A familiar voice came from far away. When I heard the voice, I trembled and turned around quickly.
I saw my grandfather walking slowly over. He was still wearing forest work clothes. He had a stooped figure and looked much older than the last time we met...
Although I know that my grandpa is very old, and old people in this age group are getting older every day, and at a very fast speed, I still feel a little bitter when I see my grandpa's rickety back and full head of white hair.
"Grandpa..." I whispered and took a few steps forward. Not only did Grandpa's appearance surprise me, but I also knew that my current appearance was also difficult for Grandpa to accept.
But it seems that I still underestimated my grandpa. For an old man who is used to the mundane world and has looked down on the vicissitudes of the world, my death does not seem to be too difficult to accept. The crazy Taoist senior also said before that my grandpa seemed to have expected this.
Everything happens.
Grandpa came towards me, regardless of whether the old cat lit up a second cigarette in the forest. Looking at me, grandpa's eyes were slightly red, but no tears fell: "Good boy, you have suffered."
I smiled and tried not to cry. Maybe it was because I shed so many tears when I met Old Cat just now, so my mood was now stable. I shook my head and said, "It's not bitter, Grandpa, it's not bitter."
Grandpa sighed, glanced at Xiao Feng, and asked: "This girl...is the Xiao Feng who has been protecting you, right?"
Xiaofeng nodded quickly and stepped forward, lowering his eyebrows and saying: "Grandpa."
Grandpa looked at Xiaofeng with a smile: "Okay, thank you, girl..."
Xiaofeng's face turned red and she didn't dare to speak.
Grandpa grabbed my hand, looked at the rising sun in the east, and said, "Let's go, it will still be dawn in a while, let's talk."
I looked back at the old cat and the others, and then I walked away with my grandfather.
It was quite cold on the mountain in the early morning, and the entire mountain was filled with bone-chilling mist. I saw that my grandfather’s steps were not as brisk as before, and I quickly asked: “Grandpa, can you stand it when it gets light in the morning?”
Grandpa smiled: "Don't worry, I will live on this mountain all my life, it can't hurt me."
While talking, we walked to another winding road in the distance.
Not far away is the famous Baihe Reservoir. It was filled with mist in the morning, which gave it a unique feeling. Grandpa looked at me and said, "Son, do you blame grandpa?"
"Blame you? Why would I blame you?" I asked in surprise.
Grandpa sighed: "These experiences you have now are actually related to me. I didn't figure out some things before, but this time the disaster made me figure out a lot of things... including you, including... the second child
.”
"Second Brother" refers to my second uncle, the "Second Master Lin" whom Mr. Jiang mentioned before, Lin Mufeng. My grandfather's sudden words made me a little confused.
"Grandpa, how did you figure it out? Could it be that you have opened your heavenly eyes again?" I asked in surprise, and even began to wonder if grandpa's current physical condition was related to the opening of his heavenly eyes.
Grandpa shook his head quickly and said: "Don't worry, I won't do such aggressive things in my current physical condition. It's just that I have been escaping in this life, and there are many things that I still haven't been able to escape..."
I know that grandpa won’t tell me clearly many of his words, because doing so would be tantamount to revealing secrets. Only I can understand the meaning of grandpa’s words, so every time grandpa said a word, I carefully wrote down a word.
Character.
"The Heavenly Tribulation has begun, and all of you are part of the Heavenly Tribulation... You, Mao Mao, Madman, Huang Tingxuan, and even Xiaofeng next to you, you are all part of the Heavenly Tribulation, and the Heavenly Tribulation started because of you.
It will come into being and will end because of you... Remember, although the person I once saw will be the one who ends the Heavenly Tribulation in the end, without you, the Heavenly Tribulation still cannot end."
I nodded quickly, not quite understanding it, but I had a rough idea of what it meant.
"The current Sijiu City has been turned upside down, and a new order and era will come... Yang Yang, you have now become... another existence, which does not mean loss, you know?" Grandpa said in a low voice.
, I listened quietly.
"Grandpa, I understand. I know that although I died once, maybe this is fate." Looking at my now ethereal body, I said with a bitter smile.
Grandpa nodded and said: "Yes, there is God's will in the dark. I have been pondering the way of heaven all my life. I thought I had found all the laws in it, but I found that in the end I was only getting a glimpse of it... What I saw
There are indeed many, but not all, so you still need to take control of many things yourself." As he said that, grandpa patted my shoulder gently: "This new era needs you to create and improve. Although the catastrophe is called a catastrophe,
But it is also a change, a change...Whether the result of this change is good or bad depends entirely on you who are in the midst of the change."
"I remember, Grandpa." I nodded quickly and said.
"Okay... just remember..." Grandpa stood on the mountain road with his hands behind his back, looking at the rippling blue water of the reservoir in the distance, and said: "Let's go home, it's going to be dawn, you and the little boy
Feng may need to hide in the house, and it just so happens that you and the kittens haven't seen each other for a long time, so you can chat together."
"Okay." I said quickly, and followed Grandpa towards where the old cat and the others were.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered two things, so I asked: "Grandpa, the evil ghost in the underground palace came here to find an old man in black robe. Who is he...?"
"I'm also thinking about his identity, but I haven't decided yet. He followed Xu Changge here that day, but he never met us. This person is very unusual." Grandpa said in a low voice.
"Oh... okay." I nodded: "Then there is another question, second uncle..." I know that second uncle has always been a taboo with grandpa, but grandpa just mentioned him casually, so I quickly struck while the iron was hot.
Ask the previous question.
Sure enough, this time when grandpa heard the word "second uncle", he was not angry, nor did he lower his head and say nothing. Instead, his eyes were blurred. He looked into the distance, sighed softly, and said: "Son, if I
Tell you, after all these years, I may not even know your second uncle or my son, do you believe it?"
"How come?" I looked at my grandfather in surprise and asked, "How come you don't understand him?"
Grandpa smiled bitterly: "It's in vain that I claim to be able to see through the secrets of heaven and understand the ways of heaven...I'm just a frog in the well...your second uncle...your second uncle..."
After saying the words "your second uncle", grandpa said nothing more, his face became a little pale, and his body trembled slightly.
I knew that there must be some kind of knot in Grandpa's heart that couldn't be solved, and he had no intention of telling me. I followed quietly, without saying a word, until I met Lao Mao and the others.
Grandpa, Crazy Taoist, Lao Mao, Xiao Feng and I, the three of us and two ghosts, walked towards the small village where Grandpa lived. Before dawn, we finally arrived. As soon as we entered the house, we heard Zhang Duo's voice, she
He seemed to be arguing with Xu Changge about something.
"My master's life or death is uncertain now, why don't you go and see him?" Zhang Duo's voice was very clear, like a mountain spring or a wind chime.
Then there was a sigh, and I smelled a strong smell of smoke. It seemed that Xu Changge was smoking.
"Speak...Uncle Xu, can't you please?" Zhang Duo's voice shouted again, seeming a little anxious.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that if you rush into the city now, not only will you not be able to save your master, but we will also be in danger." This is Xu Changge's voice: "You wait and I will contact you again, there will always be something good.
There is a way."
"But...it's been almost two weeks!" Zhang Duo was obviously impatient.
As soon as Lao Mao heard the conversation between the two people, he frowned, coughed, and said, "Lao Xu, Duo Duo, Lin Yang is back."
"Lao Xu?" I was surprised and asked in a low voice: "When did you change your name to Xu Changge, Lao Xu?"
The old cat chuckled and lowered his voice: "This is more friendly, what do you think?"
