Chapter 1024: The Only Clue Left

"Grandma, this is my friend's ......" Yueya hurriedly explained, "He was abducted from his home since he was a child, and he only knows his surname Du, and now he wants to find his family, so he will follow me back to see if there is any news in our village......"

"Ouch, poor child!" When the grandmother heard this, she unconsciously took Xu Zhi's hand and said, "Human traffickers are really evil!"

"Mother......" Du Zhaoming frowned beside him, "I don't seem to have heard that our village has lost a child?"

"Sit first, sit first!" Du Zhaoye hurriedly said, "We don't know, it doesn't mean that others don't know, if not, just ask the police station." ”

Xu Zhi smiled, instead of asking the police station, it was better to ask Tianping, Xu Zhi still wanted to find clues by himself, and casually take a look at the current situation of the Du family.

Everyone sat down, Yueya poured a glass of water for grandma, grandma took a sip, thought for a while and shook her head: "San'er's is right, I don't know what happened more than 30 years ago, anyway, there were a lot of people with surnames in the village at that time, and now they are dead and scattered, you can only go to the police station to ask." ”

Xu Zhi's heart moved, and he asked, "Auntie, how many families in the village were surnamed thirty years ago?"

"At that time, there were about twenty households!" Grandma squinted her eyes and said, "When San'er and his father were young, more than half of the people in the village had the surname, in fact, this village was originally called Dujiazhuang, and the people who lived in it were all Du family, and there was a patriarch in the village before liberation, and then it was suppressed by the local tyrants, and San'er's father was also a rich peasant, and he almost ......."

Grandma recalled the past, which was somewhat similar to Du Zhaoming, it was not easy to brake, and she talked for about 20 minutes. Although he said that he had nothing to do with Xu Zhi, it was a pity that he felt very uncomfortable listening to it, because every sentence has the sadness of being a member of the Du family, and every sentence carries the blood and tears of the Du family.

After Grandma finished speaking, Xu Zhi said in a low voice: "Auntie, I have actually looked for the police station before, and they have also checked the records of the year, and there are some records of missing children, but it has nothing to do with me." To tell you the truth, I also went to other places in our Shuinan Province, and even Xishan Province, Guangyue Province and other places where there are capitals, but there are no clues. Later, Xu Zhituo's friends in the army asked, and according to their speculation, my origin may be in Qinyang, in the most orthodox branch of the Dujia......"

Grandma looked at Xu Zhi, looked at it carefully, first nodded, then shook her head, saw that Yueya was quite puzzled, shook her grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, what do you mean, why are you nodding and shaking your head again!"

"You kid, what's the hurry!" Grandma smiled, "What I mean by nodding is that this child is handsome, different from others, and looks like a descendant of the Du family, you don't know, the patriarch was the purest blood in our village, and his child is really good-looking." However, even if it is the patriarch's child, he doesn't look as handsome as this child. ”

Yueya was stunned, looked at Xu Zhi, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Xu Zhi knew that Yueya wanted to talk about himself, so he hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what do you mean by shaking your head?"

"I shook my head and meant, after the patriarch was suppressed, his children were first reformed in the village, and then their whereabouts were unknown, and their lives and deaths were unknown!

"Auntie......" Xu Zhi smiled and asked, "Think about it, who else knows besides you?"

"Who else, no one else!" Grandma shook her head, "No one in the village has the surname Du to live to be fifty years old, and no one who is over fifty years old has the surname Du ......."

"Grandma......" Yueya's face turned a little pale, and she said in a low voice, "Could it be that the rumors in the village are all true?"

"Renshu!" Grandma sighed and replied, "Whether it's feudal superstition, grandma doesn't know, but grandma knows, our family name is ...... It's all like that!"

"I ...... I ......" Yueya gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to die so early!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Grandma hugged Yueya and comforted, "Your name is Yueya now, and you won't live less than fifty." ”

Grandma coaxed Yueya as a child, but Yueya's eyes were still panicked, she was already in her twenties, thinking that she would not live to be fifty, where would she be calm?

"Mother, I don't know if Grandma Ren from Deng Village is still alive......" Du Zhaoming asked tentatively.

It's a pity that before Du Zhaoming finished speaking, his grandmother scolded: "The one who killed a thousand knives has created a lifetime of sin, and he should have died a long time ago!"

Xu Zhi didn't know why, Du Zhaoye hurriedly poured water for Grandma Yueya, and said with a smile: "That's, don't say anything else, just say that she tricked you to our house, you should be killed!"

"Hmph, no!" grandma snorted coldly, "She said that you are all in the sky, as if everyone is the stars in the sky, but after I came, I realized that my life is over!"

"Mother......" Du Zhaoye smiled, "You didn't tell your father like that before!"

Grandma glanced at Du Zhaoye, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face: "Your father is really good, but it's a pity that the surname is Du, otherwise the family wouldn't be like this." ”

"Auntie, if the uncle doesn't have a surname, it is estimated that he will not have such a great charm!"

