"Grandpa, I'm carefree now. Don't look at Fang Yuxi is only five or six years old, but he is very sensible, standing beside his grandfather at this time, pulling the corner of his clothes and whispering: "Aren't you happy?"

Old Man Fang bent down lovingly and held him in his arms, "Grandpa is not unhappy, it's just that he is old and has not many children, so it is inevitable that he always thinks about the past." ”

Fang Yutong's heart was shocked, and he glanced at Lin Yifei, but saw that he was also looking towards him, and shook his head slightly.

Old Man Fang looked old and confused, but everything was clearly understood, "Yutong, don't think it's Yifei who said it, don't blame him, in fact, I already knew that if he hadn't saved me on the train, my old life would have been gone, besides, I'm old, I'm not confused, I still know a lot of things, even if I kick my legs now, I'm over seventy years old, although it's not a long life, but it can't be said to be an early death, do you still think grandpa is an old and immortal monster?"

Fang Yutong's face was a little pale, "Grandpa, what do you say, it's dead, how unlucky, Yuxi, come down, grandpa is tired enough to climb the mountain, and he still has to hug you." ”

Lin Yifei said with a smile: "Those who know are not confused, those who are benevolent are not worried, and those who are brave are not afraid, in fact, people will eventually die, as long as they die without regrets, that is enough." ”

The old man perked up, looked at Lin Yifei and said, "That's a good point." ”

Fang Yutong was shocked all over, and looked at Lin Yifei with some surprise, this kind of words came from Lin Yifei's mouth, it was inevitable that there was some feeling of standing and talking without back pain, but looking at what he said, although it was plain and bland, there was a kind of pride in his expression, but it was irrefutable.

"Those who know are not confused, those who are benevolent are not worried, and those who are brave are not afraid," Old Man Fang muttered: "But there are too many things in this world that we can't know, such as this waterfall." Stretching out his hand and pointing to the barren rock wall in front of him, there was no grass growing on it, "I remember when I was a child, the waterfall was so big, especially in summer, it was like a white dragon roaring downward, but the deep pool below was cold and biting, even if I could swim, I didn't dare to go down easily, I went down twice, but it only took a minute to climb up, and that feeling, as if the whole body was about to freeze into ice." ”

Lin Yifei's face remained unchanged, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, knowing that what the old man said was good.

"At the beginning, it was a good place for us to rest and play, and to escape the heat in the summer," Old Man Fang sighed: "It's a pity that it disappeared later, I clearly remember that I was thirteen years old that year." ”

"Why is it suddenly gone, dry up or earthquake?" Fang Yutong asked curiously, in fact, he just wanted his grandfather to take a break and not go anywhere else today.

"I remember vividly when the waterfall disappeared, partly because of a deep affection for it, and partly because your great-grandfather happened to pass away that year. ”

Fang Yutong didn't think anything, she didn't have any impression of her great-grandfather, and she rarely listened to her grandfather in advance, she only knew that her great-grandfather was a hunter, but Lin Yifei was in her heart, if Old Man Fang was only thirteen years old at that time, his father should be around fifty years old, maybe younger, then I'm afraid he didn't die of old age.

"How long did the old man live that year?" Lin Yifei still couldn't help asking.

Old Man Fang glanced at Lin Yifei and nodded slightly, knowing the meaning of Lin Yifei's inquiry, many times it is a happy thing to talk to smart people, because often as long as you make a start, they will understand a lot of things.

"Actually, what I still can't believe is whether my dad died at that time. "Because it would be more accurate to say that my father is not dead, but missing, and he was only in his early forties when he disappeared." ”

Fang Yutong was a little surprised, and didn't understand why grandpa never mentioned this matter, "Grandpa, have you told my dad about this matter, in fact, you just need to say it, with my dad's ability, ......" She glanced at Lin Yifei and said a little embarrassed: "My dad still has the ability to find it." ”

The girl is obviously not a person who likes to show off, and Old Man Fang is also very low-key, but Lin Yifei knows that their background is not as simple as ordinary people, because they go to every place, although they are not shocked, but the people in each place are polite to them, and they can be said to take care of everything, which is of course outside the scope of service, it can only be said that although Fang Yutong's father did not come forward, he has already taken care of everything.

Old Man Fang shook his head, "I can't find it, besides, it's been more than sixty years now, even if it was still there, now it's more than a hundred years old, how can it still be there, I wanted to find it in that year but didn't have the ability, at this time I had the ability, but I couldn't find it anymore." Although he knows that his son is not small now, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find a person who has been missing for decades in the vast sea of people.

Sighing slightly, the old man looked at the barren mountain wall in the distance, his old eyes were a little hazy, although it had been a long time, it was inevitable that he would still have some emotion when he mentioned it again.

Fang Yutong realized that there was still a story about his great-grandfather's death, and seeing that his grandfather had the meaning to continue, he asked softly: "How did great-grandfather disappear back then......?"

