Chapter 347: Widow's Mountain

"What did you just say this mountain was called?" Li Yunxian was surprised and said, not only him, but we all felt that this name was a little too unlucky, how could anyone name the nearby mountain this. Who knew that Peach Blossom had a serious face, not like a nonsense, nodded and looked at her mother-in-law.

"It's normal that you don't know when you first come, this mountain is called this name, it's been some years, many of our place names here have been changed, only this mountain has not changed, because it's not a great attraction, only the locals know, so how many years have been widow's mountain, widow's mountain is called. That is, a lot of white bones have come out of it recently, so it is slowly known by people outside. The mother-in-law said, "If you are curious, my wife will take you up to have a look, boy, you said okay, I have someone here to take care of it, but there is nothing before, just a few little babies don't lose it." The mother-in-law said and stood up and prepared to take us up the mountain.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, we are just curious and want to go up and have a look." Li Yunxian said, in fact, I don't know why Li Yunxian made such a request, because our time is very tight, where is there any time to play in the mountains and rivers. However, they were also a little curious, wanting to see what the mystery of this widow's mountain was, so everyone followed the mother-in-law out of the small courtyard, went around to the back of the courtyard, and slowly climbed up along a mountain road.

I always thought that my mother-in-law looked sick and crooked, but I didn't expect to climb up the mountain, and it was not inferior to us at all, so I came to Peach Blossom. whispered, "Peach Blossom, I didn't see it, my mother-in-law's body is very tough." ”

"Sister, don't you know, when my mother-in-law was young, it was said that she was very powerful, even now that she is old, she often goes up the mountain with us and picks mountain goods in autumn. My mother-in-law works harder than those of us juniors. But it's a good hand. Peach Blossom said proudly, I was thinking in my heart, and I don't know what's going on, these elderly mothers-in-law I met recently. All of them are like martial arts masters.

This widow's hill is nothing more than a small mountain bag. Climb all the way down the hill to the top of the mountain. It didn't take much effort, and we reached the summit in about twenty minutes, and my mother-in-law was standing on a small flat ground at the top of the mountain. Looking in one direction, it looks like you've found something. Although this widow's hill is not particularly large, it is very lush, and I think of the garbage dump where I met Api before, there is a mound-like hill behind it, almost no vegetation, bare, and it is a stark contrast to this place.

"Mother-in-law, what are you looking at?" Min Lan asked cautiously, I was also curious, my mother-in-law looked at a place for a long time, as if there was some treasure there.

"Do you know why this place is called Widow's Mountain?" The mother-in-law asked, and we all shook our heads, waiting to hear her explain to us. "Speaking of which, there are not many people in this town who can still speak, and I will tell you today, so that such a legendary story will not be lost like this." The mother-in-law said with great regret.

"Mother-in-law, I've never heard of a story about this widow's mountain." Peach Blossom said annoyedly, as if she was complaining that her mother-in-law didn't tell her in advance, and her mother-in-law waved her hand, signaling her not to speak, and let her finish speaking.

"This place was not originally called Chaoshui Town, that is, it should almost be a county seat, and it is also quite prosperous, but now when it is said to be prosperous, it also refers to the appearance of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which has been a long time. It is said that at that time, this small county town was divided into Dongcheng and Xicheng, and there was a large family in Dongcheng, which was particularly good, and it was precisely because of this large family that the whole county became prosperous, and there were many people who came and went to do trade. But then I heard that this big family didn't know why it suddenly happened, and overnight, almost all the people in charge of the family died or disappeared, leaving only the youngest daughter in the family. The daughter, perhaps because she was so sad, ordered the whole mansion to be torn down, and there was a place in this widow's hill where the ancestral grave of the great family was, and she moved the whole family out of the ancestral house, and built another house there, and lived there. The mother-in-law looked in that direction again, and I followed suit, but I couldn't see anything but lush trees.

"The place where the big family lived before was called, No. 11 Taohua Lane, South of Dongcheng, but now it is long gone, and now the big house is called No. 1 Chaoshui Town." My mother-in-law said, and I gasped.

"Mother-in-law, the big family you are talking about, should it be, the Jiang family? Isn't this No. 1 Chaoshui Town the Jiang family's mansion? I asked.

"That's right, it's the Jiang family. Legend has it that the Jiang family has only given birth to daughters in the past dynasties, and only recruited sons-in-law, and the daughters who gave birth had to be surnamed Jiang. However, the Jiang family is a real big family, and there are a lot of industries, but after that change, it slowly declined, coupled with the later change of dynasty, the situation is turbulent, and now, not many people remember that there was a big family here, surnamed Jiang. The mother-in-law said regretfully.

