Huangfu Xiuhu inadvertently glanced sideways at his precious granddaughter.
When he saw the disappointed look on Huangfu Wanyu's face, he seemed to understand something for a moment.
"Girl, tell grandpa, do you like that brat but that brat doesn't like you?"
Huangfu Wanyu quickly waved her hands and said: "No...no...how could I like a bastard like him?"
Although Huangfu Wanyu said so, what kind of person is Huangfu Xiuhu?
How can you not see it at a glance?
"What a bastard!"
"How dare he dislike my precious granddaughter!"
"His grandma is so deceptive!"
Huangfu Xiuhu was angry now.
In his opinion, what is wrong with his granddaughter?
The figure is perfect.
Her appearance is even more stunning.
Why does that brat dislike my granddaughter?
"Grandpa, please stop talking, I won't like that bastard..." Huangfu Wanyu almost shed tears when she heard her grandfather keep saying this.
Huangfu Xiuhu was so angry.
However, Qi Gui Qi still needs to take care of her granddaughter’s emotions.
"Girl, no matter what, since you love, you must love boldly!"
"Listen to what grandpa said, in this world, once you miss some things, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
When Huangfu Xiuhu said these words, he suddenly burst into tears.
Huangfu Wanyu looked at her grandfather's sad look and couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, did you also encounter this kind of emotional problem when you were young?"
Huangfu Xiuhu rolled his eyes at his granddaughter.
But then his eyes fell into hesitation.
At the same time, a picture from his youth suddenly appeared in his mind... In the picture, a girl who likes to wear a floral skirt and bare snow-white feet is chasing a kite while shouting: embroider tiger, embroider tiger
Tiger, come and chase me...
The scene was frozen, but unfortunately the girl disappeared without a trace.
"How wonderful it would be if we could go back in time."
Nangong Xiuhu suddenly lamented, and infinite past events flooded into his mind like a tide.
Huangfu Wanyu was so smart. Seeing her grandfather's sigh, she had already guessed everything.
Running over and grabbing Huangfu Xiuhu's arm, Huangfu Wanyu said: "Grandpa, tell me about your past!"
Huangfu Xiuhu was reluctant to speak at first, but under Huangfu Wanyu's insistence, Lao Xiuhu finally said helplessly: "Do you really want to listen?"
"Yeah, I want to listen!"
Huangfu Xiuhu sighed and said: "Since you want to listen, grandpa will tell you!"
"Come on, follow me to the ancestral home!"
"Uh-huh!"
In this way, Huangfu Wanyu followed Huangfu Xiuhu to his ancestral home.
The ancestral residence of the Huangfu family is located at the very back.
This used to be the oldest house of the Huangfu family, and as of now, it has a history of almost a hundred years.
The old house with blue bricks and tiles looks very desolate because it has not had an owner for so many years.
Flowers and plants were planted all around the old house, and the dense ivy covered half of the walls of the old house.
"Grandpa, why did you bring me to the ancestral home suddenly?"
Huangfu Wanyu looked at this ancestral house, which she had not been to for many years, and couldn't help but ask.
Huangfu Xiuhu raised his eyes and looked at the ancestral house and said: "Because for many things, the older they are, the more people miss them!"
After saying this inexplicably, Huangfu Xiuhu took out an old key from under a stone lion on the side.
The key was mottled and rusty.
Taking the key, Huangfu Xiuhu opened the small wooden door in front of him.
Reach out and push.
The small wooden door made a creaking sound.
As the wooden door of the ancestral home was pushed open, a smell of pungent dust came oncoming.
The grandfather and grandson quickly covered their noses.
He reached out and pulled open the light bulb on the side. Under the dim light, the old ancestral house finally appeared in Huangfu Wanyu's eyes.
The ancestral house is not very big, only about a hundred square feet.
There were once-old furniture inside, as well as sewing machines, wooden tables and chairs, etc... but everything was covered with thick dust.
Looking at the old ancestral home, Huangfu Wanyu wondered: "Grandpa, what do you want to show me?"
Huangfu Xiuhu said nothing and walked towards the innermost place.
The innermost is a bedroom, and on the left side of the bedroom is a wooden bookshelf.
The bookshelf is empty.
After Huangfu Xiuhu came over, he stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on a raised button on the far side of the bookshelf.
Boom, the bookshelf opened automatically from the middle.
Forehead?
