Chapter 4: The Time to Return to the Light 1

readx;? Finally, I spotted an owl on the shady side of the tree, and immediately used my arms to pull out the slingshot and aim carefully. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The beads are one centimeter in diameter and, when launched, penetrate the three layers of fiberboard that are put together within 20 meters. Not to mention an owl, even if it is a strong adult, if you take such a blow on your face, your skin and flesh will bloom, and your bones will be broken.

The people of Jinan generally have a respectful attitude towards owls, and rarely take the initiative to provoke them.

Tonight I was just overly resentful and couldn't get along with them.

"What time is it?"

Just as I was about to launch, someone behind me suddenly spoke, and my arm trembled, and the glass beads flew directly into the night sky.

"What time is it?" the voice asked again.

I jerked around, and my grandfather was already sitting up in the hospital bed, staring straight at me.

"You-grandpa, are you awake? God...... It's still early, you can sleep a little longer. I replied without saying a word.

"How many times has the night owl barked?" asked Grandpa again.

"What?" I didn't think about it, and I didn't know what it meant.

With a snap, Grandpa slapped his hands heavily on the bedside table: "Evil obstacles, something that is not worth beating! How many times has the night owl called? How many times has it called?"

Grandpa has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for more than ten years, and he is confused and stunned all day long, and I have never seen him say a word seriously, let alone get angry and scold.

I looked back out the window and replied vaguely, "It seems to be a ...... It's already been twice. ”

Counting the first time I woke up from a half-dream, plus this time, it should have been twice.

Grandpa suddenly gasped, slapped his hands on the bedside table again, and sighed loudly: "Twice, twice, again--the king of Hades urged the third watch to die, who dares to keep people until the fifth watch? It seems that it is my Xia Jiuxiang's qi that has been exhausted! It is my Xia clan's qi that has been exhausted! It's really sad, it's sad-"

When I heard my grandfather mention the name "Xia Jiuxiang", I immediately became overjoyed: "Grandpa, are you cured?

Since his illness, Grandpa has long forgotten his name. On several occasions, tourists passing by on Qushuiting Street talked to him, but he couldn't even answer what his last name was.

"Of course I remember. Grandpa's thin eyebrows twisted into an abrupt pimple.

"Master-" I had just opened my mouth to call him, but I only said one word, but I was interrupted by his gesture of slashing his palm hard.

"Don't talk, listen, listen!" he said.

I nodded quickly and stepped over to the edge of the bed and sat down.

"Chairman Han is dead, but the dispute is not over. The Japanese are still on the move, from the south to the north, from the mainland to Japan, and they will never die. Japan is a small island country, earthquakes are frequent, and the people know that one day the islands will fall apart and slide into the deep sea, so their only goal in life is to land on the mainland, and they must occupy a territory on the Asian continent or the American continent, so as to abandon the sea and land. You must remember that Han Dashuai is nothing more than a fish float floating on the water, and the fish float jumping up and down is a superficial phenomenon, and the real battle takes place below the surface of the water. Grandpa took a breath and turned back to get the water glass on the bedside table.

The name "Chairman Han" may be difficult for people in other cities to understand, but anyone in old Jinan who mentions this name understands who it refers to.

Of course, Chairman Han died, and he died in Nanjing in the second year after the Japanese devils went south, and he died a disgraceless death with the infamy of the century of "abandoning the city and fleeing, and collapsing itself without a fight."

In fact, in the eyes of the people of Jinan, Chairman Han is a good handsome talent, in the era of warlord melee, he has benefited the people of Jinan and even Shandong a lot, and he can be regarded as a clean official in the turbid world.

Grandpa also mentioned the Japanese, and I naturally understood that he was referring to the "assassination of Korea" operation in Jinan when the Japanese Kwantung Army Special Forces sent top spies to lurk in Jinan.

These stories are recorded in the Shandong Historical Records, and one of them left a deep impression on me, that is, Chairman Han personally shot the Japanese spy in front of the May Third Monument, which made the people of Jinan raise their eyebrows and sigh again.

However, having said that, now is the era of peace, Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations, a strip of water, whether the two countries are high-ranking officials above the temple or civilians far away from the rivers and lakes, have turned the page of the dire water, you live and die, young people as early as the end of the last century began to "Hari", for Japan's electrical appliances, animation rush, have long forgotten how the blood of the ancestors stained half of Daming Lake.

"To deal with robbers, you must either kill them all or die together, there is no third way. Stone, you remember, our Xia family is walking a road of no return, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we can only go down step by step. I'm going to die, you will be the only heir of the Xia family in the future, you must remember that robbers don't die, and they fight endlessly. Grandpa drank the whole glass of water in one go, and before he could put the cup, he told me in a hurry.

