With a bitter ploy, the plan was successful, but where we lived became a problem, because I found that there was no one in the village.

Ghost village?

My first reaction was this, and it was getting late, and that day I yelled to go back to the camp first, but if I really went back to the camp first, then the plan between me and Bai Yun would be completely ruined, and just when I was at a loss, an old man suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village.

The old man's surname is Yan, he is more than eighty years old, he is the only one in this Xiaying Village, and the last left-behind old man, Uncle Yan said that his daughter and son have also left here with their families to work in the town under the mountain, and they will come back to see it during the New Year's Festival, mainly to give the ancestors a pillar of incense, and take a look at him by the way.

After dinner, that day actually pulled Uncle Yan to tell him the story of the village, this action surprised me, after Bai Yun bandaged my wound, I also sat down, the three of us surrounded Uncle Yan, just like the feeling of three children listening to the story around Grandpa, this feeling is very warm.

"Grandpa, my name is Yan Tian, and your surname is Yan, will we be a family five hundred years ago?" This day showed another side of him, which made me lose my previous dislike for him, but added a little bit of liking.

Uncle Yan touched his head, as if the elders loved the juniors, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, "We have the same surname, which is fate, today you came to me and lived in my house, it is also fate, I am alone all day and no one has said a word to me, today you are here, I am happy." ”

I asked Bai Yun to pour two glasses of water and bring them over, one for Uncle Yan, and one for Tian'er, because I saw that he hadn't drunk water after eating, Tian'er was stunned at first, and then saw that I had no malicious intent, and he himself was indeed thirsty, so he took it and said thank you, of course, this thank you was also extremely blunt.

After watching him finish drinking the water, I took the cup back and handed it to Bai Yun, and then asked Uncle Yan why there was no one here and why they all left.

Uncle Yan looked at the three of us and sighed deeply, with a sad look that made people feel distressed.

"Ah, what a sin."

"Iniquity?"

Bai Yunmian and I looked at each other, and it seemed that there was a story here.

The fourth brother suddenly pushed the door in, and the three of us were startled, he saw Tian'er and me sitting in a row with Baiyun, listening to stories in a row of peaceful atmospheres, and the suspicion and shock on that face really made me want to laugh.

"Oh my God, the boss said to let you sleep here tonight."

That day was excited, "No problem. ”

"You're alright?" The fourth brother is obviously not suitable for the current naïve and childish day.

Tian'er shook her hand, "It's okay, I'll sleep here tonight, and you can take care of the fourth brother over there,"

The fourth brother was stunned for a moment, and nodded habitually, "Then it's decided, go to bed early, and we'll leave tomorrow." ”

"I know, fourth brother, you should rest early."

The fourth brother didn't say anything, just nodded, and then looked at us again, also with a puzzled face, closed the door, and after he left, the smile on Tian'er's face froze significantly, but it was only an instant, when he turned his head, there was still that innocent smile on his face.

Uncle Yan asked us who we had just come in and knew him, Tian'er looked at us lightly and said, "His surname is Li, and he is the fourth oldest among us, so I call him Fourth Brother, uncle, why are you asking this?" ”

Uncle Yan's face didn't become very good, he looked at me, and suddenly asked me: "You belong to the same clan as him, don't you know him?" ”

I chuckled in my heart, and said in my heart that it was the same sect, how could this be possible, besides, how did this old man who stayed at home in the deep mountains know, obviously talking nonsense,

"Uncle, are you kidding, I don't know him very well, I've only known him for a few days, besides, didn't I say it this day, his surname is Li, and my surname is Xiao."

Uncle Yan smiled, shook his head, and looked disapproving, "You can say whatever your surname is, I also said that my surname is Huang, you children, treat my old man as a fool, right?" ”

As soon as I heard it, this old man didn't want to stay at home, he was very naughty.

"Uncle, my real surname is Xiao, and our family is in Beijing."

Uncle Yan's face changed slightly, "Beijing Xiao family? ”

I said, "Well, my grandfather was born in Beijing when he was a child, and our family has lived in Beijing since then. ”

Uncle Yan smiled, looked at Tian'er, and then looked at me, "I have a fate with your Xiao family, more than 50 years, just after liberation, a few young people came to the village, lived here for more than half a year, and then left." ”

"Fifty years?" That day seemed to be very concerned, "Grandpa, how do you remember it so clearly?" ”

Uncle Yan gently touched Tian'er's head, it was very caring, which made me a little jealous, this kind of love from the elders in the family, I have never felt it, and Tian'er, the innocence shown in the face of Uncle Yan is not pretended.

"At that time, I had just gotten married, and the village was not as depressed as it is now, there were many people, and the streets of the village were full of children, and one day at noon, seven young people of the same age came outside, and one of them was more handsome than the other, and one of them was even more elegant and graceful."

I began to rummage in my heart about fifty years ago, but in our Xiao family's notes and related materials, it seems that fifty years ago was deliberately omitted.

Tian'er listened very carefully and asked: "Seven people of the same age, they are all elegant and extraordinary, they are still from the capital at that time, is it them?" “

"Tian'er, who do you say?" I asked.

That day didn't seem to be so hostile to me anymore, thought about it, and said, "The seven sons of the Lan family. ”

"The Lan family?" Bai Yun and I spoke in unison.

Bai Yun hadn't spoken since just now, and when he heard the Lan family at this moment, he immediately came over, "Tian'er, the Lan family you are talking about is the Lan family of the Capital Defense Division." ”

Tian'er nodded and said: "Of course, the Lan family was a mysterious family that suddenly rose in the late Qing Dynasty, and five years later, the Qing Emperor abdicated, and they also disappeared, and the whole family didn't know where they went, and their family had seven sons at that time, one of whom was learning art from Master Liu." ”

After hearing this, Uncle Yan asked him, "It's a singer in Tsing Yi, right?" ”

Tian'er nodded, "That's right, it's not just Tsing Yi, his sword and horse are also very good, and he is under Master Liu." ”

I used these clues to turn on the brain screening mode, but I found nothing.

Bai Yun seemed to think of something, he looked at me, I nodded at him slightly, and then he seemed to have received permission, cautiously sat down next to Uncle Yan, and asked, "After these seven people came, did anything strange happen in the village?" (To be continued.) )
