Coming out of the old lady's courtyard, Ling'er and the tenth sister held the old lady one by one, and introduced her to the courtyard scenery of Yefu while walking, and the group returned to the courtyard, Ling'er retreated left and right, took the old lady's hand and asked: "Mother, you won't blame me, right?" ”

The old lady smiled: "Silly boy, what do I blame you for?" You are the descendants of the Ye family, and they can make you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you should be grateful to Dai De. ”

"But...... If I want to enter the Ye family tree, I will be surnamed Ye and not Yang in the future, mother, are you really willing to do it? ”

"What if you can't bear it? We can't be so selfish as to let you leave your birth mother alone, right? Besides, your biological mother is also quite pitiful, why did she contract such a disease at a young age? Alas! ”

Listening to the old lady's statement, the old lady didn't tell the truth, too, the old lady is not the Ye family after all, since this is the case, then there is no need to say more about this matter, just do it according to the old lady's arrangement.

Two days later, Ling'er followed her uncle to the Ye family ancestral hall, and under the witness of the elders of the Ye family, she knelt down to worship the ancestors of the Ye family, and changed her name to Ye Zhiling, and was recorded in the Ye family tree Ye Chengren's second daughter. Then she followed her uncle to Ping'an County overnight, stayed overnight, and went to the legendary broken gong ditch early the next morning.

It was an extremely remote and hard-to-find place, located between the mountains, and if you didn't know the road, you would definitely take the wrong path. They walked deep in the mountains for nearly an hour, stopping in a pile of rubble, "It's here!" ”

This place is full of weeds, where is there a trace of the grave, Ling'er's heart is cold, is it possible that the biological mother is buried in this kind of place?

The eldest uncle pointed to the top and instructed the few little men who came with him to cut down the weeds and trees with tools first to clear a way, while Ling'er followed the eldest uncle and waited below.

Ling'er looked around, and the entire ravine was covered with trees and grass. There is no half-shadow, where is it like a place where someone has lived? But if you look closely, you will find that the ground under the cover of weeds is still a little scorched, and those rocks are also square stones, and there are traces of carving on them.

"Uncle, didn't grandma send someone to clean it up before? Why is it still so messy? ”

"Cleaned up?" The eldest uncle's expression was as if he didn't know about it. After a moment, it dawned on him: "Oh. It's not here that they're cleaning up. ”

"Why? Does my mother have any other graveyards? ”

The eldest uncle nodded and sighed: "Your grandmother has always missed the third sister and always wanted to come to see her, but this place is too remote. There is no official road yet, so we have to walk in, so we found a place near the provincial capital to build a mound for the third sister, but we are afraid that your grandmother will insist on coming here. So I never told her the truth. ”

"I see...... Uncle, has this place been burned before? ”

The eldest uncle looked back at her: "All the people who broke the gong ditch were infected with the plague. In order to prevent them from fleeing with the plague, the government specially confined this place and drove all the people infected with the plague outside. ”

The eldest uncle didn't say anything about the rest of the matter, and Ling'er already understood. Most of this group of people were killed by the government and then burned down, there is no way to stop the plague more than this, is it that my mother also died like this?

Wait for the guy to clear the road. The eldest uncle slowly climbed up and picked up a wooden sign in front of a dirt bag. On the book 'The Tomb of Yip's Yan'er'. The eldest uncle had tears in his eyes: "Third sister, the eldest brother is here to take you home!" ”

Looking at the desolate scene, Ling'er's tears couldn't help but fall down. After the group burned incense and worshipped, they waited for a while, and when the time came, they began to dig the grave.

As expected, there was no coffin in the tomb, only a small wooden box, the eldest uncle wiped his tears, carefully took out the wooden box and put it into another slightly larger wooden box, and then sealed it, hugged it with his own hands and stroked it gently: "Third sister, you can finally go home!" ”

A group of people with the wooden box kept hurrying, before the end of noon rushed back to the ancestral tomb of the Ye family near the provincial capital, the Taoist priest who had already prepared took the wooden box, carefully placed it into the tomb that had been dug **, in the filling of the earth, and finally the uncle personally sent the tablet of the biological mother Ye Yan'er into the Ye family ancestral hall.

In this way, the biological mother finally returned to her roots, and Ling'er's heart was completely let go. It was already evening when they returned to Yefu, and the old lady had already prepared a banquet waiting for them.

When Ling'er came to the old lady's yard after washing, all the masters of the Ye family arrived, and Ling'er also saw the legendary second uncle. The second uncle looks very much like the eldest uncle, they are all dignified talents, but the eldest uncle is too serious, but the second uncle is always smiling, he saw Ling'er and immediately greeted him happily: "This is the daughter of the third sister, she looks really like the third sister, come, child, what do you see the second uncle has prepared for you?" ”

The second uncle took out a golden sugar gourd from his back, and Ling'er took it curiously, it turned out to be pure gold, isn't it golden? Ling'er was a little embarrassed, she was about to make a move, but her second uncle gave such a gadget, although it was expensive, it was too ...... What's that, right?

The old lady laughed and said, "Second child, you are still so unorthodox, Ling'er came over and sat next to grandma." ”

As soon as the eldest uncle arrived, Zhiyu leaned over and said with a smile: "Sister Ling'er, you will really be our Ye family in the future, don't be mistaken!" ”

Ling'er smiled, and the old lady said angrily: "You girl can't speak, when is Ling'er not our Ye family?" ”

Zhiyu hurriedly made amends, and the second aunt also intervened to say some interesting things, and the meal was not lively.

During the banquet, Zhiyu suddenly talked about the garden poetry meeting, and said excitedly: "Ancestor, the day after tomorrow, Sister Ling'er will also go with us, right?" ”

The old lady said: "Of course, Ling'er is the young lady of our Ye family, how can you not go?" Ling'er, go to me later to pick out a few decent pieces of jewelry, and dress up the day after tomorrow, but you can't embarrass our Ye family. ”

Zhilan immediately said: "The old ancestor is eccentric, why didn't you let us pick and choose?" ”

The old lady smiled: "Your mother has picked less for you?" If you think I have something good here, just exchange it for what your mother prepared for you! ”

Zhilan's small mouth was raised high, and she glanced at Ling'er very unhappily. Ling'er said: "Grandma, can I not go to the Garden Poetry Club?" ”

"Why?"

"I ...... I've never been to that kind of place, I'm afraid I'll embarrass you. ”

"It's just that you haven't been there before you go, if you don't go, no one in our Ye family is allowed to go."

As soon as the old lady spoke, Zhilan's mother and daughter immediately sank their faces, and Zhiyu was not happy, so she took Ling'er's hand and shook it: "Ling'er, you can't go away, I've been looking forward to this garden party for three whole years!" (To be continued)
