Dad kidnapped me to join the army, and the whole army asked me to be their instructor.

Wang Yong grabbed Lin Hui's wrist, tightening it tighter and tighter like an iron clamp.

His eyes were filled with tears: "Brother Hui, Erhu...why did he die?"

"When we left two days ago, he was still alive and kicking, and he said he wanted to treat us to chickens, ducks, and geese. Why did he die?"

Thousands of thunderbolts struck Lin Hui's mind, and he was completely confused.

At this moment, the figure of Chen Erhu kept appearing in his mind.

The honest boy who ate the eggs.

They have known each other since the recruit company. They evaded training together, were sent to raise pigs together, participated in the first drill together, and made meritorious deeds together...

Scenes from the past came to mind, but at this moment, the comrades who had been with him all the way were gone.

Lin Hui's eyes were also filled with mist and his eyes were red.

At this time, a villager nearby saw them and asked in surprise: "Are you two colleagues of Chen Erhu?"

Lin Hui nodded vigorously and said in a choked voice: "Uncle, what happened to him?"

The villager sighed and said, "Yesterday, some children were playing in the water in the reservoir. One child suffered from cramps. Several others went to rescue them and almost drowned."

"Fortunately, he went down in time to rescue the people, otherwise those children would be gone."

Wang Yong burst into tears when he heard this: "Brother Hui, it turns out that Erhu died trying to save people. He..."

Suddenly, he froze, as if he had seen a ghost.

Lin Hui also looked over there with a confused expression.

In the "coffin" being carried, Chen Erhu sat up straight and stretched, with a lazy look on his face.

"Is it him?" Wang Yong's eyes widened in shock.

Lin Hui nodded vigorously: "It's the same as in the photo, it should be him!"

Wang Yong looked at the uncle and asked stammering: "He, he, he, he is not dead..."

"Who said he is dead?" The uncle stared at him: "What are you thinking?"

Wang Yong grimaced: "With such a big battle, preaching and suona, isn't it a funeral?"

"Fart!" The uncle was furious: "Who said this is a funeral? Which funeral is so lively? This is our local custom, welcoming the heroes of the clan into the ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors!"

Lin Hui and Wang Yong looked at each other and were completely speechless.

What the hell kind of custom is this?

Putting someone in a coffin and taking such a big photo, everyone would think they were going to a funeral!

The uncle said proudly: "This colleague of yours is amazing. When he came back, he was wearing a medal. The last time our village had a high official was 200 years ago, and then it was him."

"According to the village chief, he is older than our ancestors!"

"He is now the glory of our village. The whole village, young and old, have to kneel to him. Yesterday, he saved several children. Now everyone is convinced and wants to worship him. It's so awesome!"

Lin Hui and Wang Yong were smiling but not smiling.

Although Erhu also had merit, it was still a little less than Wang Yong. , only two-thirds of his appearance.

Wang Yong's face was full of anger and injustice. He went home and received only this little treatment.

When this kid went back, he was worshiped by the whole village, old and young, and had to kowtow.

What a pattern! This pattern is too different!

Wang Yong asked jealously: "Your village chief has never done any research, and his official position is really higher than that of your ancestors? Then how small an official must your ancestors be?"

The uncle said seriously: "Of course I have verified it. The village chief is his father. How can I not verify it?"

Both of them were confused. They had been arguing for a long time. Is Erhu’s father the village chief?

"That's wrong!" Lin Hui frowned and lowered his voice: "Did Erhu say before that he wanted to marry the village chief's daughter? He also said that he envied the village chief's family for having a big house?"

Wang Yong was also confused: "Yes, yes, I remember he said this too!"

He quickly asked Uncle Xiang: "Uncle, but he told us before that his father is not the village chief?"

The uncle was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, yes, his father went out to invest and do business before and lost a lot of money. During that time, he didn't come back, so his old cousin simply helped to work in the agency village for a while. long."

Lin Hui and Wang Yong glanced at each other and clenched their fists angrily.

You are such a beast, you won’t even spare your relatives’ daughters.

How beautiful is this girl?

However, Lin Hui finally understood.

No wonder Chen Erhu, a boy who has been raised with a delicate body, doesn't know how to do any work.

Is this the stupid son of an inappropriate village chief?

"Is this your ancestral hall?"

"Yes, all the ancestors of our village are here. During festivals, the whole village has to come here to worship."

"Then he is placed in the middle of the ancestral hall now?"

"Yes, since he is such a high official, can he not be placed in the middle?"

Lin Hui frowned: "It can't be because his father is the village chief, so..."

Wang Yong immediately approached: "Isn't he bullying others?"

"How is that possible? His father has only been the village chief for a few years?"

