Hu Kehao took Tang Ning home and told Tang Ao about the strange things he encountered. Who are the women and children playing with Downing? There are two possibilities, one is the "real person" in a nearby village, where an adult takes a child to play on the slope and happens to meet Tang Ning. There are also the "dead people", who have been in the grave for a long time, and when they come out to breathe, Tangning sees them. They had had enough, and in order to avoid revealing the secret of heaven, they put Downing to sleep and went back to the grave.

Tang Ao inquired everywhere and learned that the tomb of Tunkouya was buried with Wang Fang, the daughter of Wang Haozi of Wangjiawan, who went out to work this year and inexplicably got a strange disease, died of illness a few days ago and was buried in Tunkouya. There is only one person buried in the grave, why is there another child? Tang Ao was puzzled.

Tang Ning returned home from the grave, feeling sluggish, as if someone had sucked away the original spirit. Tang Ao invited a doctor and a goddess, and slowly recuperated Tang Ning's body through a multi-pronged approach. It seems that the female ghost in the tomb is not trying to harm Tang Ning, but just let him play with the children in the tomb. The female ghost subjectively did not have the malice of harming people, but people and ghosts had different paths, and Tang Ning was objectively harmed.

Tang Ao thought of the skeleton in the cave next to Tunkouya again, and asked the old man in the village. The old man remembered the dusty past and said that it was the bones of the fifth master of Wangjiawan.

"What the hell is going on?" Tang Ao asked.

"Fifth Master Wang was starved to death, or it can be said that he was scared to death." The old man remembered the past and shed tears.

The old man and Wang Wuye are people of the same generation. They met when they were children herding cattle and mowing grass for the landlord's family. They forged a deep friendship in the midst of adversity.

In the previous years of famine, in villages within a radius of dozens of miles, those who could run were basically run, and those who could not run stayed and starved and waited for death. In the village, once Wang Wuye saw a woman looking up while drinking water, as if swallowing something. When I got closer, it turned out that the wife was stuffing torn cotton wool into her mouth, which was torn out of the torn cotton jacket on her body.

The wife was so hungry that she couldn't find anything to eat, so she had to eat cotton. Can cotton wool be digested after eating? We really don't know, you go and ask Yang Jingyu, he knows. You go and ask the Japanese devils who cut open Yang Jingyu's belly, they know. You go and ask Li Zicheng, what can you eat to digest in the famine era? Li Zicheng knows.

Wang Wuye followed the villagers to escape from the famine, and accidentally broke away from the famine escape team. Some people on the road starved to death, and some people on the road froze to death! Wang Wuye met some kind people on the road, and those with a conscience gave him a bowl of rice soup to drink, and drove him away without conscience, and let the dog out to bite people. In fact, these dogs can't bite people at all, because people don't have anything to eat, let alone these dogs? With a kick, the hungry dogs fell straight to the ground. One night, Wang Wuye passed by a wood, and met a group of robbers, who were roasting wild rabbits on a bonfire, and the smell was mouth-watering. In the days when there were no turnips and greens, how tempting this barbecued hare was! He walked over and asked the gang for a piece of meat to eat, but the boss of the gang said, "Get out of here, if we hadn't caught a hare to eat, we'd roast you and eat it now!" Wang Wuye was so frightened that he ran away. Is there anything incredible about cannibalism? It's not surprising, in today's peaceful and prosperous world, there are still wicked people stealing other people's kidneys to sell, is it still strange to eat people at that time?

Wang Wuye did not die on the way to escape the famine, but later died because of hunger and stealing the things of the large collective.

