Chapter 0073: It's Too Late to Atone

"Second master, can you tell me how you met Grandpa Guan?" Xu Le and the second grandfather walked slowly!

After being silent for a while, the second grandfather said:

"This said more than 40 years ago, at that time it was just liberated for less than two years, I had a year to play in this ditch, I don't know what happened I got lost, and then I ran into a few wolf cubs, it was half a dark time, scared me to run, I don't know where to roll, those wolf cubs also chased over, about to bite me, at this time Brother Guan appeared, he took a steel fork, and beat those wolf cubs away, since then we have been in contact, I was quite speculative with him, and then we worshiped the brothersAt that time, your father was not born for a few years, your grandfather is still there, and I have seen Brother Guan a few times, at that time, Brother Guan often went down to drink, hey, this time it has been more than 40 years, I, just with the little sister, it will be good to come and go, and when it comes to five, five, five or six years, that era, hey, I won't say it, it's all my fault", the second grandfather said and said, and he was almost there, and his eyes were red again!

Then he didn't speak again, Xu Le just walked slowly anyway, don't be too excited, after all, the old man is old, and it's really not good if something happens outside!

After walking for more than half an hour, Miao Miao and Qing Ning were waiting in front!

The second grandfather suddenly said to Xu Le: "Xiaole, don't let the second grandfather's mistake repeat itself, man, sometimes you can't go back, this retreat is often a lifetime, this heart can't get by"!

The second grandfather is also a bright-eyed person, and he can see that Xu Le may have his own difficulties, and these two daughters are very good to Xu Le, but it seems that Xu Le is not like that! And if something really happens, it won't be two of them, either a gang or one!

"Xu Le, how did you come up with the idea of writing that article?" This Miao Miao is a workaholic!

"I didn't think about it that much, I just had a little bit of that feeling after reading it, so I wrote it out, and then handed it over to Editor-in-Chief Ma, who knew it would be like this"!

"And a fancy name"! Xu Le sighed, "I was originally a very serious cultural deduction based on archaeology, and finally it became a mythological novel, how can I do external research in the future, people say that this is the person who writes mystery novels, hey"!

This is really not Xu Le's original intention, is this how history has been tampered with?

Could it be that this is the nihilism and dissolution of history, some intentional, some unintentional!

"Xu Le, Xiaobai is really too smart", Qing Ning said happily, it's really hard to imagine that this is a dog, except for not being able to speak, he can understand everything!

"Yes, if you are with someone like that, you will understand everything", Xu Le said in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the old way again!

Turning the corner, I saw four people and a dog waiting at a fork in the road!

When Xu Le arrived, he looked at it, and then ran to a mountain bag next to him to look down, and then went to the right, and went down the next path, the road was narrower, and he could only go in alone, otherwise he would be stuck by the branches sticking out!

Xu Le and the second grandfather walked in front!

The last is Xiao Liang, in front of him is Zhao Jinhuan, occasionally Xiao Liang uses his own hand to reach Zhao Jinhuan's hand, in the end, Zhao Jinhuan was held tightly by Xiao Liang as if he pretended not to know, both of them were red, their hearts were beating, Xiao Liang's palms were sweating, Zhao Jinhuan was the same, and then he held it tighter and tighter, for fear of losing it!

Xiao Liang wanted to step forward side by side, and was just about to step forward to put his hand on Zhao Jinhuan's waist, Zhao Jinhuan pinched his hand fiercely, and whispered: "In three years, you must learn two foreign languages and be admitted to graduate school, otherwise you are not allowed to touch me"!

"What"? Xiao Liang shouted out, and the people in front of him all looked back at them, making these two people look like thieves, and they all spread their hands away, and their faces were red!

Then he continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, Huo Qingning felt very abnormal in his heart, and Miao Miao was too!

Xiaoliang whispered next to Zhao Jinhuan's ear, "Sister Jinhuan, will I be able to follow you when I am admitted to graduate school in three years?"