The uncle looked serious: "However, his grandfather is the village chief, and his great-grandfather is also the village chief. In addition, he is so promising and capable, and the whole village respects him, so he must be placed in the middle!"

Lin Hui and the two were completely speechless.

This is a damn official's family, the ancestral village chief?

No wonder Erhu is like a spoiled brat who can't even wash his clothes. It turns out that he has the capital to be pampered.

"I won't tell you anymore, the ceremony is about to begin."

The uncle turned his head with a smile, and Lin Hui and the others immediately looked over.

But I couldn't see clearly because it was too far away and there were so many people.

They could only squeeze in as hard as they could, and finally managed to squeeze in until they reached the entrance of the ancestral hall.

This squeeze made the two of them sweat profusely, making them even more tired than physical training.

Only when they got closer did they realize that this ancestral hall covered a very large area.

It is surrounded by green brick walls, and inside is a huge courtyard with green bricks and green tiles on the ground.

Just from the moss in the cracks, you can tell that the design is quite old.

In the middle of the courtyard stood two towers with smoke rising from them.

There was a bronze tripod in the middle, also smoking.

I don’t know what dynasty the main building was built in. There is a whole row of gates alone.

The window next to it is as tall as a person.

The carved beams and painted pillars look extremely majestic.

Wang Yong swallowed his saliva: "How big of an official must this boy's ancestor be, and how rich is he? This is not an ancestral hall, it's better than where the rich people live in us!"

Lin Hui patted him with a smile: "Now you know why he was like that when we first met him, right?"

Wang Yong nodded vigorously and sighed in his heart.

He has always thought that he was better than Chen Erhu.

After all, he comes from the urban-rural fringe area, and has some connections with the city, but this guy is just a bumpkin from the countryside in the mountains.

But now it seems that this is a rural area, this is clearly a paradise, and I am from the mountains.

Thinking of how he showed off in front of Erhu and Erhu nodded to him cooperatively, he wanted to slap himself twice.

What a shame!

"Look, look, look!"

Lin Hui pointed forward, and Wang Yong quickly looked over.

I saw a dozen big men placing Chen Erhu in front of a group of tablets.

Then several old people came over, helped Erhu up from inside, and asked him to sit upright on the chair in the center of the ancestral hall.

A middle-aged man stood in front of him and said to everyone: "Chen's ancestral hall, from today on, all the clan members know that Chen Erhu has gained glory and returned home in glory."

"Since our ancestors established the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, he is the most honorable member of our clan."

"So, from today on, his tablet will be placed next to the first old clan leader for all clan members to worship and receive thousands of incense."

"However, Chen Erhu is still young, and his tablet is temporarily the longevity tablet. When all clan members come to worship, they must be sincere and pray that he will live a long life and create greater glory for our clan."

"Did you hear me?"

"Yes!" So they shouted together inside and outside the ancestral hall.

Wang Yong took a breath: "My dear, this is so impressive!"

Lin Hui was also stunned.

Although he comes from a military family, his father is the commander.

But he has never enjoyed such treatment in his life. This kid is really awesome.

He looked inside and saw Chen Erhu sitting on a chair, his face full of discomfort and his eyes constantly looking around.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Lin Hui raised a smile on his lips.

No matter how polite Erhu was at home, in his heart he was still the naive, ignorant and kind-hearted boy.

At this moment, the middle-aged man stepped aside and shouted: "Come on!"

Lin Hui and Wang Yong were confused and suddenly saw the small door next to the ancestral hall being opened.

Young girls dressed in plain clothes came out one after another.

Wang Yong's eyes widened in shock and he looked at Lin Hui: "What are you doing?"

Lin Hui shook his head dullly: "How did I know?"

Soon, more than fifty girls walked to the front door of the ancestral hall and stood up one by one.

"change!"

The middle-aged man shouted, and more than fifty girls turned around and faced Chen Erhu.

"Turn again!"

All the girls started running around in circles.

Every time he looked at Chen Erhu, he tried his best to smile.

"Stop!" As the middle-aged man shouted, all the girls stopped and faced Chen Erhu.

Chen Erhu was embarrassed and his face turned red with embarrassment.

The middle-aged man shouted angrily: "Please Chen Erhu start choosing a wife!"

Wang Yong's legs outside softened and he knelt down.

Lin Hui wasn't much better, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Wang Yong looked up, his face full of envy: "Damn it, he can still choose a wife, and it's an audition! This treatment is much better than mine!"

He now wished he could find a hole in the ground and burrow down.

I originally thought that the battle I created when I went back was already awesome enough.

Now compared with Erhu, he is nothing but a witch, just like playing house.

Lin Hui was also completely speechless: "What the hell kind of village is this? Did Erhu come back to visit relatives or become emperor?"
