[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

Excessive? "

My dad waved his hand and said it was not important. I understood it as soon as I heard it, and I definitely failed.

My dad told me that I knew it when I saw it. At that time, my grandfather explained the visit to the house. In fact, it was just a sentence. I went to see if they were still alive after a while. My dad said that this incident can be engraved in our family ancestors. According to the training, every generation has to do this.

I don't understand even more, according to this seniority, no matter how healthy the body is, I will have to prepare for their funeral in a few years, right?

I went to Grandpa Su's house with doubts. Grandpa Su gave me a pair of sunglasses and asked me to take them to Motuo, and asked me to take a group photo of the three of them and bring them back to him.

I thought it would be good to make a video call, but Grandpa Su always gave me a sense of majesty, and I didn't dare to treat my dad like he was big or small, so I agreed.

When I arrived in Medog, I searched for it according to the address my father gave me. The place was really barren. In the mountains, there was no living person within a radius of ten miles. The last part of the road could only be walked on foot. I thought there would be no such thing in this world. kind of primitive place.

When I arrived at the place where the three elders lived, I was shocked again. These three people looked ten years older than me and younger than me. Judging from their faces, I even doubted whether the three of them were born when grandpa died.

"Hey, come? Wait until I finish playing this game!" A handsome man greeted me. He was playing a game, which came out years ago. My classmates and I also played it, so I was even more skeptical. Could this person be Grandpa's master?My dad is kidding me!

"Blind man, come out and pick up a customer!"

The corners of my mouth twitched. Before I could calm down, a man wearing sunglasses came out of the room. He should be Grandpa Su’s master. Some people like this, but I doubt it. In this desolate and uninhabited land, is there any guest?

"Kid, what are you thinking?"

Only then did I realize that I was far away, and quickly found the sunglasses that Grandpa Su asked me to hand over from my bag, "You are... Mr. Hei, right? Grandpa Su asked me to bring it to you." I really can't say it, I can't even call it ancestor, I'm too fucking young.

I don’t know how I got the joke from the guy who played the game. He didn’t do one operation well and died. He laughed for a long time, “Mr. Hei, I haven’t heard such a serious name in years.”

I just felt so embarrassed that I could dig out a grave in the same place. Fortunately, these two people still have a bit of humanitarian spirit. They greeted me to the living room, and the pretty one said: "It seems that the task of visiting the three of us is entrusted to you. Let me introduce, my name is Gu Ran, you can call me whatever you want, just don't call me Mr. Gu, it's too serious and doesn't match my temperament."

I agree with this statement, this person feels more "approachable" than my dad.

"The mute went up the mountain and hasn't come back yet. You have to wait a while. You can just call him little brother. Everyone used to call him that. There is also this one—Mr. Hei." Gu Ran laughed for a long time again, "You call him Hei Glasses or a blind man will do."

It seemed impolite to call him a black blind man, so I decided to call him black glasses.

I did what my dad said, and checked the people. The little brother who hasn't come back should be the one who hasn't said much. mad.

I have an ominous feeling.

Facts have proved that my premonition has never been wrong. In the process of being repeatedly pissed off, I gradually understood what my dad meant when he said that it can be seen from a distance but not played with.

How would you describe these two people in front of you?It's true that they are approachable and interesting, but they still give me a very distant feeling. I don't know how to describe them specifically, but I believe now that they have a very high seniority.

I just don't know why they look so young, or why the three of them live in such a remote place.

The little brother came back before dinner. While it was still bright, I took a group photo of the three of them according to Grandpa Su's instructions. They kept me for dinner, and then arranged a room for me to stay for a while. Leave later.

I was full of doubts, and I didn't plan to leave that day.

The three of them probably lived together for a long time, and they had a very strange aura that I couldn't penetrate at all. After dinner, Gu Ran asked Heiyan to play games with him, and the little brother sat on the side in a daze, and I sat on the side too. , but I'm watching them.

When the three of them chat, they will naturally bring out more sense of age. For example, the black glasses said that Gu Ran has been playing games all the time. He has been playing games for a long time. He said the names of several games. I have heard of some, and it is my father. Some things from that era have never been heard at all.

