CHAPTER XXVI

The sky suddenly drizzled, Lin Chenggong took Ma Feiyue and Hu Jun to a place called Xiao Village on the outskirts of Nankou City, and after some inquiry and searching, he found Xiao Hu's tombstone in a wilderness, a lonely tomb, which was particularly desolate and sad.

"Huzi, I've come to see you. Thinking of the fresh young man back then, Lin Chenggong's eyes were full of tears, Xiao Hu was the one who cried the most at the farewell banquet where he joined the army, and said that he would see each other again when the boss came back, but he didn't expect that that moment was goodbye.

"Huzi, you rest in peace, the boss has avenged you, Chen Xiaoyao is dead, our brothers can't see each other again in this life, and we will reunite in the next life to do something together." Ma Feiyue and Hu Jun both saw the scene of Xiao Hu being tyrannized by Chen Xiaoyao with their own eyes, remembering the tragic situation at that time, both of them were full of tears, only hating themselves for being incompetent and unable to save their brothers.

The three of them lit a bunch of incense paper and some paper money, Ma Feiyue cried and said: "Huzi, this is the money we burned for you, don't be reluctant to spend it like before, buy whatever you want, give me whatever else you need, I will definitely burn it to you in time, as long as you have a happy life over there." ”

"Huzi, I know you must still be worried about us, the boss is back, don't worry about anything, you eat and drink well over there, wait for us to go down to you later, our brothers will compare and compare to see if you have grown." Hu Jun also burst into tears.

Seeing that the incense paper turned into cigarette ash, Lin Chenggong lit the 10,000 firecrackers, only to hear a deafening sound, Lin Chenggong shouted: "The big ghosts and little ghosts have heard it, my brother is alone in Jiuquan, don't bully him to be weak, otherwise I, Lin Chenggong, will not let you go when I chase him to the eighteenth layer of hell." ”

"Kowtow to Huzi. As soon as Lin Chenggong's voice fell, the three of them kowtowed three times in unison, the rain gradually became heavier, and the three people's bodies were already soaked.

"Huzi, we will come to see you every year in the future. Lin Chenggong stroked Xiao Hu's tombstone, as if he was caressing his shoulder.

The three of them wiped away their tears and were about to leave, when they suddenly saw a seventy or eighty-year-old grandmother on crutches, and she didn't care about the rain and muddy, the road was slippery, and she ran over, and the old man didn't care about anything else, just fell down in front of Xiao Hu's grave and cried, "Grandson, whoever dares to get up your grave today must step on your grandmother's body." ”

Lin Chenggong and the three of them were shocked when they heard this, and asked, "Old man, who wants to raise this grave?"

Grandma Xiao glared at Lin Chenggong fiercely and said, "The cat is crying and the mouse is fake compassion, you even came to burn paper money for my grandson, what's the matter, are you afraid that my grandson will come to you in the middle of the night?"

Lin Chenggong and the three of them didn't understand what this meant, and Hu Jun said: "Grandma Xiao, do you still know me? A few years ago, Huzi and I went to your house to play, and you even went to pick lotus pods and made lotus leaf rice for me to eat. ”

"Are you...... You are...... Wildly...... Hu ...... "Grandma Xiao looked at Hu Jun and seemed to be a little impressed.

"I'm Hu Jun. Hu Jun pointed at Lin Chenggong and Ma Feiyue and said: "They are also good friends of Huzi, and today we specially came to see Huzi." ”

Grandma Xiao nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes, you are Hu Jun, what a good young man, the same year as Huzi, if Huzi is still alive, he will be as old as you......" Grandma Xiao said again, wiped a handful of tears and said to Lin Chenggong and Ma Feiyue: "Thank you, I thought you were here to start the grave." ”

"Grandma Xiao, who do you say is going to raise Huzi's grave, what's the matter?" Lin Chenggong asked.

Speaking of this, Grandma Xiao was sad, "The land where Huzi was buried is in the village, and now I heard that this land is going to be expropriated to build a railway, and the village will inform Huzi's grave that it must be moved, I want to move to the ancestral grave of the Xiao family, and be with Huzi's parents, but the people in the ancestral hall are not allowed, so that my Huzi has nowhere to go, and the people in the village said that they will send someone to dig the grave today, but if they don't give me Huzi a place to live, I will never let them move this grave." ”

"Why wasn't it buried in the ancestral grave in the first place? Lin Chengfeng asked.

"Hey, this is the rule, those who die in vain are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, and the young people who die in vain are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, otherwise the feng shui will be damaged, and the people of all clans will be unlucky. Grandma Xiao said a little helplessly.

What kind of rules is this, there are all kinds of ways to die, who can guarantee that he will live a lifetime and die in the end? What feng shui, Lin Chenggong only believes in moral conscience all his life, and if he has a good conscience, he will not be unlucky, and if he has no conscience and no morality, he will suffer sooner or later, what feng shui is not feng shui.

Just as a few people were talking, I saw a few people walking from afar, all wearing black raincoats and hats because it was raining, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and a small excavator came at the same time.

"Grandma Xiao, the time limit has arrived, and you haven't left this grave yet, so we have to force it. A person who looked like a village cadre came over and said.

"A few more days, I'm thinking of a way, I'll talk to the patriarch and see if I can enter the ancestral tomb. Grandma Xiao rushed at the comer.

"Grandma Xiao, you can't do this, you have received the subsidy for moving the grave, and you have delayed the deadline again and again, you can't delay the construction of the country, and besides, the people who died in vain can't enter the ancestral grave, this is a rule for hundreds of years, and it can't be changed. The village cadre said.

