Jin Yutong

Chapter 395 Met with the archaeological team

"Brother Chen, why is your hometown called Shitou Ridge? It's a strange name."

After crossing the last river, following a winding mountain road and going around two hills, we saw the village. The girls sitting behind the off-road vehicle saw the place and turned their attention to the village in front of them. , the village in front of me is actually not much different from other mountain villages. They were all embarrassed to open their mouths to ask Chen Ran, and only Wang Zhenzhen didn't feel embarrassed at all. She called Chen Ran so affectionately.

"Because our village is on a mountain, there is a big stone on the top of this mountain, which looks like a lion's head, so it is called Lion Head Ridge."

Chen Ran didn't pay attention to Wang Zhenzhen's enthusiasm. Hearing her question, he answered her question casually. In fact, his hometown has another name besides Shitouling, which is Shitou Ling. Miaoling, the reason why it is called such a name, is the same as Shitou Ridge. There is a small stone temple next to the lion's head on the top of the mountain. It's just that the stone temple has collapsed now. This is not popular at the beginning of the year, so no one cares about it.

In fact, in the early years, the villages in the mountain villages generally had a stone temple in each village, especially the villages at the foot of the mountain. This is the same as the villages by the sea. The same is true for the village at the foot of the mountain. It may be the temple of the mountain god, or the temple of the king of the mountain. The temple of the king of the mountain is the most. The king of the mountain is the monster in the mountain. Besides, in that era, monsters were not all evil. For the villagers, monsters were also gods. That is, after watching too much TV in the past 20 years, they felt that monsters seemed to be terrible devils.

The name Shitou Ridge is actually not strange, and only those who are used to living in the city will find it a bit strange, but for people in remote mountainous areas, it is not strange at all, because most of the villages are called They are named directly after the place names, and the place names are also the names of this hillside and that mountain ridge.

While talking, Chen Ran's off-road vehicle also entered the village. Since Shitou Ridge was built on a mountain, the houses were built from low to high toward the mountain, with a winding road in the middle. A village road, the whole village road is uphill, and the houses on both sides are also on one hill and another.

The off-road vehicle boarded the first hill and turned left, which is Chen Ran's grandfather's house.

Grandpa Chen Ran's house has a big yard without a gate. The off-road vehicle is parked in the yard, and a few people come out of the house.

Chen Ran hasn't been back for two years, but the faces in those memories are clear. When he got out of the car, he hurriedly went up to him and called out: "Grandpa."

Chen Ran was able to remember them because most of them hadn't changed much, but they were much older, but Chen Ran was different. Chen Ran had changed too much. Ran recognized him: "It's Chen Ran, old Uncle Li, the boss of your second family is back."

"It's the kid Aran." Chen Ran's grandfather also recognized Chen Ran, and grinned cheerfully.

"Look at how tall this child is, baby, are you the only one who came back?" Chen Ran's "grandmother" is almost 70 years old now, and her memory and eyesight are not working well. People said that they knew it was their grandson who came back, and immediately pulled Chen Ran affectionately and did not let go.

"'Grandma', 'Grandma', I'm the only one coming back, little sister Xiaowen will be back in a while."

Chen Ran screamed tremblingly, but he felt very guilty in his heart. He never came back since he went to college, and he never came back during the holidays. The reason why he didn't come back was not only inconvenient, but also a The reason is that he doesn't have a deep relationship with his grandpa.

He only lived in his old home for a few years. Although he was very young in those few years, it was the time when he had a long memory, but in his memory, his grandpa was just Chen Min. The grandpa'grandma''grandma', even Chen Xiaowen's grandpa'grandpa''grandma', but not his grandpa'grandma''grandma', this idea is very strange, but in fact it is like this, mainly his grandpa' Grandma was too eccentric at that time, and she didn't consider him a grandson at all. This may be related to his father Chen Ping. When he remembered, it happened to be the time when Chen Ping separated from his family. The time was naturally during the Cold War, and the customs of the family were very traditional. The eldest was the one who carried on the family line, and everything in the family was given to the eldest. His father, Chen Ping, settled down naked. It was not until Chen Xiaowen came along that the relationship eased. Needless to say, there were ups and downs later.

What happened in the past is over, so I won’t talk about it, no matter how bad the elders did, I am still a junior, and I have to do what I have to do, not to mention that the feelings in my bones can’t be melted away.

When Chen Ran's "grandmother" pulled him to talk excitedly, Guo Hai, Wang Shien, Bai Bingyan, Mu Xiaohua, Chen Huijuan, Wang Zhenzhen also got out of the car, Chen Ran's grandfather and the village Several people hurriedly came forward to entertain them. Guo Hai was also an acquaintance. After a while, he got along with several people and greeted Chen Ran's grandfather happily: "Master, do you still remember me? Follow you up the mountain to dig out the hornet's nest..."

