Chapter 9 Everyone Has Secrets
I hurriedly asked my mother, "Mom, what's wrong with your eyes?" ”
My mother looked into my eyes and asked her, but she smiled reluctantly and said, "Don't say this." Or tell me about you, where have you been all these years? ”
"I ......"
I was just about to answer when I heard the iron door behind me squeak open. A man came out of the door, and it was my father. When my father saw me, he was surprised, and then delighted. But these feelings only flashed in his eyes, replaced by anger.
"Old Fang, it's Yu'er back!" The mother said to the father with a happy face.
I hurriedly stepped forward and greeted my father: "Dad, I'm back." ”
"Smack!" , my father gave me a big mouth directly. The crisp and loud of this fan is almost "resounding in the sky". My face suddenly ached, and I immediately felt a salty, fishy liquid coming out of the corner of my mouth. Don't think about it, it's definitely blood.
You unfilial thing! Do you know to come back? My father scolded viciously, "Go away, I don't know you!" ”
"What are you doing? Old side. My mother immediately pulled my father away and said, "The child has already returned, why are you still beating him?" ”
"Come back? Does he still know to come back? What has he been doing all these years? No news at all. My father said, "Isn't it because of him that your eyes are like this?" ”
Hearing my father's words, I was really sure that my mother's eyes really couldn't see, and the guilt in my heart immediately increased a little. But my mother said good things to me and said to my father, "Don't do that. It's not easy for the child to come back, so let's talk about it in the house first. ”
As she spoke, my mother took me and my father into the house. When I entered the house, my mother took my father with me and began to make dinner for me. I wanted to go over and help, but my mother wouldn't let me. Let me hurry back to my room and rest first, and then talk about where I've been in the past few years.
During the banquet, my father's anger did not subside, and he remained silent. My mother asked me this and that, and shushed me for warmth. In order to catch the wind and wash the dust for me. A good bottle of wine was also specially prepared. After drinking two glasses. I told them about what happened when I went abroad. Of course, there's so much going on that I can't go all about it. Only the main ones were picked and said, and some of the others were forgotten. Some are passing by.
That's it. Say it over and over again. It's late at night. However, the two of them did not seem to feel sleepy at all, and still listened to me explain those strange experiences with relish. After hearing this, my father listened. Seeing that I did have a reason, my face softened slightly.
I talked to them about Savannah, about Ghost Island, about Atlantis, about Egypt. Finally, I mentioned the time tunnel, and my grandfather. My mother naturally believed in what I said, not because of how high her ideological consciousness was. It's just that she believed what she said to me very much.
Mother said, "Your father and I tried to contact your aunt, but we couldn't. It turns out that these things happened, so it's no wonder. Later, your dad and I heard that you were missing, so we went to the United States to look for you. But your aunt's house burned down. So, we really gave up. What happened to your aunt? ”
When I was talking about it just now, I deliberately concealed or omitted some things. After all, there are some things that are difficult for ordinary people to accept and understand. For example, I wouldn't tell my aunt about her becoming a vampire. If you have spoken, there is only harm and no good.
When my mother asked me about my aunt's current situation, I couldn't say. After all, ten years have passed, and it's really hard to say what exactly happened to them. Then he said to his mother: "My aunt's injuries were not very serious, and when she saw that the house was burning, she moved with her uncle." I don't know why they didn't contact you, or why they didn't come back. ”
The mother nodded, indicating that she almost understood. Seeing that the time was not early, he hurriedly packed up the scraps and swept away the mess. I went to the pool alone and washed the dishes and chopsticks. It's like the eye can see.
When I looked at my mother's eyes, I asked my father what was going on. My father said it was fine, but he cried a lot. Coupled with excessive worry, I became temporarily blind. However, if the conditions are right, there is still the possibility of restoration.
After that, my father looked straight at me, staring at me a little uncomfortable. He said, "Tell the truth! ”
Seeing my father ask like this, I quickly pretended to be stupid and said, "Huh? What the? ”
"You kid, you have a lot of flowers and intestines in your belly!" The father said, "Speak up, don't think you'll be able to fool you." Your mother can't see it, can't I see it? Tell me what you didn't say, including your aunt! ”
Now that my father has seen through it, I have nothing to hide anymore. So I told my father about the things I didn't talk about, including the reasonable and unreasonable, scientific and unscientific incidents. Of course, it also includes the fact that my aunt has become a vampire. After hearing this, my father looked thoughtful.
But when I asked my father about my grandfather, he also shook his head and said it wasn't very clear. The foreign names and the mysterious incidents I talked about, my father said that he had hardly heard of them. However, the incident of the "ghost ship" seems to have been told by my grandfather, but it was also said when my grandfather was drunk.
According to my father, it can be seen that the incident hurt my grandfather a lot, and it is a taboo. My father once asked my grandfather, but my grandfather kept his mouth shut and insisted that there was nothing to do. Those are just dreams in your sleep, and you don't have to take them seriously. As for the specifics of what happened, it is not known who was involved.
After saying that, he told me to wait a minute, there was something for me.
My mother and I looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine my father was selling in his gourd, so we had to wait. After about ten minutes, my father came out of the house. He said to me, "These are some of the many things your grandfather left behind during his lifetime, and I guess it will be helpful for you to take them and study them." ”
When I saw it, it was a half-sized box, heavy, and it should be filled with something. Finally, I asked my father if he knew the map under his grandfather's tombstone.
The father smiled and said, "Of course I know, I buried the picture in the first place!" ”
My father's answer surprised me, it turned out that everyone was a participant. This matter is getting more and more confusing, how much else is behind the matter that I don't know? It seems that everyone has secrets. (To be continued......)
