Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Blood Word Appears Again
Zhang Zhen looked at Sunan and nodded, and then smiled: "I thought I would run for nothing today, and now more than 20 years have passed." ”
Sunan looked at Zhang Xin, only to see that his face was also a little wrinkled, his eyes were much more vicissitudes than before, and his figure remained good, unlike himself with a big belly, and then walked over and patted Zhang Xin's shoulder and said: "Yes, time flies, you and I are old, let me introduce you, this is my wife, called Gongsun Ying'er." Then he pointed to his wife next to him.
Zhang Zhen looked at Gongsun Ying'er, although she was in her forties, she was in good shape, with light makeup on her face, a goose egg face, her eyes were a little big, but she didn't look old, and she looked like she was in her thirties. Then Zhang Zhen spoke: "Hello sister-in-law! Brother Nan is so blessed to get such a beauty as his sister-in-law. ”
Gongsun Ying'er's face suddenly turned red, looking a little shy, and then said softly: "What kind of beauty, they are all old, old!" ”
Sunan smiled, smiled very happily, his face became rounder, and then said: "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, I can speak!" You used to feel like a piece of wood. ”
When Zhang Zhen heard this, he laughed, and at the same time, Sunan also laughed together, and then said: "People, they will always grow and change!" ”
Gongsun Ying'er looked at the two of them, then pulled Sunan's arm and said, "Okay, hurry up and go into the house, you two plan to talk at the gate until dawn?" ”
Sunan had a look of shame on his face, and then said to Zhang Xin: "Ying'er is right, just thinking about talking, I forgot that I was still at the gate!" ”
Then Sunan opened the door, and the three of them walked into the house, and then turned on the lights. Enter the door is the living room, the living room is quite wide, estimated to be seventy or eighty square meters. There is a coffee table in the middle, and there is a sofa around the coffee table. A huge chandelier hangs on the ceiling in the middle, and the chandelier is surrounded by a totem with the surname Su. On the left is a staircase leading to the second floor, and on the right are two blue and white porcelains more than one person high. On the wall in the middle hangs a painting of many horses galloping, and on the right side is written four large characters: "Ten thousand horses galloping." ”
Zhang Zhen looked around and said: "Brother Nan, you really know how to enjoy it, to build such a villa, it is still on the edge of the West Lake." ”
Sunan turned to Zhang Zhen and smiled: "Half a lifetime, it's time to enjoy it, go, go and sit on the sofa." ”
Then Zhang Zhen and Sunan sat on both sides of the coffee table facing each other, Gongsun Yinger boiled water and soaked a pot of West Lake Longjing, poured a cup for each of them, and sat down next to Sunan. Then he said: "Brother Zhen, come and try the West Lake Longjing, this is the best West Lake Longjing, the taste is very good!" ”
Zhang Zhen held the cup and said, "Okay! Then he took a sip and said, "Good tea!" It's really different from the tea in Guizhou. ”
Sunan's restlessness a few days ago was swept away, and today he was particularly happy, and said to Zhang Xin: "How long has Brother Cheng been here?" Have you eaten? ”
Zhang Zhen touched his stomach, and said with some embarrassment on his face: "Not long after I first came, I see that you are not at home and are going to live somewhere else first, and I will come to you tomorrow." I haven't eaten yet, and I'm in a hurry all the way! ”
Sunan patted his stomach and said, "Then we came back just in time, and when we get older, we will develop the habit of visiting Su Causeway every day." Ying'er went to the kitchen to get some food, I'm going to get drunk with my brother tonight! Gongsun Ying'er nodded and got up and went to the kitchen.
