unexpected discovery
Since Xiaoduo's father passed away unexpectedly, grandma moved to the provincial capital. When she left, she was in a hurry and sad. She didn't leave any contact information for Aunt Zhou. She just gave her a key so that Aunt Zhou could help clean up when she had time.
Unexpectedly, this separation lasted almost twenty years.
"Your grandma asked you to look after this house. I come here every week to freshen up and clean it, thinking about when you will come back. I didn't expect to see your grandma for the last time." Aunt Zhou said regretfully.
A few years ago, Aunt Zhou went to the provincial capital to visit and asked someone to inquire about my grandma. Unexpectedly, she later heard that her grandma had passed away, and she was still sad for a long time.
"When your house was first built, it was the only small bungalow in the village. However, later on, the villagers began to follow the engineering team to build houses and hot spring hotels. Gradually, everyone built houses, and your house became inconspicuous.
"Aunt Zhou said to Xiaoduo while helping her open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Xiaoduo seemed to have traveled back to the 1990s. There was an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the main room, and there was a poster of Journey to the West on the wall, which had become yellow and brittle over the years. In the room on the left was a
There is an old-fashioned desk, and behind it is a mahogany medicine cabinet as tall as one person. The room on the right contains a bed and an integrated wardrobe with a dressing mirror. Although it is unoccupied, it has been tidied up by Aunt Zhou.
When the house was being repaired, my great-grandfather was no longer here, but at Grandma’s insistence, they moved their great-grandfather’s desk and medicine cabinet to their new home. Ordinarily, this old furniture was old, but because it was made of logs, it had deteriorated under the polish of the years.
It looks calm and simple, with an antique feel.
Seeing how clean the house was, Xiaoduo said to Aunt Zhou embarrassedly: "It's been a real trouble for you all these years. You have always helped us take care of the house so well."
"Hey, what's the point? I'm usually idle. Besides, your grandma thinks of me as her daughter. It doesn't matter if I clean up the house for her. I hope you can come back again."
Aunt Zhou sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a big child."
After listening to Xiaoduo's explanation of the situation over the years, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but feel sorry for the child, and her eyes became red as she spoke.
"It's okay, it's okay! By the way, Xiaoqi is also married and has children!"
Xiao Qi is Aunt Zhou’s son, and his name is Xiao Qi. Xiao Duo used to go back to his hometown for winter and summer vacations, and he always played with Xiao Qi. So they were considered young.
"Hey, don't mention it. I originally expected him to go to the city to find a job after college, and let me go to the city to enjoy the happiness. Who knew that after graduation, he said that it would be better to work for yourself than to work for others, and go to work in a resort hotel in the town?
He worked for a few years, and then he opened a small hotel, the second one at the intersection of the hot spring area. When you have time, let him take you to the hot springs."
"This relationship is great, and now I am also a small boss."
"What's so good? Now I don't even have a wife, and I'm almost thirty." When Aunt Zhou mentioned her son, she felt proud and worried at the same time.
"It's okay, Xiaoqi has been handsome since he was a child. When I have time, I will introduce him to my best friend, a beautiful girl!"
"Hahahahahaha, that's good. I believe in your judgment." Aunt Zhou wanted to say something else. She looked at Mimi, hesitated again, and said, "You guys have been tired for a day. Let's rest first. Wait a minute.
I will bring you some food and drink, you and the child can go to bed quickly after eating."
Xiaoduo was so moved that she didn’t know what to say and thanked her repeatedly.
After cleaning up, Xiaoduo walked into the study. Although he hadn't lived in it for many years, this room was still filled with a faint fragrance of Chinese medicine. Under the dim light, the medicine cabinet had an inexplicable red glow.
This medicine cabinet has five rows and six rows, with a total of thirty grids. Each grid has a small golden handle. There is also a yellowed label on the medicine cabinet, which is the name of the medicine handwritten by my great-grandfather, but it can no longer be seen clearly.
clear.
Touching the labels on the medicine cabinet, Xiaoduo suddenly felt a tingling pain in her hand. She picked up her finger and looked, and found a small cut on her hand, and blood flowed out.
She couldn't help but screamed. At this time, Aunt Zhou came in to deliver food to them and saw Xiao Duo.
"Ah, why did my hand get cut accidentally?"
Xiao Duo looked at the medicine cabinet and felt a strange feeling in her heart. The medicine cabinet was an old item and was completely smooth. She couldn't even see where her finger had been scratched.
Aunt Zhou quickly bandaged her. While bandaging, she said: "This medicine cabinet was left by your great-grandfather. There were medicines in it a few years ago, but then it was not used for many years. It rained and became moldy, so I cleaned out everything in it."
It’s clean.”
"But it's strange to say that I haven't put away any medicine for many years, but this medicine cabinet always smells like medicine, and no snake, insect, rat or ant has ever entered this room."
"Maybe the Chinese medicine has soaked the cabinet. Haha, I'm fine. I recovered very quickly."
Aunt Zhou said, "You guys should have breakfast and go to bed. Don't let your fingers get wet today."
After Xiaoduo and Mimi finished eating and tidying up, they suddenly felt very sleepy, so they went to bed early after freshening up briefly.
In the room they couldn't see, the medicine cabinet stood quietly in the darkness. Suddenly, a burst of red light came through the gaps in the grid, and the medicine cabinet began to shake crazily, and it lasted for a while before stopping.
A sound came from nowhere.
