Early in the morning, when a ray of morning light shines on the mountain village, a layer of mist shrouded in the mountains slowly dissipates.

As soon as the morning dawned, there were early risers who went to the fields with hoes, and the life of the peasant family was like this, for the sake of three meals, desperately to do it.

Life in a mountain village is bland, as light as water. Men and women who enjoy the passionate life of the city occasionally return to such a life, or feel novel, but after a long time, they will be bored and go crazy.

The mountain village is cosy and tranquil, year after year.

Outside Xiaoxi Village, a few small cars drove slowly, and the sound of the wheels of the small cars seemed so harsh in this quiet morning.

The car came to the square in front of the temple and slowly stopped. The car door opened, and the old man walked out, looking at everything that seemed familiar in front of him, the old man trembled.

This is the hometown, the hometown where he was born. This is the land that gave birth to him and raised him.

Near-hometown is timid, near-hometown is difficult, how many years of thinking and waiting, at this moment, show in front of you, but you don't dare to take the first step.

Next to him, Adong Ahao, who got out of the car, saw his father's appearance, and hurriedly supported the old man left and right, and the old man finally recovered his mood with their support and walked forward slowly. Trembling with his hands, he touched the two old banyan trees in front of the temple and came to the ancestral hall on the side.

There are two door drums standing in front of the ancestral hall, two wooden doors are written with black characters on a red background "ancestral merits", and there is a plaque on the door that reads "Ziche clan ancestral hall".

At this time, the tears that filled his eyes could no longer hold back his tears, and he slowly knelt at the door of the ancestral hall, lying on the ground and crying.

How many years of waiting turned into tears at this moment, no one can tomorrow his body has been as helpless as a leaf for decades, no one can understand the pain of this wanderer, no one can understand what the waiting day and night is, no one can understand, no one can understand, no one can understand, what it is like.

"Dad" Adong Ahao comforted his father softly on the side.

"Who?" At this time, the person guarding the ancestral hall inside heard the voice and walked out, opened the door, but saw the old man kneeling at the door and crying bitterly.

"You are" The old man who opened the door asked suspiciously, he obviously didn't know these people, did he cry in the wrong place.

"Hello, this is my dad, he was taken to Taiwan before, and now he is back to look for relatives." Ah Dong said to the old man who opened the door.

"Come, come, sit inside, sit inside." The old man listened and warmly invited them in.

The ancestral hall is usually guarded by the old people in turn at night, and there are more people during the day, because it is also a meeting place for the elderly.

Inside, the old man warmly invited them to sit down, and then asked: "Just now you said that you came to look for relatives, I don't know who you are looking for, which family, you say, I will help you find it." ”

At this time, the old man was so choked that he couldn't speak, and shook his head again and again after listening to his words.

Ah Dong saw it, afraid that the old man would misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "My father was brought to Taiwan since he was a child, and his previous impression has been blurred, and I don't know who my parents are, but I remember that it seemed to be 1949 when I was brought to Taiwan." ”

"That's it, it's more troublesome." After listening to the old man's words, a few people's hearts rose, could it be that this time it was a trip for nothing?

The old man paused and said, "But fortunately, the village has a special record of the missing people, you wait for a while, and let him look for it when the old man comes, he is more familiar with this." ”

At this moment, the old man walked in, and the old man always got up early.

He came inside, looked at a few well-dressed people sitting there, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What's the matter?" ”

"Gongzu, these people are here to look for relatives, and they said that they were brought to Taiwan in 1949, but I can't remember what happened at that time." The old man listened and said to him, don't look at him He is quite old, but he still has to call "Gongzu" in front of his old ancestor, which shows that his old ancestor has a great age in the village.

"1949, wasn't that the time when the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan?" When my husband heard this, he sat on the chair and thought about it.

The ancestral hall was silent for a while, without a single sound.

"When the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, there was indeed a missing child, and there was quite a big disturbance at that time." After a while, Lao Zu said to a few people.

The old man listened to his husband's words and his face was full of joy.

The old man stood up and came to the old man to take a look, and the old man who was guarding the ancestral hall and Ah Dong Ah Hao were made foggy by the old man's movement.

"What's wrong?" The old man sat on the chair, and when he saw his actions, there must be a reason, so he asked out loud.

