Chapter 565: The Origin of the Du Family
"Auntie?" Chen Ziyang didn't understand what was the difference between this title and the old man he shouted before, it was nothing more than an honorific title. Aunt or aunt, if you can't suffer a little loss, grandma can also scream, don't be so serious.
This old woman is really interesting, she is worthy of being the director of a mental hospital, it turns out that she is also a mental patient, and she seems to be the most powerful one.
Seeing that Chen Ziyang still didn't understand the meaning, the old woman continued: "The aunt I am talking about is actually not just a title, but a real relationship between you and me.
Haven't you been looking for clues about the Du family? Now I tell you, sitting in front of you is the last Du family, and I am your aunt, and the Du family is actually the Chen family. ”
If the old woman in front of him was the Du family, Chen Ziyang would still be acceptable, but he didn't understand what the last sentence meant. What is the Du family, which is actually the Chen family? What kind of logic is this, it is basically two things that are not next to each other.
Through the previous search, Chen Ziyang had a faint guess in his heart, he felt that there must be a deep holiday between the Du family and his fifth grandfather Chen Benzhong, and it seemed that there were also things interspersed with the Dragon Digging Society, so he was a little skeptical of what the old woman who claimed to be the Du family said.
Seeing the puzzled expression on Chen Ziyang's face, Mrs. Du smiled and continued, "I know you don't believe it, but you'll understand when I'm done." But before I go into the details of what happened, I need to come up with something to add credibility to what I'm saying.
"Civil Engineering Collection" is divided into soil collection, wood collection and engineering collection, and the soil collection is divided into four methods: looking, hearing, questioning, and cutting. Lookers, look at the mountains to know the shape of the dragon, looking for the dragon can be the eye; Smellers, eyes smell wood, nose smells soil, through the details of the mountains and rivers topography ......"
Chen Ziyang didn't listen to the rest of Mrs. Du's words, and his whole brain was now blank. Good guy, not only is his resume known now, but now even "Civil Engineering Collection" is rotten on the street? Can a person memorize it?
In addition to being shocked, Chen Ziyang already believed the words of the old woman in front of him who claimed to be the Du family. After the "Civil Engineering Collection" fell into the hands of the Chen family, it was not passed on, and it was buried in the soil for decades, and finally it was obtained by himself.
He just showed this book to Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai, and Chen Benzhong couldn't print this book all over the street. The most important point is that the old woman in front of her was reciting the "Civil Engineer's Records" word for word, and it was obvious that she had read the original book, not heard it from elsewhere.
"I'm a little shocked, isn't it, it seems that you really don't know anything about the Du family. It's no wonder, after all, your own grandfather is not Chen Benzhong. I ask you, do you know what the earliest name of the "Civil Works" was? ”
"It's the "Civil Engineering Collection", and the Gongji was added later."
"Silly boy, isn't the answer in your mouth? I ask you, what do you pronounce with a soil character and a wooden character? ”
"Tugamu...... Du Zi ...... "Although the weather was very hot at this time, Chen Ziyang couldn't help but shiver, and a cold feeling instantly spread all over his body, and every goosebump under his skin bulged.
Chen Ziyang has always felt that the Du family has something to do with him, which may be because of the cultivation of Taoism, which has given him some perceptual abilities. At this time, Chen Ziyang was already convinced of Mrs. Du's words, there could be no such coincidence in the world.
"The left ear faces east and south,
The girl is together and has no life to return,
He said to Ruoxiao,
White mountains and black waters are married.
You should have heard of this poem. About 30 years ago, this poem was engraved on the back of every compass used by the Du family. In fact, the relationship between the Du family and the Chen family is also written in this poem. This poem was the last words my mother said before she died.
The left ear faces east and south, and the most important thing in this sentence is the first four words, an ear knife on the left, plus an east character, isn't it the Chen character of the surname Chen.
The girl is in harmony and has no life, and the female character plus the new word is a surname word, and the first two sentences of this poem add up to the two words of the surname Chen. It's the Chen family.
