Finale (I) Chapter 18 Subverts the speculation of the previous situation
"Please teach the third master!"
"Let me put it simply, the Zhang family is a big family, they must live outside Banai Village, it is likely to be from other provinces, if someone from the Zhang family dies, then the custom of returning to the funeral will make them come to Banai, and there will inevitably be outsiders in Banai Village. There are two possibilities here, one is that the number of outsiders is very small, and the corpses are secretly wrapped and secretly buried in the mountains; The second is that the coffin or corpse is very heavy, so the number of outsiders is relatively large, and it will be a funeral team. I lit a cigarette, "The former is unlikely, in this deep mountain, it takes a lot of supplies to go back and forth, and it is unrealistic for two or three people to carry a corpse into the mountain, and the second possibility is much greater, but have you noticed that all these characteristics are too similar to the appearance of the archaeological team." ”
Pan Zi slapped his thigh and understood.
"My mother, you mean, it's not an archaeological team at all! Fuck, the archaeological team back then was the Zhang family who came to Zhangjialou for the funeral? ”
I nodded: "We were preconceived by the name of the archaeological team, we always thought that the archaeological team had to dig something out, but, perhaps, they came here not to dig something out at all." ”
Xiaohua nodded: "They are at the funeral." ”
"However, the Huo family is also among them." I said, "Is she the Zhang family?" ”
"No, no, no, let's start from the beginning, combine all the information." "We know that the archaeological team was of a very high standard, and it was even received by a certain top leader. ”
I said: "Someone once told me that the events of that year had a strong political atmosphere, and even reached the sky. The background behind it is extremely deep. ”
Xiaohua continued: "At first, we all thought that they were here to find the Zhangjia Ancient Mansion and take something from it. The only clue. It's the pieces of iron. ”
I said, "Now, we all know, they probably didn't want to take things out. It's about sending things in. They're sending a funeral. There is Huo Ling in the team, although Huo Ling is not surnamed Zhang. But when a big family comes out of the funeral, there will still be many compatriots with different surnames, so it is not impossible for Huo Ling to be among them. ”
Xiaohua and I were silent at the same time, and my brain suddenly became a little stiff, not because of confusion, but because of the stiffness of extremely clear thinking.
After a long time, Pan Zicai said, "their grandma, I'm not interested in any of this." I just want to know, if your speculation is true, who did they send in? ”
I shook my head, and said in my heart that only ghosts know, anyone is possible, and asked Xiaohua again: "Zhang is the number one surname in the world." Could it be Zhang Da Buddha? ”
"You can't use this as a corollary, in that era, it was too easy to change a name, everyone in Lao Jiumen had at least a dozen pseudonyms, and almost all of their last names were not their original names. Zhang Da Buddha obviously has something to do with the Zhang family. But according to what I know about them, it shouldn't be, and Aunt Huo Ling is not a thoughtful person in the old lady's mouth. If it is Zhang Da Buddha's burial, it should be the old lady who goes in person, and will not find a junior who is not particularly outstanding. ”
I nodded, Xiaohua was very persuasive, and he said: "In addition, there is a very big possibility, that is, 'Dove occupies the magpie's nest', and the lord who is sent in is probably not the descendant of the Zhang family." Maybe it was because the Zhangjia Ancient Building had some weird effect that we didn't know about, so they sent the body in. That can also explain the problem of the third master just now from another direction. ”
"You mean, why is Huo Ling in the funeral procession?"
"It's better than taking out the contents of an ancient tomb. Sending a corpse in can be even more difficult. Assuming that the forces behind the joint tomb robbery activities of the old nine gates were also the forces behind the archaeological team in '79, then what happened here in '79 should be a continuation of the old nine gates incident. It is not as simple destruction as robbing a tomb, and burying an ancient tomb is like making a dojo in a snail shell, in this case, the requirements for the team are higher. It is not unusual for the new generation of Huo Ling to be recruited to appear here. ”
I touched the sweat on my head and said to myself that this was something I hadn't expected at all.
"Of course, we're just speculating now, and we have to go inside to determine what the truth is." Xiaohua said, "No matter what the truth is, it is obviously related to my older generation, and I suddenly understand why so many people in my upper generation suddenly want to wash their heads and give up such a big business, and would rather let their children and grandchildren do a small business." The water is too deep. ”
I knew that he was talking about a few families in the old nine gates, and I said, "But, aren't there many families or have they been passed down?" ”
"The few families that have been passed down all have very good backgrounds, and they are probably involuntarily self-conscious." Xiaohua said, "Compared to us poor worms who are trapped in this circle and can't extricate themselves, Master Wu can set up such a layout to whitewash you, it's really not an ordinary person." Although my grandfather Xie Jiuye has always been a recognized genius in the old nine gates, but in terms of courage, he is really inferior to Dog Five. ”
Is that really the case? As I listened to Xiaohua, an inspiration flashed through my mind.
I didn't tell Xiaohua a lot of things, they didn't know so many things that happened between Xie Lian and my third uncle, Xiaohua said that my grandfather deliberately whitewashed, I always thought it was a very easy process, but when he said this, I suddenly realized, maybe I thought too simply.
First of all, the whole situation in my family, my father has two brothers, a total of three brothers, my father is completely whitewashed, the second uncle has half a foot in the inside and half a foot outside, and the third uncle has inherited everything, but he is self-taught, and my grandfather did not teach him much.
Is such a structure really natural? I thought that the third and second uncles had no children, and only my father, who was completely whitewashed, gave birth to me. If, as Xiaohua said, then this is the case - this is a silent agreement.
The third uncle entered the industry, as the person who carried everything, the second uncle as a backup, weighing in secret, and my father completely withdrew, so that in the third uncle's generation, the mysterious pressure may not be so great, and then to the next generation, my third uncle and the second uncle did not have children, and in my generation, the relationship between the Wu family and this mysterious pressure was completely cut off.
Thinking about this process, it is also quite possible, I took a puff of cigarette, and said in my heart, Third Uncle, I have suffered you, although you have been dropped.
Yun Cai beckoned us to eat at this time, and Xiaohua said to me: "Don't talk about it, everything will be true in a few hours, if it fails, then ask us elders directly what is going on." (To be continued)
