Chapter 13 The Origin of the Surname
I was exhausted, but I fell asleep in a daze. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info tossed in the middle of the night, and it was already noon when I woke up.
My stomach was gurgling, and I wondered if the sound of my stomach was beating to wake me up.
A smell seduced the worms in my stomach. I followed the smell and walked out. Dashan and Qiangzi had already woken up, and at this time the two were gobbling things into their mouths at the dinner table.
I walked over, and I didn't care if I hadn't brushed my teeth or anything, so I just ripped off a fried chicken leg and put it in my mouth. Hadron muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, and then gave me a place. At this time, he had chicken legs in one hand and pig's feet in the other, and two eggs stuffed in his mouth, which looked quite funny.
We didn't have much nonsense, so we just ate and drank nonsense, and after sweeping away all the food on the table, we let out a sigh of relief and burped contentedly.
After I was full, I rubbed my stomach and looked at the pig's feet with some nostalgia at the few mouthfuls of meat left on the table, and then got up to move my body to soothe my stomach when Dashan stopped me.
He said that Grandpa Li was already waiting for me outside. It was only then that I remembered that it seemed that Grandpa Li had come back last night, and that he had told me to go see him when I got up.
At this time, I hurriedly wiped my face with a cloth, washed off my mouth full of oil and the food residue in my hand, and walked outside.
The weather was good at this time, and Grandpa Li was half-lying on a bed and chair with his eyes closed. The old man's ears were very sharp, and he could hear the slight sound of me walking.
As soon as I got closer, I said, "Coming?" Let's sit down and have a cup of tea. ”
I am very sensible, hurriedly boil water to make tea, after the water boils, rinse the tea set, put the tea leaves, warm the cup, after a series of actions, a few cups of turquoise tea are placed on the coffee table.
Grandpa Li took a sip slowly, and nodded as a compliment. I also drank a few glasses to get rid of the grease of the food I just had.
"Have you ever incensed your grandmother?"
When I talked about my grandmother, my face turned pale, and I handed the letter to Grandpa Li, saying, "I came back to find out, what is going on with this letter?" Grandpa Li, do you know? ”
Grandpa Li didn't take the letter, but sighed slightly and said, "I sent this letter!" I'm not sure if you'll ever receive it, but if you move or leave in the past few years, I'm afraid this letter will really be lost. ”
This letter turned out to be sent by Grandpa Li? Does he know the contents of the letter? Is it true or false?
I finally found someone who might answer my questions after a series of questions, and hurriedly urged Grandpa Li to answer.
"Your grandmother left this letter for you when she was dying, do you think it will be a joke with you?" Grandpa Li said dissatisfiedly: "You chose to come back, but you actually believe this letter, don't you?" ”
"Thirty limits! You who remember your family are not destined to live past the age of thirty! If you leave it alone, your kid will die in a few years at most! ”
Grandpa Li's words shook me like a thunderbolt from the blue. I thought I would be prepared, but when it was confirmed that I would not live to be thirty years old, I still had a panicked feeling.
Subconsciously, I asked, "You're not kidding me?" ”
"I hope it's a joke, too, but your grandfather and your father tell me that this is not a joke! It's fate! You remember the fate of your home! ”
Grandpa Li's solemn expression made me more and more desperate, and when I heard the word fate, I smiled bitterly, "Fate? Hehe, what a fate, I don't know what Grandpa Li is doing when he comes back to me? Tell me if I can't find a woman to breed before the age of thirty? ”
"Being able to laugh shows that your kid's psychological quality is okay." Grandpa Li said a compliment that was not a compliment, "But you guessed wrong." ”
"If you know that you won't live to be thirty years old and still marry someone, that's harming someone's daughter. Just look at your mother, your father ran away not long after he died. Your grandmother too, the child who has worked hard to pull the big one will eventually have to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person, and there is no greater pain in life than this......"
Grandpa Li seemed to fall into the memory all of a sudden, and stopped talking.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, "But you kid doesn't know whether it's lucky or unlucky, the fate of the Yi family will be over in your generation." ”
I'm going to hang up, and of course the fate of this Yijia will be broken! With my identity as a boy, I guarantee that there will not be a trace of blood left in the world, who else can be harmed by this damn thirty limits?
"Ten generations of accumulation in one day! Whether you succeed or not depends on your own creation! ”
I haven't seen you for so long, I forgot, Grandpa Li's favorite thing is to play dumb riddles, just like now, I don't understand what he said at all, he understands it alone, this is also called chatting?
Grandpa Li said, "Do you know who your ancestors are?" ”
I shook my head and said I didn't know, unless my ancestors had property to keep for themselves, I really didn't have the time to do it.