When Huangfu Wanyu saw that there was a secret door behind the bookshelf, her eyes couldn't help but light up.
"There's actually a secret door here?"
As the bookshelf moved away with a rumble, an old box appeared in Huangfu Wanyu's eyes.
This box seems to be particularly precious. Huangfu Xiuhu placed it at the innermost side of the secret door.
Huangfu Xiuhu looked at the box with hesitation in his eyes. He sighed slightly and moved the box out.
"Boom!"
When Huangfu Xiuhu placed the box on the table, he pointed at the box and said, "This is what grandpa used to be!"
"once?"
Huangfu Wanyu was a little puzzled.
Huangfu Xiuhu smiled bitterly.
"yes!"
"After so many years, this dusty past of grudges has been buried for almost sixty years, and even your parents don't know about it."
Huangfu Wanyu was startled and thought: So mysterious?
I don’t know what’s in this box?
"Grandpa, what on earth is going on here?"
Huangfu Wanyu asked quickly.
Huangfu Xiuhu said: "You will know later."
After saying that, he stretched out his two broad palms and slowly opened the wooden box.
After the box was opened with a click, Huangfu Wanyu quickly stepped forward to take a look. When she saw it, she was stunned.
The first thing that caught my eye was a tattered kite... In addition to the kite, there was also a wedding dress from the last century... The wedding dress was an old Chinese style.
Apart from these, there are only yellowed letters.
If you look at these envelopes at a glance, you can see that there are more than a hundred of them.
Looking at these old things, Huangfu Wanyu was speechless.
She originally thought that grandpa would show her some strange treasures, but she didn't expect that what grandpa brought out were all old supplies from back then.
"Grandpa, these things are...???"
Huangfu Wanyu asked with curiosity on her face.
Huangfu Xiuhu sighed with emotion: "This is my grandfather's past, and it was also the most precious love of my grandfather's time!"
"love?"
"Yes."
Huangfu Xiuhu sighed and said, "It's just that grandpa's love has ended before it even began!"
After saying that, Huangfu Xiuhu suddenly pointed to the shabby kite inside the wooden box and said, "Did you see it? This is the kite that grandpa made for her when he was young!"
"She likes to fly kites, and grandpa made many for her himself at that time!"
"Where are these letters? They were the letters she wrote to me when grandpa went to join the queue!"
"As for this wedding dress..."
When he said this, Huangfu Xiuhu's tall body suddenly started to tremble slightly.
Huangfu Wanyu looked at her most respected and mighty grandfather in her life, and suddenly her body trembled slightly at this moment. At that moment, her heart began to tremble.
Her beautiful eyes looked at the letters and the wedding dress from the last century.
Huangfu Wanyu knew that this must be the most poignant love story of her grandfather's youth!
After thinking about it, Huangfu Wanyu looked up at her grandfather in front of her. She saw that there was reluctance in his eyes...and unwillingness...and many, many regrets.
"Grandpa, can you tell me about your love when you were young?"
Huangfu Wanyu suddenly said in anticipation.
She wants to know her grandfather's past, and even more, what kind of tortuous and desolate love story is this hidden past in this box?
Huangfu Xiuhu took a deep breath, pulled up a wooden chair and sat down.
"Girl, do you really want to hear it?"
Huangfu Wanyu hurriedly squatted next to her grandfather, blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I want to!!"
"Fine!"
"Since you want to listen, grandpa will tell you!"
After saying this, Huangfu Xiuhu raised his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window.
At this moment, time suddenly seemed to be turned back, and all the dusty past slowly came to Huangfu Xiuhu's mind.
"That year, grandpa, I was only 16 years old! That year, she was 14!"
"When I met her, she had just moved to Yanjing!"
"Because her family background was not good, her life was quite difficult at that time. I clearly remember that when I met her, she was picking up garbage on the roadside and looking for something to eat! Seeing that she was sallow and skinny, and so thin and pitiful, I thought at that time
I quickly ran home and brought her all the steamed buns I had just steamed at home!"
"I clearly remember that when I gave her the steamed buns, there was surprise and confusion in her eyes... But in the end I gave her all the steamed buns. In exchange, I went home
Got beaten up by my parents!"
As he spoke, Huangfu Xiuhu laughed.
"However, it was also that day that I met her!"
"Due to long-term malnutrition and her small stature, she was often bullied by boys of the same age in school. My grandfather stood up for her and helped her fight!"
