from the past. In the past, when she mentioned her grandfather, she always called Chen Liuye Chen Liuye, but now, when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, she is the sixth and the sixth, as if she is very familiar.

"Listen to me slowly, you'll understand."

Back then, the red lady who was taught by her father in Hewan calculated, it was an ironclad thing, and there was no falsehood. In the whole Xiaopanhe Village, Grandma Seven was the closest to our family, and when Dad's body was fished up, Grandpa's face turned blue, and without saying a word, he hurriedly took Dad home. We have an old custom here, the people in the family die outside, and they are generally not allowed to enter the house after they die, so they are desperately rushing to the house before the deceased is out of breath, but the grandfather has no taboos, and takes the father back home directly.

"You're a river gentleman, I don't know if I've heard the sixth child say it." Grandma Seven's expression also became very heavy, and she said, "The women of the Hezizi family are all miserable. ”

"Seventh Grandma, you" My heart trembled, if it was put in the past when I didn't know anything, I might not be able to fully understand this sentence. But at this moment, I suddenly felt like I felt something, only bitter and astringent.

"Your father's life was bought by your mother." Grandma Seven nodded slowly: "You guessed right. ”

I feel my head boom around, I haven't seen my father, occasionally mention the past, grandpa always sad and sadly said, my father was young, but he was very sensible, knew how to endure hardships, knew how to honor the elderly, but he never mentioned my mother, as if there had never been such a person in the world.

The life continuation diagram of the river is not to be used if you want to, and the first premise is that it cannot harm the innocent. Our family is already small, my father is dead, who else can I exchange my mother's life for him?

"Your mother is an ordinary countryman's daughter, her appearance is average, but her heart is very kind, and she can't talk much." The seventh grandmother sighed heavily: "However, that's also a helpless thing!" ”

Dad's life was exchanged by his mother, and his parents can't have both, they can only survive one.

At that time, the old madman Zhao had been crazy for more than 20 years, and his son who was rescued from the fire had already been secretly sent outside by his grandfather, and the people in the village thought that the old madman's son was dead.

At that time, my father used my mother's life to survive, but my grandfather didn't allow him to show up, so he still found a white affairs team and bought a coffin or something. At first, Grandma Seven thought that she was going to hold a funeral for my mother, but no, that funeral was prepared for my father.

"Didn't my dad come back to life? Why do you have a funeral? ”

The seventh grandmother asked the grandfather, but the grandfather did not say, the funeral went on as usual, and the father was placed in the coffin and then buried. From that moment on, everyone up and down the Xiaopan River knew that Chen Liujin's son, Chen Yinglong, was dead.

But after my father was buried, my grandfather dug up the grave that night, and my father was in a very strange state at the time, and the seventh grandmother couldn't say clearly, maybe she didn't breathe, but she didn't open her eyes. Grandpa took his father for twenty or thirty miles overnight, and twenty or thirty miles away, there was a wild melon field, and next to the melon field was a simple little shack, and in that shack, the seventh grandmother saw the son of an old madman who was rumored to be burned to death.

"The burn was terrible, unrecognizable, and it looked terrifying." The seventh grandmother said: "I felt that I couldn't figure it out, I couldn't figure out what the sixth child was going to do, and he refused to say." ”

After that, the seventh grandmother didn't know, and the grandfather didn't let her enter the shack. waited until dawn when the grandfather came out of the shack with his father again, and the seventh grandmother found that his father at that time was really out of gas.

"I was shocked, your father's life, but your mother changed it back, but after a night of hard work, I ran out of gas again." The seventh grandmother said: "Thinking about it afterwards, what kind of person is the sixth child, who could do such a boring thing? ”

This time, my father was really dead, and when the sky was bright, my grandfather took my father back to the cemetery and buried him, and soon after, my mother's grave was also moved to the old grave, which was a husband and wife tomb buried together. The seventh grandmother was puzzled, and she pondered for a long time, she watched her father die, but she believed that this was all deliberately arranged by her grandfather.

"At first, I couldn't figure out what the sixth man meant, but gradually, his intentions were understood." Seventh Grandma said: "He just wants everyone to know that Chen Yinglong is no longer there, even if he is familiar with Chen Yinglong, he will never see Chen Yinglong anywhere again." ”

It suddenly dawned on me that my grandfather's actions seemed complicated, but the intention was actually really simple. He wants to make things iron and let his father completely "die". Chen Yinglong is still there, always has been, but in another way that others didn't expect. It was at this time that I understood that the scars on the ugly man were not caused by the risk of diving into the fire of the Zhou family to save people, and he had been burned to the ground since he was very young.

