Chapter 597: Wei Wan's Parents

"It's a pretty village."

Qin Gengyun and the others walked into the wind chime village, only to see that the houses in the village were scattered, and each family's yard was planted with flowers and trees, and wind chimes were hung on the trees and at the door.

The wind blows, and the bell rings, crisp and pleasant.

Xu Caihe and Zhou Linger were not only amazed, but also praised the tassels again and again:

"Miss, the village here is different from ours."

She was talking about the villages under Qinglian Mountain in the past, most of which were simple huts, and they were not so romantic.

At this time, a man walked over, saw everyone, and was stunned, and when his eyes swept over the seven women except Qin Gengqian and Lan Yin, surprise appeared on his face, and he immediately greeted him:

"You're not from a nearby village, are you? Did you pass through our village? ”

This man is about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes, but he is not afraid of life, but is very enthusiastic.

Qin Gengyun smiled at him and said, "This little brother, we are here to find someone. ”

"Looking for someone?" The man asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Qin Gengqian didn't speak, and Wei Wan couldn't wait to ask, "Twenty-five years ago, did anyone in your village abandon their newborn child?" ”

"This"

The man was stunned by the question, and then said:

"I'll not hide it from you, I was only three years old twenty-five years ago, and I don't remember anything at all."

Wei Wan was stunned, and knew that her question was a little abrupt, and the man smiled:

"It's okay, my father is the head of the village, and he knows everything in the village, so you can come to my house as a guest, and I will invite my father over."

Seeing that everyone looked at him and didn't speak, the man hurriedly said:

"It's me who is abrupt, my name is Liu Zhen, my father's name is Liu Dashu, he is the village chief of Fengchi Village, my house is on the south side of the village, if you don't dislike it, go to my house to rest."

Qin Gengyun looked at Qiu Zhihe, she nodded slightly, Qin Gengyun smiled and said:

"Then bother."

"Okay, everyone come with me!"

Liu Zhen was very enthusiastic, and introduced the situation of Fengling Village to everyone along the way, this village has been under the Tianluo Mountain for hundreds of years, and the village is full of ordinary people, who make a living by hunting and farming on weekdays.

Many of the villagers I met on the road were as enthusiastic as Liu Zhen, and they all greeted Qin Gengyun and the others with smiles.

"Senior sister, how come the people of this village are more hospitable than our residents of Dongxiu? Doesn't it look like a place occupied by the Demon Gate? ”

Xu Caihe felt a little strange and whispered to Su Xin.

Su Xin was also puzzled, a little speechless.

She also thought that these villages under the jurisdiction of the Demon Gate were in dire straits, but she didn't expect that life would be so peaceful and the people were simple.

Liu Zhen led everyone to walk through most of the village, and finally came to a courtyard that covered a large area, and he smiled and said:

"Everyone, this is my family, my father and a few uncles went to the mountains today, you sit down for a while, I will look for them."

So saying, he invited everyone to come in and sit down, brought tea and some bread, and then went out to find his father, the village chief.

"This cake is delicious!"

The tassel was greedy, grabbed the cake and bit most of it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he swallowed one and picked up another one.

Qin Gengyun said helplessly: "Su Su, can you keep an eye on it?" ”

The others also looked at her speechlessly, and Xu Caihe said: "Senior Sister He, this is at the foot of the Demon Gate Mountain, so you are not afraid of poison in the food?" ”

Tassel cut: "These are ordinary people, what are you afraid of?" ”

She ate three cakes in a row, and after waiting for a long time, there was no abnormal reaction, and the tassel smiled: "Look, I said it was okay, right?" ”

"Seems like it's okay, huh?"

Xu Caihe hesitated, then picked up a cake and took a small bite, and suddenly opened his eyes wide:

"Delicious!"

Zhou Ling'er next to her picked up a cup of tea: "This tea is so fragrant!" ”

Su Xin thought about it, tasted it too, and nodded: "It's really no problem, it seems that we are too careful." ”

Qin Gengqian looked around, the furnishings around him were very ordinary, and there was no problem with the food in front of him, but for some reason, he always felt as if something was not right.

Not long after, Liu Zhen and an old man with a gray beard came back and said to everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my father and the village chief of our Fengjing Village."

The old man smiled at everyone and said, "Old Liu Dashu, I don't know if another guest has arrived today, and I came back late." ”

Several people got up to salute, and Qin Gengyun noticed that there was a long scar on the old man's face.

Seeing him watching, Liu Dashu said apologetically: "I scared the distinguished guest, when I was young, I went to the mountains to hunt, and I was scratched by a tiger and left a scar. ”

"I see, I was abrupt." Qin Gengyun nodded.

Wei Wan asked eagerly, "Old Village Chief Liu, do you remember that twenty-five years ago, did anyone in the village give a newborn baby to someone outside the village?" ”

Tassel went on to talk about the physiognomy of her parents as seen in Wei Wan's memory screen.

"More than twenty years ago."

Liu Dashu squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, Wei Wan stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, his eyes full of anticipation and apprehension.

Liu Zhen enthusiastically added tea to everyone, and went to bring some flour cakes and dried meat.

After a long time, Liu Dashu suddenly slapped his thigh: "I remember, there was really such a thing in our village more than 20 years ago!" ”

Wei Wan's eyes lit up: "Can you elaborate on it?" ”

"Absolutely."

A gentle smile appeared on Liu Dashu's scarred face, and then he said:

"There was a man in our village named Liu Li, who married a girl from the next village. Oh yes, it's called Zhang Cui'er. ”

"The two of them are quite similar to what you say they are."

"I remember they had a child within two years of getting married, well, a girl."

"At that time, we went to their house to deliver things to congratulate us, but no one expected that something like that would happen later, alas."

Liu Dashu sighed, and Wei Wan's voice trembled slightly: "What happened?" ”

Liu Dashu touched his beard, sighed, and said slowly: "Liu Li and Zhang Cuier don't like this girl for some reason, and they sold the child not long after they were born. ”

"Sold?!"

Wei Wan's face turned pale, and Liu Dashu nodded:

"Yes, it is said that it was sold to a passing villager from another village, it seems to be a monk, they got two spirit stones, if they go outside, they can exchange them for dozens of taels of gold."

Wei Wan's voice trembled: "Then where are they now?" ”

Liu Dashu said: "Maybe it's retribution, it didn't take long for the two of them to get seriously ill and die."

"Dead."

Wei Wan's face turned pale, her body collapsed in an instant, and Su Xin next to her hurriedly supported her.

Qin Gengyun was silent for a moment, and then asked Liu Dashu, "Village Chief, do you know where they are buried?" ”

"It's on the hill west of the village, where all the people of our village are buried when they die."

Wei Wan's eyes were red: "I want to go and see." ”

Liu Dashu said to Liu Zhen: "I'm old and have difficulty moving, you can take you there, I remember that they were buried together under a maple tree, and there were names on the tombstones." ”

"Yes, Dad, everyone, please come with me."

So Liu Zhen led everyone out of the courtyard and soon left the village.

When I came to a hill to the west, I didn't go far before I saw a grave.

Liu Zhen pointed to one of the graves under the maple tree and said to Wei Wan, "That should be it." ”
