Chapter 25 The first time I saw the six cattle people in Liwan Village

Chen Yi and Chen Ru went to Gui Province and invited several geographers to investigate many times. After a year of exploration, he finally unanimously selected the feng shui treasure of Liwan Village, and drew a map of the topography of Liwan Village to his eldest brother Chen Cheng.

After the letter arrived in the capital, Chen Cheng asked the royal geologist to see the land in Liwan Village, saying that it was a rare treasure. If the ground is properly built, the people of his clan will be brave and enduring! Chen Cheng was very happy to hear this, and immediately took out his life savings of 100,000 taels of silver tickets and sent them to his two brothers for the purchase of real estate and fertile land, and asked the master to paint a special building complex according to the topography of Liwan Village. Who would have thought that before the architectural drawings were drawn, Chen Cheng died of anger due to the "Treaty of Nanjing".

When the genealogy was read here, the patriarch sighed, no wonder. Since our people settled here, everything has gone smoothly, and the people are very prosperous, but it is difficult to produce big people. It turned out that the building lacked rules, and it was wrong for more than 100 years, but my people didn't know it.

Chen Yi, after Chen Ru bought land and settled down, he didn't wait for a long time to hear from his eldest brother. The central people went to Beijing to inquire, but what came back was the news of the death of the eldest brother Chen Cheng, and the sister-in-law and little nephew did not know where to go.

Everything here in Liwan Village was given by the eldest brother Chen Cheng. Chen Yi, Chen Ru wants to remember the kindness of his eldest brother Chen Cheng from generation to generation, and order future generations to pass on this kindness. Although I still don't have much hope for my little nephew and sister-in-law in the troubled times, people want to see people, and they want to see corpses when they die. The two brothers ordered someone to plant three Chongyang trees at the entrance of the village, sending a message to the three brothers to reunite again regardless of life and death.

"Okay, I'll wait for my family back today anyway. All families paid attention and immediately went back to inform the clansmen who were working in other places to come back. Tomorrow night, the village will have a big family banquet for Chu Mo, and Chen Chumo will take the wind. If there is any absence, the family tree will be expelled and expelled from Liwan Village. Also, tonight, the ancestral hall will hold a village banquet, and every family must send a representative to attend. The patriarch announced loudly.

It's too domineering, it's all old, and the patriarch is majestic, it's not easy for you to trap me.

Chen Chumo knew that the people of Liwan Village, over the years, were the same as the people in the surrounding villages. In order to live, most of them went to Guangdong Province to make a living, and only came back during the Chinese New Year and the Qingming Festival. Some of them are difficult, and they can only come back once every other year, and life is quite difficult. As soon as I came back like this, I messed up the rhythm of everyone's life, and I couldn't bear it. Anyway, after so many years, Liwan Village and other ancestors of Chen Cheng did not report any hope. If you knew this, if you don't come back to recognize a relative, you should die.

Guilt is guilty, and the village banquet that night was held as scheduled. A stage was also set up in front of the ancestral hall, and the patriarch said that he would invite the troupe to sing for three days and three nights.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the main table in the ancestral hall of the village was full of a large table. Except for the patriarch and Chen Chumo, the others are either highly respected people in the village, or capable people in the village.

"Chu Mo will introduce you to these three. What about this, Chen Youbang, you have to call him Uncle Bang according to his seniority. Now he works at the county prosecutor's office, and is the head of the investigation supervision section. The patriarch pointed to a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a righteous face.

"This one, Chen Zheng, the secretary of the county government. In terms of seniority, you call him Brother Zheng. "The patriarch is talking about his own nephew. A talent, with a pair of glasses, a middle-aged man with a sven text.

"This one, the head of the Education Section of the County Education Bureau, Chen Dexian. According to the seniority, you call him Uncle Dexian. The patriarch said to a middle-aged man with a full beard.

