Chapter 12 Old age

It is said that the fisherman brother has not finished catching fish in the river over there. Zhao Xixi is afraid that the two big snakes will come back again, so Song Yijin can't resist her, so the four of them get on the shore and drive to the fishing village first. Waiting for the fisherman brother.

Seeing that it was still early, the four of them went to the fishing park first, where they strolled around and waited for the fisherman brother. Originally, Song Yijin wanted to pay a visit when Jiang Xiaobao said that the temple at the entrance of the village was the Fishing Taigong Temple. However, he was afraid that the fisherman brother would not be able to find anyone when he came to look for him, so he had to give up temporarily.

At this time Chen Mingzhi said: "Jiang Xiaobao, you said last time that you got a brick in this park. Did you bring it today? What is engraved on it?"

Jiang Xiaobao said: "Oh, I didn't bring it. Didn't I go to my cousin's house yesterday? I didn't go back. The stone is still at home."

Chen Mingzhi said: "It doesn't matter, I'll look at it when I get back. "

Zhao Xixi also said: "Let's take a look here first. This fishing park is quite unique. After all, the Yangtze River Delta region is economically developed. Even villages in the countryside have parks. It's amazing. , We only have parks in the county.”

Chen Mingzhi said: “Where is this? The places south of the Yangtze River are the developed areas of the Yangtze River Delta. The developed areas include Wuxi, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. Shanghai."

"That's too far away," Song Yijin said.

Why is this place called a fishing park? Zhao Xixi asked.

Jiang Xiaobao said: "Because this place used to be where Jiang Ziya and Taigong Jiang lived. After he left this place, people built a park here to commemorate him. These are all recorded."

After a while, the fisherman brother came over.

"You've been waiting for a long time. Now go to my house and I will make tea for you." The fisherman brother said enthusiastically.

Jiang Xiaobao: "Okay, brother, will it take up your time if we come today?"

"It's okay, no delay, no delay, my dad just came over to help me. The fish in the cabin are picked up and sent to the fishmongers. I have nothing to do now." The fisherman brother showed the four or five big fish in his hand and said, "I have fish for lunch. I have a lot of lobsters at home."

"Brother, that's really troublesome for you. In this case, you guys go back first and I'll buy a pack of cigarettes. I'll be there in a minute. Just tell me how to get to your house." Song Yijin touched his pocket. Said a little embarrassed.

The fisherman brother pointed forward: "Go south on this cement road. There is a garbage classification sign. The door is red. I don't smoke, and I usually don't put cigarettes in my bag."

There was a small shop at the entrance of the village where he had just entered. Song Yijin took two boxes of yogurt, two bottles of liquor and one box of beer, and added two packs of cigarettes. It was rare for the boss to have a big customer, so he quickly called his wife out to help Song Yijin deliver the goods to his door.

Song Yijin pointed to the south bank and said it was the area where fish nets were used in the river.Home.

The landlady said enthusiastically: "I know, Xiao Qian's family."

When the fisherman brother saw Song Yijin buying so many things, he became anxious: "Brother, why are you so polite and buy so many things?" What to do? How can I bear it?"

Song Yijin said embarrassedly: "Jiang Xiaobao has already troubled you before, and we are here to trouble you again. It's just a thought. Don't take offense. , Hahaha. "

In terms of interpersonal skills, Song Yijin is the one who is not related to the family. It is a bit outrageous for four people to eat at the fisherman's eldest brother's house without buying something, and it is not etiquette-friendly.

The fisherman brother quickly invited everyone to drink tea: "We are all brothers, feel free."

"Your village seems to have a long history. I just saw what I saw when I entered the village. Is the temple the Jiang Taigong Temple that Jiang Xiaobao mentioned?" Zhao Xixi said.

"Yes, that is Jiang Taigong Temple. Jiang Taigong is our protector. People come from all directions. It was not called Fishing Village before. I heard from the old man that it was called Shangweizhuang. Jiang Taigong came here. It’s called a fishing village after fishing,” said the fisherman brother.

"So, your village was called Shangweizhuang a thousand years ago. Is it an ancient name?" Zhao Xixi asked, and she confirmed again.

The fisherman said, yes.

"Then have you heard about where the ancient Laowaizui Village was?" Zhao Xixi asked, with a little eager expectation in her eyes, because since the Diaoyu Village was built more than a thousand years ago, Everyone knows the name of the old village, so the origin of Laowaizui Village is likely to be clear, and the records in ancient books should be based on it.

"Don't worry, we can do it slowly." Song Yijin interrupted.

