Ji Zizheng and I said goodbye to the one-eyed old man, and prepared to go to Henan with Li Qingshan and them to visit Zhao Gao's tomb.

Wu Sanjiang went to find Zhao Gao's tomb a year ago, but he hasn't come back until now, and he doesn't know what happened.

We contacted Hu Liang to find out that they had already set off at noon.

Ji Zi and I went to buy a ticket from Beijing to Ruzhou, Henan, and the ride time was half past nine in the evening, before we went to the orphanage in the north of the city. I met the busy director at the entrance of the orphanage, a woman who looked to be in her forties and fifties, and her surname was Joe.

After Dean Qiao knew my identity and intention, he shouted to the little boy under the osmanthus tree by the wall, "Xiaobao, someone has come to see you." ”

The little boy didn't turn around, he kept standing under the osmanthus tree and didn't know what he was looking at, Dean Qiao sighed and said, "After his brother's incident, it has always been like this." ”

I walked up to the little boy and called Xiaobao, Xiaobao looked up at me and called out to the big brother.

I touched his head and told him something encouraging. Then he got up and handed the 20,000 yuan prepared in advance to Dean Qiao, which was donated to the orphanage, and asked her to take more care of Xiaobao's child.

In the evening, Ji Zizheng and I got on the train to Ruzhou, Henan, and arrived in Ruzhou at nine o'clock the next morning.

Zhao Gao's tomb is in Zhaoluo Village, in the east of Zhifang Township, Ruzhou City, Pingdingshan. When we arrived by renting a car, it was already afternoon, and the terrain of Zhaoluo Village was not remote, but it was very depressed from a distance, just like a deserted village.

When we came, we had already sent a text message to Hu Liang, and Li Qingshan's mobile phone number could not be called, but the phone was turned off and could not be reached. I looked for a long time in Zhaoluo Village, but I didn't see any ancient tombs.

We stopped a thin old man on the road at the entrance of the village, and asked him if he was a villager of Zhaoluo Village, and if he had seen a group of outsiders coming to Zhaoluo Village, Li Qingshan's appearance was easy to recognize, and if he saw it, he would definitely be able to remember.

The old man shook his head and said, "I haven't seen anyone coming, and you don't look at where this is, what are those people you talking about coming to this place?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, looking at the desolation around me, and there was no place to stay, I couldn't live in these villagers' homes at night, and there was still a shadow in my heart last time in Miaozi Village, for fear that something would jump out in the middle of the night to scare people to death.

I asked, "Then I'll just ask." Where is Zhao Gao's tomb?! ”

As soon as the old man heard me ask about Zhao Gao's tomb, his face changed suddenly, but he was not afraid, but angry: "Why are you asking Zhao Gao's tomb to rob the tomb?!" "Hongxie is dead.

I didn't expect the old man to say it so directly. He shook his head and said, "Find someone." ”

The old man said, "Zhao Gao is your relative?" ”

"Uncle, you see you say, my surname is Wang, how can I have anything to do with his family!" I was stunned, I don't know where this old man got such a big fire.

"I'm not familiar with Zhao Gao, I want to see him weave a rope by himself and hang it on the tree next to him." The uncle turned around and walked away as he spoke, looking like a belly full of fire.

I wondered in my heart, Ji Zizheng was also dumbfounded when he looked at it next to him, I don't understand where this old man has such a big temper, if I use Taoism to fix him, he is so scared that he is half dead and maybe he can't get up when he goes back to lie down, but he doesn't say the reason, it's really annoying.

It just so happened that at this time, there was a man with a hoe at the intersection behind him, who looked to be in his forties. ”

The big man said, "Ask." ”

Ji Zi said straight to the point: "How to go to Zhao Gao's tomb?" ”

When the big man heard Ji Zizheng's words, his eyes turned red, and he picked up the hoe in his hand and fought for Ji Zizheng, I was just about to make a move, but Ji Zizheng dodged sideways, hit my arm and shouted: "Run!" ”

I felt uncomfortable in my heart, how could these people be in such a hurry when they heard Zhao Gao, but they were just ordinary villagers, and they only scared people, I couldn't teach them a lesson.

The big man scolded with red eyes in the back: "Two little kids, turtle grandson, dare to laugh at your uncle!" ”

We ran to a distance and stopped, and Himeko looked at the half-dead man and said, "Zhao Gao must owe a lot of money to their family." ”

After the uncle walked away, we looked at the desolate Zhaoluo Village and didn't know what to do, and at this moment, a woman sitting in front of her house and peeling peanuts beckoned us to come over.

