Chapter 2 Liu's Family Tree
Update time:2011-10-31
Xiao Wenzhuang walked into the room angrily. Chen Yongtao hugged Xiao Feng who had fainted. Tears flowed from his eyes but he didn't know what to do. Countryside women are like this. When something goes wrong, they are at a loss and can't tell the difference between east, west and north.
. Just when Chen Yongtao was anxious, Xiao Feng's grandfather Xiao Zaifu walked up on crutches.
Xiao Wenzhuang has three brothers, and they have all separated. Xiao Zaifu lives with the third brother, and Xiao Wenzhuang lives above. Xiao Zaifu heard the noise in the eldest brother's house from a distance, and knew that something must have happened. The eldest brother was a drinker, and he would get drunk whenever he drank.
When he scolds someone, he either beats his son or scolds his wife. He never thought that his grandson would be beaten unconscious by his son. Although Xiao Zaifu has three sons, his three daughters-in-law are not up to par. Now only Xiao Feng, his grandson, says he is not sad.
That's weird.
A man is a man after all. Although Xiao Zaifu is old, he still understands the seriousness of the matter. He and his eldest daughter-in-law first carried the grandson into the house and put him on the bed. Then he told Chen Yongtao to keep an eye on Xiao Feng, and he hurriedly went to call a doctor. Waiting until
Xiao Zaifu invited the doctor back. Xiao Feng had already woken up and the bleeding had stopped. The doctor prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs to Xiao Feng and helped him bandage him. He also told Chen Yongtao to pay attention to some things, so he didn't mention them too much.
When Xiao Zaifu saw that his grandson was fine, he went to Xiao Wenzhuang to question him, only to learn that Xiao Feng had reported to school and had a fight with his classmates. Xiao Feng's punch was so hard that Li Jin's cornea was ruptured.
The eye was almost scrapped. According to the doctor's preliminary estimate, the treatment will cost at least two thousand, and Li Jin's vision in that eye can only be guaranteed to be 0.8 in the future. In other words, Li Jin will have to wear glasses to go to school in the future.
.[
Moreover, the doctor cannot guarantee whether there will be any sequelae in the future. Li Jin's father also said that if Xiao Wenzhuang took out 5,000 at a time, everything would be fine, and he would not trouble them again in the future. You know, a household with 10,000 yuan at that time could
To become the richest man in the village, worth 5,000 yuan, a family like Xiao Wenzhuang could not make it by selling everything.
Xiao Wenzhuang has a bad temper. He would not be Xiao Wenzhuang if he didn't get angry when something like this happened. Xiao Zaifu sighed. He knew the situation in the boss's family best. When the family was separated, he gave the boss 50 kilograms of grain and a pot.
.
Over the past few years, the boss has not saved much money. He is not a good person, and there is not much food left in the family. Now that it is like this, it seems that I have no choice but to help him.
But to be honest, even if Xiao Zaifu wanted to help, he couldn't help much. He had no choice but to suggest Xiao Wenzhuang to talk to the Li family again, and then he would mobilize the second and third sons to find a solution.
Xiao Wenzhuang had no choice but to accept his father's advice. Although he had a bad temper, it did not mean that he was stupid. Besides, how could someone who could engage in superstitious ideas and get along well in the countryside be stupid?
If he didn't like drinking, why couldn't he save money? Xiao Wenzhuang went out to Li's house without mentioning it. Xiao Zaifu went over to check on Xiao Feng's situation. He knew that his grandson might not be able to go to school in a few days. After thinking about it for a while, he asked Xiao Feng to follow him.
Go down and get something.
Although Xiao Feng was in pain all over, it was hard to refuse when his grandfather asked him to get something. When he arrived at his third uncle's house, there was no one in the house. His uncles and aunts had all gone to work, and even his grandma was working in the vegetable field. At that time,
Not doing anything means going hungry and being busy at home and outside.
Xiao Zaifu asked Xiao Feng to carry the stairs with him. It took a lot of effort for the two grandfathers and grandsons to carry the stairs. After all, one was older and the other was younger. The nutrition at that time was not up to par, so neither of them had much strength. It was not easy to build the stairs.
Xiao Zaifu asked Xiao Feng to go to the attic to get a small wooden box.
The small wooden box was not big, but it was very heavy. Xiao Feng felt that it weighed at least 20 kilograms. He did not know what kind of tree it was made of. It even had a strong fragrance. Smelling the fragrance, Xiao Feng actually swallowed his saliva.
It felt very strange.
I even thought inexplicably that people would want to eat it after smelling this fragrance. I don’t know why no mice chewed up the box or stole it. Xiao Zaifu stroked the small wooden box with a complicated expression on his face. He asked Xiao Feng to sit down and slowly opened it.
There were several small books in the small box. Xiao Feng saw that one of them had "Liu Family Tree" written on it.
Xiao Zaifu opened several books. In addition to "Liu Family Genealogy", there is also "Zengguang Xianwen". There is also another book that has no name and I don't know what it is. However, these three books have one thing in common, that is, they are very
Old, it should have been there for many years.
