Chapter 1696: Finding a Needle in a Haystack
"Don't I understand too much?" Lin Tian tilted his head slightly, looking at Wang Wanxi, looking confused.
Wang Wanxi didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Is your grandfather's name Hang Yuanming?"
Lin Tian nodded, still puzzled: "Yes." ”
The last time she met Jiang Xiuying, she asked her grandfather's name, and she was in the Yun family at the time, so it was not strange for Wang Wanxi to know the name, but Lin Tian didn't understand why Aunt Wang asked so.
"We went to the village where you lived, and Hang Yuanming is not from that village, do you know that?" Wang Wanxi asked again.
Lin Tian shook his head and frowned, "I don't know, grandpa is quite famous in the village, so I never thought about it." "There is also more than one foreign surname in the village.
"When we asked about your grandfather, we could tell from the tone of the villagers that he was indeed quite respected, and as an outsider in the village, he was able to do this because of his medical skills, and he had helped the villagers, so the villagers respected him. Wang Wanxi said the news she had found.
"However, the villagers don't know where your grandfather is from, more than ten years ago, when you were still in infancy, Hang Yuanming carried you on his back and appeared outside the village. At that time, he was also sixty years old, and the villagers saw that it was not easy for him, so they let him stay in the village. ”
"The villagers are kind and don't care about Hang Yuanming's origins, so they didn't ask much, and you and your grandfather have lived in the village since then. When Hang Yuanming appeared behind your back, you didn't have a name yet, and later the old village chief said that for the convenience of your future study, let you follow the surname of the people in the village. ”
"Because it's a village surnamed Lin, your surname is Lin. Speaking of this, Wang Wanxi paused and looked at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian's expression changed, and there were some things that Wang Wanxi said, he knew, but there were some that he didn't know. He knew the reason why his surname was Lin, and it was indeed as Wang Wanxi said, but he didn't know how his grandfather appeared in Lin Village in the first place.
The name of that village is Lin Village, because the local people are surnamed Lin, and the villagers have a common genealogy and ancestral hall.
However, after listening to Wang Wanxi's words, Lin Tian still couldn't get any useful information, and he still didn't know his life experience.
As if seeing Lin Tian's doubts, Wang Wanxi continued: "I got something from the old village chief......
As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his waist, and then handed it to Lin Tian, Lin Tian was puzzled, and reached out to take it, the cloth bag was new, but when Lin Tian opened it, he found that it contained an old object.
The old object was also a piece of cloth, Lin Tian unfolded it carefully, this cloth was really a little old, and he was afraid that if he used a little more force, he might damage it.
"It's a towel that was wrapped around you more than a decade ago. Wang Wanxi explained.
"What does Aunt Wang mean is that this towel was wrapped around me when my grandfather appeared on my back?" Lin Tian asked strangely.
"That's right, the towel you had on you in the first place. Wang Wanxi said with certainty.
Lin Tian took a few closer glances at the towel and frowned: "After Grandpa died, I also investigated my own background and asked the old village chief, but at that time he didn't say that he kept these things. ”
He was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this towel, but he really couldn't think of a reason for Wang Wanxi's fraud, besides, what is the value of a towel used when he was a child worth fake?
Wang Wanxi naturally saw Lin Tian's doubts, and she explained again: "As far as I know, the old village chief is very old, especially in the past few years, his memory has deteriorated severely, and sometimes there is even Alzheimer's. ”
He also said that he kept these things on a whim, and he was afraid that they would be useful in the future, but he didn't expect them to be really useful. Wang Wanxi smiled, quite happy.
"Useful?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, and was even more confused: "An old towel, what's the use?"
Wang Wanxi smiled without saying a word, reached out and took the towel from Lin Tian's hand, then turned up a corner and put it in front of Lin Tian's eyes: "Look at it, is there a mark here?"
After being reminded by Wang Wanxi, Lin Tian took a closer look, it seemed that there was really such a mark, before he thought it was the print of the towel, and more than ten years have passed, the print of the towel is blurred, who cares about a vague pattern.
"What kind of mark is this? Could it be the family emblem of which family?" Lin Tian suddenly thought in his heart, could it be that he was the bloodline of a big family that had been outcast? Of course, he himself felt that this idea was not very reliable.
"I know what you're thinking, it's not the coat of arms of some big family, but it represents something definitely no worse than those big families. Wang Wanxi looked at him with a funny expression, shook his head, and broke his illusion: "This is the sign of Xinghai Hospital!"
"Xinghai Hospital, why does it sound so familiar?" Lin Tian's expression changed for a while, and he suddenly understood why he was so familiar with this name.
"Dean Miao, I remember, Dean Miao is the director of the Xikou City Branch of Xinghai Hospital, is the Xinghai Hospital you are talking about the same hospital as it?" Lin Tian asked uncertainly, because he was really not sure, after all, it was the hospital more than ten years ago.
Wang Wanxi nodded and gave him a definite answer: "You're right, they are the same hospital, and this towel is from Xinghai Hospital." ”
"In other words, it is very likely that I will be born in Xinghai Hospital?" Lin Tian said in surprise.
"It can only be said that there is this possibility, my investigation has only reached this step so far, but it will be difficult later, there are countless baby boys born in Xinghai Hospital eighteen years ago, plus is your exact age eighteen years old? Maybe the real age is seventeen years old?"
"This is to expand the number of years of screening, the computer and network were not so developed at that time, and some data files were still paper, and trying to find a baby boy who matched you was equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack. This is provided that the archival data is not lost. ”
Wang Wanxi paid attention to Lin Tian's expression, and tried her best to analyze it in a soothing tone, in fact, after analyzing it like this, anyone felt disappointed.
Lin Tian just smiled faintly and said, "Aunt Wang also said that one was missing, in case this towel was just wrapped around me by mistake, and I was not really born in Xinghai Hospital, then all the investigation will be in vain." ”
"It's good that you can understand, and I'm relieved, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to see it before. Wang Wanxi saw that Lin Tian was not disappointed or irritable, but surprisingly calm, and admired in her heart that Lin Tian had a mentality beyond this age.
"I still want to thank Aunt Wang for everything she has done for me, no matter what the result is, I can accept it, anyway, it has been so many years. Besides, I'm not alone now, I have Aunt Wang, Xiaotian, Miss, Miss, Miss, and many friends, my life is not gray. ”
Lin Tian smiled slightly, these words came from the heart.
