Sun Xiaoli rested in the hospital until the afternoon. Seeing that she was fine, we returned to Xiyuan Apartment together.
Ding Yuan handled the case of Zhao Yalong, the bartender, and his girlfriend, who murdered people, and Xiong Nantian, who sold corpse poison. I'm not a formal police officer, so I don't need to intervene in such matters.
It has been confirmed that Xiong Nantian was rescued. The two policemen who woke up said in unison that the person who rescued Xiong Nantian was an old man with a dark face.
It was the old man who slapped them a few times and they fainted.
I guess that old man is most likely Xiong Nantian’s grandfather, the one named Xiong Qingyuan.
However, both Xiong Nantian and Xiong Qingyuan were listed as targets for investigation and tracking by the police.
On the way, sitting in the car, Sun Xiaoli and I discussed Jiang Jiuzhen's matter again.
After much thought, I think I still need to have a good talk with the landlord, Sun Yaowen.
But the last incident was not pleasant, and Sun Xiaoli still had a knot in her heart. Although she did not hate her father Sun Yaowen, she still felt disgusted when she thought of Sun Yaowen's drunken and untidy appearance.
She told me that she didn't expect her father Sun Yaowen to become like that.
As she was talking, Sun Xiaoli started crying, which made me a little at a loss, so I didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, until now, I still haven’t figured out whether Jiang Jiuzhen is missing or really dead.
However, Sun Xiaoli said with certainty that her grandfather was fine, he was just missing.
I asked Sun Xiaoli why she was so sure. Sun Xiaoli touched the jade gourd pendant hanging on her chest and said that she didn't know either. She said it was a feeling.
I didn't argue with her. In fact, I believe in my feelings.
Humans have six senses: vision, smell, taste, touch, hearing, and perception.
Perception is what we often call the sixth sense. Sometimes, the sixth sense is very effective.
"Brother Tianyi, do you think my grandfather is dead?" Sun Xiaoli asked me in a low voice.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. But your feeling may be right. Sometimes, people's feelings are really incredible... Let me tell you a story about induction, or the sixth sense. Perhaps the people in the story feel the same as you do now."
Sun Xiaoli nodded with interest and said, "Okay! Go ahead, Brother Tianyi."
This story is what I saw in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
The story tells of a mother and son in a remote rural area in the old days.
This mother, whose husband died early, never remarried and lived with her 12-year-old son. The two of them collected wild vegetables, fungi and other wild animals in the mountains and sold them outside the mountains to make a living.
One day, my mother went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, but she accidentally slipped down the cliff.
The cliff was very high and covered with vines. The mother had no protection when she fell. If it weren't for the vines hanging on the cliff that held her body, she would have been smashed to pieces and covered in blood.
Even so, the mother still broke one of her legs, with the bone sticking out from her flesh. It was horrible.
Fortunately, after her struggle, she climbed onto a stone platform that protruded slightly from the cliff.
It was on that stone platform that the mother was able to temporarily relieve the pain in her body and rest.
However, the stone platform is quite far from both the top and bottom of the cliff.
There is a layer of white fog on the top of the cliff, and even when the sunlight is weak, the top of the cliff cannot be seen. The bottom of the cliff is very deep, and looking down will give people a feeling of dizziness and fear.
The mother, who was at her wit's end, leaned against the stone wall and began to cry.
Her body rose and fell as she cried. The pain from her wounds and the blood that flowed out
, and also stimulating her nerves little by little.
The mother also tried to shout, but the forest was too vast and the cliff was too high. There were very few hunters in the mountains, so how could they possibly find the mother who was on the stone platform in the middle of the cliff
After shouting for a long time, the mother's throat was almost smoking, and her stomach felt like a ball of charcoal was stuffed in it, making her feel uncomfortable and burning.
Her consciousness gradually faded, her eyes became dizzy, and she finally fainted on the stone platform.
An unknown amount of time passed before the mother opened her eyes and was surprised to find that she was lying on a wooden bed at home.
Her injured thigh was fixed and bandaged.
Her twelve-year-old son was squatting in front of a paint-chip casserole, decocting medicine.
A strong medicinal aroma emanated from the casserole, and smoke continued to billow out from the bottom of the casserole.
Her son continued to wave his palm-leaf fan and blow air into the firewood.
The smoke choked her son's eyes and his tears kept flowing down, his eyes turned red.
"Baby, I... Why am I at home? Wasn't I in the mountains? My legs..."
The mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked with a sob.
When the son saw his mother wake up, a happy expression appeared on his face.
He put down the palm-leaf fan and sat down in front of his mother's bed.
The mother reached out and held her son's hand tightly.
The son then told his mother what happened that day.
It turned out that after his mother went up the mountain that day, the son was resting and taking a nap in the room. But when he slept until noon, his mother had not returned yet. This made him extremely anxious.
Logically speaking, the forest is not far away, and my mother should be able to come back early after picking mushrooms in the mountains.