Xiao Zaifu first opened the "Liu Family Tree" and handed it to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng opened it and saw two names written on the first page, one was Liu Xiu and the other was Yin Lihua. There were two sentences below, which read, "
To be an official is to be a golden god, and to be a wife is to be a beautiful woman."
Xiao Feng looked at his grandfather in confusion, and Xiao Zaifu sighed, then explained to his grandson in a proud voice, "You are only in fifth grade now and have not learned this history yet. Maybe when you grow up, you will truly understand
Understand the meaning of these two names."
It turns out that the ancestors of the Xiao family are not really surnamed Xiao. They date back to a long time ago. They can be regarded as descendants of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. As for why they changed their surname later, it is of course to avoid the change of political power.
Because the place name here is Xiaojiachong, the ancestors of the Liu family simply changed their name to Xiao.
Xiao Zaifu opened the last page of the family tree. There were many names written densely on that page. Some of them were known to Xiao Feng, including his parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts, and most of them were unknown to him. Those were all from the Xiao family.
, can also be said to be the ancestor of the Liu family.
Xiao Zaifu picked up the brush on the table, dipped ink in the inkstone, and then wrote Xiao Feng's name under Xiao Wenzhuang's name under the dividing line between his own names. From now on, Xiao Feng was truly the eldest grandson of the Xiao family.
.
Gently covering the family tree, Xiao Zaifu was briefly absent-minded. Soon he adjusted his mind, picked up another book, the one without a title, and handed it to Xiao Feng and said: "Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty has not yet truly
When he started the army, he married Queen Guanglie Yin Lihua. It can be said that it was precisely because of the help of the Yin family that Emperor Guangwu was able to achieve such a great cause. This book records some of the affairs of the Liu and Yin families.
Secret."
Xiao Feng took the book handed over by his grandfather and opened it. The first page was about Lao Tzu turning into a beard. This mythical story was told to him by his grandfather when he was very young. According to legend, Lao Tzu rode a green ox to teach the world and passed by Han Valley.
When passing the pass, he met Yin Xi, the magistrate of Hangu Pass. Yin Xi felt the virtue of the saint and personally swept the road, burned incense to welcome the saint, and performed the disciple's ceremony. After that, he followed the saint to learn Taoism for several years, and was passed away 100 years later.
The saint was conferred the title of Supreme Real Person and was able to ascend to heaven.
As for Yin Xi’s descendants, they changed their surname from Yin to Yin after he ascended to heaven. The ancestor of the Liu family Yin Lihua was Yin Xi, and the Yin Lihua family relied on the Taiqing Immortal Secret left by Yin Xi to help them
Liu Xiu founded the immortal Liu Dynasty.[
Xiao Feng seemed confused after seeing the origins of Lao Tzu's transformation into Hu and the Yin family. The form at that time was that the country was promoting the eradication of the four olds and superstition. At that time, temples were demolished everywhere and statues of gods were burned. If it is true,
If there are gods or Buddhas, then why don’t their temples and statues appear when they are demolished or burned? So people at that time were so entangled, don’t believe it, it was passed down from the older generation.
Yes, what the older generation said makes more or less sense. But for children or younger people, it is a bit confusing.
This is what the country’s textbooks say. After all, what the older generation talks about are legends and stories. Don’t everyone just say it in black and white? It’s too confusing whether you should believe it or not. There are some Liu in the back of this book.
There are legendary stories about the ancestors of the Yin family or the Yin family, including getting married to the Baihua Fairy, and being promoted in a day. There are many myths. Xiao Feng was stunned for a while, and his mind was not very strong at a young age.
, once these stories that originally existed in myths are related to your ancestors, you have no choice but to believe them.
Just tell a little story about Shaohua Mountain to understand. The story about Shaohua Mountain Eagle Stone is related to Liu Xiu. According to legend, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to overthrow Wang Mang and usurp power, the family surnamed Liu
The ancestors performed touching deeds one after another.
Among them, the story of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, is naturally the most widely circulated. Legend has it that once Liu Xiu failed to raise an army and was chased by Wang Mang. He chased him to Shaohua Mountain in Hua County. Liu Xiu panicked and ran away in a panic.
He was really hungry, so he caught fish from the river and cooked it. When the fish was almost cooked and ready to eat, Liu Xiu turned around to get firewood to add fuel to the fire. Unexpectedly, an eagle sniffed the fragrance of Laojiu beside him.
, taking this opportunity, he flew over and took the fish away with a roar.
Liu Xiu was really angry at that time. He was chased for dozens or hundreds of miles. He finally managed to get something to eat, but was robbed by a flat-haired beast. In anger, he cursed the eagle, "
You damn eagle, I will cause the sky to thunder and strike you, so that there will be no fish in this river from now on, and you will starve to death."
After hearing the emperor's instructions, Lei Gong actually believed it and thundered on the spot. He split a mountain and enveloped the eagle. From then on, the eagle could only stand by the river and could no longer eat fish.
In that river, the Dragon King did not dare to ask his aquarium to stay there anymore. After that, no wild fish could be found in that river.
Even to this day, there are wild fish in other rivers in Shaohua Mountain, but there are no wild fish in this river, which is strange even if it is not strange.
