While talking, a spirited old man stepped out of the back room, and Xiao An was about to greet him, but he didn't think-

"Uh, you-!"

I don't know why, the old gentleman exclaimed when he saw Xiao An, which also surprised the people present, and thought something was wrong.

Well, it can't be that my horror scared him, Xiao An thought. If Xiao You wasn't there, she might still be able to think that she was possessed by something, but Xiao You was by her side, and if there was any evil thing, she would have cleaned it up early in the morning. So, expecting that the old man's surprise should have another reason, Xiao An said very calmly and gently,

"This grandfather, do you think you've seen me somewhere?" Xiao An thought of his strange dreams at the moment, and intuitively felt that the grandfather in front of him could help him smoothly pull out that dusty history.

"Oh, yes," the old man looked at Xiao An a few more times, calmed down a little, and continued, "You look very much like an old man of ours, and I suspect that perhaps you are her descendant." But even so, it has been several generations apart, and it is really strange that the two can still be so similar. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Fang Ti showed great curiosity about this matter, "Come on, Grandpa also sit down first, let's all sit and talk!" As he spoke, several people took their seats under the guidance of Fanti.

If Ah Gong's words were in the past, Xiao An probably wouldn't have taken them to heart at all. In fact, it is not uncommon for people with similar appearances to be separated by two generations for a long time as he said, and those newspapers and periodicals are not busy collecting those examples for everyone all day long, and it is really difficult to collect so many twin faces from ancient and modern China and foreign countries for those people. This also made Xiao An curious and began to yearn for it, if only he could really have a space-time machine, the kind that can operate independently, he doesn't need to be escorted by anyone, he can go wherever he wants, and he comes and goes without restrictions.

In ancient times, there were no cameras, and the collection of images was at most recorded by manual drawings. And it will not be even with the painter's sense of color, and even some models themselves will put forward excessive beautification requirements. Of course, you can still cheat now, no, you can cheat even more. Plastic surgery, makeup, post-processing, can make a person unrecognizable, and even facial scanning software can't do anything about it.

Many people should be curious about what those famous characters looked like in ancient times, and how beautiful the four beauties were. It is said that human beings are constantly evolving and evolving. Some people say that because of the progress of science and technology, human beings no longer need to engage in excessive physical labor, so bones and so on are also quietly changing, so human beings will be more delicate from generation to generation, so the ancients must be more than today.

But no matter how this sounds a bit idealistic and absolute, not to mention far away, just say that the hundred and ten years of modern times can be described as an era of a style, an era of a temperament. We often say. Because of the death of so-and-so, what kind of era has ended, and that "how" is mostly a noble and elegant word, full of memories of the ancients and the old era. In fact, it's not that you can't recover that kind of beauty now, it's just that some characteristics are very concentrated and very obvious in a certain period, so they have become the label of that era.

So, I wonder what kind of era label the elder who looks like him will have?

She must still have a label that belongs to that era. A person's adolescence is very important in its own right, and we often define a group of people by the era in which they were born, rather than other periods. You can't wait until someone dies and then say he's so-and-so. Birthdays and deaths are always different.

Out of curiosity about the "twin faces", Xiao An continued to ask:

"Grandpa, how much contact have you had with her? Can you tell me about her? ”

"Yes, though. You're—" Ah Gong hesitated slightly.

"Oh, these two are my brother's friends, Grandpa, didn't I tell you before they came! This is Sister Zou, my brother's classmate back then, this-" Fang Ti pointed at Xiao An but was speechless for a while. Thinking that since she was Xiao Zou's friend, she was not an outsider, so she immediately smiled and said to her grandfather, "Well, we haven't had time to know each other yet, anyway, it's the friend brought by Sister Zou, so it should also be our friend!" ”

Xiao An is very grateful for Fang Ti's warm introduction, but after all, it is someone else's house, and he always has to introduce himself, "Hello Grandpa, my name is Xiao An, and this time I am going back to my hometown with my parents." However, since we have been away for many years, I am afraid that there are not many familiar relatives here who can save us from relatives! ”

"Oh-" Ah Gong suddenly realized, "I know, you are a descendant of Lao An's family, right?" But it's strange, isn't it- uh, well, maybe it's just a coincidence. ”

Strange, could it be a coincidence, what specific meaning do these words have in Ah Gong's place? Xiao An really wanted to catch up and ask, but when she thought that she was in someone else's house, and she was not familiar with this family, she didn't dare to be too reckless because of politeness. Fortunately, the two sisters couldn't help but be curious, and asked for themselves: "Oh, Grandpa, Sister An has finally returned to her hometown all the way, you either don't say it, or just say it, why do you want to say it!" ”

"Well, yes, it's not a secret, everyone here knew about it back then! It doesn't matter what I told you children, I'm afraid you won't like to listen to it! Ah Gong said.

"Ouch, who doesn't like to listen, Grandpa, just talk about it! Don't you love to chat! Fang Ti shook her grandfather's arm and said coquettishly.

