"Dad, how does Dad, think of Grandpa?"

In the simple hut, under the yellowing light bulb, Kai, who was still a child, sat on the sofa and asked the man sitting next to him, who was loving and haggard. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Do you like it, or do you hate it?" Kai asked, looking at his father.

The man also sat on the sofa, looking at a letter on the table, squinting his eyes and being silent for a moment, as if to consider whether he should pick up the letter, for such a thin piece of paper, perhaps heavier than a piece of iron, with a burning heat. It was as if after many years, the enemy threw a weapon.

"I don't know, your dad doesn't know," the man spoke, and as a result of his thoughts, he reached out and touched the letter, "Probably a lot of people are like this, there are always some things, and you can't be completely sure of an answer in the end." ”

It was a special letter, and it did not go through the formal process to the man's hand, but the sender sent his own subordinates to deliver it to the door in person, and the letterhead was neither signed nor written where it was to be sent, so the letter was just a formality, and the envelope was more like a box or something.

But the man knows that it was that person, given to himself, after so many years, it turns out that he still remembers himself, and at this moment, what kind of opinion does that person have about himself.

The moment the man's fingers touched the envelope, he paused, his fingers trembled slightly, but they recovered within two seconds. The man almost forgot that the envelope is like an envelope, how can it be hot, it is just a matter of his own mentality, and he is too neurotic.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" asked.

"Wait a minute," the man replied, staring at the envelope in his hand, thinking of many things that Kai could not understand and relate, and the envelope did not even feel tangible in his hand, as if it were just an empty envelope, "Let me finish answering your question." ”

Kai looked at his father in puzzlement, looking at the man's expression when he held the envelope, the lines at the corners of his mouth were crooked in an imperceptible arc, and he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.

"Indeed, I hated him very much, I hated him to the point that I almost hated him to death, and I thought that it would be nice if I had lived without him in my world, that I would rather have been born in a poor family myself, and that my father would have been a different person," the man said, slowly tearing open the envelope, "I never believed that I would like that person, I mean since I knew everything, but even earlier, those many years, I can't forget it, after all, it was real, and mine did grow to that age under the care of that person." ”

"It took me so long to finally compromise, it turns out that my feelings for him, there is indeed a part, called something I like, which can never be completely extinguished," he clutched his chest, "after all, we still have the same blood in our bodies." ”

However, at that time, Kai didn't understand very well, he liked and hated, and when he was ignorant, it was still a simple antagonistic relationship.

"I hate him to the core, and I love him to the blood," the man pulled out a piece of paper from the envelope, so much effort, that person, just gave the man such a piece of paper, "I'm also old, a long time ago, I can't hate it......"

Kai didn't hear his father's last words clearly for a while, and his attention was focused on his father looking at the piece of paper, as if he remembered something, and then suddenly burst into tears.

"That person, how do you remember so much?" the man covered his face with a smile.

Kai looked at the haggard old man, his shoulders trembling slightly.

His hand hung down, as if his whole body had been deprived of strength, so the piece of paper broke away from the man's hand and fell to the ground, and Kai looked at the piece of paper lying on the ground and saw the line of writing on it.

――――

When he opened his eyes again, it was pitch black in front of him, only a faint light of the light, Kai could vaguely discern that there was a stone wall blocking it, and he was glad that he had not fainted and would never wake up again.

Then he thought about this serious problem, grandpa wanted the lives of several of them, although he survived, it didn't mean that everyone was the same!

Kai immediately got up from the ground, and before he could shout in a panic, he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Wake up. "The sound of the bell.

Kai remained lying on the ground, turned around in a daze, and saw that he was in a small closed space, with stone walls on the left and right sides and behind him, and a row of railings in front of him, which surrounded the place into a prison.

There were cave-style oil lamps hanging on the walls, and for Kai, the four people who couldn't be close anymore seemed to be fine when they sat in different positions in the cell.

