This man, named Zhang Dada, actually looks to be in his fifties, with a goatee under his chin, and looks older.

Zhang Dada's real name is Zhang Zhengchu, and he was very happy when he saw Shen Hai.

Zhang Zhengchu looked at Zhao Xu and his party, and asked Shen Hai, "Xiaohai, who are these?"

"Oh, the village chief! he's my master. Shen Hai said.

Zhao Xu introduced me to Zhang Zhengchu: "Hello, my name is Zhao Xu!"

"My name is Zhang Zhengchu, and I am the village chief of Caizhuang, you can call me the village chief. ”

"Hello, village chief!"

Zhao Xu put his arm across his chest, followed Zhang Zhengchu's example, and made a move to follow the local customs.

After seeing Shen Hai, these strong men who were guarding the mountain pass showed friendly expressions to Zhao Xu and the others.

"Go, go to my house! If my mother-in-law knew that Xiaohai had returned, she would be very happy. Zhang Zhengchu warmly greeted Zhao Xu and the others and walked into the village.

Some of the strong men guarding the mountain pass also followed back.

Shen Hai and some people who knew him well greeted each other: "Brother Gazi!, Brother Da Niu, Brother Shui......"

The people who live in the "Caizhuang" have very down-to-earth names.

The geographical location of "Choisho" is like a pocket. The entrance to the mountain is relatively narrow, and the more you go inside, the more flat and wide the terrain is, and there is a unique scenery of the cave.

Your province is located in the southwest, and in winter, although it is not like the north, there will be two or three snowfalls in a winter.

As far as the eye can see, there are rolling mountains all around.

The air here is exceptionally fresh and makes you feel refreshed.

Zhang Zhengchu took Zhao Xu and others towards the "Caizhuang", and he said happily: "Go, I'll take you to meet the God of Wealth first!"

"God of Wealth?" everyone was confused, thinking that this was the custom of "Caizhuang".

Shen Hai explained to Zhao Xu: "Master, when you come to our village, you have to meet the God of Wealth first." This is our custom here. ”

In line with the principle of following the customs, Zhao Xu nodded and didn't say much.

When they arrived at an ancestral hall, everyone looked around and saw a statue carved in stone at the position of the high platform of the ancestral hall.

Zhao Xu also thought that the so-called "God of Wealth" was the mythical Zhao Gongming or Bigan. To Zhao Xu's surprise, the man with the stone statue in front of him was actually Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Xu has seen Shen Wansan's portrait. So, it's instantly recognizable!

Shen Wansan was the richest man in the Ming Dynasty and a legendary figure. His wealth is even thousands of times more than that of the richest man in the country today.

It turned out that the "God of Wealth" believed in by Caizhuang was Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Shen Wansan can also afford the name of "God of Wealth!".

Zhang Zhengchu lit incense, chanted words in his mouth, and said some words of prayer. Then, let Zhao Xu and others incense "Shen Wansan" one by one.

After burning incense, Zhang Zhengchu brought Zhao Xu and others to the house.

After arriving at Zhang's house, as soon as Shen Hai saw Zhang Zhengchu's wife, he enthusiastically called "Aunt Cousin!".

Zhao Xuzhen was confused by Shen Hai's call.

Why do you call the village chief "Zhang Dada" for a while, and call the village chief's wife "cousin aunt!" for a while. Later, under Zhang Zhengchu's explanation, the relationship between them was understood.

It turned out that Zhang Zhengchu's wife was also surnamed Shen. However, it is not from the Shen family, but is given the surname "Shen" by the Shen family. She and Shen Hai are not related by blood. Therefore, Shen Haicai has always called the village chief's wife "cousin aunt!".

Zhang Zhengchu's wife is called Shen E, and she looks like that kind of virtuous woman. It's a pity that the years are not inclusive, he is already in his early fifties, and his face is already full of wrinkles.

Seeing that Shen Hai came back safely and soundly, Shen E was very happy and thanked Zhao Xu and others for her gratitude.

She asked her husband Zhang Zhengchu to accompany Zhao Xu and others, saying that she would cook.

There are ready-made bacon at home, as well as pickled folded ear roots, and a lot of food substances are stored. Therefore, people like them, who live in the mountains all year round, go out to buy two or three times a month, which is enough to live for a month.

Zhao Xu accompanied Zhang Zhengchu while drinking tea and chatting.

"Village Chief, I just saw that the God of Wealth you worshipped seems to be Shen Wansan, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhao Xu deliberately asked Zhang Zhengchu.

Zhang Zhengchu looked surprised, looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Do you know Shen Gong?"

