50, grandpa's notes
This is the first time I went to my aunt's house, in fact, for so many years, I basically have no impression of this aunt and grandmother, the two seem to be the kind that do not get along, but the reason is not as I imagined that there is a conflict between grandma and grandma, and the death of grandma and uncle is not half connected, just because grandma and grandma are too far away, and grandpa said that there are other reasons, but he didn't say what the reason is, like a past that he doesn't want to mention.
My dad didn't go because he was possessed by a half-immortal, so only my grandfather and I went together, and we took the car for about half a day. It took several times to arrive, and my grandfather called my aunt and grandmother in advance, and my cousin came to pick us up, and this cousin was the first time I had met. But he was very enthusiastic about us, after all, grandpa was his own uncle.
This was the first time I had seen my aunt and grandmother, she was much kinder than I had imagined, and she was a very gentle old man. I was very happy to see my grandfather and I coming, and I could see that my grandfather had a very good relationship with her, and although my aunt and grandmother were old, they couldn't see their old age at all. The whole person is very healthy. After seeing me, he kept holding my hand and asked me with concern: "I supported your grandfather and said that something happened to you, but we were also worried, and now it's okay, and it can be regarded as the blessing of your ancestors." ”
Every action of the eldest aunt and grandmother, every sentence reveals natural sincerity, and it does not make people feel uncomfortable at all, so my impression of her has changed greatly, and after sitting down, grandpa directly cut to the point, he said: "Sister, there is actually one thing I want to ask you when I come with Mu Tou this time." ”
The eldest aunt and grandmother said: "You came all the way here, you can't just come to see me, there must be something, but I don't know what it is to come in person, and I can't say it on the phone." ”
Grandpa said, "It's about the notebook in the old man's hand." ”
Grandpa just said the two words of the note, and the aunt's face changed instantly, and then she looked at her grandfather and said, "After so many years, why did you suddenly mention this." ”
Grandpa also looked at his aunt and grandmother and said: "I know that the old man gave this notebook to you, but I haven't fought for it all these years, I just think it's good for you to keep it, but now this notebook is related to the life and death of wood, and even the life and death of the Xiao family." So I had to come and borrow this notebook from you, we just want to know what the old man wrote in the notebook. ”
My aunt and grandmother looked at me and then at my grandfather, but they didn't answer my grandfather's question directly. Instead, he asked, "You already knew about this notebook." ”
Only then did the grandfather tell the truth, he said: "I have seen this notebook once, but I haven't read it, but this notebook has not been left after the old man died." A few of our brothers and sisters saw you alone before he died, so I should have handed it over to you. ”
The eldest aunt and grandmother pondered for a moment, and then said, "What the old man said is true. ”
Grandpa asked, "What is really?" ”
The eldest aunt and grandmother said: "The old man handed over this notebook to me, not because he didn't trust you, but because he knew that something was going to happen to the Xiao family, but this notebook couldn't be kept in the Xiao family, so he asked me to take it out and keep it all the time." And I have been telling me not to have too much contact with the Xiao family in the future, which is why I have not been in contact with you for so many years, the old man said that if you have too much contact with the Xiao family, you will get into trouble with things that should not be provoked. This notebook can't be hidden. ”
Grandpa listened and said, "It turns out that the old man has already made arrangements. ”
After the eldest aunt and grandmother finished speaking, she looked at me again, and then said, "I have been worried about it since I heard about the accident with the wood, and my heart is so anxious that I know that this notebook may not be hidden." You're going to come sooner or later, and I thought it was when you called me. Since you have already spoken, and the old man has also explained, as long as you open your mouth to ask for this notebook, then I will give it to you. ”
After saying that, the eldest aunt and grandmother got up and went to her room, and then took out a wooden box, which was very small and delicate, and then he opened the wooden box and took out the notes from it, and I saw that this was an older notebook, and her grandfather said later: "This is it, I have never read the contents of it." And the old man also explained that no one in the Xiao family could see it, except for the descendant who was born short of wood and water. ”
This descendant who lacks wood and water is naturally me.
So my grandfather took it and handed it to me, and said, "Wood, look." ”
I took the notes, and all I felt was my heart beating, not because I was nervous, but because I was afraid. I was scared of what was written.
I opened the notes under the watchful eyes of my aunt and grandfather, and there were not many contents in the notes, and to my surprise, only the first one was written down, and the rest was all blank.
I saw that there was only one thing on the only page, which read:
It was the autumn of 1947, and Xue Yunhai and I joined a team to cut wood deep in the mountains, but when we arrived in the mountains, we realized that the team was ostensibly logging. But we went to the mountains to look for something, because when we got to the mountains, we were immediately controlled, and there were two foreigners, like Germans, and these people were disguised as military commanders, and we thought they were going to the mountains to make an ambush, but later we found out that they were digging the mountains.
And the reason why I found Xue Yunhai and me is entirely because Xue Yunhai is Mr. Yin and Yang. They need a capable Mr. Yin Yang obviously Xue Yunhai is such a person Xue Yunhai recommended me again and. He knew what he was going to do beforehand, but he didn't tell me, and even when I asked him, he didn't tell me the truth, he just told me that there was a secret in the mountain. That's what we're here to find the secret.
We built a simple house in the forest, then dug the mountain during the day and rested in the simple house at night.
After the third day of coming here, we dug a cave, and out of it crawled out a giant python that was as thick as a man, and at that time everyone thought that they had dug up a dragon, because this python was so big that it frightened everyone, and then the python climbed into the forest and disappeared.
And this hole is not a python cave, because it is a stone cave, and it is not natural, it is more like someone deliberately dug it. We all went in, and I felt like we had walked a hundred meters or so inside, and it was an abyss, like a fault under the mountains, and I didn't know what it was. After that, the two Germans went down with a few people, and Xue Yunhai also went down, but Xue Yunhai didn't let me go down, only let me stay on it, and he told me that if something happened, I would flee immediately.
They went down for about half a day, and we waited on it, because there were military commanders in charge, and I did not dare to flee even though I was a little panicked, until it was evening. Suddenly, someone came up, but there was only one person, and that was Xue Yunhai.
When I asked him why the people below didn't come up, they got separated after he said that he had gone down, and there was a labyrinth below, and he had climbed up by mistake.
The people in the military command were a little panicked when they heard it, it was obvious that the two Germans were very important, but then Xue Yunhai said that there was danger below, and we found that his body was full of wounds, and asked him what he had encountered, and he said that it seemed to be a ghost.
So the military commander decided to wait for dawn to go down to see, but that night, when I suddenly woke up at night, I saw Xue Yunhai standing motionless at the head of my bed, and he said to me: "I am not Xue Yunhai, Xue Yunhai has died below." ”
I woke up in a daze, startled, and left abruptly, and by the time I got up to look, he was completely gone.
And I only realized a problem later, that is, all the people in the simple room died, that is to say, the rest of these people were all killed, and their dead eyes were all wide-eyed, as if they had seen something extremely terrible, their mouths were wide open, I saw so many dead people, I remember Xue Yunhai's words before he went down, and he fled from this mountain overnight, as for Xue Yunhai, I have never seen him since then.
