Loved By An Older Man

1302 Three Meanings

The old village doctor was wearing presbyopic glasses and was reading a book on a rocking chair.

The rocking chair looked rather old and worn, and it would always make creaking sounds.

“Old village doctor, Hello.” Jiang Yu walked over and said politely, “I have something to ask you.”

“Oh, it’s you.” The old village doctor adjusted his reading glasses. “Just tell me what you want.”

“Do you have any ancient books here?” Jiang Yu asked. “Anything will do, but it’s best if it’s related to the logo.”

“Such a book …” The old village doctor thought carefully and said, “Aiyo, I think there are a few books. Wait a moment, I’ll go and find it for you.”

“Alright, thank you.” Jiang Yu thanked him politely.

The old village doctor went to his bed and pulled out a wooden box. He opened the box, and there was a neatly arranged stack of books inside. He flipped through the books and finally chose two books to hand to Jiang Yu.

“These two books are what you wanted.” The old village doctor said, “this is a book that has been passed down for generations in my family. If you don’t understand anything, you can come and ask me.”

“Alright, thank you.” Jiang Yu took the book and returned to her room.

Jiang Yu flipped through the books and tried to find a picture that was similar to the icon in her phone.

After searching for a long time, she finally found three pictures on the last few pages of the second ancient book.

If these three pictures were combined together, it would become the icon in the phone.

“No wonder I found this icon familiar.” Jiang Yu mumbled to herself, “so it’s these three pictures that have been combined.”

These three pictures represented three meanings.

The first picture represented war, the second picture represented violence, and the third picture represented madness. The picture she had seen before was too big.

If the three pictures were combined into an icon, what would the icon represent? Did this icon represent these three things?

Jiang Yu told Chang Kai about this matter and said, “Where did you see this icon? I’m going to take a look too.”

“It’s in the village where the illegal mining took place,” Chang Kai said. “In the first house, there’s a pile of withered grass on the ground. This icon is under the withered grass.”

“Alright, I understand. I’ll go take a look now.”

Jiang Yu went to the neighboring village and went under the security zone.

There were very few villagers in the village, less than 20 people in total. But they were all men, probably because men were stronger than women, so they could mine better.

Jiang Yu went to the first room, where a middle-aged man lived.

“Who are you?” The man asked, puzzled. “What’s the matter?”

“Hello, my name is Jiang Yu. I’m a friend of the police.” Jiang Yu said, “I heard that I found a strange icon on the floor of your house, so I thought of coming over to take a look.”

“You’re here to look at the icon too?” The middle-aged man kicked away the pile of withered grass on the ground. “This is it. I have a feeling that this is something unclean. After you’re done looking at it, I’ll cover it with withered grass. I really don’t know what was used to draw this icon on the ground. I thought of many ways, but I couldn’t remove this icon from the ground. I don’t even dare to stay here anymore, I’m afraid that this icon will attract some dirty things to me.”

“When did this icon appear here?” Jiang Yu asked.

The middle-aged man carefully recalled and said, “Not long. My house didn’t have this icon before, but ever since the caretakers came, this icon appeared in my house. Although I thought it was a little strange, I didn’t dare to ask. That group of people look so fierce, who would dare to go over and ask?”

“I know.” Jiang Yu said, “other than this icon, are there any other strange icons in the other houses in your village? Or, did anything strange happen in your village?”

“If you’re talking about strange things, then I remember.” The middle-aged man said, “I don’t know when it started, but every night when we go to bed, we can always hear the faint sound of crying. It felt very far from here, but we could hear it very clearly. And this sound only appears at night. We’ve never heard it during the day.”
