The moment I learned that Aunt Nine had been alive all along, I couldn't believe it.

But if you think about it carefully, centenarians are not rare, especially those who have never been out of the countryside in their lives, and many of them have lived to be 100 years old.

But this ninth aunt can live to be 100 years old, I never expected it.

Not only was I shocked, but Anning was also shocked.

"Old man, when did Xu Xiangu pass away?" I asked the old man.

He said: "The night before yesterday, the person suddenly passed away, in fact, I usually see that she is in good health, she doesn't have any diseases, and she eats a lot, but people who have lived for more than a hundred years suddenly walk normally, and she can be regarded as the end ......of her life."

I couldn't listen to the old man's words at all.

The first thing he said was already a bit silly for me.

The night before the big ...... Isn't that time the time when the seventh master and I enter the construction site!

As soon as the seventh master and I entered the construction site, Aunt Nine hung up!?

"Old man, what time did Xu Xiangu die at night?" I asked again.

The old man said it was eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was exactly eleven o'clock, that is, the sub-hour.

I was dumbfounded again.

At that time, Qi Ye and I were about to come out of the unfinished hotel on the construction site, but before we could get out, Qi Ye let the thunder collapse, and then we fell into the pit and fainted.

Although we didn't look at the time at the time, it should have been around eleven o'clock when we fell into the pit and fainted.

In other words, as soon as we fainted, this ninth aunt died.

My heart trembled, and I asked again: "Old man, these nine ...... Has this Xu Xiangu been buried, why don't you see that there is a white event in the village? ”

The old man said: "I just left the day before yesterday, how can I be buried so quickly, we are here for seven days, Xu Xiangu is a centenarian in our village, and every family has to go to mourn and help take care of the aftermath." ”

"But in this situation in our village, it is not allowed to be too obvious, because next to this scenic spot, we are afraid of affecting the scenic spot and scaring those tourists, so we do white things, all in the place at the end of the village."

"If you want to go and mourn the fairy girl, go to the end of the village."

After that, he pointed us in the direction of the end of the village.

I said thank you to him and got ready to go inside.

Assistant He was with us, but we didn't know how long it would be delayed when we went in, so I asked him to go to the scenic spot first, after all, it was boring.

But Assistant He said that for the sake of safety, he still came with us, and it was also convenient to record what he heard, and he had to show Boss Lin when he went back.

So the three of us went into the village together.

This village is also big enough, and the houses are dense, presumably there are quite a lot of people in the village, but at this time, there are not many people to see, and they should all attend the funeral of Aunt Jiu at the end of the village.

After walking for most of the day, we reached the end of the village.

I saw that a greenhouse was set up at the end of the village, which was used as a mourning hall, and there were indeed many people, men, women and children.

I estimate that the whole village has come to attend the funeral, which shows the seniority and prestige of this ninth aunt in the village.

At this time, there was a place where a lot of people were around, and these people seemed to be following the gold.

After all, we have to inquire about things here, and we have to be more or less casual to make things easier.

So I went with it, and took five hundred pieces of gold.

It's almost noon, which is the legendary feast.

We wandered through the crowd, trying to find someone older to ask.

After turning around for most of the day, I didn't know who to ask for a while, because there were too many elderly people in this village, and all of them looked like they were eighty or ninety years old, but they were all full of energy.

I said in my heart that this is still a longevity village.

At this time, I saw an old man sitting alone outside the crowd, and his expression looked a little sad.

I think he should be Aunt Jiu's family, or someone who has a better relationship with Aunt Jiu, and he looks quite old.

I led An Ning and Assistant He over.

He looked at us from afar, and as he approached, he asked, "You look at your faces, you don't look like those in our village, are you?" ”

I quickly handed over another pack of cigarettes and said that we were here to inquire about something.

"Inquire about something?" He looked at me, "What are you trying to inquire about?" ”

I said I inquired about Xu Xiangu.

"Inquire about my cousin?"

The old man suddenly became a little wary.

And I was surprised.

Aunt Nine is his cousin?

Then his father is not the cousin or cousin of Aunt Jiu.

"That's right, we want to inquire about Luofu a hundred years ago, and Xu Xiangu was also from Luofu back then, I don't know if you have heard of Luofu."

I asked very directly.

Since this old man is a relative of Aunt Jiu, if I lie, it is inevitable that I will be insincere and easily arouse suspicion.

The old man looked at me, not knowing if he was vigilant or thinking about something else.

I took out another five hundred yuan directly from my wallet and handed it to him: "Old man, we are not bad people, we just want to find out some things that happened in Luofu back then, if you know, I hope you can tell us." ”

It was the money that played a role, and the old man took the five hundred yuan and said, "The Luo Mansion you mentioned is a big family in the early Republic of China, and it is in our local area." ”

I nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Xu Xiangu seems to have stayed in Luofu for a long time. ”

The old man also nodded: "This matter was told to me a long time ago when my father was drunk. ”

Assistant He had already taken out the notebook and started recording.

I also pricked up my ears, ready to listen to the old man tell me what was going on back then.

His father and Aunt Nine are cousins, and they must know a lot of things, maybe we can find out all the truth today.

"Back then, in fact, the first to marry into Luofu was my other cousin, this cousin and my cousin who have passed away now, the two of them are sisters."

Hearing the old man's words lifted my spirit.

Sure enough, it was the same as what I and the Seventh Master guessed, the other cousin in the old man's mouth must be the Seventh Aunt!

"My other cousin, named Xu Miao, at that time, our poor family was poor, so poor that we couldn't eat, so my aunt went to the big family's house and worked as a maid for others."

The old man sighed: "At that time, being a maid for others was a current person, and he didn't have the dignity of being a human being, but there was no way, the family was so poor that he couldn't even eat enough." ”

"But being a maid can't earn a few dollars, and it's barely enough for my aunt's house to eat, but one day my aunt suddenly sent back a large sum of money, which scared the family out of their minds, and that money is something that we poor people can't earn in our lives."

"Think about it, just be a maid, where did you get so much money?"

I said in my heart that this old man's chat was too unfocused, and he directly said that this hall aunt flew on the branch and became a phoenix.

I was afraid that if he continued to talk like this, he would be able to talk until it was dark, so I said for him: "You, the aunt of the hall, are you married to the lord of the house and become a wife?" ”
