Chapter 364: Bones in the Spring
"The temple collapsed...... The temple, is it really collapsing? The old lady stood up, her lips trembled slightly, and she glanced back at He Cheng and Zu Lan meaningfully, and their expressions were also slightly dark, and their eyes did not dodge, which meant that they confessed to this matter.

"Really, it's really collapsed, the third uncle went to the field in the morning to release water and saw it, and now many people are ready to go up the mountain to have a look." The junior outside the hospital said with great certainty.
"Oh......" The old lady replied softly, her face suddenly looked a little depressed, and He regretted patting the back of the old lady's hand and didn't know what to say.
After a long while, the junior outside the door was still wandering, and he looked inside from time to time, looking like he wanted to say something.
The old lady suddenly realized, and said with a strong spirit: "Do you two want to go with me to have a look, maybe there are little ghosts on the mountain." ”
He regretted swallowing his saliva, and said in his heart that it was not uncertain, but it was definitely there, the ancestral temple of our old He family was really weird, and I really didn't understand why the ancestral temple was built there in the first place.
He regret in broad daylight is not too scared, besides, he couldn't figure out what was strange in the stone room under the ancestral temple last night, his heart was quite itchy, and now that the old lady is going, of course he is willing.
He regretted glanced at Zu Lan, Zu Lan seemed to have the same thoughts as him, and the two helped the old lady out of the courtyard together.
At this time, most of the men, women and children in the village gathered at the entrance of the village with different expressions, and they gathered together in twos and threes to smoke cigarettes and muttered something quietly, I am afraid that what they are talking about is something about the mountains.
Seeing the old lady coming over with He Cheng and Zu Lan, everyone slowly fell silent and looked at this side.
The ancestral temple on the mountain is said to be the He family, but everyone knows that the ancestral temple is still the He Jiu family. When the name "He Jiu" is mentioned, many people in the old He family feel that their hearts are hot, but some people are not. What they felt was fear, most of these people were the people who had bullied their orphans and widows in the years when He Jiu was not at home. For most young people, it is more curiosity, they have vaguely heard the name of He Jiu, and he is a very great character, but few people of the older generation have detailed the specific things......
There has been a haunting on the mountain, after all, it was many years ago, and there are very few people who have experienced it, and besides, after such a long time, time has already diluted the fear, and atheism has been propagated for many years. The cow ghost and snake god have long been defeated, and the people in the village have long wanted to go to the mountain to see what is going on, at this time I heard that the ancestral temple had collapsed, and they all rubbed their hands, of course, the old lady of the He family did not come, they did not dare to go up the mountain without permission.
"Aunt Jiu rained heavily last night, and the ancestral temple ......" He Cheng and Zu Lan helped the old lady before they reached the ground, and an old man in his fifties and sixties greeted him and said.
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the old lady waved her hand calmly, glanced at everyone and smiled: "This ruined temple is haunted." After so many years of tossing, it finally fell, and the land on the mountain of the big guy was abandoned, and it was a good thing that it fell. ”
"Don't be stunned, the tablets of the ancestors are still in it. It rained all night and I don't know where to go, so let's take a look. The old lady looked at the crowd again.
Everyone nodded yes hurriedly, and then a group of people went up the mountain in a mighty way.
There have always been legends about the ghosts of the ancestral temple. In addition, the descendants are rarely visited, and the grass and trees are overgrown. It is desolate, and it is somewhat uneasy to walk halfway up the mountain.
If it weren't for the large number of people. I'm afraid some people have already retreated.
"All the old and young masters present, here now...... What did Brother Jiu do back then, I don't think I need to say more, you also know, you haven't seen the messy things, you can't say it, there is no mess, if you see something that shouldn't be seen, remember to keep your mouth shut, although I'm just a bad old woman, but the words can be said in front, after arriving on the mountain, there is something to listen to me, and the timid and scared are waiting here. ”
The old lady changed her old kind eyebrows, cleared her throat and said.