After the introduction, Chen Chumo followed the patriarch and everyone called out, which was considered to be an acquaintance.

"These three, although their positions are not high, have always done a good job. They are the pride of our Liwan Village, and if you have anything outside, you can solve it with them. The patriarch said seriously.

In this way, Chen Chumo and the future Chen political triumvirate of Gui Province met. This night, Chen Chumo drank so much that Chen Chumo had no impression of how to leave the banquet in the end. I only remember that the people in the village came over one by one to toast with Chen Chumo.

The next day, Chen Chumo woke up at the patriarch's house, and when he got up, it was already more than 12 noon.

"Chu Mo, you can really drink, you drink a few uncles, brothers and brothers by yourself, you really deserve to be the seed of our old Chen family. By the way, continue tonight, and now there are many relatives back from other places. They all said they wanted to see you, but I blocked you back when you didn't wake up. Hungry or not, the family has just cooked a meal, let's eat some together. The patriarch said to Chen Chumo, who came to the hall.

"No, patriarch, I'm a little dizzy now, and I really don't have an appetite. I want to walk around the village, sober up, and tonight we will continue to pay my brothers and sisters for a good drink. Chen Chumo said.

"Okay, then I, the old man, will accompany you for a walk and take a look at our Liwan Village. Anyway, my old man has always eaten little, and he is not hungry now. As he spoke, the patriarch walked out of the door with Chen Chumo.

Liwan Village stands against the mountain, and the front is open, which is really a good place. Standing on the top of the hill behind the village, Chen Chumo said in his heart.

"Chu Mo, my patriarch has no ability over the years, and he has scattered the hearts of the people in the village, which is really worthy of his ancestors. In the past hundred years, the village has been inferior to one generation after another, and now most of the people in the village are even going out to work for others, which is really a loss of Chen Ping's ancestor's face. The patriarch said with tears in his eyes.

Liwan Village and Chen Chumo, the Chen clan, enshrine Chen Ping, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, as their ancestors. For thousands of years, the Chen family has emerged in an endless stream of talents, shining on the land of China, but after Chen Chumo's grandfather Chen Cheng, there have been no major achievements. For more than 100 years, except for the petty officials who can be counted on ten fingers, the Chen family has withered and failed. I don't know when this decline will be the end. Every time he thought of this, the old village chief was extremely sad, and as the patriarch of the Chen clan, he was also powerless.

"Don't get in the way, wait for us to rearrange the village according to Master Chen Chengtai's drawings, and Liwan Village will definitely take on a new look and get better in a few years." Chen Chumo said.

Looking at the extremely defeated village house at the foot of the mountain, Chen Chumo felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to help the clan relatives here, rebuild their homes, work hard to move forward, revitalize the Chen family, and fulfill the unfulfilled wish of the grandfather.

"Well, that's easier said than done. Now I have feng shui drawings, but to rebuild the house, I'm afraid I have to put it first. In these years, the people in the village are not rich, and it is not easy to get married and support their wives and children, and they are still passable. If they were to be pushed to their own houses to rebuild, it would be fatal. What's more, people nowadays don't believe in feng shui at all, saying that they are superstitious, and they throw away the things of their ancestors for thousands of years. Alas, the way of the world has changed, and it is difficult. The patriarch sighed and said.

Yes, this drawing came too late, if Liwan Village was still a wilderness, then it would be easy to build as you want. Now, it's hard, it's really hard. The Chen family in Liwan Village is not an immortal, but also a mortal. Like the little people all over China, they are so comfortable, even if they are desperate, they must be comfortable. As soon as you Chen Chumo came, you made everyone uneasy, and that was a great sin.

But when I look at this lifeless village again, if it is not rebuilt, I am afraid that it is really like what the patriarch said. You don't know which day, you will get separated when you go out for a walk, and you won't be able to come back. In the end, the Chen family will be overwhelmed by the crowd and slowly disappear into the torrent of history.

