Chapter 51: Another Village
Duan Kefan was a little too big, how could this woman be so sensitive, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I'll take you to the ancestral hall first, the photo with Zhu Yunwen's inscription on the door was taken there, and I live there now......"
The group came to the door of the ancestral hall, Zheng Xiumei and her uncle stood at the door and carefully looked at the inscription on the door, nodded and said: "Judging from the handwriting, it should be Zhu Yunwen's inscription, and now the key is to see if there is any other evidence, go, go inside and take a look......"
When I entered the ancestral hall, I was not surprised to find that the ancestral tablets and other things that were enshrined in the ancestral hall were very ordinary ordinary people, but Zheng Xiumei was very surprised by Duan Kefan's accommodation conditions: "You live in this kind of place, aren't you afraid?......
Duan Kefan laughed and said: "What is there to be afraid of? Is there really a ghost in this world? I am not afraid of a ghost, the 'ghost' here was beaten away by me before......", and said that he took the matter of beating the giant snake as a joke.
Zheng Xiumei was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she said in horror: "You are too bold, what if you are bitten, what if it is injured and comes to take revenge on you?......", but her uncle glanced at Duan Kefan deeply, nodded and said: "All things have spirits, that giant snake is so spiritual, you are right to let it go, it seems that this place is indeed a treasure of feng shui......"
There was nothing to gain in the ancestral hall, so Duan Kefan suggested asking the old people in the village to inquire, maybe he could hear some historical stories from the old people and find some clues. There are a lot of long-lived old people in the village, there are more than a dozen old people in their eighties, and the longest-lived one is almost 100 years old, but perhaps because the age is too old, the old people have not been able to provide any valuable clues, not to mention historical celebrities like Zhu Yunwen, in the impression of the old people, there have never been any decent big people in Rongshu Village.
Zheng Xiumei and her uncle were not surprised by this, shook their heads and said: "Zhu Yunwen was being chased and killed by Zhu Di at the time, fleeing everywhere, and his identity must be kept strictly secret, maybe he did stay here for a short time, in order to thank the villagers here for taking them in and helping them inscribe on the ancestral hall, but it is not surprising that the villagers here do not know his true identity, but if you can't find strong evidence, there is no way to make a conclusion." However, the ancient buildings here are indeed too badly damaged, and there is rain leaking everywhere, how can people live there......?!
Duan Kefan was a little unwilling, thought for a while and said: "Why don't we go to the old party secretary in the village and ask again, he has been the village party secretary for many years, and he may know some ......."
So the group came to the old branch secretary Wang Caihou's house, Wang Xiaocao saw that Duan Kefan was not as friendly as the first time, glared at him angrily, and hated him for taking away the money for his grandfather's treatment, Wang Caihou heard that Duan Kefan brought experts from the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau down to prepare for the protection of the ancient buildings in the village was very happy, and sighed: "The house in the village should be repaired, now most of the people in the village have rheumatism, and they can't do heavy physical work in their fifties, if the government can allocate money to help the villagers repair the house, it is a great thing!" ……”
Duan Kefan hurriedly said: "Old branch secretary, the key now is to find evidence that Zhu Yunwen has been to our village, so that the government can allocate money to help the villagers repair their houses......"
"What is Zhu's article, there is no surname Zhu in our area, there is a Zhujia village in the town next door, but it has nothing to do with our village......" Wang Caihou said with a puzzled face.
This is a bit of a chicken and a duck, Duan Kefan had to smile bitterly and explain Zhu Yunwen's identity to Wang Caihou in detail, Wang Caihou shook his head again and again...... "Emperor?
Duan Kefan was a little desperate, it seemed that it was hopeless to find evidence that Zhu Yunwen had been to Rongshu Village, or Zheng Xiumei and her uncle were more experienced, so he patiently continued to ask: "Old branch secretary, if you think about it carefully, have you ever found unusual objects in the village? It's just something that is not very common......
Wang Caihou thought for a while and said: "Unusual objects? There are really them, many people in the village used to have some clay pots or something, the carvings on them are beautiful, the carvings are all dragons, phoenixes and something, my family used to have one, it was handed down from my grandfather's generation......"
Duan Kefan and Zheng Xiumei's uncle's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they hurriedly asked, "Great, is the thing still there?" Take it out and take a look at ......."
Wang Caihou spread his hands and said: "No, all the old ones will be smashed, and there will be some iron, bronze and something, and all the steelmaking will be melted ......."
"Alas!" Duan Kefan and Zheng Xiumei and her uncle all slapped their thighs with regret, if it weren't for the ignorance and harming people, so many historical relics would have been completely destroyed!
However, this also proves that there have indeed been unusual things in the history of Banyan Village, Zheng Xiumei and her uncle regretted it and then continued to ask: "Is there anything unusual that can't be smashed and burned?......
"Can't you smash it and burn it?" Wang Caihou patted his forehead and thought about it seriously, raised his hand and pointed to the big mountain outside: "There are two small stone forts on the hills on both sides of our village, when we were children, we often went up to play when we chopped firewood, and the commune was supposed to be destroyed by us when we broke the four olds, but the stones of the stone fort were too hard, and it was too hard to destroy, and the villagers also needed a place to rest when chopping firewood, so they stayed, and the government did not allow them to cut firewood these years, and the stone forts were all covered with thatch, and they couldn't see it......
Duan Kefan and Zheng Xiumei and her uncle glanced at each other in surprise, and said in unison: "Great! Then you can take us to see ......."
Wang Caihou scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "It's okay if you want me to lead the way, but now there is no way to go to Xiaoshibao, it's all thatch, and it is a big project to cut the thatch and open a new road......
When Duan Kefan heard this, he patted his chest and said, "This matter is handed over to me, I will mobilize the villagers to open the way......"
