I got on the train with a huge sum of more than 100,000 yuan on my back, and I hardly closed my eyes on the train for dozens of hours, on the one hand, I wondered when I would be able to meet them again, and on the other hand, I was afraid that someone would steal my money after I fell asleep. When I got home, this journey was over, and when I got home, I lay on the broken bed that I slept on since I was a child, and my heart was extremely peaceful.

After that, the days passed very quickly, and a few days after I went back, I found a small engineering team and began to rebuild the house, and the house I live in now was rebuilt at that time, and after the house was built, my house was already the best in the whole village, and the villagers were full of rumors that I had made all kinds of fortunes outside, and the eyes of envy and hatred filled the whole village for a while. But only my father has been watching coldly, and my mother is very happy, she thinks that her precious son has really done something amazing outside and made a fortune, and she can finally rest assured and enjoy the blessings.

This kind of leisure continued for a while, until one day when I was about to take out the money from my backpack under the bed, I was accidentally seen by my father who was standing at the door. It was obvious that his face was getting darker and darker, and he stood at the door of my room without saying a word, staring at me, motionless.

I was hairy by his eyes, goosebumps all over my body, this really can't blame me for being timid, for my father, I have loved and feared since I was a child. Love because he is really good to me, never like other fathers, not allowed me to do this and that, and even let me play freely in my studies, so the whole childhood is extremely easy. I'm afraid that if this person says the same, for example, if I do something of a bad nature in his opinion, he will only seriously warn me that I will not have a next time, and if it happens again, what will happen. When he was young, he relied on his favor, and at first he didn't take his warnings to heart, until he was beaten by him again and again, until he had a rod in his heart called the principle scale, once touched, he would be unlucky.

So, seeing his expression like this now, the terrifying memories of my childhood immediately flashed through my mind, and I knew that this was a terrible thing.

I pushed my backpack back under the bed with as little movement as possible, and asked tremblingly, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

"How did you get so much money, I'll only ask you once, you'd better answer honestly."

This statement was his signature warning, and I weighed it again and again, thinking about whether I wanted to tell a lie or the truth. For a while, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

"Dad, come and sit down, I will give a full explanation, but I promise that this money is not illegal wealth, at most it can only be said that it is an ownerless thing, and I have found it, please don't worry too much."

My father walked slowly to the front and sat down, and I began to lay out the whole treasure hunt and the plate, and as I listened, his brow furrowed more and more, and when I finished speaking, I felt that his face was so tense that it could drip blood.

Those cold eyes stared at me for a long time and were silent, and suddenly he let out a long sigh, and his breath was bitter and sad. "Xiaowen, why did you embark on this road, didn't your father and I really do enough? Or is there really such a thing as fate? ”

Also? What does that mean?

Seeing my confused look, my father said slowly, "I don't know if you still remember how your grandfather left, I don't know if you still remember what life was like in our family when your grandfather was alive?" ”

When Grandpa was alive? I remember that it was still a war year, and although our village was far away from the war, because of the war, the whole family did not have enough to eat, and I was afraid that I would come here that day. Whether it is day or night, every household is closed doors, dare not go out, the road is full of gloom, everyone dares to go to the ground to dig some roots in the evening, if you are lucky to dig sweet potatoes, even if it is a good day.

At that time, rice was a rare commodity, and if you could spend the whole year in peace, you would be able to eat a bowl of rice, drink some gruel, and have some pickles in the New Year. That's beautiful.

Yes, but at that time, my family could eat rice every day, and there was often meat to eat, and when I was a child, I was better off than any other child, but my grandfather strictly asked me not to say it.

I vaguely remember that my grandfather would occasionally be away from home for a long time, and when he came back, it was always late at night, and he would always carry a big cloth bag with a bunch of strange things, fish and meat were all ordinary things.

When you think about it, it's really not right.

"No one in the village had ever starved to death at that time, but only our family came over in good health and peace, haven't you thought about why?"

My mind suddenly woke up like an enlightenment, "Dad, you mean grandpa used to be ......"

"Yes, he has the ability to provide for his family, so he has to find those ancient tombs that outsiders do not know, steal gold, silver and jewels from them, and go to the big city to exchange money for us to eat and drink. I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that now you are also on this path. My father slapped his thigh in remorse, as if he was blaming himself for not disciplining me. I knew that even if I broke your legs, I wouldn't let you leave. ”

Scare! What a metaphor this is.

I still want to quibble, "Dad, I really didn't go to rob someone's grave." As I said earlier, these were found, and they didn't go to the cemetery at all. ”

"Your grandfather used to say the same thing, but as the number of robberies became more and more frequent, do you know what he told me later?" The father paused for a moment, "He said, as long as you step into this business, there will be no chance to pull it out and wash it away, all the tombs, all the ill-gotten gains, there is spirituality, and they will eventually find you one day and make you pay for what you have done in the past." ”

"It's not that scary." What he said gradually became suspenseful, and I couldn't accept it.

"Your name is obtained by your grandfather, and your name is Zhang Wen, in order to imply being quiet, learning more knowledge, and living this life in peace. Otherwise, why do you think that your grandfather can get so much wealth so easily, but why still expect you to live a stable life. “

My grandfather is in my mind, but I can't put it together.

"Dad, to be honest, I can't quite remember what grandpa looks like. I can't even remember how my grandfather walked. ”
