When I returned to the shop in a daze, it was already three or four o'clock in the morning, and although my grandfather had a gloomy face from beginning to end, he still habitually smoked a few puffs of cigarette as usual, and then turned off the light and went to sleep.

However, I didn't have the state of mind of my grandfather, and I couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed over and over, thinking about what I heard tonight and half of my face that made me unable to sleep normally.

Since I couldn't sleep peacefully, I simply turned over and took out the notebook in the drawer to record everything I encountered and heard tonight, and then sorted them out one by one, plus some information I learned from my grandfather over the years, trying to restore a shocking secret that had been hidden for more than 20 years.

First of all, grandpa is a Baidu person known as a light in the sky, and the life and death experienced in his wonderful career are naturally unimaginable to me as a stunned young man in his twenties, and I don't want to know about this, the only thing I just want to know is how grandpa's leg is lame? What incredible danger is encountered?

According to tonight's conversation, Grandpa's leg must be related to an expedition to find treasures, and the process must be full of weirdness and danger, and that final destination must be some incredible treasure, even a divine object beyond the scope of human cognition.

Of the more than a dozen people who went to the group that year, only three survived in the end, and it seems that each of them paid a heavy price.

Lame? Blind? And what did one else lose? The mysterious journey that has been explored once, why does the blind old man go again after twenty years? Isn't it that the thing has not been taken out and is still there?

…………

…………

Thinking about it, before I knew it, the sky was bright, and the rooster crowed slowly, completely storing and preserving the incomprehensible thoughts in my head, waiting for the moment when they were opened one by one.

Because I didn't sleep all night, my brain was over-requisitioned for a long time, and the high-load operation was high, and my brain was groggy at this time, and I couldn't care if it was day or night, so I fell asleep in a daze.

This sleep is a whole day, I slept very heavy thunder can not move, surprisingly today grandpa did not wake me up, but went to the shop alone, maybe he also came to call me, saw that I slept to death did not call again.

After grandpa came back in the evening, I prepared the meal early, the reason why I was so diligent was that I hoped to make grandpa feel a little more relieved, and not be unhappy about last night's events, but grandpa still had a gloomy face during the whole process from eating to sleeping, and there were a lot fewer words than usual.

Whenever I get into the night, I naturally can't sleep, tossing and turning in bed, maybe what happened that night has a great impact on me, right?

As the days passed, Grandpa began to gradually come out of the previous incident, and the old man never appeared again, and his eerie face gradually faded out of my mind as time went by.

Originally, I thought that the rest of my days would be when I continued to eat, sleep, and eat like this, and lived a dull and muddy life. In the early morning of one day, when the sun had just risen, the quaintness of the countryside was full of life, and the arrival of a middle-aged man dressed like a master completely broke the trajectory of my life.

I remember that early that morning, I had an early meal, and I hurried to my grandfather's papermaker's shop. The reason why I'm so anxious is because I don't know what's going on lately? There were deaths in several nearby villages, so business was naturally much better than usual, and my grandfather got up earlier than I did, and went almost at dawn.

I hurried and finally arrived at the shop before six o'clock, which was a death order given to me by my grandfather. As for why so early? I also asked curiously, he said that now I am more tired and hard, so I can earn more money to find me a big white ass daughter-in-law, as for why I have to find a big white ass daughter-in-law, I said that I can have a baby.

Because I was in too much of a hurry, there happened to be a person who wanted to enter the shop, and I collided with him unexpectedly. I was taller, my nose hit the other man's forehead, my eyes were sour, and the rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose fell to the ground because of the impact.

"Oops... It's been a ghost this morning, and I saw that I had knocked off the glasses I had bought several times," the man said with a curse in his mouth, picked up the glasses on the ground, and wiped them a few times to see that there was no dust, and then put them on, and only then did he look at me.

He saw that my young face was in his twenties, but he was more than ten centimeters taller than him, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he said while tidying up the collar on his body: "Young man, don't be frizzy in doing things, the motherland will still need you in the future." With that, the middle-aged man walked into my family's paper shop.

Looking at the middle-aged man who looked like a sour master, I couldn't help laughing, and after comparing his middle fingers, I followed him in, if it weren't for the fact that he might become a customer of my house, I would have beaten him down a long time ago.

