Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 140 There is no way out?
It's good to know Mr. Chen, which means that I didn't go to the wrong place. After confirming again and again that I knew Chen Hong, Ye Kai's heart was half relieved when he was mentioned.

Perhaps, this uncle can't remember clearly?
Go to the village and ask again. If it doesn't work, go to the village where old man Chen lives. For such a big man, no one will remember it. This is reality and not a science fiction film.

The three walked along this mountain road for a long time.

From time to time, there will be some large trucks loaded with stones, whizzing past this muddy yellow mud road, the exhaust gas and dust will cover every passerby with such a faint layer of earth color.

Far away, I could finally see the village.

There is an old stone tablet at the entrance of the village. The words on it are not clear, but the fragmented strokes can be seen from the writer's strong brushwork skills.

On the right side of the stele is a brick and tile building, which is a canteen.

Inside the dark green transparent glass counter, there is a small amount of cigarettes, and on the other side are very cheap snacks.There is also a red wired telephone above the counter.

Ye Kai separated from the elderly couple here, went into the canteen to buy a bottle of mineral water, and asked, "Boss, I have a question with you."

The boss is not young, his gray hair is combed back neatly, and he is reading newspapers with round presbyopic glasses.

"Later, what's the matter?"

"Do you know Li Zhonghu?"

He put down the newspaper in his hand, thought carefully for a while, and said, "Li Zhonghu? Well... Li is a common surname in our village, but I have never heard of anyone named Li Zhonghu."

Strange, how do not know.

Ye Kai wanted to ask carefully, but he was a little worried that the old man would feel that he didn't believe him.

They have always been confident in their memory.

Could it be the wrong name?
It is possible.

So Ye Kai changed his mind and asked, "Are there many people practicing martial arts here?"

"A lot." The old man replied quickly, without any consideration at all. "In ancient times, there was a garrison camp in Longcheng here. Many people in our nearby villages are family members. There are not to mention how many martial arts students."

"Then do you know the Fire Dragon Fist?"

"Hey!" He slapped his thigh vigorously, and said to Ye Kai with an expression of 'I finally understand', "I know who you are talking about, Li Erhu?"

Ye Kai asked, "Why Li Erhu?"

"His father gave birth to three sons, a big tiger, two tigers and three tigers. Isn't it Li Zhonghu after all? And the Fire Dragon Fist belongs to their family, but if you look for these two tigers... they should have been away for decades and never came back Pass."

"exactly."

Ye Kai nodded in surprise, and said: "It's right to go out for decades, this is... this should be the person I'm looking for. Does he have any relatives here?"

He almost didn't say the words this is my grandfather.

See you later!See you later!
Ye Kai's mood was like riding a roller coaster. He was full of confidence when he came from Rongcheng, but since he got off the bus and met the old couple.He kept getting negative answers.

I don't know, I haven't seen it.

Now that he finally got a definite answer, one can imagine his mood.

And after knowing that his grandfather had two brothers, what he considered was not whether he could meet his relatives, but the character of his relatives.

The old man at the canteen stared at Ye Kai for a long time, put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Then what, I'll take you there. Orphans and widows."

Ye Kai was full of question marks.

The uncle picked up a dark blue dress from the corner, shook it twice and put it on his body, picked up a long and thin tobacco rod, and walked towards the village with Ye Kai swaggeringly.

Is it not closed?It's better in the countryside, you don't need to lock the door when you go out.

The old man suddenly turned towards the store and said, "I'll go out for a while, you guys help me look around the store."

"Got it, let's go, let's go."

It turns out there are people.

The two walked along the main road, and here was an idyllic scenery that Ye Kai had never seen before.

At most, he has only seen the countryside on TV and in books.Ye Kai has also traveled through many countryside in the snow area, but the scenery in the snow area is completely different from that in the inland area.

On the right is a big mountain. From the mountainside, there are stretches of bamboo forests. There are almost people building under the bamboo forests. At the bottom of the mountain, there are rapeseed flowers all over the mountain.

It's like a hero's retreat in a martial arts movie.

On the left side of the road is the reclaimed paddy field, distributed in the shape of a field, spreading far along the road, at least Ye Kai did not see the end of the paddy field.But the width is only more than 100 meters.

On the other side of the paddy field is a river. A few buffaloes raised their heads to look at Ye Kai, shaking their heads and spilling a series of drops of water.

There is a bridge on the river, which is also a bit old, and the two wooden bridges are connected to a pavilion.It has been in disrepair for a long time and no one takes care of it, resulting in dilapidation.

There should be many of these things that can be called historic sites in the countryside of China, but they are not well-known.If the bridge is modified a little, it may be more beautiful than many famous ancient bridges.

"It must be very comfortable to live here."

The uncle laughed twice, and said, "It's more comfortable than your city, self-sufficient, and you don't have to go to work. It's just that you can't earn two dollars a year."

"Isn't making money also for comfort, so it's almost the same."

