Jiang Xuan couldn't stand it anymore and pinched his shoulders, "You kid are not lying to us, are you?"
Jiang Xuan has now begun to suspect that this guy Wen Shaoru made it up casually just to be able to follow his sister-in-law.
Even Su Yuanyuan on the side frowned and looked at him solemnly.
Wen Shaoru couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly put his hands together to apologize, and told the truth, "I'm from Lianhua Village! But, since my grandfather's generation moved out..."
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he counted in his mind that his grandfather's generation must be thirty or forty years old at least!
They are lucky that this village is still alive!
He was going to hit Wen Shaoru. Wen Shaoru had been scolded by Jiang Xuan a lot in the past two days. He almost had a physical reflex and subconsciously wanted to hide.
Su Yuanyuan looked at this small village, which was less than half the size of Wangjia Village, and raised her eyebrows slightly. It should be easy to find the old man in such a small village, right?
But after several people inquired about it, they all said they hadn't seen the old man for a long time.
Su Yuanyuan's long-burning hope was suddenly shattered, and huge loss swept her entire world.
How could it not be?
She couldn't accept this idea for a while. Blacksmith Zhao's address was correct. Why did everyone say they had never seen the old man again when he mentioned it to Lianhua Village?
"Then can you tell me where his original home is?"
Su Yuanyuan kept asking. The man saw that she was a foreigner and wanted to ignore her. But when he saw the pleading in her eyes, he finally softened his heart and pointed to the easternmost point.
"Non, keep walking eastward. The small thatched house at the end is where he lived before."
Su Yuanyuan followed his instructions and walked eastward.
Jiang Wenzheng grabbed her wrist and pulled her, his eyes were deep and distant, and his voice was much lower.
"Why don't you forget it, Yuanyuan."
It's really not worth spending so much time just for one of his legs.
Besides, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He didn't want to see the light in Su Yuanyuan's eyes dim again.
Su Yuanyuan's eyebrows knitted together tightly, and she raised her eyes to look directly at Jiang Wenzheng.
"I don't."
She raised her head, her petal-like red lips pursed tightly, the breeze blew the broken hair on her forehead, and she was as stubborn as the wild flowers fluttering in the wind on the cliff.
She didn't want to give up. She had already come this far, so she wasn't willing to give up.
She also wanted to see Jiang Wenzheng walking normally, and she also wanted Jiang Wenzheng to carry her home!
Even Jiang Xuan on the side was moved when he saw Su Yuanyuan's serious and unshakable look, and couldn't help but speak to Jiang Wenzheng.
"Brother, let's go take a look. What if there are any clues?"
Su Yuanyuan also had the same mentality. Even if it was one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, she would not miss it.
Jiang Wenzheng was moved by her tenacity, and his hand that was tightly holding Su Yuanyuan's arm finally slowly loosened his grip.
Su Yuanyuan turned around and walked towards the east with rapid strides. After walking only 500 meters, she saw a small and dilapidated thatched house.
The walls of the thatched house are made of mud. After being exposed to wind and rain, the wall on the southeast side has collapsed, and the thatch above has been blown away. There are only a few sparse ones hanging on it. It is a dilapidated scene. It is obvious that
No one has lived there for a long time.
Su Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly, lifted up her skirt and pushed open the wooden door.
The wooden door had long been in disrepair, and it fell apart as soon as she touched it. It fell to the ground with a clang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
She fanned gently with her hands and walked in slowly.
The small courtyard is not big, only about ten square meters. There is only an earthen house facing north and south. Looking in through the broken window, there is only an earthen kang inside, and the rest are all broken wine jars.
There are wine jars, big and small, almost all over the room.
Jiang Xuan also looked at the small courtyard curiously and couldn't help but sigh, "This old birthday boy is still an alcoholic!"
If you don't like drinking, why do you have so much wine at home?
Just when they were lost in thought, a middle-aged man carrying a hoe was attracted by the people in the small yard and changed his original route and walked towards them.
"Hey! What do you do?"
The clothes of several people he saw were different from his own, and the temperament of those people looked like they belonged to wealthy families, which was different from the rough farm men he usually saw.
Wen Shaoru stood at the gate of the courtyard. The earthen wall of the courtyard only reached people's chests. He just greeted people across the wall.
"Hello, I would like to ask you about this old birthday boy."
When the man heard that he was an old man, he looked to the right with his eyes imperceptibly. He had a dark face. Standing under the sun, his brows were furrowed and his face was covered with wrinkles like ravines.
"This old birthday boy disappeared a few years ago. No one knows where he went."
His statement was exactly the same as that of other people in the village. They all said that the old birthday boy had disappeared a few years ago. He had no children and no one went to look for him.
The man's eyes changed slightly and he looked at Su Yuanyuan and the others, "Are you relatives of the old birthday girl?"
He looked up and down at the clothes of several people, wondering when this old birthday boy, who was usually crazy, had so many rich relatives.
Jiang Wenzheng explained to him, "We just want to ask him about something, and if we can't find him, forget it."
After saying that, he was about to lead Su Yuanyuan away from the small yard, but Wen Shaoru on the side looked around curiously, turned to the man carrying the hoe and asked, "Um, I want to ask, is there anything else in the village?"
Someone named Wen?"
The man stroked his chin and thought, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he pointed at the dilapidated yard where they were, "There is another one, uh, this old birthday boy you are looking for."
He looked at Wen Shaoru thoughtfully, "Why are you asking about people with the surname Wen?"
Wen Shaoru explained to him, "My grandfather's generation was also from this Lotus Village, but he later went to the city. I want to ask if there are any relatives in this Lotus Village."
But I didn't expect that the only person with the surname Wen turned out to be the missing old birthday girl.
Now that the sun was shining brightly, the man took a hoe and found a shady place to sit down, "This old birthday boy has no children. His younger brother's family relied on his younger son to get rich and went to the city. I don't know what will happen next. Anyway, I just
Leave him here alone."
Su Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows. The elder brother's family moved to the city. Wouldn't this coincide with Grandpa Wen Shaoru's arrival in Fishan City?
His grandfather is the nephew of the old birthday boy, so he...
For a while, everyone focused their attention on Wen Shaoru. He also felt a little unbelievable and pointed at himself suspiciously, "Then he is my great-grandfather?"
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but sneer, patted Wen Shaoru on the shoulder, and teased him, "Okay, we are actually here to accompany you to find your relative."
