Xiao An and a few people came to the tea garden with Ah Gong, and at a glance, the tea garden was no different, so several people looked at each other, and they didn't understand why Ah Gong wanted to be a treasure to attract everyone.

"Oh, Ah Gong, I'll just say that there is nothing new in our tea garden, look at you, you have to bring your sisters, it's just a joke!"

Fanti was a little upset.

"Haha, what do you little girls who are only in their teens and twenties know?" Ah Gong still smiled, "Actually, there is really nothing new in our tea garden, but since there are distinguished guests visiting today, it reminds me of some childhood memories, so you might as well go around here with me." ”

After several understandings, Xiao An realized that the magic here did not come from the tea garden, but the predecessor of the tea garden: an old mansion.

And the former owner of this old mansion is precisely the family of Grandma Xing mentioned by Grandpa before. Because of the friendship between the two families, the Xing family later left here one after another, and the old house became Ah Gong's house, and because this land was not suitable for building a house, after a few years of being leveled, it was slowly used for farming.

But with Ah Gong's description, Xiao An can still imagine the details of the house at that time, and the more he listens, the more excited he becomes: God, isn't this the plot I dreamed of a few times?

Although he didn't know if these details could help him, Xiao An couldn't help but close his eyes and immerse himself in his sketch of the old mansion: Well, that's right, yes, this should be like this.

The old mansion that doesn't exist, this one doesn't exist at the moment. Oh no, it's supposed to be an old mansion that no longer exists. But no matter what, there should still be some traces of history, right? Give me clues to find and touch.

In a trance, Xiao An felt that he had walked into this old mansion, not just stepping on the land where it once existed.

She sat down on the chair of the house as if she were the real owner of the place, and saw that the cups, plates and dishes were all there, but it seemed that no one had cleaned them for a long time, and a layer of dust had risen on them.

This place is very wet, how can there be dust?

Xiao An couldn't see this, so he hurriedly got up and got a piece of cloth to wipe it.

"Don't move! Who's in my house! ”

Xiao An was startled when he heard the sound and opened his eyes. Only then did I find that I was still in the tea garden, and everything in the old house and the old house was gone as it was done.

Naturally, I couldn't find the voice just now.

Fortunately, Ah Gong and the others did not notice the change in themselves. Xiao An took out his phone. Hey, how much time hasn't passed?

Could it be that the feeling just now was only for a moment? But it seems to have been a long experience.

For what happened just now, Xiao An didn't know how to explain it, seeing that everyone else was fine, only he was different. She is not easy to ask others, and even if she does, she may not get a definite answer, but it will surprise everyone. She just looked around cautiously to see if there was anything suspicious following them other than them, otherwise why she was like this.

This time I went out with my parents, although it was not a secret, but I still had to be more cautious.

When you think about being at home, you have someone watching you at every turn. There were also a few successive thefts, and Xiao An had to be more cautious. Who knows who is watching themselves in some inconspicuous corner?

Although, she still doesn't understand what she has to be watched.

What can they find in me? What value do I have for them?

Or, do I know something? But what do I know, what is there to fear them?

Forget it, I can't figure out those people for a while anyway. I am in the light, others are in the dark, as long as I have the heart to hide, how can I find it. And. I don't rule out the possibility of being too careful, maybe, maybe, those before were really just coincidences? I was really unlucky.

I still don't want to scare myself. Even if someone is really ambushed here, and Ah Gong doesn't know how to avoid suspicion and secrecy, I don't want to be too pretentious, so as not to scare Ah Gong and them. I still have to ask questions, maybe some things belong to me, and some people may not be able to grasp them immediately after hearing them.

Come to think of it. Xiao An followed Ah Gong and asked, "Then why do you all call her Grandma Xing?" ”

Ah Gong saw that he had been talking for a long time, and finally someone began to ask questions, and he was even more interested.

"Hehe, actually, she was still a girl when she left, and her full name seems to be Xing What Love, or is it just a single name and a love word? Alas, few people remember these things after all these years. Those old people are either dead or walking, and I can remember it until now, and it is good that you can still meet them. However, when she was a daughter, everyone did call her Xiao Ai, and we all called her Sister Xiao Ai at that time. The reason why she has become a 'mother-in-law' now is also because she is there after all, even if it is us, we can't always talk to you about a little sister. ”

She's gone, and she's long gone.

