The strongest counterattack

After a few minutes, Qin Sheng finally led them to find the grave of his grandfather. He pointed to the small dirt bag that could not be seen as a grave if one didn't look carefully, and said, "This is it."

Both Qin Changan and Gongsun have been here before, so they are no strangers to this place, nor are they surprised.Qin Ran was very shocked. In Beijing, she had heard many old men talk about her grandfather's past. She always thought that grandpa was a mysterious and legendary figure. At least the grave of grandpa was very grand. Why is it so desolate and shabby?This is the real wilderness, it seems to be buried in a random place.

"That's it?" So Qin Ran asked in surprise.

Qin Sheng knew that his sister didn't believe it, but it was the truth, so he smiled wryly, "That's it"

Qin Changan took the things from Gongsun's hand, walked slowly towards the old man's grave, squatted down with some difficulty, his health is not very good recently.

Qin Ran and Qin Sheng saw that Qin Changan had already started to worship, so they stopped talking and walked a few steps forward, squatting on both sides of Qin Changan.

Three people, with a clear division of labor.

Opening wine, placing flowers and fruits, drawing circles and burning paper money, and finally lighting incense, these procedures are already familiar.

The incense is naturally Qin Chang'an, as the father's own son, he naturally represents the Qin family, unless the eldest brother who became a monk in Mount Wutai returns.

However, the task of sprinkling the wine was handed over to Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng took this bottle of the cheapest Xifeng 375 and sprinkled it all on the old man's grave. At this moment, he had a lot to say in his heart, so he muttered while sprinkling the wine "Grandpa, my grandson came back to see you again. This time, I am no longer alone. There are other people in our old Qin family. Your son and your granddaughter are also my sister. If you think about it, you will recognize it. I guess you have many In other words, it’s too early to leave.”

"Grandpa, I also have a lot of things I want to ask you, but I know that you won't tell me if I ask, so I don't ask any more. After thinking about it, I think that I am your grandson, and everything you do must be for my own good. It's just that I don't understand now. Now that I have returned to our Qin family, you don't have to worry about me anymore. As for the past, let the ashes return to the ashes. Since your old man chooses to sleep here, I guess I also don't want to be disturbed, so I won't tell anyone except our old Qin's family. Well, I'll pour you a bottle of wine. If you think it's not enough, remember to entrust me with a dream and see you next time You, bring you an extra bottle"

Qin Ran didn't have much emotion, after all, he didn't have any relationship with the old man, and he even met only a handful of times, and he didn't know if the old man was patriarchal.I'm just a little curious. Such a legendary figure actually chose to be buried here. Not everyone can have this state of mind.

As for Qin Changan, he still has the same temper. He has nothing to say, and there is nothing old to talk about between father and son. What he wants to say has been said last time. Besides, the old man knows everything in his life. After all, everything about the Qin family All the luck gathered on him and Qin Sheng.

But there is one thing he wants to say, and that is: old man, you chose Qin Sheng's path for more than 20 years, and I have no complaints.So starting today, let me take him on his next journey.

Where did it start and where did it end, Qin Sheng's life of the first 28 years also came to a successful conclusion today.

Chapter 381 Old house, old friend

More than 20 years ago, the old man brought Qin Sheng to Mount Zhongnan alone, the most blessed place in the world, and even buried himself in the wilderness of this foreign land as a lonely ghost, in order to spend 20 years accumulating for Qin Sheng. The good luck of the first life also began Qin Sheng's 20-year-long life of homelessness. During these 20-year years, Qin Sheng lost a lot of things.

Today, more than 20 years later, Qin Changan brought Qin Sheng back to Zhongnan Mountain, and ended with paying homage to the old man, officially announcing that Qin Sheng has begun his unpredictable second half of his life.

The hardships of the first 20 years have created Qin Sheng's glory in the second half of his life. No one knows whether it is worth it or not.

Offer incense, kowtow, and bow.The ceremony of worshiping Mr. Qin ended so simply, without any complicated procedures.

