Gu Xiaoman told her past, and the air was filled with sadness. Gu Linghao clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were red.
He didn't understand why there were such parents in the world who could abandon even his own flesh and blood.
Although his experience was almost the same as Jiang Qinian's, in his gradually blurring memories, the elders in his family had always loved him.
The conditions in the rural area where he was born were not very good, but every time his father came back from working outside, he would bring him many new things, including purple candies, small ocarinas, and sometimes some food that only city children would eat.
snack.
But what about Gu Xiaoman?
Her father abandoned her without telling her, and even her mother, with whom she lived day and night, regarded her as a burden.
They all ran towards a new life, only Gu Xiaoman stayed where he was, suffering the consequences of their crimes.
"My mother left me like this, and I haven't seen her since.
I thought grandma would blame me and get angry when she came back, but she didn't do that.
She just sat there, sipping her drink and saying nothing.
When I mustered up the courage to apologize to my grandmother, I saw that her eyes were filled with tears. She held me in her arms and gently touched my head.
Grandma told me that I don’t need to apologize, it’s not my fault, and from now on… from now on, the two of us will live together… She also said, little Manman, don’t be afraid, grandma will never abandon you…”
Then, Gu Xiaoman continued to talk. Even though so much time had passed, the pain and memories seemed to have happened yesterday.
"Later, when I grew up, my grandma used her savings to send me to school.
I know that my grandma is very, very hard for me, so I study hard and do my best in everything, just to not disappoint my grandma!
I want to study hard, get into a good university, and find a good job, so that grandma doesn’t have to work hard making noodles every day.
Although my life was not very rich, the time I spent with my grandma was very warm. I thought we could continue to be happy like this, but I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect that when I was eleven years old, I got seriously ill..."
Hearing this, Jiang Qinian and others sat up slightly.
If the guess is correct, the accident may have occurred when Gu Xiaoman was eleven years old.
Gu Xiaoman's twelfth birthday should be an important turning point. Although Gu Xiaoman was wrapped in death energy, he was not in danger of life. The mysterious disappearance of his grandmother was probably inseparable from this serious illness.
Therefore, Jiang Qinian hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"Miss Gu, I would like to ask you a question.
What disease did you suffer from when you were eleven years old?"
But what everyone didn't expect was that just after Jiang Qinian asked this question, Gu Xiaoman shook his head in confusion.
"I...I don't know.
My head is dizzy, my face is pale, I am very lethargic, and my body and bones are getting weaker day by day. Although I have a very regular diet and rest routine, my mental state is getting worse and worse.
It wasn't obvious at first, but later on, I would sometimes sleep for a whole day and night before waking up.
At first, my grandma didn’t know what was going on, so she went to almost all the hospitals in Tianfang City, but no matter which hospital she went to, she couldn’t find out what was wrong with me.
All indicators are normal, and there are no incurable diseases on the body, but those symptoms are real.
I seem to vaguely remember that after the examination was fruitless, my grandmother's face became very ugly, so gloomy that it seemed like ink could drip out.
It was a kind of extremely suppressed anger, and fire seemed to burst out of his eyes.
I have never seen my grandma like this, so I was very scared. I thought it was because I was sick that I made my grandma angry, so I kept apologizing to her.
But when she turned to look at me, there was only love and pity in her expression, as if the appearance just now was just my illusion.
She still held me in her arms like she did a few years ago, and repeated the same words.
But this time...grandma didn't say she wouldn't leave me behind..."
"Your grandmother...when did she disappear?"
"She disappeared on the second day of my birthday.
On her birthday... my grandma became very strange. She usually likes to drink some wine, but her drinking capacity is not very good. She often gets drunk without even two drinks.
However, grandma's wine taste is very good. She is not greedy for drinks and does not drink too much. After drinking too much, she will lean on the recliner and squint her eyes.
But that time she accidentally drank a lot.
She bought me cakes and made my favorite pork stewed vermicelli. Looking at the big table of delicious food, I couldn't believe my eyes.
This is definitely the most sumptuous meal I've had since I was a kid.
Grandma bought a lot of the sauced beef and donkey meat that are usually only satisfying to the eyes.
I asked her why she bought so many delicious foods, but grandma didn't say anything, just smiled and shook her head.
And I don’t know why, but I, who had been suffering from illness, suddenly seemed to be getting better, but I didn’t think much about it, I just thought that my appetite outweighed the pain of illness.