"Go and go, what are you thinking"! Zhao Jinhuan's face was flushed and said shyly!

"I will definitely be admitted, don't worry, I will definitely let you know that your Zhao Jinhuan's man is the best"!

"Okay, don't talk about it later, I'll see your performance before I decide"

"Okay, let's make up our minds, you wait"!

"Hey, don't you look young and beautiful again!" Zhao Jinhuan knows that after all, he is three years older than Xiaoliang, although the female junior holds the gold brick, but who can say it clearly in this society, the change is too happy, especially in the flower world in the city!

"Sister Jinhuan, if I change my mind in the future, I will die in this deep ravine"! Xiao Liang said fiercely.

"Bah, what nonsense, don't say that in the future," Jinhuan said anxiously.

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you, don't worry"!

Xu Le saw the Bagua Forest over there in front of him, and he contacted the forest of Bagua Bu and carried them through.

When walking through the middle of this forest, others didn't pay attention, Huo Qingning kept staring at the hard ground under his feet, it was already solidified, and look at the bark in the middle of many trees in this wood, this is all the rhythm of artificial beating, she even stepped down hard, paused twice, it hurt a little, Bangbang's voice, everyone looked at him, Xu Le and the second grandfather didn't look back, Xu Le knew what Huo Qingning was doing!

Xiao Bai has always been next to Xu Le, and after walking forward for two minutes, he saw a stone house, Xiao Bai jumped out, ran towards the courtyard, and shouted over there!

A voice came from inside: "Isn't this Xiaobai"? It's a man's old man's voice, and it's loud!

"Yes, that old way is here again, didn't you just leave two days ago"? The voice of an elderly woman.

The little white stood at the door and shouted inside, and he didn't go in.

"Let's go, go out and have a look"! Grandpa Guan and Grandma Guan got up and walked out, and as soon as they got out of the gate, they saw six or seven people not far away, there seemed to be an old man in front, and some young people in the back, the old man was stunned when he saw Grandpa Guan!

Everyone stopped, Xiaobai stopped screaming, just stood by and watched!

The old woman suddenly yelled at the second grandfather: "You go for me, you go for me, I don't want to see you again"!

The second grandfather suddenly knelt down at Grandpa Guan and Grandma Guan, crying bitterly, "Big brother, sister-in-law, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for my little sister"!

All of a sudden, the tears couldn't be stopped, and Grandpa Guan and Grandma Guan were also in tears in an instant!

"Little sister, that Zhang Hanwen has no conscience to see that you are here"! Grandma Guan is crying and scolding!

Xu Le hurriedly pulled the second grandfather up, but the second grandfather couldn't get up!

After a while, Grandpa Guan took a breath and said to the second grandfather: "Second brother, get up, you are here after all, it's good to come", and then Grandpa Guan hurriedly stepped forward to help the second grandfather up, pulled the second grandfather up, and dragged him to the courtyard!

Xu Le walked up to Grandma Guan and helped Grandma Guan, Grandma Guan stopped crying, patted Xu Le, and walked to the courtyard!

When I arrived in the courtyard, it was cleaned very clean, Xu Le helped Grandma Guan take a few low stools out, and everyone sat down!

Xu Le put down the schoolbag first, and Xiaobai looked at the schoolbag and sat in front of him!

"Grandma, aren't you happy that we're here?" Xu Le said with a smile.

"Who said that I am happy that you came by yourself, and I am even happier that you brought so many people, who are you?"

"Grandma, this is my sister Xu Yi, call grandma"! Xu Le said.

"Hello Grandma"! Xiaoyi is very well-behaved!

"Good, good"!

"These two are my classmates and friends, this one is called Tian Miaomiao, and this one is Huo Qingning"!

The two immediately stood up and shouted "Hello Grandma"!

When he heard the introduction of Huo Qingning, Grandpa Guan glanced at her twice!

