Chapter 26: Mother

I was shocked, "Isn't my mother's grave outside?" It was just dug up a few days ago, and it is still in the ancestral hall? ”

Dad shook his head, "That's not your mother." ”

I couldn't believe it, "That'...... After all these years, I have kowtowed to the wrong head? No way...... Who's that corpse out there? ”

Dad sighed, "I dug it out of a lonely grave and used it to pass off your mother's corpse." ”

I was shocked and speechless, more than ten years is not a short time, every year during the Qingming and winter solstice, I actually swept the wrong grave?

“…… Why? ”

I'm more and more surprised about my family's past.

Dad sighed heavily, "Naturally, it's to protect your mother." ”

I don't understand this, if my mother is still alive, it is natural for my father to protect her, but they are all dead, what else do you need to protect? Could it be that someone still has the idea of killing someone?

Naturally, my dad saw my doubt.

"Nuan Nuan, behind you, is there a flower on the other side?"

I was surprised, because I didn't tell my dad about this, it was just Si Yin's prank.

"Dad, how do you know? After being scratched by the dry corpse, there was it. ”

After I finished speaking, I suddenly thought of killing Qianxue's words.

"Is there also behind Mom?"

Dad nodded slowly, "That's right, your mother also has one behind her, she was born with it." ”

"And what does this flower represent?"

I couldn't wait to ask, but my father shook his head, "I don't know about this, anyway, your mother and she...... She ......"

Dad suddenly paused, his expression a little pained.

"Mom, what's wrong with her?"

I couldn't help but ask, but my dad suddenly patted the coffin lid and said to me.

"Help me open the coffin."

I suspiciously joined forces with my father and opened the lid of my mother's coffin.

Dad turned on the flashlight and handed it to me.

"Nuan Nuan, you can go and take a look."

I took the flashlight, and I couldn't help but feel a little hairy, my mother has been dead for so many years, except for a decomposing corpse, what does my father want me to see?

I put a flashlight into the coffin, but instead of seeing the decomposing corpse I expected, I saw a young woman.

I was shocked and hurried closer to the coffin to take a closer look.

In the coffin, there was a woman in a red wedding dress, who could not be seen to be a dead person except that her face was a little pale.

"It's-my mom?!"

I asked my dad in surprise, and my dad nodded, walked over and looked at my mother in the coffin, his expression softened a little.

My mouth became a big duck egg, looked at my father, and then looked at my mother, and asked with a stammer.

"My mother has been dead for more than ten years, why hasn't the body decomposed?"

"I don't know, but, look."

Dad stretched out his hand, gently broke his mother's slightly open mouth, and shone a flashlight, I took a closer look, and my eyes instantly opened the boss.

"It's ...... Flowers on the other side? ”

Oh my God, in my mother's mouth, there is a budding flower waiting to be released!

"No one will sneak in, will they?"

But my father shook his head, "After so many years in this secret room, you are the second person to enter besides me." ”

"How can there be flowers and bones in my mother's mouth?"

I was even more incredible, but my dad said to me, "Look carefully. ”

I then took a closer look, didn't hold back, reached out and carefully poked into my mother's mouth, trying to pull out the flower bones, but I couldn't pull it out at all, and the stem of the flower on the other side went directly into my throat, and I couldn't see the bottom at all.

"Why can't you pull it out?"

I got up and asked my father, who closed his mother's mouth.

"Of course you can't pull it out, this flower grew out of your mother's body."

“…… Yes? ”

I looked at my mother in the coffin in disbelief, even if her body didn't rot, there was even a flower growing in her body?

Seeing that I didn't believe me, my father said to me seriously: "Nuan Nuan, I told you before, your mother was picked up by your grandfather." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

I remember when I was very young, my father once mentioned that my mother was picked up from the street by my grandfather and raised by her side as a goddaughter.

But my dad looked at me with a complicated expression.

"Your mom didn't pick it up on the street."

"Where is that?"

I subconsciously asked, but my father's answer was beyond my expectations.

"Your mother picked it up from the grave."

“…… Grave?! ”

I was surprised, but my father nodded very affirmatively, "Your grandfather picked up your mother from the tomb when he robbed the tomb." ”

"Wait......"

I was a little confused, "Tomb robbery? ”

I was shocked, and Song Qianxue's words came to mind again.

"That'...... What the woman of the Song family said before was true? ”

Dad stopped talking, struggled for a while, and finally nodded.

"The ancestors of our family all used to dig graves as a business, and it has been hundreds of years since your grandfather's generation."

I was dumbfounded, my brain went blank, the muscles on my face were a little stiff, and I didn't know what kind of expression to look at my father.

"Nuan Nuan, I didn't want to tell you, but since I brought you here, I'll just tell you all."

Dad's expression suddenly became serious, he looked at me, and said word by word:

"Our family was originally not surnamed Lan, but surnamed Yu, and your name was not Lan Yannuan, but Yu Sinuan."
