According to the old lady, this Shiqiao Town was originally built by a big family. It was built in order to repay the support of the villagers.

Three hundred years ago, a child named Shiqiao was born here. The reason why this child is called Shiqiao is that this child was picked up on a stone bridge.

After picking it up, the villagers in Shiqiao Town saw that the child had no father or mother, so they raised the child door to door in turn. The child was so fed that he was 20 years old.

Then Shiqiao left the town and went outside. When he had money more than ten years later, he came back here with his wife and children and took out a lot of money to build this place.

It's been here ever since.

"You say that this town is called Shiqiao Town not only because of the stone bridge at zhenzikou?" When I asked the old woman, "of course not. The stone bridge at the entrance of the village was built after the Republic of China. It turned out that there was no river there, and the surrounding area was flat and flat. But I don't know what happened after the Republic of China. There was an arch bridge built there. In fact, the bridge was not good at all. There were always accidents in and out of the village. Because of these, we said that this is a ghost town and we are old, Not often.

But the young people here don't come back very much. They don't come back once a year and they don't want to come back.

Some even go as far as they can and don't come back at all.

You can see that the streets are full of people, but these people stay for business, and the rest are us old people.

In fact, it's a cultural site, but it's not as prosperous as other places. "

"When you look at it, you are a lady of a great family. You must be a famous family, too?"

"What a famous family. My ancestors were teachers. I feel comfortable here."

"No wonder it looks different. By the way, mother-in-law, do you know what happened to the man named Shiqiao later?"

"Then I didn't know." The old woman shook her head, and I asked, "there must be descendants of the Shi family here. After all, it's called Shiqiao Town."

After listening to me, the old woman thought, "I haven't heard of that. As far as I know, there is no one surnamed Shi, and I haven't heard of such a person since I was a child."

"So."

"It's not."

"Besides you, is there anyone older than you?" Listen to me ask the old woman, "there are several, but you have to say that the biggest one is over 100 years old, but she doesn't live in our town, but in the village behind the town.

village?

When I look back, I find that there is a mountain behind the town. I didn't go to see it when I came here last night. Now I can see it clearly.

"What does that village do? What's the name of the village? "

"That village is called xiaoshiqiao village. For some years, I knew there was a xiaoshiqiao village there, but the people there were all surnamed you, not Shi.

Right?

Isn't the right side of the stone?

After walking for a while, I asked some questions. The old women told me one by one that we had already gone to the place to buy breakfast. As a result, I saw Nangong Jin standing in line to buy breakfast at the place.

Seeing me, Nangong Jin was stunned. Then she bought breakfast and came to me. He thought I was coming alone, so he gave me a piece of breakfast in his hand. I was not polite to him, so he inquired about a lot of things.

When the old lady went to buy breakfast, I asked him about the Bureau.

What Nangong Jin asked is not much different from what I asked. What he asked is also that people in this town picked up a boy on the stone bridge and called him the boy stone bridge. Then the stone bridge got rich and came back to build this place.

There's no special clue. Nangong Jin and I went to the old lady's place all the way. Ouyang Li had been waiting for us there before we passed. But he didn't look ugly when he saw Nangong Jin this time. On the contrary, he was more indifferent and calm.

The woman and the doctor have also come out, and the woman is a man who doesn't have a heart. She has already been with the doctor, and her mouth is still restless. Especially the eyes of the two color fans who like beautiful men, when they see Nangong Jin, they take the initiative to say hello. The doctor's face is as ugly as a purple eggplant, so they can't look down.

At this time, Nangong Jin didn't know what was going on. She didn't pay any attention to the woman. Instead, she looked at the house, looked at me and asked, "do you want to go with me now or later?"

"I'll go with Ning'er later. You can go first." Ouyang Li said at this time, Nangong Jin is not happy, and he did not hesitate to Ouyang Li said: "you are not qualified to give her the decision, everything you want to manage?"

"Don't say a word. Let's have a meal. Let's go to the mountain to have a look." When I finished, the old woman asked me, "are you going to the back mountain?"

