Chapter 428: The Story Told by Old Man Yong (I)
To find the whereabouts of those thirty or so people from hundreds of Yin soldiers who had existed for more than a thousand years, even if they were masters of the Heavenly Dao Sect headquarters, few dared to take on this task.
The people from the Guizhou Tiandaomen branch did not even participate in this case.
It is precisely because of this that after our group arrived in Guiyang, we did not contact the people of the Guiyang Tiandaomen Branch, but chartered two cars to go to Shuicheng.
At this time, after Sasha's grandparents were sent to the underworld, under the leadership of Sasha, we walked from Jinmu Village to Wangjin Village overnight.
Wangjin Village is thirty miles away from Jinmu Village, although the mountain road is rugged and difficult, but it is nothing to our group, in the darkness of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, after walking for two hours, our group finally arrived at Wangjin Village.
Because the people from the Guiyang branch of the Tiandaomen were unwilling to get involved in this case, Qin Chuchu did not have the contact information of the people from the Guiyang branch of the Tiandaomen in the mission description given to me.
However, the authorities have set up a search and rescue headquarters, and special personnel remain in Wangjinzhai to direct the villagers of Wangjinzhai and some soldiers sent by nearby troops to search for the whereabouts of the missing people in the mountains of Wangjinzhai.
According to the mission description given to me by Qin Chuchu, the main members of the search and rescue headquarters established by the official are composed of the local official person in charge and the respected old people in Wangjin Village, and all the search and rescue operations are commanded by those respected old people in Wangjin Village.
The office of this temporarily established search and rescue command is located in the school in Wangjinzhai, which is where Du Jiahui, the teacher who has been teaching in Wangjinzhai for eight years, works.
Many people live in houses made of wood or bamboo, but this school is the only school in Wangjin Village that is built of bricks and concrete.
So after Sasha brought us to Wangjinzhai, we quickly found the school in Wangjinzhai.
Originally, I thought that it was so late, and the people in the village and the search and rescue headquarters were all asleep, but when we came to the front of the school, we saw that the lights in the school were still on, and people would enter and exit the school from time to time.
When we suddenly came to the school in the middle of the night, two villagers from Wangjinzhai immediately greeted us and asked about our identity.
When I told the two villagers that we were sent by a special department above, the two villagers immediately led us into the school in a very polite manner.
The official person in charge of Shuicheng County was talking to an old man with silver hair and good spirits in an office at the school.
After the two villagers led us to the office, the official person in charge and the old man who was in good spirits immediately stood up and greeted us politely.
"Are you Comrade Jiang? I just received a notice this morning that a comrade Jiang from the special department would be sent to help us find those missing people, but I didn't expect you to come so soon! ”
"My surname is Niu, and I am the person in charge of this temporary search and rescue headquarters, so you can call me Lao Niu!"
As I spoke, the person in charge surnamed Niu took the initiative to extend his right hand to me.
The official person in charge surnamed Niu looks simple, and he hasn't rested so late, which shows that he is a very good official.
At this thought, I stretched out my right hand and shook it with Lao Niu's right hand.
"Hello Lao Niu, I'm Jiang Yi, and several of them are with me!"
Because the above only informed Lao Niu that he had sent me alone, but at this moment we had several people, so I had to explain it to Lao Niu.
And after listening to my explanation, Lao Niu's face showed a look of joy at that time.
"It's been four days and four nights, and we haven't found anyone yet! It's great that you're here! ”
While talking, Lao Niu politely asked us to sit down, and asked someone to bring us tea and water, and prepare something to eat.
After explaining to the two villagers, Lao Niu took the initiative to introduce us to the identity of the old man in the room.
"This old man Yong is a member of the Yi nationality, and in the entire Wangjin Village and even several nearby villages, his old man is the most respected person!"
After hearing Lao Niu's introduction, several of us stood up from our seats again and greeted Mr. Yong very politely.
But I feel a little strange, since this old man Yong is from the Yi nationality, why does he have the surname Yong?
You must know that the surname Yong is derived from the surname Ji, and the Zhou family of the three major families of Tiandaomen is of the same origin, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for the Yi people to have this surname.
As a history student, I have studied the major surnames that have been passed down by us Chinese for thousands of years, and I am very clear about this.
In view of this, I asked this old man Yong directly.
"Old man, I have a question I want to ask you!" I asked Old Man Yong politely.
Old Man Yong, who was full of silver hair but was very energetic, nodded, and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, just ask, I know everything, and I have no end to it!" ”
Seeing this, I said directly: "As far as I know, there is no surname Yong in the surname of the Yi people, and the vast majority of people with the surname Yong are Han people, so I am very curious about your old man's surname!" ”
After hearing my words, Old Man Yong smiled slightly and gave me a thumbs up.
Then Old Man Yong explained: "Comrade Xiao Jiang is a learned person! Our Yong surname is the surname given by the emperor at that time more than a thousand years ago, the ancestors of our Yong family made great achievements! ”
And after hearing Old Man Yong's explanation, I understood the reason.
It seems that the ancestor of this old man Yong was a very remarkable figure, and he was valued by the emperor at that time, and gave him a very typical Han surname, intending to sinicize him and his family, so that he forgot his identity as a Yi person.
This has happened many times in history.
Just like the ancestors of the Ma family in the northwest, they were actually Qiang people, but they were given the surname Ma by the emperor at that time, and after being granted a certain official position, they were gradually sinicized.
For the current Ma family, they have already thoroughly regarded themselves as Han people.
But I don't know why, although the surname given by the emperor has been handed down, the people of the old man Yong's clan have not been sinicized.
And the ancestors have such amazing characters, but the descendants are still in this remote and poor village, it seems that something must have happened to the ancestors of Old Man Yong!
As a student of the Department of History, I basically know a lot about the generals who have made great achievements in history, but among those generals, there doesn't seem to be a single surname Yong.
As soon as I thought of this, I asked the old man Yong: "Dare to ask the old man, what is the name of the ancestor of your Yong family who has made great achievements?" ”
Seeing that I asked the name of the ancestor of their Yong family, the old man Yong's face showed a look of pride, and then he said with full anger: "The ancestor of our Yong family was given the name Yonglei by the emperor at that time!" ”
With my understanding of the ancient famous generals who have made great achievements in history, there is no one named Yonglei!
To put it bluntly, this Yong Lei is an unknown person, and he has made great achievements as Old Man Yong said.
Could it be that this Yong Lei is the same as that flying corpse Wu Ziyang, and he is also a boastful person?
Thinking of this, I broke the sand pot and asked the old man Yong: "I don't know what kind of military exploits the ancestor of your Yong family has made?" Only then did the emperor give him the surname and first name of the Han nationality! ”
Hearing my question, Old Man Yong proudly stood tall and replied loudly: "More than a thousand years ago, Xie An defeated Fu Jian's 800,000 people with 80,000 people!" And in that battle, Yonglei, the ancestor of our Yong family, led 5,000 soldiers under him to kill more than 200,000 enemy troops! ”
"It can be said that the reason why we were able to win that battle back then has a very great relationship with our Yong family's ancestor Yonglei!"