"But mother-in-law, what does this have to do with this widow's mountain here?" Yun Ning asked.

"It's called Widow's Mountain, and it's also a little related to the Jiang family, the patriarchs of the Jiang family are all women, but I don't know if this woman has the fate of Kefu, many generations of patriarchs, all widows, widowed at a young age. Then they moved to the mountains, where they were cut off from the rest of the world, and the mountains became known as the Widow's Mountain. It is said that once a maid in their family stole a man, and when she was discovered, she hid in the mountains while pregnant, but the man was found dead alive. The woman quietly gave birth to the child, but was finally found, and then, late one night, was burned alive. "My mother-in-law said, I felt that Sister Wang Na was so frightened that she shivered.

"Don't be afraid, this is just an old thing, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is just a legend, but the Jiang family mansion you are looking for is at the foot of this widow's mountain." Mother-in-law said.

"But we can't see anything, what mansion you are talking about, what ancestral tomb, there is not even the slightest shadow." Dazhe said that he had already turned the entire summit of the mountain by taking advantage of this gap.

"This is the genius of this Jiang family, the Jiang family is located in a mountain col, here is a trumpet, and there is a cliff blocking, if you don't walk in, turn over the cliff, you won't know that there is a house there. Standing on the hill, you can't see this house from any angle, so it's very well hidden. The trumpet-shaped col is not a dead end, but behind the house, there is a secret cave that leads to the outside. The mother-in-law said.

"Mother-in-law, how do you know so clearly? Do you know there? I asked.

"Not only do I know, but I have also been there, because my best friend in my life used to work in the Jiang family." Mother-in-law said.

I wanted to ask who this friend was, but I thought it was rude, so I swallowed it back when it came to my lips.

The mother-in-law didn't mention it again, but just talked about some things that were not there, and began to talk about what kind of specialties would be produced in the autumn on this mountain, and so on. But when he mentioned that there were wild rabbits on this mountain, I saw a glint in Dazhe's eyes.

Then my mother-in-law said that it was not too early, and she was worried about the little ones at the bottom of the mountain, so we walked down the hill one after another. There was nothing to say along the way, and it didn't take long for me to reach the bottom of the mountain, but when I walked into the courtyard, I found that Dazhe and Uncle Lu were gone.

"Sister Wang Na, what about Uncle Lu and Dazhe?" I asked.

"I don't know, the fat man muttered a few words to Lao Lu just now, and Lao Lu left, and I don't know where they went." Sister Wang Na said.

I saw that Yun Xian and Yun Ximing were passing the signal with their eyebrows and eyes, and I suddenly felt that I couldn't cry or laugh.

"If you want to go, go there." I said helplessly, sure enough, I saw Yun Ximing dragging Li Yunxian to the Widow's Mountain, and I knew in my heart that they were all worried about those hares.

Over there, Peach Blossom and Mingxiu sisters screamed again, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat, could it be that someone came to save the leader and the boss? Thinking like this, I ran into the yard, only to find that just over an hour had passed, and the courtyard of the orphanage had completely changed. The original dilapidated courtyard has now been cleaned up, and all the garbage that was piled up in the courtyard before has been cleaned up outside the courtyard and neatly piled up on the outer edge of the courtyard wall. Several houses are also locked, replaced by several brand new prefabricated houses, heating equipment, simple rain measures, and a special baby room for a few children, all of which are readily available, filling the entire small courtyard house.

Although they are also people who have been to the county seat, Mingxiu and Mingyue are still very surprised, and Peach Blossom is even more excited, but her mother-in-law is very calm, but she just said vigorously, "It's broken, it's broken." ”

There are also workers in the yard doing the finishing touches, a few makeshift aunts are taking care of the baby, and the makeshift kitchen has begun to prepare dinner. A very well-dressed middle-aged woman came over to report to Yun Ning, and Yun Ning gave full authority to Sister Wang Na to deal with, which is Sister Wang Na's strength, and immediately devoted herself to work, I can't help but sincerely admire the efficiency of the Li family, I really don't know how they did it.

Yun Ning didn't give me a chance to explain, dragged me to the simple prefabricated room, and selected the best one as the bedroom with Min Lan, don't look at it as a prefabricated room, but the facilities are readily available, each with its own characteristics, obviously with care. We were still busy here, only to hear Dazhe's voice outside the door, listening to the voice of a special panting, obviously saying while running, "Hey, you guys hurry up and take a look, see what good things we have gotten."
