"Keeping the ......"

……

The next day, the grandfather asked Xiaocui to show him the way, and the two of them came to Wang Xiaojin's grave. The master looked around Wang Xiaojin's tomb, couldn't help frowning, and asked Xiaocui: "Why did you bury Xiaojin here?" ”

Xiao Cui said hesitantly: "This, this is the ...... that the Wang family asked the Wang family to bury their sister-in-law here."

"The Wang family? King grass carp? ”

"No, it's my sister-in-law's father and the village...... Those people, they said, my sister-in-law didn't go into the cave room with my brother, and she was still a girl...... I can't go into our ancestral grave, and I can't go into my mother's grave, so they, they buried my sister-in-law here......"

When the master heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, "Didn't Dad care?" ”

Xiaocui replied: "Dad only sighed, didn't say anything......"

The grandfather didn't feel good in his heart, after passing incense on the grave and burning the paper, the grandfather knelt there and didn't get up......

Wang Xiaojin was buried in the mass grave of Sanwangzhuang......

The stars moved, the master stayed in the cemetery from early in the morning to the evening, the sky gradually got dark, Xiaocui, who had accompanied the master for a day, was a little unable to hold it at this time, and persuaded the master to go home, the master knelt on the grave, motionless.

Xiao Cui saw that she couldn't persuade the master, so she quietly ran home.

At this time, at home, my great-grandmother had just finished dinner, and Gaozu was about to eat, Xiaocui entered the house, and her grandmother hurriedly asked Xiaocui, "Why haven't you come home for a day, what about your brother?" ”

Xiaocui hurriedly replied: "My brother has been kneeling at my sister-in-law's grave all day, I asked him to come back, but he just won't come back, father, mother, go and persuade him." ”

Without waiting for my great-grandmother to speak, my great-grandfather snorted coldly: "What do you persuade him to do, tell him to kneel, it's all his own sin!" ”

When Xiaocui heard this, she didn't dare to say anything more, silently walked to the stove, picked up a bowl, and scooped up the rice in the bowl, but as soon as she scooped a spoonful, my ancestor snorted: "Don't send him food!" ”

Xiao Cui was suddenly excited, and almost didn't throw the bowl on the ground.

Early the next morning, the grandfather came back dejected, and at this time, my ancestor also returned home.

The grandfather found my ancestor and said to my ancestor: "Dad, why did you bury Xiaojin in a mass grave? ”

Gao Zu didn't even look at the master, and cleaned up his own guys, "What's the matter, now I know that I regret it?" It's late! ”

The master said: "Although I didn't enter the cave room with Xiaojin Baitang, she is also a member of our Liu family, how can you let them bury Xiaojin in a mass grave!" ”

Gao Zu turned his head and glanced at the master, "What are you yelling at me, if you have the ability, you can talk to the Wang family!" ”

The master didn't say anything more, turned around and left, and soon, he came to the gate of the Wang family's courtyard, hesitated, after all, he ran away from the marriage, so that the Wang family lost face in the village, and now if he goes in, I don't know how the Wang family will treat him.

The grandfather immediately turned his heart sideways, wanted to kill or kill them, and walked into the courtyard with his head down.

I saw that in the yard, Wang Dahe and Wang grass carp were drying fishing nets, after the grandfather walked into the yard, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and then the fishing nets in Wang Dahe's hands fell to the ground......

"Uncle Bingshou?" Wang Caoyu let out a low voice, looking very surprised, "You, when are you coming back?" ”

Wang Dahe's face suddenly darkened, bent down to grab the fishing net from the ground, and continued to dry.

The master smiled faintly at Wang Caoyu, "I came back the night before yesterday." As he spoke, he walked up to Wang Dahe and knelt down on his knees, "Dad, I'm sorry for your Wang family, I made a special trip to make amends today." ”

Wang Dahe (Wang Xiaojin's father, and my grandfather belong to the same generation), Wang Dahe glanced at the grandfather and said: "What crime do you have, you are not sorry for our family, it is my family's Xiaojin's life is not good, you go, don't come in the future." ”

A few words of understatement, but like a heavy hammer, hit the grandfather's heart, and the grandfather knelt and did not move.

