During the day, he held up the account book in his hand, and put it in front of Ling Ye as if offering a treasure, and said happily: "Ling Ye, look, is it this?"

Ling Ye raised his eyes and looked over, and sure enough, he found the words "Yaonu: Xiujuan" on the line of records pointed by Tiantian, and behind these words, there was also the information of the owner who customized this longevity lock.

"Liangzhuang Village, Cheng Hai..." Ling Ye read the last few crucial words, "This Cheng Hai should be Xiujuan's father."

"Well, it should be, so the owner of this longevity lock is named Cheng Xiujuan!" Bai Tian nodded in agreement.

The old man on the side also read the words recorded in the account book, stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, according to the style requirements of the longevity lock registered on it, it is indeed this one. And Liangzhuang Village, it is There is a village in the south of Yaogu Town, but if you want to go to that village, you need to climb a mountain to get there."

"Is it very far away? Is the mountain high? How long will it take to get there?" Bai Tian asked impatiently, and now he was a little impatient to find out the truth.

"It's not far, it's not far. Now the mountain roads are accessible by car, what are you afraid of? It's only about half an hour away." The old man replied.

"That's good, then let's go!" Nodding during the day, he urged Ling Ye casually.

"Thank you today!" Ling Ye nodded and thanked the old man.

"No thanks, no thanks, hurry up and go." The old man waved at them gratifyingly.

I found a van to solicit passengers at the town gate of Yaogu Town, and drove directly to Liangzhuang Village during the day and Lingye.

After about half an hour, the car crossed the high ridge all the way down, and soon saw a village appearing in the front of the mountain during the day, which seemed to be Liangzhuang Village.

Sure enough, after driving for a few more minutes, the driver stopped the car at a road junction in front of the village, "This is Liangzhuang Village, you can get out of the car."

After getting out of the car, we walked on the relatively spacious country road during the day and at night. The scenery around the village is beautiful, and the farm houses are located in the green forest on the hillside, which has a peaceful and simple taste.

As soon as they entered the village, Tiantian and Lingye saw a few men walking towards the entrance of the village, chatting and laughing together.

During the day, he hurried up to meet him, and asked with a smile, "Big brothers, can I ask you something?"

"Ask, ask, there's nothing wrong with that." Several men said honestly and enthusiastically.

"Excuse me, do you know where Cheng Hai lives?"

"Cheng Hai?" Several men looked at each other and shook their heads in complete doubt, "It seems that there is no one named Cheng Hai in our village."

"Why not? Isn't this Liangzhuang Village!" I was a little anxious during the day, thinking that this is absolutely correct!

At this time, Ling Ye said calmly, "It's normal for them not to know Cheng Hai. According to the calculation of time, Cheng Hai is definitely no longer alive."

"Then what should we do?" Ling Ye woke up Tiantian with one sentence, thinking of this situation, Baitian's expression was a little depressed.

Ling Ye glanced at Tiantian comfortingly, then looked at the men in front of him and asked, "Are there many people with the surname Cheng in your village? Can you tell me where they live?"

"Why do you ask this, my surname is Cheng!" One of the men asked strangely looking at Bai Tian and Ling Ye.

"Your surname is Cheng, so what's your name? Has your family lived in Liangzhuang Village for generations?" Asked Bai Tian, ​​looking at the man in his 30s in surprise.

"My name is Cheng Liang. Our family has lived in Liangzhuang Village for generations. But, what are you asking for?" Although the man was simple-minded, he still couldn't help himself when faced with two strangers asking around. Be prepared.

"We're just looking for someone, brother Cheng Liang, can you show us your father or grandpa?" Looking at Cheng Liang during the day, he begged earnestly.

"It's okay to see my father, but my grandfather passed away a few years ago." Cheng Liang said.

"Then take us to meet your father!"

So, this man named Cheng Liang took Bai Tian and Ling Ye to their house. In a private house, Bai Tian and Ling Ye saw Cheng Liang's father who was sitting in the yard chopping firewood.

"Uncle, I want to ask you about someone. May I ask if you know Cheng Hai?" Ling Ye is not good at this kind of communication, so whenever he encounters communication with others, he usually speaks more during the day.

"Are you looking for Cheng Hai?" The man glanced at Bai Tian and Ling Ye in surprise, and then said after a moment of surprise, "Actually, my grandfather's name is Cheng Hai."

"What, that's a coincidence! Did you know that your grandfather has a young daughter named Cheng Xiujuan?" Bai Tian raised his eyebrows in surprise, feeling that everything came easily.

I thought the man would nod his head affirmatively, but unexpectedly the man shook his head slowly, "No, my grandpa seems to have only two children, one is my aunt Cheng Mei, and the other is my father Cheng Bin. Said that there is still a little daughter!"

"How could this happen?" Bai Tian was taken aback for a moment, looked at Ling Ye, and asked the man eagerly: "Uncle, you may not have seen this Cheng Xiujuan, but you have never heard of your father and grandfather." Did you mention it?"

