He said to the elders in this row: "This man is a madman, and a man who has lost his morals and degraded deeds, and has no regard for shame, and he does not need to take what he says to heart, and we can do whatever we want, and so on, and no one will be allowed to mention it in front of me in the future." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The four attendants on the steps flashed their eyes. He said in turn: "Chairman, now the four of us can't open the door of the ancestral hall, and the villain dares to ask the chairman to make a decision next." ”

The chairman of the provincial CPPCC read the figure-eight mustache on the side of his mouth and said: "This is not simple, the four of you can't open it with your bare hands, so you use a big wood to knock it open." ”

"Okay, villain obeys" The four attendants found the trunk of the banyan tree, the spruce wood, and the Canaanite trunk from the small square paddock, and later increased to sixteen people.

One of the four people carried the trunk of the banyan tree and shouted, slamming into the gate of the ancestral hall, but did not open the gate, and the other group of four people carrying the spruce pillar also slammed up, but still did not knock the gate open.

At this moment, the elders present all looked at each other, and said a little jokingly: Is this a ghost, two groups of people can't knock the door open, it's really a bit unbelievable. Among them, only Chen Xu stood aside, his left eyelid was always jumping, never so violently, and in his subconscious, he seemed to feel that something bad was going to happen.

In a sound of amazement, everyone opened their eyes to see what was going to happen in front of them, but what they didn't expect was that the other two entourages who had spent their energy banging on the door just now did not stop, and the two people carried the trunk of the Canaan tree, and it was strange to say that they just knocked lightly, and the door opened.

Everyone is very incomprehensible, in fact, this Canaan wood is in the Buddhist world of Buddha, Canaan wood and Bodhi tree are of equal status, both are symbols of the Western Elysium.

Now the door of the ancestral hall was opened by the entourage, in fact, because Canaan wood has another function is to break the law, the door of the ancestral hall is closed by the mad god with mana, ordinary ordinary things, it is difficult to open this door, but it is not a good thing to be opened now.

Everyone looked over in amazement, only to see that the Buddha incense they had inserted on them had fallen to the ground, and a yellow viscous liquid was slowly flowing from the crack in the door, and small wooden slags fell from time to time.

Because of the remarks of the elders, everyone was still on guard, and half a month later, at the request of the chairman of the provincial CPPCC, they still appeared in front of the gate of the ancestral hall.

Everyone opened the door of the ancestral hall, and with a creak, the handle of the door shook, and a trace of cold and gray wind suddenly blew inside.

The chairman of the provincial CPPCC suddenly looked a little dizzy, but he was very excited, and said: "The door of the ancestral hall is open, and I can also go in to pay homage to our ancestors——————。 ”

In the crowd, only Chen Xugui shrank his head and looked at the crack in the open door, only to see that a spiral-shaped wind suddenly rolled up on the very open hall inside, stirring up all the debris on the ground.

Chen Xu was shocked in his heart and was about to shout at the crowd, but he told himself in his heart not to be reckless, so he immediately covered his mouth with his hand,

A smile appeared on the face of the chairman of the provincial CPPCC, and he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's go in in an orderly manner according to the seniority." ”

So led by the chairman of the provincial CPPCC, this group of dozens of people followed the "ancestors,; The seats of good, virtuous, noble, happy, prosperous, prosperous, long, smooth, hair, and Yan entered in turn.

Chen Xu was the last to enter, and when he arrived in the hall, he only saw that in this large and wide ancestral hall, there were two side rooms on the left and right sides, and the two rooms were about 100 square meters so large, and the main area of the ancestral hall also had three parts, and in the middle was a very large courtyard, which was made of very large white stone, glazed stone, and marble.

"It's so strange, I really don't understand, why the flowers and plants in the courtyard even the crab orchid, which is very difficult to raise, grow lush and green, very lush, there is no dust and garbage, the jar seems to have been watered, no, impossible, the door of this ancestral hall is tightly closed, no one can enter, how can it be———— how can it be." Chen Xu thought like this, and goosebumps couldn't help but arise on his arms and thighs.

Chen Xu followed dozens of his clan relatives to the ancestral temple of the ancestral hall, the left wall inside was already in tatters, the wall touched with hydrated lime had fallen off, and on the left was a long wooden stool, only four feet high, clean and without dust.