After Qin Changan got up, he looked at Qin Sheng and Qin Ran and said, "If you stay in Xi'an for another day, I will go back to Beijing first. I will ask Gongsun to pick you up at the airport at noon tomorrow."

Qin Ran nodded silently and said, "Dad, pay attention to your health, drink less during dinner, remember to take the medicine I bought for you, it will be better for your health"

"Understood." Qin Changan smiled in relief.

Qin Sheng nodded lightly at Qin Changan, and watched Qin Changan and Gongsun leave slowly. He also planned to stay for a while and tidy up the withered grass on his grandfather's grave.

After Qin Changan and Gongsun left, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran were the only siblings left here. Qin Ran cleaned up some weeds and dust on his clothes, Qin Sheng took off his coat and put it on a nearby tree, and squatted on the ground to start work.This kind of physical work is no stranger to him. When he was a child, he often went to the nearby villages to help with work, so that the villagers could help out when something happened.The most famous thing here is the grapes, so Qin Sheng likes the most when the grapes are harvested, he can go to the garden to pick them as much as he wants, and eat until he is full.

"Qin Sheng, how do you evaluate Grandpa's life?" Qin Ran asked subconsciously, staring at the solitary grave, still wanting to understand.

Sister's words made Qin Sheng ponder, how should grandpa evaluate his life?He didn't know who could comment on his grandfather, but he remembered that the old Taoist priest of Louguantai said something when he said goodbye to his grandfather, so Qin Sheng said slowly, "The Taoist priest of Louguantai said that some people live a lifetime, They never live for themselves. For this world, they are just a group of passers-by who don’t want to leave any traces, and don’t want to be remembered by anyone, because they live only for others. Taoism says this is the state of selflessness.”

"Without me?" Qin Ran thought about Qin Sheng's words, it seemed like what he said, grandpa's life.

Qin Sheng was busy for half an hour, and finally cleaned up his grandfather's place, but when he first arrived, he saw that someone should have said it before, because there were still burnt incense sticks on the grave, and he didn't know if it was the king. Auntie and Xinxin, or someone else?

"Grandpa, let's go, see you next time"

After saying goodbye to the old man, Qin Sheng took Qin Ran and left here. The car was still waiting for them by the side of the road. It was an employee of the Xi'an branch of the Qin family.

After getting in the car, Qin Sheng was going to take Qin Ran to dinner first, to taste the delicacies of our Great Xi'an. It should be said that he was greedy. At this time, eating a bowl of steamed mutton is the most comfortable thing.

"Qin Sheng, where did you live with your grandfather when you were young, or did you both live in the Lin family?" Qin Ran asked casually, wanting to know more about Qin Sheng's childhood.

Qin Sheng said with great interest, "At first, my grandfather and I lived near here. Later, after going to school, I lived in Lin's house on weekdays, and came back to live with my grandfather on weekends or during holidays. Grandpa started taking me to Xi'an, 20 Haven't left here in years"

"Ah" Qin Ran was a little shocked. It seemed to her that if she was allowed to stay in one place for 20 years, she would probably go crazy long ago.

Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Sister, let's go, I'll take you to see the place where I lived when I was young, and it's also the home of my grandfather and me."

Therefore, Qin Sheng asked to sit in the co-pilot seat, and he personally drove Qin Ran to a village not far away. Qin Ran was somewhat looking forward to it, but he was also fully prepared psychologically.

A few minutes later, they finally came to the nearest village. The old house where Qin Sheng and the old man lived was considered a single courtyard in the village, and it was a few hundred meters away from the village settlement. choose such a place.

The courtyard faced south and faced north, with its back against Zhongnan Mountain and facing Chang'an City. There was no fence in the courtyard, but a wall surrounded by tree stump fences, enclosing the three old brick and tile houses in the middle.There is a towering tree in the yard, which is the most common Chinese pagoda tree in Xi’an. This national pagoda tree is hundreds of years old, and now it takes two or three people to hug it.

This pagoda tree left a deep impression on Qin Sheng, and it is still luxuriant, but it looks a bit bleak in winter.I remember that in summer, every evening, the old man would sit under a tree to enjoy the shade, listen to a piece of Peking opera, and play an erhu, while Qin Sheng would stand not far away and play around. That feeling was really comfortable.

