Chapter 188: The Secret of Zhou Zhuang
He raised his head and continued: "I also suspected that I had fallen off the road, so I turned back and looked back and forth several times, and on that day, no one had ever passed the back post, because the whole village had gone to the old ancestral hall!" ”
Sun Yifu straightened up again and said indifferently: "That's really weird!" So after you returned from Willow Village, did you start to have any abnormalities in your body? ”
Old Zhou Gongzi moved his butt to the chair a little, maybe he had been uncomfortable all the time, or he saw that Sun Yi was more kind, so he relaxed a little.
In short, after the two chatted for a while, he spoke with a little more confidence and smoothness: "My hair began to turn gray seven years ago, when I was just twenty years old.
He paused and continued: "At that time, I didn't take it to heart, because it was not uncommon for there to be few whiteheads in the village, and some were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they began to give birth to hundreds of hairs. ”
Su Qing glanced at Sun Yi and saw him nodding and said, "That's true, you go on." ”
Old Zhou Gongzi swallowed a mouthful of spit, and his voice was a little dry: "Who knew that in less than a year, all the hair would be gray, and then the beard would begin to turn white, and several teeth would fall out, looking very old!" ”
"Actually, when I was nineteen years old, I once said a family thing, but after more than two years of marriage, my mother, Huang's she has nothing to do, because I am a single heirloom of three generations, so my mother is the master to send her home."
Su Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about later?" You haven't been married? ”
Old Zhou Gongzi rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "At that time, the two elders of Gaotang were there, and their family background was also solid, so soon, they welcomed the daughter-in-law Liang in the door." ”
"Who knows, it will be two years without anything. Liang went to see the doctor, and said that she was fine, but she took a lot of child-seeking medicine, but it didn't help, and my mother saw that I was getting older, so she wanted to sell a child back and pass on the ancestry! He lowered his eyelids and raised his voice.
"But that Liang is hard, and after learning about this, he resolutely asked to invite himself to the court! My father didn't want to agree. But my mother should be charged! His voice grew lower.
"After Liang left. My mother really bought a woman back, but after a whole year, she was not pregnant, and at this time. A year after the Huang family returned home. Remarry someone else and suddenly give birth to a son! He said helplessly.
"When the news of Huang's birth spread. But a month, Liang also remarried, three months later. There was also a happy event, she, her mother even came to my house to make a big fuss! Old Zhou Gongzi said in a very sad tone.
Su Qing couldn't help but ask him: "In other words, not having an heir is your own problem at all?" ”
After hearing this, Lao Zhou Gongzi nodded with difficulty and said: "Exactly, when the Huang family and the Liang family gave birth to children one after another, my mother suspected that I had a problem and took me to seek medical treatment. ”
Speaking of this, he covered his face with his hands, and his tone was sad: "My mother doesn't believe it, and even when I look for more than a dozen pharmacies, the doctor says that I am nearly sixty years old and no longer suitable for raising heirs!" ”
Old Zhou Gongzi couldn't cry for a while, and only choked up for a long time: "My parents couldn't stand the blow for a while, and they passed away one after another in less than a year. ”
After listening to him, Sun Yi sighed and said, "I have never heard of your situation, and I can't do anything about it!" You also said that you want me to save the Zhou family, so, what happened to the Zhou family? ”
Old Zhou Gongzi paused in his chair when he heard this, and only after a while did he snort and said, "Although most of the people in Zhouzhuang are surnamed Zhou, they are not an ancestor!" ”
He sighed and continued: "Actually, our ancestors were the first to settle here, and after several generations, when the village was small and large, they fled to a family surnamed Zhou. ”
"But in the past ten years, there have been fewer and fewer children and grandchildren of our old Zhou family, and now there are less than 20 people with the crown, and there are only a few young children!" Old Zhou Gongzi said with a worried face.
Hearing him say this, Su Qing couldn't help but be secretly shocked: she originally felt that this village had a large population and was very enthusiastic, and she didn't notice that there were fewer children.
Now that I think about it, this village has always been relatively quiet, and when Bian Lidu went to the fields, it was supposed to be a time for children to come out to play, but when she first came to Zhouzhuang, she didn't see a few children playing in the village!
If it is in modern times, it is understandable, but in this world, in this era of many children and many blessings among the mundane, it is a little out of place!
Sun Yi obviously didn't expect that the two things that Old Zhou Gongzi asked for turned out to be unheard of, so he naturally couldn't open his mouth to respond!
Seeing that Old Zhou Gongzi was looking at himself with fiery eyes, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you ever asked a Taoist friend like a feng shui master to break it before?" ”
Seeing that he didn't respond immediately, the heat in his eyes suddenly cooled down, but he still replied respectfully: "Everyone has invited me to Mr. Feng Shui many times, and at the beginning a few said that Feng Shui is fine, but this place is too masculine, and I don't like it for the mother who sent the child!" ”
Then, he squeaked and said, "I said that I want to dedicate it to her old man's nine young daughters under the age of three to ask for a son and an heir!" ”
Su Qing couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this: "There is such a thing!" It's just hurtful! ”
Old Zhou Gongzi looked at her timidly and said: "But the clan elder has always been worried about the lack of heirs, so he planned to choose a girl in the village, but the one in the latter Zhou did not want to leave!" ”
Su Qing snorted coldly: "There are still some people who understand at the bottom!" ”
The old Zhou Gongzi nodded hurriedly and responded: "Later, the Zhou family came out with a seed of reading, and he sat in the library in Los Angeles, that is, he strongly opposed it, and later, all the girls who were dedicated were from our family, but our old Zhou family originally had few children, so that almost all the families who gave birth to daughters had to sacrifice their children!"
Sun Yi sneered and asked, "After the dedication, is the problem more serious?!" ”
Old Zhou Gongzi shrank down, lowered his head and replied: "The immortal master knows everything, but it's like this!" The most incredible thing is that the descendants of the Hou Zhou family, who were about the same as us, withered, have gradually increased their descendants! ”
Sun Yi stared at him and asked, "Do you think they are making trouble?" ”
Old Zhou Gongzi took a cold sweat and said: "It is indeed as the immortal master said, but the feng shui master said that our Hou Zhou clan has done things that violate the way of heaven, so it attracted heavenly punishment!" ”
Su Qing clasped his hands to his chest and sneered: "Retribution, what about the people who lost their children in the first place?" ”
Old Zhou Gongzi sighed and said: "Because two daughters-in-law were unbearable and hanged themselves, the other families have come to the clan!"
"Several clan elders couldn't give an explanation, one died of shame, and several others also died because of this, and they died one after another in less than two months!" Old Zhou Gongzi was sad when he said it, his own grandfather was once one of the clan elders! (To be continued......)
