C45 Chapter Chapter 45

"My grandfather, Brian's great-grandfather, came from you. When Brian was born, he was already gone, "Brian's father coughed twice.

A girl handed him a glass of water, and Brian's father took two sips. He began to narrate," Listen to my father. That year, my grandfather was poor because of his family. . . He went out to sea with the others in the village to find a way out. He didn't know that he was going to be transported to another place to work as a laborer, but no one told him. He said that he was tricked into boarding the ship. When they were passing by the sea on the ship, They encountered a strong storm, and the ship was overturned by the waves. My father said, Among the people who came out together, only my grandfather survived. My grandfather's water affinity is good. He grabbed a piece of wood. After drifting on the sea for a few days, he floated to Red Fish Island. My great-grandfather came back from fishing. He accidentally found my grandfather on the beach. At that time, my grandfather was already on the verge of death. My great grandfather found someone to help him home. My grandfather rested for a few days. It took me a while to recover. "

I listened quietly. In that era, many people in the country were shipped overseas to work as laborers. Who would have thought that Brian's great-grandfather was one of them.

"My grandfather is smart and capable, and knows how to do a lot of work. Not long after he came here, he also learned how to fish in the sea," Brian's father continued, "My great-grandfather liked him very much, so he married his own daughter to him, which was also my grandmother. And so, he stayed. "

"Then what did he say to you?" I asked curiously.

"My father said that in the beginning, my grandfather didn't know how to speak our language. He first used hand gestures, then slowly learned our language," Brian's father said.

"Then does he have an accent?" I asked.

"You didn't ask, I really didn't notice. " Brian's father said, "It seems a little, but we're used to it. "

"Did he tell us about his past?" I asked.

"Yes, he often told me about his childhood," Brian's father said. "He told us about his childhood games and food. He will tell us many stories about New Year's. We didn't quite understand a lot of things he told us. "

I understand. Brian's great-grandfather was talking about our Spring Festival.

"Father, does great grandfather love fighting roosters?" Brian interrupted, "Our island often has rooster competitions. "

"Yes," Brian's father said, "I heard from my father that my grandfather brought a poultry competition. I remember that he especially likes to watch rooster fights. He often brings me along to watch them. "

" What else does he like? " I asked.

"When we were young, he made us a toy. What's the English name again?" Brian's father asked.

"You're talking about spinnington, right, father?" Brian asked.

"Yes, that's the name. Use the rope to circle it a few times. Then use your little finger to hook the rope's head and throw it on the ground. When you throw it down, you must pull it back. That little thing will spin on the ground. Our children all like to play, "Brian's father said with a smile.

"I also like to play," Brian said. "I don't know yet. That was brought by my great-grandfather. "

Spinning Top was a top. When I was young, I played it too. Not only did I play it, but I also liked it. I could whip it with all my strength. The more strength I used, the faster I spun it.

"I think I still have one. Go and get it for me. Show it to Mr. Zhong," Brian's father said to Brian.

Under his father's guidance, Brian found a top on a cabinet in the corner of the main house and showed it to me. I saw that it was a prismatic wooden top with a small metal nail at the top.

"This is our southern top, it's different from the ones in the north," I said.

"Then my great grandfather came from the south," Brian said.

"Yes," I said. That's for sure. In that era, those who came out were all southerners.

"Mr. Zhong, take a look, and this one," Brian's father said, taking off the shell necklace around his neck and handing it to me.

I took it over to take a look, but I didn't find anything special.

"Take a closer look," Brian's father said, "There's a pattern on it. "

"Oh, I saw it. It's a Drago NPC's pattern," I said.

"Yes, it's Dragoonholx. I can also write," Brian's father said. He asked someone to bring a pen and paper, wrote two words on it, and then showed it to me.

Brian's father wrote two words on the paper: "Dragon" and "Phoenix. '

" Did he teach you that? " I asked.

"Yes," Brian's father smiled.

"Did he leave any other words?" I asked. I was surprised that Brian's father would write these two words.

"My grandfather didn't write much, I only remember these two words," Brian's father said.

"Isn't his name still written on his great-grandfather's tombstone?" Brian said.

"Oh, right, how could I have forgotten. . . His name was on the tombstone, and he wrote it himself," Brian's father said.

"Then take me to see it," I said. I really want to know what Brian's great-grandfather's name is.

" No problem, boss. I'll take you there right away, "Brian said.

I'll take my leave of Brian's father for now and follow Brian. Walking out of the main house, walking out of the courtyard, I went to a hill by the sea. There was a cemetery there. Bryan brought me to a relatively large tomb. There is a stone tablet erected on top of the tomb, There were only three words written on it: vertical. Under the wind and the sun, In addition, the texture of the stone was not very good, and the words had already become blurry. I looked at it for a long time. I finally recognized the first word, two pieces of wood. It was the word "Lin. " The second word looked like a word that could be used. However, just the word Lin was disproportionate to the word Lin on it. There should be another word on the left side. I look to the left and there is a vague vertical line. Then it should be a "Ah. " The third word was the most difficult to recognize. There was only a horizontal line and a cursory line. I compared it for half a day. An idea suddenly occurred to me, and I guessed that it should be a "six" word.

"Lin Ah six," I blurted out. " Yes, your great-grandfather's name should be Lin Ah Liu. "

"I never knew what my great grandfather's name was," Brian said, "My father and the others never said it, and I don't know the words on the stone tablet either. "

"Lin Ah Liu, now you know," I said.

"Yes, boss. What's his name?" Brian didn't remember.

"Lin Ah Liu," I said.

"Lin A6," Brian followed me and said.

"Yes," I smiled, "who carved this stone tablet?"

"I heard from my father that my great-grandfather carved it himself. When he was alive, it was done," Brian said.

Brian was right. Only his great-grandfather would write his own name.

"Then why is he buried here?" I asked again. According to the customs here, he should be buried in front of his own house.

"I'm not too sure either. I heard from my father that this was also decided by my great-grandfather before he left. Later on, when our family members passed away, they would all be buried here. Slowly, there would be this tomb," Brian said.

I didn't say anything.

" Oh, right, "Brian thought of something again," My father said that when my great-grandfather was alive, he often brought him here, sat on a hill, and looked at the sea. "

My heart skipped a beat, as if I had understood something.

"How many years has your great-grandfather been here for?" I asked.

"At least thirty to forty years," Brian said.

I didn't ask any more questions. I put my hands together and bowed deeply three times towards Lin Ah Liu's tombstone.

"Senior Lin Ah Liu, Senior Ling! Today, someone from my hometown came to see you. " I said, "You can rest in peace! I will remember you. I will tell your story to others. "

After saying that, I turned around and faced the sea with my back to Great Grandpa Brian's grave. I know, Lin Ah Liu, Great Grandfather Brian, why did you choose this place as his final resting place?