Old Man Fang smiled, "It doesn't matter, I actually told your father about this matter, but he probably hasn't told you, your father is very busy, in fact, I really want to persuade him, wouldn't it be better to spend more time with his family, he is also a person who is sixty years old, how to do anything still so persistent." ”

Fang Yutong laughed, "Then grandpa, why don't you persuade you?"

"I'm afraid to listen to what he said," Old Man Fang also laughed, with a childlike sly smile in his eyes, "Although I can't deny that what he said is right, but, hehe, don't say it, there are a lot of people here, and I'm afraid it will make him unhappy when it reaches his ears, isn't it, Yuxi?"

"I'm the most well-behaved, I don't talk nonsense. Yuxi said innocently.

"Yes, it's still my grandson who is the best. Old Man Fang patted the top of his head lovingly, "I'm tired too, let's find a place to rest." ”

Everyone nodded, and there was a gazebo not far away, where many people were sitting, a table and four chairs, just suitable for four people to rest.

Coming to the pavilion, Lin Yifei glanced around, and found that there were three people in straight suits sitting there not far away, talking about something in a low voice, and when he saw the four of them walking nearby and sitting down, he suddenly changed the topic, it was nothing more than that the scenery here was good, where to play next time.

There are also two tables that are noisy, one table talks about the whole world, showing his knowledge, and the other table talks about shopping and showing off his wealth.

Fang Yutong quickly cleaned up a table, which could only be described as a mess, "Really," Fang Yutong frowned and said, "I don't know how to take away the garbage after eating, and I don't know what to do with those studies I read." ”

An orange peel happened to fall from the table on the side, and the man didn't know what to do when he heard Fang Yutong's complaint, so he bent down to pick it up, put the orange peel in the plastic bag on the table, and continued to chat with his friends.

Fang Yutong couldn't help but glance at him, and found that he was dressed very neatly, in his thirties, and the table was as clean as a person, only one garbage bag was placed with leftovers, and he couldn't help but feel good, in contrast, the other two tables were not so polite, spitting and throwing things, without scruples, and there was a child about the same size as Yuxi who had already taken out the **, and peed in the wind, which caused a burst of praise from adults.

The four of them shook their heads and sat down, Fang Yuxi grimaced at that side and whispered, "Sister, I also want to urinate, can I be here?"

Fang Yutong glanced at him, "You dare to do this, see if I don't kill you." ”

Lin Yifei laughed, took Fang Yuxi to the toilet on the top of the mountain not far away to make it easier, and brought it back, this kung fu, Fang Yutong had already taken out food and water from his backpack and distributed it to everyone, although Yuxi was naughty, but under her sister's nose, she didn't dare to be presumptuous at all, and after eating something in a proper manner, she began to fiddle with the toys in her hand.

"Grandpa, if you are not tired, tell us some things about your great-grandfather, I haven't heard of it, I think Yifei seems to be interested. The girl winked at Lin Yifei, and Lin Yifei smiled: "I'm really interested, I don't need you to remind me." ”

Old Man Fang laughed out loud and said to Lin Yifei: "My granddaughter is actually good at everything, but she just likes to hide from me, an old man, to do some small actions, and I always have to cooperate and pretend not to know, it's really a bit hard, but fortunately, I met you as a young man, and this trip will not always be acting." ”

Fang Yutong blushed, glared at Lin Yifei fiercely, and then laughed again in an instant.

"It is said that that year was a disaster year, because the waterfall dried up not long ago, and it was said that the waterfall launched a war of aggression against China, bringing the people to the dire situation," the old man sighed: "Soon I began to leave my hometown, three years later I joined the army, and fought for a few more years before I drove the devil out of China, my childhood companions have passed away, and most of them died four or five years ago, or every time I return to my hometown, the old man says that the waterfall is a vision, a bad omen, that is a reminder from God." ”

"Nonsense, I think it's a very normal natural phenomenon for the waterfall to dry up without water," Fang Yutong was unambiguous in this regard, "Grandpa, you are superstitious again, don't bring Yuxi to ruin." ”

Old Man Fang smiled, "I just said what the old man said, I didn't say it, don't rely on me." ”

Lin Yifei just smiled, but was noncommittal.

"My great-grandfather also disappeared that year, I don't know if it was before the waterfall broke off, or after it stopped?" Fang Yutong suddenly asked.

Old Man Fang shook his head, "I'm not sure, he went out with a few people during the day that day, and he didn't return overnight, we were all scared, your great-grandmother and I searched for a night, there was no news, we didn't dare to go far, there were always wild beasts in the forest at that time, we only took a firewood knife, and the only shotgun was taken away by your great-grandfather, in case we met a wild beast, we couldn't protect ourselves, although your great-grandmother was worried about her husband's safety, she was even more afraid that something would happen to me." ”

"What happened later?" Although he already knew the result, Fang Yutong still asked.

"Later, we had to come back, that night, it was the direction of the waterfall, that is, the side of the mountain where we lived, there was a rumbling sound, it was very dull, the earth was shaking, we thought it was an earthquake, we all ran out, only to find the next day that the mountain had partially collapsed, and the waterfall was out of water," Old Man Fang sighed, "Since then, your great-grandfather has never come back!"
