Chapter 45: Clues
There are 100,000 people in Huaxia Shenzhou, and if you don't know the address and contact information, it is not easy to find a person, and Lu Qing can only go to Quanzhou to find clues according to his memory.
If Wang Mengmi is still alive, even if he doesn't return to Fujian to settle down, he should leave some news.
Unfortunately, the passage of time has worn out too many things, and the former royal mansion has long been demolished, leaving only the sidewalks criss-crossed.
Quanzhou Wharf is still full of life, but you can't see the uneven warehouses in the past, nor can you see the shirtless laborers wearing short scarves back then, only the roar of cruise ships and countless containers of all colors.
"Alas, I can't imagine that there is not even a trace of the past." Lu Qing sighed.
Wang also agreed: "Yes, although I know from the past crew members that the land of Shenzhou has changed a lot over the years, I didn't expect the changes to be so earth-shaking. ”
Lu Qing thought for a while and said, "Let's go around the neighborhood first, and see if I can find out the news related to that girl." ”
Wang nodded, and the two of them wandered around the docks.
Although the people on the dock were in a hurry, there were still some idle people sitting together and chatting.
They talked about topics from all over the world, and they could tell a lot of things whether they had or not, but there was one thing that everyone cared about, and that was the sinking of Dongying Honshu Island.
"If you want me to say, it's all retribution!" A middle-aged man in a white vest said indignantly: "How many heinous crimes did the little devils commit in our China back then, and after so many years, they didn't apologize, and even denied the history of the invasion of China, so God really couldn't stand it anymore and gave them the retribution they deserved!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't! Little devil of dog day, dare to do it and dare not admit it, damn it! A young man also scolded angrily: "I thought that the country would become strong in the future to recover the blood debt, but I didn't expect to be collected by God!" ”
"It's really cheap for these dogs, if my grandma hadn't fled to Fujian, I'm afraid there would be no me now!" Another young man followed suit.
"If you want me to say, this god is still soft-hearted, and he should sink all four islands!" Someone next to him said.
"That's right!"
"That's it!"
"Well said!"
The crowd chimed in.
It's not that they're cold-blooded, it's that the Chinese people have the same nature: tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
The Holy Master Confucius said: Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue.
Although the Chinese people are informal, they will never let go of the hatred of the country and the family, even if it has been a hundred years or thousands of years.
Just when everyone was chatting hotly, Lu Qing walked up and asked, "Excuse me, have you heard of the Wang Mansion?" ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, looked up at Lu Qing and the people beside him, and saw the handsome and refined faces and ethereal temperament of the two of them, and they were immediately shocked!
"Gods, gods have descended to earth!" One couldn't help but exclaim.
Lu Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Brother said he was joking." ”
The man came back to his senses, his face was suddenly embarrassed, and he sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm smiling, I'm smiling!" ”
Although the rest of the people did not lose their temper like him, they were also amazed by Lu Qing and Wang's appearance in their hearts.
"Are you ......," one of them asked.
"We're from overseas, and we're here to find an old friend." Lu Qing replied.
"Oh! Understood, understood, overseas Chinese, right? The man suddenly said, "You have come here to recognize your ancestors and find your roots, right?" ”
In recent years, with the continuous opening up of the country, more and more overseas Chinese have begun to return to their hometowns and recognize their ancestors, and he obviously regards Lu Qing as one of them.
Chinese descent refers to people whose ancestors are Chinese and have Chinese ancestry, but do not have Chinese nationality, and are real foreigners.
Chinese refers to a person who has acquired foreign nationality and voluntarily renounced Chinese nationality, and is also an undoubted foreigner.
Overseas Chinese, on the other hand, refer to natural persons who have lived overseas for a long time but still retain Chinese nationality and are serious Chinese.
Of course, in this era, many Chinese people are not very clear about these distinctions, so they have a sense of intimacy with overseas Chinese, Chinese, and Chinese Americans, and they all regard them as compatriots.
Lu Qing didn't refute it when he saw that they recognized him as an overseas Chinese, firstly, it was more troublesome to explain, and secondly, he did meet the definition of overseas Chinese.
"It turned out to be overseas Chinese, hello, hello!"
Seeing this, the rest of the people also greeted Lu Qing and Wang.
Lu Qing also returned the salute one by one, and then continued to ask, "Does anyone know about the Wang Mansion?" Any clue is fine! ”
As long as he was looking for some relative of his ancestors, everyone began to think carefully.
After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties finally replied: "When I was a child, I heard my second aunt and grandmother talk about the Wang Mansion, which seemed to be the house of a large family in the Republic of China. ”
Lu Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Can you elaborate on it?" ”
"Hey, I can't remember, it's all when I was a kid." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "But my second aunt and grandmother are still here, she may know."
It's just that she's old and her brain is a little dull, and she can't necessarily remember. ”
"That's great, could you please take me to meet her?" Lu Qing asked.
"No problem." The middle-aged man agreed without hesitation, but still added: "But don't get your hopes up, my second aunt and grandmother are really not too sober-minded." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, thank you so much!" Lu Qing thanked him.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to thank him, and said goodbye casually to a few of his partners, and then took Lu Qing and Wang to find his second aunt and grandmother.
The three of them walked for about ten minutes before they came to a cold courtyard.
"This is my aunt's house, and she lives alone now." The middle-aged man pointed to the courtyard and said to Lu Qing.
"Alone?" Wang said in surprise.
It stands to reason that the old lady is not young, how can she live alone in such a remote courtyard?
"yes." The middle-aged man nodded and replied: "Her family has gone outside, and I wanted to take her over, but no matter how much she persuaded her, she didn't want to leave, so she kept guarding this small courtyard." ”
Lu Qing nodded after hearing this, the old man is indeed more nostalgic for his homeland, after all, it is a place where he has lived all his life, how can he say that he can easily give up if he leaves.
"It's hard to leave your homeland." Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
The middle-aged man also nodded in agreement, looked at Lu Qing again, and thought: Aren't these two people the same, they have lived overseas for so many years, and they are also successful in terms of clothing and temperament, and it is not that they can't give up this part of the bloodline.
Thinking of this person, the middle-aged man felt a little closer to the two of them, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you in." ”
Then, the three of them walked into the small courtyard.
