Chapter 171: The Past of Shuangtang Village

"I went to war, and I didn't come back......"

The old lady sighed leisurely, and wrote a sentence lightly, revealing the most tragic but darkest history of Shuangtang Village.

It was in the 10s of the last century, although the old lady was not born back then, but she had heard about this historical event with her own ears after marrying into Shuangtang Village, and she was also the closest person to that historical event in Shuangtang Village now.

*******,*******?

At that time, there were not many households in Shuangtang Village, ten households, and a total of 14 young and strong men went out with enthusiasm, but none of them came back.

More than half of the families in the village are left with only women and children, old and weak, and they are desperate, but what is desperate is that for one or two years, three or four years, ten or twenty years, no one is alive, no body is dead, and there is not even a person who comes back with a letter.

Among those fourteen people, there were fathers and sons, and there were brothers, and some families were broken off because of this.

Whether to set up spirits for them in the ancestral hall to enjoy the incense of future generations, to comfort the souls of the heroes in the sky, so as not to become lonely ghosts. This question was very noisy at the time, and some people had already accepted the worst outcome, but there were also many people who had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

But as time goes by, more and more people slowly accept it, but because their life and death are unknown, and the environment dictates, they can only hide their spiritual positions in the inner room.

It was also because they couldn't come back that Shuangtang Village also ushered in the darkest period.

In that turbulent society, where the smoke of gunpowder was pervasive, and the future was precarious, after some families in the village were cut off, and some families were left with only women, children, old and weak, some people began to think of being out of households, not only from the village, but also from other villages, and even those who colluded with each other inside and outside the village.

Some women couldn't stand it anymore and took their children back to their parents' homes; Some really can't go, and some are forced to die.

Su Qinghe's father-in-law was also one of the fourteen people, but fortunately, before he left home, Su Qinghe's mother-in-law was pregnant. Unfortunately, there was only one pregnant woman left in the family.

Fortunately, during the period from Su Qinghe's grandfather's birth to the age of seven or eight, the village was relatively peaceful, and he was able to grow up safely. But also because there are only orphans and widows in the family, they are not less bullied by others.

When the limelight was just rising in the village, Su Qinghe's mother-in-law sent money and food, and sent Su Qinghe's grandfather to an old Chinese medicine doctor a few miles away, so that Su Qinghe's grandfather could avoid the disasters in the village and learn the skills to make a living.

And the reason why Grandpa Su Qinghe is respected is not only because he is a doctor, but also because he used his identity as a doctor to unite some young people in the village, and boiled frogs in warm water slowly reversed the bad atmosphere in Shuangtang Village at that time.

It's just that after this catastrophe, only three of the eight families who went out to carry guns to fight still have incense left.

These things were either told to the old lady by the old man, or the old lady heard them from Su Qinghe's mother-in-law.

Up to now, this period of village history, which was boiling at the beginning, has slowly been quietly covered up by the long river of time in the obscure words of the older generation.

Su Qinghe sat beside the old lady and listened word for word, but his heart was full of grief and indignation, but he felt a lot of hard work.

In his memory, Shuangtang Village was where everyone lived in harmony and helped each other, even if there was a quarrel because of something, it was soon resolved satisfactorily and reconciled.

He can even say that he grew up in a good, virtuous environment, and because of this, from their parents' generation to their generation, their peers will unite and help each other.

This is not seen in many of the surrounding villages.

It is also for this reason that when Su Xiaoting was robbed, some people said that someone dared to cause trouble in Shuangtang Village.

It is also for this reason that the temple house is not in Shuangtang Village, but the name of the company is named after Shuangtang.

Bai Zhi was also listening, she didn't care about the changes in Shuangtang Village, she only knew that the fourteen people who died came from eight families, but five of them had broken the incense inheritance.

Such a sad thing should not have happened to them; Nor should their glorious deeds be swept under the rug; Their spiritual tablets should be posted in the outhouse and revered by future generations, rather than hidden in the ancestral hall and covered with dust.

Bai Zhi asked in a sullen voice: "Mother, so much time has passed, so why don't you post their tablets in the outer room of the ancestral hall, but still in the inner room?" ”

The old lady sighed again, "Those who do evil will not agree. Being able to stand in the back house is already the best result of a compromise between the two sides. Being too tough will only backfire. Especially in the overkill environment at that time, no one would care how they died, only knew that it was not a boss, and rashly making it public would only cause trouble. ”

Bai Zhi opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

However, Su Qinghe spoke, "Mother, it's been so long now, and the group of people who did evil at the beginning are all gone, right?" ”

Seeing the old lady nodding, Su Qinghe continued: "Then what are you worried about now, you also said it, there is my ancestor there!" ”

"It is enough to have descendants to provide them with an incense, whether it is in the inner room or the outer room, it is just an ancestral hall. If you want to invite them out, then some people will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and Shuangtang Village has finally had the current unity situation, so why bother to regenerate gaps? Thinking that they are in the heavenly spirits, they don't want to see such a thing happen again. ”

The old lady's words made Su Qinghe have mixed feelings again, he didn't know if this was the best result, but he felt very uncomfortable, but he felt that what the old lady said had a certain truth.

"Okay, I'll tell you what you want to know, don't think too much! It's not too early, Ah He, it's time for you to cook, you've delayed me so much, I have to go and play with you! The old lady propped herself on her knees, got up slowly, and went back into the house.

Su Qinghe and Bai Zhi looked at each other, Su Qinghe shook his head slightly, also stood up and patted his buttocks, and walked to the kitchen.

The old lady is not wrong in saying that the ancestral hall is just an ancestral hall, but that's all.

I don't know what kind of battle they fought outside, and where they died.

……

Su Wenbiao is here.

Wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, he walked into Su Qinghe's house with a basketball.

The high school he attended was in the county, and it was also one of the best century-old schools in the entire industry and the city.

As soon as he arrived, the old lady smiled and asked knowingly, "Ah Biao is going back to school?" ”

Su Wenbiao nodded and looked at Su Xiaoting, "Tingting, I'll put the basketball here for you, you can usually play." ”

Su Xiaoting's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

"Really, but you're going to bring it back to me when I get back!" After Su Wenbiao came out, he suddenly remembered that Su Xiaoting asked him to borrow a basketball the day before yesterday, so he turned back and took out the basketball.

As soon as the holiday is over, Su Xiaoting can only play with Xiao obediently in the village, and she can relieve her boredom by putting the basketball here.

After handing over the basketball to Su Xiaoting, Su Wenbiao left, and the old lady didn't keep it, after all, going to school was important, and Su Wenbiao had to wait for the shuttle.

"Sister, look at me!" After Su Wenbiao left, Su Xiaoting was slapping the basketball in the house and showing off her skills with the little girl.

Seeing this big, round thing bouncing and making a pampa sound, the little guy was immediately interested......