"Actually, the surname Yi was changed later by your Yi family, and the surname is Dongfang." After listening to this, I was surprised and said, "It turns out that the predecessor of the surname Yi is Dongfang, so I should be called Dongfang Tang." Grandpa Li replied: "Of course, it can be said that in fact, when your ancestors changed their surname to Yi, their name was taken as Yidongfang, which means not to forget their ancestral surname Dongfang." I nodded thoughtfully. Then Grandpa Li continued: "Dongfang is an ancient surname. As early as ancient times, the ancient emperor Fuxi founded Bagua, and his descendant Sun Zhong was in charge of the order of Qingyang in the East. According to ancient records, when he was born, he was born out of an earthquake and was the owner of the east, that is, according to the Bagua map, it was estimated that he was in the earthquake position, and the earthquake position was expressed as "Dongfang", so he took "Dongfang" as his surname. In the Tang Dynasty, the Dongfang surname was one of the major surnames in Pingyuan County. There are many oriental names in history, as well as Dongfang Qiu, Dongfang Xian, etc. Dongfang Qiu was a historian and poet in the Tang Dynasty, and Dongfang Xian was a literary scholar in the Tang Dynasty and one of the eighteen scholars of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, the Dongfang clan was hard to find......"
"Grandpa Li, please stop, I don't want to hear you popularize the history of my family, can you explain it more simply?"
Grandpa Li snorted coldly and said, "These are basic common sense, what I want to tell you is a celebrity in your ancestor!" During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the famous writer Dongfang Shuo! ”
Dongfang Shuo? I'm familiar with this name, I seem to have seen a paragraph when I watched Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a few days ago.
Dongfang Shuo's original surname is Zhang, is the descendant of Taihao Fuxi's descendant Shao Haozi Zhang Hui, just because he was born less than three days, his mother died of illness, and his father has been dead for many days, the neighbor named "Dongfang Shuo" according to the dawn of Dongfang when he was born. And when he grew up, he became famous, and Dongfang as a surname was consolidated again. Dongfang Shuo is a native of Shentou Town, Lingxian County, Shandong Province. , so to speak, my ancestor is still a big man in Shandong?
"This is not the point, the point is that have you ever understood Dongfang Shuo?"
The specifics are not very clear, it seems to be for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a haiyou, that is, the so-called emperor's royal artist. But does this have anything to do with my family's thirty limit?
Grandpa Li said slowly while drinking tea: "The records in the history books are indeed correct, but the biggest impression of people in the rivers and lakes of him is believed to be none other than the legendary 'immortal wine'."
I also remember this allusion, the legend said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that there were several buckets of fine wine on Jun Mountain, and if you can drink it, you can become a god without dying. He lived in fast for seven days, and sent Luan Ba to take dozens of boys and girls to the mountain to beg for it, and sure enough, he got the immortal wine, and brought it back to Emperor Wu to drink. Before Emperor Wu drank it, Dongfang Shuo secretly drank it all. So Emperor Wu was furious and ordered Dongfang Shuo to be beheaded. Dongfang Shuo said: "If the wine has a miracle, it is useless for you to kill me, I will not die; If there is no miracle, this wine is a waste product, then Weichen drinks a jar of wine to test it for His Majesty, no matter how you think about it, it is all meritorious. Emperor Wu thought for a while and understood the truth, so he let him go with a smile.
"What would you think if I told you that this is not a legend but a reality?"
Burst!
A mouthful of hot tea just went down my throat and squirted out, and I looked at Grandpa Li with an incredulous expression.
Although many incredible things have happened one after another since I returned to the old village, atheism has been deeply imprinted in my heart after years of scientific education. Now Grandpa Li, who has always respected me, told me that ancient myths really happened, and this really makes me unacceptable.
"Dongfang Shuo, the year of birth and death is unknown, no one knows whether he died or really drank immortal wine and became an immortal, this is impossible to verify. But the ancestors of your Oriental family did have someone who drank the legendary immortal wine! And this is also the origin of the 30 limits of your Oriental family! ”
The more I listened, the more mysterious I felt, but it was not good to interrupt Grandpa Li's words, so I could only hope that he could get into the topic quickly.
Waiting left and right, Grandpa Li just didn't mean to speak, just silently tasted tea. In the end, I couldn't hold it anymore and asked him what he meant by not saying anything halfway through.
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Li spread his hands and said, "I'm done, I didn't leave half of it, this is all I know!" The reason why your family did not live to be thirty years old is because one of the ancestors drank immortal wine! ”
If this person in front of me wasn't an elder, and I had beaten him again, I really wanted to slap him to death! But the reality is that even if I have thousands of doubts in my heart, I can only wait for his old man to drink tea like a grandson, hoping that his old man can be merciful to solve my doubts.
It took more than half a day to grind, and I changed several pots of tea alone, but Grandpa Li talked about it and asked me a lot of things outside, but he didn't tell me clearly about the 30 limit. It wasn't until the cold wind blew and the sky outside darkened that I realized it was almost evening.
"The demonic wind is protruding, and the evil guest is coming! Since you've all been here for so long, why don't you come out and say hello? ”
Grandpa Li's voice was unprecedentedly cold, and even made me feel strange.
Just as I could figure out what he meant, several figures walked out from behind me!