Bai Bingyan and the girls heard it interesting, and they all looked over with a smile.

"I remember that you are going to treat your mother, don't you? Is your mother cured now?" Grandpa Chen Ran's memory is not bad, so he remembered it after thinking about it.

Guo Hai grinned: "Okay, it's all over." What he was talking about was in the third year of high school. He heard from others that the hornet's nest and Dendrobium candidum can cure kidney disease, so he told Chen Ran Together, they secretly went to Chen Ran's old house to get the hornet's nest. It was Grandpa Chen Ran who took out the hornet's nest for him.

"'grandmother'."

After Mu Xiaohua got out of the car, she was both embarrassed and nervous. After hesitating for a while, she mustered up the courage to walk up to Chen Ran, followed Chen Ran and yelled loudly, her pretty face flushed, and she was very flustered.

"Ah Ran, this girl is so beautiful, who are you?" Mu Xiaohua is so beautiful, like a fairy, and Chen Ran's "grandmother" looked a little dazzling, so she smacked her lips. He looked at Chen Ran with certainty.

"Grandma, this is the granddaughter-in-law your eldest grandson found for you. How about it, is she pretty?" Before Chen Ran could answer, Guo Hai took the words carelessly, It made everyone present laugh, but to be honest, Mu Xiaohua is indeed beautiful, like a flower, young and old are afraid to look at it.

The old lady nodded again and again: "Beautiful, beautiful." Then she let go of Chen Ran's hand, and warmly grabbed Mu Xiaohua's hand.

Chen Ran smiled lightly, and asked Mu Xiaohua to accompany the old lady to talk, and then he greeted the others. These people were also from the village, and he also had some impressions of them.

After saying hello, they called Shang Guo Hai and Wang Shien to move out boxes and boxes of gifts bought in the car, and several people from the village also came to help.

Later, when he was going to climb the mountain, Chen Ran moved all the gifts into the house. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, he told his grandfather which gifts were for his big family. That is his grandfather's house, uncle's house, and uncle's house. In fact, it is a big family, because his uncle is a bachelor, and basically eats and drinks at his grandfather's house.

In addition to gifts for my own family, other things are like good cigarettes and wine. Every family in the village distributes two good cigarettes and a box of good wine. There are only a dozen of them in the whole village, so it is not too many. It's a custom here that when people from other places come back, they usually bring some things to distribute to each family, but they are not as generous as Chen Ran.

"Ah Ran, give them so much? Your dad gave them a pack of cigarettes when he came back last time." Chen Ran's grandfather was obviously a little bit reluctant. He could tell that these cigarettes and alcohol were all good things. , and Chen Ping also came back some time ago, and now everyone in the village knows that Chen Ran’s family is well-developed, and Chen Ping also brought things when he came back, so it’s fine for Chen Ran not to take them now, because it belongs to the family after all. .

"Grandpa, it's okay, take it all."

Chen Ran didn't take this matter very seriously, why use it if he brought it back and didn't send it out?

"Okay then." Chen Ran's grandfather has a good temper, and he is also a kind person. Chen Ran has said so, so let's do it this way, anyway, he has a good face.

Chen Ran hummed, and then asked again: "Grandpa, why didn't you see my uncle and uncle, aren't they at home?" His uncle and his grandfather lived in a big courtyard, The eldest and the third are in the city, and Chen Ping is in the county. His uncle is the only one at home, and there is no need to separate the family.

"We're all going up the mountain. An archaeological team came yesterday and said they were going to go up the mountain for archaeology. They called your uncle to go up the mountain together, and your uncle went with him. Well, the cars are all parked there."

Hearing Chen Ran's question, Chen Ran's grandfather smacked his lips and walked out of the room to point to Chen Ran.

"The archaeological team?"

Chen Ran was startled, and then asked strangely: "What kind of archaeology do we have here?"

There are mountains here. In such a poor mountain, it is impossible for someone to choose the tomb here. Besides, this is not a historic site. Those places on the mountain have been 'touched' by them, except for a tunnel Outside the battlefield, there is nothing else, and it is even more impossible to enter the primeval jungle.

As for why the archaeological team called his uncle, Chen Ran was not surprised, because his uncle is the village party secretary in the village, and he has a high prestige in the village. It can be said that the brothers of his father's generation did not expect much. His uncle, the archaeological team has entered the village, so naturally they need to ask the village party secretary for help.

Chen Ran followed and looked in the direction his grandfather pointed his finger at, and found that there were indeed three cars parked under the slope behind the house...

"Who knows what's going on, they asked if there is any Wusong Mountain here, your uncle said no, so they asked if there is a lake in the mountain here..." Chen Ran was wondering , his grandfather's puzzled voice came from his ear.
