Chapter 3: Who is the old friend?
It was that night that I read my grandfather's notebook, from which I learned the story of what had happened in the peaceful village of Locked Head all those years ago. After reading it, I felt very strange, the development of things in these thirty years seems to have undergone a radical change, this change makes me as a "bystander" feel unable to adapt.
For my father and mother, including Li Erdan's relationship, I do not have any feeling, the times are different, the first I feel that Li Erdan is not a lack of women's main, the second two eggs and my mother know only a few years old child? At that time my old lady in the grandfather's notes or a silly girl, and not those Korean drama blood plot childhood sweethearts and then separated for many years, I only feel curious is this Li Erdan in these years in the end what happened.
How did he turn from a teenager like that into a person like this now, and the most important thing is Li Erdan's face, today I feel for this middle-aged man is handsome and sharp, at a glance similar to a lord like characters. Not the slightest hint that his face was once disfigured. But this is also very good to understand, after all, nowadays the medical cosmetic surgery technology is so developed, he such a not lack of money, a lord, plastic surgery a face is also very normal.
When reading my grandfather's notes, my grandmother and my father, including my mother, were present, I saw the notes because of that e-mail asked them, and now we are most concerned about who that e-mail was sent to me.
Signed by my grandfather's deceased, my grandfather in the thirty years after the departure of He Zhenzhen acted low-profile, I suddenly remembered that the signature signed by my grandfather's deceased in the early days. There was a sentence in the email that said that the kind of changes that would happen to Grandpa's body had to do with some of the things he did in his early days.
This early period was used very well.
And this person who counted before my grandfather's death that my grandfather would die three days after I received the email must be a high level person who counted my grandfather's death! I just asked my grandma and my dad, my grandpa was not murdered, he died naturally in his sleep.
Early days, deceased people, and a tall man.
The combination of these three things, together with this autobiographical notes of my grandfather, who is the person who sent me the e-mail, seems to be on the verge of coming out, then there are two candidates, the first is that because of the lack of excellence in the learning of the art of a large number of years went out to learn the art of the He Zhenxing, the second is the Princess Grave in the appearance of the stunning to the extreme Huang Lao.
If these two people are still alive, they are both close to 100 years old, according to my understanding, it is Huang Lao's hope is very high, because in the notes can be seen, this Huang Lao is a very fashionable old man, while He Zhenzhen is a traditional Taoist master.
This mail is e-mail, He Zhenran playing computer typing to send e-mail, I can not imagine what this is a scene, always very strange, so, in my heart basically determined that this early deceased person who sent me an e-mail, should be Huang Lao.
Regardless of whether it is Huang Lao or He Zhenzhen, these two people are undoubtedly very powerful characters, and at this time our family's feeling is very strange. It was a twisted feeling that was hard to describe. Someone had calculated my grandfather's death and wanted him to be buried in a very "weird" way. –Otherwise, there will be unexpected troubles.
Now the situation is, whether to listen to the words of the owner of this mail, no matter this person is Huang Lao or He Zhenzhen, this is my family is now facing a choice, and finally or my grandma hammer hammer said: "your grandpa was most admired by He Zhenzhen when he was alive, and also admired this Huang Lao, these two are undoubtedly the world outside of the master, and we only have grace and no grudges, so listen to them! There are some things you can't believe in, but you have to listen to them. There are some things you can't believe in, but you have to."
Grandma is the elder, her decision is our decision, in fact, after reading this note guessed that it was Huang Lao I also feel that we should follow what he said, after all, that person is so powerful a person. But this is also a problem, according to the mail said, grandpa to seven days can not be buried, and in seven days of burial can not use the coffin, not to mention wearing a life jacket, which is not reasonable law, stop the spirit of the three days or our rules here, stop the spirit of the seven days is what happened?
In the end, or my father thought of a way, grandpa according to the rules of the three days of mourning funeral, but only send a coffin without the body, the body we keep, in the seventh day after the burial to go alone. We all agreed with my father's idea, and did not say anything else, and the matter was settled for the time being.
On the third day, my grandfather's coffin was buried on time in my grandmother's graveyard (in many places in the Central Plains, grandmother refers to my grandfather's father, not grandmother, and this is also a solution to the doubts that we have been having), and we were all heartbroken, so naturally, I won't say any more.
And my grandfather's remains, was temporarily saved in an empty house, because the weather is still hot, my old man also drove a motorcycle to the countryside of the cold storage to buy ice back to save, waiting for seven days after the time, in accordance with the instructions of the high people and then go to the burial, this thing is also considered to be finished.
And I in the next few days, like reading a novel like the grandfather left the notes sort of read several times, only to feel that this village actually have so many things is I do not know, that happened in the past few years, is simply a legend.
And I am most curious about a place is the Princess Tomb, because grandpa they did not break open the Princess Tomb this place, Huang Lao said the Princess Tomb to open the conditions are: the sand river water dry no supreme view down.
This in the year, it is impossible to complete the conditions, but now one of the conditions has been reached, that is, the sand river water dry, the sand river was originally the mother river of the town of Sanlitun children, but just a decade or two ago, the government in order to protect the city's water supply, we dug a reservoir here, it took several years before digging a reservoir, this reservoir is to lead to the water of the Sandy River, Sandy River water introduced into the reservoir after the gradual because of the After the introduction of the Sha River water into the reservoir, gradually, because of this big project, the Sha River, which had not broken its flow for a hundred years, really dried up and has now become a very big sand quarry in the neighborhood.
Seemingly impossible sand river water dry, has now dried up, there is a condition supreme view pour, this seems to be much simpler. I can't help but be very interested in these Feng Shui mystic arts, Huang Lao said that the person who repaired the grave for the Princess was very powerful, and I'm even thinking now, could he have counted in the Qing Dynasty that in a hundred years he would build a reservoir?
Feng Shui is really a mysterious thing.
–On the other hand, Li Erdan this time back to the time is very coincidental, just my grandfather died on the day back, which at the beginning of the time I even want my grandfather's death is not related to this strange Li Erdan, and later realized that he is just that day back to the village, in the countryside when I heard the lock of the village of Guo Gengshen died, which I I just let go, after all, my grandfather is also considered near and far famous characters.
Outside the crazy rumor for a few days Li Erdan will find my old man's trouble, for women the two brothers will turn against each other, the results of a few days down my old man and Li Erdan's relationship is very good these rumors even if they do not attack from the break, Li Erdan this time back, is considered to be the return of home, and this time he seems to have made a long-term lock head of the village to settle in the intention of the village, in addition to his own home in addition to the old mansion, he will be next to the two homes are high price to buy, and found a few construction teams, immediately began to break down the village of the village of the village of the village of the village of Guo more Chen died. A few construction teams, immediately began to break ground to build a grand house at home.
My father later explained that I said, can not be called Li Erdan, Li Erdan this name from the time he succeeded to Zhao Laobian useless, now Li Erdan or called Zhao Laobian, people send nickname Zhao Baji.
He gave himself an extremely pretentious sounding name, Zhao Wuji.
Everyone should be able to imagine is, Zhao Bajie in such a way back, back to the lock head village child is definitely a resounding figure, the village must have people flatter him, and those who are usually in the bachelor character, but also gradually looking for Zhao Bajie to get close to the rich people in the village, is the boss of a few brick kilns, but now a few of the landowners where will have Zhao Bajie rich? It only took three or two days for the name of Master Zhao to become the number one person in the village of Lockhart.
This is nowadays, this is the reality.
