Chapter 400: Qionglong Stone Shadow · Story of Letter

I heard the back spine was cold, my hands were shaking, and after a while I said, "How can your grandma do this? Does she have any strange illness?"
"Later, I was found by my aunt. It turned out that she went to the toilet. After that, I was always afraid of my grandma. After I was sensible, my grandma told me that this is a method for the Huo women to practice soft kung fu. She has been sleeping like this since she was a girl at the age of nineteen. Now she ca n’t sleep at all on the bed. There are bone spurs in many places, and it wo n’t hurt if you hang it. "
"I lean, then your grandpa must have practiced in front of the cave for a while." Fatty said.
Huo Xiuxiu ignored him and continued: "Because it makes me remember too deeply, I am very concerned about her last sentence."
Judging from Huo Xiuxiu's own narrative and my observation of her, she is a girl who has her own worldview for a long time, and has independent thinking and good thinking. Therefore, she is very grateful about the sleeping position of the grandmother at that time and the few dreams. Huai, of course, this kind of nagging is not just a touch. The reason why she feels that this dream has some unusual meaning is that she has heard the same dream words many times afterwards.
As she grew older, she began to believe that her seemingly strong grandma like a rock had a huge knot in her heart.
This knot is very secretive, and her grandmother may not say it to death, but Huo Xiuxiu can be sure that the knot must be related to that sentence.
"No time left."
What's the matter?
It ’s hard to say whether it ’s curiosity, or the same life-killing Tai Chi as I thought, or what she said, hoping to untie the knot for her favorite grandma, she began to deliberately and unintentionally spy on this matter, To my surprise, the little girl showed amazing mobility in spying on this job. The clarity of her thinking and her grasp of things are not proportional to her age.
"The girls of our Huo family are often beautiful and smart, and the boys are very handsome but often stupid." She explained: "I don't know why, maybe it's because girls are brought up to grandma from childhood. My brother only knows the whole thing, it ’s not serious. "
"I think it's okay to check my grandma and aunt are not serious things." The fat man poked.
She thought about it, and probably felt right, and sighed: "In short, check it, my grandma's knot becomes my knot."
She really started to investigate this matter. She may be 15 years old four years ago. There is no clue about everything. Only that sentence has no time. If you are in me, you may not be able to start at all. But for her, I have no idea. To the point of entry.
At first, she wanted to find her grandmother ’s diary, but unfortunately not everyone will have the habit of keeping a diary. Her grandmother ’s previous written information is very little. Unlike these people in my family, my grandmother is everyone ’s boudoir (note that my grandmother ) The educated son and grandson are more or less of a book composition, even when the uncle is not speaking, he can also be a white-faced scholar. Huo's style is more utilitarian and rivers and lakes, women have to fight, tomb robbing and husband-teacher, will not have time to practice calligraphy and writing articles, so Mrs. Huo's temperament was definitely not Lin Daiyu That kind. Therefore, there will inevitably not be too many words left.
However, Huo Xiuxiu didn't find it at all. She found a lot of letters, and there were files in the correspondence. She had read a few boxes of old letters with a or the kind of ghost head idea of ​​finding a grandma's love letter. . It is a pity that all correspondence is basically business dealings, and there is nothing she wants to know at all.
But she also found a strange place.
He found that since 1995, there was a special mail every year. It was a package, and it was basically sent in the second half of March. When the package was sent that year, there was a notice, and then I got it at the post office. Because Huo's status was different, several things were first filtered and then filed. Most of the packages will be disassembled and inspected, and the contents will be filled in a form, and the items will be written to who will be written in the back. Xiuxiu found this on this form.
On the forms in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999, the contents of the package were: videotapes. The people who took things were all her grandma.
That is, in March of those years, someone would send a video tape to her grandma.
And her grandmother is a very old-school person who can only watch dramas. Videos like this can't be imagined to have a relationship with her grandmother.
There is no doubt that she has a strong interest in the whereabouts of these videos. So she began to pay attention, and through all possible opportunities, to find those few tapes.
(I remembered that I had the same experience before, except that I was looking for a three-level film that my dad got from a friend in Hong Kong. Then I discovered that I loved not pictures, but the tapes themselves. Stimulus)
To this end, she even made a very detailed plan, such as when her grandmother went out and how to deal with it after seeing the bag. To this end, she saved two months of money to buy a video recorder, and set up a ripping connection with the home video recorder.
Finally, she found the tapes under the floor under her grandmother's wardrobe. She picked one and quickly took it to the living room to rip it before putting it back. The whole process was as nervous as being an agent.
After, she chose a time to go to her friend's house and read the tape.
The content of the belt is as she said, it seems to be a surveillance picture. It is a very dim hut. Several people in white clothes are crawling on the ground. The entire belt has more than thirty minutes of content. , She recognized it inside, her aunt, Huo Ling.
Her aunt seemed to have no soul inside, crawling on the ground, that was really terrifying.
She had known about the disappearance of her aunt since she was a child, so after seeing this tape, she was scared away, she did n’t know what was going on, what was wrong, but she knew it instinctively, it was a very bad Things, her grandmother seems to hide some secrets, her grandmother really has a terrible knot.
But she did n’t dare to ask her grandma what was going on, because she knew that there would be no good results, and she did n’t dare to tell others that she was always uneasy for the next month.
However, perhaps it is really because she and I have similar personalities. After she calmed down slowly, the thirst for truth began to torture her. The so-called violent Tai Chi person has a heavy curiosity. Others hard to believe.
After, she continued to investigate, and at first there was no result, until she took a very clever but risky approach.
She actually spent a few months, imitating her grandmother's notes, writing a reply to all the addresses on those old letters.
The letter was written roughly like this:
Everyone:
I have dreamed about that thing again recently. For many years, this nightmare has been lingering. Now I want to come, maybe it is the key, I hope to recount it face to face, only as an old friend.
The age of these letters spans nearly half a century, and the latest one is a long time away from the present. These addresses should not be mailed on the whole, but Huo Xiuxiu said that she feels that the places where the business deals are in rural areas Small county towns, rural areas and small county towns are the places with the least changes, especially in rural areas. Even if the address changes, the letter can be sent to the recipient.
After the letter was sent, she took the initiative to take charge of the mailbox at home, making others think she was in love. Waiting for her boyfriend ’s letter was actually to filter the letter. There was no response in the first two months, and the third month began There have been sporadic replies, which are basically puzzled.
The little girl has been insisting on reading the mailbox every morning at five o'clock.
The fifth month, the letter finally came.
Has only one line:
Do not mention the old things again.
She immediately knew that there was a door. This person must know the situation. Look at the address. The letter came from Beijing, a small shop in Liulichang. So he immediately packed his bags and came to the shop.
It was a heavy rainy day. The entire city of Sijiu was covered with a rain cap. The glaze factory was sparse. There were few people. Many facades closed early. She knocked on the door and saw that there was an old man in the room She smiled when she looked at her, showing the gold teeth in her mouth.
Huo Xiuxiu said: "That old man, whose name is Jin Wantang, did you remember anything?"
