Since the disappearance of his eldest son Chu Fenglan, Grandpa Guo has been seriously ill, and after recovering from his illness, he handed over everything to his second son Chu Fengqing, Chu Fengqing has three sons, and the third son Chu Qianyu was born to his aunt, and there will be no possibility of attacking the lord, Chu Fengqing is not very disciplined, as long as he does things not too out of line, he will turn a blind eye.

This Chu Qianyu and Fang Yiyuan are good friends, they don't have to bear the burden of family prosperity, and they are free and easy by nature, so this time Fang Yiyuan came back, and it was the winter solstice, so it was inevitable that the two of them would make an appointment with a few friends to get together again.

When the wine was drunk, Fang Yiyuan couldn't help but secretly tell his good friend about the problems that plagued him.

Chu Qianyu's chest thumped: "What's so difficult about this! The family tree is in the ancestral hall, while everyone is resting in recent days, let's sneak in and take a look!"

"Can I enter the ancestral hall too?" Although Fang Yiyuan drank wine, he also knew that this was not a trivial matter, the ancestral hall was the most important place for every family, how could others be allowed to enter at will.

Chu Qianyu's wine surged upward, and his mind was hot: "I can still lie to you! What is the relationship between the two of us! Wrap it up on me!"

By the next day, when Fang Yiyuan really came to him, he had already regretted it in his heart, but the words had already been spoken, and a boy of this age was even more reckless in order to save face, and he was going to go through this experience.

The two of them walked along the remote path towards the ancestral hall, and their hearts were full of worries, if they were discovered, they would inevitably suffer a meal. Chu Qianyu said softly: "Brother Yuan, this time the little brother has helped a lot, next time the little brother has something, you can't stand by and watch!"

"That's nature! Go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!" Fang Yiyuan said brightly.

Chu Qianyu gave him a blank look: "I'm not so unlucky, I still need to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!"

The two of them were cautious and cautious all the way, fortunately they didn't meet anyone, and they didn't care about one or two people, they just thought that the two of them were casually strolling, and after walking for half a cup of tea, they finally arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, Chu Qianyu looked around carefully, and there was no one, so he was a little relieved.

The two of them pushed open the black lacquered door, making a squeaky sound, which made people feel a little sore, and the light inside was dim, and they couldn't see anything at first glance. The two of them carefully closed the door again, and they didn't dare to come out, and it took a while to see clearly.

There were no windows inside, just a few candles lit, and the smell of incense filled the entire room, making people's throats tickle, Fang Yiyuan cleared his throat. Chu Qianyu hurriedly "shhh

Fang Yiyuan hurriedly held back his cough and tried to swallow a few times before he felt better. Asked softly, "Where is the family tree?"

"It's in that cabinet against the wall. As he spoke, he bowed to the rows of black tablets in front of him, muttering something in his mouth.

Fang Yiyuan also bowed respectfully, these are the ancestors of the Chu family, and they should be worshipped.

The two of them tiptoed to the left, the cabinet was not locked, Chu Qianyu gently opened the cabinet door, and there were many bound volumes of books in it, thinking that it was a family tree, the two looked at each other with joy, I didn't expect it to be so easy.

Chu Qianyu just wanted to reach out and take a copy to see, but he heard a sound of talking outside, which made Chu Qianyu tremble.

"Father, I just worshipped on the day of the winter solstice, why is it coming again today? Be careful, steps, father slow down. A middle-aged man's voice said respectfully.

"I dreamed of your eldest brother last night, and I always feel panicked in my heart when I wake up this morning, so come and worship your father!" an old voice said slowly.

Hearing his father mention his eldest brother, the middle-aged man opened the door and sighed softly, "It's been eleven years, and there has been no news, but it's not necessarily a bad thing, which shows that there is still hope, and my father must take care of his body before he can wait until the day when the water comes out." ”