"That makes sense." He took a puff on his cigarette, exhaled a choking smell, and asked, "Young man, why are you looking for Erhu? Did he cause trouble outside?"

"No, I was also entrusted to take a look."

While talking, the old man led Ye Kai down the field ridge along the path, from the path in the middle of the paddy field to the crumbling bridge.

Although the paddy field may seem to be a farmer, it seems that carp are raised, and they are not afraid to swim around.I don't care at all that someone will catch them out and mix them with wine.

The bridge is old, but solid.

After crossing the bridge and continuing to walk for 5 minutes, the old man at the commissary stopped in a separate courtyard.

Is that right here?
On the wall made of stone mixed with yellow mud, there is a black cat nestled, its alert eyes are fixed on Ye Kai, a strange visitor.Ducks and pigs squawked from the invisible courtyard.

"Xiuman, is Xiuman at home...Someone is looking for you." He reached out and knocked on the door heavily, and shouted again. "Showman."

The wooden door opened, and it was opened by a pudgy woman.

The age should be around 50 years old, but the hair has gone gray and looks like dry grass.

"Uncle Zhou, what's the matter?"

The owner of the canteen pointed at Ye Kai with a cigarette stick, and said, "This young man knows Erhu, and he said he wanted to give you a word. I brought him here."

"Second uncle?"

Yu Xiuman didn't have the slightest impression of her second uncle. When she married in, the second uncle had been gone for many years, and there were no photos at home.He was shocked and afraid of Ye Kai who suddenly came to the door.

She didn't think about whether the second uncle's descendants had returned, but immediately reacted to whether the second uncle caused trouble and was found by someone.

Such things are not uncommon in the village.

But those people are all vicious, and this young man feels very close to him.

"Come in first." She said, stepping aside.

The owner of the canteen shook his head and said, "I'll take a stroll outside after sitting for a long time. I'll come back later. Let's chat."

He didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, if it wasn't for Ye Kai's easy-going and self-restraint, he wouldn't have mentioned this place at all.

Ye Kai smiled at the two of them, then walked into the door with his head down.

Sure enough, there are quite a few ducks in the yard. This house has three doors, one of which is the living room. Ye Kai has already seen the TV inside, and the other door is the firewood room.

The habit of burning fire and cooking is still maintained here.

She brought Ye Kai into the living room and said, "Sit casually, the countryside doesn't clean often, I'm afraid it will stain your clothes."

Ye Kai just wanted to be polite, but when he entered the door, he saw two little girls.

The older one was seventeen or eighteen years old, with mushroom hair, dirty school uniform, and short-sighted glasses.The younger one, less than ten years old, sat and watched TV with an orange in his hand.

Is this my sister?

Without waiting for confirmation, Ye Kai was almost certain that the two girls were related by blood.There is no reason, asking is the sixth sense.

The living room was cleaned very clean. Although the walls were yellowed, there were no footprints or other stains.Hanging a wall calendar from the Olympic period.

The two girls were quite introverted, looking at Ye Kai with curiosity and alienation in their eyes.

The TV was showing a family movie that was a hit some time ago.

The woman handed the orange to Ye Kai and said, "Come, eat some fruit."

Ye Kai took it over and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

As soon as she called out, she knew that Ye Kai was definitely not looking for trouble, and she let go of what she had been thinking about.He also sat on the side of the sofa and asked, "What did Second Uncle ask you to do with us?"

"What about his other family members?" Ye Kai asked.

The woman sighed and said, "Dad has been dead for many years. My man went hunting in the mountains last year and was bitten to death by a poisonous snake..."

Ye Kai pretended that his grandfather had come to ask about the situation here, and asked a lot of questions at once.

The eldest grandfather died when he was young, and the younger grandfather also fell ill and died.There are only women's husbands in this line, and a woman who married into the city.

They chatted a lot, and Ye Kai kept paying attention to their expressions.

The eyes are the windows of the soul.

Ye Kai saw kindness in their eyes, and some micro expressions told Ye Kai that they were not lying.I believe they don't have the time to read the FBI's micro-expression science.

After getting all the information out, Ye Kai revealed everything about himself.

Li Zhonghu is his grandfather, who lives in Rongcheng.The purpose of coming here is to find the ancestral home of mother and uncle, and realize their wish that they have been thinking about for a lifetime.

There are many relatives and friends in the village.

But the relationship is too far away.

Ye Kai personally thinks that having two younger sisters who are related by blood is enough. The older one is Li Shicai and the younger one is Li Shiqi.

Till now he has been timid.

The woman's name is Yu Xiuman, she has accepted Ye Kai's statement, and she is also very happy to know a relative.There was a smile on his slightly aged face.

Ye Kai looked at the two girls, suddenly thought of something, and took out a small bag of snacks from his travel bag.

The quantity is not large but there are many types. Ye Kai always prepares some snacks in his travel bag

Putting the bag on the table, Ye Kai took out two candies from it, and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Kai."