Doing this, to my father, for me, may not be fair, my father can't see people in the past, and I have lost my father's love since I was a child, but in this way, Chen Yinglong is equivalent to being invisibly protected, no one knows that he is still alive, he can do a lot of things secretly.

I felt a little overwhelmed, turned my face to look at Maitreya, in fact, Maitreya and Gou Banxian did not lie, I don't know the situation, indiscriminately lost my temper with Maitreya, now that things are clear, I feel sorry for him. I patted Maitreya and he smiled reluctantly and said nothing.

"Here's the thing, your father is still alive, and in the coffin, what is buried is just a useless flesh shell." The seventh grandmother said: "But the sixth child is still very annoyed, the person who paijiao even dares to move his son, and in a hurry, the sixth child is eyeing the paijiao." ”

"I know about this, Seventh Grandma, my father almost killed Pai Jiao at that time, but when he got to the big red lady of Pai Jiao, why did he suddenly give up?"

"I really don't know about this, the sixth person, his mind is a bit complicated, what he thinks, it is completely up to others to guess." The seventh grandmother took a sip of water and said: "There are really several powerful characters in the Seven Gates, and not only can outsiders guess what they do, but even the people inside the Seven Gates, sometimes they are confused. ”

"How?"

"Let's say, Pang Gouzi." The seventh grandmother said: "This person, you should know. ”

"I know." I nodded, and when I mentioned Pang Gouzi, I immediately remembered the poor old ghost, who was his only son, but he was besieged and checked, Song Baiyi and his grandfather were both present at the time, but they refused to reach out to save him, which made the old ghost sad and angry, and also made him sad for his brother.

"Pang Gouzi's matter is the same as the ordinary fighting and revenge on the rivers and lakes."

Pang Gouzi's temper is very similar to the old ghost, strong, and he can't hold sand in his eyes, when he was an adult, his grandfather went away with no whereabouts, and his father and old ghost were in Zhenhe, so he was helpless, and he carried everything by himself. At that time, the activities of those people in the Seven Gates and the Thirty-six Side Gates and even the Sacred Domain were basically transferred underground, and there were contradictions with each other, and they were all forcibly suppressed, but there were more and more contradictions, and in the end, when they couldn't suppress it, they would completely erupt. Pang Gouzi was besieged by dozens of people, and there was no way to escape, and he was blocked at the foot of the cliff where the corpses were dried on the river beach. Song Baiyi passed by unintentionally, and declared at the time that this matter had nothing to do with him and would not care, and his grandfather was hiding in secret, from Pang Gouzi being forced to die in a bloody battle, he did not show up from beginning to end.

"At that time, Pang Gouzi was the long gate of the seven gates, he let people surround him, and even his father's brothers ignored him, and it seemed to outsiders that the seven gates of the river were really scattered into sand, and if the long gate was killed, it would inevitably collapse, and no one would have to do it again, and he would collapse himself in one or two decades." Seventh Grandma said: "So, as soon as Pang Gouzi died, there was a lot less conflict between the Seventh Gate and the Thirty-Sixth Gate." ”

That's right, the seven gates and the thirty-six gates have been killed back and forth for many years, the public feud is gone, but the personal feud has formed a lot, that is, since the death of Pang Gouzi, the seven gates have not become a climate, and the attack and killing have stopped for many years, until this year the ground was put in the ground, and it began to reappear.

"Shui Wazi, actually, Song Baiyi didn't want to care about it back then, although he was not very kind, but when he encountered this kind of thing, he would come out and say something, but someone strictly ordered him not to take care of it." The seventh grandmother shook her head and said: "As soon as later people talk about this, they will say how Song Baiyi is, he doesn't pay attention to righteousness, this matter, Song Baiyi is indeed a black pot that has been carried for many years." ”

"Someone won't let him take care of it? Who is it? I opened my mouth and almost asked Grandma Seven directly if Grandpa didn't allow him to take care of it. 、

"In the final analysis, I'm just an outsider, and only the people of the Seven Gates can say it clearly." The seventh grandmother suddenly turned her face to look at Maitreya who was speechless, and said to me, "You can ask him." ”
