Chapter 111 Chapter 24: The People Behind the Scenes

I looked at Xiao Guang and Fan Li outside the boat, feeling anxious and wished I could run out, but Grandpa spoke neither fast nor slow, I just wished I had nowhere to use my energy.At this time, grandpa said something, which made me immediately dispel my anxiety, and turned to listen to him with all my attention.Grandpa's original name was Jin Senbin, but when he was in the Kuomintang, he used another name, and that name was Jin Shenbing. My eyes widened immediately when I heard this, isn’t the Golden God Soldier the leader of the Condor Troop, I’ve heard of it in Huoyan Mountain, Meili Snow Mountain, and Jinzhu Canyon, and there are even traces of them having been there.In the old China period, the Condor Troop had never been in direct conflict with other forces, and it was not at all like a fighting army. Later, the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan, and the information about the army was discovered by a special agent surnamed Qin, and the Condor Troop was leaked out. But the purpose of their team has always been a mystery.Now Grandpa took the initiative to talk about it, and the Condor Squad was related to my experience in the past few years, so I just listened to him quietly.

Jin Shenbing is indeed the pseudonym of Grandpa, who also led that army. After they wiped out Bao Xihan's nest of bandits in the Flame Mountain, they killed each other because of problems with the parasitic fish in the water.Grandpa had long been dissatisfied and bored, so he took the opportunity to hide in the crowd and stopped asking about the military.Grandpa said that he was only taking orders from the top KMT officials, but he never knew who was behind the army.The task of the troops was to find several silk books and night pearls, but they only found two night pearls and one silk book after trekking through mountains and rivers, and they didn't know what to do with them after handing them in.

But grandpa is an old Jianghu after all, he knows that such confidential things can't be asked or told, and will be silenced after completion, so after finding two luminous pearls and a silk book, he secretly hid one.Grandpa used ingenious methods to cover up the past at that time, and the specific methods will not be mentioned here, but the matter did not end after the disappearance of the Condor Troop. After the grandfather and grandmother met, when they decided to look for the Qihuangyin, some strange things happened at home, and the grandfather immediately understood that it was someone behind the scenes who came to get back the night pearl.Although many years have passed, the people behind the scenes have never had direct contact with grandpa. It is not clear whether he is fat, thin or young, so even if he came face to face, grandpa would not know that the danger was approaching.In order to protect themselves, grandpa and grandma planned a death, trying to deceive the people behind the scenes, and then went on the road to find the Qihuang seal, so the corpse found in the river was not grandpa's.In order to act realistically, it was inconvenient for grandma to disappear with grandpa, so she endured the pain and stayed at home.

A few days later, the grandfather sneaked back home and took away the sick father. Although the grandmother was reluctant, she could only tell the outside world that the family was too poor and that the father had already given it to an old couple who had no children.After grandpa left, for the sake of safety, he never contacted grandma again.There are too many interests involved in Qihuangyin, so grandma dare not publicize it. Anyone who knows this secret will not end well, so she has been keeping her mouth shut to everyone. According to the clues provided by grandma, grandpa traced to Daheishan in Dalian, but at that time, my father was dying and couldn't sustain it at all.Grandpa encountered a herd of wild boars in the mountains. He dealt with them vigorously, but accidentally let his father be attacked. At that moment, his father almost lost his breath.Grandpa finds the sewer, then finds this saltwater lake and meets the old woman.

The old woman seemed to have never left the boat. When the grandfather saw someone, the father complained that he was hungry again. The grandfather felt so sad that he couldn't let his father be a starving ghost, so he wanted to get on the boat to ask for something to eat.There were snakeheads in the water, but the old woman found them, so she asked the snakeheads to bring them over. Grandpa is a man who has seen the world, and he immediately understood that the old woman was not simple. She must be a strange person, and even Qi Huangyin might In the hand of the old woman. The old woman was very polite to her grandfather. She said that she knew where the Qihuangyin was, but it was not with her. She also said that although there was no Qihuangyin, she could save her father's life, but there was one condition, that is, Grandpa must stay here to serve him. She, she couldn't leave until she asked him to leave.Grandpa immediately agreed without thinking, saving his father was the most important thing, let alone staying here for 10,000 years, he would be willing to die here, not to mention that the old lady knew the clue of Qihuangyin.

Even so, the old woman did not let her grandpa see how she treated her father. Grandpa had nothing to do at this time, so he had to let the old woman and father stay in the same room.Grandpa waited outside the door for a whole day and night. He wanted to break in many times, but he was a very committed person, completely different from today's people who lack integrity.After waiting and waiting, grandpa's hair turned gray, and finally a voice came from the quiet room, and the old woman sent his father out.Father walked out by himself, completely different from his lifeless appearance the day before, his whole body was full of life.