After so many years, after the old man passed away, Qin Sheng never came back here again. The yard was already dilapidated, full of wild weeds everywhere, and there were many broken things. The first choice for children to hide and seek.

"This is where you lived with your grandfather when you were young?" Qin Ran was a little shocked. She thought that the place where Qin Sheng and his grandfather lived might not be very good, but she never thought that the conditions would be so difficult. I have never been there before.

Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Yes, this is my childhood"

Qin Ran hugged Qin Sheng again and said, "Brother, how much hardship did you suffer when you were young, sister really loves you."

Qin Sheng couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister, you're here again. That's all happened in the past. Am I not doing well now? Besides, this place is pretty good. You haven't been to more remote places. I lived there when I was young." The places where people live are already very good, and those places are called the real suffering.”

"Well, my sister will make up for you twice as much for the hardships you have suffered before." Qin Ran said firmly, making Qin Sheng a little embarrassed, this sister really wants to hurt him to heaven.

"Come on, I'll take you in for a walk." Qin Sheng took Qin Ran's hand and walked in. The car was parked at the door, and the driver was waiting for them in the car.

Although the yard is surrounded by tree stumps and fences, the two gates are made of pine wood and locked with a lock. Qin Sheng's key is left in the bedroom of the Lin family, and he seems helpless. .But this was not a problem for Qin Sheng, he picked up a brick casually from the ground, and under Qin Ran's astonished eyes, he broke the lock with one brick.

"Let's go." Qin Sheng shrugged his shoulders at his sister, as if he had done something big, a little complacent.

After entering the yard, Qin Sheng used a wooden stick to open the way in front, and Qin Ran followed closely behind him. Qin Sheng who was in a good mood introduced Qin Ran to the old house by pointing here and there, but those who stayed in the old house were all They are worthless things. Many of my grandfather's things are deposited with the old priest in Louguantai, such as the expensive erhu and guqin.

After strolling around for a while, Qin Sheng also found it boring, so he was about to take Qin Ran out. At this time, a car passed by the yard, and saw Qin Ran and Qin Sheng inside. The young man who was driving rolled down the window to face them. shouted "What are you doing?"

After finishing speaking, the young man stopped the car and ran over angrily, but he was a little surprised to see the big Benz parked at the door, and he didn't know where the rich man came from, so he came here to have fun.

"What are you doing here?" The very mighty young man asked. For the people in the village, although the yard has long since fallen into disrepair, the old people and children living in the yard have a deep connection with them. Feelings.Especially the old man, who has helped the village with several major events, so the villagers are very grateful to the old man, and have been spontaneously guarding the yard.Although the old man has passed away, his grandson is still alive, but he has not come back for so many years.

Qin Ran was a little worried, not knowing what the young man in front of him wanted to do.

Qin Sheng didn't care at all, and said with a smile, "Hu Zi, it's only been a few years, don't you know me?"

The young man whom Qin Sheng called Huzi was stunned for a moment, and then he took a few steps forward before he recognized the man in front of him. He didn't expect it to be Qin Sheng.

Huzi's expression turned into surprise in an instant, and then he rushed to Qin Sheng quickly, hugged Qin Sheng's shoulder and said, "Fuck, Qin Sheng, it's you. Fuck, what a surprise!" , why are you back?"

Huzi was full of foul language, which made Qin Ran a little uncomfortable, but she could hear the surprise and emotion in these words.

Qin Sheng punched Hu Zi, "This is my home, why can't I come back?"

"Damn it, do you even know this is your house? How many years has it been since Grandpa Qin passed away? Where the hell have you been? We all thought you were dead!" Hu Zi was even more excited No way.

Qin Sheng often got into fights with them when he was a child, and he was used to this way of speaking. After all, he was a native of the village. Although his words were foul language, he expressed his most sincere feelings.

Qin Sheng responded, "Master draftsman, I won't die even if you die."

Huzi laughed loudly when he heard this, and then he noticed the beautiful and ugly beauty next to him, and he stuttered nervously, "This...this beauty...beauty...is...who is it? You...girl friend?"

