To be suddenly slapped from behind was, for me, a very frightening thing.

You know, we just saw, in my father's bed, no one, that is to say, he is not at home, so who is this person who suddenly slapped him in the back?

Terrified, I craned my neck to look over my shoulder.

"Why did you come to my room in the middle of the night if you aren't going to sleep?"

As I turned my head, I heard voices.

This voice was very familiar. It belonged to his father.

I turned and saw it was him.

At this moment, my father, bare-chested and confused, looked at me.

For a moment, I didn't know how to explain myself. I was so scared that I curled up into a ball, not knowing what to do.

When Don saw me like this, he pulled me back into the room without a word.

After returning home, I became even more doubtful.

There was only one way to get back to the village from the tomb of Old Wang. If it really was Father who interrupted our summoning ceremony, then there was no way he would be at home right now.

But on the way back, we didn't see a single person, and we were so fast that there was no reason for Father to get home before us.

From this, it could be determined that it was not his father who had done the deed.

Tang Ran was confused as he said, "What is going on? What the hell is going on?" At this time, even he could not understand what was going on.

And I understand his doubts.

He smiled bitterly and said, "There is only one way back to the village. My father is at home now, so there is only one possibility. The one who interrupted the ceremony is not my father."

When I said that.

Tang Ran was even more puzzled now.

He immediately said, "But in this matter, there are only two people who are worried about being exposed. One of them is your father, and the other one, is Old Wang. But Old Wang died, so the only person who worries about being exposed is your father."

Although Tang Ran's deduction was very reasonable, judging from his father's safe and sound home, it seemed that his plan had failed.

I immediately sighed and said, "But you also saw that the situation is slightly different from what you imagined."

Tang Ran scratched his head before saying helplessly, "Right now, your father isn't willing to tell you the truth, but before this old man can explain it clearly, he broke down. If you want to know more, you can only find out from your neighbors."

I knew what he meant, but it was too late now.

At once I sent him to the guest room to sleep, and I lay down on the bed to rest.

After tormenting myself for an entire day, I was tired as well. There was something on my mind. I tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling into a deep sleep.

Time passed quickly.

On the second day, I felt more and more convinced towards the solution that Donglan had told me about last night.

When I got up and saw that my father had picked a lot of vegetables from the backyard, I thought he was going to cook for us in the morning.

Unexpectedly, he hurried out with a bunch of vegetables. As for where he went, I don't know.

Thus, I had to personally cook.

After finishing his meal, it was already around 8 o'clock. Coincidentally, his father had just returned.

At dinner, when I saw my father, I remembered the things he had kept from me.

So after breakfast, the two of us hurried out of the house.

Unlike the city, the countryside was a rural area where almost everyone in the village knew each other. Family members and family members were always talking to each other, even if the two families didn't have the slightest connection, they would still know each other's family background. After all, in the countryside, there were no other entertainment activities.

What happened in my house was not a small matter. Thus, it would definitely cause quite a sensation in the village.

Besides, our village isn't very big. I know about most of the people in the village, so I think that there is a high chance that someone knows about what happened in our family.

At this point, my first thought was to ask my grandmother.

However, I feel that this matter is not a good thing. Even if I were to ask her, she would not speak of it.

When I thought about it, I remembered a person who was about the same age as my grandmother. They had a good relationship, and the two of them often called each other sisters, so according to seniority, when I met her, I would call her Old Aunt.

This old aunt was already over 80 years old. When she was young, she gave birth to a pair of children. Her old wife died in a car accident at such a young age.

Now that their children had grown up, they all had the ability to work in the provincial capital. Having a house and a car was very grand.

It was just that the old aunt was old and had lived in the countryside all her life.

She had lived in this small village for her entire life, and she had become familiar with every blade of grass and tree in the village, so she had insisted on living at home. And just like that, she became a lonesome old man.

When I thought of her, I said to Tang Ran beside me, "I know who I should ask about this."

Immediately, I led Tang Ran to the town. There was no supermarket in the village and only a small shop.

When I got to the market, I bought some of the old aunt's favorite sweets as a present for our meeting.

Don Ran thought that the person I wanted to ask was in the town, so when I suggested returning to the village, he showed some astonishment.