He said to Ruoxiao, and the white mountains and black waters were married. Baishan and Heishui refer to Guanwai, referring to the birthplace of the old Chen family, but the two words of evil fate have exhausted the disputes between the Chen family and the Du family over the years. ”
"Auntie, can you tell me what's going on? You asked me to call you aunt, which means that you are the child of one of my grandfathers, could it be that there were no one in the five tigers of the Chen family who did not die except for the second and fifth tigers?
Since the Du family is the Chen family, why do you have the surname Du again? I can tell from your words that there are still a lot of unpleasant things between the Du family and the Chen family, so why do they kill each other? ”
Old Madam Du shook her head. "Bad fate, it's really bad fate. I'm not one of your grandfather's children. When your great-grandfather was a bandit, she adopted a little girl, and that little girl was my mother. ”
Speaking of which, Chen Ziyang knew the origin of the Du family. When I was in Huhai City, I had a long conversation with Chen Benzhong, and Chen Benzhong once said a word about this matter.
The little girl who was originally adopted was used as a little maid, but because the little girl was particularly delicate and well-behaved, she was later recognized as a goddaughter by her grandmother.
When the five tigers of the Chen family followed the old man of the Chen family to rob Zhang Zuolin's tomb outside, the little girl was taken hostage with her grandmother and stayed in Fengtian.
Chen Ziyang only knew so much, and Chen Benzhong didn't say anything about what happened later. At that time, Chen Ziyang didn't think much about it, just an adopted little girl, which was very normal in that era. But now it seems that Chen Benzhong deliberately did not say this matter.
"During the time I was taken hostage, my mother was always with your grandmother. In her spare time, your great-grandmother taught my mother how to read and write. Because my mother was so clever that after a few years, she could read almost all the books your grandmother could find, and she could memorize them all over again.
Probably to find a few obscure books to embarrass my mother, your grandmother took out the "Civil Engineering Collection" that she had been hiding, and who knew that it was also learned by my mother.
At that time, the mother and daughter were just using this book as a game, and after being banned from the book by your grandmother, who regretted it a little, my mother didn't take the things in the book to heart, but the things in the book were firmly in her mind.
Later, one of Zhang Zuolin's regiment commanders fell in love with my mother, so he went to your grandmother to propose marriage. The woman didn't stay, and the old lady of the Chen family at that time agreed.
Compared to being taken hostage, the identity of the captain's wife is undoubtedly a way out, and my mother agreed. He knew that the old lady of the Chen family was doing this for her good.
It is precisely because of this that when the second and fifth elders of the Chen family fled with the old lady of the Chen family, my mother was not implicated. Because first, her external identity is just a portable maid, and secondly, she has a husband who is the head of the regiment as a backer, so she has not been troubled by Zhang Zuolin.
But who knows, the suffering that followed was even worse.
In 1929, Zhang Xueliang changed his banner, and the 300,000 Feng Army was reorganized into the Northeast Army. In 1931, the September 18 Incident broke out, and the Northeast Army retreated into Guannai.
In 1935, Zhang Xueliang served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression, and the main force of the 160,000 Northeast Army was ****** transferred to Shaanxi and Gansu to encircle and suppress the Red Army, and my father and mother came to Shaanxi at that time.
Ever since he retreated to Kannai, my father has been haunted by the opportunity to fight back to Tohoku, regain lost territory, and drive little Japan out. Depressed and unambitious, he became seriously ill, and when he first came to Shaanxi, my father fell ill and was bedridden.
For my parents, who had been married for many years but had no children, the most important thing at that time was that I was about to be born.
Human obsession is a terrible thing and difficult to understand. At that time, many doctors saw my father, who was seriously ill, but no one could cure him, and everyone agreed that my father would not live long, but he survived until I was born.
The moment I was held in my father's arms, it was when he died. It was also the beginning of our family's nightmare.