"It's nothing, you take your shoes off for a moment." The old man said solemnly to the old man.

When the old man heard this, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and took off his shoes tremblingly.

"Left foot," Lao Zu said to him when he saw him take off his right foot.

The old man glanced up at him, and took off his shoes with trembling hands.

When my husband saw him take off his shoes, he grabbed his feet and took a look, only to see a mole the size of a bean growing on the sole of his foot, and nodded again and again and said, "That's right, it's my son Che's species." ”

"Ah Lai, you go to Shenfu's house and call him." The old man turned his head and said to the old man guarding the ancestral hall on the side.

Ah Lai listened and walked out. He himself walked into the ancestral hall and took out an old notebook, only to see that the book read, "A detailed list of the dead, born, and missing persons of the Ziche clan in the past dynasties." ”

The old man flipped through the book, turned to one of the pages, looked at it, and handed it to the old man, "Look." ”

The old man took it in his hand, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was written, "On the seventh day of November in the ugly year, Shentian, the son of the new lion, was separated from his mother in Wenshan Town, and he was nowhere to be found. ”

The old man saw it, and his hand trembled with the notebook, what he said was consistent with everything he did, needless to say, he was the lost son of this family.

"There was a lot of trouble about your disappearance back then, so I remember it so clearly, I remember that after the news of your disappearance came from the town, the village mobilized the whole village to go out to look for it, but unfortunately it was not found in the end." My husband said with pity.

"After being separated from my family, I was picked up by an officer and taken to Taiwan by him, and he raised me as a son when he had no children, so I followed his surname Liu, and when I grew up, I worked hard in Taiwan and finally created a little foundation. Over the years, I've been thinking about going home, but I can't remember it. As he spoke, the old man couldn't help but cry again.

"Alright, alright, it's good to come back, it's good to come back. When your mother came back from being separated from you, she blamed herself very much, always saying that she had lost you, and then she died depressed after having another child. Later, let Shenfu take you to your mother's grave and kowtow! In the afternoon, I will convene people again to arrange for you to confess your ancestors and return to your ancestors. Poor your mother. The old man said, touching a few whiskers on his chin, and said with emotion.

The old man Shentian listened to his old ancestor's words, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but fall again

Early in the morning, before Le Lang and San Lang woke up normally, there was a sound of talking in the courtyard. Maybe it was because they got up too early, Le Lang and San Lang sat on the chairs, as if they were a little dazed.

"Ah Lang, I heard that your longan was sold for a good price, it's really fake." Lao Liu ran to Le Lang's house early in the morning to wake him up excitedly, just to hear that his longan was sold for a good price to verify it.

"Eight pieces, but they're all sold, you should really save a little to eat, you see, now I don't even have to eat myself." Le Lang said with regret.

"What to keep, if you can sell it at such a good price, you will have to sell it all, and I'm afraid that there will be no longan to eat. Look, I'll pick a little longan for you, and you won't have to eat it. As he spoke, he took out a handful of longan from the bag he brought in and handed it to San Lang, who was sitting on the side stupidly.

"What, didn't you see that a few old dragon's eyes in this yard are also ripe? When the time comes, I'm afraid that there will be no longan to eat, so I don't plan to sell these trees, so I keep them and eat them slowly. Le Lang pointed to the sixth child and pointed to a few old dragons in the courtyard and said.

"Well, look at these old longans have never borne fruit, and I don't know what it tastes like." The sixth looked at the round longan on the tree and said.

"Who knows, but I guess we'll know in a few days."

"There is no wine gangue, there is no wine gangue"

At this time, the sixth child's mobile phone rang, and he opened the phone and picked it up.

"Hey, uh-huh"

After answering the phone, the sixth child looked a little dumbfounded.

"What's going on, whose phone?" Seeing him like this, Le Lang hurriedly asked, he thought something was wrong.

"My dad called, saying that my uncle, who had disappeared before, had come back and asked me to go back quickly." Lao Liu said with an incredulous face.

"You still have an uncle?" Le Lang asked curiously, he never knew what other uncle he had.

"Yes, but I disappeared a long time ago, and now I don't know how to pop up again, no, I have to go back and take a look." With that, he ran out and hurriedly rode away on his motorcycle.
