85. Returning Home (3)
After three turns and two circles, the group followed Feng Ziming to the center of the village, which was supposed to be the clan ancestral hall and the meeting square, but now, on top of that clearing, a high mound of earth was raised. A stone tablet in front of the mound, with the words "Tomb of the Feng Clan" written on it, the handwriting and the stele itself are very scribbled, obviously the people who made the tombstone did not bother much here - originally, the army is doing things, it would be good to be able to set up a stele, and it is purely too much to expect to carve something.
Although Feng Ziming didn't dare to come back over the years, he still asked some people in the military to inquire about the news here, so he knew the pattern here. At this time, when I saw this big tomb, I couldn't help but cry, grabbed a few steps, knelt down in front of the grave again, and wept bitterly.
Huang Xin silently stepped forward to place the incense and candle offerings, and then knelt down beside her husband as the daughter-in-law of the Feng family. Huang Chang, Huang Xu, and Huang Zhao were outsiders, but they all lowered their heads at this moment and mourned silently, just as they had done in front of Feng's father's tomb before.
And Feng Ziming knelt down for a long time, and muttered to himself in front of the tomb, as if he wanted to tell his mother, brothers and sisters, and many relatives and friends the words he had accumulated over the years. He was nervous and scared when he was outside, but after entering the village, he was normal, and everything behaved as usual. It's just that at this time, something strange finally appeared - Huang Chang and the other three had already finished their silent mourning, and even Huang Xin was helped up later, but Feng Ziming still couldn't kneel for a long time, caressing the tombstone, and muttering endlessly.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the surrounding environment was becoming more and more difficult to distinguish, Huang Xu's face gradually became anxious, and he opened his mouth several times to speak, but when he saw that Huang Chang was still standing there calmly and without moving, he also forbearably did not speak. As for Huang Zhao, although he didn't speak, he was unconsciously getting closer and closer to Huang Chang, and he quietly pulled the third brother's sleeve, finally revealing the timidity that a little girl should have.
Finally, when Feng Ziming woke up from his memories, he stood up tremblingly holding the tombstone, but he was stunned when he saw the sky:
"It's getting dark...... Let's go back. β
Everyone else naturally agreed, so the group walked outside the village again, and when they walked on the road, Feng Ziming said to Huang Xin with some regret:
"It's getting dark so fast, I wanted to take you to our old house to have a look. β
But Huang Xin responded very considerately:
"If Brother Ming is willing, you might as well go there and stay for the night. β
Feng Ziming was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly:
"There's definitely no way to live there. β
However, Huang Xin said in a low voice:
"It's just one night, since I married into the Feng family, I should always stay in the Feng family for one night. β
Hearing his wife say this, Feng Ziming stopped and seemed to really start thinking about this possibility. Huang Xu next to him finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded in a low voice:
"It's been so long, I'm afraid it's not very clean. β
Feng Ziming didn't seem to understand Huang Xu's pun, but he didn't make a decision directly, but looked at Huang Chang. The latter still looked indifferent, and smiled calmly:
"Since my brother-in-law is here, let's relax and do everything I want to do, and don't leave any regrets. β
ββFor Huang Chang, the fundamental goal of this trip to Fengjiazhuang is to treat Feng Ziming's illness, which is naturally to do everything according to his ideas, in order to relieve his psychological pressure to the greatest extent. As for security, you can be sure of everything anyway.
With Huang Chang's words, everyone was relieved. So a few people followed Feng Ziming around the village, and soon came to a large mansion. The Feng family was also one of the largest households in this village, with a large population and a large house. Although many have collapsed, it is not difficult to find a few houses that are relatively intact and have roofs and walls.
In this kind of place, they did not dare to separate, and finally found two relatively intact adjacent houses in a side courtyard. Anyway, it's only one night, and they're all relatives, so it's not a big problem for everyone to squeeze in. So he let Feng Ziming and Huang Xin have a room, and the three brothers and sisters of the Huang family have a room - there is no need to pay attention to any male and female defense between brothers and sisters, and Huang Zhao wants to be a chivalrous woman, and he will walk the rivers and lakes in the future, and even the Chase Shop in the hostel will have to make do when the conditions are poor. Now living in the same room with her two brothers can be regarded as getting used to it in advance.
By this time it was already dark, and a few people lit torches in the courtyard and swept away some of the floating bird droppings. The old furniture in the house had long since decayed, and they could only find some sturdy planks to put on the floor, and make temporary beds out of the bedding rolls they had brought with them, and finally settled down.
Although there is a small kitchen in the yard, it is naturally impossible to use it, and everyone can only eat some dry food. After many years, when he finally returned to his home, Feng Ziming's interest was very high, and he couldn't help but stand in the yard when he was eating, pointing everywhere. Tell my wife Huang Xin which side is the main hall, which side is the study house, and which side is my childhood residence......
The two siblings, Huang Chang, Huang Chang, and Huang Zhao, stood on the other side, facing in a certain direction, muttering to each other in a low voice.
"Third brother, I see that the black clouds are full of black clouds over there, and I feel that the fierce aura is very heavy, and it looks like a demon, I'm afraid it is the location of the ancient tomb where the accident happened back then?"
Huang Xu studied the "Sword Sealing Demon Scroll" during this time, after all, he still had some experience, and at this time, he looked up at the momentum of the surrounding sky, and he actually saw something.
β...... Where's it, where is it? Why can't I see it!"
Since it was intended to be used as the Huang family's family tradition, Huang Zhao naturally learned it with Huang Xu when she was studying, but she had not yet advanced to the congenital level. And "Sword Sealing Demon Scroll" is a top-level martial arts technique, and many of the contents are not innate martial artists who can't understand it at all. Therefore, she is very shallow in learning, and she is not willing to work hard, so her income is naturally more limited. At this time, he looked around stupidly, even if he looked in the direction pointed by Huang Xu for a long time, he still found nothing, and couldn't help frowning:
"Didn't you say that it had subsided back then? All the demons and ghosts have been eliminated, how can there still be a fierce spirit?"
"Because this is a spiritual world, demons and monsters, in fact, just like us, are also part of this heaven and earth. As long as the conditions are right, nature will continue to grow - the ancient tomb itself is in a place of great evil, and it is actually a natural place to raise corpses. After thousands of years of yin qi precipitation, a very powerful white zombie was produced. Even if it is removed now, as long as the environment over there remains unchanged, the feng shui is still the same, and some 'new things' are regenerated, but there is nothing strange about it. β
