Out of the lion

Suddenly Jiang Chu realized something was wrong, and looked up at Li Mo in surprise.

Li Mo sighed lightly.

As a young man, I seldom pay attention to the family tree.After living in Huaxi Town, Li Mo had never seen a genealogy at all, and never thought that the three words "Li Qishu" would be on his family tree.

After being adopted by Mrs. Li, he never had the word genealogy in his head.

This time, Steward Xu returned to Huaxi Town with grandma's ashes, which made Li Mo suddenly realize that grandma's identity might not be that simple.

He still didn't hold back, and walked into the ruined yard.

The yard was dilapidated, no one dared to go in and clean it, and it was covered with thick dust everywhere.However, the banyan tree still grows very well, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun.

The inner room in the courtyard, the door is not locked.

It seems that it has long expected that someone will walk into it.

The decoration of the inner room made Li Mo's heart ache.

It... was restored one-to-one according to the furnishings in his home.

Everything is not a coincidence, it is intentional.

He saw the family tree on the dusty mahogany table.

The family tree is covered with thick dust, and it seems that it has not been opened for many years.

Why doesn't grandma open it?It must be because I have a heavy knot in my heart and I don’t want to think about it, right?

He saw his own name in the genealogy, and also saw his grandma's name - Li Qishu.

Li Qishu, named Qi Shu when she was unmarried, took her husband's surname after marriage, henceforth the name Li Qishu came into being.

Li Mo remembered that when he was a child, he asked his mother why everyone had grandma, but he had neither grandma nor grandpa.

Mom said that grandpa went to find grandma.

What about grandma?

Grandma turned into a butterfly and flew away.

Adults at that time liked to describe death as "turning into a butterfly and flying away".

They all thought grandma passed away?Or use this word to block the child's mouth?
What happened in the past that caused grandma to leave Huaxi Town and return only after she died?
The catastrophe ten years ago separated Li Mo from his family.Now, probably only Xu Guanjia knows what happened back then.

Li Mo took the genealogy and returned to the defeated courtyard.

The unlocked door was actually Grandma's intention, right?She handed over the choice to Li Mo.If he is unwilling to reveal the secret, he can choose to ignore it.If he is willing to go to the secret, he has never been fortified.

When Li Mo walked into the inner room again, he saw Steward Xu standing in front of the altar with a solemn expression, and lit three incense sticks.

"Old Xu, you are back." Li Mo's voice was very clear in the quiet room.

The mood manager walked towards Li Mo, "Son, I don't want you to know the past, it's my selfishness. Because... I hope you are safe."

"This time I went back to Huaxi Town. Looking at Huaxi Town, which has changed beyond recognition, I feel very heavy."

"I think, like your grandma, I should leave the choice to you."

He looked at the family tree in Li Mo's hands, "I think you should have made your choice."

"Yes." Li Mo's heart is firm.

Whether it's for a safe and smooth future with Lin Xiaoxi, or for the family members who died, he has to choose to look directly at the past, even if it will bring abnormal pain.

The butler of the thread took out a maroon purse, embroidered with dark flowers, elegant and delicate, and it would have a soft luster when the light fell on it.

When Li Mo saw this purse, he remembered the purse he snatched from Lin Xiaoxi ten years ago.

He took the purse, and just by touching it in his hand, he could feel that it was a key.

He opened the purse and took out the key inside.

"it……"

Li Mo frowned.

Back then, he snatched Lin Xiaoxi's purse and lured the thieves away.The pouch contained an identical key, but the one taken from Lin Xiaoxi was silver, but this one was gold.

Although it is golden, it is not made of gold, it is very hard, and it has a faint sense of transparency.

He had never seen such a metallic texture.

Xu Guanjia said: "This thing has caused too many disasters. The old lady originally wanted to leave with this secret, but before she died, she changed her mind."

"There are two keys in the world that can open the secret room in Huaxi Town. One is the key that almost killed you. It was assigned by the Shu family. This is the original key."

"The assigned key can only be opened once, and its shape will be slightly deformed, and the secret room can no longer be opened. Only this key will never be destroyed. It is stubborn and strong, and has a tough bone."

Li Mo observed the key, feeling incredible.

In fact, the secret room in Huaxi Town is also incredible.Dai Zhiye formed a special team to deal with the secret room in Huaxi Town. After so many years, he still found nothing.

Li Mo asked Steward Xu: "Old Xu, can you tell me why grandma left Huaxi Town?"

The housekeeper sighed: "It's all because of this key. In fact, your grandma's family died because of this key. It was a long, long time ago."

In the 30th year of the Republic of China, the Qi family was in trouble because of protecting this key, and only Li Qishu escaped from the murder under the protection of his elder brother.

The seriously injured brother successfully brought Li Qishu to the Li family in Huaxi Town, and also handed over the key to the Li family.After three days, he died.

In the fifth year after Li Qishu gave birth to the child, for some reason, news of the key spread again.In order to protect her family from harm, she quietly left Huaxi Town.

At that time, the traffic was still blocked, and there was no developed communication system, so I started to live again in another place.

Although I will miss my family and children, but when I think that my sacrifice is in exchange for a safer living environment for them, I can persevere no matter how hard it is.

Over the years, she has been trying to find a way to destroy the keys.

As long as the key is gone, no one will be harmed by it.However, she thought of many ways and secretly contacted many researchers, but she couldn't melt or even change it.

Someone told her that the atomic structure of the key's material did not conform to that of any metal, and its material form had nothing to do with meteorites in the universe.

It became a mystery.

The catastrophe ten years ago almost made Mrs. Li sad and passed away. It was also from that year that the old lady's body collapsed badly.

She didn't meet Li Mo by chance, she found him after all the hard work.

She also tried her best to find Lin Xiaoxi, but when she found out that she was adopted by old man Lin, she kept silent.

"The old lady said, if you insist on getting the key one day in the future, I will give it to you."

"I went to Huaxi Town and found that Dai Zhiye's people were attacking the secret room. The things in the secret room cannot fall into the hands of people like him, so I rushed back without stopping, hoping to give you the key deal with."
