49. The whereabouts of the notes
I looked at my grandfather and asked him in amazement, "Grandpa, do you know Mr. Zou and his master?" ”
Grandpa glanced at Mr. Zou, and then said slowly: "I don't know each other, I've just met once, if you want to say that there is someone in this family who knows him, it should be your grandfather." ”
I looked at Mr. Zou, and it was exactly the same as what Mr. Zou said, Xue Yunhai and my grandfather were indeed involved, so I looked at my grandfather again and asked my grandfather, "What is the relationship between Mr. Zou and his master?" ”
Grandpa looked at me and said, "The old man has never told me about this, and I guessed this." If you really want to ask me what the relationship between them is, I can't answer you, but you, your fate with Mr. Zou has long been predestined. ”
I don't understand. He asked, "Me and Mr. Zou?" ”
Grandpa said: "I only saw Xue Yunhai once, at that time your grandfather had passed away, he came to our house and only said one sentence, saying that there would be a man in our family who lacked wood and water, and then he gave me a note, on which he wrote a character, he said that if this man was born, let me go to the next village to find such a person to help me make up for my life, and it would be fine." ”
Grandpa kept looking at me when he said this, I was a little stunned when I heard it, and then I heard what grandpa meant, I said, "I wasn't born when Mr. Zou said this?" ”
Grandpa said, "What's more, you haven't been born yet." At that time, your father was not married, so this Xue Yunhai was not ordinary. ”
I looked at Mr. Zou and asked, "Mr. Zou, do you know about this?" ”
Mr. Zou shook his head, and he said, "The master never mentioned this matter to me. ”
I looked at Mr. Zou's expression puzzled, he usually never lies, so he is also full of doubts about this matter, it should be unaware, I was surprised, so how did Xue Yunhai know about this, in fact, it doesn't matter how he knows, what matters is why he knows, and what does this matter have to do with his experience with his grandfather, I seem to have found the key to the matter, and it seems that I haven't found anything, I just looked at my grandfather blankly, and asked in a wooden voice:" Why haven't you ever mentioned it before? ”
Grandpa said: "Xue Yunhai has specially explained. Don't talk about it until you're twenty, and when you're eighteen you start to go crazy and don't get better until recently, I'm not going to tell you about it for the rest of my life. But I see that your behavior has been getting more and more wrong lately, and with your dad just having something like this, I think what you're looking for has something to do with it. ”
After listening to his grandfather's words, Mr. Zou said, "It is indeed related to this matter, and the key is in the wood." ”
Mr. Zou looked at me after speaking. Looking at me motionlessly, as if I already knew something, I looked at Mr. Zou with a weak heart and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
"I never thought about it before, but now I think it's the only explanation," Mr. Zou said. ”
I asked, "What explanation?" ”
Mr. Zou said, "It's that you and the place where my master and your grandfather went and that experience are closely related, or your birth is because of this incident." ”
I looked at Mr. Zou almost as if I had heard a fantasy, and I only felt that this astonishing sentence made me feel a little uneasy, and I felt that he had not finished his words. And the latter words will be even more scary.
Sure enough, Mr. Zou said, "If I guess correctly, the reason why you were born is because you were originally a ghost fetus." ”
When Mr. Zou said the word "ghost fetus", I heard my mother suddenly scream "ah" and was born. I thought it was Mr. Zou's words that scared her, but when I saw my mother's expression, it didn't look like she was scared, but like some secret had been exposed. Looking at me and Mr. Zou with a shocked face, I noticed that my mother's expression was wrong, so I asked stupidly, "My mother, you already knew, didn't you?" ”
My mom covered her mouth with her hand, not knowing if it was surprise or whatever, but it took her a while to calm down and be able to speak, and then she said to me, "I've never dared to talk to anyone about it, and I've always thought that I was hallucinating, but I didn't think it was true." ”
At this time, the eyes of the whole family were focused on my mother, and my father asked my mother, "What happened, why don't I know anything about it?" ”
My mother said, "It's not that you don't know, but you don't believe me, do you remember when I was pregnant with wood I once told you that I heard him talking to me in the middle of the night, but you don't believe that I was too concerned about the child in my belly and hallucinated, and then I was afraid that you would treat it as a psychopath." That's why I didn't talk to you about it again. ”
My dad was stunned for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "There is indeed such a thing, I thought you were hallucinating when you were pregnant with a child." ”
My mom ignored my dad and continued: "Sometimes it's creepy laughter. Sometimes it was the sound of crying, and I was scared for a long time, until finally the child was born, and then I was relieved, and then these phenomena never appeared again, and this matter gradually faded away, until Mr. Zou brought up this stubble again, and only then did he recall these past events. ”
Mr. Zou said, "That's fine. ”
I just felt depressed and couldn't say anything, and then Mr. Zou asked my grandfather, "So did his grandfather leave notes or anything?" ”
Grandpa listened and said, "I didn't stay, if the old man had any notes, I should know, but I have never seen them." ”
Then Mr. Zou looked at his grandmother. Grandma didn't rush to answer, but glanced at my grandfather, then looked at Mr. Zou and said, "Maybe it's at my aunt's." ”
Grandma's words were like exploding a pot, and grandpa obviously didn't know about it, he looked at grandma and said, "What did you say?" ”
Grandma said: "You may not know this, I have never mentioned it to you, before the old man passed away, the aunt once came back to visit, one night I saw the aunt and the old man alone, the old man seems to have explained something to the aunt, I guess even you don't know, it should be Mr. Zou mentioned this notebook." ”
Grandpa didn't speak after listening, obviously grandma can't lie for no reason, and grandma hasn't said it for so many years, it should also be estimated that grandpa and aunt grandma brother-sister relationship, so I chose to be silent, grandma said: "In that case, the old man handed over to my aunt everything is the old man's will, I don't want you to have a conflict with my aunt because of this matter, and I can't be a person in the middle, so I simply choose not to tell you." ”
Probably due to the influence of imaginary memories, my impression of my aunt and grandmother is not very good, and these conjectures have become far-reaching memories, and I have forgotten what my aunt and grandmother looked like. Mr. Zou asked my grandfather, "If that is the case, can you borrow this notebook from his aunt and grandmother so that we can see what has happened." ”
Grandpa said, "It should be possible." ”
It's just that when he said this, the grandfather suddenly said: "But since the old man handed over the Jiang thing to my eldest sister." And I don't know at all, I don't know if the old man has the meaning of backing, if the old man has other meanings to explain, I'm afraid that my eldest sister won't show me. ”
Mr. Zou groaned, and then said, "Maybe it's not what you think, it should be that Grandpa Mu already knows what is in this house, or knows what will happen, and this notebook is not safe to keep in this house." That's why he let the wood be taken out by his aunt and grandmother for safekeeping, not letting you know that maybe it was to protect the people in the family, but he knew that the truth would always be revealed one day, otherwise why did he choose to give the note to your eldest sister and not destroy it completely? ”
What Mr. Zou said was very reasonable, and my grandfather felt reasonable when he heard it, so he said, "Then I'll go to my eldest sister and ask for it." ”
Mr. Zou said: "I am an outsider and it is not suitable to go, maybe the wood can go with you." ”
