Chapter 405 Two photos, one new and one old
This kind of silence also has another possibility.
Maybe it’s not because of the current environment, but because everyone is too tense.
When you concentrate your whole body and soul on something, you become unable to hear other sounds around you.
for example……
Crunch.
The door of the study was pushed open a little at some point, making a slight sound.
And an intimate one.
"Grandpa, I'm back..."
Lin Shijiao stood outside the door, shook off the cold, grabbed the scarf around her neck, and had a happy smile on her face.
One of her feet had already stepped over the threshold and was about to walk into the house.
But through the crack in the open door, Lin Shijiao saw Grandpa Qin standing in front of the desk, and his face was unprecedentedly serious and solemn.
A strange breath rushed towards her.
At this moment, Lin Shijiao had no idea what was happening in the house, nor did she know what might happen next.
But the sixth sense is such a mysterious thing.
When she saw this scene, she subconsciously stopped and did not walk into the house.
Even breathing...
There is a bit of tension.
Carefully, the sound was suppressed to the smallest level, with the slightest sense of presence.
A strong sense of uneasiness inexplicably began to surge in Lin Shijiao's heart.
In this room.
Not only did Grandpa Qin have that expression, but even Grandma Qin's expression was not right.
The familiar loving smile was gone, replaced by a tension and depression that had never been seen before.
Lin Shijiao could sense that something very important was happening.
Immediately following.
After Grandpa Qin searched together.
Lin Shijiao saw Grandpa Qin take out an old notebook from the drawer, and from the pages of the notebook... found an old photo.
The photo was black and white and very small, just the size of the palm of your hand.
The photo is not even complete, one corner is missing, which is the trace left by the raging fire.
Because of that photo, I once went through life and death with Grandpa Qin on the battlefield.
After all these years...
The images in the photos have become faded and are almost invisible...
However.
Lin Shijiao only needed to glance at the photo from a distance for the contents of the photo to emerge in her mind.
Because ever since she was brought back to the Qin family by Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin.
Grandpa Qin had held her, a thin and short girl, in his arms countless times, and placed the photo in front of her.
Then he pointed at a young man in the photo and repeated it in her ear.
"Jiaojiao, you must remember this face, remember this person... because she is your grandfather, your real grandfather."
"Your grandfather's name is Lin Tong. It is because of his efforts that we have such a good life now."
"Jiaojiao, you are your grandfather's only relative, so you must remember what he looks like and keep it in your heart for the rest of your life."
Over and over again.
Over and over again.
When Lin Shijiao was young, the man in the photo and this old photo had already been deeply imprinted in her heart.
That's her grandfather.
That was also the reason why she met Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin.
Since it is the request of Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, then she must do it.
Later.
When Lin Shijiao grew up a little.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also realized in their interactions with Lin Shijiao that such behavior would invisibly add pressure to the child.
So they stopped doing that and became a real family.
But Lin Shijiao still knew clearly the importance of this photo to Grandpa Qin.
Every time it comes to a critical day, some special holidays.
Grandpa Qin would take out the old photo and look at the young man in the photo, sitting alone in silence for a long time.
He was remembering and missing his comrades.
This heavy emotion has always been on the old man's heart.
But today...
It’s still the first month of the year, and it’s another happy day.
Why did Grandpa Qin suddenly take out that old photo again?
Still with such a panicked look...
Why……
Why is it…
Lin Shijiao's foot, which had originally stepped onto the threshold, was unconsciously retracted.
She stood quietly outside the door, without making even the slightest sound.
…
What Grandpa Qin held in his hand was not only an old photo, but also another color photo.
Two photos, one new and one old, one left and one right.
He turned his eyes quickly, looking back and forth.
Non-stop...non-stop...non-stop...
Going back and forth, confirming the two people in the photo.
Grandma Qin’s words “They are so similar” were simply put.
But from the photos, the two figures are almost identical.
How could there be two people in the world who are so similar?
One can imagine the shock in Grandpa Qin's heart.
His hands, holding the photo, were shaking slightly uncontrollably.
Immediately following.
Grandpa Qin raised his head quickly again and asked a question with a tense expression.
"Who is this person? Who is the man in this photo?!"
This sentence is exactly the same as what Grandma Qin asked Jiang Ning a few minutes ago.
Grandma Qin also felt heavy in her heart.
She said with a sigh.
"This is Aning's father."
As soon as these words came out.
Grandpa Qin's eyes quickly turned to Jiang Ning again.
The shock and confusion in his heart were all written on his face.
Every wrinkle on the face reflects the turbulent emotions.
"He is Aning's father... How could it be... If he is Aning's father, how could he look so much like Lin Tong... How could it be... Impossible... Impossible..."
Grandpa Qin has never felt so helpless in his life.
The thoughts in his mind had already become a mess.
It’s not that I can’t understand it, but... I don’t dare to think about it too deeply.
There is a certain doubt that I want to suppress in my heart.
Absolutely impossible!
However--
What he held in his hand at this moment was ironclad evidence. ♀
They look so similar, if they are not father and son, then what kind of relationship could they be...
In addition, some memories from long ago were also flooding Grandpa Qin's mind...
The first time they went to the military compound and met Jiang Ning.
After only spending half a day together, I saw a familiar figure in Jiang Ning.
It was as if he saw his former comrade-in-arms...
Right now.
Grandpa Qin was not the only one lost in thought.
The same is true for Grandma Qin.
Grandma Qin once saw a letter from Jiang Ning with an address on the envelope.
That address looked very similar to the village where they found Lin Shijiao that year.
The first series of addresses are exactly the same.
It’s the last few house numbers that make the difference.
Same looks...
Nearby address...
Are there really such coincidences in the world?
