Chapter 269 Ancestor Worship
Master Qin looked at Li Yanqing in surprise: "Is your grandfather also from Ning County?"
Li Li Yanqing nodded: "My grandfather's name is Li Li Ping!"
"What?" Mr. Qin looked at Li Liyanqing excitedly, "What's your last name?"
"My surname is Li and my given name is Yanqing. I came to Ning County this time to fulfill my grandfather's last wish and return to my hometown to worship my ancestors." After listening to what Grandpa Qin said, Li Li Yanqing guessed the reason why the Li family was removed from the Ning County family tree.
When my great-uncle accidentally killed my great-aunt and was arrested, he used the secret of growing snow mushrooms to force the clan leader to let him go, but the price was to erase all traces of the Li family's existence in Ning County.
Master Qin stretched out his hand with some trembling, wanting to touch Li Liyanqing, but finally put his hand down and only asked: "Have you been living well these years?"
In fact, there is no need to ask at all. Looking at his current appearance, you can tell that he must be living a very good life. But Master Qin still wants to ask for peace of mind.
"I'm having a good time, don't worry."
After listening to Li Yanqing's answer, Master Qin looked at Su Chenyu who was standing beside him and said with relief: "You're married now, what a blessing."
"Logically, I should call you my uncle." Li Liyanqing called out very solemnly, "Uncle."
After hearing this address, Mr. Qin was so excited that he didn't know what to say: "I thought that the Lili family would have no descendants after my generation. Now that I see that the Lili family has a successor, it is worth it."
"You have no wife?"
Master Qin shook his head: "For a person like me who has been displaced all the time, why would I want to marry?"
As he spoke, Grandpa Qin walked forward and pushed open the door that had been sealed for a long time. Dust blew in his face, and Grandpa Qin waved it a few times: "This old house has been empty for decades."
After the dust settled, Master Qin led Li Li Yanqing and Su Chenyu into the house. The house was in a dilapidated state, but Master Qin ignored it and walked into the room. He opened the secret door behind the bed and saw a stone room with tablets of Li Li's ancestors.
Grandpa Qin relit the candlestick on the table, took out the incense, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner: "I, the unworthy descendant, Lili Qin, burn incense to all the ancestors on behalf of my father, Lili An."
Li Li Yanqing and Su Chenyu stepped forward and lit a stick of incense each. This time, they came to fulfill the old Duke's last wish and burnt a stick of incense for the ancestors of the Li Li family.
After the incense was burned, the stone chamber fell into silence again. It was Li Yanqing who spoke first: "Did your uncle set up this altar before he left?"
Li Qin nodded: "Father said that we can't let our ancestors suffer with us, so we should keep them in the old house, so that we won't be left without a place to visit when we want to pay our respects in the future."
At this point, Li Qin asked, "After my uncle left Ning County, there was no news at all. Did you come to Ning County specifically to worship your ancestors this time?"
Li Ping has been ambitious since he was a child. When he saw the famine in Ning County, although Xue Rong saved his life later, he still left without hesitation. He originally wanted to take Li Lian with him, but Li Lian chose to stay in Ning County out of fear.
Later, Li Ping never came back. Li Lian was always worried about his brother. He was glad that his brother left early and did not get addicted to snow mushrooms. But he was also worried that his brother might have died outside and there was no one to collect his body.
What Li Lian regretted most at this moment was that he did not leave Ning County with Li Liping at that time. Even if they died, the two brothers would still be together.