Qin Sheng threw his fist again and said, "Fuck you, this is my real sister."

Huzi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Sister, sister, hello, sorry, sorry, I'm a rough person, sister, don't take offense"

"Hello" This is Qin Sheng's friend, Qin Ran did not reject people thousands of miles away, and responded politely.

Huzi said at this time, "Let's go, don't stand here, go to my house and let's have a good chat. I guess everyone doesn't know that you are back, and you don't know how much everyone misses you."

Qin Sheng looked at Qin Ran a little embarrassed and said, "Huzi, let's change another day, we still have some things to deal with today."

"Another day, a woolen yarn, walk around, who knows when you will see you next time. What's the matter for the New Year's Eve, and I don't care about this time. Isn't it just the New Year's Eve, everyone is back It's hard to get everyone together." Hu Zi didn't give up, insisting.

Qin Ran smiled lightly and said, "Qin Sheng, I'd better meet you old friends. I don't know when we will see you again."

Qin Sheng was thoughtful, as if as his sister said, he really didn't know when he would come back again, and he also wanted to know how these childhood playmates are doing now.

So, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran followed Huzi to a village not far away. Huzi drove ahead, and the driver followed behind in a Mercedes. Huzi kept making phone calls along the way.If Qin Ran heard the way he spoke, he would definitely laugh out loud again. Qin Sheng was used to this kind of environment since he was a child.

When they arrived at Huzi's house, Qin Ran and Qin Sheng were startled. Be good, how many people are here...

Chapter 382

When he was a university student in Shanghai, every time Qin Sheng came back from winter and summer vacations, he would first go back to Zhongnanshan to see his grandfather, and spend two days quietly with his grandfather before going to the Lin family.At that time, for him, wherever his grandfather was, he was there.

Therefore, the small village of Zhongnan Mountain may not be considered Qin Sheng's hometown, but Qin Sheng definitely has a lot of affection for this place.What's more, his friends in Xi'an, apart from the gang of buddies he met in junior high school, are just these childhood friends in the small village.

This village is neither big nor small, and there are only a hundred households. However, the village with its back on Zhongnan Mountain and close to Daxi'an is not poor. Every household is built with beautiful two-story buildings, and some even have more luxurious ones. villa.Not to mention that many people in the village do business and become officials in the city of Xi’an. Even if they open farmhouses at the foot of the mountain, many people are rich. After all, Zhongnan Mountain is overcrowded every summer. Agriculture has also been lifted out of poverty.So it's the Chinese New Year soon, and there are cars of different grades parked at the door of every household in the village, and the door is also very beautifully decorated.

Under Huzi's enthusiastic publicity, the news of Qin Sheng's return spread like wildfire. Everyone was curious about what Qin Sheng had become after disappearing for so many years, whether he was brilliant or desolate?After all, Qin Sheng was considered a figure in the village back then, he could be said to be the king of children.So before they arrived at the door of Huzi's house, many villagers and childhood friends had already gathered at the door.

After Huzi parked the car and got off, before he could stand still, a villager asked, "Huzi, didn't you say that Qin Sheng is back? Where are you? Don't lie to us."

Huzi pointed at the Mercedes-Benz that followed and shouted confidently, "Third uncle, why are you so anxious? Both of your daughters are married, and you still want to let Qin Sheng become your son-in-law. It's been so many years. "

"You bastard's wings are so hard, you dare to laugh at me." The honest man named Uncle San showed his yellow teeth and laughed, but he was not angry. It's like this in the village. They always like to joke with each other and hurt each other. Everyone I like to get together when I have nothing to do, and talk about who's parents are short.

Another young man of the same age asked, "Huzi, ignore your third uncle, and tell us about Qin Sheng. I haven't seen this guy for many years. When I was young, I often got beaten by him in fights."

At this time, the driver of the Qin family drove the Mercedes-Benz and turned towards the door of Huzi’s house. Huzi pointed at the Mercedes-Benz and said, “Isn’t it? There are full-time drivers, look at your [-] million."

