I was a little overwhelmed, but Xiangyu should have noticed that something was wrong, so he pulled me and walked straight out without saying anything.
Xiangyu walked very fast, almost at the pace of a trot. I was pulled by him and could hardly keep up with her pace.
After walking briskly for about an hour, we finally returned to where we parked our car earlier.
"Zhou Cang, hurry up, get in the car and leave." Xiang Yu urged urgently.
However, my mind was still immersed in the back figure that had just flashed before my eyes. I responded to Xiang Yu blankly: "Okay," and then opened the car door mechanically.
Xiangyu probably felt that something was wrong with my mood, so she stepped aside from the car and came to my side and said, "Zhou Cang, you look a little tired, so I'd better drive."
She said, without waiting for my answer, she sat directly into the cab.
When I saw this, I didn't refuse. I silently walked to the front of the passenger compartment and opened the door.
It was already dark, so there were very few cars along the way, and every car was traveling very fast. Under the guidance of the navigation system, we returned to the town in almost two-thirds of the day.
As we got off the highway, Xiangyu said to me as if he was relieved: "Zhou Cang, we almost couldn't come back just now."
Her words made my body instantly tremble, as if all my soul and soul came back.
"Xiangyu, what did you see?" I turned around and asked.
Xiangyu slowed down the car, but never answered my question. He came over for a while and then spoke with some trembling: "Just when you were approaching the bronze ring gate, I suddenly found that there were people all around behind you.
A lot of sniper rifles.”
"You mean, that ferocious old man just saved my life." I said, feeling a little incredible.
How powerful is the power behind this organization? They even have sniper rifles.
"Zhou Cang," Xiangyu suddenly stepped on the brakes, then turned to look at me and said with a sad look on his face: "Our opponent is stronger than I thought. This road is not easy to follow."
"If it's not easy to go, then don't go. You don't have to go this way." I said with a somewhat arrogant attitude.
"Zhou Cang, you are different from me. If I give up, the most I will do is give up the astrolabe that belongs to our tribe. Furthermore, even if I don't stop or participate, my opponent may not be able to find it.
That astrolabe. But you are different. There must be something special about your family that makes the opponent keep holding on to the Zhou family. Your grandparents, father and mother are all working hard, but they still can't get rid of this kind of life.
, if you give up now, then your next generation, and the next generation after that, will have to live like you, and besides, there is no way you can give up now." Xiangyu said earnestly.
"Then what should I do? In fact, I don't even know what I am doing now. Along the way, everything I do seems to have been arranged by someone in advance. I am just in the hands of others.
A chess piece. The cruelest thing is that I have to wait until the game is over before I know which chess piece I am." My mood was a bit low, and my tone was not very good.
"So, the most important thing now is to figure out whether you have any special identity, and what is special about the Zhou family. Only by understanding these two points can you infer the opponent's purpose, and then based on the opponent's
The purpose is to carry out a counterattack, rather than being led by others." After Xiangyu finished speaking, he started the car and began to walk forward slowly.
I answered her, but in my heart I agreed with her suggestion.
But how can I get this information? At present, it seems impossible to get this from my grandparents.
Suddenly, I had an idea and thought that there might be another way to go, that is, the dozens of diaries in my father's study and the paintings he left for me.
Now that I think about it carefully, my father may have wanted to tell me something from a very early age, but he must have been under some pressure that I haven't heard of yet, so he couldn't tell me face to face, so he could only use such an obscure way.
.
Also, my father has always emphasized that I should imitate those mysterious words. There must be a certain purpose, otherwise he would not have told me so many times.
It seems that the breakthrough in this matter should start from the father, rather than looking for grandparents or anyone else.
Thinking of this, the heart that I originally planned to destroy suddenly gained momentum again.
I looked at the star-studded night sky outside the car and thought about my father. I didn’t know where he was now or whether he was still alive. But whether he was by my side or not, he would always be like the brightest star in the night sky.
Like the stars, they have been guiding me forward.
I sat in the car in a daze for who knows how long. Anyway, I felt like my body was sitting in the car and my soul had flown to nowhere.
Suddenly, Xiangyu braked again. I looked up and found that I was already in front of the Zhou family's old house.
The Zhou family's old house is an old-fashioned building, so when sleeping at night, the door is locked inside, so the door can only be opened from inside the house and cannot be opened from outside.
I looked at my phone. It was already past one o'clock in the evening, and my grandparents were probably asleep. I couldn't help but wake them up at this time to open the door for me.
The strange thing is that I didn't come back so late. Why didn't grandma call me?
Thinking of this, the back of the woman in the nursing home flashed before my eyes again. Is she really grandma?
I shook my head vigorously for a while, warning myself not to think nonsense.
But I am still a little scared, because if I go in later, grandma is not in the old house, what should I do?
Just when I was hesitant and holding the phone tightly in my hand, not daring to make a call, the door of the old house suddenly opened from the inside with a "squeak".
I took a closer look and was so happy that I almost jumped up. The person who opened the door was grandma.
Grandma is staying in the old house, so the woman in the nursing home is someone else.
It’s true to me, there are a lot of people with similar faces in this world, not to mention that they just look similar from the back, and in that kind of environment, maybe it’s just my hallucination.
"Grandma, why aren't you sleeping so late?" I hooked my grandma's arm a bit exaggeratedly, with a playful smile on my face.
"You kid didn't come home, how could I go to bed?" Grandma said with a smile and knocked on my head.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, it was past eleven o'clock when we were shopping, so we hurried back from the city and made you worry." Xiangyu said with an apologetic look.
"What's the matter? My wife is old and often can't sleep at night. It doesn't matter if it's a little later. You guys have fun, it doesn't matter if you play for a while longer." Grandma said, holding Xiangyu's hand.
"Grandma, don't wait for me anymore, otherwise I will feel bad." I looked at grandma and said with a feeling of regaining something, so what I said may be a bit emotional.
"You kid, if I go to bed, who will guard the door for you? If you come back so late and let your grandpa know, you will be scolded." Grandma patted my hand and said.
"At worst, I'll just climb over the wall and get in. Anyway, I don't know how many times I've climbed over our wall." I said, smiling a little proudly.
"So, your grandfather also broke several of his rulers." Grandma said, exchanging glances with Xiangyu, and then they both laughed at the same time.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about your lies," I said angrily.
"Okay, I won't tease you kid anymore. There is a late night snack for you in the kitchen. Go to bed as soon as possible after eating. My old lady won't disturb you anymore." Grandma said, walking towards the back hall with a smile.
Xiangyu and I looked at each other, both of us felt quite embarrassed.
