BXBX NOVEL Chapter 429: Where are the bones of grandparents?
The tomb of Zhou Hanqing buried an empty coffin, so where is the real coffin? Where are his and Yu Fanghua's bones?
The two of them were thinking hard here, and the old farmer carrying the **** didn't go far, looking at them.
When they were about to leave, the old farmer asked, "Aren't you going to sit in the village?"
Zhou Yan took Liang Xiaonan's hand and asked him, "Is Grandpa Hai at home?"
The old farmer nodded: "Yes, he is sick."
"Ah, then I must go and see."
Zhou Hai is one of the few surviving elders of Zhou Hanqing's generation, and is also the current patriarch of the Zhou family. Zhou Yan still wants to take a look.
He also wanted to ask, did Zhou Hai know that there were empty coffins in the graves of his grandpa and grandma? Where are the bones buried?
"Have you never been here before?" Liang Xiaonan asked in surprise.
"I have been here, but Guo Acai comes to pay respects to my grandfather every year. She keeps in touch with these people. It is inconvenient for me to come often."
Now that Guo Acai is locked up, and Zhou Hai is ill, he will come and see.
The basic surname of the village is Zhou. Zhou Yan said that Zhou Hanqing bought the island and moved all the people in the clan. Except for a few indigenous "nail households" who refused to move, everyone else gave money. moved away.
Because the fishing village of the clan was originally by the sea, it was hit by waves and typhoons every year, and it was miserable.
Although the island is also on the sea, it has a natural topographical advantage. The north and south are blocked by craters, and the sea breeze has to turn around when it comes. No matter how strong the wind is, it will go around. For decades, the island has not suffered a single disaster. .
And the soil on the island is very fertile, as long as you work hard, you won't starve to death.
The official name of this island is Sunlight Island, and the folks call it Zhouqian Island, which means the island where the Zhou family moved to.
Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan went to a courtyard along the street in the center of the village. At the door, a young man in his twenties was tidying up his fishing nets and asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?"
"Let's take a look at Grandpa Hai." Zhou Yan walked into the yard by himself without waiting for his permission.
Zhou Guangming threw away the fishing net in his hand, ran in front of them, and asked excitedly, "Who are you? My grandpa is sick."
Zhou Yan squinted at him: "Your grandpa is sick, are you so happy?"
Zhou Guangming paused, and said, "How can I be happy when grandpa is sick? I am a little excited because I see you are new."
Liang Xiaonan burst into laughter: "So happy to see a stranger?"
Zhou Guangming didn't know what to say for a while, he seemed to be very speechless?
A middle-aged man came out of the room, looked Zhou Yan up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Zhou Yan." Zhou Yan replied very simply, as if the other party should know who he is.
In fact, the man really knew who it was, and immediately exclaimed after hearing the name: "It's you! Come in quickly."
Called Zhou Guangming again: "Guangming, go to the street to buy vegetables, and call your brother and mother back."
He lowered his voice and warned: "Tell them, the young master is here."
Liang Xiaonan couldn't close his mouth when he heard it.
Zhou Yan suddenly turned to look at her, she understood in seconds, and immediately suppressed her smile.
"Don't worry about it, let's take a look at Grandpa Hai, and we'll be leaving in a while." Zhou Yan asked Liang Xiaonan to release one of the back baskets when he entered the door.
Zhou Qin took Zhou Yan to the house of his father Zhou Hai, and Zhou Yan held Liang Xiaonan's hand and took him there too.
The room is relatively spacious, with a concrete floor, an Eight Immortals table, several wooden chairs, wooden stools, and three grain stores more than one meter high in the corner, and three bricks are placed underneath to prevent moisture.
Zhou Hai leaned on the rolled-up quilt, surrounded by a mat to sleep on. He looked 80 years old, not only senile, but also delirious.
Zhou Qin lay in front of his face and said excitedly, "Dad, the young master is here."
Zhou Hai said "Huh?" a few times, obviously he didn't know who the first young master and the second young master were.
He wheezed and said anxiously: "I'm going to see the master, where is the young master? How can I find him?"
Zhou Qin hurriedly poured him a glass of water, but he didn't drink it, but just grabbed it with both hands, as if very anxious: "Is Guo A Cai coming again? Get out, get out quickly."
