Chapter 1007: Grievances
Moon Lake is not big, but it is not small, just right. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The merchant village, located on the sharp corner of Moon Lake, has developed into an important tourist town due to its beautiful scenery and quiet environment......
On the gravel road by the lake, Shang Qing accompanied the old village chief for a walk, and from time to time he said a few words of homely things.
The old village chief was wrinkled and walked slowly with a cane, and he was already eighty or ninety years old.
"Xiaoqing, is your grandfather's health okay?" asked the old village chief, he and Shang Qing's grandfather were childhood playmates and had a very good relationship. However, when they were teenagers, there was a war that swept the country, and Shang Qing's grandfather went to join the army.
This walk is decades.
And when Grandpa Shang Qing returned to the merchant village, he had already become one of the marshals.
"Grandpa is in good health, and from time to time he talks to Xiaoqing about things when he was a child, especially with his second grandfather, you skip class and go to the lake to fish. Shang Qing chuckled as she spoke, and her grandfather would only talk about the troubles of his childhood in front of her.
Shang Qing's grandfather was two years older than Lao Cun, so Shang Qing was called the second grandfather.
Now, her grandfather and the old village chief are the two oldest people in the merchant village, one is ninety-one years old and the other is eighty-nine years old.
When the old village chief heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and then sighed and recalled: "Alas, I can't imagine that in the blink of an eye, I am already old, and I am about to lose my breath." Xiaoqing, the second grandfather told you, although your grandfather is older than the second grandfather, but when it comes to fishing in the lake, your ten grandfathers are not as good as ......"
"Second grandfather, that's not what my grandfather said, he said that he was a ...... in the waves" Shang Qing said with a smile, and was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"He's bragging, right? He said that he was a white strip in the waves? The second grandfather told you that it was your second grandfather's nickname, and he broke out of this lake. The old village chief pointed to Moon Lake and said disdainfully, naturally knowing that his old brother had said that he was a white strip in the waves, the first fish expert in Moon Lake.
However, his brother has become one of the most powerful people, and it is difficult for him to fight for the nickname of his childhood......
Shang Qing smiled and didn't answer.
"At that time, your grandfather was tall and big, and he was the invincible child king who fought all over the ten villages and eight towns, and he always dominated the general when playing games, and your second grandfather could only get a small soldier. The old village chief recalled, and couldn't help shaking his head when he said this, as if he was lamenting that time had flown by, and in the blink of an eye, he was already gray-haired.
At this time, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked over, and before he could arrive, he said anxiously: "Old village chief, it's not good, someone has broken into the stone house." ”
"Who broke in?"
The old village chief's face sank and asked, "Why didn't you stop them?"
"I can't stop them, they insist on going in, it seems to be the archaeologists of Sanxingdui. The middle-aged man hurriedly walked over, and when he saw Shang Qing, he was a little surprised and said, "Xiaoqing, are you back?"
"Uncle Dacheng. Shang Qing said with a smile.
"Ah, I can't imagine that Xiaoqing still remembers me. The middle-aged man was flattered, he was the one who knew Shang Qing's identity.
"What are the archaeologists from Sanxingdui doing here?"
The old village chief's face was not very good-looking, the stone house that did not know the times and history, but it was a forbidden place in the merchant village, and all the people in the merchant village talked about it with respect and awe.
Moreover, it is more fear than reverence.
And the grandmother who lives in the stone house can stop the children in ten villages and eight towns from crying at night......
"Did she wake up?" asked the old village chief at once.
"Wake up, she's going to leave them behind. The middle-aged man said anxiously, "Old village chief, you should go quickly, or you will ......."
"I know. ”
The old village chief had a calm face, with anger in his eyes, and he didn't know if it was aimed at the two archaeologists who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, or the grandmother who stopped children crying at night.
"Second grandfather, is the stone house really that terrible?"
Shang Qing asked suspiciously, she was born in the imperial capital and grew up in the imperial capital, although she had been back to the merchant village several times, she didn't know much about the stone house.
And her coming back this time seems to be exactly what the master intended.
Also, she faintly heard some old people in the village say that it seems that her grandfather and her grandmother had a grudge.
"Yes. ”
The old village chief nodded solemnly, then shook his head and said, "No." ”
At this time, Shang Qing helped the old village chief to walk towards the stone house, becoming more and more curious about the stone house, she vaguely remembered that she had been to the stone house to play when she was a child, and it seemed that her master was very good to her.
However, when the grandfather found out, he was furious and did not allow her to enter the stone house and contact her grandmother.
Soon, they walked to the stone house.
"Xiaoqing, do you know why your grandfather went to join the army?" the old village chief suddenly stopped and asked, "Actually, they were all forced, alas, don't talk about it......"
When Shang Qing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at the stone house with a frown.
Grandpa joined the army for various reasons, either to protect his family and defend the country, or to mix in the army to eat, or to seek a way out, or for his childhood dream......
Of course, in front of the world, it is naturally out of the defense of the country.
However, she didn't expect that the stone house was also one of the reasons, even the most important reason.
She was a little shocked in her heart, and she couldn't believe it.
Could it be that grandpa absolutely rejects cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and even the god-destroying operation decades ago is also related to this?
Is this possible?
But these things, the second grandfather will definitely not say these things, and the old people in the village will not say it......
"Xiaoqing, you and Dacheng are waiting outside, and the second grandfather will go in and have a look. The old village chief said to Shang Qing, and walked in with a cane.
"Second grandfather, Xiaoqing accompanies you. ”
Shang Qing said, don't say that she won't be afraid now, even if she wasn't afraid before, "Didn't you say that my wife wants to see me?"
The old village chief thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, let's go in then." ”
At this time, Shang Qing pushed open the stone door, and there was only a turbid yellow light inside, dim and gloomy, looking very depressing.
After the old village chief walked in, he bowed to the Houtu Niangniang behind the altar.
And Shang Qing frowned slightly when she saw the portrait, because she saw her own shadow in the portrait.
"Second grandfather, do you know what the senior wife wants to see me?"
Shang Qing looked around and asked casually, she hadn't walked into the stone house for more than twenty years, and she was about to forget what the stone house looked like.
"No one knows about her. ”
The old village chief shook his head, walked towards the corridor behind the altar, and said, "Actually, she has wanted to see you more than once, but she has been suppressed by the second grandfather. ”
When Shang Qing heard this, her brows furrowed again, what does this master want to see her for?
She could hear that the request of the master and wife this time was very strong, and the second grandfather couldn't hold it back, so he asked her to go back to the merchant village.
"Xiaoqing, wait to see her, don't say anything, everything has a second grandfather. ”
The old village chief advised, in fact, he regretted calling Shang Qing back, but he had to call, this kind of thinking is very contradictory, "In the past few years, her temperament has changed greatly, and many people have been scared ......"
In fact, the oldest person in the merchant village is not Grandpa Shang Qing, nor is he any old man in the village, but this respectful and feared grandmother. Because when Shang Qing's grandfather was still the child king of ten villages and eight towns, his mother-in-law was already like that.
No one knows how old she is and seems to have been there all along.