"Alas, yes, I won't tell you anything, that day Grandma Ren took me to see your father, and when I looked at it from a distance, I fell in love, and there are no such atmospheric young men in our village......" Grandma sighed and said a few words, and then the words suddenly turned and scolded, "But the Ren Qi clan who killed a thousand knives didn't make the affairs of the Du family clear, I am full of satisfaction and want to live with your father for the rest of my life, who knows that he will leave before he is forty!"

Xu Zhi asked Du Zhaoming in a low voice, "Grandma Ren is a matchmaker?"

"Well......" Du Zhaoming looked at Yueya to comfort his grandmother, and also lowered his voice and said, "If Grandma Ren is alive, she will be ninety years old now, and before liberation, she was a famous matchmaker within a radius of hundreds of miles......!" It is said that she has something to do with the previous patriarch, so she is very good to our family, and she is the matchmaker for many marriages in the village. She was also implicated in the patriarch's affairs, and she also suffered a lot when she broke the four olds, but there were too many people who received her favor, and with the help of everyone, she survived, and now, to be honest, if it weren't for you, I would have forgotten that there was such a person!"

While Xu Zhi was talking, Yueya tried to ask her grandmother again, but her grandmother really didn't know more information about the Du family, so Xu Zhi got up and said goodbye, Yueya hesitated for a moment and stayed at home to accompany her grandmother, while Du Zhaoming ignored Xu Zhi's persuasion and accompanied Xu Zhi Xu Zhi to get into the car.

Deng Village is not far from Hujia Village, it takes about 20 minutes by car, and Deng Village is also on the side of the river, but when Xu Zhi and others arrived, there were no children in the stream, only a few women were washing clothes. Du Zhaoye stopped the car, Du Zhaoming took Xu Zhi over to ask, and several women listened to Du Zhaoming ask Grandma Ren, but they were all at a loss, and Xu Zhi felt a "chuckle" in his heart. However, Du Zhaoming was not in a hurry, and took Xu Zhi into the village again, and asked the oldest family surnamed Du in the village.

Sure enough, the village party secretary and the village chief checked the information and told the three that Grandma Ren was a lonely old man who was sent to a nursing home in the county ten years ago, and they didn't know whether she was dead or alive. As for the phone number of the nursing home, the village did not leave it, so Xu Zhi and others could only find it by themselves.

Leaving Deng Village, Du Zhaoye drove to the county civil affairs bureau again, fortunately, the nursing home that existed ten years ago was managed by the county civil affairs bureau, but it was easy to find the address, and by the time Xu Zhi and others crossed the county seat to the suburbs, it was already twilight.

The nursing home is very dilapidated, looking at the building in the dim sun, the feeling of the waning sun involuntarily arises from the bottom of everyone's hearts.

Hearing that Xu Zhi was looking for Grandma Ren, the staff who were originally ignorant of the answer moved, and hurriedly asked, "Are you Grandma Ren's relatives?"

"This ......" Du Zhaoye hesitated for a moment and replied, "Sort of!"

"Great!" said the man, "Grandma Ren is dying, you can go and have a look, no one has come to see her for several years, wait until you see her, sign by the way!"

"Sign?" Du Zhaoming was stunned and asked, "What are you signing?"

"After the death of the elderly in our nursing home, whatever they want to do to be cremated, they must have the signature of their relatives......"

Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, Du Zhaoye sneered, "Do you still have some expenses?"

"Hehe...... the man laughed dryly, "most of the fees are paid by the government, and you can't pay much." ”

"Okay!" Xu Zhi waved his hand impatiently, "We'll give you the money in a while, take us to see Grandma Ren!"

Grandma Ren was a thin old man, with a skinny face that looked like a skeleton, and she lay in the dimly lit hut, her two cloudy eyes slightly long, staring at the roof, her mouth open, exhaling more breath than inhaling.

No one was watching in front of Grandma Ren's bed, and when Xu Zhi came in, the old man didn't even roll his eyes.

"Alas......" Xu Zhi sighed slightly, he had already heard the old man's heartbeat slowing down more and more, and sure enough, it was the last moment.

Walking to the old man's bed, Xu Zhi bit his lip and squatted down, leaned into the old man's ear and said: "Grandma, I am a descendant of the Du family, I was taken away from the Du family when I was a child, and now I have grown up, I want to come back to find my roots, I know that Shuinan Qinyang has the roots of the Du family, and I also know that the bloodline of our Du family is the purest human blood on the earth, I want to ask you, where do I go to find my home......"

The old man listened to Xu Zhi's words, and there was no change, but when Xu Zhi said "the purest human bloodline on the earth", her eyeballs actually moved, and then looked at Xu Zhi with difficulty, but when she saw Xu Zhi, her eyes did not move again.
