Chapter 515: Old Patriarch

The oldest elder in the village, who was also the patriarch of this small clan, received them.

Yes, all the people in this village are people with the surname "Yu". As soon as the old man met them, he proudly told them that their ancestor was the younger disciple of Song Xianggong during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Due to a dispute with the Song State, the descendants changed their surname to "Yu" when they fled from the Song Kingdom, and it has been passed down to the present.

And he also said disdainfully that among the people surnamed Yu now, except for them, the rest are all "fake surnames" and Hu people. Only they are the real people with the surname Yu.

Gu Ming took a closer look at this so-called most decent room in the entire village, and felt that their surname was quite right. Of course, the fisherman has to be surnamed fish! If you don't have a fish surname, it's not more appropriate than this!

If they are really the descendants of Song Xianggong's disciple Ziyu, I don't know if they will be so angry with these incompetent descendants that they will get up from the grave, and then vomit blood and die again?

You know, Ziyu is a well-known smart person in history.

Yu Qin and the others saw that the old man was quite proud of his long-standing surname, so they followed his meaning and praised Song Ziyu a few words, praising him as a rare sage. Sure enough, the old man surnamed Yu was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he was obviously photographed very comfortably.

Although he didn't understand, the more powerful the ancestors, the more incompetent the descendants seemed to be compared to the present.

Just waiting for Yu Qin to say what he meant, the old man showed an embarrassed expression: "You want to go to that sin island?" "Although they are not as proud as they were a thousand or two thousand years ago, they have not broken the rules at all.

It's like a good island, and no matter what you do, it's better than being a prison for exiled sinners. Even if it is just to cultivate the land, it will allow them to have more food by the time of autumn......

At least, those half-grown boys won't be able to afford even a pair of pants to cover their shame.

However, they stubbornly followed the rules handed down from one or two thousand years ago, and if any clan made a mistake, they never handed it over to the government to deal with, but opened an ancestral hall, and let the clan law decide how to deal with it, and exiled to that small island, at least half a month, at most several years.

What I didn't expect was that there were still people who took the initiative to go to that place...... No wonder it made him spooked.

"Isn't it inconvenient? Uncle? Yu Shang raised his eyebrows and asked.

They came this time and gave rich gifts, and there are not many people in this Yu clan, almost all of them and everyone have received gifts that are worth a lot of money from Sun.

Rice, pork, oil, noodles, seeds, cloth...... It's not a precious thing, but these things are the most noble things for this ancient clan that seems to have only come from 2,000 years ago.

Among the gifts of Yu Shang, there was also a set of extremely noble gifts specially given to the old patriarch - a set of tea sets.

Just a set of seven or eight small teacups of tea sets has already surpassed all the other gifts, or far exceeded.

The rest of the clansmen didn't understand this, and they were already so happy that they couldn't close their mouths when they looked at the rice, meat, oil and noodles they had received from their families. The boys drooled at the delicious food, and the girls looked at the brand-new cloths with red circles. Adult people like that kind of child even more.

With such good seeds, plant them in winter, and next year, you will have a good harvest. The whole family will never have to go hungry again. Perhaps, I won't have to go hungry again.

No one will bother with the little tea set of the old patriarch. It was not something to be eaten or drunk, and in their eyes, it was far less affordable than the things they had gotten.

But the old patriarch is more knowledgeable than them, although I don't know how much this tea set is worth, but it must be extremely expensive.

So although I was not very happy with their request, I didn't really drive them away.

This is to take people softly and eat people's mouths short.

"Uncle, you don't have to be embarrassed, we know that a few decades ago, there was a scholar who came to the nobles, and also took your boat to that small island......" Yu Shang said softly, "Do you remember?" ”

That young man from decades ago? The old patriarch fell silent.

He thought about it for a long, long time.

It was a memory that was too far away, but thankfully, what the scholar had done was so hard to forget that he finally remembered.

"At that time...... I'm only a few years old, but I remember him. The old patriarch groaned and said slowly, "The patriarch at that time was my grandfather, and I don't understand how he used to persuade my grandfather......"

He stared at a few people, his gaze slightly wary.

"We went there, in fact, there is no ill will towards you Yu clan people." Yu Shang opened his mouth and said, if he could smile a little kindly, his words would be more convincing, "Moreover, we also brought one person...... A book. ”

He pointed to Gu Ming, who was sitting quietly on the side, and said, "This is the descendant of the scholar back then, she saw the manuscript of this book at home, so she asked us to find it together." ”

"What's on that island that is worth it?" The old patriarch frowned in disbelief.

"Nothing useful to the average person, but ...... for us It may have a certain value...... "Gu Ming said. She flipped the manuscript to the page where this section was written, and handed it to the old patriarch to show him, "We...... Hope to find this person. ”

"I don't know if he's still alive." Yu Qin said with some concern.

In fact, he has been worried about this for a long time, but he has never dared to say this.

By now, he finally couldn't help himself and spoke out.

"What are you looking for him?" After reading those words, the old patriarch was a little surprised, "This person is cursed by heaven, as a son of man, he doesn't know his parents......"

That's why he was sent to that island and left to fend for himself?

Everyone else is "exiled for an indefinite period", but he is the only one who is "exiled for an indefinite period". Just because, he has a problem of not being able to know people. Yu Shang's face darkened.

For so many years, if he hadn't been low-key enough and protected himself well enough, then what would have happened to him?

"But he didn't die." The old patriarch said.

Yu Qin perked up and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"Because on that island, I haven't sent a clan for several years. But it's not just that one person who is there. Ten years after the scholar left, a miracle doctor came here, and after hearing about his problem, he took the initiative to ask us to send him there. ”

He said he would heal him. If he came out, there were only two possibilities, one was that the disease had been cured, and the other was that he was dead. The old patriarch said.
