It's good to know Old Man Chen, which means that he didn't find the wrong place, and after repeatedly confirming that it was Chen Hong who he knew, Ye Kaigang's heart was half relieved.

Perhaps, this uncle can't remember clearly?

When you go to the village and ask, if you really can't do it, go to the village where Old Man Chen is located, such a big person, no one will remember that this is reality and not a science fiction film.

The three of them walked along this mountain road for a long time.

From time to time, large trucks loaded with stones whizzed past the muddy yellow mud road, and the exhaust and dust covered every passerby with a faint layer of earth.

From afar, I was finally able to see the village.

There is an old stone tablet at the entrance of the village, the words on it are not real, but on the fragmented strokes, you can see the writer's strong pen skills.

To the right of the stele is a brick house, which is a commissary.

Inside the dark green transparent glass counter, there is a small part of the cigarette, and on the other side is a very cheap snack. Above the counter is a red corded telephone.

Ye Kai was separated from the elderly couple here, walked into the commissary and bought a bottle of mineral water, and asked, "Boss, I have something to ask you about." ”

This boss is not young, his gray hair is neatly combed back, and he is reading the newspaper with round reading glasses.

"Housheng, what's the matter?"

"Do you know, Li Zhonghu?"

He put down the newspaper in his hand, thought carefully for a while, and said, "Li Zhonghu......?" The surname Li in our village is a big surname, but I have never heard of anyone named Li Zhonghu. ”

It's strange, I don't know anything.

Ye Kai wanted to ask carefully, but he was a little worried about whether it would make the old man feel that he didn't believe him.

They have always been confident in their memories.

Could it be the wrong name?

Possibly.

So Ye Kai changed his mind and asked, "Are there many people practicing martial arts here?"

"A lot. The old man's answer was very fast, and after any consideration at all, "In ancient times, there was a garrison camp of Dragon City here, and many people in our nearby villages were family members, not to mention how many of them were martial arts." ”

"Do you know the Fire Dragon Fist?"

"Hey!" he slapped his thigh hard, with a look of 'I finally understand', and said to Ye Kai, "I know who you are talking about, Li Erhu, right?"

Ye Kai asked, "Why Li Erhu?"

"His father gave birth to three sons, the big tiger, the two tigers and the three tigers, isn't this Li Zhonghu after all? And the Fire Dragon Fist is their family, but you are looking for these two tigers...... It's been going out for decades and never been back. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Ye Kai nodded in surprise and said, "It's right to go out for a few decades, this is ...... This should be the person I'm looking for. Does he have any relatives here?"

He almost didn't say that it was my grandfather.

Say it when you see someone! Say it when you see someone!

Ye Kai's mood was like riding a roller coaster, he was full of confidence when he came from Rongcheng, but since he got off the car and met the old couple. He kept getting a negative answer.

I don't know, I haven't seen it.

Now that he has finally received a definite answer, his mood can be imagined.

And after knowing that his grandfather had two brothers, he was not thinking about whether he could meet relatives, but thinking about what kind of character his relatives were.

The old man in the commissary stared at Ye Kai for a long time, put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "What's that, I'll take you over." Orphans and widows. ”

Ye Kai was full of question marks.

The uncle picked up a dark blue dress from the corner, shook it twice and draped it on his body, picked up a slender and slender cigarette stick, and swaggered with Ye Kai to the village.

It's better to go out in the countryside and don't have to lock the door when you go out.

The old man suddenly said to the shop, "I'll go out for a while, and you can help me look down at the shop." ”

"Got it, let's go, let's go. ”

There are people.

The two walked along the main road, and here was an idyllic scenery that Ye Kai had never seen.

At most, he had only seen the countryside on TV hills and in books. Ye Kai has also walked through a lot of countryside in Tibetan areas, but the scenery in Tibetan areas is completely different from that in the interior.

On the right hand side is a large mountain, from the mountainside there is a bamboo forest, almost all of them have built under the bamboo forest, and the bottom of the mountain is full of rape flowers.

It's like a heroic retreat in a martial arts movie.

On the left side of the road is the reclaimed paddy field, which is distributed in the word "field" and spreads far along the road, at least Ye Kai did not see the end of the paddy field. But the width is only a little more than a hundred meters.

On the other side of the paddy field was a river, and several buffaloes looked up at Ye Kai, shaking their heads and spilling a series of water droplets.

There is a bridge over the river, which is also a bit old, and the two ends of the wooden bridge connect a gazebo. It was in disrepair and left unattended, resulting in a dilapidation.

These things that can be called monuments should have many more in the countryside of China, but they are not famous. If this bridge is slightly decorated, it may be even more beautiful than many famous old bridges.

"It must have been very comfortable to stay here. ”

The uncle laughed twice and said, "It's more comfortable than you in the city, self-sufficient, and you don't have to go to work or anything." It's just that you can't earn two dollars a year. ”

"Isn't making money also for comfort, so it's pretty much the same. ”

"Makes sense. He took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled a choking puff of smoke, and asked, "Hou Sheng, why are you looking for Erhu?