Many officers of the Northeast Army have not been eliminated, and my father has been promoted from soldier to regiment commander step by step by relying on his military exploits, so he has no backing. When my father died, some officers of the Northeast Army banded together to seize my father's property and kick my mother and me out of the house.
It was a cold winter, and my mother was shivering on the road with her arms in her arms. Countless times, my mother wanted to die, but she couldn't bear to be born, so she gritted her teeth and survived, whether it was asking for food, or being a hard laborer or a coolie, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
But she was only a woman after all, and in an era of turmoil, no matter how hard my mother tried, the two of us couldn't even meet the needs of food and clothing. Washing my face with tears became a daily routine for my mother, and her greatest wish at that time was to feed me.
Maybe there was an arrangement in the dark, and things quickly took a turn for the better. The year after we were evicted from the house, during the autumn harvest, my mother was working in the fields as a day laborer in a landlord's house, and she looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers and felt a little familiar.
Reflecting on what was recorded in the Civil Engineering Collection, my mother realized that the environment around Daejeon turned out to be a dragon vein. After careful observation with the word mantra, my mother was sure that there was not only a dragon vein underneath Daejeon, but also a tomb.
Maybe the old lady of the Chen family never dreamed that the daughter she inadvertently adopted could actually learn and apply the knowledge in the "Civil Engineering Collection".
Human potential is endless, especially if there is an obsession. My mother dug a hole for me alone, and went into the tomb alone to look for burial goods.
No one knew what happened to my mother when she entered the tomb, and she never told me. But I later heard from my mother's men that when my mother crawled out of the tomb, there was hardly a single place left intact on her body.
And her eyes were full of murderous aura, and she was no longer the ordinary village girl. From that day on, my mother completely changed.
In less than two years, she relied on her ability to survey the tomb and crack the mechanism in the tomb to raise a team of tomb robbers.
In fact, it is really very interesting, what is Shaanxi Province? Ancient tombs are next to each other, maybe a flood will break open a tomb door, and a collapse of the ground will reveal an ancient tomb, this is simply a paradise for tomb robbers.
It was at that time that my mother's life and I changed completely, and we no longer lived at the bottom of society, but climbed up little by little.
And my mother also changed her surname to Du at that time, just to commemorate the "Civil Engineering Collection" that brought us all this. Later, as long as they joined the backbone of my mother's organization, they were all referred to as the Du family. This is the origin of the Du family. ”
At this point, Mrs. Du stopped and wiped the tears that oozed from the corners of her eyes. It seems that it is very difficult for her to recall what happened to her mother.
Chen Ziyang's chest rose and fell violently, although the old lady of the Du family said very simply, and she also jumped over many dangerous places, but he could hear that it was really not easy for the Du family to come this way.
Although the origin of the Du family is known, there is still one thing that Mrs. Du did not explain, why did Chen Benzhong say that the Du family should have died more than ten years ago? What the hell is going on.
And just now the old lady of the Du family said that sitting in front of her is the last Du family, it seems that the situation of the Du family is not optimistic as Chen Benzhong said, why did the Du family end up in this step?
After waiting for a while, seeing that Mrs. Du's mood had calmed down, Chen Ziyang continued to ask, "What happened later?" Why did the Du family disappear overnight more than a decade ago? What happened to the fire in the villa opened by Li Bojian's father? ”
Hearing Chen Ziyang's question, Mrs. Du looked bitter.
"There are so many things to say, and since I agree with you, I am ready to tell you everything. The Du family is over, and there will be no more Du family in the future. Don't be in a hurry, wait for me to finish slowly.
My mother has always been very grateful to the old lady of the Chen family, if it wasn't for the old lady Chen who showed her the "Civil Engineering Collection", maybe my mother and I would have starved to death somewhere. So my mother has been looking for the whereabouts of the old lady of the Chen family.
But in that turbulent era, it was good enough to be able to protect oneself, and it was not easy to find the disappeared people in the vast sea of people, not to mention that many places were occupied by the Japanese, and there was nowhere to find them.
But one clue unexpectedly appeared in an ancient tomb. ”
