Chapter 650 Little Stone Bridge Village
According to the old woman, this Shiqiao Town was originally invested and built by a wealthy family, and was built to repay the kindness of the villagers for raising them.
Looking back three hundred years, a child named Shiqiao was born here. The reason why he was called Shiqiao is because the child was picked up on a stone bridge.
After picking it up, the villagers of Shiqiao Town saw that the child was pitiful and had no parents, so they took turns to raise the child from house to house. The child was raised to the age of twenty.
Then Shiqiao left the town and went outside. After more than ten years, he had money, so he took his wife and children back here and took out a lot of money to build the place.
Since then, it has been here all the time.
"You said that, the reason why this place is called Shiqiao Town is not just because of the stone bridge at the entrance of the town?" I asked the old woman and said, "Of course not. The stone bridge at the entrance of the village was built after the Republic of China. It turned out that there was no river there, and the surroundings were flat. However, after the Republic of China, I don't know why an arch bridge was built there. In fact, the bridge is not good at all. There are always accidents when entering and leaving. Because of these, it is said that this is a ghost town. We are old and don't go out often.
But the young people here are not very back, they don’t come back once a year after going out, and they don’t want to come back.
Some, even go as far as you can, will not come back at all.
You see that there are people everywhere on the street here, but these people stayed for business, and the rest are us old people.
In fact, this place is also a cultural site, but it is not as crowded and prosperous as other places."
"You are a lady from a family at first glance. I guess your ancestors are also famous families, right?"
"What a famous family? My ancestors were the teacher. I feel sorry for it here."
"No wonder, it looks different. By the way, mother-in-law, do you know how the man named Shiqiao was like later?"
"I didn't know later." The old woman shook her head and asked again: "There will always be descendants of the Shi family here, after all, this place is called Shiqiao Town."
I heard from the old woman think about it: "I really haven't heard of this. As far as I know, there is no one with the surname Shi, and I never heard of such a person when I was a child."
"That's how it is."
"Not."
"Apart from you, are there anyone older than you?" I heard me ask the old woman, "How many are there, but you should say that the oldest one is over 100 years old this year, but she does not live in our town, but in the village behind the town.
Village?
I looked back and found that there was a mountain behind the town. I didn't go to see it when I came last night. Now I can see it clearly.
"What is that village for? What is it called?"
"That village is called Xiaoshiqiao Village. It's been a while. I can remember that there is a Xiaoshiqiao Village there, but the people there are all surnamed You, not Shi.
right?
Isn’t the stone right when it comes out?
After walking for a while, I asked some questions again. The old woman told me one by one that we had already walked to the place to buy breakfast. As a result, I saw Nangong Jin queuing up to buy breakfast at the place to buy breakfast.
When he saw me, Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment, and then bought breakfast and came to me. He probably thought I was here alone, so he gave me a serving of the breakfast in his hand. I was not polite to him, and probably he had inquired about a lot of things.
When the old woman went to buy breakfast, I asked him about the matter.
What Nangong Jin asked was similar to what I asked. What he asked was that people from this town picked up a boy on the stone bridge, and called Boy Shiqiao. Then the stone bridge had money and came back to build this place.
There was no special clue. Nangong Jin and I went all the way to the old woman. Ouyang Li was already waiting for us there before he even went there. But this time he saw Nangong Jin, his face was not ugly. On the contrary, his indifference and calmness became more.
The tomboy and the doctor have also come out. The tomboy is a heartless person. He has already followed the doctor and is still restless. Especially the eyes of those who are so slutty that they like the handsome men. When they see Nangong Jin, they greet them on their own initiative. The doctor's face is instantly comparable to a purple eggplant, and it is hard to look down.
At this time, Nangong Jin didn't know what was going on, so he ignored the tomboy at all. Instead, he looked at the house and asked me: "Are you going to the back with me now to see it, or do you want to wait a while?"
"I'll accompany Ning'er later, you'll leave first." Ouyang Li said at this time, and Nangong Jin was a little unhappy, and he said to Ouyang Li without hesitation: "You are not qualified to make decisions for her, you have to take care of everything?"
"I'll say less, let's have a meal. Let's go to the mountain together after dinner." After I said that, I went over. The old woman asked me at this time: "Are you going to the mountain behind?"