"It's good that they're all alive. Kai breathed a sigh of relief, and his body was immediately attacked by exhaustion again, and he lay back on the ground, looking at the stone wall above his head.

"Originally, I thought that a few of us might not be able to sleep for a while. Lin looked at the hand and said, he opened and closed his five fingers, confirming the remaining strength in his body, fortunately, not very weak.

"The old man said it was a toxin, but I didn't feel sick somewhere," Lyle said, "and we should, just faint." ”

"There's no lethal poison, it's just that it has the same properties as a poison attack," Lin thought for a moment, "just to make us faint and be locked up in such a hellish place." ”

He looked around, knocking on the stone walls around him, which were not man-made walls, but more like natural mountain walls.

And Kai was thinking at this moment, why didn't that person kill them all, and it was his purpose to distinguish the lives of several of them.

"What are you thinking?" asked Lyle, looking at Kai, who was lying on the side without saying a word.

"Think a lot, think of an answer, or a knot," Kai put his arms behind his head and pillowed it, "but my stupid brain, I really can't figure it out, I feel like it's already a dead knot." ”

"Is there anything about your grandfather," Suzuya leaned closer to the two of them, "I've never heard you say it, is it something you don't want to mention, although I think it's understandable after the encounter." ”

"And he also said, "Your mother ......," Lin said, suddenly realizing his mistake and immediately stopped.

Kai looked at his friends around him, was silent for a few seconds, and then took a deep breath and told everything about his grandfather Jonah.

――――――

"I'm surprised to hear this," Kai finished speaking, and smiled bitterly, "I think it's incredible that I have such a strange family relationship. ”

"That's why at that time, you accepted your grandfather's proposal, a one-on-one duel, and you wanted to tell your grandfather what you thought through your fists. Lin said.

"Yes, I really don't have anything else to use to convey my heart except my fists, and when facing that person," Kai shook his hands into fists and looked at the fists, "but in fact, when it comes to conveying ideas, I myself have begun to understand my own thoughts, and I can't even sort out what I can't figure out, how can I convey the past." ”

"That kind of thing, it doesn't exist. Lyle patted Kai on the shoulder and said suddenly.

"Why?"

"Because I used to be the same as you, so I know all too well about things like this," said Lyle, "of course, there are many things that humans may not really be able to figure out, but you do have a clear determination now, don't you, or you wouldn't even be throwing your fist at your grandfather in that heavy rain." ”

"My dad said that," Kai recalled, "and he said that human beings are like this, and that there are things that you can never get a definitive answer to, and I didn't understand it then, but now I can understand that feeling," he sat up, leaned against the wall, and exhaled, "but at least, at that time, my dad had given me his answer, and he said that for my grandfather, he hated him and loved him." ”

"But I can't think of it......" Kai covered his face, burying his fingers in his hair.

"I don't think what he said before and after is a thing," Lyle thought for a moment, "what he got was not the answer to the matter itself, but his own understanding of it, and perhaps whether this understanding really echoed the correct answer, none of us can know, but as long as you believe and identify what you think in your own heart, it is already possible." ”

The other three people just listened silently, for this kind of thing, only the two of them imagined it so much, the radio waves coincided, they didn't get in the way of inserting it at the moment, but it was a better choice, and Suzu already believed in his heart that Lyle could help Kai untie this knot, so there was no need to say more.

"Except for the bell, among the three of you, the first person I came into contact with was you, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was you that I didn't know the most," Lyle said, "I have an older brother, after the death of my father, mother and sister, we fell into a state of extreme coldness, and we haven't spoken a few words for many years, but my brother does have me in his heart, but he is just using an extreme way to silently protect our family, the last part." ”

"And I was timid, I didn't dare to face my brother, I didn't dare to look directly at his ice-like face, so I misled myself, the relationship between the two of us can never go back to the past, but in fact, that is wrong, in this world, there is no knot that cannot be untied," Lyle continued, "It's just that I didn't look directly into my own heart, and when I finally made up my mind, everything began to change." ”

"And Kai, you have already come to your senses, much stronger than me. Lyle patted Kai on the shoulder again.

