The Lin ancestral hall was once the most sacred and dignified place in Clear Water Bay, a symbol of the power and moral supremacy of this small mountain village.

In the past, people with foreign surnames and women were strictly forbidden to enter the Lin ancestral hall, including Lin Xizhen.

The last patriarch, that is, Lin Xizhen's father, he opened the door of the ancestral hall and used it as the command post of the YJ team.

The YJ team did not enter the ancestral hall in any case, saying that even if they built a grass hut in the mountain, they should respect the villagers' protection of their family.

Patriarch Lin had no choice, so he gave up his house as the command post of the YJ team and moved into the ancestral hall by himself.

Later, the commander who was recuperating from his wounds in Qingshuiwan wrote the four big characters of "great benevolence and righteousness" and presented them to the Lin patriarch before returning to the army, expressing his affirmation and gratitude to him, and asked Zhuang Su, who stayed in Qingshuiwan, to protect the Lin clan ancestral hall even if he sacrificed his life.

Zhuang Su kept in mind the commander's teachings and protected the Lin clan ancestral hall like he protected his eyes.

In the meantime, from time to time, outsiders come to covet the Lin ancestral hall, thinking that there must be rare treasures in such an ancient building.

Some even want to dismantle the bricks and tiles of the Lin ancestral hall and transport them to the big city to be sold.

Zhuang Su guarded the ancestral hall of the Lin family day and night to ensure that this ancient building was not damaged in the slightest.

A hundred years after the Lin patriarch, Zhuang Su himself was also old, in order to avoid damage to the Lin ancestral hall. He led the villagers to build a large tent with bamboo outside the Lin ancestral hall, and the big tent was tightly covered with thatch and bamboo leaves, that is, the Lin ancestral hall was hidden in this big tent and put on a protective suit for it.

In this way, outsiders don't know that there is an ancient ancestral hall in Clear Water Bay.

Over time, the outside of the tent is overgrown with weeds and vines. Even the young people of this village did not know that such an ancestral hall existed, and only thought that it was a withered bamboo canopy.

The key to the door of the Lin ancestral hall is only in the hands of Zhuang Su alone, and he usually asks the old man surnamed Lin to go in from a small hole next to him to sprinkle and sweep when there is no one in the morning and evening, and seal it when he comes out, without revealing a flaw.

Zhuang Su himself never entered the Lin family ancestral hall, because he was a person with a foreign surname, and he had to follow the rules of the Lin family.

Lin Xizhen returned to Qingshuiwan Village, and Zhuang Su thought that she should return to her original position and be worshiped by the clansmen. discussed with the old people surnamed Lin and dismantled the big tent, so that the Lin ancestral hall could see the light of day again.

It also happened that this big tent had just been dismantled yesterday afternoon, and today it was discovered by the relics of Lao Wang, who came to investigate the field, and the real body of the Lin ancestral hall.

"Xiao Yan, you and I are standing at the door, don't go in."

After Zhuang Su opened the door, he didn't go in, and when he saw solemnly raising his legs, he immediately stopped him.

"Grandpa, why don't we go in and have a look?"

Solemnly wondered.

"Xiao Yan, only people surnamed Lin can enter here, you and I belong to foreign surnames, and we can't go in without permission."

"What about the old Wang's relics?"

"They are the people above, and they used to be called G, and the people of the G family could have come and gone at will."

"Oh, I see, Grandpa."

Standing solemnly beside Zhuang Su, but the young heart is still curious about what is inside this ancient building called a national treasure by Wang Lao's cultural relics? I couldn't help but look sideways inside:

Seeing Wang Lao's cultural relics, he took out a notebook and a magnifying glass, and took notes while reading, and was very devoted.

Xu Yibing and the personnel of several other departments were amazed while visiting, their expressions were solemn, and they did not dare to speak loudly.

Lin Xizhen, with Lin Xi's support, walked into the room, and it was estimated that he was looking at old objects, seeing things and thinking about people, and it would be impossible to come out for a while.

"Ju clan Luming Mountain, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and wisdom; Sitang opens the clear water, and the civil and military agriculture and animal husbandry vibrate the family. ”

Solemnly and softly read a couplet on the pillars on both sides of the main hall of the ancestral hall.

"Xiao Yan, the Lin family lives in Qingshui Bay at the foot of Daming Mountain, and it is not easy to reproduce until now, they take benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom as their family style, advocate being able to be literate and martial, farming and animal husbandry are thrifty and housekeeping, which deserves our respect."

"Grandpa, do we have an ancestral hall in the Zhuang family?"

