Volume 1 Reminiscences of a Boy's Heart Chapter 33 A Strange Birthday Banquet (1)

Nie Donglai was stunned, he didn't expect such a result.

"Does no one know who they really are? Or are there no two people in the world, they are just made up by the world?"

"No, no, no, it can't be!"

Nie Donglai somehow, his heart was inexplicably irritable.

Mu Guitian said with certainty: "No, they should be real, and if I guess correctly, there is a person who should know who they are!"

Nie Donglai was stunned for a moment and said, "Who is it?"

"It was my old man, and once when he was drunk, he told me that he had a deep friendship with these two men, but no matter how I asked him afterwards, he flatly denied it, and refused to mention their past to me, but I am sure that he must have had a friendship with these two men. ”

Mu Guitian said slowly, he still remembered that the old man had punished him for grounding for a month because of this matter, and even warned him that if he dared to talk about these two people again in the future, he would sweep himself out of the house.

He looked as if he was trying to hide something.

"How so?"

Nie Donglai was a little unconvinced, what if it was Mu Guitian and his old man who deliberately bragged about it? After all, these two people were big people who made the entire rivers and lakes fearful.

Mu Guitian immediately understood Nie Donglai's thoughts, and said, "My old man has never bragged about himself!"

Nie Donglai disagreed.

Mu Guitian also understood what Nie Donglai was thinking, after all, he had never been in contact with his old man at all, he didn't know who he was, and it was normal not to believe it, even if he changed himself, he might not believe it.

"Could it be that these two men are dead now?"

After a pause, Nie Donglai still asked with some reluctance.

"I don't know, but they must have not been walking around the rivers and lakes for a long time, because there has never been a trace of them on the rivers and lakes all these years. ”

Mu Guitian said blankly.

Nie Donglai nodded and said, "After all, they are not from our era!"

Mu Guitian echoed: "Could it be that these two people just sank into the sea like a stone and disappeared inexplicably?"

Nie Donglai glanced at him and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" I don't even know you, how can I know?"

Mu Guitian turned his head and thought for a while, and said, "Also, you don't even know yourself, let alone other people." ”

Nie Donglai looked a little dazed, but he didn't refute it, he was right, he really didn't even know his life experience.

"Alas!"

Mu Guitian sighed and said, "Let's go, it's time to hurry." ”

With that, he untied the reins of the horse.

"Drive!"

The two drove away again.

......

Changxiao Town.

An imposing courtyard is located in the east of Changxiao Town, the turquoise buildings are connected, the vermilion gate is open, there are two cyan stone lions sitting at the door, each stone lion has a cyan stone bead in its mouth, and even the two small subordinates standing at the door are holding their heads high, the instrument is extraordinary, and it is a big family at a glance.

This is the Hakka, one of the four great families in Changxiao Town.

In the west, south, and north of Changxiao Town, there are also three major families that are not inferior to the Hakka family, and even the scale and size of the courtyard are almost the same, namely the Xue family, the Duan family and the Jin family.

They form a four-legged trend of Changxiao Town.

The only difference is that behind the Hakka courtyard is a quaint ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall occupies a very large area, half the size of the Hakka courtyard, this ancestral hall is handed down by the Hakka ancestors, and until now, I don't know how many generations have been handed down.

All the tablets of the ancestors and sages of the Hakka people have been invited here for future generations to pay homage and worship.

Today's Hakka ancestral hall is particularly lively, and the resplendent Hakka ancestral hall has long been overcrowded, because today is the 50th birthday of the contemporary Hakka homeowner, Ke Zhenghua.

The people who came to celebrate the birthday of Ke Zhenghua came to the Hakka early in the morning with birthday gifts.

At noon, the birthday feast officially began.

Ke Zhenghua is a middle-aged man who is a little blessed, with an ordinary appearance, a pair of bright eyes, full of wise light, and a long black hair tied behind him at will, judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like a person who is already fifty years old at all, at most in his early forties, as if the years can't erode his face.

At this moment, he was sitting upright in the chief in a festive birthday robe, looking at the ancestral hall full of friends, with a smile on his face.

Kelai sat below him, his head bowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Fukuyama, have you all arrived?"

Ke Zhenghua turned his head and asked softly to a white-headed old man standing behind him.

He is the housekeeper of the Hakka family, Ke Fushan, who is only two years older than Ke Zhenghua, but he looks like a man who is about to die.

"Master, the people from the other three major families haven't come yet!"

Ke Fushan covered his hand and whispered in Ke Zhenghua's ear, his face was a little displeased, it stands to reason that the invitation had already been sent out, and the people from the other three major families should have already arrived, but this time the birthday banquet began, but they were never seen.

Isn't this sincerity to embarrass the master?

"Don't worry, maybe they're delayed. ”

Ke Zhenghua looked at his expression and already knew what he was thinking, after all, Ke Fushan had been with him for more than 30 years, and the two of them were called master and servant, but they were actually like brothers.

Kefushan is a person who can't hide things, and he knows better than anyone what he thinks about everything on his face.

"But sir, aren't they sincere in embarrassing you?"

Kefushan was a little angry.

Ke Zhenghua waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's not wait for them, it's their business whether to come or not."

After that, he looked around, stood up, held the wine glass on the table to his chest, and laughed loudly: "Today, it is the old man's fiftieth birthday, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to my Hakka guest, the old man as the host, if there is any inconsiderate care, I hope you Haihan!"

"Where, where!"

"The Hakka master is polite!"

"It is a blessing for us to be able to come to celebrate the birthday of the Hakka master!"

The others stood up and raised their glasses on the table in front of them as a sign of respect.

"!"

Ke Zhenghua looked at everyone's performance, nodded slightly, and as he spoke, he picked up the wine glass in his hand with both hands, raised his head and drank it all.

"!"

The others followed his example and drank.

Ke Zhenghua watched everyone finish drinking the wine in their hands, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the dishes on the table, and said loudly: "Today, everyone is let go of eating, letting go of drinking, you must eat and drink well!"

"Thank you, Master Hakka!"

Everyone hugged their fists and thanked them, and then sat down one after another.

"Haha, Brother Hakka is still so arrogant!"

At this moment, there was a sudden loud laugh outside, and then a group of people walked in from outside the ancestral hall.

The leader was dressed in a brown robe, about forty or fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a hooked nose, short brown hair draped over his shoulders, and a seven-ring broadsword in his hand.

As soon as he came in, he arched his hand towards Ke Zhenghua and said, "The little brother is a step late, and I hope that the guest brother will not blame." ”
