Chapter 68: The Old Man's Past, the Official Paranormal Organization?
"Can you tell me everything......
In autumn and winter, the weather was very cold, and I felt that we should be in the mountains, because there would be the sound of birds from time to time, and the air was very fresh, there was no city smoke and dust, and under the sun, the old man and I were sitting on a big rock, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Ye boy...... Do you blame me? There was a hint of desolation in the old man's voice, and he took a deep breath and asked again.
Do I blame the old man? He is my grandfather, but since I was a child, I have never seen him, whether it is Xi Feng, the fifth face, or the old man who is by my side now, they have not fulfilled the responsibility of their elders, at the age when I should be coquettish in their arms, I already have to live alone, but, do I hate the old man and the fifth face? Do I hate Lin Xifeng, who has no ties to family affection?
Seeing that I didn't answer, the strange old man sighed, "Ye boy, if you want to hate me, hate me." The old man paused, his voice filled with loneliness, "I brought Xi Feng into that organization......
"Old man, what the hell is going on, tell me......" I begged the old man, I wanted to know everything, I had no relatives, but I still wanted to know, why I didn't have relatives, why did they leave me.
The strange old man was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Alas...... It's all wronged, cough cough ......" The old man sighed, moved his body over, and sat down beside me, I didn't urge the old man, but quietly waited for the old man to speak by himself, I knew that all this had something to do with the organization they were talking about.
"When I was younger...... Ahem, I met your grandma. The old man paused, and then said, "She is a very strange person...... It was a very special time, and many poor families would starve to death. My father, a landowner, had a few dollars in the family, and when the family was transferred, we were riding in a carriage, and when we passed a corner, we almost hit and killed your grandmother...... After that, she followed our carriage all the time, and we left him far behind, but when we stopped to rest, she always kept up with us, sometimes for a day, sometimes for two days......"
I didn't know what the strange old man asked to mention my grandmother, as if it had nothing to do with what I was asking, but I listened quietly and did not interrupt him, for I also wanted to know what kind of grandmother I had.
"Her body was dirty, her clothes were torn, and her hair was messy...... Ahem......" The old man coughed a few more times, and finally stopped, before he continued: "Once we stopped to rest, and she caught up with us again, and this time, her face turned even paler, and I looked very uncomfortable...... I took a few steamed buns for her, and after she took them, she devoured them...... My father urged me to get into the carriage and was about to leave, but she threw away the steamed buns and ran after our carriage, and after a few steps, she fell to the ground hard......"
"And then?" I couldn't help but ask.
"She fainted, and I couldn't stand it, so I got out of the carriage and carried her into the car...... I married her, and when the family counted our birthdays, there was a fortune teller who stared at your grandmother for a long time, and finally shook his head and persuaded me not to marry her. The family unanimously thought that this was a bad omen and strongly opposed this marriage, but I still married your grandmother without hesitation, and soon, I gave birth to Xi Feng. ”
The old man sighed, his voice trembling a little, "I thought we would live in peace forever, but...... Unfortunately, overnight, my father and mother, as well as my sister and brother, all died, confirming the fortune teller's words, and the people in the village were clamoring for your grandmother to be killed...... I saved her and tried my best to persuade everyone, and everyone was finally willing to let your grandmother go, but one after another people died in the village, and this incident alarmed the whole country, and soon, some strange people came into the village and took your grandmother away...... And tell me that your grandmother is not human......"
My mouth was wide open and my heart was full of shock.
"Originally, I didn't believe it, but those strange people, in front of me, turned your grandmother back into a prototype, which is a ghost ...... that has turned into white bones."
"Grandma is really a ghost! He ...... that Xifeng"
The strange old man snorted, "So, when I know about you and the right spirit girl, I will be so opposed, people and ghosts have different paths, and there will be no good results together...... After your grandmother was taken away by that group of people, I took Xi Feng to live, and when I saw Xi Feng, I could think of your grandmother, and I even wanted to kill Xi Feng who was born to me and your grandmother, and atone for my dead family, but I couldn't do it after all......"
The old man's tone was sad, and I felt as if I had entered the story he was telling.
