Chapter 153: Qingming Festival......
After breakfast, they packed a whole bag of things they were going to bring during the day, and then the four of them went up the hill along the path at the head of the village.
During the day, the graveyards of their village were in the woods on the slopes of the hills, and the process was not far away, but because of the overnight rain, the ground would be a little muddy.
During the Qingming Festival, almost every family has to come to the mountains to go to the grave, so you can always see acquaintances coming and going on several trails, and they all politely greet each other during the day.
After more than half an hour, during the day they finally came to the cemetery that belonged to their village.
first came to Grandpa's grave and knelt down respectfully three times during the day, and then put the tribute he brought, and then took out the folded ingots and tin foil and burned them, and muttered in his mouth, "Grandpa, are you okay over there?" I'm living pretty well now, living in a big city, making a lot of friends, and ......."
After hesitating for a moment, he was still a little shy during the day and said: "Moreover, I have found someone I like now, you can rest assured that he has been with me."
During the day, he said something in front of his grandfather's grave, and it took a while before he got up and stood up, and behind him, Ling Ye and Su Shuo bowed deeply three times to Grandpa's grave before leaving.
After that, they saw the graves of their parents during the day more than ten meters away, and they kowtowed first during the day, then put the tributes on the table, and then carefully and reverently burned those ingots and tin foils to their relatives in the other world.
After going to the tomb, a few people left from here, because it was still early, Duan Linqing wanted to go to the mountain to have a look, and he diligently led the way in front during the day.
On their way up the hill they passed a cemetery in a neighboring village, and of course they were still some distance from it, but just as they were about to reach the fork in the road, they heard a sad and low cry from the forest on the right.
It was a man's cry, and it was an old man, and the cry was low and desperate, which made people feel very uncomfortable when they heard it.
"Alas, it is inevitable to go to the grave every time the festival is made, and looking at the relatives who are separated from their yin and yang, no one feels good." With a heavy sigh during the day, he didn't intend to get in the way of others, but just quickened his pace towards the fork in the road.
Before the fork in the road, they had to turn left during the day, and the road on the right was in the direction of the neighboring village cemetery.
During the day they walked into the left path, and behind them there were several people walking in the direction of the cemetery, because they were so close that they could clearly hear the conversation of several people during the day.
"Alas, listening to Old Man Lin's cry, I really don't feel good in my heart, a very good person is born hard, but I didn't expect to end up alone in my later years."
"No, I heard that Old Man Lin's eyes are about to cry blind."
"His wife died early, leaving him and a daughter to depend on each other, and now the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and it is normal for him to stand up."
"Speaking of which, it's all to blame for the bastard son of the old Liu family in the neighboring village, otherwise Yanzi wouldn't have been forced to that step."
"Yes......" This person was about to say something, but he saw that several people on the path in front of him were turning their heads to look at them during the day, and his face suddenly changed, and he was busy pouting the person in front, "Let's go, don't say it, it's not interesting." ”
A few people left quickly, listening to the hoarse cry in the forest opposite during the day, they couldn't help but look at Ling Ye, "Do you want to go and see, this old man Lin seems to be quite pitiful." ”
Ling Ye raised his eyebrows noncommittally, Duan Linqing hesitated for a moment but nodded, "Go and have a look." ”
So the four men turned around and walked down the opposite path, and in a few minutes they saw a graveyard in the forest ahead.
There were few people left in the cemetery at this time, and during the day they soon found the weeping old man in front of a grave still smoking with green smoke, and the old man sat on the ground in despair, staring blankly at the ground with a pair of cloudy eyes, and a dull and hoarse whimper intermittently in his throat.
"Uncle, don't be sad." He stepped forward during the day, looking at this unfamiliar but tired face full of vicissitudes.
Old man Lin slowly raised his head, saw that it was a few strangers, lowered his eyelids again, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Uncle, I know you're uncomfortable, but can you tell me what's going on? I heard someone on the road say, it's your daughter......"
Seeing that Old Man Lin raised his head suddenly, there was pain and anger in his cloudy eyes, and he hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, I'm not meddling, I'm just ...... I'm a mage, and I'm asking this because I want to know where I can help you. ”
"Mage?" Old man Lin was skeptical.
"Well, I'm from the next village, my name is Daytime. I haven't seen you much, but you've probably heard about me, and you know I'm the one who can see that kind of thing......"