Grandpa hugged his father excitedly, but at that moment, he felt that the father in his arms was not his son.After the old woman came out, although the door curtain was still hanging, through the light, Grandpa vaguely saw an adult standing behind the curtain.Grandpa looked at the son in his arms, that appearance was indeed a son, even the scars were the same, but he just had a special feeling that his son was no longer a son.But in the final analysis, this is a feeling after all, the father really exists in the arms of grandpa, so grandpa didn't say anything, he just thought it was his own illusion.

The old woman did not ask her father to stay, and it was impossible for the grandfather to let his father accompany him selfishly, so he asked the old woman to allow him to send his father out of the mountain.The old lady was not suspicious of her employer, and said that letting her grandpa stay was not inseparable, but just taking care of her food and daily life every day.Later, my grandfather thought of a way, entrusted my father to a fellow countryman, and sent him back to Guangxi.As for how grandma told the people nearby how her father came back, I won’t explain here. It can be said that the old man who adopted his father died, or it could be said that the old man who adopted his father abused him and he ran back by himself, but what exactly did I say? Can't remember anymore.

Grandpa said that at first he just felt that his father had changed, maybe it was just his own illusion.However, when his father was sent out of Daheishan, he was always calm and didn't talk much, and he was not at all like the usual lively him.Because my father maintained a happy attitude even when he was sick and dying, but now he has improved, but he has become cold, which is completely unlike his father's character.Although Grandpa thought it was unbelievable, he still had an extra mind, so he wanted to test his father's memory.But my father passed all the tests on my grandfather, and my father remembered all the memories they shared, so my grandfather dispelled his doubts. He was just curious about how the old woman cured his father, but the old woman never told him. How did you do it.

Grandpa stayed here for decades, and gradually forgot the years, and he didn't remember when, the old woman suddenly recruited a middle-aged woman to serve her, and that middle-aged woman was next to me The one who couldn't stop crying.The grandfather said that the middle-aged woman was still very young when she came in. She and a friend came here to give birth, but the child was born with a deformity.The middle-aged woman kept crying, and the nun in the nunnery passed the matter to the old woman. The old woman made it a condition that her son be cured, and then she must stay here too.But the old woman may also be related to a woman. She allowed the middle-aged woman to take the child home to raise her for eight years, and then return here on the third day of the Lunar New Year eight years later, otherwise her child would die soon.After the middle-aged woman and her friend went back, the old woman also asked the middle-aged woman's friend not to disclose the matter, otherwise she would die immediately.

The old woman is not just good at saying, she can indeed do it, because she controlled the snakeheads in the entire Haihe River. At that time, the two women believed that the old woman was a god of the Great Black Mountain, so they dared not disobey at all.When I heard this, my brain suddenly felt hot. What Grandpa said sounded a little familiar, and I looked at the crying middle-aged woman, and it seemed a little familiar.Thinking about it carefully, isn't this the experience of Zhuo Hai's mother? Zhuo's mother is probably the only one who can hide her child with her friends. It turns out that Zhuo's mother is really not dead! Hearing this, I hurriedly asked the middle-aged woman, who was taken aback for a moment, and said that she was indeed Zhuo's mother.I screamed in my heart, Zhuo Hai must be thirty years old, but his mother is so young, it seems that when Zhuo Hai was born, she was very young, or she was an old woman.Thinking of this, I glanced at the door curtain inside. The person behind the curtain looked a little weird. I don’t know if it was because of the angle. I always felt that the person behind the curtain didn’t look like an old lady. Xiaoguang and Fan Li outside the boat found a small wooden boat, and Xu Shaode followed. Maybe he heard that I was on the boat, and he was afraid that I would hide the good things first, so he hurriedly let Xiaoguang and the others row the boat. If conditions permit, he will definitely fly over with a rocket.I saw that they were coming, so my heart was at ease, so I listened wholeheartedly to listening to Grandpa finish the matter. Grandpa was very excited when he heard me say that grandma was still alive, and kept his fake death a secret. I said that since the old lady said he could leave, why don't we go back and see grandma together.However, grandpa refused strangely, saying absolutely not, because the Qihuang seal had not been found, and he would never go back, but looking at grandpa's expression, I felt that he had other reasons. "Grandpa, do you know an American?" Seeing that Grandpa refused to go back, I wanted to ask him how he knew Albert, a foreigner. "I've seen a lot of foreigners before, but in the past few decades, it's hard to see even living people, let alone foreigners." Grandpa didn't know why. Grandpa's answer was beyond my expectation. According to him, he shaved off all his hair for cleanliness, so he looked like a monk.I think he is the monk Albert is talking about, but he insists that he has never seen a foreigner. I am confused. It is impossible for Albert to die and lie to me. Then the old monk he saw back then is not Who would grandpa be?
