Eight hundred and eleventh chapter night visit (3)
Just as Chen Chu became more and more shocked the more he thought about it, his grandmother was combing her big white hair and said in a reminiscent of her tone: "I didn't expect to see her again. Chu Yi, this is not an ordinary cat. I can read from your grandfather's feelings for Lao Tu. Lao Tu must have experienced many things with him, all of which I don't know."
It seems that grandma’s memories are fragmentary, so Chen Chu simply followed such a scattered conversation, grasping the question and asking what he wanted to know: "Grandma, how long has Lao Tu been with grandpa?"
"Didn't your father tell you?"
"Dad told me that since he was sensible, Lao Tu has been with his grandfather."
"It seems that your grandfather hasn't told him much about Lao Tu. I think it's right, Lao Tu is the most mysterious member of our family."
Chen Chu stared in shock. Grandma's words might mean telling Chen Chu, "When Lao Tu didn't have your father, Lao Tu followed your grandfather." If you say so, Lao Tu has lived for more than 30 years: "Grandma, how many years has Lao Tu lived!"
"I don't know either. Anyway, I know your grandfather and follow him after he got old map. It has not changed for so many years. It was not until you were born that Lao Tu died."
Chen Chu swallowed and asked one after another: "Grandma, what you said is a bit messy. Can you tell me a secret about Laotu? Otherwise, a grandfather would tell you a story about Laotu." Judging from the way grandma tells her piece-in-one way, Chen Chu has concluded that grandma has not told grandma too much about Laotu. What grandma knows about Laotu is also the ones she noticed in her life with her.
Grandma pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there are many things. For example, if I accidentally lost the key, Lao Tu will definitely find it back. When I gave birth to your father, the dog I raised downstairs could scare it as soon as it barked... I told her that when a dog saw Lao Tu, he was more afraid than a mouse or a cat!"
Chen Chu's mouth was tilted when he heard it. These things really couldn't happen to ordinary cats, but this was not the key. Chen Chu interrupted grandma: "Grandma, tell me, do you think this is the cat I didn't see at the beginning!"
"Well, I feel this way. Because, the person that the cat is most familiar with may be me! It gave birth to a completely different person than an ordinary cat! An ordinary cat gave birth to a hair-loss mouse. And Lao Tu gave birth to..." Thinking of this, grandma's expression changed. It was a look of lingering fear: "The surviving black hair that was born was born was like a pocket kitten! It was magical, but it was not to mention that it was very likable. The problem was that the other two came out were bloody and bloody! It seemed to have been eaten by something. At that time, I scared me, and your grandfather was obviously shocked. Later, he went to deal with the two dead, and I held the kitten. Logically, the born kitten must have followed my mother, but your grandfather asked me to look at the kitten for a night and didn't let Lao Tu get close."
Chen Chu suddenly thought of a shark! The shark will eat other cells of the same luan to provide nutrition to himself. This is the best proof of the shark's nature being cruel. Grandma's story made Chen Chu have a fantasy in his mind. After the three cats that Lao Tu had conceived reached the shark's styling stage in his belly, the strongest one would eat the rest of the weak ones. Grandpa finally refused to let Lao Tu get close to the surviving kitten, maybe to stop Lao Tu from eating the kitten!
If it was really what Chen Chu guessed, this animal was so cruel, absolutely unheard of cruelty. This also shows why the kitten suddenly disappeared in the end, and grandpa might have really handed him over to someone to raise.
"It's such an extremely cruel creature. Why do you follow Grandpa so calmly?" Thinking of this, Chen Chu looked at Dabai. He is now basically sure that Dabai is the kitten that disappeared. "Who did Grandpa give Dabai to these decades? Why did that person let Dabai appear in Grandpa's grave at this time?"
When this question appeared in my mind, another purpose of seeing my grandmother tonight suddenly emerged. "Can Master Gu's move? If it's three years since Master Gu appeared in my life... When he appeared, he brought Dabai and arranged Dabai in front of his grandfather's grave. Dabai should have received a certain kind of information!" What is this information? It's actually easy to judge. Chen Chu immediately asked his grandmother: "Grandma, did grandpa often play the song "In the Rain" to Laotu."
