Chapter 51: Willows and Flowers Bright Another Village
Duan Kefan nodded. Why is this woman so sensitive? He quickly changed the subject and said: "I'll take you to the ancestral hall first. The photo with Zhu Yunwen's inscription on the door was taken there. I am now
Just live there..."
The group of people came to the door of the ancestral hall. Zheng Xiumei and her uncle stood at the door and carefully looked at the inscription on the door. He nodded and said: "Judging from the handwriting, it should be Zhu Yunwen's inscription. The key now is to see if there is any other evidence.
Come on, go inside and have a look..."
Entering the ancestral hall, there was no surprising discovery. What was enshrined in the ancestral hall were ordinary ancestral tablets and other things that are often enshrined in ancestral halls of ordinary people. Zheng Xiumei was very surprised by Duan Kefan's accommodation conditions: "You
Living in a place like this? Aren’t you afraid?..."
Duan Kefan chuckled and said: "What's there to be afraid of? Are there really ghosts in this world? I'm not afraid of ghosts. I've beaten away the 'ghosts' here before..." As he spoke, he said
The matter of beating away the giant snake was treated as a joke.
Zheng Xiumei's face turned pale with fright, and she said in horror: "You are too bold. What if it gets bitten? What if it recovers and comes to take revenge on you?..." But her uncle looked at her deeply.
He glanced at Duan Kefan, nodded and said: "All things have animism. That giant snake is so spiritual. You are right to let it go. It seems that this place is indeed a geomantic treasure!..."
There was nothing gained in the ancestral hall, so Duan Kefan suggested asking the old people in the village. Maybe he could hear some historical anecdotes from the old people and find some clues. There are quite a few long-lived old people in the village, and ten of them are in their eighties.
Several, the oldest one is almost a hundred years old, but perhaps because it is so long ago, the old people can't provide any valuable clues, let alone historical celebrities like Zhu Yunwen, among the old people
In my impression, there have never been any decent big shots in Rongshu Village.
Zheng Xiumei's uncle was not surprised by this. He shook his head and said: "Zhu Yunwen was being chased by Zhu Di at that time and was on the run. His identity must be kept strictly confidential. Maybe he did stop here briefly to express his gratitude.
The villagers here helped them inscribe the inscriptions on the ancestral hall, but it is not surprising that the villagers here do not know his true identity, but if there is no strong evidence, there is no way to draw a conclusion. But the ancient buildings here
The damage is indeed too serious, with rain leaking everywhere, how can it be inhabited?! Xiao Duan, let’s do this, no matter whether I can finally find evidence that Zhu Yunwen stayed here, I will find a way to apply to the higher authorities and allocate more than 100,000 yuan.
At least repair the roof so that the villagers can no longer live in leaky houses. If this continues, not only will the ancient buildings here be damaged faster, but people will also get sick easily..."
Duan Kefan was a little reluctant, and thought for a while and said: "How about we go to the old party secretary's house in the village and ask again. He has been the village party secretary for many years and may know some things..."
So the group came to the old party secretary Wang Caihou's house again. When Wang Xiaocao saw Duan Kefan, he was not as friendly as the first time. He glared at him angrily and still remembered that he took away the money for his grandfather's medical treatment.
Well, Wang Caihou was very happy when he heard that Duan Kefan had brought experts from the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau to protect the ancient buildings in the village. He sighed: "It's time for the houses in the village to be repaired. Most of the people in the village now have rheumatism.
I can no longer do heavy physical work in my teens. If the government can allocate money to help the villagers repair their houses, that would be a great thing!..."
Duan Kefan said quickly: "Old party secretary, the key now is to find evidence that Zhu Yunwen has been to our village, so that the government can allocate money to help the villagers repair their houses!..."
"What kind of article is Zhu? There is no one named Zhu in our area. There is a Zhujia Village in the next town, but it has no contact with our village..." Wang Caihou said with a puzzled face.
This was a bit of a joke. Duan Kefan had to explain Zhu Yunwen's identity to Wang Caihou in detail with a wry smile. Wang Caihou shook his head repeatedly and said: "Emperor? What kind of emperor would come to a place where birds don't shit like us? I'll take it for granted."
After serving as village party secretary for so many years, the biggest official in the village is the mayor. One time, he said that the county magistrate was coming, but because the road was not easy to walk, he spun around halfway through!..."
Duan Kefan was a little desperate. It seemed that there was no hope of finding evidence that Zhu Yunwen had been to Rongshu Village. Zheng Xiumei's uncle was more experienced and patiently continued to ask: "Old party secretary, think about it again.
Have you ever found any unusual objects? Just things that are not very common..."
Wang Caihou thought for a while and said: "Unusual objects? There really are some. Many people in the village used to have some pottery pots in their homes. The carvings on them were very beautiful. They were all carved with dragons, phoenixes and so on. My family used to
There is one, passed down from my grandfather’s generation..."
Duan Kefan and Zheng Xiumei's uncle's eyes lit up when they heard this, and he quickly asked: "Great, are the things still there? Take them out and have a look..."
Wang Caihou spread his hands and said: "No, all of them were smashed at the time of breaking the four olds. There are still some iron and bronze wares, and they were all taken out and melted at the time of the steel smelting..."
"Alas!" Duan Kefan and Zheng Xiumei's uncle both slapped their thighs with regret. If it weren't for the fact that ignorance harms people, so many historical relics would have been destroyed!
However, this also proved that there were indeed unusual things in the history of Rongshu Village. After Zheng Xiumei’s uncle lamented it, he continued to ask: "Is there anything unusual that cannot be smashed or burned?..."
"Can't it be smashed or burned?" Wang Caihou smacked his forehead and thought seriously. He raised his finger and pointed at the mountains outside and said, "There are two small stone castles on the hills on both sides of our village. When we were young, we used to go up there to cut firewood and play.
We were originally asked to destroy the commune in the old days, but the stones of the stone fort were too hard and too laborious to destroy. In addition, the villagers also needed a place to rest while chopping firewood, so they stayed. In recent years, the government has not
We have to cut firewood, and the stone fort is completely covered with thatch, so we can no longer see it!..."
This is really a desperate situation with no way out, but there is a bright future in another village! Duan Kefan and Zheng Xiumei's uncle looked at each other in surprise, and said in unison: "Great! Then hurry up and take us to see..."
Wang Caihou scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I can lead the way, but now there is no way to Xiaoshibao. It is all thatch. It is a big project to cut down the thatch and open a new road. There are not many strong laborers to open it."
If you don’t come out…”
