If my mother had said that the grandfather of the family where my eldest brother was adopted was not familiar with him, or that the relationship was average, I would not be so distressed. The problem is that my mother said that the relationship between the old man who came to take away my eldest brother and his grandfather might even be

We are close friends, which can be seen from the fact that my grandfather drank with him. For so many years at home, I only knew that my grandfather smoked heavily, but I never knew that he could drink.

As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are too little to meet a close friend. If a person who doesn't know how to drink drinks with a person to the fullest, then this person is definitely a very good friend.

In Fatty's words, if water ghost can be regarded as a craft, this craft is hereditary, that is, it is passed down within the family. In this way, the eldest brother is a water ghost, and he is the leader among water ghosts - the king of water ghosts.

, the family that adopted the eldest brother is definitely a water ghost family.

Does grandpa know this?

Grandpa definitely knew what such a close friend did.

So I can’t imagine why grandpa adopted the eldest brother when he knew that the family was a water ghost? It would be easier to understand if the family were just ordinary craftsmen. After all, in those days, it took a lifetime to learn a craft.

In order to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, many people will send their children to learn carpentry, learn suona, learn to tie flowers, etc., but this craft is a water ghost.

Not only did he have to eat corpses since he was a child, but his personality changed into eccentricities when he grew up, and he also ended up with a miserable ending after his death.

What kind of mentality does a grandfather have that he is willing to let his eldest grandson suffer like this?

Taking a step back, the fat man also said that the reason why the Water Ghost King is called the king is because countless children can die just from eating water corpses.

So I can’t imagine how my grandpa would have felt if his eldest brother had died from eating water when he was adopted out at the age of three.

What is even more unimaginable to me is that when my eldest brother was forced to eat corpses, what did he think of the grandfather who had arranged his own destiny with his own hands?

I thought about the conversation and exchanges that my eldest brother had with my grandfather when he came back that day, including his attitude towards his family for such a long time. I could feel that my eldest brother was actually alienated from this family.

I smoked a few cigarettes, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. And I felt that I was very rational at this time, and it was not the neurotic random thoughts I used to have. I knew in my heart that what I was thinking was true. It was when my grandpa was three years old.

Pushed him into a pit of fire, but I don't believe that a biological grandfather would arrange such a fate for his eldest grandson. Although my grandfather didn't particularly care about me since I was a child, and he behaved very calmly after my eldest brother came back, I

This all comes down to my grandfather’s slow reaction due to his age and the rural elderly’s unique inability to express love.

I stood up. I needed to go to my grandpa to verify it. If it was true, I felt that the debt owed to my eldest brother by this family was really unpaid. I left the house. My mother had already hung up the clothes and was busy in the kitchen. Grandpa

He was still smoking a dry cigarette over there. When he saw me coming out, he turned his head to me again, with the same expression on his face that I felt was very unfamiliar.

I walked over and helped my grandpa stuff tobacco into the dry tobacco bag. Then I took a piece of paper, rolled up the tobacco and lit it. After just one puff, I started coughing violently. The tobacco my grandpa smoked was actually the toad here.

It has almost no cigarette taste. The feeling of smoking is like a knife starting from your throat and cutting through your lungs, passing through the five internal organs, entering the six internal organs, and finally reaching the heels. After one sip, you can even feel the soles of your feet.

It's spicy.

But it is this burning feeling that can make you feel awake.

I stopped coughing and didn't dare to look at my grandpa's feelings. After all, this was my grandson questioning grandpa. I said softly: "Grandpa, I just found out today that the reason why my eldest brother is so powerful after he comes back is because he is a water ghost."

, this water ghost is a professional, and if he wants to become as powerful as big brother, he has gone through a lot of hardships, narrowly escaped death, and was very miserable after death."

I didn't ask directly, but I knew that if grandpa knew about it, he would definitely know what I meant when I said that.

Grandpa took a puff of dry cigarette, nodded and said: "I know."

I really didn't expect grandpa to be so honest. I looked up at him and said, "Grandpa, you know everything?"

He nodded and didn't look at me. His cloudy old eyes looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I know you are willing to give it away? That is the eldest grandson. If he were in a wealthy family in the past, his status would be much higher than mine. Don't tell me that you have to endure hardships to become a great person. I don't believe it."

road.

"It's better than dying here." Grandpa knocked the pot on his pipe and stood up tremblingly.

"Grandpa?" I asked, not knowing what grandpa was going to do.

"It's okay, I'll go and take a nap for a while." Grandpa smiled at me and entered the room. I knew that he didn't want to say more, or that he had said all he needed to say.

At this moment, my mother came out of the kitchen with red eyes. When I looked at her eyes, it looked like she had just cried. She looked at me and said, "Yi Zi, don't blame your grandpa. When I sent your brother away,

I know everything, but your father is dead like that, and he dies suddenly, and we are scared! If you don’t send your brother to a family like that, I’m also afraid that he will die just like that!"

After my mother finished speaking, she squatted on the ground holding her head and cried.

I stood up and walked over, helped my mother up and said, "Don't cry, Mom, I'm just curious and asking. I know everything if you say so. I was just wondering if I would do it if it were me, but

Thinking about my father's death, I feel that if it were me, I would do the same. My elder brother is so smart, he must know your difficulties and won't blame you."

My mother was still crying. I held her in my arms. After a while, she raised her head and said, "I don't care if your brother blames me, but I don't want anything to happen to you two again. I asked Zhuqiu to stop you."

Yes, stop checking. Your father is dead. I don’t want anything to happen to you two again because of this matter. I know you must have found something when you ask this. Stop it. I’m begging you as a mother, okay?

."

"Mom, you know how dad died, and you also know who killed dad, right?" My mom said this, and I suddenly felt that my dad's death might not be an unsolved case at all. Both my mom and my grandfather knew who it was.

They did it! The reason why they didn't say anything was because they were afraid of retaliation. It was precisely because of fear of retaliation that they adopted the eldest brother!

"Don't ask, I don't know anything and I won't tell you anything. My child, you are twenty-three this year, but do you know that the year your dad died, he was only twenty-five?" my mother said.

After she finished, she pushed me away, rushed into the room and locked herself in. I could hear her sobbing in the room.

I stood in the yard, feeling very heavy in my heart.

At the same time, I feel extremely resentful.

The person who killed my father also wanted to kill my eldest brother, and had made my grandfather and mother live in fear for twenty years. I gritted my teeth and swore: "No matter who you are, I will find you out!"

"

When I entered the house, I glanced at my grandfather's room and found that my grandfather was standing by the window looking at me. A piece of his window glass was broken. Through the glass, I saw my grandfather's cloudy old eyes.

, all the vicissitudes of his life were written in his eyes.

No matter how much I hate the murderer.

I can't understand the pain my grandfather felt when he lost his son and the pain my mother felt when she lost her husband.

There is some pain that you won’t understand unless you experience it yourself.

——I entered the room, lay on the bed, and fell asleep unconsciously until Han Xue woke me up. She pinched me and said, "How about I fall asleep on my bed?"

"It's so comfortable. I've never slept in such a comfortable bed." I stretched and said. There is a saying that the person you love has the ability to relax you the fastest. Han Xue has this ability.

, I have been very anxious these past few days, but as soon as I saw her, especially her playful look, all the stress on my body was swept away.

"Then you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the sofa?" Han Xue said with a wink.

"That's not possible, let's sleep together." I laughed.

"That's a good idea. Get up and eat quickly. By the way, how did that matter go?" Han Xue asked.

I opened my mouth, not knowing how to answer.
