Mystery Hunter - Chapter 206

[Chapter 206 When I’m Old]

When Mr. Shao heard his name, he was suddenly overjoyed, as if the kindergarten children were praised by their parents. This feeling has not appeared for a long time. Shao Lao is known to everyone in the criminal police, and even the police academy uses his books as teaching materials.

He often encounters unfamiliar people and discusses some psychological issues with himself, and has also been mentioned by countless people about his book. But now, Shao Lao has such an unusual feeling in his heart.

The grandmother was still chattering, while Shao Lao was observing the house intentionally or not. There were only two pairs of slippers at the door, and only the old man’s clothes were hung on the hangers. There is only one water cup on the coffee table, and the rest of the water glasses are upside down in the compartment of the coffee table. In the photo frames standing beside the TV cabinet, there is only one person’s photo.

At about ten o’clock last night, the old man alone heard the sound of a quarrel coming from the opposite door.

“Have you been living alone?” Elder Shao wiped his hands with a handkerchief. “Eat fat pigs?” The grandmother

said, “The doctor said I can’t eat too much fat, it’s not good for my health.”

Shao Shao shook his head: “You live alone?”

People live.”

“Where are your children?” Elder Shao was very strange, because he didn’t see anyone else in the photo frame, and judging from these things in the house, she seemed to be living alone all the time.

“I’ve never been married.” The grandmother said with a smile, “So I don’t have a son and a half-daughter.”

“You’ve never been married?” At the age of Shao Lao, other people’s children have children, and Shao The old man still insists on being alone. Looking back at the thirty years since he was thirty years old, it is not that no one has confessed to him, and it is not that no one wants to have a child with him, but since that person left, no one has walked in. past his heart.

When he woke up early from his dream alone, when he saw a particularly funny joke, he always thought, if only he was not alone. But when he saw the photo of the woman by the bed, he thought, if it wasn’t for her, he would rather be alone.

“Hee hee.” The old man said mysteriously: “I’m not the kind of leftover girl that no one looks down on and no one chases after me! When I was young, the boys who were chasing me queued up from the east end of the village to the west end of the village. Open your eyes, this pick, I didn’t pick it well, I don’t think anyone can match me, and I’ve never been married.”

“But oh!” The old man said in a dignified manner, “It’s the first time I fell in love. At that time, I was fifteen years old. At that time, it was not as good as you are now. At that time, whoever dared to fall in love early would be a big taboo, and maybe he would be stabbed in the spine and scolded for a lifetime.”

Shao Lao said helplessly. To: “Old sister, what you said is now, at that time we can’t be in early love…” The

grandmother snorted: “Who cares about him? I love to fall in love! Then guess what? Later they let him I got married early! I was only nineteen years old at the time, and I didn’t get married. Besides, what kind of thing was introduced to me by the matchmaker, how could I fall in love with him.”

“My mother said that I fell in love when I was young, and it was The age to get married is not married.” The grandmother laughed when she thought about it: “I care about them? I said that if I don’t get married, I won’t get married, and I still want to go to school! I spent a lot of effort in order to go to college. What.”

Shao Lao nodded, there were very few people who could go to university in those days, and there were even fewer girls.

“Don’t talk about this.” The grandmother looked at Shao Lao: “You are much younger than me, how about you, have you embraced your grandson?”

Shao Lao shook his head: “I am just like you, I have always been I came here alone. But I’m not as smart as you, and I’ve been in love once in my life.” The

grandmother nodded: “Then you’re less frequent, why didn’t you have your first love? She married someone else?”

Shao Lao thought of the year when he was 30 years old, which was the best age for him and her. At that time, he made a lot of mistakes emotionally, but he also did things that are wonderful in retrospect. At that time, they were noisy, on and off, and he always felt that he should go to old age with her.

“Something happened.” Shao Lao pointed to his head: “She became a vegetable, and she never woke up and left like that.” The

old grandmother heard Shao Lao’s words, nodded and said: “You Look, there’s nothing wrong with that. If you’re with someone because you like her, that’s the best. But if you’re with someone just because you’re lonely, that’s not good for anyone If you have been passionate, then you will be content!”

Shao Lao realized that the old lady in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person. She has the open-mindedness that others do not have, and the wisdom of life that others cannot feel. As an old man of this age, he has always been asked by others about his life experience. But only Mr. Shao understands that one age group is confused by another, and Mr. Shao has no answers to some questions.

At this moment, Shao Lao realized that maybe this old man could give him the answer.

