Chapter 51: Back to Jin Village
A few days later, in the early morning, Long Yang carried a jade cane and set out on the road back to Jin Village alone.
I haven't been back to Jin Village for a few years, but the road is still familiar and the scenery is still the same. Long Yang's heart was a little lost, thinking about the situation when he came back to the county seat because of Jin Hai's affairs, and he was still followed by the people who returned home, and the people who lost their way returned to the mountain village and returned home. Now Longyang is also a homesick person, but the mountain village has been buried by the mountains and no longer exists.
Long Yang's heart was a little excited, after all, he hadn't gone back for a few years, and now he could go back to the place where he lived.
In the past few years, Long Yang has never given up exercising, and has been strictly following Jin Shan's requirements, strengthening his body and consolidating the skills he has learned. His body is exceptionally strong, and his body is becoming more and more agile. The long journey, the matter of crossing mountains and rivers, is a breeze for him. The only regret is that I have never figured out the reason for the glow of my eyebrows, and it has not appeared again over the years.
Long Yang has already read the "Detective Minutes" and mastered the detective knowledge and experience in solving the case, but what is lacking now is the test of actual combat. Also, this book is only the first volume, and the bizarre case mentioned by Jin Shan is not recorded, and it seems that it is the content recorded in the next volume.
The road on the mountain was sparsely populated, and Long Yang let go of his body and advantages and ran rapidly on the mountain road. He dodged and moved, quickly dodging obstacles in the road, like an agile ape, swimming and breathing freely in the mountains.
Approaching the location of Jin Village, from a distance, there is already a mountain rock. When the mountain toppled and buried the mountain village, Long Yang was studying at school and did not see the landslide with his own eyes. Looking at the buried valley now, Long Yang can also imagine the situation at that time.
All five peaks collapsed, just as the valley was covered and landfilled, but the outside of the mountain was left undamaged. Long Yang looked at a relatively flat mountainous area, and was sure that there must be a reason for the abnormality in it. It is not a simple coincidence that the five mountains are tilting at the same time and falling inward at the same time, but it has a great connection with the fact that the five mountains have lost their vitality. If we can solve the mystery of the loss of life, we will definitely find the answer to the overturning of the mountain.
Long Yang unconsciously approached the original site of the mountain village, and there was no trace of the mountain village at all. After a few laps around both familiar and unfamiliar places, Long Yang sighed and left, walking towards the only cemetery that was not buried by the mountain. There is a cemetery for the old people in the village, and of course there is also a cemetery for his grandparents, and Longyang has to go to pay respects.
When he was about to reach the cemetery, Long Yang saw a woman in the distance, and a child kneeling in front of a grave.
Long Yang wondered in his heart, although in the past few years, villagers have often come back to worship the tomb of their ancestors, but this time they came back by themselves, who came to the tomb to worship?
In broad daylight, it won't be a ghost, Long Yang approached there. As Long Yang approached, he vaguely remembered that the tomb should be Jin Hai's according to his memory.
When Long Yang walked over, the woman turned around, and it was a woman in her twenties and thirties, dressed plainly and with a handsome face. Kneeling in front of Jin Hai's grave was a little boy, six or seven years old, kneeling in front of the grave was not honest, catching small insects in the grass.
"Who are you? What does it have to do with Uncle Jin Hai? ”
The woman didn't answer Long Yang's question immediately, but turned her face away and looked at Jin Hai's grave. Immediately afterward, she crouched down, picked up the dead branches on the ground, and picked up the burning paper that had not yet been burned. It wasn't until the burning was finished that she let the child kowtow a few more times honestly, and then led the child to Long Yang's side.
"I'm He Hui, this is Jin Hai's son."
"This, you were pregnant when you left Uncle Jin Hai?"
"Yes."
The woman's face was as calm as water, and when she talked about Jin Hai, she no longer had the excitement and resentment she had many years ago.
"At that time, Jin Hai was already deeply involved in the gambling game, and I tried my best to stop him, but he not only didn't listen to me, but began to beat me. He didn't know I was pregnant, and he didn't ask me or care about me. I was chilled by his beating, thinking that my father's family was broken because of gambling. I couldn't afford such a blow anymore and left him ruthlessly. ”
He Hui reached out and touched the boy's head, and continued.
"After leaving Jin Hai, I gave birth to Jin Repentance, and the reason why I named it a Repentance is to let Jin Hai know to repent and return to his lost path. It's a pity that he turned back, but it was too late. ”
When Long Yang heard He Hui's narration, he didn't feel good in his heart. Fortunately, Jin Hai's vein has not been broken, and the last time he turns back and wakes up, he will also give him a good reward for the continuation of the incense of his descendants.
After He Hui finished speaking, he led Jin Cheng to leave.
"Wait, our Jin Village has moved to the western suburbs of the county, do you think we live there?"
"No, I can feed the child. If one day I want to live my own life, or if my child is older, I will let him go back to his ancestors. Thank you for your kindness, we are leaving. ”
Long Yang watched He Hui and Jin regret leave. This woman is really strong, pulling the child alone and raising the child is admirable.
