Chapter 127: The New Guest
The old man was right, maybe I didn't need to take care of anything before, and I could do whatever I wanted. But not now, I have my grandmother behind me, and Minmin, and the expectations of my grandfather and the old man who carved the monument.
I am no longer a person, but the pillar of the Guan family, the successor of the coffin bearer, and I can no longer do what I want. When you want to go on an adventure, you always have to think about the people behind you.
But fortunately, first of all, the affairs of the Wu family are completely over, as long as I bury those two bodies properly, there will be no more problems.
Secondly, that is, my grandfather has been looking for the misty forest for most of his life, and it has also involved a lot of my energy, and at this time I can finally see some clues at this time. Although it is not possible to explore in detail for a while, it is better to have clues than no clues.
And if it all happened as the grave keeper said, that everything came from the Misty Forest, and that strange and strange things would continue to happen one after another, then sooner or later I would find other clues, which meant that the day would be closer to the final unraveling of the mystery.
Since the injury was not completely healed, I had to stay at the old man for another day. But in the end, I was still worried about my grandmother and Minmin, and the next morning, I took a ride back to the village with Jiang Yifeng.
When I returned not far from the door of my house, I saw my grandmother and Min Min standing at the door looking at the road, and when I saw me and Jiang Yifeng, I immediately showed a relieved expression.
It can be seen that in the past few days of my absence, the two of them have been worried about me a lot. It wasn't until I saw that I returned safely that the heart that had always been hanging was able to let go.
I felt very guilty and walked a few steps to the door, wanting to say something apologic. Grandma took the lead and said to me, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
On the other side, Min Min's eyes were full of tears, I'm afraid I don't think I can almost come back this time, right?
The four of them walked into the house, and Min Min grabbed me and whispered to me, "Next time there is such a dangerous thing, don't you go?" ”
I smiled at her, just about to say something comforting.
But at this moment, there was a knock on my door.
I looked back helplessly, only to see that my grandmother had gone to open the door. Outside the door, the village chief stood there, followed by a young man in a suit and leather shoes.
When I saw the village chief appear, I knew that it was not a good thing, and when I looked at the young man beside him with a kind and begging expression, I had to sigh in my heart, 'It's really an eventful time'!
But anyway, if someone finds me, I'm going to go.
So, despite my reluctance, I went over and let them in.
The village chief pointed at me and said to the young man, "This is the boss of the Guan family, the coffin bearer of our village. Don't look at the younger age, there is a lot of work to handle, and the reputation is very good! If you have anything, just tell him, anyway, it is a person from the village, and the boss of the Guan family will definitely be eager to help. After saying this, he didn't forget to ask me, "Boss of the Guan family, am I right?" ”
The village chief had already praised me just now, and where might I make him unable to get off the stage at this time, he immediately said: "Of course, the villagers should help each other." ”
The young man hurriedly stepped forward, took my hand, and said to me: "Thank you so much, little coffin, you probably don't know me, I entered the city with my parents when I was very young, I was only two or three years old at that time, I don't remember things, and it is the first time I have come back in so many years." ”
"Well, I see." I nodded in understanding.
I grew up in a village, which itself is not very big. People my age basically played with me when I was a child, how could I not have any impression of him?
Knowing what he said, I asked him, "What should you call it?" ”
Before the young man could speak, the village chief had already answered me for him: "His name is Zhao Xuanhai!" The only son of your Uncle Zhao family in the east of the village, Uncle Zhao, do you remember? He hugged you when you were younger! ”
Of course I know Uncle Zhao, but I don't remember that he once hugged me, but that their family is the richest family in the village.
In this era, in fact, everyone is poor. After this catastrophe, the so-called rich also became poor. Everyone is the same, and there is no comparison mentality.
But the Zhao family may have been an accident!
Or do you say that intellectuals are popular at all times?
The Zhao family started from Zhao Xuanhai's grandfather's generation, and he was a scholarly family, and it is said that he was also promoted at a young age, and he served as a counselor for many big people, and he was deeply trusted.
Of course, some people said that it was all about helping officials to oppress the common people. Such a reader is the most despised. But whether you can afford him or not, there is always a lot of power in the hands of others, and there is a lot of wealth accumulated.
Besides, you say that he is not a good person for helping the big man to counsel the aircraft maintenance, but he also has his own set of rhetoric. Learning literary and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family, this is not very good at some times, but it is not for the Son of Heaven and for the people, this is always high, right?
Anyway, anyway, the family has risen since that generation, all the way to Zhao Xuanhai's father's generation, all the winds and waves can survive unharmed, and most of them can avoid any wind and waves.
Until a few years ago, when I heard someone mention their family, some people said that he is now a celebrity in the county and is also an official. Anyway, we countrymen don't know much about the city, and we forget this kind of hearsay after hearing it, and we don't deliberately take it to heart.
But now, seeing his obviously different clothes and demeanor from ordinary people, I can't help but believe that it seems that their family is really prosperous.
"Then ...... you're here today," I couldn't help but speculate.
Although their family is prosperous, it is said that they have never been prosperous.
Although his great-grandfather had brothers and sisters, they all died early in the war. His grandfather was the only one in his grandfather, and his father was the only one in his father's generation, and the family was not harmonious, and his grandparents and fathers were divorced early.
When he found me, I couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to Uncle Zhao.
But looking at his face, it doesn't look like the grief of a loved one's death, which makes me a little puzzled, why?
Zhao Xuanhai saw my doubts, so he explained to me: "Little coffin, my father passed away two years ago, and the funeral was held in the city according to the emerging rules. This time, please don't do it for my dad. It's for the sake of our family's ancestral grave, and I want to move it. You see, can you? ”
Grave relocation?
From the time I took over my grandfather's business until now, it was the first time I met someone who wanted to move the grave.
In fact, in rural areas, there is not much to talk about, but there is actually a lot to say less. Many times, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources and wastes a lot of energy, but in fact, the root cause is just a strange dream.
It is true that people rest in the tomb from birth to death, and no one will disturb them when they are idle. But for the sake of the ancestors' dreams, or for the sake of the unrest of the children and grandchildren's homes, and so on, this grave can actually be moved.
It's just that the graves can't be moved indiscriminately, otherwise not only will there be no benefit, but it will hinder the living and harm the dead, so I must ask clearly before moving the grave.