Chen Xu tried his best to control his thoughts, slowly moved his steps to the back, clicked, he suddenly bumped into two large water tanks, the edge of the tank was left with dry aquatic plants, and only a few goldfish skeletons were left in the center, Chen Xu looked at the skeleton left by the koi, and there was a rattling sound from the inner throat, strange, how the more it looked, it looked more like a baby's skeleton

Chen Xu panicked, and hurriedly walked beside the surrounding clansmen, and with Ah Fu, the chairman of the provincial CPPCC instructed the clansmen around him, saying: "Don't be idle, everyone, clean every corner of the old ancestral hall, and go to the side room to discuss the decision later." ”

At this time, Chen Xu and Ah Fu stood together, Ah Fu said: "Chen Xu, let's go to the big well in the courtyard to fetch water, fill the two large water tanks in this side room with water, and only with water can we have wealth, so that the environment will definitely improve a lot." ”

Chen Xu took a big bucket and put a long and thick hemp rope on the wooden handle of the big bucket on one side, and came over, Ah Fu said: "Chen Xu, I remember that when I was very young, I came to this ancestral hall with my father once, and there was a big well over there. ”

After looking for a while, he realized that the well was originally on the trench where flowers and plants were planted in the garden, and Ah Fu said: "The mouth of this well is covered with a heavy stone, which is connected to the soil on the edge, and it is covered with rabbit hair and dandelions, and it is not easy to remove it." ”

At this time, a few entourages brought by the overseer came here with rakes, and Chen Xu hurriedly greeted: "This big brother, is your name Ah Xing, can you move the stones from this well with us." ”

"Little young master don't have to be so polite, if you have something to say, we will try our best to help" Saying that, these people walked towards this place, in "one, two, three", everyone was ready to move this heavy piece of bluestone, but only moved the width of a slit, everyone gasped, "so tired, tired"

Ah Fu was tired and his hands and feet were a little weak, he sat on the ground, untied a wine gourd from his trouser belt, and said hehe: "You look at the gourd is filled with fine bamboo leaf green wine, I see that the big guys are tired, or take a sip of the bar I bought from the street in front of the City God Temple." ”

Chen Xu said: "Brother Afu, you are really understanding, worthy of being my good friend, knowing that I am thirsty, I will take two sips of it first, and see if it is really Zhuyeqing, and the taste is really delicious with a plum brewed by grandma." ”

"Yes, I don't believe you can try it" Ah Fu sent the wine gourd in his hand to Chen Xu's hand, Chen Xu laughed hehe, and took a few sips shallowly, it was really a taste in his heart, although it was not as mellow and strong as the plum in his Hongyang Town, but in the case of thirst, it still tasted fresh and beautiful, which was really memorable. ”

Chen Xu sighed a few times, returned the wine gourd to Ah Fu, and said: "Ah Fu, your wine is really unique, it can really wake up the reclining Buddha in Nan'an Temple in Nanxi Town, and it is good to be able to clear the gods in the sky." ”

Chen Xu knew that Ah Fu liked to listen to praise, so he followed his heart and praised him warmly, which was also a kind of reward for helping each other and sharing blessings, but he didn't expect that this sentence would arouse the greed of several slaves around him, they swallowed their saliva, and said with a smile: "Two young masters, after you have finished drinking, can you let us taste the taste, smell it." ”

"Yes, yes, I just said let you taste it" Ah Fu untied another wine gourd from his waist and sent it to them, these slaves are all from poor families, wine and food are rare to taste in life, and when they saw the wine gourd, their temperament immediately became like a monkey on the back pit mountain saw a huge peach, and they all stretched out their hands to grab it.

Later, everyone drank almost as much bamboo leaf green as they flowed on the ground, but the wine that fell down seeped down the small cracks in the ground and flowed through, ticking and ticking, and the wine flowed into the big well that was only as wide as a fingernail, Chen Xu, Ah Fu and the others were happy for a while.

Chen Xu laughed hesitantly and said: Have you heard anything, there must be enough clear spring water in this ancient well, let's hurry up and push open the lid of this stone, let's work together. ”

Everyone drank the wine, and all became full of energy, and they all started to push the stone lid in the same direction, and soon the dead branches and small stones on the side of the ancient well gradually trembled, and the stone cover slid a clear mark on the aging ground.

"It's open, everyone look at it, it's so bright and clear, I just want a piece of green blue sky and white jade, ding ding dong, the spring water is still flowing out of the stone cracks of the ancient well, look at this look, even if it is a hundred years discount, the ancient well will not dry up." Ah Fu became very happy.