Repair, must repair, no matter what, I, Chen Chumo, must lead the relatives of Liwan Village to revitalize the Chen family.

Just do it, this is Chen Chumo's style. Although it is not possible to break ground now, it does not prevent Chen Chumo from conceiving a new Liwan Village. Chen Chumo has read the drawings, and he has been with the old Taoist master for many years, and he also knows a little about feng shui, so he built a model of Xinliwan Village in his mind.

The new Liwan Village should consist of three parts.

Some of the old houses were improved and rebuilt to form an ancient building complex with the atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Built against the mountain, it is staggered, and what you want is the artistic conception! This part of the complex is surrounded by a circle of tall horseshoe bamboos, leaving only a 20-meter-wide exit to connect to the outside. That's the first thing to do. Strive to start construction in one year and complete it within one year.

And outside is another part of Liwan Village.

This part happens to be the space zone of two or three hundred meters between the entrance of the village and the present village. A modern mansion complex was built, and fifty or sixty buildings were spread out along with the ancient buildings. The style and decoration of the mansion are really at the level of tens of millions, which is luxurious! Suitable for modern habitation, this is a matter of the future, the start time is to be determined, and it will be completed indefinitely.

The last and most central part of the village is the hill called "Aoyama" against which the village rests. The mountains are not high, but the trees are lush and green. A temple was to be built on the mountain, and 7 or 8 monks lived all year round. Ring the bell regularly every day, loud and solemn enough, and broadcast 3 or 4 kilometers away! Gather the good fate of all sentient beings, warn the evil of the world!

This mountain is the 'dragon vein' of the village. Therefore, the green mountains and the whole village had to be built with high walls. It is set as a private forbidden place, and outsiders are not allowed to enter! This is the second step to do, strive to start construction in the third year and complete it in two years!

The renovated Liwan Village, when seen from the air, will look like a tiled fan, with the appearance of a vague gossip formation.

In short, the layout and scenery of the village are like a landscape painting on a fan.

After Chen Chumo finished yy, he discussed with the patriarch, and the patriarch nodded again and again, and had a new understanding of this young man. Perhaps, this is the savior sent by the ancestors to Liwan Village.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the feast began on time again. But this time, there were a lot more people than last night. I heard the patriarch talk about the clansmen who are living outside, and those who can come back have all returned, and there is a ninety percent. What was said to be welcomed by the whole clan can't be realized now. The patriarch was reluctant to go, and he was very ashamed of Chen Chumo. Regardless of everyone's persuasion, he insisted on punishing himself with three bowls of liquor, which was really difficult for this old man who was over eighty years old.

People's hearts, it has been difficult to gather since ancient times, and the old man has done well enough.

The main table is still the same people as last night. After eating and drinking, Chen Chumo decided to take the initiative and toast table by table. You can't just sit here stupidly like last night and wait for someone to come up and toast. There are so many people today, if it is the same as last night, then Chen Chumo estimates that this bowl will come to an end.

Out of the ancestral hall, Chen Chumo saw a table of young people, in their twenties. Well, from here, the idea is to form an offensive and defensive alliance with them. With these young people on top, the rest of the people are not able to toast bowl by bowl.

Seeing Chen Chumo coming, a table of young people was very clever, and introduced themselves one by one.

Well, it's very different, and it feels very different to Chen Chumo. The people at this table are unusually good, presentable, organized, and have the shadow of social fritters. Especially the three people called Chen Hongxia, Chen Bin, and Chen Lishu. is of the same age, and it is very rare to speak without leakage. It seems that we can wait for a chance to urinate and talk to the patriarch. They must be left behind, and they cannot be let go back to Guangdong Province.

Since then, Chen Youbang, Chen Dexian, Chen Zheng, Chen Hongxia, Chen Bin, and Chen Lishu have met one by one in the six major cattle of Weizhen Gui Province and even the entire Liwan Village in China.