"What about this girl, it's the granddaughter of my second grandfather's brother's family, her name is Zhang Liya, and this man's is my second grandfather's grandson Zhang Ziliang, they are brothers and sisters, what about this girl, her name is Zhao Jinhuan, and she is Zhang Ziliang's girlfriend, right?"

The three of them quickly stood up and shouted at Grandma Guan, "Hello grandma"!

"Okay, okay, girlfriend is girlfriend, why add one"! The old lady was a little upset!

"Yes, yes, that's what you say, it's girlfriend"!

"Haha", everyone laughed, Zhao Jinhuan and Zhang Ziliang's blushing root monkey burned his buttocks!

"Have you all eaten, come over here", more than two o'clock, it is indeed inappropriate to be right!

"Grandma, I, I didn't get home until more than ten o'clock in the morning, I took a shower when I got home, and then I went directly to my second grandfather, isn't it too hungry, we ate first, my second grandfather didn't eat, he couldn't eat anymore, he didn't eat"!

"He didn't care about me, starved to death this old thing, why didn't he starve to death when there was a famine at that time", the old lady spoke very hard!

The second grandfather just kept his head down, and his tears were falling!

Xiaoliang and Xiaoya sounded very uncomfortable, but they didn't know what was going on, so they didn't dare to refute it!

"Grandma, do you have a place to live at night"? Xu Le asked with a smile.

"Yes, you're going to stay here at night, right?" When the old lady heard this, she stood up and looked very happy!

Old man, it's all like this, I'm happy when I see a child, don't care if it's my own or not, this old couple hasn't seen anyone for a long time, and even their own children rarely come over, and their grandchildren and nieces and nephews are even less!

"We're staying here tonight, there's a condition!" Xu Le said with a smile!

"As long as you don't intercede for this old thing, anything will be done"! The old lady is very hard!

"My second master's business is his own business, I don't care, I just have one condition, we live here today, then you and my grandfather Guan have to go to our house to live for two days, if you agree, we will live here", Xu Le smiled brightly!

Grandma Guan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, this kid is afraid that his old couple will be lonely, they have been over for so many years, hey! What a sweet man!

"Okay, okay, when I look at you, you're a person with a conscience, much better than some people"!

Then he said to the second grandfather, "There are still two stickers in the pot, what's the matter, I have to invite you, old thing"!

Xu Le glanced at Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi quickly stood up and walked towards the pot table in the house, lifted the lid of the wooden pot, and took out a pastry for the second grandfather, the second grandfather didn't speak, he was gnawing on the paste, how sad it was!

"Come, I'll tell you a story", grandma sat next to Grandpa Guan!

A group of people listened attentively to Grandma Guan's story, the story told by Grandma Guan was the story of the second grandfather and Guan Xiaomei, I didn't care at first, and then I heard Guan Xiaomei sitting on the Great Wall every day looking at the south, and I didn't know what the situation was crying every day, I heard the news from the south that the person had gone out, I was afraid that my composition was not good and delayed the girl, so I left, the girl finally cried blind, I didn't know how much blood I shed on the soles of my shoes, all the girls cried very much, Zhang Ziliang later also cried, Zhao Jinhuan cried and lay in Xiaoliang's arms!

The second grandfather was nibbling on the corn tortilla while shedding tears, although Grandma Guan didn't mention the man's name, but everyone knew that it was the second grandfather, no wonder the sister-in-law was so angry, no one would do it!

Grandpa Guan was smoking a dry tobacco pouch, and he was also in tears, only Xu Le kept raising his head, looking up at the sky, full of tears and didn't know what to think, Xiaobai kept his head leaning on Xu Le's body, as if he also sounded like tears, tears fell from his eyes to his mouth, Xu Le wiped it!

"Later, we heard that dog thing said that it was married, and there was no more contact, you said, can I be angry in my heart"? Grandma Guan spoke out and was in a much better mood!

