Shiyang Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the entire Shiyang Village is built around the Shiyang River that runs through the village. This Shiyang Village is not so much a village as a garden.

By the Shiyang River, there is no lack of exquisite pavilions and pavilions, quiet and beautiful water pavilions, rockeries and strange stones, flower beds and bonsai, and in the distance is a single-family villa looming in the shade of the trees.

The only pity is that the surrounding greenery is all languid and barren, and even the water of the Shiyang River is gray and sticky. The whole scenery was ruined in an instant.

Yellowish leaves fall slowly from the sky. Under the coercion of Yan Zhao, Qin Yuan, who was still a little interesting, couldn't help but restrain his expression.

Walking through the long underwater promenade, you will be greeted by a huge square. The square is full of cars and people.

Yan Zhao stopped from a distance, and saw the huge stone statues of two stone sheep stepping on the dragon in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

The third master of Qin, who was already ninety years old, looked at ease with his crutches, looked at Qin Shi who was walking back and forth in front of him, and suddenly hammered his crutches and said, "What are you in a hurry about, it dazzles me." ”

"It's not—" Qin Shi was about to reply, only to hear Liu Xingyin beside him say, "It's here." ”

The third master Qin, who was originally very calm, was stunned for a moment, immediately lifted his crutches, and rushed in the direction of Yan Zhao and the others.

Qin Shi next to him saw this scene, and hurriedly ran up to support the old man who was already walking a little staggering.

The Qin family in the square originally looked at the third master who had not gone out very much, and it was a little strange that he suddenly appeared in the square, even if it was a big man, it could alarm him.

Who would have thought that they only saw them running to the side of a few young people, only to see this old man who had always been stubborn but bowed down to this young man at this time: "Excuse me, is it Yan Zhao, Master Yan?" ”

"Master." Qin Yuan shouted in a low voice, seeing that Yan Zhao still didn't react, he immediately pulled Yan Zhao's sleeve.

Yan Zhao turned around at this time. I saw two acquaintances standing in front of me, and the only stranger was the old man in the middle, dressed in Tang costume. Fu remembered what this person said just now, arched his hands, and said, "The master doesn't dare to be, the old man has a bad reputation." ”

Third Master Qin couldn't help but be stunned, he hadn't said anything to praise Yan Zhao! How could Yan Zhao say this, he immediately looked at Yan Zhao, only to see his tense face. An incomparably deep look. Third Master Qin couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, looking at this, where did he offend him.

"The stone statue of Shiyang Village is really lifelike, I don't know which master it is?" Yan Zhao looked at the stone statue not far away, playing with the jade pendant in his hand. said in a tone that was not salty or light.

The third master's hand on crutches suddenly shook, and he followed Yan Zhao's eyes, and immediately understood what Yan Zhao meant, and he naturally knew Yan Zhao's identity. Immediately, I didn't know what to say: "Well, the beliefs of each family are different."

Yan Zhao naturally understands, but Mr. Qin may not understand! If that's the case, why bother inviting me? Yan Zhao pointed to the stone statue in the distance and said, his tone unquestionably tough and cold. It's completely forgotten about his original intention.

"Master Yan, there are a lot of people here, why don't you move, and I'll talk to you slowly." Looking at the people around him stretching out their ears and looking at the appearance here, Qin Yuan immediately said.

"That's good." Yan Zhao also found that this place was indeed inappropriate at this time, and immediately nodded and agreed.

Shiyang Village originally had a large number of people coming and going, so a hotel was specially built for this purpose. In the room, several people sat down with the main and secondary. I only heard Qin Shi slowly speak: "I invited the banquet master to come over like this today, just because of a limerick poem left by my grandfather——"

Qin Shi's grandfather, Qin Shen, was originally a branch of Shiyang Village, which was passed down from Hanbaizhi County in that year. Because he is a grandson, he has always been the head of Shiyang Village. What he studied was the method of mathematics left over from Baizhi County back then, and it can be regarded as a family history.

The people of Shiyang Village have not been invaded by war in this mountain, have never suffered natural disasters, and have spent thousands of years in peace and stability, all because of the instructions of the ancestors, the Qin family and the descendants of the Qin family honestly abide by it, and never dare to disobey it.

It wasn't until Qin Shen took his wife and children out of Shiyang Village that he said that he was leaving, but he was forced to leave.

When the ancestors of the Qin family established Shiyang Village, they adopted a lot of orphans, they were all left over from the great drought, and they were extremely envious of the rich and fulfilling life outside the mountains as the main relatives of the Qin family, coupled with the demagogy of the staff sent by the government, they were dissatisfied with the monopoly of the Qin family's descendants, and forcibly asked everyone to stick to the mountain village and live such a poor life for a long time. At the beginning, Qin Shen could still be stopped by the legacy of his ancestors.