After everyone heard what Huzi said, they subconsciously looked at the Mercedes-Benz that was driving from behind. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, including surprise, doubt, envy, and jealousy, but everyone surrounded them without hesitation, wanting to Let's see what Qin Sheng looks like today.

"Tsk tsk, there are so many people, Qin Sheng, I didn't expect you to be quite popular in the village." Seeing so many people, Qin Ran couldn't help but said.

Qin Sheng didn't expect so many people to come, and said triumphantly, "Then what do you think, when I was a child, I was a grassroots in our village, and people often asked grandpa to make me a baby kiss?"

"Yo, how did I know that my younger brother is also good at bragging?" Qin Ran covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly. Of course, she would not believe Qin Sheng's words, knowing that he was joking.But now she rather likes to chat and joke with Qin Sheng without distance, this seems to be the normal way of getting along between siblings.

After the car stopped, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran got out of the car unhurriedly. Both of them have seen the world, especially Qin Ran, where has he not been?Of course, you will not be intimidated by the scene in front of you.

As soon as Qin Sheng got out of the car, the villagers recognized him, and excitedly turned around and shouted to everyone, "It's really Qin Sheng, hey, it's Qin Sheng, it's really Qin Sheng!"

Everyone else has already recognized Qin Sheng. After all, Qin Sheng has only left here for four or five years, and his appearance will not change much.Everyone rushed to say hello to Qin Sheng, which made Qin Sheng, who had just got off the car, overwhelmed and felt like a star.

Qin Sheng is very familiar with these villagers. He can recognize everyone, which makes him feel very friendly. , Uncle Wang's leg is healed..."

For a while, the scene at the gate was extremely lively, as if someone was getting married, and every villager's face was filled with enthusiastic smiles.

Qin Ran had already got off the car at this time, and many villagers immediately turned their attention to Qin Ran. When have you ever seen such a beautiful woman with such a temperament? Looking at Qin Ran, many people muttered in low voices.

Some people directly yelled, "Qin Sheng, you brought back your girlfriends, you are still promising, and the girlfriends you found are all so beautiful."

Being regarded as Qin Sheng's girlfriend again, Qin Ran lowered his head and smiled bitterly in embarrassment, Hu Zi quickly explained for Qin Sheng, "Don't talk nonsense, this beauty is not Qin Sheng's girlfriend, this is his sister."

Only then did everyone understand, but most of them didn't really believe Huzi's words. After all, everyone knew that Qin Sheng didn't have a sister, so it was probably just a lie.

"It's alright, alright, let everyone give way, don't surround yourself, it's very cold outside, let Qin Sheng and the guests go inside, let's go in and talk if you have anything to say." Huzi's father and mother were also among the crowd , yelling at the crowd, as if Qin Sheng came to their door, it was his relatives and distinguished guests, which made them extremely proud.

Only then did the crowd come back to their senses, and they greeted Qin Sheng and Qin Ran into Huzi's house, and the whole room was filled with villagers in an instant, and many villagers were on their way.

So, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran, who were going back to the city, couldn't leave even if they wanted to. A continuous stream of villagers and childhood friends rushed over. Everyone greeted Qin Sheng excitedly, and then began to talk about the old days.Some people praised Qin Sheng for his promise, but those who graduated from key universities were different.Some people asked where Qin Sheng had been all these years, and why he hadn't heard from him, as if he had disappeared.Some people asked Qin Sheng where he is currently employed and what business he does.Someone also asked Qin Sheng if he had a girlfriend or if he was married.Of course, there are also those who speak in a strange way. After all, there are everyone in the village, especially those who were dissatisfied with Qin Sheng at the beginning, but now think they are better than Qin Sheng.

Anyway, there are all kinds of topics, and everyone's starting point is also different. Qin Sheng has lived in such an environment since he was a child, so he naturally knows how to deal with these people.

Qin Ran is more popular than Qin Sheng. After all, beauties are treated like this everywhere. She enjoys chatting with the villagers and asking about interesting things about Qin Sheng's childhood. This is the quickest way for him to understand Qin Sheng's childhood.Since the beauty is interested in these things, the villagers are also happy to tell her that if she can make this big beauty smile, she will be able to wake up with a smile at night.

