Chapter 80: The Dusty Past

For many years, Tang Feng has never stopped exploring his life experience, like a leaf, the longing for the root is innate. (P~a~o~S~h~u~~o~M}

Thinking about seeing the old man's Tang Feng without the feeling of revisiting the old place, he rushed all the way to Zhenbaoxuan, a sweet voice came out of Huang Xin'er's mouth, and she asked Tang Wenyu: "Grandpa Tang, Brother Tang Feng, will he still come?"

The weather-beaten thin old man looked very calm, he put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Hey, old man, I'm here. Before Tang Feng and his grandfather finished speaking, Tang Feng walked into the True Treasure Xuan. The environment shapes the character, the character determines the fate, and Tang Feng is here today because he has this grandfather.

"Brother Tang Feng......" Huang Xin'er took two steps forward and came to Tang Feng, biting her lip and wanting to speak, Tang Feng smiled and said to her: "Xin'er, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good." ”

Speaking of which, Huang Xin'er at that time really didn't have a good impression of Tang Feng, and from the time Tang Feng called her grandfather's name, her first impression was very bad. Because of her grandfather's relationship, Huang Xin'er, who didn't want to see Tang Feng, had to call Tang Feng's brother a few times against her will. In order to save face in front of her classmates, when she thought that Tang Feng couldn't hear it, she said something that the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional, which eventually led Tang Feng to leave the Huang family. After that, her parents and grandfather didn't actually blame her, but her sadness is self-evident, and only kind people are sad about it. There is nothing wrong with girls, it is this society that is wrong.

Tang Wenyu shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't fix it, these are all children's things, we don't think it's a matter at all." ”

"Yes, we don't have to see each other, it's hundreds of years of friendship. Huang Taoluo stepped forward and patted Tang Feng on the shoulder, and said, "After your grandfather came over, I knew that you opened the Chinese stone, good boy, he is really young and promising." If Tang Feng is a little "obedient", maybe he will really be Huang Taoluo's grandson-in-law.

The old man praised Tang Feng again and again, and after a long greeting for warmth, Huang Tao Luo said to Huang Xin'er: "Xin'er, you go in first, we still have important things to discuss, children are not good." ”

"Oh. Huang Xin'er obediently replied and left, although she wanted to know what they were going to talk about.

After Huang Xin'er left, Tang Wenyu stared at his grandson for a long time, and then nodded unhurriedly and said, "Well, it looks like it's not bad." ”

Huang Taoluo looked at Tang Wenyu and asked, "Old Tang, have you really decided?"

Tang Wenyu let out a long sigh, nodded and said, "It's a matter of time." ”

Tang Feng vaguely guessed something, his grandfather was going to explain his family history, Huang Taoluo said: "It's a long talk, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

The three of them sat down, and Huang Taoluo asked again: "Old Tang, why don't I also avoid it?"

"Don't come with me like this, this matter has nothing to do with you. Tang Wenyu turned to Tang Feng and said, "Xiaofeng, this matter is very complicated, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Tang Feng didn't speak, just nodded silently, Tang Wenyu sorted out his thoughts, and said to Tang Feng: "China in the middle of the last century has undergone earth-shaking changes. The turmoil of the country means that the family is torn apart, from the eight-year war of resistance to the three-year civil war, it is not easy to live. The changes since then can be seen by all, countless family members, relatives, and friends have come to see each other across the sea, and the same is true for the Huang family, the Lin family, and the Tang family. Twenty years ago, an old man who went to Taiwan after liberation and rarely met after that was entrusted by another old man to find me with a baby, a vase and two letters, hoping that I would raise this baby as a * person, and that baby would be you. ”

"Huh?" Tang Feng looked at Tang Wenyu without blinking, and asked, "Are you always mistaken?I am your grandson, and of course one of my parents is your child." "This old man has been bored for twenty years, and as soon as he exits, it is a bolt from the blue.

"That's why you're being prepared, it's hard to accept, but that's the way it is. Huang Taoluo said to Tang Feng: "It is not as easy as imagined to take care of a child, at that time your grandfather was alone, holding a baby at a loss, and then he found me, and my deceased wife took you for more than a year." ”

Tang Wenyu smiled and said: "You almost really became Xin'er's brother, considering the trust of the old people, I still decided to take you back to the ancestral house in Sichuan." The three major tomb robber families, the Tang family, the Huang family, and the Lin family, the old man who entrusted you to me is the Lin family, so you should be surnamed Lin, not Tang. "The world is unpredictable, Tang Feng actually has the same surname as Lin Muyu.

