I played the world alone

Chapter 189 Is this token enough?

Xu Family Village.

The little girl Xu Yulan ran to the entrance of the village bouncing around with a bunch of candied haws in her mouth, which made the children who were playing at the door so greedy that their mouths drool.

An older and bigger boy had an idea, and hurriedly dropped the stone in his hand to block the way, and asked fiercely, "Xu Yulan! Where did you get the money to buy sugar? Did you steal someone's money!"

"If you don't tell me a little bit, I will tell the adults! You will be beaten!"

A few children nearby also gathered around, chirping and begging for a bite.

Xu Yulan stared at them, and hid the unfinished candied haws in her arms, carefully tucking them in, just like her grandfather did when he hid the money just now.

"Hmph! My grandfather bought it for me! I'm not afraid of you suing me."

"A person as stingy as your grandfather will buy you candy? You have to use your brain to deceive people, right?"

The other children all burst into laughter.

"You are the only one who dares to lie if you have a father who has no mother! Let's tell the clan elders that you have to go to the ancestral hall to kneel all night!"

"you!"

Xu Yulan's eyes turned red with anger, her mouth was pursed, and tears were rolling in her eyes, but her mouth was too stupid to speak out.

At this moment, Grandpa's angry voice suddenly came from behind him.

"A bunch of little bastards! How dare you swear behind your back! See if I don't beat you up!"

When the children saw Xu Guang trotting over from behind, they immediately dispersed and ran towards their house happily.

Xu Guang didn't continue to chase, but walked to his granddaughter cursing.

"Why are you crying! The next time they dare to bully you, you can come to me. These little bastards don't know how much they are without a beating."

Xu Yulan rubbed her eyes, lowered her head and hummed softly.

Xu Guang sighed in disbelief, turned back to Mr. Xu who came back to recognize his ancestors and said, "Oh, don't take offense, Mr. Xu. The people of our Xu family are still good, but these children are ignorant and always gossip and play."

"My baby is also suffering. Her mother died of dystocia a few years ago, and her father accidentally broke his leg because he went up the mountain to cut firewood. Not only can he not do heavy work on weekdays, but he also has to drink some conditioning medicine every month. The money is spent like this."

"Fortunately, with your money today, son, we can live a little better."

Xu Guang was feeling emotional while stroking Xu Yulan's hair.

Xu Yulan nodded slightly and wiped away her tears.

"Grandpa, let's go, don't make the guests wait too long."

Xu Guang patted his head: "Right, hurry up, it's just ahead, I'll take you there."

Xu Yulan was still trotting ahead to lead the way. Occasionally, a few passers-by carrying poles would pass by the side of the road, and she would politely call out aunt and uncle.

It can be seen that the village is not big, and there are at most two or three hundred households, and they can basically recognize each other.

Therefore, after seeing Xu Guang's grandfather and grandson, many people would look at that "stranger" with doubts on their faces.

There are few new faces in the village.

Xu Guang would introduce enthusiastically at this time, saying that he came back from outside to find his ancestors.

This is really quite rare, especially looking at the clothes he is wearing, he must be a rich man somewhere, and he has something to do with his poor Xu family village?

Driven by curiosity, many people who had spare time put down what they were doing and followed, wanting to see what was going on.

After making two turns, we have already arrived at the ancestral hall.

Xu Yulan was standing at the entrance of the archway at this moment, even though the door was open, she didn't dare to go in casually, so Xu Guang first stepped forward and stepped over the threshold.

The front yard of the ancestral hall is paved with stone steps and bricks, orderly, in sharp contrast with the muddy path outside,

In the hall, there are ancestral tablets, some solemn ancestral shrines and incense burners, etc. At this moment, three half-person-high incense sticks on the candlestick are slowly emitting a wisp of pale white smoke, and there are several offerings under the candlestick.

A few shriveled fruits, some vegetables that have been stored for a long time, but no meat.

Xu Guang shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle Ming! Someone has come to recognize the ancestors! Come and see!"

With the sound of "da da" wood hitting bricks, a gray-haired old man slowly walked out of the back hall with a cane, and two young men hurried forward to support him.

Slowly approaching, the clan elder Mingshu squinted his eyes and looked at it, and Xu Guang was not as casual as before, a little more respectful, and whispered the other party's information.

Uncle Ming nodded slightly, and gently stroked his long beard.

"Xu Xian? I've never heard of this name. But it's okay."

"Come on, bring the family tree."

"Yes!"

Soon, someone handed over a thick genealogy to him.

Uncle Ming licked his fingers, opened the pages of the book, and compared them carefully.

"Who is your father? Who is your grandfather?"

At this moment, Xu Yulan waited patiently at the door, poking around with a few kids.

There are too many rules in this ancestral ancestral hall. If these children dare to play around here, it will not be simply a few curses and a beating.

Maybe I have to kneel here all night, and I don't have to eat.

She only dared to watch secretly at the door, praying in her heart that this generous Mr. Xu Xian could recognize his ancestors successfully.

And she noticed that Mr. Xu Xian's eyes moved slightly. After glancing at the genealogy, she slowly said two names.

Uncle Ming was startled, and turned to the corresponding page.

"Their descendants?"

"Your grandpa didn't go far away, and the family has always been poor. His father went to the army to fight after his grandfather passed away. So far, there is no news..."

"That's right, that's my father."

Mr. Xu smiled slightly, looking very confident.

"Oh?"

Uncle Ming looked at him suspiciously, obviously not convinced: "Do you have any tokens?"

"Naturally there is."

Xu Yulan listened curiously, and saw that Xu Xian took out something from his bosom, but he moved very quickly and stuffed it into Uncle Ming's hand, not sure what it was.

Just when he was wondering, he saw that Uncle Ming's eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"Is this token enough?"

"This...um."

Uncle Ming hesitated for a moment, his lips pursed, his fingers subconsciously twisted his beard tightly, and he frowned in thought.

Then Xu Xian continued to place a heavy bet, holding his old hand and patted it gently.

"You can rest assured that I don't care if you ask for a penny, and I don't want land and houses. After I recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, I will hold a three-day feast here, and I will take care of all the wine and meat! As long as it is Xu, I will guarantee that the fathers and villagers will be full!"

"I will also call the theater troupe to sing, so that everyone can enjoy eating and watching!"

"By the way, I think this ancestral hall seems to be a bit old. It won't leak in this windy and rainy day, right? I'll cover all the repair costs."

Xu Guang who was on the side was already stunned, not to mention the other people nearby were all stunned and couldn't help swallowing.

If this is true, what a great deal!

They can't even think about it!