Mr. Shao asked, “What did you study in college?” The

grandmother said, “Philosophy. You know, those of us living in that age group have experienced a hugely destructive movement. Those who came from that age, every Everyone is confused. The three most important questions in philosophy are who I am, where I came from, and where I am going. At that time, no one could answer me, so I had to find it myself.”

“These three questions are Is the answer?” Shao Lao asked: “Your answer.” The

grandmother shook her head and said, “No, philosophy has different meanings for everyone, and naturally there is no fixed answer for everyone. This requires us Search for a lifetime.”

Shao Lao nodded, and he said, “There are three stages in my life. When I was young, I thought it was justice to catch the bad guys and find the truth. When I was middle-aged, I felt that if I could catch the bad guys, I don’t need any truth, and I don’t need to tell others the truth, so I hurt someone who trusted me.”

“I’m getting old.” Shao Lao sighed: “I’m getting old, but I think justice is only what the majority means. , the truth is just an excuse for their hypocrisy.”

“I’m really a little confused, you say, what exactly is justice?” Shao Lao asked.

The grandmother nodded and said to Shao Lao: “There is a definition in philosophy called the principle of cosmic justice, which is the place where all beings are born and return. All animals live here, and as time goes by, they will naturally be punished accordingly. . Destroying the environment will naturally be countered by it, and other animals will be extinct, and the last animal will naturally become extinct.”

“You said that the universe has existed for 15 billion years, and you and I are just dust in the universe. What you want to do , does not have any impact on the universe. Your own justice will not be outside the universe. So you do what you think is right, and bear the consequences of doing it.”

“Some people think the truth is important . , you tell him. If someone doesn’t want to see the truth, you hide it from him. If you think it’s just, you do it, if you think it’s unjust, you don’t do it.” The grandmother said: “People are all social In sum, what you have become is already in the expectations of your loved ones.” The

old grandmother said: “Just like I like desserts, I will eat them, and I don’t care if I die of diabetes and high blood pressure. You see, it’s that simple.”

“You don’t have to look for justice.” The grandmother pointed to Shao Lao’s heart: “Because it’s already in everyone’s heart.”

Shao Lao nodded.

The grandmother added: “Ziyiyi is a good boy. I live alone, and she often comes to see me and help me. So for me, finding the bastard who killed her and taking his head off for me, this It’s my justice!”

“You all know?” Shao Lao asked.

The old grandmother said, “I know, you police are noisy, how could I not know. You see, life is such a fragile thing. I lived eighty-two years old, and I saw it all. It’s like living alone, saying I might not be able to wake up when I fall asleep, but I’m not worried or afraid, what to do, that’s the meaning of a life’s existence. Do what you love the most and bear the consequences of it.”

“Look. , I like sweets, so when I was fifty, all my teeth fell out! Hee hee!” The grandmother pursed her lips and laughed.

Mr. Shao took the old man’s words in his heart, and he understood a little that justice is not found, and there is no fixed standard for justice. Perhaps for a murderer, murder is his justice, but he needs to bear the consequences of murder. And Shao Lao is responsible for catching him and making him bear his own consequences.

Shao Lao stood up and said, “Understood, old sister. Now, I’m going to investigate.” The

grandmother nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I cooked sweet porridge today, and I have been cooking it since morning. I don’t have any teeth, so I can only eat these rotten ones, but don’t look bad, it’s delicious! I plan to open a restaurant outside in a year or two to cook for the elderly. !”

After saying that, the old grandmother walked to the kitchen with a walking stick, and after a while she brought out a small bowl.

She hurriedly put the small bowl on the table, and the sweet porridge was still steaming hot. The old grandmother blew on her scalded hands and said with a smile, “Hee hee, eat quickly, try it.

” After tasting it, it was indeed the best porridge he had ever eaten in his life. But who knows? I am only 60 years old this year, and I still have a lot of time to eat good food in the future.

A person is very lonely and lonely, but if he can make his soul interesting, Shao Lao thought, maybe he doesn’t need to be a person like Jiang He who is not sad, happy, lonely and confused, but he can also live in a dashing, unrestrained and enjoyable life. Come on.

On the TV cabinet, there is a photo of the old grandmother when she was young. Even with the eyes of the time, it is really not beautiful, very ordinary. But Mr. Shao never doubted that she was a trend-setter at that time, nor that people who liked her could queue from the east end of the village to the west end of the village.

Because interesting souls are always deeper and more likable than skins.

“Sweet, it’s so delicious, I’ll cook another pot later!” The grandmother’s laughter came from the kitchen.