"To tell you the truth, a lot of people have died in Shiqiao Town these years, and the accidents happened in Shiqiao Town. We came here for this. Don't be angry if we don't tell you." When I said this, the old woman took a look at the old man, then sighed and said, "I can see that you are not here to play. You have inquired so many things with me.

But if you want to go, go. "

Then the old woman left. After breakfast, we went to the back. At the back, we went around the mountain and came to a small village.

The small village was no different from the ordinary village, so we went in.

Ouyang Li has been around me today. He doesn't talk much, but he is always around me.

When I came to the village, I wrote a few words at the mouth of the village, xiaoshiqiao village.

We went in after having a look. Soon after we went in, we saw someone come out to take out the garbage. When we saw us, we asked who we were, and we said that we were here to play. We heard that there was a long-lived mother-in-law here, so we came to have a look.

After hearing this, the man politely pointed to a family in the village, and we went to find the family.

The door of that house is the same as the fence wall before, and the house is also an ordinary house, not like a person with any money.

When I got to the door, I knocked on it and yelled inside twice, "is anyone there?"

"Who is it?" However, after a long time, there was an old voice in the room. With the arrival of this voice, the door of the room opened, and the rocking chair inside creaked and swayed. An old woman with wrinkled face came out of the room, leaning on a crutch in her hand.

The old lady seems to be over 100 years old. She is really very old.

However, the old lady looks bright and steady. She only hears when I call her. It seems that she is very tough.

At this time, the old lady had already come to the door, and I was surprised to see us. I was busy saying, "we are here to play. I heard that you are the oldest here, so I came to visit you. I hope you will forgive me."

The old lady looked at us for a while, still polite, and said, "come in."

When the door opened, we all entered. Ouyang Li walked beside me and looked around the yard. I also found that there was a place for Yin Qi to stay.

It's not long since we left. It seems that we have come to the right place.

The old lady went all the way to her house. After entering the door, I found that the place where the old lady lived was a bit unusual.

For one thing, the place is dark. For another, it has nothing but a bed, a rocking chair and a place to eat. The room next door should be a dining hall for cooking.

"There's no place for you to sit. You can sit on the bed, and there are three chairs." The old lady asked us to sit down after she came in. The woman was obviously frightened. When she came in, she saw that the old lady's room was dark and dark, and she was too scared to speak.

The doctor hugged the man and walked towards the bed. The woman said she would not go. The doctor had to take the woman to a chair to sit down. However, the doctor had to stand when the woman was sitting. Otherwise, the woman would not dare to sit down.

Ouyang Li and I sat on the bed. Nangong Jin took a look at me and went to the woman. But at this time, the woman had regarded the doctor as a life-saving straw. She didn't know who was sitting beside her.

Seeing that we all sat down, the old lady went to the door and closed the door with a squeak. Suddenly, the room fell into darkness.

The woman threw herself into the doctor's arms and the doctor hugged her tightly. At this time, I thought, if you know this, I shouldn't have asked her to come. What can I do if she is scared?

The old lady took a look at the woman. After she came back, she went to the rocking chair and sat down there rocking and rocking.

And the outside light is not much, only a gap, light hit in is not much.

The atmosphere in the room is very strange, and Ouyang Li and I look at each other, our eyes are always looking at the old lady, but the room is too dark, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

After a while, the old lady finally stopped shaking, and she asked us in her old voice, "if you have anything you want to know, just ask."

The old lady closed her eyes. I took a look at Ouyang Li beside me. I knew that I had to ask at this time, and I couldn't manage a lot.

So I asked, "do you know the origin of Shiqiao Town?"

"I know."

We listened to the old lady. There was no difference between what I heard from the old lady below. It was all found by a boy on the stone bridge. Later, he was raised. When he grew up, he came back here with money and rebuilt the stone bridge town.

"Do you know what happened when the town was finished? Why isn't there a family surnamed Shi in Shiqiao Town? It's called xiaoshiqiao village. What's the relationship between it and Shiqiao Town below? Why are all the people here right? What's the difference between right and stone? "

The questions I asked seemed to be a little too many. The old lady's rocking chair began to shake up. Then she looked towards me and opened her eyes that saw a lot of things.

Seeing me, the old lady turned her head slowly, and then she told a story of a long time ago, which involved a lot of tragic events.
