Chapter 220 Nanta Village on the Back Mountain of Yanshan
Feng Yu slept peacefully at the Crescent Hotel last night. Thinking of what happened along the way, he talked to Wang Shuxiu together. Although he didn't say where he went, Wang Shuxiu didn't ask. She just listened quietly. Feng Yu
Whatever you say, she listens to.
She knows that the Feng family is engaged in underground business, and there will be many secrets in it. She is a woman who understands the general situation. She just needs to be herself. If she is not supposed to know, she will never ask more questions. At this point, Feng Qing is not interested in such a secret.
The daughter-in-law has nothing to say. Wang Shu has a beautiful appearance and a smart mind. She is a steady and knowledgeable person. She is filial to her parents-in-law and manages the internal affairs of the Feng family. She is a daughter-in-law who is hard to find no matter how hard it is to hold a lantern.
The only thing I feel regretful about is that after marrying into the Feng family for many years, I only have children. No one in the Feng family dares to say anything about this.
The relationship between Feng Yu and Wang Shuxiu is very delicate. They spend less time together and often apart, and they rarely communicate with each other on weekdays. This time they haven't seen each other for a long time. Feng Yu and Wang Shuxiu talked about many things in Xing'an Mountains. The so-called love is that it grows over time.
Emotional.
By the time it was noon, Feng Qing still hadn't come back. The family gathered around the table and had a meal to celebrate Feng Yu's return. The aunts were very enthusiastic and kept asking after each other.
Feng Er hurried out before noon. He didn't leave any words about what he was going to do. He just asked them not to wait for him. Feng Yu was very surprised that he hadn't come back for half a year. What on earth were these two old guys doing?
As usual, father Feng Qing is the one who is most worried. If the Feng family falls into his hands, it may be difficult for him to meet his ancestors underground.
After lunch, Feng Yu couldn't sit still at home. He asked Wang Shuxiu about the recent developments of his father and second uncle, and indeed found some problems.
Wang Shuxiu is the daughter-in-law of the Feng family, and what Feng Qing does is naturally not her place to say. After Feng Yu's repeated questioning, she came to some unexpected things. These two old guys were indeed making moves.
Yanshan has been used by the Feng family since Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital from Yingtian Prefecture to the capital. The territory of Yanshan is not large, but it has belonged to the Feng family since the Ming Dynasty until the Qing army entered the pass at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Yanshan was sparsely populated.
The place no longer belongs to the Feng family, but there are not many people in Yanshan.
Yanshan is not big, with a length and breadth of less than a few hundred miles. No one can explain clearly what the Feng family did in Yanshan during the hundreds of years of the Ming Dynasty. Coincidentally, what Feng Yu learned from Wang Shuxiu was about Yanshan.
things on.
The story starts from last winter. The winter of 1927 was extremely cold. Generally speaking, the weather was freezing. Feng Yu was not in the mood to go to the shops in the city to take care of business. He stayed at home, warming the stove and reading books.
Feng Yu has never suffered any hardship since he has been accustomed to this kind of life since he was a child.
From that time on, Feng Yu noticed that his father would run behind Yanshan Mountain every now and then. Feng Yu followed him quietly once, but he seemed to have been discovered. He let his father throw him away on the way, and when he came back, he also
I'm embarrassed to ask, maybe dad is going to meet his lover? It's always hard to talk about it.
I learned from Wang Shuxiu that since he left, his father went to the back mountain more and more frequently. He didn’t know what he was doing. He only said that he had something to do, and he specifically told Wang Shuxiu that unless there was something special,
Otherwise, no one should go to him.
Naturally, Wang Shuxiu didn't say anything to anyone about this. The Feng family usually did little things, and the second uncle could help half of the things in the shop. Later, the second uncle also gradually
After running up the mountain, Wang Shuxiu realized what had happened.
It turned out that a heavy rain in late autumn last year washed away the burial place on Yanshan Mountain, and several graves belonging to the Feng family were washed out. Father Fengqing was busy moving the graves on the back mountain.
After Feng Yu found out, he had no intention of going to the back mountain to help. He probably felt that he couldn't get off the stage like this and had to wait for his father to say it himself. People are good at face, and Feng Yu was no exception.
In the next few days, my father still didn't come back, and my second uncle also disappeared. Others didn't know it, but Feng Yu knew very well that these two old guys must be on the back mountain, but it seemed too inconvenient to go there by himself.
It’s a loss of face. Feng Yu thought that he must keep calm and wait for his father to come back. He went to Xing’an Mountains and almost lost his life there. No matter what, he had to tell the old man the story of the Immortal King’s Palace. Let’s take a look.
What did he think?
The dangerous thing about Feng Yu's encounter in Xing'anling was not mentioned to Wang Shuxiu at all. He reported good news but not bad news. His family members were worried that Wang Shuxiu had a soft temper. If he knew that such dangerous and weird situations were surrounding him, he might be killed.
Secretly, one person cried anxiously.
Half a month later, Feng Yu couldn't stay idle at home. He went to the city of Beiping and took a look at the shops and stalls under Feng's house. The few that were open were barely hanging on, and most of the pawn shops and antique shops had closed down.
, it’s not that it can’t be run, but it’s that the change of owners these days is faster than God’s change of attitude. The warlords have been fighting for nearly seven or eight years. In the end, it is the National Government that benefits.
