Chapter 11 This is My Ancestral Grave
The night of early spring is still cold and lonely, and the heavens and the earth seem to have fallen into a deep sleep. In the dark and blue sky, the stars are twinkling playfully, and thousands of years of drift are almost infinitely cold!
Ye Feng stood under the lamp, and everyone gathered around a table with a simple sheepskin map on it, which was the information sent back by the spies!
Most of this manor is surnamed Mu, and it is called Mujiazhuang! The people of Zhuangshang are thriving, and it is one of the few estates with a growing population in the Northern Plains! Although there are many people, because they all belong to a family with one surname, their defense is not strong, and there are only dozens of gardeners who protect the garden!
Although there are more than 100 people on Ye Feng's side, there are thousands of people in Mujiazhuang, and they have a huge potential for war mobilization, so they can't be attacked!
Ye Feng looked at the map, his heart was not shocked, he knew that it was time to activate the clues buried in winter!
At dawn the next day, the bright sunlight in the sky turned into flowing gold and shook off Ye Fengjun's eyebrows, and the heart of his eyes reflected the clear gold! At this moment, Ye Feng was sitting on a white horse, the imperial military uniform gave him a supernatural heroic spirit, and behind him was a neat imperial military uniform-horse-bandit!
This was the first time Ye Feng had applied theory to practice, and his palms couldn't help but break out in a little cold sweat, raising his gray horsewhip and running in the predetermined direction!
Kaichun is the annual Qingming Festival in Mujiazhuang, and all the clansmen have to go up the mountain to worship their ancestors, in order to ask their ancestors to bless the safety of the coming year! All the clansmen of Mujiazhuang must be buried in the cemetery ten miles away from Mujiazhuang after death, which is the ancestral grave of Mujiazhuang!
In the past few generations, Mujiazhuang has never produced a big official, so the cemetery is messy! Only the small platform on the highest part of the cemetery was scraped together by the people of Mujiazhuang to build a slightly decent ancestral hall! In the ancestral hall, the patriarch brought everyone to worship the ancestors!
This year is no exception! It's just that the heavy snowfall in winter has caused landslides, and the hill with a low cemetery has become even lower! The mountain becomes golden in the sunlight! The morning is a good day, and the patriarch of the Mu family has already taken a group of people to bathe and fast, ready to worship the ancestors!
The scale of thousands of people is vast, starting from Mujiazhuang, the goal is to worship ancestors! The elders of the Mu family are also strong, although their white beards are fluttering, they are still very healthy, and they take the lead in the front! Ye Feng took the horse team and saw this group of ancestor worshippers from a distance!
Ye Feng was not in a hurry, slowed down his speed, and rode his horse and watched slowly: Don't worry, good things are still ahead!
At noon, the ancestor worship procession arrived at the ancestral tomb! Everything is according to the old rules, orderly, the old patriarch is very experienced, and at first glance, he is old and heavy!
Ye Feng smiled brightly, beat the horse and rushed out, the horse bandit behind him followed closely behind Ye Feng, the distance was close, the horse speed was also fast, and Ye Feng arrived in a blink of an eye!
The people in Mujiazhuang saw that the person who came was wearing a military uniform, and they knew that it was someone from the government! Now that this Shadow Plain is divided between the Empire, the Cold Moon, and the Moon Clan, it is not surprising to see the Empire's army! It's just that the people of Mujiazhuang are strange: we worship our ancestors here, and the army of the empire comes to mix what!
Ye Feng dismounted with a smile, and the horse bandits under his command saw so many people in Mujiazhuang, and their hearts that originally wanted to come to fight the autumn wind were beating non-stop, so they had to pretend to stand solemnly in place, hoping that their identities would not be recognized!
The people of Mujiazhuang looked at the army that was as straight as a gun and had no offense, and they were also beating drums in their hearts: Could it be that one of the clansmen offended them!
Ye Feng was very calm and smiled slightly, like ten thousand pear blossoms blooming together, elegant and splendid! As if he really was an imperial general! As he walked, he looked down at the ground under his feet, Ye Feng's eyes were sharp like a sheathed sword, unfathomable!
"That's right, it's exactly what I guessed!" Ye Feng's mind kept thinking, and his steps were faster!
The patriarch of the Mu family didn't pay attention to Ye Feng and his party, he was holding a lit incense in his hand, and wisps of fragrant smoke rose up, and the old patriarch's heart suddenly brightened! Holding Gao Xiang in both hands, his shriveled lips opened up and down, looking like he was about to worship his ancestors!
Ye Feng hurriedly ran forward, blocked in front of the old patriarch and said, "Old patriarch, slow down, this is my ancestral tomb!" ”
When the old patriarch heard Ye Feng's words, his body trembled, and he almost didn't fall to the ground, Ye Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support the old patriarch, and only then did he stabilize the situation!