As soon as Bai Bai said this, Old Man Lin's expression immediately changed, and he struggled to stand up and pointed at Bai Bai and said in surprise: "You, you are the ...... with yin and yang eyes"
Old man Lin may not know Bai Bai, but he still has heard of a boy in the neighboring village who was born with yin and yang eyes, and knowing Bai Bai's identity, Old Man Lin immediately wailed, and the old man burst into tears, "My poor girl, during the day, can you help me see my girl again." ”
"Why do you have to see her, and how did she die?" During the day, Ling Ye and Duan Linqing next to him looked indifferent, but Duan Linqing next to him had already grabbed Su Shuo's arm, and his eyes widened with concern and confusion.
Speaking of why this, Old Man Lin slapped his thigh in pain and annoyance, and complained in a dumb voice, "I want to see that unfilial daughter, I want to ask her why she is so ruthless, leaving my old man alone, and letting me suffer the pain of losing my son at this age." Lin Yan, Yan'er, why are you so stupid...... Why are you so stupid......"
Seeing Old Man Lin's uncontrollable sadness and crying, Bai Bai sighed and stepped forward to hug his back, and sat down on the flat ground beside him, "Uncle, if Lin Yan has any grievances, I will definitely help her." ”
"During the day, my daughter is pitiful...... Old Man Lin's voice was hoarse, "You don't know, when I heard that she hanged herself in the new house of the old Liu family, I, I really want to follow her to death......"
"Hanging?" When he heard this key word during the day, he immediately asked in a condensed voice, "Uncle Lin, you said that Lin Yan was hanged?" ”
"Yes, it's in the new house of the old Liu family......"
"Then was she wearing a bright red wedding dress when she died?" He hurriedly asked during the day.
"Huh?" Old man Lin was stunned, and it took a long time before he stammered: "Yes, yes...... How do you know ......" Old man Lin looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Because I saw her last night!"
"Huh?" Old Man Lin's eyes widened in shock and fright, and his voice suddenly shattered, "You, you said you saw Yan'er?" ”
Although the two of them were discussing their daughters, when they heard such unbelievable words during the day, and looked at the tombs around them, they couldn't help but feel ghostly, and the cold hairs on their bodies stood on end.
"Well, she should be right." Bai Bai nodded, and continued under Old Man Lin's stunned and frightened expression: "I saw her sitting on the stone pier at the intersection of the west end of our village last night crying, so I went up to take a look, she seemed very sad."
"Yan'er......" Old Man Lin muttered, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, excitedly grabbed the sleeve of the day's coat, and begged, "I know that Yan'er will not be blind to death, she is unwilling!" Let me meet Yan'er, please let me meet Yan'er...... Is she here? Is she here? ”
Old man Lin got up suddenly, looked around this cemetery with a somewhat crazy expression, and cried out in despair, "Yan'er, Yan'er......"
"Uncle......" Busy pulling him during the day, "She's not here, you calm down." Don't worry, tonight, I'll find a way to let you see her tonight. ”
appeased Old Man Lin, and followed Old Man Lin all the way to send him home, and he was completely relieved during the day.
Seeing that it was almost noon, he could only say to Duan Linqing and them apologetically during the day: "I'm sorry, I can't go to the mountain to play now, if you really want to go, let's go up the mountain after lunch."
"It's okay, it's okay......" Duan Linqing waved his hand again and again, and chuckled with a good temper, "When something like this happens, I'm not in the mood to play." However, you did see the ...... "hanged man" last night.
"Well......" nodded depressedly during the day, every time he met such a "person", there would always be a series of things waiting for him in the future.
"Hehe, there is this kind of erotic encounter at a casual stroll on the big night, it's rare!" Su Shuo gloated with a sad face.
Rolling his eyes weakly during the day, he couldn't help but muttering on the way home, "It seems that this matter has a lot to do with the old Liu family in our village, but I don't know which old Liu family it is, it seems that we should first ask the people in the village in the afternoon to see what the situation is." ”
I didn't want to encounter this kind of thing during the day, but once I did, he couldn't help but worry, thinking of the poor girl who hanged herself, and during the day he desperately wanted to find out what was going on.
After lunch at noon, they went out during the day and midnight, originally Duan Linqing and Su Shuo also wanted to follow, but thinking that it was not good to go to other people's houses to inquire about this kind of idle matter, they let Su Shuo and Duan Linqing move freely during the day, and when they figured out the truth of the matter, they went back and explained it to them.
Duan Linqing is a reasonable person, as soon as he said Duan Linqing during the day, he immediately agreed, so he was carried into the room by Su Shuo to do something.
Walking aimlessly on the streets during the day and at night, I suddenly saw a guy who had a good time when I was a child come out of the house, and hurried up to meet him during the day.
"Brother Qiang, why are you going, are you at home all this time, let me ask you something."
As soon as he heard that he was going to ask him about it, a bitter color suddenly appeared on Qiangzi's face, but he still reluctantly invited him into the house during the day and night.
