Chapter 21 The Chen Family Cemetery
The second uncle, Chen Zongming, belongs to a more optimistic and cheerful and bold type of person with the surname Tian, unlike Chen Jinyuan's father Chen Zongkai, who is serious and serious. I usually like to play with juniors, Chen Jinyuan also likes to play with his second uncle, don't look at his second uncle, but his surname is very cute, and with his second uncle, just like with his own group of buddies and brothers, he doesn't feel the pressure like in front of his father at all. When I was a child, I always liked to run to my second uncle's house, and I even envied Chen Jie for having such a good father, but my father pulled a face every day and glared at him, and his legs and feet trembled.
"I just came back today, and I heard that you were beaten, so I'll come up and take a look!" After speaking, he looked at Chen Zongming with a kind of "you are too vegetable" eyes.
"Who told you! Lao Tzu wrestled by himself! Chen Zongming was anxious when he heard this, how could he lose face in front of the juniors, and hurriedly retorted.
"Cut, bluff who! You're not going to tell me you accidentally fell into a pit when you went to the toilet at night, right? Even if you fall into the pit, you won't fall and your nose will be bruised and swollen, right? Chen Jinyuan pretended to be puzzled, and said in a strange way.
"You're looking for a beating, aren't you?" Chen Zongming saw his nephew's eyes rolling wildly, and his tone was insinuating, and he didn't know that Chen Jinyuan was making fun of himself. With a glaring eye, he pushed the thick quilt aside, sat up, and threw the leftover apple core in his hand at Chen Jinyuan, but he used too much force, and one accidentally touched the injury, and immediately grinned his teeth, it hurt!
Chen Jinyuan dodged the hidden weapon issued by the second uncle, saw Chen Zongming's two eyebrows wrinkled together, knew that he must have touched the wound, and hurriedly ran over to support him, put away the hippie smile, and said with concern: "How is it!" You okay! I said, you're such a big person, and you have such a good face, what can you do! My mom told me everything, what are you pretending to be! ”
After a long while, Chen Zongming's frowning brows finally relaxed, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that there were so many of them, that kid Lao Tzu would definitely beat up all over the ground looking for teeth!" ”
"Right...... Right...... Right...... You are amazing, you are invincible in the world, and you still want to beat people all over the ground to find teeth, but you are beaten all over the ground to find teeth! Chen Jinyuan said with a look of disdain.
Chen Zongming nodded yes at first, but Chen Jinyuan's words changed when he listened to them, and he became angry for a while, wanting to do it but afraid of pulling the wound, and put down the hand he had just stretched out. As if remembering something, his face was covered with haze.
Chen Jinyuan saw that the second uncle's face was wrong, and knew that he must have remembered the events of that night, to be honest, anyone who encounters such a thing, there is suffering, there is no way to say, there is injustice can not be sueped, thinking about it, he will feel aggrieved. Seeing this, Chen Jinyuan hurriedly looked around and changed the topic: "Uh...... Second uncle, I came up to ask you to have dinner at my house, what about the second aunt, why didn't you see anyone? ”
Chen Zongming came back to his senses, sighed, and said with a somewhat reluctant smile on the corner of his mouth: "Uh...... Your second aunt went to the back field to help, alas, these second-rate sons can do such a lack of virtue as digging people's ancestral graves, Lao Tzu really wants to kill them! ”
"Second uncle! Don't be angry, you'll be angry! That yellow hair has done so many immoral things, sooner or later someone will clean him up! Seeing that the second uncle was about to go crazy again, he hurriedly said comfortingly.
Chen Zongming nodded: "Maybe, it's all because we're useless, I can only hope that God can take him in as soon as possible." ”
Chen Jinyuan sneered, if no one can clean up the yellow hair, then he can't say that he has to be a god and eliminate harm for the people!
At this time, there was a restaurant next to the township political axe in Panlong Township. A teenager with yellow hair dressed in non-mainstream clothes suddenly shuddered.
The store is a little deserted at this time, there is only one table of guests, not because the business is not good, but because it has been chartered here, and the person who chartered the room is none other than the yellow-haired Huang Xiaogui who Chen Jinyuan's family hates, Huang Mao is going to feast here today for two important guests, Huang Mao is munching on a piece of dog meat in his hand, his eyes glanced at the two shirtless men sitting in the first seat from time to time, and a trace of jealousy and fear flashed in his eyes and a trace of worship, yes, it is the worship of the weak to the strong.
Suddenly, just when Chen Jinyuan made up his mind to find an opportunity to take revenge on Huang Mao, a chill ran down Huang Mao's back to the back of his head, and a trace of bad premonition appeared in his heart for no reason, as if he was being targeted by a hungry wolf.
God has given animals an instinct, that is, to predict danger, just like before the earthquake, many animals can be aware of it in advance, so as to stay away from danger, human beings are also animals, and nature also inherits this instinct, but the long-term comfortable life, so that this instinct slowly degenerates, only some people who are often struggling on the edge of life and death can discover this instinct, such as spies, killers or specially trained special forces. There are also some people, for example, who are mixed on the road, today you cut me, tomorrow I will cut you, and have lived a life of fear that is not clear today, and the ability to predict danger naturally exceeds that of ordinary people, which can be regarded as a survival skill, Huang Mao's heart suddenly burst, and he intuitively felt that what would happen to a group of people tonight.