"Until one day, those strange people came to the door again...... They said that they were going to take Xi Feng, at that time, Xi Feng was already twelve years old, he was very smart, and he learned everything quickly. I hesitated for a night, but finally agreed, because Xi Feng is a knot in my heart, and I don't want to see him...... Those strange people gave me a book, which was full of records of non-human research, and they also left me contact information, saying that I could go to Xifeng at any time......"
The old man's speech slowed down, and his physical strength was exhausted, so that his voice became very weak, I didn't intervene much, the old man said these words, I was deeply attracted, it turned out that the old man's life was also so extraordinary.
"Since then, I have devoted myself to studying the things in that book, I have been in the mountains for twenty years, and finally researched something, and I have also figured out that what Xifeng's mother did is not about Xifeng, he is my son, and this family affection cannot be parted......"
Hearing the word family affection, my heart ached for a few seconds, does Xi Feng know what family affection is?
"So I found that strange person, he brought me into this organization, until that moment, I didn't know how shocking the research of this organization is, how capable the people in it are, although the official always opposes superstitious remarks, but some supernatural phenomena have made the official feel afraid, so this official supernatural organization was officially established to specialize in studying and solving some supernatural phenomena......"
"You mean, this organization is official, a paranormal organization?" I covered my mouth, it turned out that the official was also studying these things, and it seemed that they had studied them very deeply.
The strange old man snorted and continued: "This organization is very large and secretive, once you join, you will not be allowed to leave for the rest of your life, unless you die, so I have never dared to let the people in the organization know about you...... Otherwise, you will also be killed......"
"What is this official organization called?" I rubbed my eyes, the darkness in front of me made me uncomfortable.
"I can't tell you, you'd better forget about all these things." The old man sighed, "I joined that organization, and I also met Xi Feng, he is already a high-status figure in the organization, everyone calls him a genius, but my abandonment made him very indifferent, and he doesn't recognize me as a father......"
I frowned, remembering what Xi Feng called the old man, Lin Shu, this is the old man's name, and Xi Feng actually called his father's name.
"Alas...... Later, Xi Feng fell in love with another girl in the organization, and they escaped in order to live an ordinary life, and before leaving, he still told me where they lived, and I was very relieved...... The good times didn't last long, and the people in the organization, in order to find Xi Feng and Fifth Yan, used some special methods to force me to ask, but I really couldn't hold on, so I said that I leaked my mouth...... This is the second wrong thing I've ever done in my life......"
I know that the old man thinks that the first wrong thing he did was to abandon Xi Feng, and the second thing is to confess the hiding place of Xi Feng and the fifth face.
"So, Xi Feng hates me until now...... At that time, you were already four years old, and you couldn't speak, and on the day Xi Feng was taken away, he angrily threw you to the ground, and scolded you for being a fool and a waste, and you couldn't speak when you were four years old, and it was useless to ask for it......"
"So, he abandoned me, didn't he?" My heart hurts, but I still said it, I don't have any memory of what happened when I was a child, for as long as I can remember, I lived in a welfare home, and when I grew up a little, I rented a house and took care of myself.
"Alas...... Everything is retribution......" The old man's hoarse voice was tinged with sadness, "From the moment I rescued your grandmother, I was wrong...... Everything is retribution......"
My thoughts are very confused, it turns out that the old man's life has been so extraordinary, and Xi Feng's life is also very tortuous, I don't think it's the old man's fault, in my opinion, everything is the evil fruit of that organization, and for Xi Feng, I absolutely can't forgive, even if there is any reason, I shouldn't leave my own biological child, even today, he still thinks that his child is a waste and doesn't deserve to be his child, so I can't forgive.
I was thinking about it, but the strange old man's cough intensified again, as if even his lungs were about to cough out, so I quickly patted the old man on the back and patted him for a while, and the old man gradually stopped coughing.
"Ye boy...... Actually, the time I saw you in the hospital was not accidental, it was because I wanted to see you, so I ......"
I nodded, and asked the old man to stop talking, my heart was very sour, I knew that the old man pretended to meet me because he wanted to see me, but even he didn't expect that we were all involved in a conspiracy.
At this time, a car whistled sound, it was Xiao Hang.
"Brother Ye." Xiao Hang called me, "Master! How did you become like this! ”
