Chapter 114: No such person
Xiuning is located in the hinterland of southern Anhui, bordering Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces. The beautiful Xin'an River www.biquge.info flows from Xiuning to the Qiantang River from Xiuning to the Qiantang River. Haiyang Town is the largest market town in Xiuning. After Yu Yiping took Mo Fei to say goodbye to Abbot Shi Hui, he rushed to Xiuning in three days.
It is difficult to find someone who has been away from home for more than 20 years. But it's not impossible. Yu Yiping thought of visiting the ancestral hall of the Fang family, and when he inquired, the Fang family was still a famous family in Haiyang Town, Xiuning. It was only natural to find the Fang Clan's ancestral hall.
The Fang family also had an elderly patriarch who was taking care of clan affairs in the ancestral hall, and as soon as he heard that Yu Yiping was going to inquire about a descendant of their Fang family who had not been heard from for a long time, the patriarch enthusiastically set up a bamboo ladder to climb up to the top pillar of the ancestral hall, and took down a stack of dusty Fang family genealogy from there.
"What's the name of the person you're looking for?" The old patriarch put on reading glasses and dusted off the ashes on the genealogy.
"It's called Fang Tianyou, the weather is the sky, and the word bless is blessed."
The patriarch slowly flipped through the genealogy, looking for a person named "Fang Tianyou" from the first year of the Republic of China. Yu Yiping and Mo Fei stood aside and waited patiently, and after about half an hour, the patriarch raised a genealogy in his hand.
"There is a man named Fang Tianyou, born in the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, and now he is in his teens, and he is from Ao Shang Village, Haiyang Town."
"Patriarch, it's not this, the Fang Tianyou we are looking for is about forty years old, and he should have been born before the Republic of China."
"Before the Republic of China, then I'll look for it again." The patriarch was very patient, and went to find another book.
"There is another one named Fang Tianyou, who was born in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi and died in the twenty-third year of the Republic of China." The patriarch searched for a long time and found another one named "Fang Tianyou".
"Surely not that, right?" The patriarch's reading glasses slipped to the bridge of his nose, and his two eyes looked at Yu Yiping very seriously, and they asked.
"That's definitely not it, Grandpa Patriarch, why don't we find it ourselves?" Yu Yiping was a little unrelenting, although the patriarch had been looking for so long, and he and Mo Fei had been watching from the side, he was still afraid that the patriarch would miss something.
"Alright! Young man, look for yourselves, I'm tired too, rest. “
Several large genealogies were turned page by page in the hands of two people, time passed quickly, and before the sun set, the genealogy in their hands was finished.
Seeing the two young men close the genealogy without finding anything, the patriarch came over to comfort them.
"Did you get the name wrong? Youngster! “
"No, maybe he didn't say his real name at all!" Yu Yiping stood up and patted the dust on his hands.
"Are there any other clues?" The patriarch asked every detail.
"I only know that he left Xiuning around ten years ago in the Republic of China."
"It's hard to find, the name is not right, there are too many descendants of the Fang family who have left Xiuning in recent years, it can be said that there are all over the country, if you know the name is easy to find, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack!" The patriarch stroked his flowing beard and sighed softly.
"Patriarch, I'm sorry to trouble you for an afternoon." Yu Yiping has no hope of finding this "Fang Tianyou" in Xiuning, maybe he is not from Xiuning Haiyang Town at all.
If a person wants to deliberately conceal his past, you can't know where he came from, Xiuning may be a place he is familiar with, and he uses it to cover up his identity. What is his name exactly? Or is he really called "Fang Tianyou", but he is not from Xiuning Haiyang?
Yu Yiping didn't know where to find this "Fang Tianyou" next.