"Xiao Yan, the ancestral hall of our Zhuang clan is in Ningzhou, and your great-grandfather was the patriarch."

"Grandpa, is our ancestral hall in Ningzhou still there?"

"Things are people, and it is difficult to return to the old place, how do you know if the ancestral hall exists? Xiao Yan, to be able to become a person in Qingshuiwan Village, you should be content and don't think nonsense. ”

"Grandpa, I understand, how about I take you back to Ningzhou if I have a chance?"

"Back? How easy is it to say? ”

"Grandpa, it's convenient to have a car now."

"Didn't you hear me just say that things are wrong with people, and it's hard to go back? I don't have the face to go back......"

"Grandpa, when the villagers in Qingshuiwan Village become rich, our family will go back to Ningzhou, where the Zhuang family is needed."

"Xiao Yan, didn't I tell you not to think nonsense?"

"Grandpa, when I see the four words 'Lin Clan Ancestral Hall' on my head, I don't know why I especially want to see the four words 'Zhuang Clan Ancestral Hall'."

"Xiao Yan, I can still live surnamed Zhuang, it all depends on the YJ team, the soldiers who saved me are all sacrificed here, and I must guard their graves for the rest of my life. In order to protect the YJ team, the villagers of Clear Water Bay Village are worthy of my lifelong protection regardless of life and death. As for the Zhuang ancestral hall, you and I often have a lot of thoughts in our hearts, although a fire of the devil burned it, but the invisible is better than the tangible, and the Ningzhou Zhuang family is not ashamed of the ancestors of the Zhuang family. ”

"Grandpa, I understand."

"It's good to understand!"

solemnly saw tears overflowing from the corners of Zhuang Su's eyes, and wanted to reach out to wipe them. Zhuang Su turned around, stretched out his hand to wipe it off, and turned his head with a calm face.

This is Zhuang Su, an unyielding and calm old man.

"What are you two doing standing there? What about LD from above? ”

solemnly turned out from the corner of the stone house in front.

The ancestral hall of the Lin family is at the end of the old village of Qingshuiwan, backed by Daming Mountain.

"Dad, Grandma Xi and everyone are in the ancestral hall."

"Oh, it's time for lunch, you say hello to everyone."

solemnly said as he walked to Zhuang Su and solemnly, and the three generations of the Zhuang family stood in front of the steps of the Lin ancestral hall in a proper manner.

When Zhuang Zhuang was about to greet Xu Yibing and them for lunch, Lin Xizhen stumbled straight from the back room to the gate, and Lin Xi chased after her closely.

"The three generations of men in the dealer family are on top, and I am worshiped by my little daughter of the Lin family!"

Lin Xizhen fell to her knees, her head just hit the threshold, and her forehead was oozing blood.

"Hi girl, what are you doing this?"

"Aunt Xi, get up quickly."

"Hi grandma, hi grandma......"

solemnly and solemnly lifted Lin Xizhen across the threshold, and Lin Xi rushed to help her later.

Xu Yibing and several personnel from the relevant departments of the county, including Wang Lao's cultural relics, who had been selfless in the ancient ancestral hall to investigate, did not know what was going on, and hurriedly surrounded them.

"Brother Su, I want to ring the bell today and gather all the descendants of the Lin family in Qingshuiwan Village, and the LD from the county will testify and change the Lin clan ancestral hall to the Zhuang clan ancestral hall!"

After Lin Xizhen finished speaking, she broke free from Lin Xi, who was supporting her, stepped over the threshold of the ancestral hall, stumbled under an old camphor tree in front of the ancestral hall, pulled the bell rope with both hands, and rang a big bell hanging on the ancient tree vigorously.

The bell that had been sleeping for decades rang, and all the people surnamed Lin at home in Qingshuiwan Village, regardless of men, women, and children, immediately gathered at the door of the ancestral hall, and even Grandpa Lin Xi was carried to the scene by Lin Desheng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Lin Xizhen, want to announce to you today as the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Qingshuiwan Village a major event, from today onwards, the Lin clan ancestral hall will be changed to the Zhuang clan ancestral hall, and the LDs from the county will testify."

Lin Xizhen stood on the middle step of the entrance of the ancestral hall and announced loudly.

"Xi girl, don't do it, you're trying to torture us."

Solemn, solemn, and solemn have retreated to the bottom of the steps.

"It must be changed, and all the children surnamed Lin in Qingshuiwan Village will give birth to children in the future, and one must be surnamed Zhuang."

Lin Xizhen's words shocked the villagers of Qingshuiwan Village even more than changing the name of the ancestral hall.