There was a stalemate for a while......

"Not leaving?" Wang Dahe said coldly: "If you don't leave, I'll ask the grass carp to beat you out!" ”

Tai Ye licked his lips, "It's okay to let me go, but I want to know why you buried Xiaojin in a mass grave." ”

"Where do we bury Xiaojin, can you control it! Walk! If you don't leave, I'll really call you out! ”

The master still knelt and didn't move, and Wang Dahe suddenly yelled at Wang Caoyu: "Grass carp, beat this thing out for me!" ”

Wang Caoyu (Wang Xiaojin's brother, the same age as my grandfather, but a generation younger than my grandfather), when Wang Caoyu heard this, he suddenly came over and whispered to his grandfather: "Uncle Bingshou, you better go, because of Xiaojin's affairs, our family can't raise their heads in the village, and now Xiaojin is gone, what's the use of you coming over." ”

The grandfather looked up at Wang Caoyu, ignored him, and said to Wang Dahe: "Dad, it was me who was wrong back then, I shouldn't have run away from marriage, I want to ...... now."

"What do you think, don't call me Dad, who are you? You are the hero of the Yellow River who killed the Dragon King, our Xiaojin is not worthy of you, and our Wang family is not worthy of a son-in-law like you, get out! ”

When the master heard this, he slowly stood up from the ground, "Okay, I'll go, but I have to inform you, I want to move Xiaojin's grave to our ancestral grave, and wait for me to ...... a hundred years later."

"What?" Without waiting for the master to finish speaking, Wang Dahe immediately shouted: "If you want to move Xiaojin's grave, you don't count!" ”

The grandfather gritted his teeth, "Xiaojin is my daughter-in-law, if I say it, no one has the final say, I can't let her stay in the mass grave!" ”

Wang Dahe's eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was grateful or angry, "Those old people in the village have the final say!" ”

The master glanced at Wang Dahe, "Aren't you the village chief?" ”

Wang Dahe said excitedly: "The village chief also has to listen to those old men!" ”

The grandfather nodded, "I understand!" Strode up to Wang Grass Carp and grabbed Wang Grass Carp's collar, "Go, follow me!" ”

At noon, outside Sanwangzhuang Village, in a tavern by the Yellow River, the grandfather set up a very rich banquet and asked Wang Caoyu to invite several respected old people in the village into the tavern, including my ancestor and Wang Dahe, and three other old people. These three old men are all over seventy years old, their age is above my Gaozu and Wang Dahe, and their prestige is also above that of my Gaozu and Wang Dahe.

Many villagers in Sanwangzhuang heard that the son of the Liu family, the runaway son of the Liu family, the dragon slayer boy of the year, came back and set up wine in the riverside tavern to entertain guests, and many rushed over to see the excitement.

Seeing this, the master instructed the tavern shopkeeper to put a few more tables, as long as it was someone from Sanwangzhuang, those who came would have a share. When everyone heard this, they naturally cheered, and immediately set up seven or eight tables.

At the table, after the wine and food were served, the grandfather stood up first, raised his glass and said a few polite words, saying that he was ignorant back then, ran away from marriage and left home, and in the past few years when he was not at home, he was grateful to the villagers and elders to take care of his parents and so on.

After the grandfather said that, several old people also said a few polite words to the grandfather, and when the politeness was over, the grandfather sat down, and my ancestor asked him coldly, "What do you want to do when you invite so many people over today?" ”

Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, the grandfather must be doing something like this, Wang Caoyu went to the house to invite Gaozu before, Gaozu didn't want to come, but he was afraid that something would happen to the grandfather, so he had to follow.

The grandfather smiled at my ancestor and said: "Dad, everyone here, you are all respected old men of our Sanwang Zhuang, today's junior Liu Niandao, I invite you to a banquet, I just want to discuss one thing with you......"

When the three old men heard this, they didn't say a word, but they were all old and sophisticated, and they noticed that there was something wrong with the master's tone, and they all agreed and looked at my ancestor suspiciously.

