Langzhong is not big, a small city surrounded by mountains and waters, Yingtian Village is reluctant to leave the ancient town, just next to that nest of water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is hidden by an endless bamboo forest, leaving only the tranquility of the mid-mountain and the clumsiness of a pond.

We parked at the edge of a field outside the village, beside a somewhat muddy path, and a few wisps of cooking smoke brought my thoughts back to decades ago. This is the first time in my life that I have walked out of the capital, but I did not expect this trip to be so far away. That year, I came here in search of a girl named Liu Sisi, who suddenly disappeared from my life, and I was told that she had come to this remote village from the heart of the motherland.

That year, in fact, I was very clear about the grievances of the Liu family and the Chang family for thousands of years. Originally, it was an academic dispute, the different views on the dragon vein, the different choices for the location of the mausoleum, and the secret family matter behind the empire, no one expected that this not only led to the final split of the five surnames of Wuzhu, but also caused the descendants of the five families to fall into the trapping and vendetta of thousands of years. When tracing back to Tang Zhongzong, the Liu family drove the Chang family out of Chang'an, and more than 30 members of the Chang family died in Fengxiang overnight, but fortunately, the Chang family had already planned, and the other fled to Taiyuan.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Chang family relied on a hundred years of planning to bring down the Liu family and the Jia family in one fell swoop, and the Liu family had to live in seclusion in Bashu, and the Jia family was sent to Liaodong. However, since the reign of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, several chess games have become bigger and bigger, not only gambling on personal reputation, but also on the rise and fall of the family, not only everyone is a chess piece in the current situation, so what's the harm in betting on the national fortune? After the overall situation of the millennium, the Liu family lived in seclusion, the Jia family was broken, the Fang family went to refine the secret arts, the Zhao family changed their beliefs, and the Chang family could only guard an unsolvable mystery and wait endlessly.

At the beginning of my literacy, these hidden histories were my daily compulsory courses, and how could I not know the cause and effect, but at that time, I was lucky, the sea of people was vast, and the surname Liu was all over the world, and Liu Sisi would not be so coincidental to be the descendants of the Liu family among the five surnames.

But the historical experience of the ancestors has once again taught me that the entanglement of the five surnames has gone beyond the scope of probability, and it has long been karma. There is no small probability of accident you encounter, only a high probability of tragedy. At that time, I thought that in the year that Liu Sisi and I had known each other, she had tried to avoid the facts she had to face in her own way, and then she had a strong inner struggle.

Liu Sisi and I didn't know that her father, Liu Jisan, and my father had a brief meeting at the Xishan Reclining Buddha Temple, and we didn't know what Zhao Chengming of the Zhao family in Jinnan said to Liu Jisan and my father in private.

I only remember that the winter of that year was very cold, so cold that the blood in my whole body seemed to freeze, and it was so cold that my once hot heart began to become extremely hard. It was on the coldest day that a ragged monk came to my house. I've never seen my father's eyes so cold, and I can't tell if the man is a monk or not, because there are a few ring scars faintly under the sparse hair on the top of his head, and that's it.

I don't know what the monk said to my father that day, but after sending this man away, my father, who had always been kind and open-minded, became stern and domineering, and pronounced the end of my relationship with Liu Sisi with the ancestral family law that he never talked about.

At that time, I was the most impulsive age, so I ran out of home, and I wanted to discuss it with Liu Sisi, but when I arrived at her school, I learned that Liu Sisi had completed the withdrawal procedures three days ago and was taken back to her hometown in Sichuan by Liu Jisan.

I returned home and made a bold decision to go to Langzhong, Sichuan, and find Liu Sisi, I didn't believe that she didn't even want to say a word to me, so she never returned. I don't believe that Liu Sisi will succumb to Liu Jisan's will, and I will save her.

I didn't tell anyone, it took me more than ten days from Beijing to Langzhong, and I inquired all the way to find the place where I am standing now, but unfortunately, thirty years later, the mood of excitement and timidity at that time has long changed into a pool of stagnant water today.

"Chang, this is it, haven't you? You've been here before?" Seeing that I was alone in the middle of the dirt road, I didn't move for a long time, and I patted me on the shoulder and asked.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head, "Lao Cao, the grievances between our Chang family, the Liu family, and the Fang family, I told you before, and it has been thirty years in the blink of an eye, maybe the people of the Liu family don't want to say anything, I hope we don't run in vain." ”

"I don't understand, you wealthy families, there are not a few people left, what kind of grievances are there that can't be resolved? "Team Cao has overtaken me and walked to the front.

