Chapter 21 The Strange Tablet

?We lived in the village, and everything looked calm, but we were actually just waiting for news.We are waiting for Xiao Hua and Blind Man, we don't know what other people are waiting for, and we can calm down for a few days after holding back.

The fat man is always pestering him to dig out the old house. I was not allowed to do things because of my poor health because I was not in good health. The housework was completely shared by him and the fat man. I was bored, so I planned to go and see it with the fat man. look.Before going out, he said hello to Poker Bottle, who was going out to fetch a load of water, and plunged into the village.

Digging out old houses is very particular. Generally, it means that people who search for antiques go to the countryside to find some old houses and old houses to see if there are any antiques left by the ancestors in the owner's house. You can pick up a leak, or the host probably knows something about the high and low, as long as you can make money, you can also accept it.But this kind of thing depends on the history of the village itself and the history of the houses of the residents, and secondly, it also considers the eyesight of the visitors. Sometimes some expensive antiques may be thrown in the yard as useless things. Black mud, if you don't recognize it, you will miss it.I don't really expect the fat man's eyes, it's not the same as going down to the bucket to touch objects, you can touch anything in the bucket, it's true, it's just a matter of whether it's precious or not (like Wang Zanghai, go down and replace things It is an exception), but digging out old houses is purely based on eyesight.

On the way, I told the fat man to keep his eyes bright. I really found something that made me look over first. I thought I was more authoritative than him in this regard. "Yes, yes, little Buddha Wu is amazing. You have helped me grow my eyes, and I will make red date soup for you as a thank you." The fat man said without turning his head, looking left and right in the village with a concentrated expression.

"Hey, look how naive, there is actually a wooden house in this yard!"

I followed the fat man's finger and saw a wooden eaves behind a small courtyard in front of me, so I said to him, "That's a brick roof, and the wooden house will rot within a few years in such a wet place. The eaves of the porch are only made of wood, which may be the remnants of the earlier houses."

The fat man clicked his tongue and said, "That's the old house? Let's go and have a look."

He knocked on the door in the past, and the fat man let a couple of old people at home warmly welcome him in with his mouth of deceit.When I went in and turned to the back, I saw clearly that it was not a house, but a small ancestral hall with three walls attached to the backyard wall, and there was a memorial tablet inside.The ancestral hall is very small, and everything can be seen at a glance. I shook my head at Fatty, who was chatting happily with the old man. When he saw me signaling, he changed his voice and said, "Mr. Zhao, I see These concrete houses of yours are quite nice, are they newly built?"

The old man smiled with satisfaction, and said: "It has been repaired for several years, and the old house before is not good enough. It happened that my son earned money outside and came back to build a new one. The inside is bright and bright. Walk around and go in and sit!" The fat man politely followed into the room. I knew he must have a look to see if there were any old ornaments in the room. I wanted to follow in too, but when I turned around, I suddenly saw a few memorial tablets and stopped myself.

Just now the fat man called the old man "Mr. Zhao", but there is a strange tablet here.This tablet is located on the side of the top row, and it is not very eye-catching, but it uses the "Rebirth Lotus Tablet", and it is the only one, not to mention that it says the seat of Chen Jing, and the person standing the tablet is Zhao Xiaobing.

"Innocent, what are you looking at?" The fat man patted me violently, only to find that they had come out when he turned his head. The fat man turned his back to Mr. Zhao, and pouted towards the door. It seems that he didn't find anything. I'm sorry. He smiled, and said to the old man, "I'm sorry, but seeing the tablets of the ancestors in your family reminded me of the elders in my family. Let me look at them for a while."

The old man smiled and said: "It's all right, this ancestral hall was originally to be demolished by my son, but this is the place of the ancestors, how can we move it casually, and it has been kept until now, let alone, our family is still the same as the main family. Woolen cloth!"

My heart moved, and I asked: "May I ask, is there an ancestor named Chen Jing in the old man's ancestors?"

The old man froze for a moment, and my heart skipped a beat. It’s broken. Didn’t I ask about the secrets of the family?Just as he was thinking wildly, the old man said hesitantly: "It's not presumptuous, but I don't know about it. You are talking about the tablet next to it, right? Zhao Xiaobing who set up this tablet was my grandfather, but at that time We also asked him why he set up this memorial tablet. After all, it is strange that it is not a family name. My grandfather only said that it was an earlier ancestor. As for how many generations earlier it has nothing to do with it, but my grandfather insisted on setting it up, so he always set it up. I guess it's some distant relative."

I saw that there was indeed a memorial tablet for Zhao Xiaobing next to him, but it was used for the tablet of "the karmic creditor". Seeing that the old man didn't know clearly, I couldn't keep asking, so I thanked him and planned to leave.The old man escorted us to the door, and suddenly stopped me: "By the way, there is another branch of the Zhao family on the other side of this village. If I count it, I still have to be called uncle, but they are all relatives who are four or five generations away. There is also this person in their small ancestral hall."

Relatives who are four or five generations away, and this Chen Jing is even more distant relatives who are more than four or five generations away. It's just that people with foreign surnames rarely enter the ancestral hall anyway, let alone...

When I came out of the old man’s house, I told the fat man about my discovery, but the fat man didn’t understand, and instead joked: “Maybe it’s a woman, it’s normal to be someone’s wife or something, but this old house is not It's a good deal."

I shook my head, I didn't intend to follow him any further, I wanted to go back to find Poker Bottle first.Actually, I wanted to go to Zhao’s house on the other side of the village, but firstly, the fat man doesn’t know how to do it here, and my younger brother’s observation skills are more subtle, so it’s better to bring him along. Secondly, I just came out of this Zhao’s house and went there I went to another house, which seemed a bit too purposeful, why not wait for a day, and then pretend to be walking and passing by will look normal.Fortunately, I was glad that my curiosity about this matter pushed me to investigate the truth.

When I went back, I saw that there was no one in the small courtyard. The water tank under the porch was only half full of water, and the bucket was not there. Poker Oil Bottle must have gone to fetch water, but he hasn’t come back for so long?With his ability, can something happen in this village?I quickly called out to Fatty: "Fatty, little brother hasn't come back yet, we've been wandering down there for a long time, he's not so slow to fetch water."

The fat man leaned on the chair as soon as he entered the door, and said lazily: "What are you panicking, the village is so big, we still live in it, just stand at the door and shout twice, do you want me to pass you a small handkerchief?" , you stand at the door, holding the door frame with one hand and waving a handkerchief, wiping your tears from time to time, pear blossoms raining and shouting, 'Mr., why are you so cruel when you leave your servant's house alone and guard the empty boudoir~', etc., it's okay—— —”

As soon as I heard the fat man talk about the handkerchief, I knew he must be a dog who couldn't spit out ivory. I ignored him and walked towards the door, intending to go out to have a look. The empty bucket was about to come up from below, and there was someone at the door stepping on the threshold to see him off with a smile.

"Thank you so much, brother. I really troubled you today. I really feel sorry for taking care of me like this. I will send you some homemade pastries for dinner later!"

Poker-Face smiled: "You're welcome, it should be, then I'll trouble Sister Liu."

I rely on!what's the situation!What are you doing smiling so brightly at a beautiful woman!
