Dayan and I drove to the city. After inquiring about it, we learned from a stall who bought pancakes that the entire village had been demolished because of the demolition of Sanchawan. Most of the villagers used the demolition money I bought a house in the city and became a city man.
Some villagers moved to a village called Huangjiazhuang 20 kilometers away and settled down.
People go to higher places, water flows to lower places, and villagers who are rich go collectively to the countryside far from the city. I have heard of it for the first time.
I asked the owner of the pancake stall the reason. He said that he only heard that Sanchawan and Huangjiazhuang had some connections, but he was not quite clear about the specific situation.
Big eyes means hearing is futility and seeing is believing. Now, let alone a village 20 kilometers away, you have to go and see even if you don’t know the details of the ghost seven, he can’t entrust his life to one. Unknown person.
Walking along the road, stopping and asking all the way, my heart became more and more complicated, because we were in the mountains.
This seems to further confirm my guess that the demolition households are not urban residents and choose to settle in the mountains. The reasons must be different.
Huangjiazhuang is at the foot of the mountain, and there is a stone-built Yingbin gate at the entrance of the village. Above the gate is the dark yellow "Huangjiazhuang" three characters.
"The Yingmen Bin Building has been around for a while!" said Big Eyes involuntarily.
I nodded in agreement and said, "It is estimated that this village was very rich before."
Immediately after Leyingbin Gate, a big yellow dog barked at us at the entrance of the village, as if to inform the villagers that someone was coming. I parked the car on the side of the road, and the yellow dog barked around the car and didn't welcome us.
We couldn't get out of the car for a while.
Big eyes put down the car window and bluffed at the dog: "Go! Go! Tell me to stew you again!"
I looked back at the village and said, "Big eyes, this village is weird. The dogs are barking crazy, why can't they even see their figures."
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. You are driving the car in and look inside."
I restarted the car and moved forward slowly, with the doors closed in every household, which made people feel lifeless, and the yellow dog still barked from behind the car. The road in the village is very wide, and after a short walk, an ancient building different from other houses appeared in front of it.
After approaching, I found that it was an ancestral hall.
The walls of the ancestral hall were gray and mottled, the heavy and thick wooden doors, and the finger-like knockers were dark and shiny, indicating that they were often opened.
Right above the door is a black plaque, which reads: Huang's Ancestral Hall.
Parked the car at the entrance of the ancestral hall, I looked back for the big yellow dog behind the car, and found that I no longer knew where I went.
square.
I got out of the car, walked to the entrance of the ancestral hall and looked inside. The table in the middle of the ancestral hall was lit with red candles, and there were countless rows on it. I wanted to push the door and look inside, but I was eye-catching. He grabbed it and said: "Don't go in, the ancestral hall is a place where the family worships immortals, it is a holy place, we outsiders cannot enter.
"The young man understands the rules." Someone suddenly spoke behind him.
Dayan and I hurriedly turned our heads and saw an old farmer in his fifties, looking at us smilingly with a pipe and pot in his mouth.
Behind him was a fool, who tilted his head and grinned, clasped his fingers in his hands, and wore a red torn suit with shirtless inside, big flowered pants and black cloth shoes with his feet exposed.
"Old man, where are the people in the village?"
The old farmer knocked his pipe pot on the sole of his shoe, and asked without answering, "Who are you? What are you doing in Huangjiazhuang?"
Big Eye immediately said: "Uncle, we are from the Civil Affairs Bureau. Let's find out about Sanchawan villagers who came to our village a few years ago."
Civil Affairs Bureau? Big eyes can really make up!
The old farmer suddenly realized, "You are here to do the work of those people, right?"
We were ignorant of what he said, but since the lie was told, we nodded and said yes.
"It's time for you to do their job. You still have to petition the government after all these things have happened. It will cause trouble to the government. Let's go, I will take you to find them."
Big eyes hurriedly said: "Old man, don't worry. We just took over this job and we don't know much about the situation. Could you please tell us about their situation."
The old farmer looked at us in surprise: "You don't know anything, come down to work when your eyes are dark?"
Big Eye hurriedly handed over the cigarette and said, "Of course we know, but some things are not clear."
The old farmer took the cigarette, looked at the sign in front of him, then dangled it on his mouth, and hurriedly lit him with his big eyes. He spit out the smoke and asked, "What's not clear?"
"The demolition of Sanchawan, most people have bought houses in the city, why do some people have to go to Huangjiazhuang to settle down? This is a bit unreasonable."
The old farmer smiled and said, "They came to recognize their ancestors. Many villagers in Sancha Bay have roots in our Huangjiazhuang village."
"You don't have to move back to live with your ancestors." I said.
The old farmer immediately said with a bad tone, and said: "What do you young people know? Only when you recognize your ancestor will your ancestor protect you."
Big eyes hurriedly pulled the old farmer to sit on the stone pier at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and said with a smile: "Old man, you can tell us about it. We can only start our work better by understanding things thoroughly.
If it's not done, we won't be able to make a difference when we go back. You always tell us, what is the relationship between Huangjiazhuang and Sanchawan? "
The old farmer had a teachable look as a ruin, and he said with a smile: "You are still a young man who can talk, and you will definitely be a high official in the future. Your colleague can't do it, you can't speak."
Big eyes winked at me, and my heart said that I just asked questions, why can't I speak? Big Eye first gave the old farmer a "snack" flattery, and he couldn't close his mouth.
After a brief understanding, we learned that the old farmer's name is Huang Hai, and his son is a farmer at home.
Huang Hai said: "The relationship between Huangjiazhuang and Sanchawan has been long since then, almost 100 years old."
Big Eye made a surprised expression, and said, "It's so long, so there must be at least four or five generations."
"No, it was during the Republic of China. At that time, we had a talented person named Huang Jizu from the Huang family. Does the Baoding Army Military Academy know? The predecessor was the Qing Beiyang Speedy Military Academy. At that time, Huang Jizu was a leader at the Military Academy. Huang Jizu has an only child named..."
Huang Hai was stunned, turned his head and glanced at the gate of the ancestral hall. He didn’t know if he couldn’t remember it or was he taboo. He revealed the name of Huang Jizu’s son and continued: “His daughter-in-law is from Sanchawan. A high-ranking official. At that time, the whole army was in a melee. Huang Jizu called the tribe to join the army and took away more than 50 tribesmen. Later, for unknown reasons, the war did not start. Huang Jizu arranged the tribe who followed him out in his own Baoding. The official residence looks after the house nursery."
"Then Huang Jizu is really authentic to his tribe." With big eyes and thumbs up, he continued flattering.
Huang Hai said: "Yes, it's a pity that good people don't live long. In the end, their family was assassinated by the hostile warlord, and their heads were cut off! Huang Jizu told the more than fifty tribesmen on the verge of death, no matter where they go in the future, there will be plenty of promise. He had to go back to Huangjiazhuang. This is called Luoyeguigen. After Huang Jizu died, his family members who went out with him were incorporated into the guards by his relatives. Later basically all settled in Sancha Bay. After four or five generations of people multiplying It can be said that one-third of the people in Sancha Bay have their roots here. Now that Sancha Bay is gone, they just come back to recognize their ancestors."
"Oh, there is such a story." Big Eye said.
I thought for a while and felt wrong, and said, "Uncle Huang, it's not right. You said Huang Jizu was assassinated. He was not seriously ill. How could he tell his tribe before his death that he wanted to return to his roots? He had no chance to say it. "
