Otto: I am the Heisei Big Brother

weekend.

Hehui drove a brand new Honda sedan and returned to the countryside with Dagu and his parents.

The Yuan family’s old house is at the foot of a mountain.

Later, when Hehui made money and Yuan's parents had a comfortable salary, under the leadership of Yuan's grandfather, several families contributed funds to build a simple shrine on the back mountain of the old house.

Over the years since then, it has been gradually renovated and is now somewhat presentable.

There is not only Wu Ju, but also a red wooden gate that resembles the Chinese character "Kai".

There are also stone stairs, tall sacred trees, and wooden shrines.

When Hehui and his friends arrived at the village entrance, his uncle and aunt had just arrived.

It's really too coincidental.

My uncle is a social animal who is on his way to work every day, while my aunt works as a cashier in a supermarket.

The salary is okay, enough to make ends meet.

They also have a son and a daughter.

The eldest son used his connections to get a job in his uncle's company, and became a salesperson like his uncle.

The younger daughter is still in college.

But I go to an ordinary university and currently study accounting.

My uncle-in-law is Michikazuya Kobayashi, a construction engineer, and my aunt is Nadeshiko Kobayashi.

They have only one daughter, named Xiaolin and Ye Zi.

Currently in the third year of high school.

Among the families of his brothers and sisters, his family lived a relatively comfortable life.

Hehui's father is the second child in the family. The third child is Dagu's parents, but both of them have passed away.

When they saw each other, they were slightly stunned.

My aunt asked in surprise, "Were you also called back by your father?"

Since they got married, the relationship between them has gradually become distant.

There is less and less contact.

So much so that until now, they have hardly any contact.

"Yeah!" Yuantongmu nodded. He also noticed something was wrong.

I just don't know what the old man wants to do.

Great uncle Sonoda Oka frowned and said, "Let's go home. The old man suddenly called us all home. There must be something important!"

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense.

So they took out the gifts they had brought and walked home.

Their old house is at the innermost part of the village. The road is very narrow and it is impossible to stop when driving in.

Fortunately, the entrance to the village is quite spacious.

So this place became the village’s exclusive parking lot.

The younger aunt, the older aunt, the older cousin and the younger cousin all noticed the new car that Hehui was driving.

On the way home, they couldn't help but curiously pester Yuan Huiye to find out.

Hehui and Dagu walked at the back.

The latter asked hesitantly, "Cousin, why do you think our grandfather called us all back?"

He Hui shrugged and consoled him, "Why think so much? You'll know when you get home!"

"Besides, the old man is in good health. He won't make a will or give instructions for his funeral!"

"So relax!"

When Dagu heard this, a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

He always felt that his grandfather called his people back because something big must have happened.

He even suspected that it was related to a nightmare he had a week ago.

But if you think about it carefully, this is a bit outrageous.

It was just a dream, how could it be related to reality?

"Never mind, maybe I'm just overthinking it!"

What if the old man really misses his children and grandchildren?

But what exactly is the darkness in the dream...

Why is it so depressing and painful...

And it’s so real!

There is also light bursting out from the darkness. What on earth is that...

What does this dream of mine portend?

Or maybe I just read too many novels, and I dream about what I think about during the day...

Ugh……

My head hurts from thinking about it.

……

When the families returned to the old house, they were shocked to find that the old man really missed them, so he asked them to come back for a meal.

The food is over five flavors, and the wine is over three rounds.

The few people who originally had some resentment had their resentment dissipated a lot after the meal.

Everyone was in a state of confusion.

Although the old man scared them and made them go through a lot of trouble, he was old after all, so they would be understanding and considerate.

He Hui wants to drive, but Da Gu is not yet an adult.

So neither of them drank any alcohol. After dinner, they got up and left the table to go out for a walk.

Da Gu and He Hui are familiar with all the places here, but the Houshan Shrine is what interests the two brothers.

Soon, the two climbed up the stone steps and reached the shrine halfway up the mountain.

"You know what, there is a little smell!" He Hui looked around curiously.

Although this shrine is not big, covering only one acre of land, it has almost everything a shrine should have.

There are not only incense and candlesticks for worship, but also large tripods for sacrifice.

The air was still filled with the smell of incense and candles.

There is also a tall sacred tree next to it.

"My grandfather's generation is more likely to believe in God!" Dagu also looked around curiously and replied casually.

Although they have come back several times, they haven't seen the shrine in the back mountain for several years.

