Chapter 1: Smoke rises from my ancestral grave
October 9, 2016, Chung Yeung Festival at 16:32
A silver Hiroben Sidi drove slowly on the mountain road, the body shook from time to time, and the potholed path was lined with some crazy trees and weeds, which made the already not wide mountain road look even narrower.
Squeak squeak
It was the screeching sound of tree branches on both sides of the mountain road scraping against the car door.
"It's over! I just got a stone scraping the chassis, and I guess this car will have to be overhauled when it goes back. ”
The driver is a middle-aged man with a big belly, and at the same time there is an old man and a young man sitting in the car, and in the co-pilot is a literary teenager with glasses, who looks like a gentleman, he is reading a novel with his mobile phone down, and the seat behind him is an old man of seventy or eighty years old, although he has half-white hair, but his face does not show oldness, and he looks very energetic.
Hearing the middle-aged man's complaint, the young man in the co-pilot turned his eyes off the mobile phone and turned to him, and then said with a smile:
"Dad, what are you going to repair when you go back? Just change to a new car, when I was a child, I thought your car was not bad, but now I feel that your two broken cars are too low. ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately glared and said angrily:
"You are a loser, what are you talking about! Change the car? Are you giving me money?"
The young man heard his father's roar, smiled slightly, picked up a large plastic bag under his feet, and then said with a smile:
"Okay, how much? Is a million enough? Not enough? 10 million?"
"You are a loser! How dare you fool your old man with a dark coin! How did I raise your turtle son? I'm really going to be angry with Lao Tzu!" the middle-aged man roared with a flushed face.
I saw the young man holding a black plastic bag, which was full of colorful money, Chen Yufan looked at the father who was driving and said this about him, so he continued to smile and said:
"I'm a turtle son, aren't you also an old turtle?"
"You're a Loser"
"Alright! Alright, can you two be quiet?"
Then the old man in the back seat spoke.
After the old man glanced at the middle-aged man driving in front of him with a dignified face, the middle-aged man wanted to continue, but he didn't dare to speak.
After Chen Yufan saw the old man speak, his father didn't dare to squeak, which made him secretly happy in his heart.
After seeing that his son and grandson had no intention of making trouble anymore, the old man turned his eyes to the forest outside the car window, and his mood gradually became complicated, as if he remembered a lot of things, and his heart was full of emotion, and he couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's coming, it's coming, the unfilial child has come to see his father." ”
This place is located in a place called Chenjiachong in Sichuan Province, where the terrain is complex, there are mountains, plains, and even a tributary of the Yangtze River, and there is a town and several villages nearby, with a combined population of less than 300,000.
At this time, the car was driving towards a site called Qingfeng Mountain, why is it called a ruin? There was indeed a mountain before, but since the establishment of the Huaxia Kingdom, the country encouraged childbirth, and with the explosive growth of the population, it was necessary to build many new houses at that time, so a brick factory was built in Qingfeng Mountain, and in less than 30 years, the whole mountain was hollowed out, and its blood and flesh were burned into red bricks.
As a result, the whole mountain slowly disappeared, and not only disappeared, but was also dug into the ground, forming a small pit with an area of more than 100,000 square meters.
The car is getting closer and closer to the site of Qingfeng Mountain, and the woods next to the mountain road are slowly beginning to thin out, and finally the three people in the car saw a pit in front of them that covers an extremely wide area, the pit is full of green weeds, not far from the giant pit, there are two stone piles protruding about one meter from the ground, and there is an old man in a white shirt standing next to it, and the car slowly drove to the stone pile and stopped.
The first to get out of the car is the short and fat middle-aged man, after getting out of the car hurriedly opened the door for the old man, the old man got out of the car, as if the sun was covered by a small half, this old man is one meter eight meters tall, the body seems to be very good, just looking at the skeleton can see that when he was young, he must have a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the old man's eyes are deep and vicissitudes, it is not difficult to see that he was definitely a man who stood up to the sky.
It's just that what makes people feel strange is why the middle-aged man who is his son is so short? The young man in the car also got out of the co-pilot, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and his skin was white and tender, which made people feel very delicate at first glance.
The old man standing next to the stone pile, since he saw the car, he was very excited, until the three of them got out of the car one after another, the old man immediately stepped forward, held the hand of the old man Chen and said:
"Brother, it's been more than 20 years, you must stay a few more days this time!"
"Okay" The old man was also very excited, the two clasped their hands tightly, and they wanted to say a lot of things, but they couldn't say it at this time.
"Old man, these two stone piles are the former Chen family archway?" Chen Yufan asked, pointing to the two broken stone piles.