Sure enough, it was a big well full of vitality, and everyone couldn't help but admire, but strangely, a flock of crows flew from the roof beams, and they cried "wah, wow, wow".

Seeing this ominous sign, he lay at the beginning of the well, carefully watching the dynamics in the well, only to see a string of blisters constantly emerging from the well, like a porcelain bottle in the hands of Guanyin Niangniang, it looks like a mirror, and the edge of the wellhead made of bricks is dripping with spring water.

But I don't know what's going on, when the manhole cover was lifted by everyone, a group of crows flew over the roof of the ancestral hall and shouted, Chen Xu paid close attention to the surrounding environment, and felt that there was nothing wrong, "Is it because I'm superstitious, or am I thinking too much." Chen Xu muttered secretly.

The voice of the crow soon disappeared into the noisy sound of people, and the elders of the great clan in the ancestral hall saw that an ancient well was opened, and the water in the well was clear, and they could see the beauty makeup, and they all surrounded it, and one of them pointed at Chen Xu and said: "Little ghost, bring me a bucket of water for my uncle, I haven't drunk water since I came in the morning, and my throat is about to smoke, hurry up." ”

Next to the "Gu Lu Gu Lu", Ah Fu dragged a thick and long rope and slowly lowered the bucket into the well, and as soon as a bucket of water was brought up, the elders of the great clan immediately rushed up, picked up the porcelain bowl or put their hands together and quickly drank up the clear spring water in the bucket.

After drinking, the elder of the good character generation did not forget to pat the beginning of his chest with his two wet hands, and couldn't help but say: "Oh, these spring waters are really sweet and delicious, comparable to the holy water in the Westernized Dragon Pool, after drinking it, the whole person immediately refreshed." ”

Another elder also laughed and said: "I heard my father say a long time ago, there are two ancient wells in our Suzaku County that were built by Kangxi during that period, one is in the dam town, and the other is here with us. ”

Chen Xu's eyelids were always beating, and he felt that something was wrong, but he was stunned by Ah Fu, the few entourages in front of him did not drink the water in this ancient well, because the entourage was still holding the wine gourd in his hand, and Ah Fu had already quenched his thirst, but Chen Xu was unwilling to drink, with his feelings, he originally wanted to go over to stop the elders of the big clan from drinking, but he thought in his heart, "They absolutely refuse to listen to my advice, but will have more verbal disputes because of this." In this case, Chen Xu had no choice but to give up.

At this time, Ah Fu touched Chen Xu's elbow and said, "Chen Xu, let's go over there and clean up now." ”

The two of them took the bucket, prepared the rag, and walked over with a brush made of bamboo.

The ancestral altar is located in the center of the ancestral hall, and the cement floor here has become uneven due to disrepair, and there is a small hall with an area of only 20 square meters next to it.

When Chen Xu was looking into this small hall, he saw that it was all black, and he didn't know it at all, and after walking a few steps, the water in the bucket overflowed, and with a "meow", a big black cat came out of the dark corner of the small hall, Chen Xu was scared out of a cold sweat, and screamed "Ah".

Ah Fu next to him immediately asked: "Chen Xu, what's wrong with you, why do you look uncertain." ”

Several elders around him said: "Yes, young man, look at you, you are shocked, the water on the ground is flowing in all directions, it is really a little inexplicable. ”

"Uncles, didn't you see a big black cat slipping away from your eyes just now" Chen Xu became stammered, speaking with a trill.

Several elders said: "Strange, young man Chen Xu, what are you talking about, we have always been here, how can we see any big black cat, if there is, you see that we are all in our seventies, and it is normal for our eyes to be dizzy and not see." ”

Ah Fu patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and said: "Okay, Chen Xu, don't be suspicious all day long, no one has stepped in our ancestral hall for many years, it is not very hygienic inside, so many rooms are dark, it is inevitable that there are some mice, no wonder these big cats want to sneak in." ”

"Brother Afu, you are not like your uncles who are old-eyed, you tell the truth, did you see a big black cat just now, tell the truth."

