Chapter 406 Cause and Consequences

Bai Bingyan and several girls were playing nearby. Chen Ran asked the soldiers of the military sub-district to clean the horrion and pheasants that Kirin had hunted. Obviously, they were much better than him. Hearing what he said, the soldiers agreed and went busy.

Xiao Jun was also busy for a long time. Now he was also ready to rest and eat something. He happened to meet Chen Ran and pulled Chen Ran to talk about the past. Naturally, he first told Chen Ran the purpose of his coming to this place, but it turned out that he was looking for the bones of his grandfather, that is, the bones of his grandfather and brother.

During the period of the Republic of China, the Xiao family was also a big family, but when Xiao Jun's grandfather was born, the Xiao family was patronized by warlords and was destroyed. Only Xiao Jun's grandfather's eldest brother escaped with Xiao Jun's grandfather under the protection of a general. The general was also seriously injured and was not far from death. Before the general died , fostered the two brothers of the Xiao family in the home of one of his distant cousins. The distant cousin of the family and the two brothers of the Xiao family were naturally not very good to the two brothers of the Xiao family. Under unbearable patience, the boss of the Xiao family escaped with his younger brother, and Xiao Jun's grandfather was only two years old.

Later, needless to say, the boss of the Xiao family pulled up his younger brother as both as an elder brother and parents. The two brothers had a very good relationship. At that time, there was a lot of war in China and there were wars everywhere. At that time, the only way out was to join the army. After the boss of the Xiao family joined the army, he asked a servant to take care of his younger brother and set them down.

A few years later, after the boss of the Xiao family accumulated some money, he escorted his brother and this servant abroad. This year, Xiao Jun's grandfather was eight years old.

Although Xiao Jun's grandfather, that is, his younger brother, lives abroad, his contact with his eldest brother has never been interrupted, but after two years, there has been no news from his eldest brother.

At that time, Xiao Jun's grandfather was not yet an adult, only ten years old. When his eldest brother was there, there was nothing. His eldest brother had been no news, and the servant had a different heart.

Xiao Jun's grandfather wandered away for two years before he fled back to China with the workers in San Francisco. At this time, the domestic Anti-Japanese War was over, and it was the time of the civil war.

While begging for life, Xiao Jun's grandfather tried to find the whereabouts of his eldest brother. Even if he died, he had to find his eldest brother's bones, and this search lasted for decades.

However, decades have passed, but they have never been found. Until now, there is suddenly a definite clue, and the Xiao family sent Xiao Jun and his second uncle Xiao Tianhong to this place to look for it.

"The clues you got, your grandfather's bones were buried in this mountain?" After listening to what Xiao Jun said, Chen Ran suddenly realized that he was not much surprised by the story Xiao Jun told. After all, in the era of the destruction of the country, there were too many such things that happened. He read more books and saw more such things. What surprised him was that the bones of Grandpa Xiao Jun was buried here. In the mountain, you should know that although he is not too familiar with this mountain, he basically played it all when he was a child. Since the bones of Grandpa Xiao Jun are buried in this mountain, it is obvious that there is a story buried at the same time as the bones of Grandpa Xiao Jun, which is quite surprising.

However, Guo Hai and Wang Shien were extremely surprised to hear this, and they were also moved by the relationship between Xiao Jun's grandfather and two brothers. For decades, they have not given up to retrieve the bones of their eldest brother, which shows how deep their brother's feelings are.

In addition to being moved, it also touched Wang Shien a lot. In his impression, those people in the capital are all places that raise dung bets, and generally the family is also ruthless, while the Xiao family in front of him has given him a great change, not to mention the affection of the older generation, but only from the Xiao Jun in front of him to the filial piety of the older generation. Then it can be seen that they are obviously deeper than ordinary people's families.

Xiao Jun nodded: "Yes, if you can't be sure when you come, you are sure now. Have you seen it? According to the clues we got, my grandfather's bones are buried around the pool in this canyon, but I don't know the specific location."

As he spoke, Xiao Jun stretched out his hand and pointed to Chen Ran to point to the direction of the canyon in front of the Stone Lake, and his face was also happy. For so many years, his grandfather was about to leave with this regret, but he didn't expect that there was a clue suddenly. Although he had not found it yet, as long as there was an exact clue, he was not afraid to find it.

Chen Ran nodded. In his impression, there was indeed a pool in the canyon in front of him, as if there was a spring: "Haven't you found it yet?"

Xiao Jun shook his head with a bitter smile: "How can it be so easy to find? We have turned over several nearby mountains without any clues."

"The main reason is that it has been too long. It has been more than 60 years, and only a general location is marked on the map." Xiao Tianhong also frowned and shook his head.

