Chapter 1 A Letter to the Family
The most impatient thing in the middle of summer is that there is nothing else to do except listen to the chirp at work and get sleepy!
The South-Western Frontier is located in a subtropical climate zone, and there is no such thing as a pleasant climate!
People who live here know that there are only two seasons here!
In the cold winter, he shivered in cotton clothes with runny nose, and in the middle of summer, he carried boxes of mangoes shirtless and scolded it for what kind of weather!
At noon, it was time to move the mangoes.
A group of old men braved the scorching sun above their heads to carry baskets of southwest specialty mangoes from the woodland to the trailer that was about to be sent to various provinces and cities!
The annoying squeaks and squeaks non-stop, and the workers who are already overworked from getting up early and greedy late are even more sleepy when they hear it!
Among this group of old men who average forty or fifty years a year, there is a young man who is very eye-catching!
There is no other reason!
Youngster!
Looking at his age, he is only young, although he has a mature hair, but he looks at it, and he looks very good.
Although the scorching sun scorched his skin and turned it dark and rough, it couldn't hide his charm from top to bottom!
In a group of middle-aged men, it stands out from the crowd!
Every time she goes back and forth to the fruit forest, the aunt who picks the fruit always likes to look at him carefully with her eyes, and then swallow her saliva, constantly hinting with words whether you can take a walk together by the river at night!
What's more, when the young man bends down to move the frame, he also likes to touch him with his hands!
In this regard, the young man is not surprised, and he is a little insensitively enjoying this life!
Carrying bricks (mangoes) every day, annoying and sleepy, and then telling jokes to my aunt in her thirties and forties, and taking out twenty of the hundred and fifty yuan to buy a duck leg and drink a bottle of beer every night when I settle my salary!
That's how life is!
"Xiao Lin, what did you think about what Uncle said yesterday?" Just when Xiao Lin was still thinking about which roast duck restaurant to go to buy a roast duck leg tonight, Uncle Li, who was working with him to move bricks, suddenly started talking about the question that Xiao Lin had been deliberately avoiding today.
"Huh?" Xiao Lin looked at Uncle Li with some embarrassment!
He didn't know what to say to Uncle Li.
It stands to reason that at the age of twenty-three, he should indeed have a partner, and then get married and have children!
You see, the children in the neighborhood are all in the first grade of elementary school!
Yesterday, Uncle Li kindly wanted to introduce his daughter to Xiaolin.
In line with the love of moving bricks together for a few years, Uncle Li is very relieved of Xiaolin.
is young, although he has no ability, but he is a good hand at moving bricks!
Down-to-earth and hard-working, although there is no money, but in these years, which young man who does not rely on his parents has more than a thousand dollars in his pocket?
It would have been a great thing.
As long as Xiao Lin agrees, the two of them will be together for a while!
"Uncle Li! Although I really want to agree! But you know! I have had a marriage contract since I was a child! I nominally have a fiancée! How can you tell me to agree?" Xiao Lin had a bitter face, and he didn't dare to look at Uncle Li, who was kind to him!
"Alas, I also know about your marriage contract, it is your grandfather's master, what is it to say that you are married! But in modern society, this has long been discouraged! Are you still clinging?" Hearing Xiao Lin's refusal, Uncle Li was not angry, he also knew that Xiao Lin had his own hardships!
This kid is so bitter!
Over the years, although several girls have taken a liking to him, he has endured and endured for the sake of that marriage contract!
To this day, he still has extravagant hopes for his fiancée who doesn't know what to do!
What to say about him!
"Wait a little longer, if there is really no news, I will promise you!okay?" Xiao Lin raised his head in embarrassment, glanced at Uncle Li, and seemed to have made up his mind!
"Lin Yan! There is your courier!" At this moment, a green three-wheeled mail truck came quickly, and the courier threw a package at Xiao Lin, "Pick it up!"
Lin Yan took the package with one hand steadily, with a curious expression, "I haven't shopped online recently?"
As he spoke, he opened the package curiously.
I saw a slightly quaint book in the package box!
On the cover, I also used a soft brush to thank four words upright!
Lin family tree
When he saw these four words, Lin Yan was stunned at first, and then his color gradually flushed, as if he was angry and excited!
He held up the yellowed book with trembling hands: "Uncle! This is my family tree!
"What?" Hearing Lin Yan say this, Uncle Li looked incredulous!
"That's right! After they disappeared, they also disappeared together!" Lin Yan excitedly opened the Lin family tree and looked at these familiar names!
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Brother, the family tree that disappeared together after they disappeared!"
"This is my family tree!" Lin Yan was so excited that he almost shed tears!
It's been five years, five whole years!
He still clearly remembers that that day was the day he went home after the college entrance examination, which was a happy thing, but who would have thought that he would return home.
Gone, everything is gone! The family is gone, the house is turned upside down, everything is gone!
Although I called the police, I didn't find anything!
In the past five years, Lin Yan only felt like a dark day.
He was almost frantically trying to find the truth of everything, but he couldn't find any clues.
He can only carry bricks day after day to feed himself, and then keep looking for them!
And now, the family tree that has disappeared for several years has been couriered back, and this means that he finally has a clue.
Lin Yan nervously and excitedly flipped through the family tree, page after page, for fear that he had missed something.
When it came to his night, Lin Yan uncharacteristically put together the family tree.
Lin Yan looked at Uncle Li solemnly, then took three steps back, and bowed deeply to Uncle Li, "Uncle, I'm sorry." I can't promise you! I'm leaving!"
"Go!" Uncle Li nodded, he also knew what this matter meant to Lin Yan, so he didn't force it anymore.
Lin Yan nodded gratefully, then turned around and left the place where he had worked for a long time.
Walking into the empty home, looking at the purity everywhere, a sour feeling rose from the depths of my heart to the corners of my eyes, and turned into tears.
Walking to the tablet of the ancestor in the middle hall, Lin Yan lit three cigarettes and knelt on the ground with a "poof".
He kowtowed three times reverently, "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the unfilial descendants of Lin Yan kowtow!"
"It has been five years since the family disappeared, and now the family tree has been returned, and the clues have finally been found. Ask the ancestors and ancestors to bless you on this trip, and you can find the whereabouts of your family!"
"Please also rest assured that the ancestors and ancestors have practiced martial arts for 23 years so far, and they do not seek to be proud of the opponents in the world, but they have also reached the realm of transformation early!
After speaking, Lin Yan kowtowed three times again before slowly getting up.
Sitting on a chair in the main hall, he opened the Lin family tree again.
This time, Lin Yan didn't flip through the pages one by one. Instead, I turned directly to my own page.
It is written with the words of the 132nd generation of the Lin family and the date of birth.
Lin Yan has been familiar with these since he was a child.
It's just that there's something more to it.
The one hundred and thirty-second generation descendant of the Lin family, Lin Xu's wife, Lin Xu Phoenix!
This family tree, Lin Yan read it countless times when he was a child, and he remembered very clearly that his page was not written by his fiancée.
And now that it has been written, it proves that there are still some things that I don't know!
Lin Yan pointed a point with his right hand and slowly crossed the blank space on this page.
Something surprising happened, only to see that the original blank space suddenly appeared a line of black beautiful small characters.
"My family is a father-in-law, five years of ups and downs, you are in the light, the concubine is in the dark, and finally find the traces of the elderly. Hurry up to Longxing Villa!
After reading this line of small characters, Lin Yan closed the family tree, carefully put it in his arms, and his eyes burst out with a fine light: "Longxing Villa!
"Pengcheng! It seems that this trip has to go!" Lin Yan at this moment was mature and steady, showing an old way that was completely unconvinced by his actual age.
