【49】The last words of the old blind man, the secret under the deep pool

Is the second-rate boy refusing to go to work in the town government because he wants to stay at home with Li Cuicui?

In fact, it is not all. There is actually another reason why he doesn't go to work. This reason is about a secret, a secret that an old blind man was willing to tell him before he died...

That day, after the old blind man calculated that his time was almost over, he called the second-rate boy who was only fifteen years old. "Little cockroach [This is the nickname only the old blind man can call him] Old man, I don't have much time anymore. If nothing unexpected happens, old man, I will leave tonight, and you will become a person in the future."

"Old man, don't you joke. Didn't you tell me to take me back here before, but you planned to settle here and see me get married and have children and grow old slowly? Now I'm only fifteen years old, you are not very old yet, so stop talking nonsense..." At that time, I didn't know that the old blind man was really leaving, and she laughed and joked that the old blind man was not very old yet.

The old blind man at that time did not pay attention to the second-rate jokes, but continued to say slowly; "Old man, I was born in a turbulent era and lost my home at the age of six or seven. I have been wandering alone since I was six or seven.

Although I occasionally join the organization and other people's families to learn something, the final result is often left alone. In the past ten years after I picked you up, I have a long-term partner and a relatively stable home.

Little cockroach, I picked you up and said that I wanted to raise a child, fortunately, when I was old, I would give me a care and see you off. It would be better to say that I was really lonely and scared at that time. I urgently needed someone to accompany me, let me complain, and make me feel that I was not just a lonely and poor person..."

I don’t know why the old blind man suddenly became so emotional. The second-rate man pulled the corner of his mouth and said to him angrily. "Old man, to be honest, I actually hope that you didn’t pick me up at the beginning, because then I won’t have to accompany you to escape everywhere and wander around over the years. It’s really hard to wander with you!!"

Still ignoring the second-rate words, the old blind man still said to himself, "Little cockroach, do you know, I should have died long ago, but you were too young at that time. I was afraid that if I left early, you, a child, would find it difficult for me to live in this era, so I gritted my teeth and lived for so many more years."

"No, old man, what's going on today? Why are you talking nonsense? You eat, eat, drink, jump and jump? Why did you suddenly say something like you're explaining your funeral??" The second-rate man, who finally realized something was wrong with the old blind man, immediately began to touch the old blind man's forehead to see if he had a fever and became confused and started to talk lies.

Without slapping the second-rate hand like usual, the old blind man continued to say that he was not stopped. "Now you are fifteen years old and can work in the production team. With the things I taught you since I was a child, I believe that you can survive well even if I leave, so old man, I want to leave today, and you must be well in the future..."

"Old man, old man, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Don't talk nonsense? Do you know that you are so scary??" When I touched the old blind man, he didn't have a fever, but his body temperature was dropping rapidly, and his forehead was already cold, so the second-rate man was scared at this time.

However, the old blind man still did not answer his words, but continued to say, "But before leaving, I am going to give you my life savings so that you or your descendants can live a little more freely in the future..."

"Old man, stop talking nonsense. Tell me how to treat you quickly. Your body is cooling quickly now. It will be very dangerous if you continue like this..." The old blind man at that time was a barefoot doctor in the village, so he didn't know how to find other people, so he could only reach out to shake the old blind man, hoping to shake him up and then tell him how to rescue him.

It was useless at all. The old blind man continued to say, as if he was in a hurry. "I didn't save any money in my life, but during the civil war, I happened to join the other side of the camp. At that time, I happened to be in charge of the paid supplies. Finally, when I retreated, I won't say much about the matter.

Anyway, little cockroach, what I want to say next, you must remember carefully for me. In the deep pool in the second half of the river, there are treasures, gold bricks with more than a dozen carts, large silver ingots with more than twenty carts, and some miscellaneous gold and silver jewelry.

But you can't go down directly because when they evacuated, they put two cannibal things into the river. If you want to take those treasures, you have to kill those two things first. I believe you can use your brain to solve the things I taught you since I was a child.

Okay, old man, my time is up. Little cockroach Thank you for letting me experience the joy of being a father in the last decade of my life. Thank you for coming to my world, making my once dark and lonely world bright and with laughter. I'm leaving, the little cockroach lives well!!"

After saying these words, the old blind man closed his eyes and lie gently on the recliner, and then said goodbye to the world.

Putting away the memories in my mind, the next morning, after having breakfast at home as usual, I took Li Cuicui to the cowshed to pick up the cowshed, and then to herd the cattle by the river.

However, after receiving the cattle, he did not go to the places where he often went to herd cattle, but changed the route and suddenly turned to the smallest place where he found the big catfish last time and killed the big catfish.

Seeing that the second-rate boy was taking the wrong route, Li Cuicui immediately asked him in confusion, "Husband, are we taking the wrong path? This is the way to the second half of the river. If there is such a dangerous place, why don't we go there..."

"What we are going to today is that place. I have a secret under the big pool. I dare not go down from now on. Now the big catfish has been dealt with, so I have to go down and deal with the secret quickly, otherwise I will be afraid that I will not be able to find them in the future..." Li Cuicui was very family-oriented, so the second-rate didn't hide much from her, but she didn't tell her everything.

"Honey, although I don't know what your secret is, are you really sure that the big catfish under the water has been dealt with? I'm a little worried..." Li Cuicui trusted second-rate boy very much, but she was also worried that it was unsafe under the water, because the big catfish I saw last time was so scary.

"There are only two big catfishes, and they are both males. They will not reproduce, and our local catfish are only a dozen pounds and they cannot match them at all, so don't worry, it's safe now, and I promise you that you will never go in again after this time..." The two big catfishes at the time saw that they were both males, so he directly used this matter to comfort Li Cuicui.