Ji Zizheng and I glanced at each other and walked towards the aunt, who asked us with a smile while peeling peanuts, "Where is the tour?" ”

I said, "Find someone." ”

Aunt said, "Looking for Zhao Gao?" ”

Himeko scrambled and said, "I'm not familiar with him!" ”

The aunt was happy when she heard Ji Zizheng's words, and he asked us to sit on the white stone next to us, and told us about Zhaoluo Village with the work in hand.

It turned out that Zhaoluo Village had a legend a long time ago that it was the village where Zhao Gao, the great traitor of the Qin Dynasty, stayed in the village, and this was passed on by everyone, and in the end it became that the villagers of Zhaoluo Village were the descendants of the eunuch Zhao Gao.

The villagers of Zhaoluo Village were half angry, but they couldn't just move the place where their ancestors had lived for generations because of a ridicule, right?

Zhao Gao's notoriety has been shrouded in Zhaoluo Village, and the villagers of Zhaoluo Village have been making do, after a long time, everyone is used to it, not to mention how many times from the Qin Dynasty to the present dynasty, Zhao Gao was originally infamous, and no one wanted to mention him, during the Anti-Japanese War, the villagers of several villages were all family, and no one cared who Zhao Gao was, and at that time, everyone didn't read, and they didn't know who Zhao Gao was.

But there was a traitor in Zhaoluo Village, and the traitor almost slaughtered all the villagers in Shili Eight Villages with the little Japanese devils, saying that several nearby villages harbored anti-Japanese elements. In the end, seeing that little Japan was about to slaughter the village, several PLA troops had to come out and send them to death.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, life gradually became peaceful, and the township brigades opened schools, vigorously promoted education, and organized scholars in various villages to teach children, and the difference between humans and animals lies in the accumulation and dissemination of knowledge, and education is very necessary.

In the turmoil of 2,000 years, Zhaoluo Village gradually calmed down, and the children of every family carried flower cloth bags to school.

But one day, a group of tomb robbers came.

The gang of tomb robbers found a tomb that was not very large in the underground of Zhaoluo Village, at that time, the countryside was very taboo about ancient tombs, what kind of good place could it be to bury the dead? What's more, this is Zhaoluo Village, digging graves in this place, isn't that just digging people's ancestral graves?

But the gang of tomb robbers did not shy away from it, they dared to dig in front of the villagers in broad daylight, this was just the end of the war, the liberation war was not completely over, and the people who touched the mountains and fought were all practitioners, one top five, even if there were wild young people in the village who spoke disrespectfully, they had to be beaten.

The gang of tomb robbers told them that this was Zhao Gao's tomb, and they would leave after digging, which could be regarded as a scourge, and the villagers did not understand, whether it was Zhao Gao or Zhao Low, he was surnamed Zhao and was from Zhaoluo Village, so someone went to the township to report that someone had dug the ancestral grave of Zhaoluo Village.

The leaders in the township are all scholars, as soon as they heard that the tomb of Zhaoluo Village was dug up, they realized that it was a tomb robbery, but at that time, the responsibilities of various departments were not very clear, and there was no charge of tomb robbery, so they also sent people to arrest the tomb robbers in line with the principle that everything is the country, and only after arriving did they know that the tomb robbers had been scared away when they heard the movement, and finally they didn't know whether Zhao Gao's tomb had been stolen.

Others didn't know who Zhao Gao was, but several township leaders knew that when they heard that it was Zhao Gao's tomb, they were afraid that it would be unlucky to report the grandson of this disaster to the country and the people at this juncture, so they didn't dare to report it.

The spring breeze of education is popularized, there is a person who knows who Zhao Gao is, it won't take long for everyone to know who Zhao Gao is, as soon as everyone heard that Zhao Gao was the worst traitor in the Qin Dynasty, and he was a eunuch, this was lively, and the traitor in Zhao Luocun was dug up a few years ago.

Everyone said that the ancestors of Zhao Luocun were traitors who brought disaster to the country and the people, and they were eunuchs, so it is no wonder that there will be traitors.

At that time, people still attached great importance to the issue of reputation, and the sentence "After the guy in such and such a village is a eunuch and a traitor, that thing is not good by nature!" "Even if it looks like Pan An, no one dares to marry it, man, you don't need that thing, but it can't be useless, let alone without!

Since then, Zhaoluo Village has become a singles village.

The women of Zhaoluo Village do not have a high status when they marry, and the men are singles, so anyone who hears the word Zhao Gao will not be angry.

This thing is a no-brainer.