"No, Chen Xu, how have I ever seen any big black cats, hey, you are not used to the environment, you always like to mess around" Ah Fu gently pushed Chen Xu's shoulder, and shouted: "Clean." ”

In the center of the second half of the ancestral hall, the mourning platform is made up of four square large tables, all of which are arranged by the old uncle who has the only "ancestor" character here, and the old generation is experienced, so it looks like it is both generous and elegant, and the front and rear parts have left enough space to make way for future generations to pay tribute to the food of their ancestors.

"Wow, the flowers and plants on this big table, birds, fish, insects and beasts, who painted it, the painting is really a must, it looks really beautiful and vivid, it is conceivable, the handiwork of the painter is really first-class, quite artistic, must be a famous painter." Ah Fu said enviously.

And Chen Xu beside him was at this time, the tears in his eyes were swirling, the painting on the square table was painted by his unknown father Wang Youming, his father was young with a perseverance and enthusiasm, to the ten towns and eight miles to visit the master painter to learn skills, three years later, the learning has been successful, the painting art is great, the painting on the ancestral hall table is a witness.

Chen Xu looked at the pattern on the big square table, and suddenly remembered the scene when he was warm, one day, Kai's father gently stroked his hair in the yard, and said: "Son, if you can get the results of the outstanding students in the city from the teacher in the school, during the exam, my father will promise you to rest assured that you will work at hand, accompany you for three days at night, go to Xiqianlou Street to sell MP four for you, and go to Danyang Alley to sell you the best food." ”

Later, Chen Xu finally relied on his enthusiasm to be admitted to the best in the city

But his father didn't keep his promise anymore, because he was gone. How many nights, when the moonlight shone on his father's window full of creepers and lanterns, he would climb onto the bed with only a quilt, and stroke the transcript he relied on in the private school over and over again, remembering his father, and weeping silently in the moonlight.

At this time, Chen Xu thought about these sad pasts, so he lay on the edge of the square table and secretly shed tears, but Ah Fu didn't know what he was doing, so he stroked his shoulder and said: "Chen Xu, what's wrong with you, do you know who painted the painting on the square table." ”

"I know, it's my father's painting" Soon, Ah Fu knew what was going on with Chen Xu's sadness, and hurriedly went to comfort him, trying to find something around him that could divert his attention.

"Hey, Chen Xu, don't lie on the table, look at it, look at the pattern on the table in the center, wow, what a beautiful words, it's no different from the real thing, your father is really an amazing character."

Chen Xu slowly raised his head and looked over, only to see a picture of the golden autumn fifteenth moon worship painted on the table in the center: a fairy. A fair-skinned, spring-like face, fragrant long hair, a wonderful figure, bright clothes, and colorful clothes, and its eyes are very expressive, but the information revealed is not the festive atmosphere of the golden autumn and September, the harvest of the earth, but a feeling that cannot be said to be unknown, this feeling can only be expressed by the word "ruthless".

Chen Xu silently looked at these paintings, feeling that they were like people in reality, living in real nature, rather than the product between the pen end and the ink, Chen Xu couldn't help but stand on the spot and admire, forgetting the work at hand, and the admiration for Kai's father in his heart spontaneously arose.

But suddenly, when Chen Xu was watching, a big black cat in the hand of the girl sitting on the left column of the pavilion on the screen "plopped", jumped into the pond, stretched out his long paws to catch the koi floating from the stone culvert in the water, and at this time, the koi in the water changed into a person's head out, Chen Xu opened his eyes, hey, it turned out to be his father who had been missing for many years, only to see Kai's father stick his head out of the pond, and smiled mysteriously at Chen Xu: "My child, You've finally appeared, and Daddy thinks so hard about you, my child. ”

At this time, the long-haired woman, whose body was floating in the air and her eyes were full of hatred, turned sideways and shouted bitterly: "Young man, my life is so miserable, please let me out, please, I am so wronged." ”

"Ah, what are these things, it's horrible, I don't want it." Chen Xu suddenly came to his senses, rubbed his eyes, because of fear, he couldn't help but retreat behind him, and his right foot accidentally stepped into a large bucket full of clear water, splashing cool water, and the ground was wet, but when he glanced at the same place, he only saw some colorful and beautiful paintings on the square table, and the surrounding elders were either holding brushes to brush the dust on the wall, or holding a broom in their hands to clean, Or with a shovel to remove the corners of bricks and wood chips in the corners of the ancestral hall.

"Chen Xu, what's wrong with you, why are you always startled, I usually see that you are not like this, are you tired, if you are tired, just rest quickly." Ah Fu said.
