C2112 Secret
"Uncle Wu, please don't say that. We don't care about our background. As long as you are willing, I can recognize you right now." Fann Binn smiled and said, "As long as you are my godfather and goddaughter, I will definitely take good care of both of you. I will let you live a happy life. "
Lee Qing smoked a cigarette at the side and said with a smile, "This Uncle Wu has obviously agreed. How can you still be Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu?"
"Hehe, that's my fault. Grandpa Wu, Little Ni's daughter. Fann Binn didn't bring any gifts with him. How about this? I have a piece of jade on my neck. Take it as a gift for my goddaughter."
Only then did Fann Binn remember that he didn't buy anything. How big of a deal was it to acknowledge his godfather and goddaughter? It was naturally impossible not to give something as a witness. This way, he thought of the Supreme Grade and Tian Yu hanging on his neck. This jade was given to him by Wu Qi on her birthday. It was not long after he wore it. Seeing that there was nothing to give him, it was naturally a good result to give him jade.
Of course, Little Ni did not dare to take it. Wu Boye also repeatedly waved his hands and did not dare to take it. At this moment, Lee Qing grabbed the jade and took a few glances at it. He was stunned. “ This... this is the best Kazufuru! My goodness, such a big piece is transparent and moist. It's definitely a sky-high price. How much did you buy it for?"
"I don't know either. It was given to me by my girlfriend on her birthday. She said it was a few million." Fann Binn did not know much about jade. He did not expect Lee Qing to be a good judge of jade.
"How... a few million?" This time, not only Lee Qing was dumbfounded, Wu Boye and his granddaughter were also shocked. Perhaps a few million was just a drop in the ocean to Fann Binn, but to them, that was money that they wouldn't be able to earn in a few lifetimes! They clearly did not expect that a casual gift from Fann Binn would be so valuable.
"This thing cannot be taken. It's too, too expensive..." Wu Boye repeatedly and resolutely requested, "People like us can't afford it."
"Look at you. What are you talking about? You are Fann Binn's godfather, so you are naturally my family. Why should I give you a piece of jade? " Fann Binn stuffed the jade into Wu Boye's hand and said, "Besides, Little Ni still needs to get married in the future. Can't you just treat it as my godfather's dowry?"
"This..." Wu Boye was a little hesitant. At this time, Lee Qing said, "Uncle Wu, since we are already called a family, it's not a big deal to send something to commemorate it. Your godson is rich. He is willing to give something worth millions. No one would be willing to do so if it was someone else! "
When Wu Boye heard Lee Qing's words, he sighed lightly and said, "Alright. I'll take this jade. My son died in an unjust manner, but he got this godson. I'm very glad and very happy."
At this moment, the wooden door was opened and a village woman walked in from outside. She was holding a steaming hot meal and placing it in front of them. Lee Qing laughed heartily and said, "Haha, the dishes are here. Alright, let's eat and drink. Let's celebrate. Come, let's thank Mr. Fann first. Without your help, there won't be a new future for Wangshan Village!"
Fann Binn hurriedly smiled and modestly said a few words. The three of them poured a full bowl of rice wine and gulped it down. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Wu Boye put down his chopsticks and said to Fann Binn. " What? ___ asked. Honestly speaking, it's nothing compared to the contribution you've made to our family! But after all, it is a rule passed down from our ancestors to keep secrets. I cannot break it. Now, you have become my godson, and you have helped my Wu family. If I don't say it now, then I will be the one being petty. Even if I have to go underground, I still dare to answer to my ancestors like this! "
"Godfather has said it seriously. It's only right for the family to keep secrets. If I didn't recognize you as my Godfather, I wouldn't have dared to force you to reveal the secret, would I? " In fact, Fann Binn had wanted to bring this up a long time ago. He hadn't had the chance to talk about it just now. Seeing that Wu Boye had taken the initiative to bring up the topic, he naturally went along with the flow and asked. "Godfather, did your Wu family really move out from the Wukan Village? What kind of village was the Wukan Village? Why did it disappear? And why did you migrate from that village?"
Wu Boye drank a mouthful of rice wine and shook his head at Fann Binn. " Yes, we are indeed the descendants of the Wukan Village, our ancestors. We have always lived in the Wukan Village. The reason why the Wukan Village was called the Wukan Village was because it was the late period of a dynasty. Our ancestor, the Wu family, was once a close subject of the Emperor, a loyal subject."
"Unfortunately, the Emperor was muddle-headed, and the flames of war were everywhere. It was also because of the evil officials and treacherous officials. The Emperor ordered the execution of the entire clan. Later, because the Wu family had an ancestor who had a life and death deal with the heroes of the Jianghu, therefore, a few hundred people from the Wu family escaped from the prison with the help of people from the Jianghu the night before they were killed. They fled all the way to this place."
"I don't know when it happened, but it was too far away. At that time, the old ancestors fled to the depths of the Loess Plateau, far away from the capital. This place was desolate and uninhabited. If we go any further, we will be in a desert, and we won't be able to walk anymore. Thus, they established their roots here and settled down. The village chosen by the Wu family was surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing a river. It was very hidden, so the pursuers could not find them. Gradually, they lived and multiplied here, forming a marriage alliance with other villages. Gradually, a large village was formed. Named Wu Zha, it means that this village was once the place where the people of the Wu family, who were about to be beheaded, lived. "
" So that's how it is... Then why did Wukan Village disappear for no reason? Could it be that the pursuers finally found them? " Fann Binn did not understand. Since they were living well in the Wukan Village... Why did this village disappear?
