Chapter XXVII: The Ancestral Grave

Ma Jun nodded again, and when he heard this, I hurriedly turned around and walked back, "My second uncle came here a few days ago?" ”

Ma Jun didn't speak, but nodded. I suddenly felt resentful, "What the hell is this old man doing!" If you're not dead, why hide! ”

Lantern Xiao raised her hand to signal me not to get excited, I turned to Ma Jun and said, "How did you know my second uncle?" ”

Ma Jun finished the cigarette in his hand in a few sips, put the cigarette butt on the ground and twisted it vigorously with his feet, "The second brother gave me food, and gave me medicine." He's a good guy! ”

Only then did I understand that the second uncle was not just dispensing medicine for Ma Jun, it turned out that the second uncle was still helping him. Lantern Xiao asked, "What about the rest of your family?" ”

Ma Jun laughed maniacally again, "It's dead!" Gone! It's all gone! ”

Lantern Xiao sighed and said to me, "This is also a poor person! Your second uncle is a bodhisattva! I smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect my second uncle to do such a thing." ”

Lantern Xiao sighed and said, "However, your second uncle has found a reliable helper for himself." ”

I asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Lantern Xiao pointed at Ma Jun, "You said that he is like this, if you help your second uncle do something, even if someone finds out, who would think that a madman is instructed by someone, and even if Ma Jun says something, who will believe the words of a madman." If you hadn't been bumped into by us today, you would definitely not be able to expose the identity of your second uncle. ”

I nodded, and I had to admit that what Lantern Xiao said made sense. But I always felt that there was another reason for this, and I couldn't help but think of the incident that my second uncle told me about Ma Jun and them back then......

I looked at Ma Jun's eyes, I don't know if it was because he had just smoked a cigarette, nicotine seemed to stimulate his nerves, and Ma Jun's eyes no longer seemed to be as cloudy as just now, so I tried to ask: "Uncle Ma, were you a soldier in western Gansu back then?" ”

Ma Jun suddenly stood upright, "Ma Jun, a soldier of the third company and the fifth squad of the engineering corps of the Northwest XXX Military Region, came to report!" With that, he squatted down against the tree again.

I was taken aback by his sudden appearance, and then I calmed down and continued to ask: "Then before you left the army, did you go to Qilian Mountain on a mission?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Ma Jun immediately lowered his head, and I found that his hands were tightly clasped together, and I could see that he used a lot of strength, and his bones and joints were a little white from his grip. It seems that in his heart, he is extremely entangled in something.

I waited like this for a long time, but I didn't get an answer from Ma Jun. It made me feel a little anxious, and I felt that it was too early to waste too much time here. So I was ready to ask the last question I wanted to ask, and of course, the one I wanted to figure out the most.

I thought if I could get the answer to this question, maybe, I would be able to get to the heart of the whole thing!

I leaned close to Ma Jun and asked word by word: "Back then, when you were on a mission, what did you see in the car?" ”

After saying these words, I obviously saw Ma Jun tremble suddenly, and he also didn't speak for a long time, but I found that his breathing began to become rapid, like a bull ready to attack.

Lantern Xiao felt that something was not right, reached out and pulled me, and then took a few steps back. Suddenly, Ma Jun shouted and jumped up, and we were so frightened by his sudden movement that our hearts tightened, and we were just about to start hand-to-hand combat, but we didn't want to beat Ma Jun and ran up the hill without a single turn.

Lan Xiao and I were stunned for a moment, then glanced at each other, "Chase!" ”

So the three of us started the second round of chase, although the cold northwest wind was blowing stronger and stronger, but at this time the three of us had no chill, sweating profusely, and the heat was bubbling from the top of our heads.

Although Ma Jun was not mentally normal, he had excellent physical strength, as dexterous as an ape, and he was running rapidly in the woods. Lantern Xiao and I tried our best in the back to barely keep up, and from time to time I was caught by a branch, and I accidentally got a long blood mark on my forehead from a branch sticking out.

I grinned and gasped in pain, but I didn't dare slow down. The figure of Ma Jun in front of us became more and more blurred in our vision, but fortunately, I could still hear his voice, so the two of us would not be left behind by him.

Ma Jun went all the way up the mountain road, this turtle back mountain is actually not very high, and we have already climbed a distance before, so this run is basically about to reach the top of the mountain.

I knew that my family's ancestral grave was located east of the top of the mountain, and that it was very close to that place at this time, and I wondered in my heart that since we were about to reach our original destination, if the Ma army ran down the hill in a while, should we chase after it.

I was thinking about it, when I suddenly saw Ma Jun turn around and run straight to the east, and the direction he went was exactly the location of my ancestral grave! My heart was moved, this misguided kung fu, Ma Jun's figure that was still looming in front of us, completely disappeared at this time, and I could only rely on my hearing to vaguely find his location.

