Chapter 26: Obituary
After Shen Fei adjusted his state, it was already three poles in the sun, and in the bright sunshine, Shen Fei returned to this abandoned village.
He stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door of the only house in the village, and heard the babbling of children from afar, which seemed to be full of vitality, but Shen Fei, who was standing in front of the door, felt a little cold.
"Tuk Tuk"
After waiting for a moment, a gentle response came from inside the door: "Who?" At the same time, a delicate woman opened the wooden door, saw a strange man standing outside the door, and subconsciously took a half step back.
As if she felt that her behavior was inappropriate, the handsome woman hurriedly said, "Dare to ask what this little Langjun has to do?" ”
During Shen Fei's conversation with the little Taoist priest yesterday, he found out that this should be the late Song Dynasty, and he was not sure what year it was. Folk men are mostly called Lang Jun, and women are called Niangzi.
Shen Fei smiled kindly at her, and the woman was relieved.
"This lady, I am a demon hunter who has just returned to my homeland from Xiyi, and I am so thirsty that I want to beg for a bowl of water to drink." Shen Fei said embarrassedly.
"Witcher?" The woman muttered, obviously not understanding what it was called, but she hesitated and let open the door, "Xiao Langjun come in first and rest for a while." ”
"Who?" A thick man's inquiry came from inside the room.
"It's a stranger, who has come to ask for a bowl of water to drink." The woman seemed to deliberate on the wording, and replaced it with a well-understood title.
"Oh, then please come in and rest, my son, and find some food." The man in the room said heartily.
"Babble." At this time, a little bean ding who was staggering out of the back room came out of the back room, and the woman hurriedly ran over to pick it up, and beckoned Shen Fei to enter the door together.
Shen Fei glanced around the inner courtyard, his eyes stayed on the stove room, frowning slightly, but he still followed her into the main hall, only to see a strong man, who was sitting in the hall repairing the hoe, seeing Shen Fei enter the door, he hurriedly put down the hoe and got up to greet him, with a simple smile on his face, which made people very close.
Shen Fei greeted him with a smile, and the man ushered him into a guest seat.
"This place is remote, Xiao Langjun, you have traveled here, but you have lost your way?"
"No, I'm a demon hunter, and I heard that there are demons nearby, so I came here to take a look." Shen Fei replied calmly, while staring at the man's expression.
I saw that his face changed slightly, and he immediately made a sudden realization, and hurriedly said: "Yes, a strange thing happened in our village, all the people in the village disappeared overnight, and only my family was left. ”
"Xiao Langjun, you should have seen the situation of the village when you came, if you have some ability, I hope to find my fellow villagers, this strange situation is so shocking that our family is unable to sleep and eat." The words were all pleading.
"Oh? And this kind of thing? Shen Fei raised his eyebrows and replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the reason and help you find your fathers and fellow villagers." ”
The man hurriedly thanked him, and he seemed very warm between the three words, and he was a hospitable and simple farmer.
"Xiao Langjun, please use water, there is still some food here, if you don't dislike it, you can eat a meal or two." Not long after, the delicate woman walked in with a pottery bowl in each hand, smiled lightly, and the pear vortex on the corner of her mouth was sweet and lovely.
Shen Fei hurriedly got up and took it, and replied, "Thank you, lady." Then he put the two bowls on the table for the time being, and continued to talk with the man.
When I was in elementary school, the teacher said that you should not eat what strangers give, and Shen Fei was very well-behaved.
The woman didn't seem to notice it, and when she saw that her husband was entertaining, she went to take care of the child, who was about a year old, not as dark and firm as a man, and whose skin was extraordinarily white, perhaps because of his mother.
"The people in the village have disappeared, haven't you thought about going out and looking for them? Aren't your family scared here? Shen Fei asked suspiciously.
"It seems that the root of the disease that fell from the burns a few days ago is unbearable as soon as it is exposed to the sun, and besides, there is still a wife at home, and my elderly mother, who is really unable to move easily." The man was also very embarrassed.
Shen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, there were still other relatives in the family, Shen Fei glanced at the side room, probably in that room, right? The sun is so good today, don't the old people come out to bask in the sun?
As soon as he came in, Shen Fei saw some ancestral tablets on the table on the wall facing the door of the house.
At this time, I carefully distinguished, only to find that the handwriting on the tablet was all blurred and unrecognizable, as if it had been eroded by something, and a yellowed paper seemed to have been left in the corner of the side of the table, which could be vaguely recognized as an obituary.
On the left is written: Liu Jian, an unfilial man, is deeply sinful, does not perish himself, and prolongs disaster.
The top grid in the middle reads: The newly deceased Xiankao Liu Jun was the old man, and he died at the end of his life on the twenty-third day of August in the second year of Xuanhe, and he was born on the third day of March in the fourth year of Xining, at the age of forty-nine.
In the lower right corner, it is written: Liu Jian, the lonely mourner, weeps blood.
Shen Fei raised his eyebrows again after reading it, when he talked to the man before, he took out the information that the man was called Liu Jian. Seeing this obituary at this time, it should be the obituary when the man's father died.
Obituaries have a fixed format, for example, if the deceased's parents and parents-in-law are alive and have no grandchildren, they can only be called first, not obvious; The deceased's parents and parents-in-law are both dead and have grandchildren to be revealed, and there is a meaning of taking the first step here.
Xiao Douding looks like he is only about a year old, which means that Liu Jian's father died within a year.
In addition, the death of the father is called an orphan, the death of the mother is called mourning, and the death of both parents can be called a lonely and mourning son.
Shen Fei rubbed his chin and smiled meaningfully.
He picked up the water bowl, poured the bowl into his mouth with both hands, and put the water into the backpack space by blocking his vision. Bidding farewell to the couple in this way, he refused the man's enthusiastic retention, and strode towards the door.
What he didn't see was that the husband and wife, along with the full-age children, and even the elderly woman who had been staying in the side room, stood blankly under the eaves of the main hall, silent, and quietly watched Shen Fei leave.
Shen Fei, who had gone out, recalled that the situation encountered here was very different from what he had expected before he came, and he still needed to go elsewhere to confirm a few things.
When Shen Fei went around to the back of the house, he found a quick stone from the ground, he held the stone and drew a circle on the wall, and carved a symbol of wealth in the circle.
When he thought of the loneliness of this family, Shen Fei couldn't bear to bring a good person, so he decided to improve their lives.
As we all know:
The house moved, Lamborghini;
The house is a pickpocket, Paramela;
The house moves, the Range Rover moves;
Tear down the word and spray it, and immediately mention it;
The house does not move, but also rides electric;
Don't envy the mandarin duck or the immortal, only envy the house to draw a circle, split the words and write in the middle of the circle, and be happy every day from now on.