Xiao An is not surprised by Grandma Xing's departure, Grandpa has mentioned before that the Xing family has left here, she just didn't expect that Grandma had cut off contact with this place early, so there shouldn't be too many stories about what happened to her here.

But in that case, why do the hints in the dream point to this place so often?

Where would she have gone? Where will they go? Could it be that she also came to my birthplace, or is she an elder in my family? But why haven't I heard her mentioned in my family, and as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a single photo in the family that shows anyone who bears a striking resemblance to me.

I'm too lazy to think about it anymore, so it's faster to ask Ah Gong directly.

"Well, that Grandma Xing has left us a long time ago, and I naturally have no contact with her, but I have some impressions."

"She left early," Xiao Anwu repeated Grandpa's words, and then asked, "Did she leave with her husband's family?" ”

"Uh, no, no, she didn't seem to be married at the time!"

"Did she leave alone?"

"Not really! It seems that there was a Kuomintang officer or someone who brought her to Taiwan together. ”

Oh, it turns out that I went to the other side of the strait again.

So, who will this Xing Ai, Grandma Xing, be?

Xing is not a biased surname, and the population of the family is not small, but there is really no relative with this surname.

Xiao An recalled vigorously, and reviewed all the familiar things in the family: cousins, cousins, distant relatives, close relatives, aunts, aunts, aunts, uncles, uncles, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, brothers-in-law, and even nieces, nieces, sons-in-law, grandparents, siblings, and even the children of grandparents, but no one has this surname.

Maybe this is fate, even if there are only a few people in the family. There may be this surname, but if you don't have it, even if the family is comparable to a harem, there should be no one.

Possible. Some people really only belong to a past life, or a certain period, and as long as this period is passed, everything will disappear, and you can look for it carefully. It's hard to find any traces.

But now I still have to find the traces that Grandma Xing may have left behind. After all, the words have already been said here, and in front of my eyes, there is a living "human witness", and there are really people who think that there is a person in this world who is very similar to me, and this person has been frequently haunted in my dreams before this.

Ah Gong didn't notice Xiao An, who was listening to his memories and reminiscing on his own.

At this time, Xiao An was guessing that if Grandma Xing didn't have much contact with him, but he could still remember some things vividly, then something else must have happened with Grandma Xing's departure.

This matter was here at the time. It should have caused a sensation, as a child at the time, he watched adults talk about it every day, and he was deeply impressed by it. And now, Xiao An, who suddenly appeared in front of him after more than half a century, not only evoked his memories, but also made him wonder if it could be that Grandma Xing had some unresolved grievances that needed to be realized by Xiao An in this life.

"Listening to Grandpa say this, I seem to have a good impression of Grandma Xing!" Xiao An discovered this.

"That's right. I was only a few years old at the time, but Sister Ai, oh, didn't I say that. We all call her Sister Ai, she has always taken good care of us, no matter whose children she likes. Her family was in a good situation at the time, and she often gave us good food, so we all liked her! ”

Because of the beauty of childhood, Ah Gong recalls happily.

"So, if there is anything to do with her or her descendants, I am willing to do something for her, after all, it is also an old neighborhood for many years, plus the fate of this tea plantation. However, girl, don't worry, Sister Xiao Ai was a very kind person back then, even if she really had any unfulfilled wishes that she needed others to help her realize, it shouldn't be too embarrassing. ”

Well, why does the guild think so, or does this Grandma Xing really have some unfulfilled wishes?

"It seems that Grandma is a very good person, why don't Grandpa tell us more about her story!" Seeing Ah Gong's interest, and he just happened to need to understand, Xiao An pushed the boat along the water, just waiting for Ah Gong to finish telling the rest of the story.

"Well, I was very young at that time, and the girl's family before liberation, as you know, must have been very strict with the family education. Even in the countryside, after finishing work, they are in a hurry to go home, and even if they go out, they are all fixed places. However, that little love was more frequent in various activities at that time, although she was quiet, just because his brothers often came out to get together, and sometimes he loved to take her, and she became familiar with everyone when she came and went. ”

"Her brother? Does she have many brothers? ”

Xiao An immediately remembered those familiar scenes, three men and one woman, could it be that they are brothers and sisters in the family?