After a few moments, everyone slowly calmed down, Xiaoliang kept hugging Zhao Jinhuan and patting her back, for fear that she would cry and faint!

In the end, everyone was silent, Xiao Liang and Zhao Jinhuan sat closer, holding hands all the time, their faces were not red, they looked more determined, and they would never let go!

Xu Le stood up!

said to these young people: "I won't say anything, you all know who this man is talking about"!

He paused for a moment and then said, "Why did I bring you here, the second grandfather also agreed, he knew that this was a shameful thing, but we are juniors and can't say anything about the elders, whether the second grandpa is at fault or not, it is right to be sure, but this is caused by the special circumstances of that era, and many of them are helpless!" In fact, the second grandfather's starting point is good intentions, for fear of delaying the little sister and grandmother, but the kindness he thinks is just what he thinks, he shouldn't not discuss with Grandpa Guan, Grandma Guan and Little Sister Grandma in the name of his "love"! However, I still hope that everyone understands, and I must respect the second grandfather even more, how many years has he been carrying, nearly forty years of psychological baggage, a person has come over like this all day long, there is no one to talk to, as soon as he gets home, it is a cold quilt, he has never told anyone, he is not bitter, he is uncomfortable or not, can you do it, isn't he atoning for his little sister and grandmother"?

Xu Le said this to everyone clearly, but secretly to Grandma Guan, no matter what, he had to get the words back!

"Why are you here today, you still call us to come, the second master just doesn't want his tragedy to happen again, so you must pay attention, I'll tell you again, this is the matter of the old generation, just say it in this courtyard today and listen to it in this courtyard, if you go out, let me know what rumors are outside, don't let me know who said it, otherwise I tell you, no matter who it is, I will make him have a hard time for the rest of his life"!

Xu Le said it very ruthlessly!

Everyone nodded, everyone knows that this is not a good thing, sometimes the words are not good, and the back of the backbone will be poked to death!

Grandpa Guan nodded!

"Sister-in-law, I want to go and add two pieces of paper to my little sister"! The second grandfather stood up, and everyone stood up!

Grandma Guan didn't speak, went to the back room, and took out a bundle of burning paper, Xiaoliang wanted to get it, but the second master didn't let him take it!

Then Grandma Guan and Grandpa Guan walked in front, and everyone followed behind!

After a while, I arrived at the bottom of the back mountain, there are three graves, the most right is Guan Xiaomei's grave, which reads "Guan Xiaomei's Tomb"!

As soon as the second grandfather saw this tombstone, he hugged it and cried bitterly, and everyone didn't know what he was talking about! Grandpa Guan and Grandma Guan were also crying, and those girls cried loudly when they thought of Guan Xiaomei's tragic fate!

After waiting for a long time, Grandpa Guan stepped forward and pulled the second grandfather to let him up, but he still didn't let go, and then he was forcibly pulled up!

"Hey, second brother, you have everything when you come, don't talk about the rest, it's all seventy or eighty people, no, it's useless to say anything, you've been here for so many years, this is worthy of the little sister"!

"Don't let the juniors look uncomfortable too"!

"Well, big brother, I know, I listen to you", the second master said intermittently!

In the end, he found two stones and put a few more pieces of paper on top of Xu Le's pressed paper! Then he sprinkled the soil with his hand, and then patted it tightly!

Then he drew a circle in front of the grave, wrote the name of "Guan Xiaomei", lit the burning paper, put it in one by one, and then threw out two more, with words in his mouth!

Xu Le asked everyone to gather and form a big circle, there is a mountain wind here, and it will be a big deal if there is a fire outside, which is actually a violation of the regulations, but there is no way, these forty years of guilt!

Everyone doesn't feel hot, they are all around there, sobbing while surrounding, it's really touching, what does a woman have to do for a man, in that era, there was a lot of helplessness!

