The five hundred and twentieth chapters of the real village (2)
When this spiritual tablet was delivered to Old Man Bai, his eyes were already filled with tears.
He touched the spiritual tablet with his hand, feeling the childish brushwork and pitted dents on it, and burst into tears for a while.
This is a ridiculously rough spiritual tablet, carved directly from a thin piece of wood. The wood residue on the edge has not been cleaned up, and there is no paint. It can be seen that the person who carved it not only does not have exquisite craftsmanship, but also has some...
Childish, this is like a child's handiwork, but each stroke is carved with great care...
"You made this by yourself, right?",
Old Man Bai walked up to the boy tremblingly with the spiritual card in hand, and asked with tearful eyes:
"Son, tell me the truth!
Who are you from the White Blade?"
The boy was stunned by Old Man Bai's words. He looked straight at Old Man Bai and then at the spiritual tablet. He seemed to want to cry, but then he bit his lips tightly, controlled his emotions, and did not answer anything.
At this time, I heard old man Bai continue to ask...
"The last time I came here, Bai Ren had a grandson about to be born. He was very happy and had a big drink with me. At that time, he told me that this Wuhou Valley was still Bai Qi during the Warring States Period.
The fiefdom has existed for thousands of years now.
This place was hidden by an expert thousands of years ago. It has not been discovered until now. It has avoided many conflicts and wars in the past dynasties!
This is his first grandson. He wants to give it a good name so that this child can take over from him and stay here properly.
I told him at that time, why not call him Bai Shou, to protect; to guard, to guard this place left by our ancestors.
My child, tell me, are you the grandson of Bai Jian?
Are you Bai Shou..."
When the old man called out the name, the boy's eyes immediately filled with water, reflecting his red eyes like red light bulbs.
He looked at Old Man Bai, then at the spiritual tablet, with an extremely excited expression. Finally, his lips trembled, and he actually nodded and uttered a sentence,
"My name is Bai Shou!",
The boy's voice at this time was different from before. His dialect was very thick and had a very ancient flavor. After saying this, he actually showed an expression that wanted to cry, as if he was aggrieved by a child who had not seen an adult for a long time.
, which is extremely incompatible with his resolute face and tall and thick body,
"Bai Ren, he's my grandfather~~
Woo..."
After hearing these words, Old Man Bai immediately became excited. He walked forward quickly, grabbed the boy's shoulders tightly with both arms, and said in a trembling tone:
"Child, let me tell you, I am really your grandfather's brother. He handed you over to me before he left.
I have been looking for you all these years~~~
Tell me quickly, where are those children? Don’t worry, I will never trick you!"
After that, Old Man Bai said a lot of words one after another, most of which were to express his identity and friendship with Bai Ren, hoping that the boy could accept him and trust him.
The boy also shed tears in the later stage and was obviously moved. However, he kept looking at Chen Zhi, Ji Ying and Fat Wei behind Old Man Bai, with a vigilant look in his eyes.
Finally he said something softly,
"I..., I, our village chief said that we must not have contact with outsiders.
Because there are a lot of bad people out there, and once they find us, they will kill us all!"
"how can that be possible?",
Old Man Bai shook his head emotionally:
"That's all in the past, things have already changed now...
The brothers behind me are also your grandfather's friends. I have seen the maps your grandfather drew for others. If there was no friendship, what would your grandfather do?
Don't worry, kid, we are all trustworthy, and your village chief has been dead for seven years, so you don't have to remember what he told you anymore..."
"I'm talking about our current village chief...",
The boy's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and said in a strong dialect:
“After those adults left, they left us here!
He is the oldest among us. From then on, we have been growing up under his care. We listened to him in everything. He took us to build this village, and we went up to the mountains to hunt and pick fruits. Later, we also
Do farm work outside and harvest crops.
Fortunately, I had him all those years, otherwise I would have starved to death!"
"New village chief?
You have a new village chief now?",
Old Man Bai immediately asked:
"I remember that your Bai family's ancestral rules stipulate that there are differences between direct descendants and concubines. The village chief has always been inherited by your family from generation to generation. How could it be changed to someone else? Why aren't you the village chief?"
"Because I'm too young...",
Bai Shuonuo said:
"I was only 7 years old at the time. When I woke up, my parents were gone!
The world was turned upside down outside, and there was a smoky black mist everywhere, surrounding our entire mountain.
Half of my face was burned. I fainted from the pain all night. When I woke up, all the adults were gone. Only my aunt and the children in the village were left!
Later, my aunt got sick and died! His son became our new village chief, and all our children obeyed him."
"Your aunt?",
When Old Man Bai heard this, he shivered uncontrollably.
"Child, tell me quickly, what is the name of your new village chief?",
Bai Shou was a little confused when he heard Old Man Bai's question. He looked at Chen Zhi and Ji Ying behind him warily, with obvious hesitation in his expression, but in the end he looked into Old Man Bai's eyes and said:
“Our new village chief’s name is Bai Ke!
At that time, my aunt said that Bai Ke had no father and was a child of the Bai family.
He is the eldest among us, let him take charge of this village from now on!"
"Then...then where is he now?",
Old Man Bai excitedly grabbed Bai Shou's shoulders and said,
"Child, stop hiding it and tell me, where are they now?"
"They..., they",
Bai Shou's psychological defenses had completely collapsed at this time, and his lips were trembling and he didn't know how to answer.
"Shh!",
Ji Ying suddenly waved her hand to stop everyone talking, and then pointed in the direction of the door.
"They are outside..."
"Then...then where is he now?",
Old Man Bai excitedly grabbed Bai Shou's shoulders and said,
"Child, stop hiding it and tell me, where are they now?"
"They..., they",
Bai Shou's psychological defenses had completely collapsed at this time, and his lips were trembling and he didn't know how to answer.
"Shh!",
Ji Ying suddenly waved her hand to stop everyone talking, and then pointed in the direction of the door.