"It's okay. We can visit the old man in our village later. Jiang Xiaobao went there last time. The old man knows a lot and is a famous know-it-all." The fisherman brother comforted him.

"It's better to act than to have a heartbeat. Either we go now. Sorry, I can't wait." Zhao Xixi said.

The fisherman brother went to the yard and took some big river clams and said he would bring them to the old man. The five people walked out of the gate and arrived.

The fisherman brother said: "There are not many people in the village now. Most of them go out to do business or go to work. Therefore, almost all the old people in the village are left behind. If you can see someone coming to see him, even if he is I was so happy to come to him to borrow money."

"The door is open, and the old man is at home." Jiang Xiaobao walked ahead and found that the old man's door was open and there was no one in the yard, so he went in. He shouted, it looked very familiar.

"Grandpa, is grandpa at home?" Jiang Xiaobao shouted.

"Here I am, I'm at home every day." With these words, I saw a figure slowly walking out of the house. I took a closer look and saw that this person was not the old man from before? He was smiling and his eyes showed great kindness and joy.

When he saw a group of people walking into the house, a bright smile immediately bloomed on the old man's face, like a flower blooming in spring. His originally somewhat cloudy eyes became brighter at this moment, shining with excitement. He quickly turned around and took out a lot of chocolate candies from the cabinet drawer at home.

This feeling was like returning to When you are young, you are full of energy and vitality. Everyone comes with stories and dreams, making the entire space filled with a vibrant atmosphere. The old man couldn't help but sigh: "I'm so happy to see you young people here!"

"Grandpa, I had a great time chatting with you last time. I missed you again today, so I came to see you again." Jiang Xiaobao pulled the old man and asked him to sit down.

"Oh, okay, okay. If you have any questions, you can ask them. As long as I know, I will tell you." The old man said happily.

At this time, Zhao Xixi moved the stool over, got closer to the old man, and said: "Grandpa, I am from Xi'an, and I am classmates with Jiang Xiaobao. That handsome young man is called Chen Mingzhi, who is from Jiang Xiaobao's village. One brother is Jiang Xiaobao’s eldest cousin. ”

A group of young people coaxed the old man into confusion. No wonder the business of elderly health care products and low-cost tour groups for the elderly is so good now. , as long as there is a cantaloupe mouth.

"Okay, okay, hahaha, you all have dinner here at noon. Grandpa will cook for you and make two ounces of soju to drink." The old man said enthusiastically.

The fisherman brother said, "Grandpa, my family has prepared the food. I brought you some river clams that you like to eat. I will help you with them in a while. You can make soup with pickled vegetables at noon. Eat, you will get something fresh."

Zhao Xixi peeled off a piece of candy and gave it to the old man. Then she got to the point and said, "Grandpa, I heard that we are together. In ancient times, there was a village called Lao Waizui. Have you heard of it? ”

“Ah, Lao Wai Zui, that was a long, long time ago. It was Taigong’s dojo, and that was me.” When I was a child, my grandfather's grandfather told stories from generation to generation. That place was amazing. During the Song Dynasty, the Jin people fought there." The old man paused, took a few sips from his tea cup, and continued. Said: "If you mention Lao Waizui, no one will know about it. If you mention Hebeng Village, there should be many old people who know it. I don't know what its name is now. My grandfather said that it is a treasure land. There is Song Zhenren there." I'm protecting him."

When the old man mentioned Song Zhenren, Song Yijin's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything and listened to the old man quietly.

At this time, the old man put his palms down on the table and said mysteriously and seriously: "The reason why Taigong came to our place to fish back then was also because of Lao Waizui. That place is not simple. Although no one has seen the true face of Song Zhenren, Song Zhenren is still in the hearts of the people.He is the man of God. When there was a great flood one year, probably in 1997, some people saw two dragons in the sky in the wasteland of Yelaoguozhuang. It is said that they were summoned by Master Song to suppress the flood. "

Everyone's eyes were wide open at this time, and they didn't dare to express their anger.

"Oh my god, it's so mysterious. This is simply a modern fairy tale. Grandpa, so Lao Wai Zui is still here, and Master Song is the patron saint of Lao Wai Zui Village. We consulted the deputy director of the county archives yesterday and he said that the historical Laowaizui Village was destroyed during the Southern Song Dynasty and that there is no such village now. " Zhao Xixi said.

"Baby, life is far more exciting than stories! My grandfather said that the Song family is a hereditary protector, and the mysterious mission has been passed down from generation to generation. The Taigong has a deep connection with the Song family. "The old man said.

"Grandpa, which village is the Song family in? " Zhao Xixi asked.