"Aren't we going to ask for more information? Why are we going back again?" he asked me, puzzled.

Then I explained to him that the person we were going to ask about was in the village, except that this old aunt was old and I, as a junior, wanted to bring her something to eat.

Hearing my words, Tang Ran felt a bit helpless. However, he could only listen to me.

When he returned to the village, it was already around ten in the morning.

When we got to the old aunt's house, we saw that she had already walked around the village and had just come back. She had collected a lot of dry wood for cooking today.

Although her living conditions were getting better, she could afford to hire a nanny, use an electromagnetic stove, or even gas.

However, she still insisted on lighting the fire and cooking. Many of the old people in the village did the same thing. They had persisted on for their entire lives, sitting in front of the stove, and then followed a handful of dried wood into the kitchen.

If the stove was placed in the clean kitchen, the food would be turned into gas and an electromagnetic stove. For them, life would be incomplete.

"Old Auntie." As soon as I entered, I called out.

Hearing my voice, she immediately put on a smile, turned around and looked over at me with her back bent.

"It's a little boy, why did you think of coming to see my old aunt? What's the matter?" Old Aunt said to me very warmly.

I quickly grabbed a stool for her to sit on and said to her, "Old Aunt, this is your favorite dessert. Do you want to try it or do you want to try it?"

See me like this.

The old aunt couldn't help but be stunned.

Her hands were trembling. She looked at me and her lips were trembling.

I didn't think she would be like this, so I asked, "What's the matter, Auntie?"

She shed some tears and her withered hands quickly wiped them away. She immediately said, "I'm fine, I'm fine …" You still remember old auntie, she was so happy that she didn't know what to say. "

I nodded. "Of course. When I was young, I came to your old aunt's house to eat. At that time, you said that this was your favorite snack. When I grew up, I wanted to buy it for you." I said with a smile. The scenes from the past seemed to have appeared before my eyes.

Hearing this, the old aunt couldn't help but break down into a smile. "You can remember, now that the young man is grown up and the old aunt is old, I wonder if I can see you get married and have children. At least the old aunt has some hope." she said, smiling.

Seeing how happy she was, I pretended to smile, but my mind was tangled up on how I should ask the old aunt about my father.

At this moment, Tang Ran saw that I didn't get into the main topic for a long time.

Therefore, he used his elbow and very carefully nudged me once, reminding me to quickly get to the bottom of this.

When I was about to speak.

The old aunt said earnestly, "Little boy, I am very happy that you are able to come visit me. However, there are some things I can't help you with, so please forgive me."

I started.

I just came here, didn't say anything, and she said such words, could she have guessed what I came here for?

Immediately, I asked, "Old Aunt, why did you suddenly say this …?" "I don't have any other intentions …"

"Little boy, that's good, I know your purpose in coming here, but I can't tell you because knowing these things won't benefit you at all, so just listen to your old aunt. As an adult, just let the lord do it himself, don't get involved, okay?" She touched my head and said to me.

When I heard this, I was stunned.

How she knew, I wondered.

"You know what I came to see you for, aunt?" I immediately asked in astonishment.

When the aunt heard my question, she nodded subconsciously and said, "You know, you're here to ask about your father's matter, right?"

I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything. It seemed that the older Jiang is, the more shrewd one would be. These words made sense. The thoughts that I had been thinking about for a long time were actually seen through by her with a single glance.

"You don't need to be surprised. These days, a lot of things have happened in your family, and you're the one busy with many things. How could you have the time to look at an old woman like me?" You don't need to be surprised, a lot of things have happened in your family these days, and you're the one busy with a lot of things.

As she said this, she passed the dessert to me and said, "Take it. In the future, if you want to eat something delicious, come and find my aunt. My aunt will also give it to you."

After saying that, she walked into the house with her walking stick and closed the door.

Seeing her like this, I immediately chased after her. When I opened the door, I said, "Aunt, at this moment, only you can help me. Can you tell me the truth?"

She didn't come out to tell me these things, but said, "Little boy, don't make things difficult for my aunt. You must believe that my aunt doesn't let you know these things because it's not good for you to know.

Saying that, no matter what I'm asking, there's no movement from inside.