"Sometimes grandpa's face will be bruised after being beaten, but it still doesn't matter. The next day, if he sees someone bullying her, grandpa will still go up and do it!"
"Just like that, after going back and forth, she and I became the best friends!"
"I remember that she liked dancing, but because of family reasons, she couldn't sign up for dance classes!"
"So grandpa took her and secretly climbed to the wall to watch others practice."
"Over time, she learned to dance. Every day we would go to the suburbs and I would watch her dance!"
"What a wonderful time it was back then!"
Huangfu Xiuhu sighed with emotion as he spoke. The corners of his mouth raised, and his face was filled with the happiness of youth.
Huangfu Wanyu also squatted aside and listened slowly and fascinatedly!
"Just two years after we met, my grandfather was suddenly sent to the countryside to join the team...and she, because of family connections, was also assigned to a remote countryside far away for transformation!"
"Although I was in the countryside at that time, I was thinking about her all the time, so the two of us exchanged letters!"
"In the blink of an eye, three years passed by in a hurry!"
"In the past three years, we have conveyed our lovesickness one by one through letters!"
"Just one day, I suddenly received a letter from her. The letter said that she was bullied in the countryside of southern Yunnan. There was a pockmarked village chief in the village who harassed her every day, and the sect always knocked on her door in the middle of the night!"
"My grandpa was young and energetic at that time. On the first day he received the letter, he quickly took the train to go to her."
"I remember that when I saw her, she was being beaten severely by a group of village women. Those nasty village women beat her with brooms and stones to humiliate her! They also said that she deliberately seduced the pockmarked village chief!
"
"I was so angry that I stood up and punished those ignorant shrews one by one!"
"I clearly remember that when I saw her, her face was swollen, she was wearing the shabbiest clothes, and she didn't even have shoes... When she saw me, she threw herself into my arms,
Crying and saying, let me take her away, let me take her out of here!"
"That night, she cried in her arms all day and night. She told me that the Mazi village chief harassed her all day long and even wanted to sleep with her! As long as she didn't want to, the village chief wouldn't give her food and would even let her
She does the heaviest work!”
"After I heard this, I couldn't help but feel angry. I immediately picked up a sickle and went to the Mazi village chief's house, and then chopped him into serious injuries! As a result, I was sentenced to two years of forced labor!"
"During the two years when I was in the labor camp, she would send me a letter almost every ten days, telling me about her daily life!"
"Although the letter said that she was doing better, I knew that in fact she was still bullied, and the Mazi village chief got worse and bullied her even more!"
"After enduring it for two years, I was finally released!"
"The first thing I did after my release was to take her away from that ghost place. I made an agreement with her that we would prepare to escape at midnight on the third day!"
"We made all preparations, but we never expected that my family would find out about this! They knew that I was sent to a labor camp because of her, and they knew that I was punished because of her, so I was not allowed to see her.
!”
"They locked me in the room. I cried and begged desperately, but no one let me go!"
"On that day, I didn't go back to meet her as promised..."
"Later I heard that she was alone at the agreed place, waiting all night and another day!"
"On the third day, she was captured by the Mazi village chief and his men..."
"I heard people tell me later that when she was taken back, she cried blood and tears and shouted my name over and over again... But I couldn't see her!"
"Finally, I was finally released from my family! After being released, I tried my best to find her..."
"But when I rushed to the village, someone suddenly told me that she was missing. Some people also said that she jumped into the river."
"In the end, I inquired from many sources and found out that she was taken back by the Mazi village chief that day and beaten severely. The Mazi village chief drank wine that day and wanted to taint her, but she picked up a handful of her.
She chopped off her head with an axe... Later that day, some villagers said that after she killed the village chief of Mazi, she then used an ax to hack all the village chief's family to death... In the end, someone saw her carrying a bloody hand by herself.
With his axe, he left the village... and went to the seaside..."
"After that, I will never find her again!"
"No one knows where she went, and no one knows whether she committed suicide by jumping into the river..."
"But I know that I, Huangfu Xiuhu, am ashamed of her for the rest of my life. I am ashamed of her for my whole life!"
"From then on, I stopped communicating with my family and joined the army!"
After saying these words, Huangfu Xiuhu suddenly looked into the distance with hazy eyes and said, "Girl, are you done listening? This is my grandfather's past, and this is my grandfather's love in his youth!"
