Chapter 1070: People Can't Forget Their Roots (Fifth Watch)

The woman's gaze shifted to Yang Ruoqing again: "I'm leaving, we will meet again someday."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Well, madam, let's go!"

……

The woman left first under the escort of her men.

Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing stood in place for a while.

Yang Ruoqing took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

"The texture is really good, even better than the ruby ​​on the hairpin that Ning Su gave Xiao Yu."

Like a jade expert, she looked and evaluated over there.

"Send this jade pendant to a jade store, at least a few hundred taels of silver."

"This lady must be a noble from Daliao!" she said.

Luo Fengtang didn't say a word, his focus at the moment is not here.

"What's the matter, why don't you talk?"

Yang Ruoqing noticed his strangeness and asked.

He came back to his senses, with a dejected expression on his face.

"I originally planned to come to this canyon, hoping to find some clues."

"However, I found nothing at all." He said.

Yang Ruoqing looked around, and said, "It's been 19 years, and even if there were any clues, it would have been wiped out long ago."

"This matter, don't be in a hurry. I can't find it here, maybe there are other places?"

"Old Man Yan will help us, just wait patiently, we've come here not far away anyway."

With some comfort from her, Luo Fengtang finally felt better.

The two plan to exit the canyon.

……

Back to Yan Huai'an's home.

At night, after dinner, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang planned to go back to the house to rest.

Yan Huaian stayed behind.

"A guest will come over later, don't leave, stay and meet with us," he said.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised.

He glanced at the sky outside the house.

After supper, every household is going to sleep behind closed doors.

Who's too busy to come here so late?

Is it...?
She cast her eyes on Yan Huai'an for proof.

Yan Huai stroked his beard and smiled knowingly: "That's right, it's the elder of your great-grandmother's tribe who entrusted me to find the token."

After a stick of incense, he was in a hidden reception room of Yan Huai'an's house.

Yang Ruoqing finally met the elder of the clan with a hint of anticipation.

He is tall and has a little burden on his back.

His hair, eyebrows, beard, and even eyelashes are all white.

But his face glowed with a healthy rosy color.

Wearing the fox fur clothes of the minority ethnic groups in the north, he is hale and hearty.

Visually, he was in his early sixties, and sitting on top of Yan Huai'an, he looked younger than Yan Huai'an.

But when I heard the age, it turned out to be eighty.

Yang Ruoqing was startled.

No wonder when Yan Huai'an introduced the two parties just now, he said that the old man was the chief elder in the elders group.

At such an advanced age, he is highly respected.

"Elder Elder, your body is really healthy and well-maintained. This junior really admires you." She couldn't help but praise.

The white-haired elder smiled and looked at Yang Ruoqing: "The little girl is not timid, very good, very good."

Yang Ruoqing smiled.

But I couldn't help but slander in my heart.

The person I am afraid of, my aunt, has not yet come to this world.

On the opposite side, the Great Elder looked at Yang Ruoqing carefully: "I am a few years older than your great-grandmother, and she can be regarded as the one I watched growing up."

"Son, your facial features don't really look like the eldest lady back then."

"But your temperament is [-]% similar to hers!"

"I saw you for the first time just now, and I couldn't help but think of her back then, who was also like you..." He sighed.

Yang Ruoqing knew that the eldest lady he was talking about was her great-grandmother.

What does this old man look like?

Great-grandmother had the character of being a concubine.

The one who was abused by the wife of the main house must be a cowardly woman.

How could I have a similar temperament to my great-grandmother?

The old man's eyes are probably blurry.

On the opposite side, the Great Elder asked Yang Ruoqing, "Have you brought anything here?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Bring it here."

Immediately, she took out the burden roll, opened it, and handed over the box inside with both hands.

When the great elder saw the familiar box, the flesh on his face couldn't help twitching slightly.

He stood up, bowed slightly, and almost took the box with trembling hands.

Then it was opened cautiously and piously...

When the ivory fish that disappeared for more than 60 years reappeared.

The Great Elder was trembling with excitement.

When he picked up the blood letter left by the previous patriarch, he read it carefully.

The Great Elder raised his head and looked at the roof.

He clutched the bloody book in his hand with one hand, and clenched his heart into a fist with the other.

The corners of his lips were murmured, and two lines of old tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

"The patriarch, the subordinates are incompetent, and it took more than 60 years to regain our clan's token..."

"Patriarch, you have a spirit in the sky, you can sleep forever."

"The subordinates will spend the rest of their lives to revitalize our clan!"

……

After a while, the Great Elder's mood gradually calmed down.

After properly putting away the token, her eyes fell on Yang Ruoqing again.

"Son, you can find the token of our clan, maybe it's the instruction of the old patriarch's spirit in heaven." He said.

"You have a part of our blood flowing through your body. This is an unchangeable fact."

"The Naadam meeting is coming soon. I will arrange it after the Naadam meeting is over."

"You follow me to the graves of our ancestors, and pay homage to them. It can be regarded as comforting the ancestors and recognizing the ancestors."

The great elder said kindly.

There is sincerity and anticipation in the words.

Yang Ruoqing thought about it.

As a human being, no matter how far you go or how high you stand, you cannot forget your roots.

I came all the way here, this is the hometown of my great-grandmother, and it is also the root of their old Yang family.

The Great Elder, in his 80s, sent out such a sincere invitation.

Refuse, can't justify.

She nodded straightforwardly: "Okay, everything will be arranged by the Great Elder."

The elder seemed very happy.

When the topic touched on the Naadam Conference, his eyes officially fell on Luo Fengtang who was listening silently.

"I just heard from Huai'an that Brother Luo also plans to participate in this Naadam meeting?" the Great Elder asked.

Luo Fengtang raised his head and looked at the Great Elder respectfully.

"Yes, I have this plan," he said.

The Great Elder smiled and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to participate in the Naadam Conference?"

The Naadam Conference, held every three years, is an entertainment and competitive event to celebrate the harvest and pray.

But this year's Naadam Conference has a different meaning.

The elders decided to select the young and promising youngsters from the Naadam Conference to be the next patriarch to train.

Hearing the Great Elder's question, Luo Fengtang stood up, and he glanced at Yang Ruoqing who was present.

Then, he truthfully told the great elder that he had accepted Na Risong's challenge.

"I will not use my daughter-in-law as a bet to compete with others."

"But, as a man, I can't shrink back."

"So, I am determined to accept Na Risong's challenge and participate in this Naadam meeting!" Luo Fengtang said solemnly.
