Chapter 30: The Uninhabited Village
Before entering the village, I smelled the smell of smoke and fire coming from the village, and many intersections were cordoned, and the streets were messy and full of garbage.
There is a huge small Yiwan, and there is no one in it, which is really desolate enough.
Uncle, third uncle, and Aunt Wang would knock lightly on the door every time they went to a house, but no one responded to her at all, and it seemed that the whole village was gone.
Wang Yulian seemed to realize this, and couldn't help crying sadly, I hurriedly comforted her and said don't worry, maybe to prevent infectious diseases, the government let the villagers temporarily move to other places, let's look for it.
Wang Yulian nodded, and then led me towards her house.
Along the way, I saw white silk hanging in front of several doors, and the streets were all scattered with dark money and paper money, and for some reason, I had the illusion that this was a fucking ghost village.
The village is surrounded by towering trees, and it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate, so the whole street is gloomy.
Wow!
I didn't expect Wang Yulian to walk and walk, she cried loudly, she cried like this, and suddenly my whole body trembled, I quickly asked: What's wrong Yulian?
Wang Yulian hugged me, closed her eyes and pointed her fingers, crying very much: This is my home, this is my home.
When I saw it, I couldn't help but gasp, but I didn't expect Wang Yulian's house to hang white silk. So, Wang Yulian's parents are really dead?
I comforted her and said: It's okay Yulian, don't be sad, I'll take you in to have a look.
Wang Yulian nodded: Yes.
With that, she let go of me and went in with me.
When I pushed the door open, a burning smell came. I frowned, and noticed a large cloud of ash in the corner, which looked like it was the ashes of some of the clothes I wore on a daily basis.
The filial piety shed was erected at the main entrance, blocking the light, and the room looked extremely dim.
There are two coffins on both sides of the filial piety shed, and two photos of a man and a woman are placed on the coffins. If you guess correctly, inside these two coffins, the remains of Wang Yulian's parents should have been stored, right?
After all, although cremation is now strictly ordered, the relevant departments still turn a blind eye to the rural areas.
But now the bodies should have been removed, because the bodies that died of these infectious diseases must be professionally disposed of.
When Wang Yulian saw the coffin and the photo of her parents, she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart anymore, and knelt on the ground and cried. I didn't stop her, maybe it would be better to cry.
I lit a few sticks of incense and inserted them in the censer, as a courtesy gesture to the two deceased.
When Wang Yulian was almost crying, I handed her a pack of napkins and said, "Yulian, I have a friend in this village, he can help us, why don't we go to him first!"
Wang Yulian nodded and said, "Brother Song, I listen to you."
Next, we started looking for the little brother. When I was searching for my little brother, I was actually very conflicted in my heart, since the second uncle knew that the whole village was gone, why didn't he stop us? It doesn't feel like a normal person would do anything at all.
We searched carefully to see if there were any villagers who hadn't left, and maybe we could get the answer from the villagers.
Of course, it's best to be able to find the little brother.
Invisibly, I have regarded my little brother as my last dependence, maybe only when my little brother is by my side, I can get a sense of security.
We searched one by one, but we didn't expect to find a big living person: when passing by an alley, we saw a blind old lady, who was touching the wall, walking forward little by little. Occasionally, when I came across a bottle or two, I would squat down to pick it up.
That's from your village? I asked Wang Yulian.
Wang Yulian looked at the old lady in confusion: No, I don't remember that there is this person in our village.
Never mind what, let's go ask about the situation! I said to Wang Yulian.
Wang Yulian nodded and walked up with me. I thought it might be that the old lady was blind and lost, and ended up accidentally walking here.
After I walked up, I found that the old lady's pupils were actually glassy. His eyes were wide open, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the movement, probably hearing us coming.
I immediately greeted the old lady: Hello old lady, are you a resident here?
The old lady shook her head again and again: No, I can't find the way, and my daughter is gone.
I said, "Old lady, are you lost?" Come, sit down and take a break.
I sat down on a stone by the hand of the old lady and asked, "Old lady, are you here with your daughter?"
The old lady said, "Yes, I came to pick up my daughter home, but I waited for several days, and I didn't wait for my daughter, and I couldn't get out of here.
I asked the old lady: Old lady, you don't know which village this is, this is Xiaoyi Bay in the suburbs.
Little Yiwan? The old lady was suddenly electrified, and said in a panic: No, send me away quickly, send me out of here.
And I was extremely puzzled in my heart, why was the old lady scared like this as soon as she heard that this was Xiaoyiwan?
I asked, "Old lady, why are you afraid of Xiao Yiwan?"
Here, haunted. The old lady's voice trembled: Send me away! Do well.
Wang Yulian and I listened, and couldn't help but glance at each other: There are ghosts here? How do you know.
Xiaoyiwan Xiaoyiwan, do you know what Xiaoyiwan used to be? The old lady asked rhetorically.
I've only seen it on the map of Nanjing, but it's the first time I've been here, so I said I didn't know.
The old lady explained: Xiaoyiwan is Yizhuang. At the beginning, the Nanjing Massacre killed many people, and some corpses had no place to be placed, so they were placed here, and a Yizhuang was temporarily built.
When the old lady said this, Wang Yulian's hearts and I immediately jumped wildly.
Are you kidding? In the past, this place was Yizhuang, and there were a lot of corpses stored? In this mass grave in history, such an inexplicable infectious disease has occurred, which has to make people think about it.
Wang Yulian also bit her lip: No wonder
I hurriedly asked Wang Yulian what was wrong, what was the wonder.
Wang Yulian sighed and said: In the past, when the villagers went to the ground, they would often dig up skeletons, but now it seems that I know how those skeletons came to be.
I asked in surprise: Old lady, isn't it, many of the victims of the Nanjing Massacre are buried here?
The old lady's glass eyes made me tingle for a while: yes, it was buried in the ground of this village, and it was in the middle of the village. Because later, a foreigner passed by here and found this Yizhuang, and thought it was not bad, so he stayed and planted. Then more and more residents came, and this slowly developed into the current Xiaoyi Bay.
I said, "Old lady, if you go out, I'll send you out."
The old lady was a little puzzled: Why, you two don't leave? By the way, I've been here for two days, and I haven't met a single villager? There is a person, but listening to him, it seems that he is not from Nanjing.
I immediately thought of my little brother, and hurriedly asked the old lady what kind of person she had met. The old lady thought for a moment and said, "The voice is quite young, but the speech is not very neat.
When I heard this, my heart was already excited.
That's right, that person must be the little brother! Because the little brother is Thai, it is a little awkward to speak Mandarin.
I hurriedly asked, "Old lady, this young man is my friend, where did you meet him?"
It's right in the alley. The old lady said, "The young man seemed to be wounded, and he was bleeding a lot, and he drank a glass of water and went away without saying a word."
What the? Hearing the old lady say this, I was worried that it would be bad.
As soon as my mind was hot, I rushed into the alley, and sure enough, I found a large pool of blood at the end of the alley.
Oh my God, after so much blood, can people survive? I really knocked over the five-flavor bottle in my heart, not the taste.
How is the little brother now? Will it be dangerous?
People as powerful as him have been injured, what killing motives are hidden in this Xiaoyiwan?
I decided to settle the old lady first, and then hurry to find the little brother.