"Yes, how do you know?"
Chen Chu told his grandmother about the fact that he played the song in front of his grandfather’s grave and led to the truth.
Grandma fell into deep thought, but when faced with such a strange thing, all the warmth in her eyes that Chen Chu could not understand at all.
Chen Chu lowered his head and frowned, "Does this song have any special meaning?" Dabai was able to receive Chen Chu, who was the one he wanted to follow, probably because Chen Chu went there many times to play this song "I need someone to convey this consciousness to Dabai, Master Gu? Or is it because Grandpa was handing over to Master Gu to do something."
All of the above are Chen Chu's guess. If you want to make sure, you have to ask about Master Gu: "Grandma, does grandpa have a friend named Gu? He is much younger than grandpa. He may not come to our house often, but he will talk to grandpa for some special questions or say that when they are talking to them, grandpa will deliberately send you away."
"The surname is Gu... No! Your grandfather doesn't have many friends, I know them all, and there is absolutely no surname Gu."
The disappointed expression on Chen Chu's face was revealed in an instant. If you were not sure about this, although it did not mean that all the guesses were wrong, grandpa might have handed them to another person, but there were two more routes to find. Being able to learn everything about Dabai when you find Master Gu is definitely the best situation for Chen Chu.
"However, when you mentioned that every time you appeared, your grandpa would deliberately send me away. There was one person who told him to talk to him alone."
Suddenly, Chen Chu rekindled: "What does he look like?"
"What you said is wrong with you, I feel that I may be a few years older than your grandfather at that time. I don't know what his surname is, and your grandfather never told me. He is always wearing a black windbreaker and a pair of thick leather boots, and his voice is very low. He has a face with a national character and his expression is always serious..."
Grandma still had to continue to describe it, but the more Chen Chu heard it, the more something was wrong: "He... didn't shake his hands when walking?"
Grandma paused and then made a sudden realization in the next second: "Yes! That's it. I said that it feels a bit weird when he walks. You only realized that he doesn't walk like us, and his hands will sway slightly with our pace."
Chen Chu felt chill in his heart, "Isn't this Master Gu?" However, grandma's description of Master Gu looks exactly the same as that of Master Chen Chu knew! In other words, he has not changed in the past few decades!
"You suddenly asked what such a person does? Does it have anything to do with Lao Tu?"
Chen Chu shook his head and nodded again, his expression was very complicated: "Grandma, I'm trying to figure out some things. But it seems very troublesome now."
Grandma stared at Chen Chu, and then looked at Dabai who was holding her in her arms for a moment: "This... needs your grandfather's past to figure it out?"
"Um."
Grandma suddenly hugged Dabai and stood up: "I'll give you something, maybe that can help you."
Chen Chu did not sit here and wait, but followed his grandmother into the inner room.
Grandma took out a metal box in a suitcase under the bed: "Your grandpa had the habit of writing diaries when he was young, and he stopped writing after getting married."
Chen Chu was immediately overjoyed: "It would be great to have this!"
"He didn't let me see it. I was itchy for years, but I kept my promise to him. Your grandfather is so weird! He never asked me for anything. Who knew that he begged me two things before he died. He asked me to keep the box for him to keep, and even though I asked me to keep it, I didn't let me see it."
"Grandma, you really haven't opened it secretly before?" Chen Chu was a little suspicious. He had some understanding of his grandmother's personality. Although he seemed noble when he was young, he listened to his father's story. Grandma was a tomboy back then. If she was really interested, she would definitely take it out and read it.
Chen Chu's words make sense.
Grandma said helplessly: "Damn old man, I still have a hand." After that, she handed the box to Chen Chu.
After taking it, Chen Chu looked down and saw it! He was stunned: "Why is there no place to open it? Grandma, did you take it wrong? It's like a brick."
"Your grandpa said that his diary was put here. On the first day of the New Year, if you open it, remember to tell grandma what your grandpa did when he was young."
Chen Chu held the iron box with his expression as if he was swallowing a hundred earthworms.