Then, Tang Wenyu said something even more shocking, he said: "The Lan family you said is your mother's family, your mother's name is Lan Xue, it is not difficult to guess from the Lan Qi you described, she may be your aunt, I saw her once at your parents' wedding." ”

Huang Taoluo said to Tang Wenyu: "Old Tang, you can't say that, so he will be more and more confused the more he listens, and he should start from the beginning." ”

Tang Wenyu nodded and said, "Yes, let's start from the beginning." After that, Tang Wenyu told a more distant story. Tang Feng's great-grandfather's name is Lin Tianci, he studied in Japan in his early years, studying archaeology at Waseda University, at that time, his teacher Aoki Makoto took good care of him, Lin Tianci lived in Aoki's family for a long time in Japan, they were also teachers and friends, and the relationship was very harmonious.

Unfortunately, the hatred of nations tears apart the friendship of individuals. After 918, Lin Tianci returned to China, and within a few years, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and Makoto Aoki joined the army and came to China, and his mission was to collect Chinese cultural relics. Lin Tianci's son, Tang Feng's biological grandfather, Lin Quan, was a soldier in the Kuomintang Jicha War Zone at that time. After the fall of Beijing, Lin Quan was responsible for the work behind enemy lines, and Lin Tianci also stayed in Beijing in order to cooperate with Lin Quan's work. Makoto Aoki got an important piece of information from somewhere, the legendary Ming Yongle dragon and phoenix double bottle was buried in a Qing Dynasty Baylor tomb in the suburbs of Beijing, but at that time, there were many Qing Dynasty Baylor tombs in the suburbs of Beijing, and a Japanese could find a clue.

So, Aoki Makoto took a pair of Japanese soldiers to find Lin Tianci, and he courteously invited Lin Tianci to help the Japanese steal the dragon and phoenix bottles. Lin Tianci understood that if he refused, it would definitely be difficult to ensure the integrity of the family, but he knew the serious consequences after he went. Therefore, he approached Tang Wenyu's father, Tang Zhenglin, and asked him to help arrange for his family to leave Beijing.

Tang Zhenglin wanted to go with Lin Tianci after knowing what was going on, and planned to take the opportunity to kill Cheng Aoyama and all the Japanese who entered the tomb when robbing the tomb, because once the tomb robbing skills were mastered by them, the consequences would be unimaginable. Lin Tianci and Tang Zhenglin had a fateful friendship, and he finally decided to take Tang Zhenglin with him. After Tang Zhenglin and Lin Tianci went to rob the tomb with the Japanese, Lin Quan, who was much older than Tang Wenyu, left Beijing with his two families and retreated to the Huang family in Chengdu.

Lin Tianci, who was false and wronged with the Japanese, took his "assistant" Tang Zhenglin to find the tomb that Aoki Makoto said. Lin Tianci used the excuse that he needed to use a grenade to blow up the tomb door, and he also used a grenade to blow up the tomb door at that time, but Lin Tianci took the opportunity to hide two grenades at the tomb door. The tomb robbery was successful, Aoki Cheng got the dragon and phoenix double bottle, and when he came out of the tomb, Lin Tianci threw a grenade into the tomb and outside the tomb, while Tang Zhenglin used the mountain axe to kill Qingshan Cheng and seized the dragon and phoenix double bottle. The two people broke through with the weapons carried by the Japanese army and the dragon and phoenix bottles, in the process, Tang Zhenglin was shot, he asked Lin Tianci to go first, Lin Tianci refused, and the two exchanged fire with the Japanese troops on the periphery. In the end, it was Lin Quan who took the underground workers of the Kuomintang to take over, and they managed to escape.

According to the rules of the tomb robbers, they did not hand over the dragon and phoenix bottles to the government after the deed was completed, and there was no trustworthy government to hand them over at that time. In the end, the Lin family took the dragon bottle, the Tang family took the phoenix bottle, in 1945, Tang Wenyu's sister married Lan Xiaolong, who was also a Kuomintang, Tang Zhenglin took the phoenix bottle as a dowry with his daughter to the Lan family, on the eve of liberation, the Lin family and the Lan family moved to Taiwan together, the Lin family later moved to Hong Kong, and the Tang family of course stayed in the mainland. Unfortunately, this marriage eventually became evidence that the Tang family was a spy family, and only Tang Wenyu was left in the entire Tang family after the Cultural Revolution.

Lin Tianci, Lan Xiaolong, and Lin Quan died of illness successively, and in the mid-8os, Lin Quan's son, that is, Tang Feng's biological father, Lin Zimu, married Lan Xue, the daughter of the Lan family, and when Lan Xue got married, he brought the phoenix bottle to the Lin family as a dowry.