There are a lot of photos on the wall of the living room, some of them are Polaroids, which have been out of fashion for decades, and I have seen them in my dad’s collection of old things.There are also some photos that are older, developed by cameras, and some that look like they were developed on film.

This is also due to the fact that I took an elective course in my freshman year, which was the history of photography, otherwise I would not have recognized these things recorded in the history books.

There are also some earlier, black and white photos, which look like the last century in the history textbook.

Although the resolution of the photos is not the same, they can be identified. There are three of them in the photos. In the closer photos, I saw my grandpa, Grandpa Su and Grandpa Li. They were when they were young. I was at my dad’s I've seen them in the photo album, and there are a few people I haven't seen in the photos, probably all of their peers.

I can't help but wonder, how long did they live?The photo alone is more than 100 years old.

As a staunch atheist, my faith was shaken.

Before leaving the next day, I followed Grandpa Su's instructions and asked them what they were missing, and I would send them over next time.

Gu Ran said that they didn't lack anything, and asked me to tell Grandpa Su that they were planning to go on a trip in a while, so that I wouldn't have to come over for nearly ten years.

I agreed, and didn't ask why they can travel for more than ten years.

Now I seem to understand why my dad said that the period of time is three to five years. For them, three to five years seems to be a very short time.

After I returned to Beijing, I gave the photos to Grandpa Su and told them about their upcoming trip.

Grandpa Su probably felt a little emotional, and sighed, "I don't know if I can see them again when I'm alive."

Grandpa Su's health is half good and half bad. The altitude in Motuo is too high. He really can't go there. I can only comfort him: "You want to see them, just say no?"

Grandpa Su closed his eyes and sighed: "You don't understand."

Grandpa Su has no offspring. My dad said that among the three of them, only grandpa is married.There are many same-sex marriages these days. When I was a child, I asked my dad whether Grandpa Su and Grandpa Li were a couple.My dad shook his head and said that I was still young and didn't understand anything, and they didn't have that kind of love.

My dad has a sentence that I have never understood. He said, like their generation, who have experienced so many things, it is no longer what we understand as love. I always feel that this is my dad, the physical education teacher. The deepest words spoken.

When Grandpa Su left, Gu Ran and the others didn't come.This was expected by Grandpa Su, he just told me when I was still conscious, I must keep in touch with them, visit them every once in a while, and take a photo.Grandpa Su gave me a photo album, and the date was written on each photo.

The first photo, more than 60 years ago, shows six people, I vaguely remember, and I have seen the other three on the wall of the living room in Medog.In 30 years, there were three fewer people in the photo, and in the following 30 years, there were only three of them left.

I can recognize that the background of their first photo was not Medog. Later, I tried to import the photos into the computer for identification. Big data told me that the place is in Fujian Province, a place called Yucun. It has become a place in the past few decades. Famous tourist resort.I think they moved out for this reason too.

After Grandpa Su left, the glasses shop located in the courtyard was completely closed. Later, a family named Huo went there to clean it from time to time, but no one ever lived there.

A few years later, I counted the time and guessed that they had already finished their trip and returned to Medog, so I went there and didn't run out, but it was different from last time, this time Gu Ran and the younger brother were fighting, black glasses He was watching with a bottle of beer and shouted hello from time to time.

Those who didn't know thought he was watching juggling!

But let me tell you, juggling is not as good-looking, my little brother and Gu Ran's moves are so fast that my eyes are dazzled, and the movements in the old movies I have seen decades ago are more crisp and agile.

I didn't bother them, and they ignored me.

The black glasses probably made his hands itchy. After blowing out the beer, he took off his jacket and greeted him in a vest.

I saw the scars on the black glasses. I don't know what they are for, but I deliberately went through some popular novels when my grandfather was young, and there were notes and miscellaneous talks. It was a waste of time to find these old things I have a lot of strength, but I have some guesses about their age.

The gray area of ​​their time was much more dangerous than it is now. I carefully looked through the photo albums left by Grandpa Su. Some of the photos were taken in summer. They wore cool clothes and some scars could be seen.

I probably understand what my dad said before. People of their generation have definitely experienced extraordinary things, perhaps even more exciting than novels.Martial arts novels like to call this a friendship between life and death, I think they should be similar.

My life is too flat to empathize with their camaraderie,