Hearing this, most of the people agreed seriously, only a few young juniors were muttering quietly, as if they were not very satisfied with the old lady's orders, and the old lady didn't pay attention to them, anyway, their respective elders would go and explain it in person.
After a short pause, everyone went up the mountain again, and finally someone stopped when they were still some distance away from the ancestral temple.
"Aunt Jiu, go ahead, just a few of us can get here." The four middle-aged men who stopped said with a look of trepidation on their faces.
"Stone Dad, what's the situation with you, why did you become so timid at this time, tsk...... Aren't you afraid that the female ghost will come to your house at night to find you...... Hahaha. Seeing that they were afraid of being like that, they joked about good things, and those people were embarrassed by him, but they didn't want to continue walking.
There were a few of the Red Guards who went up the mountain to tear down the ancestral temple back then, and they were naturally scared after experiencing it.
Standing here, you can already see the ruins of the collapsed ancestral temple, He Cheng has already taken the lead in the front, and some of the brave ones are also following quickly, and Zu Lan is supporting the old lady in the back.
Closer to the ancestral temple, you can smell a pungent smell, and the surrounding ground also shows a dark red, as if blood flows, combined with all kinds of haunted rumors of the ancestral temple, it is indeed quite frightening, fortunately, there are many people coming.
He regretted going to the tomb a few times, he was a little more courageous than before, plus there were many of them, this was broad daylight, he was not afraid of anything strange here, what they experienced here last night was much more exciting than now, he had the courage to walk in front, he wanted to take a step ahead of everyone to see if the underground stone chamber he and Zu Lan had entered last night was still there.
There was still a lot of dark red liquid left on the ground, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was not blood, but some kind of pigment.
The bricks and tiles used to build the ancestral temple were washed everywhere, and He Cheng and the two young men finally climbed to the location of the original ancestral temple with their hands and feet, only to find that it had completely lost its original appearance - instead of a small five-meter-square waterhole, the water in the waterhole was dark red, surrounded by red soil and stones.
The experienced old man said that this must be a spring, and as for why He Jiu built the ancestral temple on a spring back then, they don't know.
He regretted faintly feeling that this should not be the case, and several pictures kept popping up in his mind, and finally he couldn't come up with a reason when he thought that his brain hurt.
"Ah......h
At this moment, there was an exclamation from the side, and everyone followed the voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Bone ...... Bones, a lot of bones......" the man said as he sat on the ground and trembled.
He Cheng jumped over and saw that there were really a lot of bones, skulls and ribs scattered all over the ground, and at a cursory glance, there were one or twenty skulls alone, soaked in the red liquid to give people a sense of tranquility.
"Where did the bones come from?" Some of the brave people were a little frightened and asked the elders.
Where did those old people know, it had been decades since the ancestral temple was haunted, and they had not dared to go up the mountain again in the past few decades, and how did they know where these bones came from.
"In the past, the dead people in the village were buried on the mountain, what's so strange about this, the big guys buried them all with their hands, maybe they are all ancestors." The old lady had been silent since she reached the mountain, and it was only then that she spoke to soothe the uneasy mood of the crowd.
He Cheng and Zu Lan glanced at each other, and they both understood that there was an ancient tomb under this ancestral temple, and these bones should be in the burial pit.
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't hide their shock, but the old lady's face sank like water, and there might be another story in it.
He regretted that he must ask clearly after he decides to go back.
Except for the pile of bones on the mountain, there is nothing strange about it, under the command of a few old people, everyone roughly cleaned up the ancestral temple, and those bones were also re-dug and buried, as for the ancestral spiritual position, they already don't know where it was washed by the water.
When it was almost noon, everyone went down the mountain, and on the way down the mountain, He regret was always suspicious, feeling that something was following them, but every time he turned back, he couldn't see anything.
He Cheng still had this feeling when he was about to reach the bottom of the mountain, he stared at the low mountain behind him, and saw a dark figure walking back from a distance, and when he stared at it, it seemed to be a cat.
A black cat...... (To be continued.) )
PS: I'm back...... It's been a long time, I'm really sorry for you, sorry not to say much, anyway, I'm back, and it feels good to be back.