"What is the relationship between you and your brother now?" asked Lyle as he fumbled in his pocket.

"It's okay," Lyle shrugged, "and we agreed that the next time I go back, we'll have a cup of tea and have a good chat." ”

"yes, that sounds good. Kai said, taking out a small notebook, and a piece of paper fell out of it.

"What is this?" Lyle reached for the piece of paper, revealing that it was an old faded photograph.

"Probably, that's the answer and the thought in my heart," Kai said as he looked at the photo and shook his head with a wry smile, "I almost forgot that there was this thing, in fact, I just wanted to show it to my grandfather, but I lost my cool because I was suddenly told about my mother." ”

"I really still want to go to grandpa again," Kai tucked the photo in his notebook and stuffed it into his pocket, "This time, I have to calm down and say everything I want to say." Although I don't want it, he will invite me to tea. ”

"If you want tea, we can drink it together," said Lyle, "and I have someone I want to see again, and so do you, and we'll go this together." ”

Lyle stretched out his fist, and Kai also stretched out his fist, and the two of them touched lightly.

――――――

"Then again, where the hell is this?" Xiao Fan asked suddenly.

"Underground, maybe it's inside a cave," Suzu said, "and there's a cell built here." ”

"It's a prison cell, but it doesn't seem to be used to lock people up," Lin pushed his glasses, took out a box, and used the faint magic to make it release a soft white light, and the small space suddenly brightened, and it also illuminated all the corners, "Look at these." He held the glowing box and walked to a corner.

It was a metal ring the size of a plate, chained to the inside of the stone wall, and there were even sharp barbs inside the ring, the spikes were the size of a little finger, Lin carefully poked out a finger and touched the top of the spike, and the fingertips suddenly burst out of the blood column, the thorns were very sharp.

"What is this, torture instrument?" Lyle saw the same thing elsewhere, even on the stone wall, in this small space, there were three of these strange objects in total, "Put it on the neck of a person to cut off the body?" he picked up one of them and placed it in front of the chamber to gestur, "but it felt a little too big." ”

"If it's a torture instrument, there aren't too many blood stains on the floor and walls, which is unreasonable," Lin said, "and it looks more like a collar." ”

"Who's still with thorns in the collar," Suzu also carried a preferably one ring, but still a little resistant to this kind of thing in his heart, "Is this a dog? ”

Xiao Fan didn't have the courage to touch these things, and he always felt that they were very dark objects, which made people feel a sense of psychological resistance.

"So, why is there such a thing in this place?" she asked.

"This size ......" Lin stared at the ring, thinking, "You two, do you think it might be ......?"

"It's used to suppress those beasts," Lyle said Lin's conjecture, "Indeed, if it's that particular beast, its muscles are as hard as stone, and its self-healing power is also very high, even if it is put on such a collar, it is not enough to kill you." ”

"And these tips can also be used to apply medicine and bring them into the bodies of those beasts," Lin added, "and it is really good to manage the monsters that are killing." ”

"Why are you so skilled at analyzing this thing," Suzu stuck out her tongue and threw away her collar, "but in that case, this is the place where the beasts are kept in captivity." ”

"This is the inside of the back mountain," Lyle said suddenly, "and since I woke up, I have gradually felt that the blood in my body has an itchy and restless feeling. ”

"How many of us, how long have we been unconscious?" Suzu suddenly jumped up from the ground as if she remembered something, "What time is it?"

Xiao Fan touched his pocket and was pleasantly surprised to find that the phone was still on his body, and there was still a residual battery.

"It's ten forty o'clock in the evening, if it's the date," Xiao Fan looked at the clock on the screen, "We were in a coma all day, and when we were in the playground, it was already yesterday." ”

"This is the third day," Lyle's eyes widened, his expression grim, "The time for the seal to be strengthened is at twelve o'clock at midnight today, in other words, I only have eighty minutes. ”