The old man smoothed his beard with two fingers, squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know about this. If you want to know this, you have to go to Mr. Song. But it is not easy to find Zhenren Song. He is not an ordinary person. Where can he be found? But..."

The old man looked at Jiang Xiaobao and Chen Mingzhi and said, "Are you two from Yelao Guozhuang? "

Jiang Xiaobao nodded quickly: "Yes, Grandpa, tell me quickly, does this have something to do with our Ye Lao Guo Village? "

"Yes, if you want to find Zhenren Song and figure out where Lao Waizui is, I can give you a direction. You go to Ye Laoguo Village to visit. Legend has it that Zhenren Song has There is a junior brother in the wild Lao Guo Village. His junior brother is a mortal. He is now over 90 years old and lives in that village. He has never married a wife and has no children. I believe it will not be difficult for you to find him. "The old man said.

"It can't be the second master, right? There are not many elderly people in their 90s in our village. The second master has never been married and has no children. Xiaobao, what do you think, is he the second master? " Chen Mingzhi said.

Jiang Xiaobao didn't dare to speak, and Song Yijin didn't dare to talk, because the two cousins ​​had a common secret to keep and couldn't tell.

"Jiang Xiaobao has been here all the time. Studying outside, the situation in the village is no longer very familiar. "Zhao Xixi reconciled.

Yes, yes. Jiang Xiaobao nodded quickly.

But the old man told these words, which made Song Yijin feel a little uneasy. Although it was a story, these were all It has something to do with his great-great-grandfather, who is his great-great-grandfather. He said it personally and asked not to reveal it.

Is it up to him to solve the mystery of this ancient village? He began to grant himself Tao Wu, but the mission of inheriting it was not mentioned yet, and he didn’t know what it was. Maybe he was talking about inheriting Tao Wu.

"Big cousin. , what are you doing? "Chen Mingzhi gently used his hands toAfter giving Song Yijin a gentle push, the latter came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Oh...it's nothing." Song Yijin muttered to himself, seeming to still be immersed in his own thoughts.

"Cousin, don’t be distracted! Take a look, what should we do next? The answer to all the twists and turns is still hidden in our own Yelaoguo Village Ah. " Chen Mingzhi said anxiously, with a trace of confusion and confusion in his eyes.

Song Yijin took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to think carefully. He frowned slightly, took a cigarette from his pocket, popped one for the old man, lit it again, and gave each of the others a cigarette. After lighting it himself, he took a deep breath and stared into the distance, as if to see through the distance. See the truth through the fog.

After a while, Song Yijin slowly said: "Well, it seems that we have to visit the second master of Ye Laoguo Village as grandpa said. There may be some places that we have ignored before, or there may be some Some key information was not found. "

Chen Mingzhi nodded and agreed: "Yes, cousin, let's go to Ye Lao Guo Village now. Maybe we can find something new. Discovered! "

Song Yijin thought about it and felt that this was the only feasible way at the moment. So the four of them decided to go back to Yelaoguo Village in the afternoon after having lunch at the fisherman's house.

During the meal, because the fisherman brother is a good drinker and very hospitable, everyone must have a glass. There was no other way. The four of them decided to nominate one person to drive, and the four of them rushed to drive. So the fisherman brother suggested rock-paper-scissors to solve the problem. In the end, Zhao Xixi won without any suspense.

Although the men obviously wanted to drink, they were still rushing to drive. The four men knew each other tacitly, but Zhao Xixi could not see through the men's thoughts.

Soon the five of them had finished three bottles of liquor. Frankly speaking, the meal was really enjoyable. Jiang Xiaobao was already dying, and he was talking nonsense all over the world.

The fisherman brother seemed to be a little drunk, and his originally strong face actually showed a hint of vulnerability and sadness. As the topic deepened, this dignified seven-foot-old man burst into tears without any scruples. Tears poured out like a flood, as if to vent all the anguish and depression in my heart.

His voice was choked with sobs, and he blamed himself frankly: "I am such a useless waste! Ever since I retired from the army, I have been guarding the three-quarter acre of land at home all day long, and occasionally catching a few fish. I can exchange a few fish for some money, but I don’t even have the slightest idea of ​​going out to join the society. Now I am almost thirty years old, but I haven’t even got a wife..." As he spoke, he cried more and more heartbroken. .

As the saying goes, a man bleeds but does not shed tears, but at this moment, this fisherman brother showed his true feelings and spoke the truth after drinking. Seeing his peers around him getting married and starting businesses, surrounded by children, he was still alone and lonely. This sharp contrast made himFeeling more painful and helpless. Every time I think about this, my heart feels as painful as a knife being twisted.