"No, I was also asked to take a look. ”

While speaking, the old man took Ye Kai down the path and walked down the field, from the path in the middle of the paddy field to the rickety bridge.

Don't look like a farmer in the paddy field, but it seems that there are carp raised, and they are not afraid to swim around. I didn't care if someone would grab them out and serve them cold.

The bridge is old, but solid.

After crossing the bridge and continuing to walk for five minutes, the old man at the commissary stopped in a separate compound.

Is this it?

On the wall made of stone mixed with yellow mud, there was a black cat, and its alert eyes were firmly fixed on Ye Kai, a strange visitor. The cries of ducks and pigs could be heard from the unseen courtyard.

"Xiuman, Xiuman is not at home...... Someone is looking for you to pinch. He reached out and knocked heavily on the door, shouting again. "Xiuman. ”

The wooden door opened, and it was opened by a stocky woman.

He should be around fifty years old, but his hair is gray and looks like dead grass.

"Uncle Zhou, is there something wrong?"

The owner of the commissary pointed at Ye Kai with a cigarette stick and said, "I know Erhu in this later life, and I said that I want to give you a message." I'll bring him here. ”

"Second uncle?"

Yu Xiuman has no impression of her second uncle, when she married in, her second uncle had been gone for many years, and there were no photos at home. Ye Kai, who suddenly came to the door, was shocked and scared.

She didn't wonder if the second uncle's descendants had returned, but reacted immediately if the second uncle had been in trouble and someone had come to the door.

Such things are not uncommon in the village.

But those people are all fierce and vicious, and this afterlife feels very close.

"Come in first. She said, out of the way.

The owner of the commissary shook his head and said, "I'll sit outside for a while, and I'll come back later, so you can talk." ”

He didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, if it weren't for Ye Kai's very easy-going and well-cultivated sake, he wouldn't have said this place at all.

Ye Kai smiled at the two of them, and then walked into the door with his head down.

There are really a lot of ducks in the yard, this house has three doors, one of which is the living room, Ye Kai has already seen the TV placed inside, and the other is a firewood room with the door open.

The habit of cooking on a fire is still maintained here.

He took Ye Kai into the living room and said, "Sit casually, the countryside doesn't clean often, so I'm afraid of soiling your clothes." ”

Ye Kaigang wanted to be polite, but when he entered the door, he saw two little girls.

The older ones were seventeen or eighteen years old, with mushroom heads, dirty school uniforms, and short-sighted glasses. The younger one is less than ten years old, sitting upright watching TV with an orange in his hand.

Is this your sister?

Without waiting for confirmation, Ye Kai was almost certain that these two girls were related to him. There is no why, asking is the sixth sense.

The living room was clean, and the walls were yellowed but there were no footprints or any other stains. There is a pair of Olympic-era calendars.

The two girls were quite introverted, looking at Ye Kai with curiosity and alienation in their eyes.

The TV showed a family film that caught fire some time ago.

The woman took the orange and handed it to Ye Kai and said, "Come, eat the fruit." ”

Ye Kai took it and said, "Thank you, Auntie." ”

With this call, she knew that Ye Kai was definitely not here to find trouble, and she let go of the thoughts she had been carrying. also sat on the side of the sofa and asked, "What did the second uncle ask you to do with us?"

"What about the rest of his family?" Ye Kai asked.

The woman sighed and said, "Dad has been dead for many years, and my man was bitten to death by a poisonous snake when he went hunting in the mountains last year......"

Ye Kai pretended to be his grandfather who came to ask about the situation here, and asked a lot of questions for a while.

My grandfather died when he was a child, and my grandfather also fell ill and died. There was only one woman's husband and one woman who married into the city.

chatted a lot of questions, and Ye Kai also kept paying attention to their expressions.

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

Ye Kai saw kindness in their eyes, and some micro-expressions told Ye Kai that they were not lying. I believe they don't have the time to read the FBI's micro-expressions.

After all the news was set, Ye Kai revealed everything about himself.

Li Zhonghu is his grandfather and lives in Rongcheng. I came here to find the ancestral home of my mother and uncle, and to fulfill the wish they had wanted for a lifetime.

There are many relatives and friends in the village.

But the relationship is too far away.

Ye Kai personally thinks that he is very satisfied with having two younger sisters who are related by blood, the eldest is called Li Shicai, and the younger is called Li Shiqi.

Until now, he has looked timid.

The woman's name is Yu Xiuman, she has accepted Ye Kai's statement, and she is also very happy to know a relative. The slightly old face was full of smiles.

Ye Kai looked at the two girls, suddenly thought of something, and took out a small bag of snacks from his travel bag.

There are not many but many types, and Ye Kai has always prepared some snacks in his travel bag

Putting the bag on the table, Ye Kai took out two candies from it, the corners of his mouth flashed with what he thought was the most gentle arc, and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Kai." ”