But no matter what, you have to ask, if people are willing, you just say that you are kind but you have pitted them!

"Big brother, sister-in-law, Xiaole, you go back first, I want to accompany my little sister alone!" The second grandfather said!

Grandpa Guan wanted to persuade the second grandfather, Xu Le pulled him, Grandpa Guan understood, Xu Le gestured to everyone and walked back, and then let the second grandfather look at the corner of the main house from time to time Don't do anything, Xiaoliang understood that he stopped, Zhao Jinhuan also stopped, and kept holding Xiaoliang's hand!

Everyone else is back in the yard!

"Xiaole, you stay first, talk to your grandfather Guan for a while, what about me, go clean up the house, at night, I will live with these girls in the main room, these two old things sleep in the quilt room, you and the boy will sleep in the south wing"! Grandma Guan said.

"Okay, it's all up to you, Xiaoyi, you follow grandma to clean up"!

"Okay", Xiaoyi stood up, Xiaoya, Miao Miao, and Qingning also stood up and followed into the house!

"Xiaole, grandpa thank you"! Grandpa Guan is really excited!

"Grandpa Guan, don't say that, this is what I should do, if I don't do this, I won't be able to get over it for the rest of my life, is that still a human being?"

"Well, isn't this Xiaobai, what about that old way"? Grandpa Guan has always had a question, why did this Xiaobai follow Xu Le, as long as he came over before, Lao Dao brought Xiaobai over, he was familiar with it!

Xu Le's eyes moistened, looked up at the sky, and said slowly, "He has gone to the sky"!

"What"? Grandpa Guan didn't understand it for a while, "Heaven is up"?

Then he suddenly seemed to understand, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Why did you say that you just left, did you come to say hello to me two days ago?"

"Oops"!

Xiaobai whined and cried again!

Grandpa Guan touched Xiaobai's head, Xu Le wiped Xiaobai's tears again, and said to Xiaobai: "If there is a fate, we will see you again, if there is no fate, then we will shoot it and scatter", and then patted its head, Xiaobai cried even more, constantly pushing Xu Le's thighs! Xu Le held Xiaobai's head and kept rubbing its back!

"Good people, good people"! Grandpa Guan kept repeating!

After a while, he looked at Xu Le, "I feel that you are stronger than the previous two days, and you are almost past that hurdle, you will catch up with me when you take this step!"

Xu Le's tears fell!

"Old Taoist me"!

"Well, okay, then don't let down his kindness and treat the world well"!

"Well, Grandpa Guan, I will, don't worry"!

"You're a good boy, I believe in you, I don't have anything to think about now, I have to give it a try, see if there's a chance to rush again, leave me something when I leave, there's a pill that says it might help me, or I'll give it to you?"

"No way"! When Xu Le heard this, he stood up suddenly!

"Grandpa Guan, don't say that, you can't even kill me, I also want you to work harder, if you rush over, you can still live in the world for a while longer, and you can still protect me when the time comes, right?"

Grandpa Guan laughed, "You have it, I will protect you, and then I won't pull your hind legs, by the way, does that girl know that you can box?"

Xu Le shook his head!

"Oh okay, I got it"! Grandpa Guan looked at Xu Le very mysteriously, "This girl's origin is not simple"!

Xu Le didn't have any intentions, so he didn't say anything about it!

"Grandpa Guan, my second grandfather is here to atone for his sins, what should you say at night, don't hold it in your heart, otherwise he still can't get over this hurdle, in addition, we will leave tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, if my second grandfather wants to stay for two more days, let him stay here for two days by himself, if you are free, you will go down to live together for two days, I will have to go back to the city the day after tomorrow, and then there will be fewer opportunities, you and Grandma Guan don't complain about me"!

"You kid, okay, I know, let the second child stay with me for a few more days, if you are free, I will also go down to live for two days, you should be busy with you, it's you, don't work hard, you have to take the right path, you know"?

"Hmmm"!
