At this time, Ouyang xuanzi said, "it's very clean here."
"Who are you? I don't think your voice is local? " The man who was blind was dressed in gray clothes, which seemed to be a monk's robe. He looked at us when he was talking. His eyes were dark and deep, but his face was red, which showed that he was in good health.
"We are Shen Qingqing's friends. Shen Qingqing's grandparents have disappeared. We have come to investigate this matter. Do you know about it?" I said, Shen Qingqing also said: "yes, my grandparents are gone."
"How long has it been since your grandparents disappeared?" The patriarch asked. His eyes were always on us. Although I knew he couldn't see us, it was still uncomfortable. So I went to other places to have a look.
The patriarch thought about it: "recently, I also feel that something is wrong, but I don't know what happened. I haven't been out here."
"Is the head of your village in?" When I asked, the patriarch said, "the village head should be my grandson now. I haven't left here for a long time. I will die here in a short time. Things outside have been asked for a long time. You go to my home and have a look. My grandson should be at home."
"Well, let's go to the patriarch's house." Anzi then went outside. We followed Anzi to go outside. When we got outside, Anzi said, "I knew that the old man was very stubborn and would not tell us anything. We'd better go to the village head's uncle's house first."
"Is that how you patriarchs usually do?" When I asked Anzi, Anzi said to me, "you don't know, he has to depend on others to talk about himself. Let alone others. He always thinks that people shouldn't be allowed to live here. Up to now, he doesn't accept people living here. A few years ago, my father had a cousin who married a daughter-in-law. That daughter-in-law was from other places. When he wanted to get married, he went to say, Don't marry people from outside. They're driven out later.
It seems that he never came out again after that, and his eyes. My parents said that he broke them in the ancestral hall. I don't know how, but something must have happened
What Anzi said was not comprehensive enough. We didn't know exactly what was going on. Since we didn't understand, we didn't ask any more questions. When we got to the village head's door, Anzi knocked on the door. It wasn't long before a man in his forties came out. He was ordinary looking and spoke very well. When he saw several people at the door, he asked, "Anzi's back, Did you bring back the guests today? "
"Uncle village head, I came back yesterday. These two people are my friends. This is Qingqing. You have seen both of them. I have something to do with you today. Do you know where Qingqing's grandparents have gone?" Anzi asked, the village head asked: "not at home?"
"I haven't been home for a long time, and I don't know where I've been. Qingqing's parents are not in China, so I've asked friends to help me. If you know, please help me." When Anzi finished, the village head felt that the matter was a bit serious, and then came out: "where can these two good people go if they are not at home? Uncle Shen can't work any more. Where can they go?"
"Otherwise, what do you think we should do about it?" Anzi asked. The head of the village came out and thought for a while: "well, I'll go to gather the people in the village and ask them if they have met uncle Shen. Even if they haven't, they can help."
"Well, I'll tell the villagers, too." With Anzi's words, the village head has gone out to tell others. As a result, we have been delayed for a whole morning. In the afternoon, a group of people are sitting in the village head's house. They all think that an old man and an old lady should not disappear.
Then I asked, "when was the last time you saw Qingqing's grandparents?"
"When was the last time?" These people can't remember when they hear me asking you to look at me and I'll look at yours.
An elderly man said, "the last time I saw them was at the gate of the ancestral temple. I remember they came out there and said something divine. When I asked them what they said, they said nothing to me. But I didn't see granny Qingqing's face very well. She said that this matter could be solved in this way. After that, I didn't hear anything, I don't know if it's any use? "
After that, I looked at Ouyang xuanzi. Ouyang xuanzi didn't say anything, but Anzi said, "why didn't the patriarch tell us the truth?"
"What do you mean, you met my grandfather?" The village head asked, Anzi said: "yes, it's in the ancestral hall. We went to the ancestral hall first, and then came here. But the patriarch said that he hadn't gone out for a long time. We said that Qingqing's grandparents had disappeared, and he didn't say that he had seen them."
"It's no surprise. My grandfather is just like that. He never talks to people outside. I'll take you to have a look again. Life matters, and you should tell us." The head of the village came out of the house and explained to the family a few words. He asked all the people in the village to help him find someone. He couldn't just wait.
The village head took us back to the ancestral hall. When we got to the gate, the village head was like Anzi. First he saluted, then he offered incense. After everything was done, he took us in.
Sure enough, the patriarch was sweeping the yard. Autumn was coming, and leaves began to fall in the yard. Hearing us go in, the patriarch asked, "who is it?"
"We're not." Anzi came in and said, the patriarch was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, and continued to sweep the yard. At this time, the village head walked over and stopped and said, "grandfather, I'm grandson."
"Ah Chang, what are you doing here? I'm not busy at home." The patriarch asked, a pair of eyes is still so empty, the village head said: "this is not uncle Shen, the couple disappeared, Qingqing looking for someone, Qingqing's parents are not in the country now, we can't just look at it, Qingqing and her parents are old classmates, now also can't contact, you say?"
"That's your business. When they leave the village, they should know that sooner or later they'll find out." The patriarch threw his broom to his grandson and went inside the ancestral hall. The door of the ancestral hall was opened and he went in directly. I think his legs and feet are sharp and he doesn't look like someone who has something to do.
After going in, the patriarch knelt down. The village head pulled Anzi and motioned us to follow him. Then we went in. At this time, we found that there were more than 100 ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall was very cold and gloomy.