"I know, I know......" Grandma Xiao just struck at the village cadres, "I'll think of a way." ”

"No, no, no, there's no negotiable, the day has come. As soon as the village cadre said and waved his hand, the excavator slowly drove over.

Lin Chenggong stepped forward and handed each of the village cadres a cigarette, and said: "You can be accommodating again, let's go to the patriarch to discuss, if it really doesn't work, we'll find a way." ”

"Who are you?" the village cadre asked.

"We are friends of Xiao Hu, see if you can give us half a day, whether we can find a place or not, whether we can enter the ancestral grave or not, you can all start the grave, okay." Lin Chenggong said very sincerely.

The village cadres were still a little hesitant, Lin Chenggong directly took out some cash, stuffed a few hundred yuan per person, and "used it to buy cigarettes and smoke." ”

"If you can't accept it, we won't accept it, we'll wait for you for half a day. ”

After Lin Chenggong thanked him, he said to Grandma Xiao: "Grandma Xiao, take us to see the patriarch." ”

Grandma Xiao didn't expect things to take a turn for the better, and she didn't feel happy, but in the blink of an eye, she looked embarrassed, "The patriarch is not easy to deal with, the most powerful person in our village is old-fashioned and intolerant, and he used to have a holiday with my grandfather when he was young, so I'm afraid of ......."

"Grandma Xiao, don't worry, let's go talk, maybe it'll be fine. Lin Chenggong said.

Grandma Xiao nodded and led Lin Chenggong and the three of them to the patriarch's house.

The patriarch Xiao Guochang was calculating something in the account book, calculating, and he suddenly scolded: "These dogs, who usually drive luxury cars and buy new houses, either say that they are big bosses, or that their sons and daughters are professors in the United States, which gives the ancestors a money to build an ancestral hall, either 3,000 or 5,000, and no one even pays 10,000, and there are 300, which is also embarrassing, I will take a look at this, the grandson of the old five families, didn't he say that he became the director of the city hospital?" Just out of three hundred, the ancestors can't look down on it, people build ancestral halls, become the big boss's descendants directly out of one million, that engraved on the descendants of the merit monument to do a lot of things, pitiful, poor my old Xiao family did not produce a hero, the three thousand five thousand carved merit monument is not too disgraced to the face of the ancestors. ”

"Old man, Huzi's grandmother is here again, and she is leading three young people. Xiao Guochang's wife said.

Xiao Guochang was surprised where Huzi's grandmother had found three young people, and he was also thinking about why she was looking for these three young people? Grandma Xiao had already walked in, "Patriarch, uncle, where are you at home, hehehe......

Xiao Guochang glanced at Grandma Xiao casually, and then, his eyes were fixed on the three young people, these three young people, Two of them have blazing eyes, but their faces have a bit of vicissitudes, which is different from ordinary young people, obviously these two are people who have gone through great disasters and disasters, ups and downs, Xiao Guochang's eyes are circulating, when he saw Lin Chenggong, his eyes were unconscious, this young man's momentum was extraordinary, standing there without saying a word, but the momentum was like thousands of troops pressing the border, Xiao Guochang could be the patriarch at that time, naturally he was not an idle person, and he still had a little bit of eyesight.

Lin Chenggong's gaze and Xiao Guochang's eyes met, one of them was clear, powerful, bright and upright, and the other was a little turbid mixed with a little tricky and eccentric, the two looked at each other for a long time, Xiao Guochang suddenly felt a little out of breath, how could this be? Xiao Guochang was a little puzzled, he was also the head of a clan, not to mention the majestic momentum, not to mention the younger generations, even some older people were respectful when they saw him, why was he suppressed by the other party's eyes in the face of this young man? Xiao Guochang's heart swelled up with a burst of unhappiness.

"Patriarch and uncle, hehehe, can you see that Huzi's affairs can be accommodating?" said Xiao Guochang, who was on crutches and almost begging.

"Auntie, I said that you can't be accommodating, if you let Huzi enter the ancestral grave, it will break the feng shui, and our whole clan will be unlucky. Xiao Guochang said embarrassedly.

"Uncle He, Huzi is your own nephew and grandson, you can't bear to see him unable to enter the ancestral grave and become a lonely ghost?" Grandma Xiao said.

"The rules can't be broken. Xiao Guochang still said the same thing.

"Patriarch, the rules are set by people, and they can be changed at any time. Lin Chenggong said.

"Who are you, meddling in the affairs of our clan. Xiao Guochang said with a cold face.

"I am Huzi's brother, I have to take care of Huzi's affairs, Huzi wants to enter the ancestral grave, if there are any conditions, you can mention it, I will try my best to satisfy you. Lin Chenggong didn't come to quarrel with Xiao Guochang, he felt that this ordinary contradiction could be resolved by peaceful means.

Xiao Guochang looked Lin Chenggong and the three people up and down, although these three people looked like shrewd and capable guys, they definitely didn't look like rich people, and there were conditions to mention it, really think that he was a big boss or a rich second generation, thinking of this, Xiao Guochang said: " Our ancestral hall has been around for some years, and now we are raising funds to repair it, and the filial sons and grandchildren are all rich and powerful, if you Xiao Hu can also contribute money, I can also consider letting you enter the ancestral tomb, after all, you are also a person who is filial to your ancestors, and your ancestors will bless our whole clan if they have a spirit in the sky, so even if you destroy a little feng shui, you will not be unlucky. ”