Feng Yu heard that Commissioner Jiang would be the new chairman of the committee in Nanjing. This old Jiang Feng Yu heard Lu Guangcheng mention that he was a tough nut to crack, with unique methods and no room for error.
Feng Yu is a small person, he doesn't care what happens outside, as long as he can live his own life well.
Zhang Xiuxian said that he wanted to stay with his mother for a while when he returned. His mother was a simple person and did not want to live in Beiping City. Instead, she lived in Changshan, Hebei Province. However, Lu Guangcheng had a large house in Beiping City and did not live there much on weekdays.
, and Zhang Xiuxian basically stayed in the Crescent Hotel even when he arrived in Peiping. The only use of this house was probably for playing cards.
There is no peace in the city of Peiping. After the Northeastern Army changed its banner, the warlords in the surrounding areas collapsed suddenly, leaving behind each one of them. Therefore, in order to protect the ancient capital from harm, the newly appointed mayor of Peiping Special Government, He Qigong, worked overtime.
The troops were mobilized to guard Beiping City.
Feng Yu didn't stay long in the city. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he returned to Yanshan earlier during this special period. After doing this again and again, Feng Yu felt even more anxious.
So Feng Yu told Wang Shuxiu that he had to go to the back mountain to take a look. The relocation of the Feng family's tombs was a major event. It had been so long since it had been completed, so maybe there was some problem.
It's all about saving face and suffering. This is what Feng Yu is saying. If he could have figured this out a long time ago, is there any need to go through this trouble?
Wang Shuxiu nodded in agreement, and Feng Yu was very pleased. If a woman could do what Wang Shuxiu did, there was no need to say more.
After packing his things, Feng Yu went to the back mountain the next day.
No one lived in the back mountain of Yanshan Mountain long ago. Later, after the Qing army entered the customs, Yanshan no longer belonged to the Feng family. Only then did people from the south build a village in the back mountain of Yanshan Mountain. Feng Yu visited it once when he was a child. The place was called
South Tower Well.
Last winter, Feng Yu followed his lost father near this village. If he wanted to find where his father was, going to this village was the key.
Feng Yu rarely came to Yanshan Mountain, so he found the place quickly. From the outside, the village didn’t look too old. There were many old yellow mud houses built along the mountain. The houses were indeed very old.
It is difficult to study what the beams inside the house are made of.
Most of them are occupied by the elderly, and some of them are empty houses with no owners anymore. The structures are tilted and may collapse at any time.
Feng Yu is here for the first time. The Feng family house is in the front mountain of Yanshan Mountain. It has an excellent location and almost occupies the best place on Yanshan Mountain. The village in the back mountain is obviously not in a good location. The reason why it was built here at that time may just be because it is next to the mountain.
There is not much to pay attention to when it comes to mouth spring wells.
Nantajing is located at the foot of the mountain. It is named after the spring well and a dilapidated wooden pagoda in the village. There are almost no people in Nantajing. There are only a dozen families, mostly old people, and the young ones have gone out to find other ways to make a living.
The old ones who can't walk are left here to die.
Although it is only separated by a mountain, in fact, Feng Yu has been to this place in the south so many times that he can count it on one hand. Feng Yu always feels that it is in the valley of the south mountain and the road is inconvenient.
The first time I came back from Beiping City, there was a road directly to the north that could go up and down the mountain, but there was only one road leading to the south.
On Nanshan Mountain, many ancestors of the Feng family are buried here. Feng Yu most often comes to Nanshan to burn paper money, and it is also at the top of Nanshan Mountain. He rarely comes down here.
Feng Yu entered the village. The place was not big, and several houses had their courtyard doors open. Soon, Feng Yu saw his father, Feng Qing, his second uncle, and three or five elders with other surnames from the Feng family. These elders were all
The descendants of Grandpa Feng Yu's father's uncles and brothers are far apart from each other, but counting up, they are still considered blood relatives, and they are the elders of the family.
When Feng Yu recognized his ancestors at the Feng family ancestral hall, he saw them, but some of them were no longer there.
Feng Qing glanced at Feng Yu from afar and asked him to come over quietly first. Feng Yu didn't know what was going on, so he didn't disturb the others and arrived at his father Feng Qing's place first.
"You're here? I almost thought you died outside. When you come, sit down first. I'll tell you slowly what's going on here."
Feng Yu glanced at the many people present, and all of them looked ugly. The yard they were in should be an ancestral hall similar to that in the village. It was not an ancestral hall at all. It was an old house, with yellow
It is plastered with mud, and there are no bricks or black tiles on the walls. When you enter, there is a courtyard with a pavilion in the middle. It is made of wood and has been polished. There is a shabby stage in the front, and behind it is an open hall.
The structure is a bit like the school where Mr. taught in ancient times. The roof is full of holes. If it rains, they must be comparable to those in the Water Curtain Cave.
The door of the main room was closed, and it was unknown what was inside. Everyone was outside. There was no electricity in this place, and candles were used for lighting. There was a thick layer of wax dripping on the table. It seemed that they were not only there during the day.
This is the same place at night.
Among the people present, there were some that Feng Yu had never seen before. They were probably the old people who lived in Nantajing. A group of middle-aged and elderly people between forty and sixty years old were smoking cigarettes and worrying about something. Feng Yu
Yu also discovered that there was basically no woman among the people present.