Zhang Xin took another sip of tea, and said with some doubts in his eyes: "Brother Nan, just the two of you in such a big house?" Didn't live next to the people? I didn't see Brother Jin and Brother Ming either. ”
Sunan put down the cup in his hand and said, "Three people live, my son has recently gone out to play, and Ying'er and I are the only ones left." Our family now lives separately, and it is all based on preference, and we will only discuss things together when there are things. ”
Zhang Zhen looked surprised, and said in his heart: "The difference between the Su family and my Zhang family is really big!" Then he said: "Your Su family is really amazing, I thought that the huge family would live in a big courtyard!" ”
Sunan had a little strangeness in his eyes, as if he was recalling something, and took a sip of tea from the cup on the coffee table and said: "Originally, everyone did live in the Su family's compound, and it wasn't until the last time they came back from the CD that everyone lived separately." Now the patriarch lives in the compound. ”
Zhang Zhen was shocked again: "Why is this? ”
Sunan recalled that day when he came back from CD, he had just walked into the Su family's compound. There were nearly 100 men, women, and children sitting in the courtyard, and the whole family was present, as if they were waiting for him to come back alone. Seeing this situation, Sunan stood outside the gate in shock, and muttered in his heart: "Is there something big going on in the Su family?" ”
Su Jin saw Sunan standing motionless outside the door, his eyes were a little dull, and then he ran over, shook his arm and said, "Brother Nan, are you back?" The patriarch knew that you were home today, so he called everyone in the compound, saying that there was something important to announce, and that the Su family must be present, and no one should be missing. ”
Shaken by Su Jin like this, Sunan came back to his senses and looked at Su Jin and said, "Is something wrong?" ”
Su Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know, Brother Nan hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!" ”
Then the two walked into the compound, the courtyard is a courtyard house, enter from the gate, there are more than ten steps of ladder opposite, there is an ancient building above the ladder, and there is a plaque hanging on the upper floor, on which are written four big characters: "Su's ancestral hall." "There are two three-storey houses on the left side of the shrine, and there is a road in the middle, and from the middle of the road, there are several houses in them. The right side is the same as the left side, which is also two houses and a road in the middle. It seems that the two sides are symmetrical, and the central axis of this compound is from the middle of the gate to the middle of the ancestral hall, and the whole compound is facing north and south.
The two of them slowly walked into the crowd, and the patriarch of the Su family stood on the stairs outside the ancestral hall, and then Su Jin said to the patriarch on the stairs: "Patriarch, Brother Nan is back!" ”
The patriarch of the Su family looked at Sunan with a solemn look in his eyes, and he was full of emotion in his heart, and then said: "Sunan is finally back, and the Su family has arrived." Listen, I have something important to announce now. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience talked about it, and it was noisy for a while. Seeing this, the patriarch hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me, don't make a noise, otherwise the clan rules will be dealt with!" Before the words fell, the audience was silent.
The patriarch clasped his hands, looked at the audience and said loudly: "From today on, everyone will move out of the Su family compound and choose another place of residence according to their own preferences, even if they leave Hangzhou, I can stay here." ”
A loud voice in the audience said in unison: "Patriarch, why is this? ”
The patriarch sighed again and said, "No way, for everyone's safety, for the sake of the family's continuation." ”
Sunan stood up, staring at the patriarch with both eyes, and said with some puzzlement in his eyes: "What happened to the patriarch?" Want everyone to move out? ”
The patriarch looked at Sunan who stood up, waved his hands, and motioned for him to sit down, Sunan sat down slowly, only to hear the patriarch say: "Because the blood word is in the world, the family is in danger, and the world is in danger!" ”
Su Jin was a little anxious and said: "Patriarch, you can be plain, don't beat around the bush!" ”
The patriarch sighed and said, "I asked you to go to Lishan before, and those words appeared again in the "Zhou Shuyin Fu" in the library building. ”
A voice from below said, "Patriarch, what words?" ”
The patriarch looked at the audience, his eyes were complicated, and he said in his heart: "I won't see such a lively scene in the future." Then he said: "Forbidden land, if you go, you will bring disaster to your family." I have checked my family history in the past few days and found that these words used to appear in that book. ”
Another voice in the audience said, "When?" ”
