When a camel is wary of outsiders, he will not believe what others say.

After he whipped a few goats that wanted to take the lead and ran away back into the group, he said a little impatiently: "What kind of mess is the old aunt and ancestor, what do you want to tell me when you come out of town to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, I told you that there is no such surname in this Daliang Village at all......"

When the old man heard this, he didn't care about it.

He understands that he is so cautious about camels, and any stranger who suddenly comes here to inquire about a surname, and says that he wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, will attract the vigilance of the people here.

The old man was kind to him, so he beckoned his three sons and daughters to come and said to them, "Come here, all of you, and kowtow to this lord of the clan."

When the old man's children heard that they were asked to kowtow to such an old shepherd herding sheep, the boss was not happy, and although he did not dare to disobey the old man, he did not take action for a long time.

"Bastard, how do you usually teach you!"

When the old man saw that his children didn't move, he couldn't help but shout: "Do you know who he is, it is the descendant of the guardian star god of my Yaoxing tribe that I told you about, and he is also the only one of the only remaining descendants of the star god guardian with the purest blood in this world, do you dare to look down on him when you see him as a farmer herding sheep?"

Without waiting for the old man's children to make a move, the camel knocked on the smoke pot and said coldly: "The old man can't stand it, there is no surname Xi you are looking for in this Daliang Village, let alone an old aunt, let's go......"

So the camel drove the sheep to graze nearby, and did not give the men a chance to speak.

"You ......"

The old man's son couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw the camel's attitude so indifferent.

But before he could speak, after his father had stopped him, the old man watched the camel go away, and walked to the archway, and was confronted by an old man with a cane and a felt hat, who looked a little confused.

"What are you doing in this Daliang Village?"

One of the old man's daughters said in a harmonious voice: "Uncle, we came here to find the family surnamed Xi, there was once a Taoist named Xicheng and my family had an intersection, he once left a message to my family to find the ancestors and recognize the ancestors, but to look for the family of the Xi family in Dongshan Daliang Village in this summer city, so we came here to ......."

The old man said in a daze: "You are looking for the Xing family, they moved out of Da Dye Village eight years ago, and I heard that they went to the south to specialize in feng shui fortune-telling, and they haven't been back for many years!"

Hearing this old confused answer, the middle-aged woman was also a little helpless, and said, "Uncle, since you said the Xing family, can you let us go to his house to have a look?"

"Alright, come with me!"

So the old man walked slowly in front of him on crutches, and the family followed on foot.

However, after walking only about 200 meters, not far from the location of the archway, an adobe house that had collapsed on half of its side and the fence wall was damaged, said: "This is the Xing family, half of their earthen house has collapsed for many years, they haven't contacted anyone in the village for many years, the village is poor, so they don't have the money to repair their houses, that's it......"

The old man's family looked at the half-collapsed broken house, and everyone had helplessness on their faces.

There were only two children who were curious and wanted to go into the yard to play.

But the adults immediately stopped drinking and quickly pulled them back, after all, the earthen house had collapsed in half, it was a dangerous house, and it was easy to have an accident.

The old fool took them to the dilapidated house, and walked away slowly.

The middle-aged woman saw two old men squatting under the wall of a brick house not far away, and whispering something to them, so she wanted to go over and ask again.

The old man stopped his daughter and said: "No need to ask, these left-behind old people are very wary of strangers from outside, you can't ask what the result is, this can only say that we came at the wrong time!"

"Dad, you said the time is wrong, is it early or late?"

The old man sighed: "It's two months late, if it weren't for my old illness that time, there wouldn't be so many things, alas......"

"So what are we going to do now, go back?"

The old man didn't speak, and his eyes looked at the east mountain behind the village a little distracted.

At this time, an old man surnamed Li, who was carrying a hoe and returning from the field, came to him, looked at the family a few times, and said, "The camel told me that you are looking for the Xing family, right?"

The middle-aged woman was a little excited, so she stepped forward and said, "Uncle, do you know?"

After the old man surnamed Li put down the hoe, he wiped his sweat and said, "You are also surnamed Xing, from the capital?"

"Yes, we used to have some intersections with Daoist Xicheng, so we found this place under his guidance......"

"You said Xing Xicheng, after that kid went to Longhu Mountain to become a Taoist priest, he came back once over the years, and he also left something with me, saying that if someone surnamed Xing from the capital came to him, he would hand it over to you, and you would come with me to get it......"

As he spoke, the old man surnamed Li walked towards a small farm yard in the middle of the village.

Several adults in the family glanced at each other, so they followed to the small courtyard.

There was a table in the small courtyard, and the old man surnamed Li asked them to sit there.

On the east side, there is a vegetable garden with some vegetables and fruits.

The old man surnamed Li went to pick a watermelon and cut it into pieces for a few people, and said: "There is nothing in the countryside that can entertain people, and there is no good tea, so let's eat some watermelon, it is grown at home, and it is quite ......sweet."

"Thank you!"

The family thanked the master, but they didn't eat.

Only the middle-aged woman took two pieces of watermelon for the two little children to eat.

"It's delicious!"

The watermelon is indeed sweet, and the little doll eats it very happily, with melon juice all over her face.

After a while, the old man surnamed Li walked out with a shoe box, put it on the table and pushed it to the old man and said: "The things Xing Xicheng left behind at that time are all in this box, and the old man is curious and looks at it, but he can't see anything Mingtang, but I'm afraid that it won't be good if I lose it, you can take it, and I will save some snacks......"

The old man opened the box, only glanced at a red stone engraved with runes inside, and his pupils shrank slightly.

However, the expression on the old man's face did not change much, and when he returned to normal, he saw a piece of talisman paper drawn by a Taoist priest pressed under the stone, with a line of small characters written on it, and he didn't pick it up to look at it.

Then he naturally closed the box and said to the old man surnamed Li: "Thank you very much, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, I don't know who the village chief of Daliang Village is?"

The old man surnamed Li said: "It's the old decay!"

When the old man heard this, he glared at his son, and his son immediately took out a check for 500,000 yuan and said: "Since Mr. Li is the village head, it is just right, this is a little bit of our heart, and it is also a donation to the village, I hope to repair the road in the village, and I also want to ask the village chief to help with dim sum, and repair the old house left by the Xing family, our family is grateful...... "I want to talk about "Fragmented City" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
