Chapter 164: Something Gained
The two of them left the county government and went to the cultural center again. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this time it was Si Nan's turn to come forward, and she smiled sincerely and harmlessly: "Big brother, may I ask, is there any record or literature about the family surnamed Si in the county?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, said You wait a minute, turned around and went out, and after a while, he brought an old man with white hair in, his hand facing the direction of Sinan: "Old Zhang, it's them." ”
Sinan and Chen Kaize quickly got up from the sofa and greeted respectfully. The middle-aged man pulled a chair and asked the old man to sit down, and the old man sat down, and then asked slowly, "Do you want to know about the Si family?"
"Yes. Sinan nodded.
"You have a relationship with the Si family?"
"My surname is Si. I guess it's a descendant of the family. ”
"Oh...... That's right. Zhang Lao nodded and understood, and asked, "Which branch of the Si family are you?"
Sinan scratched his head: "I don't know which one." I only know that my grandfather's name is Si Houchu......"
When Zhang Lao heard this name, he looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment, then looked at Si Nan: "Who are you Si Shenzhi?"
Sinan's heart suddenly jumped: "It's my father." I also have an uncle named Si Shenmo. Chen Kaize also followed the heartbeat on the side, and suddenly there was a sense of panic about getting closer to the truth.
Zhang Lao asked again: "It's actually your father." Why didn't he come?"
"My father he ...... He died in a car accident two years ago. ”
"Ah, life is so impermanent. Little girl, why did you come to find your roots?"
"Old Zhang, to tell you the truth, after my father died, I found that I had grown so big in a daze, and I didn't know anything about my own family. I didn't even know I had an uncle, and if he hadn't come to find me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known for the rest of my life. The uncle said that his father had a falling out with the family when he was young, and since then he has run away from home and almost never got along...... But when I asked why, my uncle couldn't say why. I wanted to get to know my father by learning about my own background, and I always felt a little sorry that he didn't leave me a word when he left......"
Zhang Lao nodded: "Understood." Your Si's old house is not in the county seat. Si Houchu's descendants have all left one after another, and now there is no one from your family living here. The last one with the surname Si also passed away ten years ago. If you want to go to your ancestral home, you'll have to go to the mountains. Is there a map? It's not difficult to walk, and the roads are all well repaired now. ”
Sinan took out the map of the county, Zhang Lao took out a pen from his pocket, drew a route for her, wrote the phone number above the map, and told her at the end: "Go, young people don't have much to think about." If you don't understand, give me a call. ”
The two thanked them again and again and said goodbye. Chen Kaize took out his card: "I'll ask how to rent a car." I took out the phone and dialed it and talked to the other party for a while. Sinan stood under the tree and looked around boredly, and suddenly she seemed to feel that someone was watching her on the corner of the street, this feeling was particularly strong, she immediately stood up straight and looked straight in that direction, the narrow and deep alley, only the shadow cast by the high wall, and no one appeared and passed by. Sinan didn't feel that she was too attentive and sensitive, she believed in her sharpness and judgment, that feeling of danger was not groundless, and her hand involuntarily touched her waist bag and trouser pocket. Chen Kaize hung up the phone and walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "The car has been negotiated." Delivered to the door of the hotel tomorrow morning. What's wrong with you?"
"It's fine. Let's go. ”