Lantern Xiao was behind me, tired and out of breath, his face was flushed, but he still refused to give up, scolding in his mouth, and he looked like he was going to die to the end.

We followed the sound around a few more trees, and suddenly, I tripped over something, and I nearly fell to the ground, stumbling a few steps before I could barely hold my figure.

And at this moment, I also noticed that the footsteps of Ma Jun, who were faintly appearing in front just now, could not be sensed at all at this time.

I couldn't help but stop, and Lantern Xiao followed, panting and asking, "How is it?" How did it stop? ”

I looked around and said, "I'm lost, I can't hear him!" ”

Lantern Xiao sighed, "You're really tired and stupid, without your radar ears, you wouldn't be chasing, right, he can't fly!" Hurry up, keep chasing! With that, he pushed me and continued to chase after me. I took a few breaths and quickly followed.

We hadn't gone a few more steps before we realized that we were out of the woods. Outside the woods was a clearing, and in the clearing, there were many graves standing neatly. I stood outside the woods and recognized it at a glance, this is clearly my ancestral grave!

We hurriedly looked around, this open space is not small, a horse and a flat river are unobstructed, at a glance, at a glance, at a glance. If Ma Jun is still on the run, we will definitely find him immediately.

But after our careful search, we didn't find the shadow of Ma Jun, so Lantern Xiao walked over and whispered, "Could it be hidden in this cemetery?" ”

I nodded, "It's possible!" ”

Lantern Xiao turned on the flashlight in his hand, "How about it, do you dare to go into the cemetery in the middle of the night to look for it?" ”

I sneered, "Dare, what's not to dare about, this is my family's ancestral grave!" ”

"Huh?" Lantern Xiao smiled, "That's no problem, it's not an outsider!" With that, he walked in first. I also turned on the flashlight and walked in with the Lantern Festival.

Our Zhuo family has been operating here for a hundred years, and the people are thriving, and some of the same clan have moved in from time to time, so that the scale of this cemetery is really not small, and there are many graves, and the size is even different. Looking at those graves with neat soil and clean surroundings, it must be that their descendants are prosperous, and people will come to sweep the graves every year, and some of the graves are even rebuilt into cement or stone.

And some of the graves are low and overgrown with weeds, presumably they are also in the middle of the road, and there is no successor.

Lantern Xiao and I each held a flashlight and walked through it. Although I kept silently saying in my heart: This is my family's ancestral grave! The grave is full of my relatives and elders! But despite this, I still felt a chill in my back, and even the northwest wind with a chill seemed to be mixed with some eerie atmosphere.

Lantern Xiao and I walked around the cemetery separately, but we didn't find anything, could it be that Ma Jun disappeared out of thin air like this?

I looked at the Lantern Festival coming towards me, and the latter also spread his hands at me, indicating that he hadn't found it. This made me sigh lightly.

Lantern Xiao scratched her head and complained, "There are too many dead people in your family!" I can't even see it! ”

I raised my leg and gave Lantern Xiao a kick, "Fart!" There are a lot of dead people in your family! Can't speak human words! ”

Lantern Xiao raised her hands, "Slip of the tongue!" I mean, there are a lot of graves, you understand the spirit! ”

I waited for him to take a look and ignored him.

Lantern Xiao raised his eyes and watched, "What should I do next?" Let's leave that madman alone, what are we supposed to do, it's all here! ”

I nodded, and I had to do it first.

Lantern Xiao raised a flashlight and shone on the surrounding graves, "Hey, which one is your grandfather's?" ”

I took a picture and pointed to one of them and said, "That should be!" With that, I walked over with Lantern Festival.

Although my grandfather's grave is not made of cement or stone, it is still tall and straight, but this is also due to my father and my second uncle, and I think my second uncle may have contributed more.

Lantern Xiao squatted on the ground, illuminated the tombstone in front of the grave with a flashlight, and read softly: "Xiankao Zhuo Gong is the lotus seat of the West of Yunshan Junfu." After reading a short inscription, Lantern Xiao stumbled, and after reading it, he turned his head to look at me, "What do these mean?" I basically can't understand it, is this your grandfather's tombstone? ”

I nodded, "Lantern Festival, just like you, a little earth rake who is still known as the new era!" Put the traditional culture aside, as an inverted bucket, but you can't even understand the inscription, you are a fart! Speaking out makes people laugh out of their big teeth! ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me and blinked her eyes, "Yo, listen to what you mean, do you understand?" ”

I smiled, "You gave me the word 'bei'." Dude teaches you now, remember! I stepped forward and pointed to the tombstone and said, "See, Xian Kao, the test here refers to my father." If it's a mother, use it. And the word Xian is sometimes used first. If the deceased is the most senior in the family, then use the show. If not, use first. ”