Nothing could go wrong, could it? Huang Mao was a little worried.
However, Huang Mao looked up at the two big men in front of him with serious and tense faces, this was a great cost for him to invite the formation, thinking of the incredible ability of the two, Huang Mao's heart was suddenly settled, and he was full of confidence in tonight's events, trying to throw away the sudden depressed feeling in his heart, and a flattering smile appeared on his face, and then he kept toasting to the two. The deserted shop suddenly began to staggered again, and from time to time a word or two of swear words came out, making this originally quiet small shop a little smoky.
Speaking of Chen Jinyuan, putting aside his reverie, seeing Chen Zongming's frustration, he said, "Hehe...... Second uncle, do you want to open a little...... Belch...... By the way, second uncle, I'll go to the field first, and then I'll come back and carry you down later! ”
"Well, go ahead, go early and come back early. Lao Tzu has been paralyzed in bed like this for the past few days, like a cripple, and he is about to suffocate a bird! ”
Chen Jinyuan readily agreed, and then ran to the back mountain, thinking in his heart that he would find a time to exchange some medicine for bruises with Qingfeng Little Daoist, so that the second uncle would suffer less pain.
The ancestral tomb of the Chen family is in a large woods behind the old house, there is a small path in the forest, which can only be passed by one person, and the two sides of the path are densely packed with tombs of different sizes and thick or thin trees. At this time, it was almost evening, the winter weather was relatively short, it was dark before seven o'clock, because of the obscuration of the trees, the light in the forest was even more dim, and the occasional one or two unknown bird calls made the surroundings even more eerie and terrifying.
After kicking away the stumbling bushes and weeds on the road, I walked about fifty meters and saw a tomb many times larger than the small tomb next to it. This is the stolen ancestral tomb of Chen Jinyuan's family. This tomb is very luxurious, it is also very famous in the local area, the whole tomb is repaired on the ground, the whole body is made of thousands of pounds of boulders, there is a two-meter-high tombstone in front of the tomb, carved like a pavilion in general. The outward side of the tombstone is engraved with the name of the tomb owner, official position, and the genealogical ranking of the Chen family. On the inward side, a song "Gentleman's Walk" is carved. On both sides of the tombstone are stone carved golden boys and girls.
The two huge tomb doors are carved with relief patterns, there are "Yang Jiajiang", "Fengshen Bang", "Magu Offering Longevity" and "Liangshan Heroes" and so on, the patterns are exquisite, the characters are vivid, and the joys, sorrows, and joys are different. Every time Chen Jinyuan sees these images, he can't help but sigh at the carving skills of the ancients. On both sides of the tomb door, a couplet is carved in cursive script, the right side is engraved with "the country and the mountains are different from the geometry of the ancients", and the left side is engraved with "Huangliang a dream will never be lost". Of course, it's all traditional, Chen Jinyuan still remembers that when he was a child, he deliberately checked the dictionary in order to figure out what was written on it. It is said that all the words on the tombstone and the tomb workshop were written on the stone by the tomb owner himself during his lifetime, and then carved on it by the craftsman, so it can be seen that the ancestor still has goods in his belly.
Chen Jinyuan's heart couldn't help but ignite a wave of admiration for the ancestor who was buried in this tomb.
At this time, several familiar figures were busy in the cemetery, it was Chen Jinyuan's father Chen Zongkai, second aunt Wu Yulian and grandmother He Miaozhen. Chen Jinyuan stepped forward, and his grandmother knelt in front of the tombstone, burning incense and burning paper with a pious face, and there were words in her mouth, as if she was asking for forgiveness from her ancestors. The second aunt was on the side with the cement, the father was busy at the tomb door, the tomb door that was pried off by the Huangmao gang had been reinstalled, and Chen Zongkai was using the reconciled cement to repair the gaps. The three of them were burying their heads in their own business, all with gloomy expressions, and they didn't talk to each other, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.
"Grandma, second aunt, dad!" Chen Jinyuan's arrival broke the tranquility in the cemetery, and the three of them raised their heads to meet Chen Jinyuan, who was standing in front of them, and a smile suddenly appeared on his originally somewhat gloomy face. Grandma put down the things in her hand and walked over tremblingly, holding Chen Jinyuan's hands tightly, and asked for warmth with a shush.
Chen Jinyuan walked in front of his father, and Chen's father opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
Chen Jinyuan said: "Dad! You don't need to say it, I know everything about my family! ”
Chen Zongkai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and didn't say anything, Chen Zongkai's surname has always been relatively quiet, he likes to take everything to heart, and bear it alone, Chen Jinyuan seems to have some inheritance in this regard.
"Mom asked me to come...... Come and call you home for dinner! Chen Jinyuan stammered a little when he spoke, to be honest, Chen Jinyuan was still a little afraid of Chen Zongkai in his heart, and this fear was innate.
Chen Zongkai hummed, put down the masonry knife in his hand, packed up his tools, and turned back to his grandmother and second aunt: "Okay, it's getting dark, that's it today, let's go back to eat!" The four of them went out of the cemetery together.