In this way, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran stayed at Huzi's house for a full three hours. They felt that the time was almost up, so they got up to say goodbye to the villagers and prepared to leave. After all, they were going back to Beijing tomorrow morning, and they had more important things to do do it.

Everyone hadn't seen Qin Sheng for many years, and there were endless things to talk about and questions to ask. Qin Sheng was about to leave as soon as he came back. Of course, everyone couldn't bear it.Some people say that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and you haven’t celebrated the New Year in the village for many years, why do you have to leave after the Chinese New Year?Some childhood friends said, Qin Sheng, it's rare that you come back, and the brothers in the village have also come back, and they will welcome you at night.

The villagers are all well-meaning, and Qin Sheng understands this, but he really has to go, and he can't leave too little time for Aunt Wang and Xinxin.So I could only explain it to everyone earnestly, and Qin Ran echoed by the side.Qin Sheng could also feel that some people's attitudes had changed. He seemed to think that he didn't take the villagers seriously now that he was successful, and Qin Sheng didn't bother to explain so much.

Seeing that Qin Sheng had to leave, Huzi's parents had no choice but to retreat and said that even if they wanted to leave, they had to eat dinner before leaving.

To be honest, Qin Sheng really wanted to stay and have a good time with everyone, but this time the time was too tight, so he could only politely decline the kindness of Huzi's parents again.

Seeing this, it was difficult for everyone to continue to stay. They got up and sent Qin Sheng and Qin Ran out of the house, somewhat disappointed and emotional.

At the door, Qin Sheng pulled Huzi and said, "Huzi, I really have something to do this time, I hope everyone can understand, it's not that I, Qin Sheng, are arrogant or look down on anyone. If there is no accident, I will stay in Xi'an next year. It's time, we'll have a good time with you all when the time comes."

"It's okay, everyone can understand, and those who don't understand, don't be as knowledgeable as them," Hu Zi said in a very understanding manner.

Qin Sheng patted Huzi on the shoulder very relievedly and said, "Huzi, I left you my phone number, so you remember that I came out of the village and grew up eating a lot of food. Don't worry if I leave Wherever I go, no matter how big I do or how much I achieve, I will never forget my roots, so if there is any big event in the village, please remember to notify me."

"Hahaha, don't worry, I'll leave it all to me," Huzi agreed with great loyalty.

Qin Sheng gave Huzi a few more instructions, and then turned to greet the villagers, "Grandpa and aunt, uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts. Qin Sheng is sorry for everyone this time, and I hope you will forgive me. I will come back next year to see Everyone"

Most of the villagers waved goodbye to Qin Sheng politely, and some sneered at it. Qin Sheng didn't pay much attention to it, but Qin Ran noticed it.

Qin Sheng and Qin Ran finally boarded the car. He rolled down the window and continued to wave goodbye to everyone. He didn't look away until the driver drove the car onto the road.

He didn't plan to go back to the village, but when he came back by chance, he sighed and sighed. Those childhood friends have changed now. Some are prosperous, some are swollen, some are down, and some are bitter. Everyone has their own life. , but it is no longer what it used to be.

Going up the mountain to catch rabbits and down the river to catch fish, playing in the mud in the fields, playing hide-and-seek in the woods, how carefree they were when they were young, but now the burden of life is on them, and their innocence has long been worn away, and what they get is a philistine And mundane and numb.But this is a stage that everyone will go through, including that he is no longer the kid he was back then.

Qin Sheng has feelings for this place, these villagers and his childhood friends, so he feels that his life has settled down now, and if he returns to Xi'an in the future, he can go back to the village by the way.He came from here, and these villagers can't poke the dead grandfather's back and say, look at your grandson, what a white-eyed wolf, now that he is capable and successful, he even forgot about him.

Of course, the dead old man would not care about these worldly opinions, but Qin Sheng should care, after all, his grandfather was buried here, so what if someone will dig up his grave one day?Hahaha, of course this is a joke.