"To be honest, many people have died in Shiqiao Town over the years, and the accidents are all in Shiqiao Town. We came for this and didn't tell you, don't be angry." The old woman glanced at the old man, then sighed and said, "I have seen that you are not here to play. You have inquired about so many things with me.
But if you want to go, go."
The old woman said that, and then we had breakfast and headed towards the back. When we arrived at the back we walked around the mountain and came to a small village.
The small village looked no different from the usual village, so we went in.
Ouyang Li has been by my side today and doesn't talk much, but he always stays by my side.
When I came to the village, I wrote a few words at the entrance of the village, Xiaoshiqiao Village.
We looked in and went in. Not long after we went in, we saw someone coming out to take out the trash. When we saw us, we asked who we were. We said we were here to have a long-lived mother-in-law, so we came to take a look.
After hearing this, the man politely pointed to a family in the village, and we walked over and found the one.
The door of that house is still the former fence wall, and the house is also an ordinary house, unlike a person with any money.
When I walked to the door, I knocked on the door and shouted twice: "Is anyone?"
"Who?" But after a long time, an old voice came from the room. As the sound came, the door of the room opened, and the rocking chair inside swayed creakingly. An old lady with wrinkles in the room walked out of the room, leaning on a crutch in her hand.
The old lady looks over one hundred years old and is indeed very old.
However, the old lady looked bright and her eyes were very steadily walking. When I called her, she heard it with just one call. It seemed that she was very tough.
At this time, the old lady had already walked to the door and was a little surprised to see our group of people. I hurriedly said, "We are here to visit. I heard that you are the oldest here, so I came to visit you. I hope you can forgive me."
The old lady looked at us for a while and was quite polite, so she said, "Come in."
When the door opened, we all entered. Ouyang Li walked beside me and looked around the yard. I also found that there was a place where Yin Qi stayed.
And I just left for a while, it seems that we have come to the right place here.
The old lady went all the way to her house, and when I entered the door, I found that the place where the old lady lived was really a bit unusual.
First, the place is dark and dull, second, there is nothing in this place, there is only a bed, a rocking chair, and a place to eat. The next room should be the canteen for cooking.
"There is no place for you to sit on the bed, and there are three chairs." The old lady asked us to sit down after entering the door. The tomboy was obviously frightened. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that the old lady's room was dark and dark, so scared that she didn't dare to speak.
The doctor hugged the person and walked towards the bed. The tomboy said nothing but not to go. The doctor had to pull the tomboy to sit on the chair. However, the tomboy had to sit and the doctor had to stand. Otherwise, the tomboy would not dare to sit.
Ouyang Li and I sat on the bed. Nangong Jin looked at me and went to the tomboy, but at this time the tomboy had already regarded the doctor as a life-saving straw. She didn't know who was sitting next to her.
Seeing that we were all sitting down, the old lady walked to the door, closed the door with a creak, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
The tomboy was so scared that he threw himself into the doctor's arms. The doctor hugged him tightly. At this moment, I thought, if I know that this is the case, I shouldn't have asked her to come. What should I do if I scare her?
The old lady glanced at the tomboy, walked back and went to the rocking chair, and then sat down and shook it there.
There was not much light outside, and there was not much light coming in in the only gap.
The atmosphere in the room was very strange, and Ouyang Li and I looked at each other, looking at the old lady all the time, but the room was too dark, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
After waiting for a while, the old lady finally stopped shaking, and she asked us in her old voice: "You have anything you want to know, just ask."
The old lady closed her eyes and looked at Ouyang Li beside me. She knew that she had to ask questions at this time and couldn't care much.
So I asked, "Do you know the origin of Shiqiao Town?"
"Know."
We heard the old lady say that there was no difference from what I heard from the old woman below. It was a boy who picked it up on the stone bridge and was raised. When he grew up, he returned here and rebuilt Shiqiao Town.
"Do you know what happened after the town was built? Why is there no family in Shiqiao Town with the surname Shi? It is called Xiaoshiqiao Village. What does it have to do with Shiqiao Town below? Why are the people here right? What is the difference between right and Shi?"
The questions I asked seemed to be a little too much. The old lady's rocking chair began to shake, and then looked at me, opening her eyes that saw a lot of things.