The old man nodded.
"This is your grandson, brother, right? It's so old, it's the son of the fifth child, right?"
The old man smiled and nodded, looked back at Chen Yufan and said:
"It's called Grandpa Ge, and he'll take us to the ancestral grave later. ”
"Grandpa Ge, hello!" Chen Yufan is very well-behaved, I remember that the old man said that this old man is the village chief of a nearby village, how to say that he is also an official, how to do it if you are not welcome, and this Uncle Ge ancestor has a deep friendship with the Chen family.
"It's so good, the young man looks very good, I thought it was a girl at first, haha. ”
When the old man teased like this, several people laughed, but Chen Yufan was very calm, hey, I'm used to it.
"It's good that my son is a girl, so you don't have to be naughty all day long! Daddy Ge, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still in good health like the old man. ”
"Yes, Xiao Wu has been around for many years, remember, you were less than twenty years old when you left, and now your sons are about the same age as you were at the beginning, time flies so fast, your father and I are both old" Old man Ge couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, I saw Old Man Chen walking to the stone pile, stretching out his hand to caress the pile, and muttering alone.
Hey, it seems that there are quite a lot of stories about the old man, and I must dig it up when I have time, this time I worship my ancestors, I always have to find a few interesting things, Chen Yufan looked at his old man and thought like this.
Stretched,Take out the mobile phone from the purse in the chest,Look at the phone battery is only 18%,Damn,It looks like the battery of the novel is used so quickly unconsciously?Suddenly I feel bored.,Think about it's been out for two days.,Those girls don't know if they miss me?
I haven't played a game for two days, I don't know if Shabak has been taken down? The group of fools in his guild can't be relied on at all, and the day after tomorrow it seems that he will go climbing the mountain with a sister paper, and then watch the sunrise and talk about life or something, I don't know if I will catch up with it
Chen Yufan was thinking about some irrelevant things, and suddenly received a slap on the head.
"Loser, what the hell are you thinking?" Chen Yufan's father walked to the side and gave him a slap at some point.
"Dad, how could I come up with any ideas? You imagined me too badly, didn't you?" Chen Yufan smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean by imagination? You kid usually has a bad stomach, let me tell you, wait until you go to the ancestral grave, you give me honesty, otherwise you will suffer when you go back!"
"Okay, Dad, don't worry, I promised before I came, I won't be naughty. ”
"Hmph!
At this time, I saw Old Man Ge walking next to the old man, opened his mouth and sighed, and then said:
"Let's go, brother," he said, and took the lead and walked forward.
Only then did the old man come back to his senses and beckoned his children and grandchildren to follow Old Man Ge towards the east of the Qingfeng Mountain ruins.
Ancestor worship, this kind of thing is common, but three generations of people come to worship ancestors together is rare, especially in modern society, most people are very impetuous, and would rather take the time to worship ancestors to the grave to rest or work, and feel that it is more practical to make more money.
Nowadays, except for some rural areas, the tradition of worshipping ancestors and going to the grave is still maintained, and many people in big cities do not even know where their ancestors are buried, let alone worship their ancestors.
Of course, most people in China are still relatively traditional, and whenever they are in the Double Ninth Festival and Qingming Festival, they have organized their relatives to go to the Qing and go to the grave to worship their ancestors, which is commendable, which is also a traditional Chinese culture.
The old man glanced sideways at the huge pit overgrown with grass, sighed again, but did not stop and followed the old man Ge closely with his children and grandchildren.
The old man's name is Chen Qitai, there are eight in seventy this year, there are five sons, two daughters, four of which died soon after birth, the third son because the family could not support so many people at that time, so he passed on to others, and there are still three sons, two daughters, and now they have all formed their own families, and now the old man is living with the old man, that is, the fifth son.
This fifth son is the short and fat middle-aged man, he is still the most promising among several sons, he has also gone to high school before, although he has not studied in college, he is half an intellectual, and he is currently mixed well, he can't be said to be rich, but he is a little stronger than the average well-off.
A group of four people walked slowly for about ten minutes, passing through a small forest and a paddy field that was not almost muddy, and came to the bottom of three side by side hills.
"It's here, brother, shall we rest for a while, or shall we go up now?"
"If you don't worry, go straight up"
The old man shook his hand, and walked up first.
Chen Yufan immediately stepped forward to hold the old man's arm and walked up together, thinking that the destination had finally arrived, and it took two days to get to his ancestral grave, so he must get to know it well, otherwise it is still the Chen family?
"Have you arrived? On this hill is the ancestral tomb of our Chen family? Who are the other two hills where they are buried?"
