Chapter 164: The Mysterious Land of the Tang Gate
In an unknown remote place, the houses here are all luxury villas imitating the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are planned neatly.
All the streets are paved with hand-carved bluestone slabs, which have the smell of thousands of years of time deposited, and are full of the feeling of history. The pedestrians are also dressed with a kind of antiquity, cyan indigo-dyed homespun clothes, wide sleeves and long hanging cages, as if with a chic wave.
Walking through the crowd, you feel like you've stepped back in time thousands of years ago, and everything is so unreal.
It has a very low-key name - Tang Gate, this Tang Gate is not a mysterious sect written in martial arts. It is a huge family gathering place, no matter what it does, everyone's name is surnamed Tang, even the aunt has to change his surname to Tang.
Of course, if the girl insists on marrying, the surname Tang will be deprived and changed to her husband's surname.
It is said that the people here have lived here for generations since the Tang Dynasty. There is no one in ten thousand who knows of their existence.
They seldom appear in front of the world, and do not participate in any changes in the world. In front of their houses and behind their houses, there are one acre and three points of land, and everyone has to work in the fields, living a life facing the loess with their backs to the sky.
If you think they're just ordinary farmers, you're probably going to be slapped in the face. People here do not use ox carts and horse-drawn carts, which are very primitive means of transportation, but they are extinct...... Phoenix mountain bike.
Yes, everyone rides a mountain bike, and young and old love the sport. Every year in October, on a crisp autumn day, a mountain bike race is held, and many children of the family come to join in the fun.
Because his medal has a particularly high gold content, it is made of full gold, of course, this is only his external value, and his most important internal value is that he can use it as a dowry and directly ask the women of the Tang family to be his wives.
In this process, the women of the Tang clan have no right to refute, and once they are lit, whether they want to or not, they have to marry the person who holds the gold medal.
If you really don't want to marry, you can only fade the halo of the name Tang, give up everything you get, and you can't return to the family in this life.
No one wants to give up everything here, because the comfortable life here can only be matched by the gods.
In spring, in the south of the town, there is a 10,000-acre pear orchard, full of flowers, like a colorful petal snow, which can make people forget all the troubles of the world.
In summer, in a lake and lotus pond in the north, take a small boat, put ducks and pick lotus, between heaven and earth, it seems that there are endless lotus leaves left by yourself.
In autumn, on the hillside surrounded by all sides, the maple leaves dyed red by the autumn wind are like fires, igniting your childish heart, and you can't help but return to pursue that splendor.
In winter, everything is covered with snow, under the eaves, under the treetops, there are long ice edges hanging everywhere, this is like a crystal clear world, the sky is full of snowflakes, can wash the dirt of people's souls.
The beauty of the four seasons of the year cannot be said, but this is only its external charm, and more importantly, the wealth in the hands of each of them, if they take it out, will be the savings of a wealthy family and a hundred years of hard work.
With such a huge wealth, its origin has become a mystery, and only the heirs of the head of the family can grasp this core secret in the past generations. There are many people who are greedy and set their eyes on the heir of the Tang family head, wanting to dig out the secret, they are scrambling to send their sons and daughters in, and then, ten, twenty, thirty, hundred, know that today, more than a thousand years, no one has heard this secret.
They couldn't even find out who the head of the family was. There were once people who had the audacity to plan a strategy to catch all the men, and then dig three feet into the ground to find the secret.
It's a pity that their abacus failed, usually looking at the idle Tang clan people, there is no sense of precaution at all, really when they do it, they know that the other party has long known their movements, just waiting for them to act, so they are all in a net.
This also dispelled the temptation of many families, but there were also families who fell into the middle of the road, desperately giving everything they had, and there were still people from the Tang clan who were accidentally hurt.
It was a thunderstormy night, and the young Tang couple struggled to escape in a small town with a broken umbrella and a swaddling baby in their arms. Behind them were several men in black suits, holding dicks in their hands, desperately chasing them.
"Woo wow woo woo ......" The child's loud cry was like a guiding light in such a night, so that the young Tang clan couldn't escape no matter how they ran.
The woman was so tired that she couldn't run anymore, so she pushed away the man next to her, "Brother Yi, you run by yourself, I really can't do it anymore, I can't drag you down anymore!"
"No, Sister Wan, there are many mountain roads here, we can escape, you have to believe me, I will not leave you. The man pulled the woman past her and ran firmly down a mountain road.
It's a pity that the children in their arms have been torn and hungry, and they have been crying all the time, and if they continue like this, they will sooner or later fall into the hands of others.
"Sister Wan, no, let's ...... Why don't you give up!" the man suggested with some heartache.
The woman didn't know why, stopped, and said firmly: "If you can go out one by one, why do you have to die together?"
"I don't mean to die together, I mean the child ......" The man ruthlessly threw the child under a tree, took off his black coat and covered it.
In the dark of night, if you don't look closely, no one will know that there is a child here.
Where is the woman willing to give up her own flesh and blood, she is excited to step forward and snatch it back, "No, no, I can't leave her, she is still so young!"
"Sister Wan, don't be stupid, if you don't leave her, neither of us can run away, and if we connect her, we will die. As long as she doesn't cry, maybe she can escape the catastrophe, and everything can only depend on her own creation. ”
The man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pretended to be ruthless and pulled the woman hard, and ran away all the way. They hid in the mountains, not daring to come forward, and were finally rescued two days later by the people who were looking for them. However, when they went to look for the child again, the child was gone, and only a dirty coat remained under the tree.
At this time, in Tangmen, a very antique courtyard, a woman wearing a double-breasted green shirt, her hair was meticulously combed, her face was still so exquisite, her well-maintained skin was full of elasticity, and only occasionally when she smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes revealed her true age.
At this moment, she is holding a somewhat blurry photo in her hand, constantly rubbing it against it, and the thoughts that cannot be hidden in her eyes can make people feel like death.
The man sitting next to her didn't know how many times he had seen her like this, and couldn't help but break the atmosphere with a loud voice, "Sister Wan, don't think about it, it's that child...... It doesn't have anything to do with us. ”