"Oh, no, she only has one brother, and no one remembers what his big name is, but many people call him Xing Er. Originally, he had an older brother above him, but he died at a young age, so the two of them were left. And their parents' health is not very good, they always need to see a doctor, and then they simply entrust them to relatives to raise. ”

"So if you say that, they're related to us in the first place?" Xiao An understands so.

"No, no, two of the brothers I'm talking about are their neighbors, and they have been playing since childhood. Later, I don't know how old they were, maybe seventeen or eighteen years old, I heard that they went somewhere together, and I don't know how long it took, and they never came back, but I heard that the three of them were developed. Oh, by the way, is your grandfather An Laosan still alive? Didn't he tell you about it? ”

"No," Xiao An replied truthfully, "my grandfather is a very simple man. Oh, of course I didn't meet him, I wasn't born until long after he died, and my father was the youngest child in the family. As for the development you mentioned, hehe, it seems like it never happened since my grandfather's time. My grandparents raised several children, all of whom were mediocre, and our lives were only enough to eat, nothing too special. ”

Yes, if grandpa was brilliant back then, then at least he would leave us a certain inheritance, right? But the truth is that since my father was born, he has not enjoyed any special benefits. And if it is said that the family business has been lost, it seems unlikely, the elders often talk about thrift to cultivate virtue, and the family does not have that habit.

"Oh, is that so? It's not the same as I know. Ah Gong looked at Xiao An, and then looked into the distance, feeling incredible.

Seeing that Ah Gong was deep in thought, Xiao An didn't know how to pick it up, and remembered the little impression of Grandma Xing in his mind, so he said to Grandpa, "Grandpa, was that Grandma Xing like this when she was young?" ”

Then, there is a detailed description.

"Yes, yes! How do you know? Ah Gong began to look excited again.

"Oh, I have a picture of her at home, and I'm still carrying it with me! Here's it for you! Just about to reach out to find "that photo", Xiao An had a row of brains, phew! It's really a pig's brain: where to find photos? It was just a dream of my own.

"Uh, hehe, I'm sorry Ah Gong, that may be a photo of some other elder in my family, I have seen it once, and my brain is not good for the past two days. How could I casually put a photo of my ancestors on my body, don't be surprised! ”

Ah Gong smiled, but he didn't care. Of course, why should people care, it's not their business.

Xiao An is a little lucky, although this is also a bit risky, but fortunately I didn't change my appearance, otherwise if I changed to something else, that Ah Gong wouldn't recognize me, and I wouldn't be involved in this history.

At this point, the context is gradually becoming clearer.

That is to say, my grandfather and his younger brother, that is, my fourth master, well, this fourth master that I have never heard of. The two of them have always been friendly with the Xing family brothers and sisters, and then they left here and went elsewhere, and the Xing grandmother also left here, but did not go with them. But where they have gone, and what they have experienced, who can tell me, I would very much like to know.

And why have I never heard that there is a fourth master in the family, is it because they don't tell me, or is there a mistake in the explanation of outsiders? It doesn't look like the old man is lying to me, he doesn't need to deceive people, he is not a party, he doesn't know, and there is nothing to hide.

She knew a thing or two about the origin of her family, who originally lived somewhere in western Fujian, and then traveled north and finally settled in this city. Xiao An is not without surprise, it stands to reason that her hometown was originally a hometown of overseas Chinese, and most of them developed abroad, but why did their family go north and return?

The explanation given by the elders is that an elder in Xiao An's family was admitted to a university in the north and later worked here, so he simply formed his own family and did not go back. According to Xiao An's grandmother, when she was young, people from her hometown occasionally came to visit here during the New Year's holidays, but as the younger generations grew up, this family affection gradually faded.

Well, on the surface, it seems to make sense, so I'll assume you're not lying.

Yes, these few inferences alone can't disprove anything, Xiao An must take action and solve these mysteries with his own hands.

In fact, those doubts that occasionally appeared in her life, she originally planned to continue to be dashing and confused, turning a blind eye to them. But now it seems that pretending to be stupid also requires luck, and if you are unlucky, it can only be a luxury, and you will suffer the same pain, and the most cruel will be exposed to the world.

Everything is so easy to do, and what you should encounter will not be left behind. It's like painting, do you think it's like taking a picture and a masterpiece is born with a few clicks?

That's also ridiculous.

So without further ado, Xiao An, you better hurry up. (To be continued.) )