"..."
Zhou Qin said embarrassingly: "My dad has been confused for a long time, saying every day that he should kick out Second Aunt."
He told Zhou Yan that Guo Acai came every year, and Zhou Hai used to hide every time. In the past two years, his health was not good and he couldn't hide. Whenever he was about to sacrifice, he shouted "get out".
Zhou Yan looked at Liang Xiaonan: "Xiaonan, let Grandpa Hai wake up?"
Liang Xiaonan made eye contact with him, mouthing: ginseng fruit?
Zhou Yan: Yes!
Liang Xiaonan took out a small bottle from his satchel, which contained a ginseng fruit and a bottle of spiritual spring liquid.
Passed it to Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan passed it to Zhou Qin: "Feed it to Grandpa Hai."
Zhou Qin took the small bottle, and when he opened the lid, he could smell the incomparably sweet and soul-stirring aroma, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Put the mouth of the bottle under Zhou Hai's nose, Zhou Hai seemed to be stunned, and his mood stabilized at once. After a while, he said clearly: "What is this?"
Zhou Qin was overjoyed: "Dad, this is the medicine that the young master gave you. It is a treasure with special effects. Take it quickly."
Zhou Hai said: "I don't want to eat, let the young master eat."
Zhou Qin looked at Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan pouted and said, "Grandpa Hai, eat it."
Zhou Qin immediately poured it into Grandpa Hai's mouth, Zhou Hai drank a small bottle of spiritual spring liquid, and ate a piece of fruit. Within a quarter of an hour, he called Zhou Qin loudly: "Quick, help me to the toilet."
Zhou Yan took Liang Xiaonan's hand and waited in the living room.
Not long after, Zhou Hai had already gone to the toilet, took a shower and changed his clothes. When he saw Zhou Yan, he said excitedly, "You are the young master Yan from the uncle's family?"
Zhou Yan nodded: "I am Zhou Yan."
Zhou Hai said excitedly: "I saw you a few times when you were young. When you were young, you looked more like a wife, but now you look more like a master."
Zhou Yan didn't speak. Zhou Hai is the patriarch of the Zhou family and Zhou Hanqing's most loyal servant.
Of course, it is a new society now, and there is no such thing as a master and a servant, but Zhou Hai doesn’t want to change it, he’s used to it, Zhou Hanqing is his master, and it’s the master who brought the whole family here, so he doesn’t have to suffer from natural disasters anymore torment.
As soon as Zhou Hai woke up, he asked Zhou Qin: "Is Guo Acai gone?"
Zhou Qin said helplessly: "She came here in April, but she hasn't been here since."
Zhou Hai looked at Liang Xiaonan: "Is this young mistress?"
Liang Xiaonan blushed, it was the first time for her to call herself that in front of a seventy or eighty-year-old man in two lifetimes.
Zhou Yan nodded: "Yes."
Zhou Hai immediately said: "Young Mistress, Zhou Hai pays homage to Young Mistress."
Liang Xiaonan suddenly felt an indescribable sense of solemnity and responsibility.
She also called him Grandpa Hai like Zhou Yan: "Grandpa Hai, you don't have to be polite. Now that the new society is here, this is not the case. We are all equal. To me, you are the elder."
"No, no, no, you are young master and young mistress." Zhou Hai said excitedly, "Thank you, young master and mistress for the medicine, I am cured, my legs and feet are all healed."
He didn't wait for Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan to speak, and said to Zhou Qin: "Go out and look at the door, I have something to say to the young master."
Zhou Qin immediately went out obediently, Liang Xiaonan smiled and said to Zhou Yan: "You guys talk, I'll go out and have a look."
went out with Zhou Qin.
Zhou Customs opened the door and brought Zhou Yan into the room. He was about to kneel down immediately, but Zhou Yan hurriedly helped him up: "Grandpa Hai, if you have something to say, speak up."
Zhou Hai suddenly looked anxious, and he was no longer as calm as before.
"It's great that the young master is here. I have something urgent to tell you."
Thanks to the cute "ZZ" for the monthly ticket, wish my baby happy every day, okay!