"As long as it's there, let's look for it first. If we can't find it, we'll send someone. Even if we dig three feet of the ground, we have to find it back." Xiao Jun said firmly that his grandfather is also in his 70s this year, and he has been in poor health. Maybe he will go there sometime, and finding his grandfather's bones is his grandfather's greatest wish for so many years. Otherwise, even if his grandfather goes, he will probably not die, so he must be alive in his old man's house. At that time, help him fulfill this wish.

Chen Ran was silent. He could understand this matter, but he couldn't help. He pondered for a moment, remembered his grandfather and uncle, and asked, "Did you let the village head of the village below lead you the way when you entered the mountain? Why didn't you see them?"

Xiao Jun was stunned and immediately replied, "They took a few people to hunt." Although it was a little strange how Chen Ran asked this, he didn't think much about it.

However, Xiao Tianhong was confident and saw that Chen Ran seemed to care about them, so he asked, "What? Do Brother Chen know them? He now also knows that Chen Ran is He Zhenhua's life and death brother, but he doesn't know anything about Chen Ran, but for him, this identity can be valued by him. Even for the Xiao family, the He family is a huge thing.

Hearing Xiao Tianhong's question, Guo Hai and Wang Shien couldn't help laughing.

"Ha ha, my surname is Chen, and there is another village named Chen Jiazhuang below. I grew up in the village below. The village head who showed you the way is my grandfather, and the other is my uncle."

Hearing that he went hunting and took a few people with him, Chen Ran was also relieved. Except for one or two families in the whole village of Shitouling, the rest of the village were surnamed Chen, so it was not too much to call Chen Jiazhuang.

Chen Ran's words made Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianhong even look at Chen Ran in a while listening to Xu Hui's fashionable girls. It seems that it is difficult to imagine that people who grew up in such a ravine would have intersection with He Zhenhua and become brothers of life and death?

It's a little incredible to think about this. What kind of person is He Zhenhua?

"No wonder you came here. Why didn't you say it earlier? If I had known that I would have called you here directly, I wouldn't have had to bothered so much." Xiao Jun slapped Chen Ran on the shoulder in surprise. He is now looking for his grandfather's bones here. It's naturally best to have a local or an acquaintance.

"You didn't contact me. How did I know you came here?" Chen Ran said angrily.

"Ha ha, Brother Chen, I didn't expect us to come to your territory." Xiao Tianhong also greeted him with a smile. When he said that, he was already thinking about whether he had treated the old village head and the villager named Chen Yang badly when he came. After thinking about it, except for Xu Hui complaining twice when he came, he didn't seem to have treated them badly. Then he was relieved, but But he couldn't help staring at Xu Hui.

With this clue, he probably imagined Chen Ran's fate in his mind. Obviously, this young man named Chen Ran himself has nothing to do, and he probably has no power. Maybe it's just a little extraordinary, so he became a life-and-death brother with He Zhenhua.

As long as you don't offend such a person.

Understanding this, Xiao Tianhong still had a little contempt for Chen Ran.

Xu Hui's face turned white when he was scared. At this time, he really wanted to cry without tears. What's the matter? If he pulled out a person casually in the capital, he might have a big *. But in such a poor mountainous area, he pulled out a village head casually and undoubtedly had such a big fortune. It's the same as the probability of winning the lottery, but it also made him run into it.

Although he only complained about the other party twice, it was nothing, but if the old man held a grudge... Xu Hui felt a little uneasy.

Chen Ran didn't notice Xu Hui's look. Hearing Xiao Tianhong's words, he agreed: "No problem."

Of course, this is just polite words. Now that the Xiao family has found a place, they naturally don't need his help, and he can't help.

"You grew up here, so you should be familiar with this place, right? My second uncle and I came here because we got a map marked the place where my grandfather's bones were buried. Well, I told you from the beginning that this was the case at first. The clue was provided by Xu Hui, which started with Xu Hui's grandfather and my grandfather..."

Knowing that Chen Ran is local, Xiao Jun couldn't help but want to tell Chen Ran about the beginning and end of the matter to see if Chen Ran can provide some clues. Although he also inquired about Chen Ran's grandfather and uncle, they didn't know anything about it, and it was a little difficult to communicate with them. After all, Chen Ran's grandfather and uncle have limited knowledge. Moreover, he was not familiar with them at that time, and it was not easy to tell them about the affairs of the Xiao family, but Chen Ran was different. He regarded Chen Ran as his own person, so he had no scruples.

Chen Ran nodded, not to mention his friendship with Xiao Jun. He only said that if he could help the Xiao family, it would naturally be good for him. From Xu Hui and the soldiers in the military sub-district, it can be seen that although the Xiao family is not a good family, it is also very good, but can it help? He I'm not sure...

Hearing Xiao Jun mention himself, Xu Hui's face was shining and his expression was a little complacent. Even at this time, he could only be intoxicated, but he did not interfere.

Seeing Chen Ran nodding, Xiao Jun thought about it and slowly told Chen Ran a story.