The old patriarch wondered in his heart: "In these years, there are people who rob money, there are people who rob food, and they rob everything they can, but I haven't heard of it...... Rob...... Ancestral graves! ”
Ye Feng let go of his hand, the old patriarch stood firmly, and all the people in Mujiazhuang looked at Ye Feng in surprise, each thinking: "When will our Mujiazhuang have one more general!" A male voice said dismissively, "You are stupid! Didn't you hear people say that it was his ancestral grave? I can't tell you that we have worshiped the ancestor with a different surname for so many years! ”
The horse bandits are also stupid, and they are all wondering in their hearts: Are adults stupid, aren't we here to fight the autumn wind! Why did you come to rob the ancestral grave, I am a person with ancestors! The horse bandits all looked at each other, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in Ye Feng's gourd!
The old patriarch was really spicy, he was not shocked by the general clothes on Ye Feng's body, and his cloudy old eyes looked Ye Feng up and down, and then slowly spoke: "General, you're not joking with the old man, how can this be your ancestral tomb!" After speaking, the old patriarch stared at Ye Feng closely, not giving Ye Feng the slightest chance to think.
Ye Feng secretly praised the old patriarch, he deserves to be a person who has lived for so long, he is a human spirit! It's a pity that you met me, Ye Feng snickered in his heart! As soon as the old patriarch said this, Ye Feng guessed the meaning of the words: You said that the ancestral tomb is yours, is it yours! Is there any proof! Take it out!
You can't call it a word, let it say yes!
Ye Feng was already prepared in his heart when he faced the old patriarch's question, and his face was still as calm as ever! First bowed to the old patriarch, and did enough of the etiquette that the juniors should have!
Ye Feng knew in his heart that the older people were, the more they cared about these false courtesies, they were happy to see your respect for them, and they liked to hear you say flattering words to them! If you make them happy, you just sell them, and they will be happy to count you for money!
Ye Feng's hard training in the past three years has long seen through these sugar-coated shells, and now he can achieve his goal by just saying some good words and lowering his posture, and he will not hurt himself at all, so why not do it!
You say you lose your dignity! Honor! Ridiculous, these are all things that successful people play with! The loser can only play with the eggs! Sure enough, the old patriarch relaxed his vigilance against Ye Feng, Ye Feng looked at the old patriarch's stretched brows, and knew that the time had come to pit him!
"Juniors have no intention of offending! When I left home at a young age, I wandered alone, and I never forgot the ancestors of my hometown! Ye Feng bowed and swept the ground, the expression on his face exuded a truly touching pathos as he spoke, and seeing that the old patriarch's face became more and more kind,
Ye Feng stepped up his offensive: "The junior is surnamed Mu's name Ye, and my father told the junior before he died that the ancestor's ranking was buried under this platform!" But I didn't know that the patriarch had already built an ancestral hall here! So stop it! ”
The years are leisurely, the life is a hundred years, and the stability and maturity after the wind and frost have made the old patriarch know the standard for distinguishing the good from the bad, and what Ye Feng did is the standard of the good in his heart!
The old patriarch comforted Ye Feng: "Child, don't be sad, maybe we are a family!" Ye Feng pretended to be stunned, and the old patriarch smiled brightly: "Child, we are also surnamed Mu!" ”
The horse bandit saw Ye Feng's cute expression of pretending to be stupid, and scolded in his heart: It's so good to pretend! Just now I was still analyzing this Mujiazhuang with us, and now I forgot about it! What about liars!
The people of Mujiazhuang have completely different reactions: God bless, the dug up rank is the same as the row we worship, so that our Mujiazhuang has a big official! Although these people can't see Ye Feng's official rank!
The old patriarch had already ordered the people in the clan to dig, and the young man was strong, but after a while, he dug out a broken rank more than a meter underground! Although it was a little rotten, the old patriarch recognized the rank at a glance, and it was exactly the same as the rank enshrined in his own house!
The old patriarch said movingly: "Children, we are really a family! Ye Feng also rushed up to hug the old patriarch, and finally found his relatives, crying loudly, but thinking in his heart: Of course, this is the ranking stolen from your house! You can't deny your ancestors!
The old patriarch comforted Ye Feng, and the old man burst into tears: "Child, since you are back, let's go back to Mujiazhuang!" We welcome you home! Ye Feng nodded with tears in his eyes, and under the leadership of the old patriarch, he walked towards Mujiazhuang!
The people of Mujiazhuang are happy because there is one more big official, and they are all beaming!
But the horse bandits were speechless: this is how the supply of supplies has been solved! There are no conflicts! There was no bloodshed! Please, we're bandits, and you're so happy to welcome us! Completely speechless......
But thanks to the tricks of the adults, it was really powerful, and the horse bandits couldn't help but look at Ye Feng!
Ye Feng was pretending to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson at the moment, supporting the old patriarch, maybe thinking of some bad idea in his heart!