My ancestor frowned lightly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The grandfather said: "I want to move Xiaojin's grave to our ancestral grave." ”

"What?" When the three old men heard this, their faces changed slightly, but they ignored my grandfather. One of the old men, who was on crutches, said to my ancestor: "Xuanyi, this matter of moving the grave...... I can't help it. ”

My ancestor didn't say a word, and another white-bearded old man said: "The daughter-in-law who doesn't have a cave house can't enter the ancestral grave!" ”

"Why can't you go to the ancestral grave?" Without waiting for Gao Zu to answer, the master asked coldly.

The white-bearded old man glanced at the grandfather, "Young man, don't you even know this, the woman who didn't enter the cave room, said that she was a daughter-in-law, and she was also a girl, and she had no husband and wife in her mother-in-law's house, and she couldn't enter the ancestral tomb of her mother-in-law's family, and she had already married out in her mother's house, and she couldn't go back to her mother's ancestral grave. ”

When the grandfather heard this, he sneered and said, "My father has been exorcizing evil spirits and demons all his life, why haven't I heard him say it, who said this?" ”

The white-bearded old man replied: "No, it's a rule handed down from the ancestors. ”

The master said: "The rules are all set by people, and people can change them if they can make them!" ”

"You ......" the white-bearded old man choked, "If you change the rules of your ancestors, you will be a big rebel!" Without waiting for the master to answer, the white-bearded old man turned to my ancestor and said, "Xuanyi, persuade your son, the rules passed down by the ancestors cannot be left to him!" The white-bearded old man said, and the other two old men echoed one after another, "Your son has been running away from marriage for many years, and he is disobedient and unfilial, and he has just come back, and he has to change the rules of his ancestors, what kind of system ...... become?"

My ancestor looked very helpless, looking at the grandfather who was just about to open his mouth, the grandfather quickly pulled out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword in his waist, and thrust it into the table with a "bang", which shook the wine and food all over the table, and said loudly: "Who disagrees with me to change the rules and move the grave, first discuss with my sword that has killed the dragon!" ”

Seeing this, Gaozu was furious, "The beast is presumptuous, put away the sword!" ”

The master didn't look at my ancestor, his eyes were fixed on the three old men, and he threatened: "Three elders, you don't agree!" ”

The grandfather had already heard it from the tone of my ancestor and Wang Dahe before, and it was not their intention to bury Wang Xiaojin in the mass grave, but out of desperation.

The three old men saw that the master had drawn out his short sword, his face changed, and the old man on crutches trembled directly, as if he was frightened, "You, you, you ......" turned to look at my ancestor, "Liu Yi, you, your good son!" The old man on crutches trembled and stood up from his chair, "I don't agree, if you want to kill or chop, follow your father and son's wishes!" With that, he left on crutches.

Seeing this, the other two old men also got up from their chairs, left a word, and left.

"If you dare to move the grave, we will drive your Liu family out of Sanwangzhuang!"

Gao Zu hurriedly stood up, chased after the three old men, and chased them out of the tavern.

Seeing this, the villagers who were watching the excitement next to them all looked directly at the master, silent, the master glanced at them, and said coldly: "Do you disagree, you can also come and ask me about this sword." ”

When the villagers heard this, they all turned their faces back, as if they hadn't heard, drinking wine and eating vegetables.

In the afternoon, the grandfather came to the ancestral tomb, in the ancestral tomb, only Wang Shoudao was the first master, the grandfather gave the ancestor incense and burned paper and kowtowed, and then knelt on the grave, thanking the ancestor for saving him several times. In those days when he robbed the tomb with Xiao Laodao's master and apprentice, there was an old man who secretly helped Taiye several times, although Taiye didn't know who he was, but, according to Taiye's feelings, it was the ancestor Wang Shoudao.

In the end, the grandfather's heart moved, and he asked at the grave: "Ancestor, do you say that Xiaojin can be buried in the ancestral grave?" ”

As soon as the master's voice fell, he saw that the incense that had not yet burned out, and suddenly there was a thick green smoke, and the green smoke was wafting, forming a coffin-sized smoke ring behind the master, and the master looked back at the smoke ring, and immediately smiled with relief, the location of the smoke ring was the acupuncture point where the master wanted to bury Wang Xiaojin......
