Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read. I found out that there are a lot of surnames in the genealogy of this town, and they are a multi-surname structure. The most common surnames are Yang, Mao, Li and Bai.

The parchment scroll is long, with small letters on it, and it contains the names of generations of men. Women are not included in the genealogy, this is an ethnic group respected by men, which is also in line with the Han culture.

I'm not interested in the names of the back, I want to see the people of the first generation. It's the names of the generation that moved from outside, and I think there must be the answer I'm looking for in these names.

A few years ago, many children born during the Tangshan earthquake were called macroearthquakes, earthquake-resistant. How many children were called resisting US aggression or aiding Korea when they resisted US aggression and aided Korea? People's names are marked by history.

For the Yelang people, that great escape should be an indelible mark. Even after more than a thousand years, there will still be traces.

I took a magnifying glass and began to search for clues from family to family, and a family with the surname Bai caught my attention.

According to the patriarch, this genealogy was only started by the ancestors when they arrived in Yelang Town. In other words, many of the people in front of this fled from the ancient country of Yelang. This first generation recorded thirteen men in a family of forty-six.

Of course, there must be some female dependents. There must be more than 100 people in total. These more than 100 people will definitely not be the whole of Yelang Country, but only a part of the escape, or the most successful part of the escape. After they fled here, they settled down and began to multiply and grow. Today, it has become a small town.

Below these forty-six people are the second generation, and among the children born in this second generation, the male names born in the family surnamed Bai have made me interested enough. The first male is called Bai Hong, the second is called Bai Mu, the third is called Bai Ya, the fourth is called Bai Long, the fifth is called Bai Pan, and the sixth is called Bai Xue.

As soon as I saw the name of this child of the Bai family, seven words appeared in my mind: Redwood Cliff, Longpan Snow Mountain.

It can only be said that the Bai family's son gave birth to too little, otherwise there would be more complete information. If there is a seventh child, it should be called Baishan.

After seeing this Bai family child, I took a magnifying glass and began to count the names of other children. The names of the children of the Yang family are also very instructive, and the names of the children of the Yang family are generally two-character. Before the Sui Dynasty, all people's names were single words, and single words were noble, but after the Tang Dynasty, there were gradually more double words.

The eldest of the children in this family is called Yang Nianzu, which represents the beginning of a new generation and wants children to remember their ancestors.

The old/second is called Yang Nianxi.

West is a direction, why read West? This is telling me plainly that they are coming from the west. Looking at other children, there is no Yang Niandong and Yang Nianbei, which is enough to explain my judgment.

The third child is called Yang Nianguo.

Is this thinking about the fallen Yelang Country all the time?

I memorized each name of the second generation in my heart, and after confirming it repeatedly, I filtered out the meaningless ones, and finally deduced that the seat of this Yelang Ancient Kingdom should be in the west, and there is a significant mountain peak called Longpan Snow Mountain, and there is a mountain cliff called Redwood Cliff, which should be full of trees, and this tree should be red leaves.

The ancient city of Yelang is under the snow-capped mountains, and the melting snow of the snow-capped mountains nourishes the city, and the Bai surname here lives and works in peace and contentment, creating a remarkable civilization.

If I look at the name of the third generation, it doesn't make sense anymore. I handed the magnifying glass to Huzi, who took it and looked at it. After chatting with the patriarch for a few words, I smiled and said, "It's really too much trouble for you." ”

The patriarch said, "What do you do?" ”

I said, "We are an expedition to find out where your ancestors came from, and to put it bluntly, we want to find out where your roots are." ”

The old patriarch nodded and said: "There was also an expedition many years ago, and it was the same as what you said, it was also said that they wanted to find the roots of our Yelang people and find the ancient city of Yelang, and they also came by car, and then put the car in our town and rode into the mountains. After this trip, he never came out again, and the car was later driven away by the commune. I've been thinking about this for a long time, and you said that if someone comes back and asks me for a car, how should I explain it to someone? ”

I said, "How many years?" ”

"At the time of the Great Revolution! It was a mess, I remember it clearly. He said, "The captain who took the lead is surnamed Corpse, and I was thinking at the time, why is there still someone with this surname, it is said that he is still an American/Chinese." ”

As soon as I heard it, I knew I was in the right place, and I said, "Riding into the mountains?" How many people got in? ”

"About a dozen, the horses were bought from the county, and the cars were stored in the courtyard of our ancestral hall. Later, he was driven away by the group of young revolutionaries of the commune! ”

Yuwanwan took the magnifying glass at this time and began to look at the family tree, the names of this generation are almost the same, and you can't see anything if you don't care. She's a magician, not a detective, and she's not trained as a high-level agent, so she doesn't know what information is in it. She's just looking.

I said goodbye to the old patriarch.

The old patriarch said, "If you find a place, tell me first, and when I die, I will have them carry me over and bury me next to my ancestors." ”

I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you first." By the way, I have a question for you, did the Mr. Corpse also read this genealogy? ”

The patriarch nodded and said, "Yes, it is also the corpse gentleman I received, he is polite and a cultural person." ”

As soon as we walked into the courtyard, the corpse shadow and Lu Xueman hurried over, and as soon as the corpse shadow came in, he said to me: "The villager told me that an expedition team came here and rode into the mountain, and never came out again. The timing coincided perfectly with the time when my father came. ”

I said, "It's your father and the patriarch who told me, let's go, let's go back first." ”

When the old patriarch heard this, he looked at the corpse shadow and said, "Is Mr. Corpse your father?" Hello girl, are you also American/Chinese? ”

It can be seen that this patriarch and the old corpse have learned a few words of English, and they have not forgotten it until now.

The corpse shadow nodded and said, "Patriarch, my name is corpse shadow, and I came this time mainly to find clues about my father's disappearance." If you have any news, be sure to let me know! ”

The patriarch sighed and said, "About a dozen people, riding horses into the mountain, it should be eight people, riding eight horses, and walking west along the big river, I watched them walk with my own eyes." They said that they would come back before the winter in three months at most, but I waited for three years and didn't wait to come back, and then I didn't expect anything, and the eight people should be gone! ”

I nodded and said, "Patriarch, I've bothered you too. This time we went into the mountains to look for them, and we will definitely be able to get them back. To live to see people, to die to see corpses. ”

The patriarch said, "You must come back, find the people, bring them back, even if it is a corpse, it is good, I owe them two cars." ”

After we left the ancestral hall and returned to the big car shop, I took out a pen and paper and wrote down the seven words: Longpan Snow Mountain, Redwood Cliff.

I said, "This Yelang Ancient City should be at the foot of this Longpan Snow Mountain, next to the Redwood Cliff." "High-quality and free reading is in the Reading Pavilion."
