Chapter 1: A Broken Book

Next Chapter

The first night was quiet, people did not sleep, "a quiet and peaceful", the ticking, ticking drizzle slowly fell from the night sky, and the dance music of the night blocked the whole world, the trivial and trivial night talk of the insects in the field came to an abrupt end, and the flickering candlelight in the room with the raging cold wind became flickering and dimming......

On the top of the bed, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other, the old man was in his seventies, wearing a thick cotton jacket, but still could not hide his bony body, his eyes were dull, his speech was indistinct, and he was terminally ill.

And the little boy is eleven or twelve years old when he is young, not only is he handsome, but also smart and active, but he is a little bit of a reason to admit death.

The old man slapped the quilt from time to time, clenched his fists from time to time, gritted his teeth from time to time, and kept saying something to the little boy, but the little boy had no other reaction, just listlessly took a broken book and flipped through it a few times, and the old man yelled at the little boy in a hurry.

"You, you, you! Do you listen, child?"

"I-I!

"Alas, what age is Grandpa? You still teach me this, I really don't understand you, what's so good about this broken book? What is the immortal inheritance? Seal reincarnation? Create the future? This is nonsense! I can't see a flower every day? I'm speechless, I'm asleep, grandpa, you continue...... I lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over my head, and pretended to snore and fell asleep.

The old man shook his head helplessly, and sighed to himself, "Children think that grandpa is terminally ill, has been insane, and always likes to talk nonsense, but do you know what my expression was when I got this book, and how can I believe it?"

"Yes, I don't believe it, how could I believe it?"

"No, no, no!

"No, no!

"I'm so hungry! I don't think I have eaten in a year. Brother, get up quickly, let's go catch the fish...... "Lots of fish......"

It was raining and raining outside the house all night, and it was even more rainy and rainy inside......

The next day, as soon as a light came out of the sky, I sat up as if fleeing for my life, dressed like a whirlwind, and rushed to another room with my trousers and shoes in hand.

There is a middle-aged couple living in this room, both of them have gotten up at this time, the woman is tidying up the cover, and the man is sitting on the edge of the bed with a cigarette in his mouth and inhaling non-stop, his eyes are hanging straight on the TV.

"Hey! Taowa is eye-opening again today, so early to get up, your mother hasn't come to cook in a hurry!"

"Oh, Daddy, I really can't stand it, don't you know? Grandpa, he was singing a one-man show again last night...... ," I said indignantly.

"I know, but the old man asks you to sleep with him by name! You also know that grandpa has a body, and time is short, so you just take him easy, let him, and listen to him in everything? You see that you can't do this at all, and you are still so stubborn! It really chills my father's heart. ”

"Hmph, Dad, let you say anything, anyway, I just won't listen, I can't say anything this time, and I didn't say anything about me?"

"Didn't take it?"

"Then who didn't read any books last year, and eloped with two female dolls? The old man didn't discuss this matter with me, you can do it yourself!" Dad laughed strangely.

"Last year's incident, that incident!"

"Dad, I can't discuss with you, so I'll go to grandma and let grandma clean you up," I felt weak for a while, and I couldn't tell how to turn around and flee.

"yes! the little fart baby has learned to sue, you run, you run there......" Dad seemed to see the little Jiujiu in my heart, and stood up but was still a step late.

"Grandma, grandma...... Help!" Dad was going to beat me, and I ran away with my pants and bare feet like a wild horse.

In this way, under the strong appearance of my grandmother in the first battle, my father was defeated, and I won a phased victory.

The following days finally had a quiet night, and even during the day, he always carried his grandfather on his back, fled far away, and never saw anyone for a day.

One morning, at about five or six o'clock, when the heavens and the earth were still shrouded in boundless darkness, I was awakened by a crying voice.

"What's the matter with Mom? You say, you said Grandpa he's gone, no, no, no! Mom, that's not true, tell me it's not true?"

Tears slid down from the corners of my eyes, but I couldn't hold back my tears.

"Taowa, can you take it out to deceive people? Why don't you go and see your grandfather?" ”

I stumbled out of the door, it was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see the road at all.

I didn't care about running to my grandfather's house, pop! A stone tripped me to the ground, my hands rubbed a small hole in the rubble, gritted my teeth and endured the severe pain, I stood up, and walked to meet the light of my grandfather's house.

Before I arrived at my grandfather's house, I saw a room full of people, and my father walked out with his head buried in firecrackers, passing by me, but he didn't pay attention to my dark red bloodshot hands.

Grandpa's body was laid in the living room, covered with a thin blue cloth, and his face was covered with a handkerchief, and I could no longer see his face, and his "terrible nagging" could not be heard!

"Grandpa, come back, I want you back, I'm obedient, I'm really obedient, I'll listen to you, wake up, wake up! Wow, woo, woo......" I finally let out my cry.

After a while, the sound of crackling, crackling, crackling firecrackers resounded throughout the night sky, and many people were awakened in their sleep, opened the door and looked in the direction of my house, muttering to themselves: "What are you firing in the middle of the night? This old man has only been suffering from this cancer for a month......! Alas! I will go to sleep again, and I will have to help tomorrow." ”
