The grandparents were buried on the hill at the head of the village, which was barren and overgrown with weeds and thorns.

Ruyi and Yuan Liang went up the mountain to worship them, and when they passed by the thorns, they accidentally hooked Ruyi's clothes, and cut through the delicate skin, and their mouths couldn't help but overflow with a "hiss".

Yuan Liang, who was walking in the front, heard the soft muffled snort, turned around, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine." Ru Yi shook his head, it was just that the skin was scratched by thorns, these small injuries are not in the way, just go back and buy some alcohol cotton to wipe it, "Let's keep walking, keep going, and we will reach the grave of my grandparents." ”

In the mountains and forests, a gentle breeze blows, rustling, and occasionally cicadas chirp.

Not long after, the two arrived at the cemetery. Ru Yi took out the incense candles and paper money she bought at the village store to worship her grandparents. After the worship, she took out another piece of incense and candle paper, which she had bought to worship her parents.

Her parents' grave is not far from here, and when her grandparents were there, they always said that after death, they should return to their roots, so they buried their parents in the countryside.

Instead, he came to the grave of Ruyi's parents. Yuan Liang saw that the grave like a small mountain bag was overgrown with weeds, as if no one had cleaned it up for a long time, but there was a cloud of ashes in front of the tombstone, which was very conspicuous and fresh, as if it was left by burning paper money. He pointed to the pile of ashes and said, "Who has come to worship your parents?" ”

Ru Yi also saw the ashes, but she really couldn't think of who would worship her parents at this time, "I just came back and I don't know. Like the custom of our village, they are all Qingming, the middle of July, and the first day of the first month of the first month, and they will come to worship incense, and these days are not important festivals, who will come to worship my parents? ”

Neither of them knew about this question, so they put it aside for the time being. Ru Yi said a lot of hidden words in his heart to the cold tombstone and his parents lying under the nine springs, and he couldn't help but wet his eyes after talking for a long time.

Graves in rural areas are not like those in cities now, with a photograph of the deceased placed in front of the tombstone. The tombstone in the countryside is simply carved out of a single piece of granite with the date of birth and death of the deceased, as well as the children under his knees.

Yuan Liang saw the names of Ru Jianqiang and Lin Qiuli engraved on the tombstone, which should be the names of her parents, who died on the same day, the date of death was May 23, 1994.

It's been 20 years now, and it's not easy to find out!

After the worship, Ruyi and Hara Liang returned down the mountain along the road.

"Miss Ru, do you remember where your parents had an accident?" Yuan Liang came to investigate this time while he was on vacation, so the time was very urgent, and he didn't want to delay even a moment.

Ru Yi turned his head to look at him, thought for a while, and said, "I was young back then, so I don't remember it very clearly. Later, I also heard my grandfather tell me that it seemed that there was a car accident on a road not far from our village, and my father's car crashed into a large truck that came out from the side. ”

Yuan Liang said: "Then can you take me to the scene of the year?" ”

Ruyi nodded, "Yes." ”

The two rushed to the site of the accident in recent years, due to the combination of urban and rural areas in recent years, great changes have taken place here, the road has been widened, the sides are shaded by trees, and the unchanged is still in accordance with the original road expansion.

Yuan Liang surveyed the scene, "You said that your parents' car was driving from the county seat to the village, and when they passed through here, they hit a big truck that came out from the side?" ”