"Really not!" The man shook his head in affirmation.

"What should I do?" Bai Tian looked at Ling Ye at a loss, and lost his mind for a while.

Ling Ye frowned slightly, thought for a moment, looked at the man and said, "Who is the oldest person in your village, maybe he will know what we want to ask."

"There is an old man in our village who is 96 years old. He is not deaf and blind. He is healthy and has a clear mind. Otherwise, I will take you to meet them!"

"Okay, thank you very much!" Bai Tian hurriedly nodded his thanks.

After several twists and turns, Bai Tian and Ling Ye finally met the oldest man in their village under the leadership of Cheng Liang's father.

The old man's name was Zhou Liang. When he saw Zhou Liang, Ling Ye suddenly felt that the sealed spirit of the female ghost in red seemed to be agitated. Ling Ye frowned slightly to calm it down.

Sitting down at Zhou Liang's house, looking at the old man with many dimples on his face, as if he had gone through many vicissitudes, but his mental state was not bad, Bai Tian smiled and introduced himself respectfully, "Grandpa, I'm Tian Tian, ​​I'm here I saw you and wanted to ask you something."

"What do you want to ask, baby, tell me!" Zhou Liang slammed the crutch on the ground a few times, and asked loudly with his mouth.

"Grandpa, do you know Cheng Hai? Does he have a young daughter named Cheng Xiujuan?" Tian Tian also raised his voice and asked.

As soon as he heard Bai Tian’s words, the expression on Zhou Liang’s face suddenly changed, his originally relaxed state became a little tense, his slightly cloudy eyes were fixed on Tian Tian, ​​and he asked in a trembling voice: “How do you know this? ?”

"Uncle, what's the matter, is this really the case?" Cheng Liang's father was surprised when he heard what the old man said.

"Alas..." Zhou Liang sighed, and said with some grief: "That's right, you do have a little aunt, but she left early, and you haven't seen her before."

"But why didn't I hear Grandpa mention it?" Cheng Liang's father was puzzled. Even if the little aunt left early, it's impossible for the family not to mention it even once.

"Oh, you don't know, your little aunt died miserably. She is the deepest pain in your grandfather and your father's heart, so they never talk about it." Zhou Liang sighed again and said regretfully .

"You mean, this Cheng Xiujuan died very early?" Bai Tian suddenly felt something was wrong and couldn't help asking.

"Yes!" Zhou Liang nodded, suddenly looked up at Bai Tian and Ling Ye and asked, "Why do you ask this, and how do you know what happened so many years ago?"

"Grandpa, look at this, do you know it?" Tian Tian didn't answer Zhou Liang's words, but just took out the longevity lock from the box.

When Zhou Liang saw the longevity lock, his emotions suddenly became agitated, and he snatched the longevity lock from Bai Tian's hand, and after looking at it carefully, he said in a mournful and trembling voice: "Where did you get this thing? "

"Someone picked it up." Bai Tian replied.

"I picked it up? Impossible, no one can pick it up!" Zhou Liang couldn't believe it, shaking his body and shaking his head.

During the day, he didn't understand what he meant, so he asked suspiciously, "Why not?"

"Because, because this is Xiujuan's funeral object!" Zhou Liang's words stunned everyone present, even Bai Tian and Ling Ye's eyes flickered with strangeness.

Zhou Liang and the others were shocked by the appearance of this thing, while Bai Tian and Ling Ye were thinking about other things in their hearts. After a while, seeing Zhou Liang and the others' emotions stabilized a bit, Ling Ye asked, "Can you tell us this?" How old was Xiujuan when she died?"

"How old?" Zhou Liang's expression seemed a little dazed, but what he was dazed was not Xiujuan's age, but the shadow brought to him by that era, "Sixteen, Xiujuan was only sixteen years old when she died."

"16 years old..." Ling Ye muttered in a low voice, and then asked: "Can you describe to me what this Xiujuan looks like?"

"Xiujuan's appearance?" Zhou Liang frowned and thought about it for a while, then suddenly stood up on crutches, went into the back room and took something out of the cabinet.

After Zhou Liang opened the things in his hands, he discovered that it was an old photo album during the day. The surface of the photo album was already damaged, and there were some black and white photos in it.

"There seems to be a group photo of Xiujuan and Ming Yu here, yes, I remember it, there must be..." At the beginning, Zhou Liang didn't find the photo he was looking for, and Zhou Liang was a little impatient, and couldn't help but speed up. hand movements.

Finally, when he turned to one of the pages, Zhou Liang's hands stopped, and he stared blankly at one of the photos in the album. Suddenly, muddy tears appeared in his old eyes.

"Yes, it's this, this is the two of them!" Zhou Liang picked up the photo album and pointed it to Tian Tian and Ling Ye tremblingly.

Bai Tian and Ling Ye bowed their heads, and when they saw the characters in the photo clearly, there were different degrees of shock in their eyes...