It wasn't until later that the library building in Shiyang Village caught fire inexplicably and was burned to the ground, that is, Qin Hu, who was the most noisy back then, directly took someone to tie up Qin Shen and escorted him to the ancestral hall, saying that he was not well guarded, causing the ancestors' family collection to be destroyed, and he really couldn't bear the ancestors. The elders of the clan did not punish Qin Shen for the sake of Qin Shen's lineage, and indeed directly removed the position of Qin Shen's patriarch and put it on Qin Hu's head.

At this point, Qin Shen also knew that he was framed. As a descendant of the Qin family, it is not an exaggeration to say that the library building can also be said to be his private property. Even if a fire burns completely, it will not be the turn of these people to speak. Now they are just trying to use this excuse to drive him down. I can't say, even this library was burned down by them!

Looking at the arrogant appearance of these people, Qin Shen was also broken and broken, and he was disheartened, anyway, he was no longer the patriarch of the Qin family, and they wanted to leave Shiyang Village to go out, so let them go! Qin Shen simply couldn't see it, and left Shiyang Village soon after. Haven't been back for decades.

When people reach old age, their hearts soften, thinking of their clan, Qin Shen just can't let go, they don't know the real situation of Shiyang Village, and they do know it clearly as the descendants of the Qin family. When even he shouted to go back, who knew that before he could leave, Qin Shen fell ill. Knowing that he would never go back, before he died, with his last breath, Qin Shen hung up Bu and wrote a limerick poem.

"What kind of limerick is it?" I didn't expect that there were such stories in the world, isn't this something only on TV? Qin Yuan, who was interested, suddenly asked.

Qin Shi glanced at the silent and calm banquet on the side, paused and continued: "There is a conspiracy in front of the temple, and I wish Zi Mo to turn back." The banquet is a wild guest, and it is majestic. ”

Looking at Qin Yuan's slightly confused appearance, Liu Xingyin said with a smile: "This sentence is a conspiracy in front of the temple, and I wish Zi Mo to turn back." It is said that Mr. Qin's grandfather suffered a conspiracy in the ancestral hall. Hopefully he's gone out and won't come back. ”

As for this sentence, the banquet is a wild guest, and it is majestic. It is probably said that the person who has the ability to solve the problem now will definitely be the least popular person in Shiyang Village. However, he is very capable. After that, Liu Xingyin looked at Yan Zhao and smiled unkindly.

"It's clear from this limerick that my grandfather told me to take it to heart before he died. I searched for this for several years, and finally I found you here at Mr. Wang. When I heard that you were the temple blessing of the Dragon King Temple, I knew that I had found the right person this time. ”

Seeing that Yan Zhao was still silent, Qin Shi continued: "Although the library building in Shiyang Village has been burned down, my grandfather has indeed copied a lot of books. Before his death, my grandfather once said that as long as Master Yan is willing to help, my Qin family is willing to give all the remaining family treasures to Master Yan. ”

Hearing this, Yan Zhao's expression was slightly moved, but he still said: "Just by virtue of these, you believe in me like this?" Besides, I don't know if your collection is really useful to me? ”

Hearing Yan Zhao's words, Qin Shi knew that this matter was at least something to say, and immediately said in a deep voice: "This, since I knew about Master Yan's storage, I have arranged for people to keep an eye on Master Yan's whereabouts at all times, so Master Yan's prestige in Chenjia Village is very clear."

Seeing Yan Zhao's expression that he didn't care, Qin Shi put his mind at ease, after all, no one likes to be watched, and said randomly: "As for my family's family collection, it's a shame to say that my father and I are not interested in this aspect, so we haven't studied it, and I don't know much about these However, as long as Master Yan agrees to help, whether it is successful or not, I will definitely give these first."

Yan Zhao's fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, and there was silence for a long time. I only heard the third master, who had never spoken, say: "As long as Master Yan is willing to make a move, our Shiyang Village is also willing to pay a reward, as long as Master Yan speaks, my Shiyang Village will be satisfied with all his efforts."

As if hearing this, his heart moved, Yan Zhao suddenly listened to the tapping, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, Yan Zhao will try his best."

Yan Zhao's answer immediately made the two of them happy, and the third master of Qin immediately said: "Okay, this matter is settled, it's getting late, Master Yan will rest first, and we will come to invite Master Yan tomorrow."

When everyone dispersed, Chi He, who had been staying in the jade pendant, suddenly flew out: "Staying in the jade pendant is simply suffocating me."

"Otherwise, where can you stay, who told you to come along!" Yan Zhao said suddenly.

"If you hadn't brought Xiaoyuan here, where would I have followed." Chi He immediately glanced at Yan Zhao. "By the way, could it be that you are really interested in the Qin family's book collection? Aren't you cultivating really? I think at least three points of what Mr. Qin Shi said are false, and you are not afraid of letting people deceive you! You see that he said so much, but there is nothing about the specific situation of Shiyang Village."

"Seven points is true, but at the end of the day, I still don't believe me. It's just that you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle! It's just waiting for me to show my hand. Yan Zhao said indifferently.

"Speaking of which, it's rare to see you, obviously so disgusted with people, but you still have to pretend to be happy."

Yan Zhao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't speak.