The son waited for a while!
But while waiting, he felt uneasy, and his head felt dizzy and a little swollen.
The son closed his eyes, trying to relieve himself, but all he saw in his pupils was his mother's shadow.
He seemed to hear his mother's cry for help.
The son realized something was wrong and quickly found the village chief.
The village chief brought a dozen people and followed his son up the mountain.
But the mountain was too big, where could they find her? Even without a path, no one knew where the son's mother had gone.
For a moment, everyone was a little anxious.
The son was very worried, because he knew his mother must be in danger.
But he didn't know what kind of danger his mother encountered or where she was in danger.
The son, who was at his wit's end, cried and got angry at a tree.
Just as he lost his temper, the voice for help rang in his ears again, the voice was much weaker, but the son knew it was his mother's voice.
It seemed as if the sound came from not far away.
The son hurriedly took the villagers and went to the mountains to look for the source of the sound.
They originally thought that the sound was not far away, but more than a dozen people followed the son for more than two hours.
Finally, they found the cliff.
On the edge of the cliff, the son found his mother's basket.
At that time, the cliff was shrouded in mist and clouds, and it was obvious how dangerous it was.
The villagers all sighed and said that the son's mother had fallen to death and it was difficult for her to come back alive.
Some people even advised the son to go back and not stay here any longer as it was very dangerous.
But the son stared at the bottom of the cliff with a firm gaze. He told everyone that his mother was still alive and he was going to save her.
The village chief originally wanted to take everyone away because he felt that the son's mother had no hope of survival.
However, the son insisted on staying here, and he even asked for a rope from a villager.
"Kid, you're still young, you can't go down."
The old village chief stretched out his dry hand to stop his son.
But the son shook his head and said, "No, I want to go down. My mother is down there. She is still alive and she is waiting for me to save her. I know she must be alive."
The crowd couldn't persuade the son, so they allowed him to go down.
But no one in the village went down, because they knew the cliff was very high and dangerous. But they still helped tie the rope and tied it around the son's waist.
The son was only twelve years old, but in order to save his mother, he risked his life and finally got down to the middle of the cliff. He finally found his mother on the stone platform.
Later, needless to say, everyone worked together to get the mother and son up the cliff and brought them back to the village.
Could it be that this son really heard a voice when his mother was in danger
I’m afraid not.
Later, the son followed the sound and searched for more than two hours before he found the cliff. You have to know that there were no telephones or mobile phones at that time.
But the son unexpectedly found his mother.
Why
In my opinion, this is a kind of spiritual perception, that is, the sixth sense.
After I finished telling this story, Sun Xiaoli's eyes became even more surprised.
She murmured, "So, my feeling might be right. My grandfather might really be alive. No, he must be alive!"
I nodded and said, "Maybe. I think you should trust this feeling."
"This may be our motivation to find your grandfather. Besides, even if your grandfather really passed away, they still have to find his body and bury him. This is what relatives should do."
Sun Xiaoli's eyes showed a little more sadness, and he said, "Brother Tianyi, I understand. I will find my grandfather. I believe he is still alive."
Soon, half an hour later, we returned to Xiyuan Apartment.
At this time, the sun had sunk below the horizon and the sky became dark.
The street lamps on the roadside have already lit up a dim light, and the shadows of the pedestrians on the road are constantly stretched under the street lights, seeming to be shattered.
After I opened the door with my key, I sat on the sofa and drank a large glass of cold boiled water.
This morning, I entered the underground space of the old villa. It was really dangerous. My mental state was a little weak at the moment. My body was even more tired, and my arms and thighs were sore for a while.
Sun Xiaoli went into her own bedroom, probably because she was tired.
I leaned on the sofa, my eyelids were twitching, and I wanted to take a nap.
"Brother Tianyi, are you hungry? Are we going to eat tonight?"
When Sun Xiaoli came out, she changed into a beige pajamas, which made her look good and sexy.
I opened my eyes slightly and asked her, "Are you hungry?"
Sun Xiaoli said, "I'm not hungry. I was in the hospital earlier, and it was lunchtime, so Captain Ding bought some food for us. I ate a lot, and now I'm still full."
After hearing this, I said, "Then don't have dinner today. You can also take a good rest. You have worked hard today."
Sun Xiaoli rolled her eyes at me and said with a smile, "I'm not tired. How about I sit here with you and chat for a while?"
I was afraid that Sun Xiaoli would mention being my girlfriend again, so I quickly waved my hand and said, "No, no, no, we are all tired, let's go back to the bedroom and rest."
Sun Xiaoli pouted in dissatisfaction, her eyes revealing displeasure, and said angrily: "Are you so afraid of me? I'm not an evil ghost, and I won't eat you."
I said with a playful smile: "Xiao Li, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else, I'm just really too tired."
But just when Sun Xiaoli was about to retort me with words, there was a muffled sound "bang" coming from outside the window.
Immediately afterwards, there were several muffled sounds of "bang bang bang!"
