"That graveyard seems to be special." Dong Qingqing pointed to a pine forest road to the south.

That cemetery is truly different. Not only are there many graves, but there are also tombstones, and many pine trees are planted between the graves.

"That's the graveyard of the Gu family—it's the graveyard of the Gu Lirao family." Zhao Datong said.

So, everyone walked to the ancestral tomb of the ancient family.

There is a semicircular ridge built up with soil around the ancient family cemetery, this is the obvious difference between the ancient family's cemetery and the surrounding tombs, there is a relatively wide mouth in the south of the earthen ridge, within the range of more than ten steps in the opening, it is flat land, these flat land can still hold at least seven or eight tombs, the ancestors of the ancient family are very far-sighted, when they are alive, they have reserved the underground for future generations.

The tombs are arranged according to generations, and in the first row, everyone sees the tombstones of Gu Wangyu and Gu Wangyun, and there is a gap between the first row of graves and the second row of graves that can accommodate the next row of graves.

Zhao Datong said that this gap was reserved for Gu Lirao's generation. After listening to Zhao Datong's words, and looking at the gap in front of him, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed that two days later, the first row of graves, next to Gu Wangyun, would add a new grave.

The author will not say, everyone should be able to guess that there must be a tomb in the second row of graves that is the tomb of Gu Lirao's father, Gu Deren.

Yes, there is only one grave in the second row, and this tomb is Gu Deren's, and Gu Deren's name is very clearly written on the tombstone.

The third row is a husband and wife tomb, and the tombstone is engraved with the names of Gu Lirao's grandfather Gu Minghuai and grandmother Gu Liu.

To the west of the ancient family cemetery there is a holly forest.

"Xiao Zhao, whose ancestral grave is that, it seems to be very particular." Yan Jianhua asked, pointing to the holly forest.

"That's the Rong family's graveyard." Zhao Datong said.

The group walked up to the holly grove.

There is no mounds around the cemetery of the Rong family, but there is a circle of small-leaved boxwoods.

In the small-leaved boxwood, there are more than 20 large and small graves.

"This is the ancestral tomb of the Rongguangyao and Rongguang clans, in Guli Village, there are several branches of the Rong family, and the one of the Rongguangyao and Rongguangzong is the most prominent. for some of their fathers were rulers. ”

At the northernmost end of the cemetery, there is a very large, very abrupt mound. The tombstone also appears very tall and very wide.

Everyone walked to the front, the tombstone was engraved with three vertical lines, and the upper right corner of the right tombstone was engraved with "Qingdao Guangjiang Ningzhi County"; In the middle is engraved "Tomb of the Honored Sexun", and in the lower left corner is engraved the time of birth and death. Tombstone with a pedestal underneath and a crown on it.

Further west, there are scattered graves, among which there are some graves where the mound has collapsed and the bones are exposed. On and between these mounds, there are weeds and shrubs that have never been tended to be.

"Xiao Zhao, what's going on with these graves?" Ouyang Ping asked.

"Listening to the old people in the village, in the early days of the Republic of China, there was a plague here, in just half a month, dozens of people died, because there was no money for burial, so they dug a pit, piled a little soil, and buried it hastily. Most of these graves are out of the house. So no one asked. ”

"What do you mean by 'no household'?" Dong Qingqing asked.

"Even if the whole family was infected with the plague, they all died. The villagers helped to bury the body, but there was no one to go to the grave to sweep the grave. ”