The patriarch looked at the people in the audience, his eyes were full of uneasiness, and said: "More than a thousand years ago, when Su Lei, the youngest patriarch of the family, entered Lishan with the patriarch of the Zhang family in Nanjing, this word appeared in this book. Then their group of thirty people was wiped out, and every few days someone in the clan gradually died, dying strangely, with a painful face, without a trace of blood on their bodies, all dried corpses, without a single scar on their bodies. ”
Later, Su Miao, the patriarch of the family, saw that the situation was not right, so he had to let everyone leave the Su family compound, and except for the people of his lineage, everyone else moved south to Hangzhou. When the people of the other veins left the compound, no one died. So let you leave the compound today, just to protect my Su family, we have already killed more than ten people in Lishan, and we can't die anymore! ”
The people in the audience instantly fell silent, no one spoke anymore, the words were like a curse, and then the patriarch's voice sounded again: "Give you a week, tomorrow I will go to Elder Su Jianjing to get money, and I will give you enough money for each family to leave." That's all for today, let's disperse. ”
The people in the compound gradually dispersed, and finally only Sunan was left, Sunan was full of doubts in his heart, his eyes were very puzzled, and he said in his heart: "Is that sentence really so effective?" I'll have to ask the patriarch to find out! ”
The patriarch watched as everyone slowly left, and then also walked down the steps and towards the road to the right. Seeing this, Sunan chased after him and shouted: "Patriarch, wait for me, I have a question for you!" ”
The patriarch turned his head to look at Sunan, his eyes were full of uneasiness, and he said with some guilt: "You come with me." ”
Then the two of them slowly walked towards the courtyard on the right, there was a square stone table in the middle of the courtyard on the right, and there were four stools around it, and the courtyard was surrounded by residences, three floors, and some evergreen were planted between the houses. Sunan followed the patriarch to the building on the left, then entered the room and closed the door.
The two sat on the stool, and the patriarch poured him a cup of tea, and then said, "Sunan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Sunan was puzzled: "What kind of book is that "Zhou Shu Yin Fu"? Is there bound to be an accident when that blood word appears? Isn't everyone okay now? ”
The patriarch took the teacup on the table, took a sip and said: "This book was obtained by the ancestor Su Qin in the unknown place, when the ancestor studied this book, combined the six countries, and admired the seal of the six countries, so that Qin did not dare to send a letter to Guguan for fifteen years." The fact that the ancestors went against the general trend of the world and did what they knew they could not do is enough to prove the magic of this book. ”
Sunan had never seen the history of the family, and he didn't know anything about it at all, his face was full of surprise, and he said with surprise in his eyes: "The ancestor is so majestic, what happened later?" ”
The patriarch shook his body and said: "Later, he was killed for the Yan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom in death, and since then, the family has also been implicated and almost wiped out. Later, the people of the clan fled west to Zhao with this book, and our clan has been able to continue to this day. ”
Sunan sighed and said, "The ancestor is also a strange person! I see! ”
The patriarch also sighed and said, "Yes! We can't reach the realm of our ancestors. Later, the family slowly revived and grew stronger, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the patriarch Su Lei led the family to the road of inverted fighting. He is the most talented person in the clan for thousands of years, at the age of twelve he studied the "Zhou Shu Yin Fu" in the library every day, and after six years, he came out of the library and realized the gossip palm, the unicorn cover. Then he shuttled through the tomb, and the family's wealth piled up in a few years. The Su family became one of the richest families at the time, alongside the Zhang family in Nanjing. ”
Sunan's eyes were full of admiration, and he secretly said in his heart: "Alas! There's no way I'm going to do that! Then he asked: "Later, I followed the Zhang family to Lishan, and what happened?" ”
The patriarch sighed and said, "Yes! No one expected it! Sunan, let's leave tomorrow, when the turmoil passes, the position of the patriarch will be passed on to you, Su Ming's kid is still a few points worse than you. ”
Sunan looked at the patriarch with both eyes, didn't know what to say for a while, and then said: "Take care of the patriarch!" Then he got up and walked out.
The next day, before Sunan woke up, he was woken up by his father Su Jianlin, he opened his eyes and looked at his father, only to see that his father's face was solemn, his eyes were full of uneasiness, and he said: "Dad, what's wrong?" ”
Su Jianlin looked at Sunan, and then said: "Su Jin is dead, the death is exactly the same as what Patriarch Su Jianxing said, it seems that the blood word is true, hurry up, let's leave today." ”
Sunan's eyes were full of tears, although Su Jin didn't go with them this time, but he also played from childhood to adulthood, and his heart was extremely painful, and he endured it for a few minutes, and finally cried.
