Chapter 96 ancestor worship
"Weiwei, this young man's driving skills are good, but he didn't find the wrong person.

Although our road has been repaired many times, the rocks here are scattered and there are frequent landslides, so the road is still difficult to walk. "

Listening to the third uncle's praise for 19, Shen Xiaoxiao secretly held back her mouth. Well, she also had to admit that 19's technology was really good, and they drove steadily along the way. After more than 3 hours of travel, after passing this seemingly easy road, it is full of country roads.

In the recent heavy snowfalls, the mountain roads have been slippery and narrow, which is a test of skill. It would take at least half a day to drive in just relying on Third Uncle and Shen Xiaoxiao.

19 After driving all the way, they entered the village in just three hours.

The village has a very peculiar name "Hela Village", and later it was called "Hao Hao Village".

When I heard my third uncle talk about ancient times, I mentioned that this village is said to be an offshoot of the Yehenala clan, and the most famous and familiar celebrity of their ancestors was the Empress Dowager Cixi whose tomb was robbed after her death.

Of course, the third uncle also said it was a legend. After all, it has been more than 100 years, and many things are not clear. In addition, the third uncle is the adopted son of the Shen family, not the son of the legitimate son, and Mr. Shen rarely mentioned these things to Shen Jinwen.

However, although there is such a famous person in the ancestors, it can't stop the historical changes. Even if it is a side branch, there are not a few people who have left the mountain village to work outside the city in order to make a living. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, people in the village have returned from working outside. more up.

As soon as you enter the mountain village, you can see that every household is full of smoke, smiling and lively.

They drove in directly from the back of the village, circled around, and parked the car in the village committee office compound in the middle of the village.

Every household with a car here parked there. Today, they deliberately drove an urban off-road vehicle. It was inconspicuous and inconspicuous. There were more than 10 cars parked here, and their car parked there was extremely ordinary.

"Third Uncle, it seems that everyone in the village has come back for the New Year?"

The implication of Shen Xiaoxiao's words is that there are many people with mixed eyes. If these people see them coming back to worship their ancestors, it will be bad if it reaches Gu Yuehua's ears.

Shen Jinwen didn't know what Shen Xiaoxiao meant, so he said directly to Shen Xiaoxiao:
"You don't have to worry about this. They never come back to worship their ancestors. They go to the cemetery."

Having said that, Shen Xiaoxiao naturally understood that although the Shen family's ancestral grave was buried on the back hill of this mountain village, and Shen Xiaoxiao's grandfather was also buried here, but when Shen Xiaoxiao's father passed away, Gu Yuehua One person handles the affairs behind.

For the convenience of offering sacrifices, and because Gu Yuehua didn't like to go back to rural areas, he ignored Shen Jinwen's objection and buried Shen's father in the cemetery.

But the third uncle still set up a tomb for Shen's father next to the old man Shen in his hometown.

The Shen family's old house is located in the corner of the village, and it is also at the top of the village. According to the third uncle, their old house is good, and it is in the leading position, so the Shen family in the whole village is the most developed.

The road outside here was built for the village with the money of the Shen family, but after the death of the head of the Shen family, Mr. Shen and Shen Xiaoxiao's father, and the mistress remarried, some rumors about the Shen family in this village gradually faded away.

When the family members are all dead, the Shen family will naturally be unable to protect the villagers. Although the third uncle has come back to visit the grave every year these years, the contact with the villagers has really become less and less.

But in this way, it also saves a lot of trouble.

The old house is a four-entry house, covering a very large area, but it is a bit dilapidated because of the long-term inhabitant.

Although people are sent to renovate here every year, and the village is paid to help them clean up every week, but in the end this place is still a terrible failure.

The big iron gate creaked, and the snow piled up on one side of the yard, but someone took care of it, and the roof was also cleaned. It looked clean, but the sense of depression and solemnity inside was Can't stop it.

19 After taking the things in their hands, they consciously went forward to investigate one by one, not only to worship their ancestors, but also to stay here for one night. Today they will sacrifice in the old house, and tomorrow they will go up the mountain.

So as soon as 19 took the things and left, the third uncle turned to Shen Xiaoxiao and asked, "I'm afraid this young man is not an ordinary driver, he looks a little skilled, is he a veteran?"

Shen Xiaoxiao was taken aback, the third uncle had good eyesight, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't hide from him, and said to him: "Well, I have some skills. A foreign friend helped me find them. They are good at skills and sincere."

"Sincerely? Sincerely is good, but you still need to have an open mind. There is no good for no reason in this world, and there is no evil for no reason."

The third uncle's words made Shen Xiaoxiao's heart drop heavily, yes, there is nothing good in this world without a reason.

In fact, Yan Kuan was really kind to her, even if it was just acting on occasion, Yan Kuan was really qualified, not to mention other things, just the thoughts spent on Shen Xiaoxiao, the existence of this 19, Shen Xiaoxiao also knew this Strict and wide obligations have long been exceeded.

However, it was because of this that she couldn't understand why Yan Kuan was so kind to her, so good that she couldn't help but wonder, what purpose did he have?
"Third Uncle, I know, I won't trust anyone easily, and I won't be deceived easily, it's just that everyone gets what they need."

When Shen Xiaoxiao said this, Shen Jinwen thought that Xiaoxiao meant that she paid for the bodyguards, and it was nothing more than money and goods.

But Shen Xiaoxiao knew that what she meant was that she sold her dignity and body, and Yan Kuan gave her all of them.

All of this will also disappear completely after she loses its use value and Yan Kuan loses interest.

This realization suddenly made Shen Xiaoxiao feel very depressed, and even felt a deep sense of oppression in her chest, which made her unable to breathe.

In fact, the ranking of the ancestors of the Shen family is not many, but there are only two more generations of Mr. Shen's father and grandfather when counting up.

Maybe everyone in this village is like this, and their ancestors all started from that area.

The ancestral hall seemed too quiet, with a smell of corruption that had accumulated over the years, the air was filled with a faint smell of incense ash and green smoke, and the dim candles were set off by the same yellowed light, making it even more strange and peaceful.

"Third uncle, why don't you brighten the light bulb, it looks so dark here."

"Miss, I'm going to change the light bulb."

"Wait a moment……"

19 was just about to change a brighter light, but the third uncle stopped him and made a gesture to signal 19 to go out first. This is a ancestral hall after all, so it's not good for outsiders to follow in.

19 looked directly at Shen Xiaoxiao, Shen Xiaoxiao naturally understood what the third uncle meant, and said to 19, "Go outside and watch."

19 Then he retreated respectfully. His action made the third uncle think a little more. I'm afraid this person is not as simple as just hiring a bodyguard?There are so many small hole cards that even he dare not imagine.