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I like the history of the Tang Dynasty and the history of the Ming Dynasty very much. So, know some things about Shen Wansan. ”

Zhang Zhengchu didn't have any doubts, where would he have thought that Zhao Xu would be the descendant of the five great families.

Zhang Zhengchu explained to Zhao Xu: "The people of Caizhuang mainly have two surnames. One is surnamed Shen and the other is surnamed Zhang, and there are a total of 46 families living in the village. Most of the people surnamed Shen are the descendants of Shen Gong or the Shen family, and Shen Gong is the benefactor of our Zhang family. That's why we worship Shen Gong. ”

After Zhao Xu heard this, he stared at Zhang Zhengchu with a serious look on his face and asked, "Village Chief, is your ancestor of the Zhang family Zhang Shicheng?"

"Yes, it's Zhang Gong!" Zhang Zhengchu nodded.

Zhao Xu didn't expect the rumors to be true.

According to legend, after Shen Wansan made his career, he once supported Zhang Shicheng's Great Zhou regime. The two are very good, after Shen Wansan was killed, Zhang Shicheng once cast a monument for Shen Wansan.

Unexpectedly, the descendants of the two families have been living in seclusion in this deep mountain.

If it weren't for Shen Hai leading the way to "Caizhuang", this location would not be found on the map.

Only then did Zhao Xu know that Shen Hai was Shen Wansan's descendant. It is natural to understand why the people at the altar killed Xi Zhong.

He pretended to be very interested in the allusions to the history of the Ming Dynasty, and asked Zhang Zhengchu: "Village chief, is there only this one of the Shen family?"

"I heard that the Shen family in Jiangnan is the one that is the peak of incense. It's just that it seems to have been wiped out many times by those factory dogs. Now, in the Jiangnan area, it is unknown whether there are descendants of Shen Gong at the bottom. ”

When Zhao Xu was young, he lived in Jiangnan. He was still young at that time. I didn't know that there were so many things in my family. In his impression, he had never heard his parents talk about the Shen family.

Zhao Xu asked Zhang Zhengchu again about the killing of Shen Hai's parents.

Zhang Zhengchu told Zhao Xu that it was a stormy night. There are no less than twenty more men in black in the "Wealth Village". They killed and cut people when they saw them, in addition to the death of Shen Hai's parents, Caizhuang also died more than ten lives. Fortunately, a master rescued them, and the "Wealth Village" was saved.

At that time, it was Xi Zhong who risked his life to rescue Shen Hai and survived.

Zhao Xu frowned tightly and asked Zhang Zhengchu, "Then the Shen family, there are no survivors?"

Zhang Zhengchu sighed and said, "The Shen family is in the same lineage, and the others are like his wife Shen E, although the surname is Shen, but there is no direct relationship with the Shen family. In the Shen family, there is only one person named Shen Zhuo, who is Shen Hai's uncle. It's a pity that Shen Zhuo has experienced that massacre and has been frightened crazy. ”

"Crazy?"

Zhang Zhengchu nodded.

"Mr. Zhao, why didn't Xi Zhong come back with Xiaohai?"

Zhao Xu felt that he needed to tell Zhang Zhengchu the truth, and said to Zhang Zhengchu truthfully: "Xi Zhong, he is dead!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of something breaking not far away.

Zhao Xu and Zhang Zhengchu followed the prestige, only to see Shen Hai standing not far away, with broken plates scattered on the ground.

Shen Hai quickly ran towards Zhao Xu, took Zhao Xu's big hand, and asked urgently: "Master, tell me, is what you said just now true?"

Zhao Xu didn't expect Shen Hai to come out at the right time and hear the conversation between himself and Zhang Zhengchu.

At this time, even if you want to, you can't hide it. He said to Shen Hai in a deep voice: "Xiaohai, you have to be strong. Uncle Zhong, he's dead!"

"You must be lying to me...... Shen Hai shouted in a hoarse voice.

"The master didn't lie to you. Uncle Zhong, he's really going to die!"

At this time, Li Qingqing, Li Miaomiao and others heard the movement and walked out of the house. As soon as he heard Zhao Xu talking about "Xi Zhong", he knew that Shen Hai had already known about Xi Zhong's death.

Li Qingqing walked slowly towards Shen Hai, hugged him in her arms, and comforted him softly: "Xiaohai, don't cry! ”

"Brother Xiaohai, in the future, my parents will be your parents. Don't you cry, okay?" Xiao Yezi saw Shen Hai crying sadly on the side, and said in a milky voice.
