This time I went back to Shiyan village to worship my ancestors, which is the most orthodox one. The heirloom of baijialing's ancestral grave was untied, and the curse of future generations disappeared. The graves of Grandpa and dad looked more peaceful. The mulberry trees I planted by the grave are growing well now, although the leaves are still lush in early winter.
The sacrifices we brought were also very rich, because the woman was kind-hearted. LAN Xiaoying wanted to worship her grandfather. She prepared two at once. Burn Yuanbao paper money and pour a bottle of good wine. Of course, there is no shortage of soybeans and running meat, which they both like to eat.
I knelt in front of the grave and couldn't cry, but Bai tingfei and LAN Xiaoying wiped two tears, which can be regarded as filial piety for my brother. In order to avoid talking to acquaintances in the village, he hurried up the back mountain after the worship.
The mountain basically collapsed in half. We bypassed the collapsed part to the back of the mountain. There was no need to frighten the valley. He found a wide platform, put on sacrifices and lit Yuanbao incense candles.
Instead, LAN Xiaoying stopped crying and knelt on the ground, silently looking at the direction of the red dust Jedi. Bai tingfei and Liu Xiaomi prayed and ran away to play. The flower dance shadow saw that we were silent and felt stuffy. He sat in a grass and teased the little turtle.
"I wonder if Grandpa's soul is OK?" LAN Xiaoying murmured after a long time.
I comforted her: "the cave just collapsed. At that time, the train fought with the ice corpse. Both sides were hurt. Your grandpa will be fine."
LAN Xiaoying sighed and said, "I hope it's safe for the old man." After a pause, he said sadly in his eyes, "I don't know why my mother wanted me to be named LAN. Later, I thought it didn't seem like a coincidence."
I nodded gently and said, "Uncle Feng took you and your mother away. I feel that uncle Feng found something secret. Maybe... "
We have the same mind. When I said this, LAN Xiaoying brightened her eyes, cut off the conversation and said, "you mean uncle Feng may have been to Yehe villa, and Lao Huang may know some secrets?"
"You guessed well this time." I held out my thumb to her and then said, "Grandpa Liu Kui may have the same mind as my grandpa. They all want to help the descendants of the LAN family. That's why they brought you home from Yehe village. In order to make you forget your last name, I lied to you and picked it up from the roadside. And Lao Huang is from Yehe village. Is there any reason why he doesn't know the inside story? When the archaeological team excavated ancient tombs here, many people in the surrounding villages came to see the excitement. Lao Huang must have come too. I guess he had contact with Uncle Feng. "
LAN Xiaoying frowned and said, "but my mother didn't meet me at that time. They had contact. How did they talk about the blue family?"
I shrugged: "it's hard to speculate. After 18 years, I can't restore what happened at that time."
LAN Xiaoying suddenly jumped up and said, "I want to go to Yehe village and inquire about the whereabouts of my biological parents. Even if they are not alive, they should find their graves. Today is the day to sacrifice their relatives... "Speaking of this, tears have been swirling in their eyes.
So we ran to Yehe village, a few miles east of Shiyan village. There was a river in front of the village, called "Ye River", so it was named Ye Hezhuang.
In fact, I also intend to visit this village. After all, my grandparents lived here for some time. They may have met LAN Xiaoying's parents. Therefore, we may collect a clue here, which can lead to the craftsman of Shiyan village - brother Xi!
Although this person has a Shandong accent, I think he is a native. The accent is not accurate. For example, I can imitate a fluent Jin accent after two trips to Shanxi. Also, I suspect Xige is the lame man who lives in the barren mountains. Now think about it, in fact, the mountain is closer to Yehe village.
The living conditions in Yehe village are obviously much better than those in Shiyan village and Tiantai village. Cement roads, street lamps, large tile houses and small foreign buildings can be seen everywhere in the village. Many big girls and little daughters-in-law still wear thin and fancy clothes in the early winter, which is particularly fashionable.
People who have lived in the city for a long time but not in the countryside may not imagine the advanced appearance of the countryside, because many young people go out to work, have long been imperceptibly influenced by the urban fashion trend, and have lost their old ideas and traditions. They also have money in their hands. Although their houses are somewhat backward, their clothes are not different from those of city people.
Bai tingfei, Liu Xiaomi and Huawu movie all stayed in the car. LAN Xiaoying and I walked around the street. Yehe village is here, but I don't know how to start and how to inquire about the blue family. At that time, grandma LAN Xiaoying and her father came here anonymously to avoid disaster. Who knows the truth?
But I still have experience. If I want to inquire about the past, I must find an old man. There was an old man of about 70 years old sitting on the stone pier in front of the door to bask in the sun. I should go over first, take out a cigarette and hand it over. Unexpectedly, the old man doesn't smoke. But he could see that we were from big cities and had a very kind attitude.
I tried to get close to him, and then asked him if he remembered that 50 years ago, a woman moved here with her children from Shiyan village?
The old man frowned and thought for a long time. He suddenly patted his thigh and said, "do you say blue Wazi and his mother? Yes, it's been almost 50 years. At that time, blue Wazi was only four or five years old. "
The girl and I looked at each other and felt strange. Didn't you change your last name? Why is it still called lanwazi? LAN Xiaoying then asked, "which is his last name?"
"Orchid of orchid?" The old man replied without hesitation.
We understand that the change of surname only changes the characters, but retains the homonym. I asked them what their mother and son were doing now? However, after asking this, he found that the old man's face was suspicious, and quickly explained that we were distant relatives with LAN Wazi. We hadn't seen each other for many years, so when we heard about Shiyan village, someone said that we had moved to Yehe village, and we found it all the way.
After the old man cleared up his doubts, he told us that lanwazi and his mother died early. That was more than 20 years ago. Three of the four members of the family died overnight, and the woman disappeared. Seeing their pity, the villagers paid for two thin coffins and buried them in the West cemetery of the village.
"Why are there only two coffins? Where are they buried? Can you show me? " LAN Xiaoying was very excited and couldn't help holding the old man's hand.
This scared the old man. A girl's family flirted with him in broad daylight. Where did the old face go when people saw him?
"Let go, child..." the old man quickly took his hand back and got up to go home.
"You haven't said you can't go!" The girl is anxious. When she is not calm, she is more impulsive than me.
I hurriedly pulled her aside, smiled and said to the old man, "Sir, she misses her relatives very much. Don't take it to heart. After all these years, other people can't remember clearly. Just tell us where lanwazi's grave is. "
The old man was moved by my sincere attitude. He said that because he didn't have much money, he could only buy two coffins and put lanwazi in one coffin. Their graves are easy to recognize. They are surrounded by a circle of stones. You can see them at a glance when you go to the cemetery.