During this period, I devoured the feast, but my grandma didn’t move her chopsticks very much. She just drank one glass after another, and then looked at me with nostalgia and reluctance, as if she wanted to carve me into her heart.
I have experienced the warmth and coldness of the world since I was a child, so I naturally saw my grandma’s eyes.
So I asked her why she didn’t move her chopsticks, but my grandma just took a few symbolic bites. Then she told me that she was too old to eat greasy food. She also said that asking me to eat more would be equivalent to even eating her.
I also ate my share.
To be honest, I don’t quite understand what grandma means, but I know that grandma is old and drinking all the time is not good for her health.
But before I could persuade her, she picked up the little Gu and gave me a small sip.
I didn't want to drink it at first, but my grandma said that when I grow up, I won't have the chance. I should take advantage of this last moment to have a drink with my grandma.
Unable to resist grandma's expectant gaze, I finally picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with grandma, and drank it all in one gulp.
The drink was very spicy, and I choked with tears. I don’t know if it was my imagination, but there were shadows on the wall next to me, but it was only me.
I was young and had never drank alcohol before, so I felt dizzy shortly after drinking, so I just thought it was a mistake.
Later, I met a few guests. When I returned, my grandma had already cleared the table. I got drunk, so I lay down next to my grandma as soon as I entered the room:
In the haze, I saw my grandma sitting beside me, stroking my forehead, and softly recounting every detail of my childhood, as if she was attached to and concerned about this world.
I fell asleep peacefully in this environment."
Although all these things made people feel sad for autumn, Jiang Qinian thought of another thing.
Gu Xiaoman is riddled with death energy, but his energy and blood have not declined. If it is a serious illness that can cause death, even if it is treated in time, he will be weak and leave many sequelae.
So Gu Xiaoman doesn't look like he has been seriously ill.
But now that this situation has occurred, the only explanation is that someone manipulated her to kill her!
And it definitely involves unknown forces!
But the most unexpected thing is not that Gu Xiaoman was framed by someone using unknown powers, but that Grandma Gu was there!
Grandma Gu is a practitioner!!
This is what surprised a few people.
After all, the early warning device issued an early warning, and Gu Xiaoman was the protagonist of this unknown incident, so it was normal for her to be corroded by unknown forces.
But Apo Gu first took her to the hospital for examination. After the examination was fruitless, Apo Gu brought her back. And it was not difficult to see from the other party's expression that Apo Gu probably guessed that Gu Xiaoman was plotted against, so
That's why he's so angry.
Gu Xiaoman is hazy
She only saw her own shadow, and she thought she was wrong, but in fact, Grandma Gu was probably dead at that time.
Even after drinking a lot, she didn't get drunk. In addition, Gu Xiaoman's health improved significantly, and the secret hidden in her soul, it is not difficult to guess that Grandma Gu sacrificed herself to save Gu Xiaoman.
Thinking of this, Ying Chumei asked carefully:
"Miss Gu, did your grandmother... disappear when you woke up the next day?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoman nodded.
"Yes, grandma disappeared when I woke up the next day. I remember grabbing her collar before going to bed because I felt a little uneasy and felt as if I was losing her.
So I thought, if I catch my grandma, she won’t be able to leave.
After I woke up, I couldn't find her no matter how hard I looked.
At first I thought my grandma had gone out to sell noodles, but the tricycle was still in the yard, and the gate to the yard was locked tightly from the inside, with no sign of being opened.
Grandma just disappeared. I went to call the police, but there was no clue.
I don’t know where my grandma went, but I know that she should have saved me...
After my grandma disappeared, my health improved day by day. Sometimes I thought about holding a funeral, but I... I really didn't have the courage...
What if grandma didn't leave?
Maybe she just went on a long trip. When I wake up one morning, I will see her standing on the platform cooking noodles, and then kindly say to me, "Little Manman, have you ever wanted to
grandmother?"
As she talked, Gu Xiaoman finally burst into tears. She had been insisting on living, waiting for the day when her grandmother would come back.
She doesn't understand things about practitioners.
But she knew that her grandmother had to sacrifice herself to save her.
She had wanted to pursue her grandmother more than once, but in those difficult nights, it was her grandmother's love that kept her going.
Grandma told her that she should live well, no matter what setbacks she encounters, she should live well. As long as she lives, she will surely survive one day.
Gu Xiaoman has always been an obedient child.
So no matter how unsatisfactory life is, she will grit her teeth and persevere.
She vowed to eat a lot of delicious food and see a big world.
Along with grandma's share.
Because...this is an agreement between her and her grandmother...