"During that era, the flames of war were everywhere. Not long after, a new regime destroyed the Imperial Court. Naturally, no one will pursue the crime of Wu family. The reason why Wukan Village was destroyed was because of natural disasters."
Wu Boye sighed with emotion, "At that time, Wukan Village was the biggest village within a hundred mile radius. People with the surname Wu were all over the village. It was a well-deserved local surname. But who would have thought that just as my grandfather left the village and went to do business, in an instant, the earth collapsed and the mountains collapsed. My grandfather could feel a strong vibration even far away from the earthquake zone!"
" Not long after, when my grandfather rushed back in a hurry, he found that back then, he was surrounded by mountains on three sides. The Wukan Village, which was facing the river, had long been buried in the mountain rocks. The mountain peaks that surrounded the three sides were also left with only one lonely mountain..."
"This huge earthquake has completely devoured the lives of all the The Wus. My grandfather was the only one who survived! After that, without his family, he could only bring his belongings to Wangshan Village. He married and had children here, giving birth to my father. And my father gave birth to me. "
Fann Binn finally understood. No wonder the map of the ancient Tang Sect was so different from the map of the modern world. It turned out that there was a huge earthquake in the past! Just from Wu Boye's description, this earthquake was at least at level seven to eight!
At this time, he knew the secret of Wukan Village, but Fann Binn could not help but worry. Such a huge earthquake happened near Wukan Village, what did this mean? This undoubtedly meant that Patriarch of Tang Sect's tomb was built near the Wukan Village, and it was very likely that it was damaged by the earthquake. If that was really the case, the Tang Sect graveyard might have been buried too. There was no need to talk about treasure hunting!
Fann Binn, who was full of worry, was distracted for a moment. In his heart, he really wanted to pray and pray. He hoped that Patriarch of Tang Sect's graveyard would not be damaged by the earthquake. If Patriarch of Tang Sect's tomb was damaged because of the earthquake and could not find the entrance, then all his efforts would be in vain.
The more Fann Binn thought about it, the more worried he became. He did not even have the mood to drink. He just wanted to know the exact location earlier. He wanted to measure the location of Patriarch of Tang Sect's tomb as soon as possible. After drinking a bowl of wine, Fann Binn said to Wu Boye. " Godfather, if I ask you to tell me now, can you find the exact location of the Wukan Village?"
"This... My grandfather once told my father the exact location, but I'm not sure if it's the exact location of the Wukan Village or not. After all, my father and I have never seen the Wukan Village with our own eyes. " Wu Boye thought for a moment, then said honestly," Because the Wu family only has us left, so we respect the deceased. Every year during the Qingming Festival, my father will bring me to pay my respects, and it will still be the same in my generation. So, it's not a problem to find that place, but let me tell you the exact location of the Wukan Village. That's not very clear either. "
"It doesn't matter. As long as I know the approximate location of the Wukan Village, that's all. We don't need to be very precise. " Fann Binn knew that it was already a miracle that the Wukan Village could be found after such a long time. The terrain had changed so much, so how could the descendants know the exact location?
According to the ancient map, the diameter of Wukan Village was less than a hundred miles from the entrance of Patriarch of Tang Sect's tomb. If the earthquake hit the Wukan Village, then Patriarch of Tang Sect's tomb would be affected.
But if the earthquake didn't hit the Wukan Village, and the Wukan Village was just buried by a landslide, then Patriarch of Tang Sect's tomb would most likely be intact. And all of this had to be investigated by Fann Binn himself.
When he thought of this, he continued, "Godfather, can I trouble you to accompany me to that place tomorrow? I want to explore the Wukan Village. As you know, as long as we travel enthusiasts can find our destination... Even if we're buried, it's still a form of victory."
Wu Boye immediately nodded his head and smiled, "Alright, no problem. I will accompany you tomorrow. However, that place is very remote now. Not only is it desolate and uninhabited, there are also no roads or vehicles. In order to get there, one has to rely on one's legs to climb over the mountains. The mountain path is very far and bumpy. Can you do it? "
"Of course not. Don't look at me, I look a little thin and weak. But outdoor activities are absolutely not a problem." Fann Binn said confidently. In fact, he was not just a simple person. He was afraid that even if Wu Boye couldn't take it anymore, he wouldn't have any problem. One should know that he was an inner force expert. Compared to ordinary people, endurance and endurance could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Since the agreement was made, Fann Binn gave another bowl of rice wine to Wu Boye and Lee Qing to express his gratitude. Ever since he became an inner force expert, his alcohol tolerance could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. It was because the inner strength in his body could help him quickly remove the alcohol in his blood. This was the same as drinking alcohol. In fact, the alcohol had already been rapidly digested. There was no way he could get drunk.
Just like that, the three of them chatted while drinking wine. They drank until the middle of the night before they finished all the rice wine that Lee Qing had brought. Wu Boye and Lee Qing were good at drinking, but they were also drunk.
Fann Binn, on the other hand, was very sober. After sending Lee Qing away, Wu Boye gave his own bed to Fann Binn, and he slept on the ground covered with straw.
Fann Binn looked at Wu Boye, who was sleeping soundly, and felt the honesty and kindness of the villagers in his heart. They always left the best things to the guests, such as the wooden board that could not even be considered a bed. This was already the best place that this family could take out. This friendship... It might be more valuable than inviting him to a five-star hotel...