"Don't, I'll do it myself, you can't interfere in the affairs of our five families, you go, they won't talk about it. "I took the first two steps and led them into the village.

The courtyard of the Liu family still has some changes from thirty years ago, a new row of tiled houses has been built, behind the tiled houses is the old courtyard that I am familiar with, and the courtyard walls behind are half collapsed, and it is estimated that no one lives in it.

I already knew that Liu Jisan left two years earlier than my father, and now the head of the Liu family is Liu Jisan's youngest brother Liu Guoxing, according to generation, I have to call him uncle, although he is not a few years older than me. But when I really saw him open the courtyard door, I had to sigh at the ruthlessness of the years.

Liu Guoxing's back was all hunched, although he tried to straighten his body, but his chest and legs were still almost ninety degrees, this was not the young man who stared at his waist and looked disdainful, and I am certainly not the boy who stood at the door, did not dare to raise his head, and was at a loss. Liu Guoxing obviously recognized me, and a hint of surprise drifted through his face, but it was quickly replaced by a calm and gloomy expression.

"I really didn't expect that the third child of the Chang family, we would be able to see each other again, for forty years, right? Liu Guoxing let us into the courtyard with an expressionless face.

Liu Guoxing obviously didn't have the resentment against me thirty years ago, we sat down in front of the small stone table when he entered the courtyard, he also went to the house and brought a pot of tea out, and didn't ask us where we came from, sat down next to me, sighed, and said: "The third child of the Chang family, that year your father took Zhao Chengming here to pick you up, just like yesterday, in fact, your father didn't come, and we won't do anything to you, but I'm afraid that if I let you go like this, you will still be entangled, so I simply detain you, your father will find you and take you away, it is estimated that you will never be able to come out again, and you will die to find her heart." ”

"Don't mention the past, Uncle Liu, I came this time because I want to ask you something. As soon as I finished speaking, Liu Guoxing waved his hand and interrupted my topic.

"The third child of the Chang family, you found this place back then, to be honest, I still admire you very much in my heart, for so many years, you have not married, and let me respect you, you really don't want to know Sisi's whereabouts?" Liu Guoxing still looked at me with an understatement.

My heart trembled, as if I was being grasped by a large, invisible hand. I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Lao Chang, no wonder I've known you for so long, you've been single, and you've always had someone in your heart for so many years. Team Cao looked suddenly realized, but there was curiosity in his eyes.

I stood up and paced to the edge of the courtyard wall, and for a moment my heart was thrilled, as if the feeling of more than thirty years ago had come back to me.

"My eldest brother took Sisi to live in Langzhong for a while, six or five years, they went to Xi'an, after my brother died in seventy-five years, Sisi returned to Langzhong and lived for a while, in the eighties, she went to Shanghai to become a teacher, about five or six years ago, left a letter and went to the United States, after which I gradually did not have any news of her. Sisi, like you, hasn't been married for more than 30 years, hey, this thing got it. Liu Guoxing spoke very calmly, but for me, these words were like stormy waves, and I could no longer calm down.

"Did Mr. Liu look down on Lao Chang so much back then? I have seen the photos of Lao Chang when he was young, and he can be regarded as a talent?" asked Cao Team with great interest on the side, as if he wanted to dig out more content.

"This matter is placed now, it may be a completely different result, but back then, neither the Liu family nor the Chang family could cross that line, my brother actually did not look down on the third child of the Chang family, but valued him very much, otherwise, when he came to the Liu family alone, the Liu family could completely let the Chang family never find him again, and my brother could choose to let Sisi and the third child of the Chang family go incognito, and disappear in this world, who doesn't want his daughter to find his own happiness? But he couldn't do it at that time. Hearing this, Liu Guoxing's words were full of regret, and his speed of speech slowed down significantly.

After all, it was more than 30 years ago, so don't forget the purpose of this trip. "Uncle Liu, I didn't come to look for Sisi this time, I want to know, hundreds of years ago, why did the Liu family and the Fang family come to Langzhong, they have lived for so many years, what is the relationship between the Ming family and the Fang family, why did the Ming family just change the surname Fang?

Liu Guoxing looked at me pretending to be calm and laughed: "The third child of the Chang family, these questions are not the first time you asked me. Someone came here to look for me three months ago. Moreover, is it because of the old tomb of the Ming family on the Erling in Chongqing that these questions are asked?"

This time, it was the turn of the three of us to look at each other, extremely shocked. Could it be that before this case happened, someone had already anticipated everything that might happen and began to investigate everything behind Chef Fang?