You know what, it really does have that sacred smell.

And for some reason, this place always gave him a familiar feeling. It seemed like he had seen it somewhere before.

He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Brother, do you feel a familiar feeling here?"

Hearing this, Hehui, who was looking at the shrine gate, was slightly stunned and looked at Daigu in surprise.

"Familiar feeling?!"

He turned his head, looked around for a moment, and then shook his head.

"No, this place gives me a feeling that's just like that!"

"Oh!" Dagu responded, thinking that he might have thought too much.

Just stop worrying about it.

And isn’t there something called the hippocampus effect in the textbooks?

It feels so familiar even though it’s a place I’ve never been to.

According to scientific explanations, this is because the brain mistakes a similar place you have visited in the past as the place you are now in, which is why you feel like you have seen it before.

After looking outside for a moment, the two brothers pushed open the shrine and walked in.

There is a shrine inside, the size of a street basket.

Apart from this, there are no other images of gods.

This did surprise Hehui and Dagu.

"It's strange, why didn't grandfather put the ancestral tablets there, but instead just offered sacrifices to the shrine?" Dagu asked curiously.

When his grandfather wanted to build the shrine, they all thought that he wanted to worship his ancestors.

"Come to think of it, it seems that we have never worshipped our ancestors here since the establishment of this shrine!" Hehui said curiously, touching his chin.

"Yes, it is indeed a bit strange!"

Every year when they came back and wanted to worship their ancestors, their grandfather would refuse with various reasons.

Over time, they no longer had that interest.

The two of them looked at the shrine again, and seeing that it was locked and there was nothing unusual around, they didn't bother to think about it any more. After lighting a stick of incense each, they went down the mountain.

During the entire process, Hehui never sensed the bronze rod in the shrine.

It was as if it was shrouded in a mysterious and imperceptible bubble.

However, when Dagu was going down the mountain, his movements suddenly froze.

He seemed to hear some sound!

goodong...

It sounded like some kind of heartbeat, but it was too brief, just for a moment.

Dagu hurriedly looked back, but saw nothing.

He Hui, who was walking in front, turned his head in confusion, looked at Da Gu, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

Dagu came back to his senses and looked at his cousin, whose doubts were directed at him.

"Uh... nothing..."

"Maybe I was hallucinating!"

Thinking of this, he quickly caught up with He Hui and returned home.

At this time, the sky was getting darker and the sun was setting behind the mountain.

The Tokyo news broadcast started playing on TV.

"According to reports, our country's UNDF representative, Admiral Tetsuji Yoshigang, has established the Japanese Maritime Headquarters Base. Although the Diving Hanger was boycotted by all countries, it was still implemented with the support of General Secretary Sawai!"

As soon as he saw this, He Hui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The construction of the sea base has already begun.

"We're back!" Dagu shouted politely to those who were still eating.

My uncle and others didn't look back and continued watching the reports on TV.

Just answered a few words casually.

"Ok!"

The content on TV is international and has an impact on their lives, so they all want to get relevant information from TV.

Grandfather Yuan glanced at Dagu, then looked at Hehui, and finally his eyes fell on Dagu.

He smiled and said, "Da Gu, come and sit here with grandpa!"

"it is good!"

Hehui did not follow them. Instead, he found a small stool, sat next to his parents, and started watching TV.

"...According to our report..."

"During the SADF era, there were aliens kept in the UNDF base. This is a major discovery..."

“This means that we humans are no longer the only ones in the universe, there are other intelligent life forms in this universe.

In fact, there were signs of this. In 1983, cosmic radio waves were received in various parts of the world, and scientists named them SET waves.

Therefore, Secretary-General Sawai recommended Megumi Iruma to be the director of the Extraterrestrial Life Form Negotiation Planning Team at the United Nations Conference..."

When the screen showed Kei Iruma, everyone in front of the TV was surprised.

Especially my younger cousin and older cousin.

As women, Iruma Hui has already made contributions to all mankind, and they are still studying.

I couldn't help but look at Iruma Kei on TV with envy.

“It’s actually Megumi Iruma!”

My eldest cousin exclaimed.

As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Hehui and Dagu.

The university they both attended was founded by Iruma Kei's father, Iruma Akio.

In a sense, Iruma Kei and the others are alumni.

The younger cousin was more interested in gossip. She hugged her older cousin's arm and chattered, "I remember that in 1998, she seemed to have married Katsuto Miura, the son of the Miura Group!"