Without waiting for the old man to answer, the old man Ge on the side heard Chen Yufan's question, so he replied with a smile:
"Oh, the other two hills don't bury anyone, these three hills, only the middle is a tomb, which constitutes the feng shui pattern of 'jade clam with pearls'. ”
Chen Yufan's eyes lit up and he immediately asked:
"Jade mussels with pearls, feng shui is still so exquisite, listening to the name is very good, our Chen family's ancestral tomb should be regarded as a treasure cave, right?"
"Yes!" said the old man beside him, but he didn't say anything more.
After climbing this hill, which can only be regarded as a hill, Chen Yufan immediately saw that there was indeed a bare circular tomb on the top of the mountain, and there was a tombstone with the inscription:
"Chen Longting, the word Xianyi, was born on the eighth day of April in the 32nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1906), the first son Chen Qiji, the second son Chen Qixiang, the third son Chen Qiru, the fourth son Chen Qiyi, the fifth son Chen Qihong, the sixth son Chen Qitai, the seventh son Chen Qi'an, the eighth son Chen Qikang"
A two-meter-high tombstone is not only engraved with the name of the ancestor, but also engraved on the family tree, according to the genealogy, this Chen Longting is his father-in-law, that is, my grandfather's father.
Eight sons and four daughters? Do you want to do this? It seems that the old man is still the sixth son of the prince.
Auspicious, Hongtai Ankang, the name can be taken so connotatively, admire!
But why is there only the birthday of the prince on the tombstone, but there is no date of death? I had a question in my heart, and I was about to ask, but suddenly I saw a hole thirty centimeters wide above the tomb, straight down
What is this? Is there this big rat hole?
"Grandpa, how is there a hole in the grave of the prince?" Chen Yufan couldn't help but ask.
The old man and Old Man Ge didn't seem to be very surprised, but Chen Yufan's father jumped up in fright, and then Old Man Ge said:
"A few years ago, there were some geological expeditions who came, and the tomb was stolen the next day. After speaking, Old Man Ge pointed to the hole.
Only the old man and the old man Ge knew about this matter.
"Grass, Ni, Ma, what a lack of morality, dig people's ancestral graves, you are not afraid of cutting off your children and grandchildren!" Chen Yufan's father scolded very excitedly.
Chen Yufan was also angry, and the swear words came as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Lao Tzu is a fairy! grass! Ni Ma! I want to cut this kind of person with a knife when I see it! I will kill it once I see it! I robbed my cemetery and gave birth to a son who has no asshole, and gives birth to a daughter with a palm."
The old man and the old man Ge ignored the pair, the father and son who were excited, but they looked at each other helplessly, and then took out incense, candles, banknotes and other items to go to the grave, when the two of them knew the news of the theft of the tomb, the anger they showed was no worse than that of Chen Yufan and his son.
"No wonder! I've been unlucky for the past few years! It turns out that my grandfather's ancestral grave was dug up!" said Yu Fan's father.
After Chen Yufan was angry, he also felt helpless, the tomb robbers actually dared to pretend to be national geological personnel, they must have been prepared in advance, now the tomb of the prince has been stolen, and the scolding is just a psychological comfort, I used to read tomb robbery novels, that is because I think it is very exciting and fresh, but when it is your own ancestral tomb that is stolen, do you still feel excited?
"Grandpa, can I go up and have a look?" Chen Yufan said as he looked at the old man.
Seeing that the old man nodded, Chen Yufan climbed to the top of the Taigong tomb several times, and looked at the thirty centimeter-wide thief hole extending straight down, it seemed that the diameter of the thief hole had also changed, and gradually expanded, and suddenly Chen Yufan saw a trace of green smoke in the cave slowly rising up.
At this time, while the three people below were arranging the worship items, they heard the old man speak:
"If you steal it, you will steal it, my father's tomb is a double coffin, there are not many burial goods in it, and the only thing of value is a long-life lock. ”
"Is that thing valuable?" asked Yufan's father.
"Well, it's made of gold. ”
"Rub the gold?"
Chen Yufan couldn't help but be scared when he watched the green smoke in the thief cave get more and more out, and was about to go down, but when he thought that this was the tomb of his grandfather, even if there was any problem, I, as a descendant, should not run away!
I saw a golden light shoot out, flying out of a golden ring-shaped ornament, and hit Chen Yufan's chest in one fell swoop!
He fainted on the spot!
At the moment of dizziness, there was only one sentence in his mind:
"My ancestral grave is smoking, our family is about to drag the rhythm of the cool hanging sky!"