"Yes, Ah Gong, it's not once or twice that I've grown so big and been said to be a public face, but it's the first time I've surprised you like today. So, let's talk to us about the year! The small flame that was almost extinguished at the bottom of Xiao An's heart rose again today with Ah Gong's words, but she still tried her best to restrain the excitement in her heart, although she intuitively felt that what Fang Ti's Ah Gong said would not disappoint her.

"That's the case, Xiao An, have you heard anything about Grandma Xing from your family? She was like you back then! It took me a few words from you to tell you the difference, or I would have almost thought you were her descendant! ”

"Well, no, no!" Xiao An said honestly.

"Well, no," Ah Gong pondered, "your surname is An, and there is no such person as Grandma Xing at home." No one knows each other. So, what is your mother's last name, so that you can tell me? ”

"Well, my mother's surname is Zang. What's wrong, does it sound familiar to you? However, as far as I know, my mother doesn't seem to be from here! ”

"Zang? Ann-Zang? Ah Gong frowned and thought.

yes, what's wrong with that? Xiao An's brows furrowed.

Oh no. Of course this is not right: Ann-Zang, burial? How suspicious that sounds.

Ohmygod, it turns out that there are such coincidences.

Xiao An only remembers that when he was working, he gossiped with his colleagues about his name, and there was a girl whose parents' surnames were Sun and Hou, and if they were combined, they would be Sun Monkey; There is also a male colleague who did not change the homonym of "virgin" until before marriage, and so on. She only laughed at the time, never thinking that if she had a certain law, the name would be even more shocking.

Although it's a little uncomfortable to think about it, I can't blame others. Who told my parents to be born with this surname? However, there is a female colleague who once expressed her dissatisfaction with her mother's surname, and bluntly said: Why does she have this surname? The joyful tone made the people around him laugh for a long time.

Therefore, although I am not very "satisfied" with this coincidence, this is a fact after all, and the fact must be accepted, and over the years, I have not been ridiculed and hurt by this, so Xiao An smiled and said to Na Gong:

"Yes, are you confusing me with whom? My mother's surname is Zang. None of the other relatives in the family have this surname! Although Xiao An was excited about the history that Grandpa was about to start for her, she still had to correct some facts in time. Even if what she has is not necessarily the real truth, she has to express it to her grandfather, only in this way. It is possible that the information she got from Ah Gong was more accurate.

"Really?"

Ah Gong still had a suspicious look in his eyes, and it seemed that it was hard to believe this.

"Yes, or else, do you think I have something to hide?" Xiao An thought it was funny.

"Mm-hmm, no." Ah Gongma corrected, "Don't be surprised, kid. I really just think you're familiar, but what you said doesn't match what I know, so I'm wondering. But perhaps, there are really too many coincidences in the world. The old man's tone was helpless, but he still seemed a little unwilling, but he didn't have anything better to do for a while.

"Ahem, forget it, since you said you don't know them, it's neither your family's business nor my family's business, so why should I do this! Come, girl, since you have come to my tea garden, don't you have a good stroll, aren't you sorry for my hard work all these years? Even if you are not a descendant of Grandma Xing, if we can meet today, even if it is fate, you can just take a trip with me! ”

Everyone was still waiting to hear the following, but Ah Gong proposed to go to the tea garden at this time, although at first Xiao Zou also meant to take Xiao An there, but how could this old man talk like this? Don't you want to talk about it anymore?

So, Fang Ti pursed her lips and was unhappy, "Grandpa, you don't mean it enough, you said that it wasn't a secret, why didn't you tell us halfway through?" ”

"Why, a few girls really want to know!" Ah Gong looked at everyone with a smile.

"Hmm!" The three girls nodded in unison, their attitudes quite earnest.

"Okay, so let's talk while we shop? You don't know, the place we're going to go in a moment can help me bring back more memories! Hahahaha......"

As he spoke, Ah Gong had already walked out of the house by himself.

Grandpa, the old man.

Xiao An came back to his senses after a while, hey, didn't there always be an old man in my dreams? He has also "appeared" on my TV, although he has no resemblance to today's grandfather of Fanti, but it always seems to be somewhat related. Is it because I'm thinking too much?

I don't know how many such old people there are in the world.

I think that the old man has indeed not patronized his dreams for a while, and I don't know where he came from, how he should disappear, and I don't know if he will appear again in the future. Xiao An always felt that he was strict and kind to him, not as simple and kind as Fangti's grandfather, although the one in the dream looked very kind, but he had a deep meaning, but he refused to say it clearly.

Therefore, this is not the other.

"Sister An, let's go, let's listen to the story! Don't you want to know what happened to someone here who was like you? ”

Think, of course, especially right now, after I've accumulated so many dreams.

Ah Gong's hospitality is difficult to resist, and Xiao An is not easy to shirk. What's more, she always felt that she could find some important clues here in Ah Gong, so it was not a waste of time, who could guarantee that there were no secrets hidden in the tea garden from decades ago?