After He Hui's mother and son left, Long Yang retracted his thoughts, found the cemetery of his grandfather and grandmother, took out the prepared burning paper and fruit offerings from the burden behind him, and respectfully began to worship.
Long Yang had never seen his grandparents, but the inner blood relationship existed, and kneeling in front of the grave, he couldn't help but feel sad. My father was raised by my grandparents, and it can be said that without them, there would be no existence of Longyang.
Long Yang remembered that his mother once said that his grandfather and grandmother were seriously ill together and died together. Some people in the village also say that this is called the mandarin duck butterfly life, which is a pair in the yang world and a pair in the underworld.
Some people also said that Long Shaoyun was not simple, and at such a distance in the army, he could have a premonition that his adoptive parents were seriously ill. He is not only strong, but also a dutiful son. Long Yang also once thought about how his father knew about it, and how he knew that his adoptive parents would die. And he rushed home in time three days before he died, all of this is a mystery in Long Yang's heart, and his father Long Shaoyun himself is a mystery.
After worshipping, Long Yang looked at the cemetery in front of him, in fact, this cemetery is also a mystery. Five mountains have collapsed, why is this cemetery safe and sound? If it weren't for this cemetery, the people of the village would not have been spared.
Long Yang shuttled through the cemetery, carefully observing the topography of the cemetery, trying to speculate on the reason why the cemetery became a safe place. Long Yang walked everywhere in the cemetery, but never found anything strange, let alone a reasonable explanation and answer.
Is it that I missed something, no, how many times have I walked this, and it is impossible to miss specific details. What is the reason for that? Long Yang began to scratch his head. This action has become a classic action of Long Yang, and when he encounters a problem, he will habitually scratch his head.
Suddenly, Long Yang thought of a poem, "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." ”
By the way, I'm just walking around the cemetery, I should have jumped out and looked at the terrain and location from a distance, I should be able to see something. Long Yang quickly ran to the fracture of the mountain, where there was still half of the peak, and it was close to the cemetery.
The cemetery is located at the mouth of the tiger at the peak of Wuzhi Mountain, and it is also the place where the gap between the five peaks is the largest, away from the other three peaks. Topographically, the terrain is on the high side, and the mountain village is just the same as this place after being buried. These two advantages in location and terrain greatly reduce the doom of the cemetery being buried in the same way, and it is also the luck of the villagers in the mountain village to avoid the disaster.
Just as Long Yang was about to go to the back mountain to see the resting place of the patriarch, Long Yang accidentally glanced at the cemetery, and he suddenly found that the location of the grave in the cemetery seemed to have a word.
According to the position of the grave, Long Yang slowly gestured with his hand, which was a "Ming" character. Yes, it's a clear word! Long Yang was very excited, he finally found some clues.
What does the word Ming mean, does it mean that the people of this mountain village fled from the Ming Dynasty? It is possible that it is.
The Ming character is composed of the word day and the word moon, the day represents the yang, and the moon represents the yin.
For the terrain feng shui, Longyang has not studied it, if this matter is handed over to Jin Shan, he can still say something. At that time, Long Yang also followed Jin Shan to learn topography and geography, but those were all for hiding his body and tracking detective services, but there was no content of these feng shui treasures.
The excitement that had just risen was like being doused with cold water. Long Yang reluctantly walked to the back mountain, seeing that it was not early, it was better to hurry up and see the situation behind the mountain.
The large and small rocks that rolled down from the broken mountain peak had blocked the entrance to the cave, and from the outside, it was impossible to tell that there was another cave here at that time. The situation is the same as Long Yang guessed, it seems that it is difficult to find it when he returns to Jin Village this time.
It was already dark, and Long Yang decided to stay here for the night and leave this place at dawn tomorrow. Anyway, I haven't been back to the mountain village for several years, so I spent the night with this place.
The artist is bold, and Long Yang put the resting place in the cemetery. On the one hand, the rest of the place is a mess of stones, and there is no place for peace; On the other hand, the cemetery is a safe place in a mountain village and there is no danger.
Long Yang plucked the grass and trees full of hard thorns and made a comfortable straw mat with soft grass. At the same time, he also picked some herbs to repel mosquitoes, lit a dark fire nearby, and used thick smoke to repel annoying mosquitoes.
Long Yang lay in the cemetery, facing the sky on his back, counting the stars in the sky. I remember that when he was a child, he and his mother often enjoyed the shade in their yard, and Long Yang lay on the mat and counted the stars in the sky. Mother didn't talk much at that time, but just cranked the pampas fan to drive away insects for Longyang.
Unknowingly, after so many years, I didn't find any news about my father, and I lost my mother. Ordinary children will be loved by their father and mother in their childhood, but Longyang lost his father. At that time, I was fortunate to have my mother, but I grew up, and my mother suddenly disappeared.
Long Yang is also lonely at times because there is no one to talk to. Jin Ren and Long Yang often communicate, but he is an old man after all, and it is false to say that there is no generation gap, and some words are still unspeakable.
Just as Long Yang was secretly sad while looking at the stars, a figure was slowly approaching him.
