Chapter 69: The Ancestral Tomb Is Destroyed
"What?" When Wu Zhiyuan heard Sheng Wanxiang's words, he stood up suddenly, looked at Sheng Wanxiang with a frightened face, and said angrily, "What did you see?" Say it again! β
"I ...... I saw that there were white bones everywhere......" Sheng Wanxiang was frightened by Wu Zhiyuan's sudden change of attitude, and hurriedly replied without daring to disobey.
Wu Zhiyuan sat on the kang again, frowning, his eyes bulging, as if he was thinking about something in his mind, and he didn't say a word.
"Brother Zhiyuan, what's wrong?" Moon Shadow Fuxian asked with concern.
"Could it be...... The people of the village...... All...... All dead? Wu Zhiyuan said, his eyes were moist. The tempering of the month since he ran away from home has turned him from a naΓ―ve boy who is ignorant of the world and weak to a man who knows how to be strong, and tears have long been insulated from him.
"Ahh Moon Shadow Fuxian and Sheng Wanxiang shouted out in unison, their eyes revealing surprise at the same time.
"No, it can't be! Let's go check it out now! Wu Zhiyuan shook his head violently, turned over and got off the kang, put on his shoes and took the lead to run outside. Moon Shadow Fuxian and Sheng Wanxiang didn't dare to slack off, and followed Wu Zhiyuan.
Sheng Wanxiang just said that the location was in the west of the village, but Wu Zhiyuan seemed to know the specific location of the road, a person was running fast in front, obviously having already transported the vitality, the vitality of the Moon Shadow Fuxian was much higher than Wu Zhiyuan, and it was easy to catch up with him, but as soon as she saw Sheng Wanxiang being left behind by the two of them, the Moon Shadow Fuxian was afraid that something would happen to her, so she simply pulled Sheng Wanxiang and ran her vitality to chase Wu Zhiyuan, because with a person, the speed was naturally much slower.
When Moon Shadow Fuxian and Sheng Wanxiang arrived at the location of the white bones in the west of the village, they found that Wu Zhiyuan was already there, but instead of standing there, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Moon Shadow Fuxian looked west, only to see that this west was actually a cemetery, but this cemetery seems to have been destroyed by man, now all the stone tablets are either broken from the middle, or smashed to pieces, what is even more terrifying is that the dead buried in the tomb bag have all been dug up, the coffins have been completely destroyed, some of the corpses have just rotted, some only have white bones left, the rotting corpses have been torn into several pieces, and the white bones have been raised all over the ground. This situation is so miserable.
Sheng Wanxiang's mouth opened wide in surprise, the scene in front of her was clearer and more real than what she had seen last night, and it was more terrifying.
It turns out that this is not a mass grave, but the ancestral grave of Wujia Village. For a hundred years, the people of Wujia Village have lived at the foot of this Dragon Mountain for generations, and they were buried in this cemetery after their deaths. Starting from the two Wu brothers, the ancestors of Wujia Village, after nearly ten generations of reproduction, this village has also developed from the original two families established by the two Wu brothers to more than 50 households, which can be described as a strong population. But now that the ancestral graves of nearly ten generations have all been excavated, who will do such an intolerable thing?
Wu Zhiyuan knelt on the ground, his hands on the ground, in pain, the scene in front of him was like a bolt from the blue for him, a descendant of the Wu family. Moon Shadow Fuxian and Sheng Wanxiang wanted to step forward to comfort them, but they didn't know how to speak.
"Ancestral Hall!" Wu Zhiyuan suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, he stood up suddenly, and rushed towards a temple located not far north of the cemetery.
Wu Zhiyuan was faintly worried that the Wu ancestral hall might have been destroyed, and when he rushed into the gate of the ancestral hall, he found that what he was worried about had indeed happened.
I saw that all the tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall were smashed to pieces, and the offering table was also overturned, and the entire ancestral hall was in a mess.
The Moon Shadow Fuxian and Sheng Wanxiang who followed were also stunned by the scene in front of them, they didn't understand, who was the person who dug up the ancestral grave and destroyed the ancestral hall, and what kind of blood feud did he have with Wujia Village, so that he would do such a hurtful thing?
Wu Zhiyuan glanced at everything that had been damaged in the ancestral hall, and suddenly let out a heart-rending roar, his grief had instantly turned into anger.
"I must find this murderer and break him into pieces!" After Wu Zhiyuan screamed, he gritted his teeth and swore an oath.
Moon Shadow Fuxian and Sheng Wanxiang looked at each other, they could understand Wu Zhiyuan's mood at this time, but what was happening in front of them was really angry and incomprehensible, and the disappearance of the entire village without a trace cast a veil of mystery over this matter.
Wu Zhiyuan looked at the broken tablets all over the ground, pondered for a long time, and sat down on the threshold of the ancestral hall against the door frame, sighing constantly.
"I can't imagine that Wujia Village's hundred years of life and life will finally end up like this, there are more than 100 people in the village, and only I, a descendant of the unscrupulous, remain." Wu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Zhiyuan, don't be sad first, I think the people in the village must still be alive, otherwise we wouldn't even see the corpse." Sheng Wanxiang squatted down in front of Wu Zhiyuan and comforted gently.
Wu Zhiyuan shook his head gently, sighed, and said in a calm tone: "I have already thought about it just now, destroying the ancestral tomb and ancestral hall of Wujia Village, the person who did this must have a common hatred with our surname Wu, otherwise he would not have done such a thing that people and gods are angry about." People say that the dead are great, not to mention the dead who have been buried in the earth, and now they don't even let go of the people who have been in the ground for decades, so do the living still have any hope of survival? β
"It's just that I haven't been able to figure out who this person really is. Maybe it's because I'm relatively young and junior in the village, and I've never heard of such an enemy in our Wujia Village. I was born as a descendant of the Wu family, and I must have an explanation for the ancestors of the Wu family, but now I don't even know who my enemies are, I ...... I'm just so useless. β
Wu Zhiyuan punched himself in the thigh, pondered for a moment and continued: "For as long as I can remember, the people of our Wujia Village have gotten along extremely well, and we have never had any fights with people from other villages. Besides, our village is far away from the surrounding villages, and we rarely come and go, so if it was done by other villages, it would be relatively loud and not as quiet as it is now, so this matter will definitely not be a fight between the two villages. β
"As for the horse thief that Moon Shadow said, ......" Wu Zhiyuan looked up at Moon Shadow Fuxian, and shook his head again, "It's impossible, Wujia Village has never had a horse thief in history, and everyone knows the methods of horse thieves, they burned houses, robbed money, food and women, but now the houses in the village are intact, and there is no trace of looting money." β
At this point, Wu Zhiyuan stopped and fell into deep thought. After experiencing so many things in two days, he began to learn to analyze things calmly, not to be sad or angry.
A man's maturity is often in an instant.
"Brother Zhiyuan, I always feel that this matter is very strange." The three of them were silent for a long time, and the Moon Shadow Fuxian broke the silence and said.
Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang looked at her at the same time, their eyes full of questions and expectations, and Moon Shadow Fuxian continued: "Do you remember when we first arrived in the village, you pushed through the door of that third aunt's house? β
Wu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly realized: "You mean, the door of the third aunt's house is locked from the inside?" β