Entering the shop, Grandpa was busy giving the paper horse frame stickers in his hand, and ignored the middle-aged man who looked like he was wandering around. And when I arrived, it was just that Ling's grandfather looked away, and at the same time pointed to Miwu (paste) who was almost gone, and said, "Why didn't you come until now, I don't want to ask for a daughter-in-law?" Go and boil some migo (paste). ”

I was most afraid of discussing the topic of marrying a daughter-in-law with my grandfather, so I nodded hurriedly and went into the back room to start boiling paste. After staying up, I suddenly heard the middle-aged man's voice in the shop, "Master, are you the Liujia paper shop in Hongcun?" ”

Then came my grandfather's casual voice, "Hongcun is a few miles away, I really haven't heard of other paper shops surnamed Liu." ”

The middle-aged man is not stupid, and he is very shrewd, hearing my grandfather say this, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, "Hehe, don't be surprised, master, dare to ask if you are Liu Wanshi?" ”

At this time, I happened to walk out of the back room with the boiled paste, and I heard my grandfather's soft voice, which was a response.

As soon as the middle-aged man heard that his grandfather was Liu Wanshi, a bright smile appeared on his stiff face, and he didn't say anything, but directly took out a small note in his pocket and handed it over. Intrigued, I hurried over to see what was on the note.

Grandpa didn't want to hide it from me, and opened it in front of me. My eyes are sharp, and the first thing I saw was the words on the note, which were very simple and clear, just seven words "a little brighter" and then signed "Li Baqiu".

Li Baqiu is a person's name, I also recognize him, in my impression he is a person who goes to the rivers and lakes to eat hundreds of meals, he has also come to my house a few times, usually calling my grandfather Uncle Liu. Grandpa's Baidu identity, including what he knows, is very annoying.

I don't know why, as soon as my grandfather receives the note he wrote, he will do his best to do whatever it is, obviously Li Baqiu took an order outside this time and came to my grandfather for help.

As for that little bit of double brightness, it is a black saying on the road, which means that the person who comes is a rich man and can rip off bamboo poles.

The man saw that I didn't speak after reading the note with my grandfather, and he couldn't hold his breath, and he didn't know what was written on it, so he had to say out loud: "Mr. Liu, I believe you all know my intention, and he also told you very clearly in Baqiu, right?" ”

I stood aside and almost didn't laugh out loud, feeling that this person thought that we could read the wordless book on it, what could it mean by just a few words? I'm afraid I can't even say a fart.

Seeing that I was secretly smirking on the side, my grandfather pretended to cough lowly, and then stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, and I had no choice but to pour tea for his real water.

After filling the teacup in front of the middle-aged man with tea, he said again: "First introduce yourself, the contemptible surname Jiang Mingzhirong is a small branch secretary of the Anhui Provincial Talent Department, old man, you can call me Jiang branch secretary." ”

Grandpa pretended to be surprised and glanced at Jiang Zhishu, a little stunned and flattered, and then politely greeted him. Regarding the expression on his grandfather's face and the politeness in his tone, Jiang Zhishu was obviously very useful, and his smiling eyes were narrowed into a slit, and it was really difficult to find without a magnifying glass.

Seeing that this face was also enough for the other party, Grandpa no longer hesitated to go straight to the topic, "Jiang Zhishu, Baqiu just mentioned to me about helping, and you have to tell me the specific details." ”

"Oh, this..."He smashed his mouth, as if he didn't know where to start, and finally after looking around left and right that there was indeed no fourth person in the entire shop, he lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Liu, I won't tell you, this time I was sent by the government to talk to you alone, but you want to keep it a secret." ”

Grandpa nodded in understanding, but he was still not satisfied, and looked straight at me with his small slitted eyes. In order to hear this secret, which may not be a secret, I had to nod my head vigorously, for fear that he would not let me listen to it if his brain was hot.

After getting my nod, Jiang Zhishu's face also began to have a touch of solemnity, and after brewing for a long time, he revealed his true intention.

It turns out that what he just said is not false, nor is it exaggerated, in fact, he was indeed appointed by the government, as for why he wants to be so secretive, it has to start from the first month of last year.