The old man who recalled the past to Tang Ao can't remember what year it started, people have joined the big collective, every household eats food groups, and their lives have improved significantly. The food group first killed the big fat pig of the collective, and the members enjoyed it for several days. Under the leadership of the production captain, people vigorously went to work collectively, worked collectively, closed work collectively, and ate collectively. In the beginning, meat grains and vegetables were abundant, and people ate well. Later, there was less and less food in the warehouse, and people ate worse and worse. Later, there was only one red cabbage, which was covered with two steamed wilted kraft leaves. For such a pitiful piece of food, no matter how windy or rainy, people have to walk a long way to the canteen to serve food. The old man concluded that the food was not enough to consume on the way to pick up food. Once when it rained, Wang Wuye went to the canteen to get the family's food, the road was very slippery, and he accidentally fell and poured all the rice into the paddy field, so the whole family starved at night. There is no food at home, and it is not allowed to cook on the fire, and if it is discovered, it will be criticized.

In the cafeteria, people were hungry and hungry. Wang Wuye is a laborer in the family, with heavy physical work, little food, and the only little food he has to give to the children to eat. He was getting thinner and weaker. To fill his stomach, he drank water vigorously. Later he grew fatter and fatter, and many people in the village grew fatter and fatter, and it turned out that they were swollen. Many people in the village have unfortunately passed away due to malnutrition.

In order to feed their children, Wang Wuye and his wife searched for food everywhere. When the village was collecting grain and digging red roots, he tried to hide something on his body, and he had to be very careful not to be discovered. When the beans were not yet ripe, he secretly picked a few handfuls and put them in his pocket whenever he had the chance. No fire was allowed in the house, so they ate raw beans. It's not enough to eat raw, it's easy to have diarrhea. Sometimes in the dead of night, he would secretly cook something in a crockpot at home to eat. In such a difficult day, almost all the food in the village was eaten, and in order to fill their stomachs, some people had to eat chaff poop, and then they could not pull out the, so they had to pick it with their hands. It is said that someone from the higher authorities came to inspect the countryside, and the person who accompanied him said: "Actually, you don't have to go to the inspection to know that the people in this place are starving, you only have to look at the bare leaves that have been eaten in this place." "In order to fill their stomachs, some people once fled collectively in an organized and planned way to forage for food, but they were intercepted halfway through and sent back. People can only survive on their own land.

One day, Wang Wuye was so hungry that he had no choice, and he only ate three red roots for three days and three nights, and he was so hungry that he had no strength at all. I really couldn't stand it, so I went to steal cucumbers grown collectively. As soon as he went into the field to pick a cucumber, he was discovered by Wang Erdan, a child in the village. Wang Erdan shouted: "Uncle, run and run, people are coming!" "In those days when the class struggle was very strong, stealing something was the enemy of the class, and its culpability was comparable to robbing a bank with a knife today. Wang Wuye was completely frightened, so he ran home desperately. In fact, except for Wang Erdan, no one found out that Wang Wuye was stealing cucumbers, Wang Erdan was deliberately scaring Wang Wuye, Wang Wuye's three souls scared off the second soul, and he died not long after fleeing home.

Wang Wuye's family was very poor, and after his death, he was buried in an abandoned "cave", and the old man said that the place was called Swallow Kouya. Originally, the descendants of Wang Wuye went to worship him every year. Later, his descendants went out to work, and the time to come back to worship him became less and less. Over time, he gradually became forgotten. Later, Wangjiawan redivided the land, and the place in Tunkouya was cleared for crops, and many graves were shoveled by people.

"Wang Wuye was both starved to death and frightened to death, and after his death, he was directly buried in a thin-skinned coffin, without asking the Taoist master to open the way. Even if he is extremely resentful in his heart, it is impossible for decades to come out and make a fool of himself now. The old man said.

"Could it be that because no one sacrificed to him, he couldn't live in the underworld, so he came out for a walk?" Tang Ao asked.

"Listening to what you said, Wang Fang, who had just been buried in Swallow Kouya, did not keep his safety and came out to make a ghost. The cave is very close to the tomb of Wang Fang in Swallowing Kouya, I don't know if the dead ghost Wang Fang influenced Wang Wuye, or Wang Wuye influenced Wang Fang. Go and burn paper and sacrifice to them in both places, and speak good things so that they do not come out and make trouble. The old man said.