"I want to avenge my eldest brother, grandpa, tell me, how can I avenge my eldest brother?"

Indeed, as grandpa said, if he closed his eyes again, there was only one surnamed Xia, Xia Shi, left.

"We have bait, and the Japanese are fish, and as long as the 'Divine Mirror' is there, they automatically take the bait. If you don't look for them, they will come to you. Remember, the 'Divine Water Mirror' is a Chinese thing and must not be taken away by the Japanese. Chairman Han still has one thing in his hand, go to find it, you have to find it-the Son of Heaven...... The Son of Heaven bets to win chess...... Find it, that's what the imperial family must have...... Whoever finds it will be able to pay homage to the prime minister, seal the territory and tear the soil, and be a big man, a big man......" Grandpa cried hoarsely, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged out, like bare old tree roots on dry land.

All of our Xia family members have Chinese faces, but Grandpa's face is too thin, and it has become narrow and shriveled, like a badly worn mahjong tile.

The name "Son of Heaven Wins Chess" was the first time I had heard it, but in order to save my grandfather's time, I didn't dare to ask questions, but I tried to nod my head every time he listened to gasp, so that I had memorized every word he said.

"Chairman Han is a good person, my Xia family...... Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord and do things, but unfortunately people are not as good as the sky, the sky is not as good as the earth, and in the end, it is still a bad move. You, little stone, must always remember that palmistry and human appearance are born, but the appearance is born from the heart, the appearance determines the fate, and the fate can change the appearance...... This is a point of no return, but we only have the surname 'Xia', and we have decided to either be rich and rich, or cut off children and grandchildren...... "Grandpa's words became faster and faster, and the meaning became more and more obscure, which made me gradually confused.

I had to interrupt him: "Grandpa, where is the 'Divine Mirror'? What is it? What is it? Is the Son of Heaven betting to win chess? Is it a chess piece or a thing or a painting?"

Vaguely, I feel that the origin of our Xia family is not so simple, even if we are now living in a bad alley, with little food and clothing, there must be glorious moments in the past.

"It's chess, a fateful chess, something that the people of the Seven Kings Society are desperately trying to grab. Grandpa replied.

"What is the 'Society of the Seven Kings'?" the new name that appeared again puzzled me even more.

"Seven Kings Society?" Grandpa's Adam's apple choked up and down, and there was suddenly a light in his eyes that I had never seen before, "Only our Xia family can restrain the 'Seven Kings Society'." In front of our Xia family, what kind of thing is the 'Seven Kings Meeting'? Haha, hahahaha! Our Xia family, Qiankun is in hand, yin and yang are peeping, when looking at the wind and clouds, looking down at the world's veins...... Seven Kings, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin...... It's been 5,000 years, and with our Xia Zi as the head guard in Zhongzhou, can they turn the sky?

That kind of light is only possessed by a big man who "takes the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops", and grandpa is already in his last years, and he has never revealed his life experience before, so I can't help but be a little stunned when I see the light in his eyes.

"Hands, hands, your hands!" he held out his hands to me.

I was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was looking at my palm, and immediately sent both palms to his palm.

The strength of my grandfather's hands became extremely great, his right hand held my left hand, and his left hand held my right hand, and both hands tightened at the same time, making my metacarpal bones and phalanges creak horribly.

I thought he was going to see my palm prints, but instead of looking down, he pulled back and pressed my palms against his eye sockets.

"Hey, grandpa, what are you doing?" I was startled, and my palms and wrists were instantly broken to nearly ninety degrees, and my body was numb in pain.

I felt my grandfather's eyes open to the maximum, and his eyeballs protruded outwards and pressed against my palms.

After that, his eyes kept rolling at a constant speed, always the size of a fingernail, rolling slowly against my palm. It was as if my grandfather was using his eyes to "see" me palmistry.

I have shown myself palmistry countless times, sometimes against the old bookcase of palmistry, sometimes against the palmistry software on the computer.

Unfortunately, according to those information, my palmistry is very ordinary, with no potential to soar and flourish, nor the momentum of great wealth, just the appearance of ordinary people.

"Grandpa, I'...... I'm ashamed!" I wanted to withdraw my hand so as not to disappoint my grandfather, but he clenched it so tightly that I twitched it twice, but his palms didn't move.

There was a fluttering sound, and a bird suddenly fell from the windowsill on my left.

I turned my head and saw that it was a sturdy owl with thick claws.

Owls rarely approach humans on their own initiative, and their eyes are 100 times more visible at night than humans, but they cannot open their eyes at all under strong sunlight and lights, and their eyes are almost blind.

From my grandfather's words, I knew that the owl's cry was a rush to death, so I felt like a great enemy for its landing.