After Tang Wenyu said this, he took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "The story should have ended here, but Zimu suddenly sent someone to send you to China. ”

Huang Taoluo said to Tang Feng: "If you want to say that your grandfather is really a character, he and I felt that it was wrong at the time, after handing you over to my wife, I also followed him to smuggle to Hong Kong, but as soon as I arrived in Hong Kong, your father had an accident, and the official news is that he died in a gang fight." ”

Tang Wenyu's trembling hands fumbled for a long time before he took out two letters from his pocket, he handed the letters to Tang Feng and said, "Let's look at this one for me first." ”

"Father" was a strange word to Tang Feng, and when the symbol became real and his father was within reach, someone told him that his father had died a long time ago.

If you don't know, you may still have thoughts, knowing means losing forever, although he has long been mentally prepared, Tang Feng still didn't come back to his senses for a while. How many guesses, how many midnight dreams, but finally got such a cruel result. If he could, he would even be willing to have a nightmare come true, his father would go to prison for committing a heinous crime, at least, so that he was still alive and his letter would not become a suicide note. When this letter was handed to Tang Feng, Tang Feng's heart became very heavy, and he tried his best to keep his composure and opened the first letter-

Uncle Tang

On the day of his death, my father said, you can turn to you for help, the recent difficult to solve the matter, involving the safety of the family, personal fearless, only the young son can not rest assured, today entrusted to you, but also please raise the young son into a * person, if the difficulty, I should return to the country to pick him up, if not able to survive, then everything is suspended. If this son is not virtuous, then there is no need to tell the truth, if he is virtuous, please forward another letter.

The old family letter can also be regarded as a cultural relic, and Tang Feng, who knows how to identify it, is no longer in the mood to look at the payment, and he opens the second letter with a trembling hand.

Feng'er, when you read this letter, your father is no longer alive, and I am really worried about your growth without father's love and mother's love. But please don't blame me, family grievances always need to be resolved...... When you're looking for them, they're looking for you, and that's something that needs to be solved with strength, so you can't be brave. Once everything is ready, you can take the blue and white dragon vase to auction, and at that time, they will naturally appear. I believe in Uncle Tang's vision, he showed you this letter shows that you have the ability to resolve family grievances, but this is not what you have to do, in my opinion, these things are not important, the important thing is that you can live happily......

After reading the letter, Tang Feng put the letter in the envelope and handed it to Tang Wenyu, Tang Wenyu patted Tang Feng's shoulder and said, "Xiaofeng, you have grown up, you can do these things yourself." ”

"Grandpa. Tang Feng said to Tang Wenyu: "I want to go to Hong Kong again." ”

Tang Wenyu said: "You can't interact with the people of the Lan family now, there are still many doubts in this matter, speaking of which, the Lan family is still a relative of the Tang family, but you should be cautious." It's not that I don't believe in the Lan family, there is such a big thing in the Lin family, but the Lan family has nothing at all, this is too abnormal. ”

"There is one more point. Huang Taoluo said: "I have always felt that this matter is inseparable from Aoki Cheng, and now you can't disclose your identity, because they know the Lan family, so you can't go to the Lan family, which will only bring disastrous consequences to your mother's family." ”

The old people, especially the old people like Huang Taoluo and Tang Wenyu, who have run through the rivers and lakes, have their own experience, and Tang Feng still hasn't figured out how this kind of thing can happen in his family, which is also a little too bizarre. He thought about it, he shouldn't rush to the Lan family.

Tang Wenyu, who was relieved, said to Tang Feng: "Xiaofeng, I have completed your father's entrustment, although you do not have the blood of the Tang family in your body, I will still treat you as my own grandson in the future, come to me after this matter is dealt with, I will always wait for you." ”

"Grandpa. Tang Feng said to Tang Wenyu: "You will always be my most respected grandfather." ”

"Okay, this matter is over, it's rare for the two families to get together and have a reunion dinner today. Huang said.

Wave after wave, life is to use his own footsteps to walk the destined road, for Tang Feng, his life has one more challenge, and now he needs to think more.

Tang Wenyu was reluctant to go back to Tang Feng's house with Tang Feng, Tang Feng had no choice, after eating, Tang Feng said goodbye to his grandfather and left the Huang family. As soon as he returned to the Chinese Stone, Chen Yan pulled him and said: "Tang Feng, this time it's troublesome, the left and right are attacked, the branches of Hantang Baoye and Longbao Company are open across the street on both sides of our Chinese Stone. This time, Jiang Yuan and Yang Chengming moved their hearts and wanted to fight with us. ”

Tang Feng said lightly: "I'm afraid of him as a bird." "The trouble of the family is even more troublesome, he has never frowned, since God has given this role to himself, let's play it to the fullest.
