Chapter 5585 The Truth (Part 2)

Yang Huaming squinted his eyes, his face full of mystery, and his tone became a bit sinister: "I strongly suspect that he went up the mountain to deliberately drive away Xiao An and Dabao, because he wanted to steal Offering!"

"Stealing the offering? How is it possible, he is not a beggar, fourth brother, please stop making noise!" Yang Huazhong immediately rejected Yang Huaming's guess.

Yang Huaming raised his neck, blushed and argued: "Third brother, I am not making a fool of myself. This stealing of the offerings is not just for food. It may be used for other ridiculous things!" 
"How should I say this?" Yang Huazhong asked again, his expression becoming serious again.

Yang Huaming said: "I work as a handyman in a Taoist temple, but I have seen many Taoist priests doing things for people, and one of them mentioned this offering, which seems a bit evil."

"It is said that someone has tasted this offering, and it is obviously out of You put oil and salt in the pot when you put it in the pot, but as long as you put it on the grave and try it again, there will be no taste at all. Yes, this means that it was enjoyed by the ancestors. Yongxian probably stole the offerings and left. As for what he did, I don’t know. Could it be that he took them to Baie Town, crushed them up, and scattered them in the lake to feed the fish. Shrimp, so that the fish and shrimp can grow fatter? "

Yang Huazhong frowned at these absurd speculations.

Sun heard it with interest.

Yang Ruoqing was dubious, and she said to Yang Huazhong: "Dad, if you are worried, we can quietly go into the mountain and visit the graves of several ancestors to see if the offerings are gone."

The cemeteries of our ancestors are all on the mountainside and in the mountains. Almost all the wild beasts in the mountains hibernate during this season. Even the few that do not hibernate are found deep in the mountains.

There are firecrackers outside the mountain, and the wild animals are also afraid. Therefore, if Yang Yongxian had not stolen the offerings placed in front of the grave yesterday morning, they should still be there.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's suggestion, Yang Huazhong looked up at the sky outside again.

"The sun is setting in the west. Are we going to the mountains now?" He hesitated.

Yang Ruoqing nodded and said: "If we want to find out, we have to take action. Otherwise, just sitting here and making ten thousand guesses will be in vain. We dare to go up the mountain after dark, let alone the sun is still shining It’s in heaven!”

Before Yang Huazhong made a decision, Yang Huaming made his decision directly: "Third brother, Qing'er is right. It's better to go and call Yongjin and the others. !”

Yang Ruoqing said: “Fourth uncle, this is the first day of the Lunar New Year. There may be something wrong with me. Don't make too much of a fuss. Call cousin Yongjin, and I'll call Tang Yazi. We'll also go to the mountain quietly, including my father. " 
Yang Huaming nodded and went immediately. Here, Yang Huazhong also went to the backyard to change his shoes.

Yang Ruoqing returned to Luo's house and explained the situation to Luo Fengtang. Luo Fengtang was studying military art in the bedroom. After hearing this, he changed his clothes and followed Yang Ruoqing out the door without saying a word.

Meeting at Yang Huazhong's house, Yang Huazhong, Yang Huaming, Yang Yongjin, plus Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing, the five people went to the mountain.

...

After the five people entered the mountain, they ran straight to the graves of several ancestors of Lao Yang's family.

The cemeteries of several ancestors are almost connected together. They are Lao Yangtou's biological father and his mother (not his biological mother) who raised him.

Not far from his father’s grave is a tomb that was later erected with a monument. It was the grave of Lao Yangtou’s mother.

In addition, not far away there are the graves of Xiao Lao Yangtou's father, Lao Yangtou and Xiao Lao Yangtou's grandparents.

Several people searched around these ancestral graves and found that all the offerings brought by everyone before were there.

"There is nothing missing here. Let's go over there and walk around the graves of the eldest brother and the second brother." Yang Huazhong said.

The five people then walked to the left. There were two tombs standing side by side on the left. The names engraved on the two tombstones were Yang Hualin and Yang respectively.

Inside Yang's tomb is actually a tomb. Because she died of the great plague, her body was burned after her death. Seeing their graves, Yang Ruoqing felt a little heavy.

"Don't be afraid, second brother and sister-in-law. We didn't mean to disturb you. We came here to find evidence that that brat Yongxian did bad things. You can rest in peace!"

I searched around the couple's graves. The offerings were there, and nothing else was out of the ordinary. Yang Huaming clasped his hands and bowed to their tombstones, muttering in his mouth.

"The offerings are all here, let's go to my eldest brother's grave again!" Yang Huazhong suggested, turning around and walking into the dense forest behind him.

Everyone followed.

Yang Hua'an's grave was originally located in the ancestral grave of the old Yang family. Later, Lao Yang found out that there was a geomantic treasure land outside the dense forest called 'Crouching Tiger's Cave', and he said that people were buried in that cemetery. There can be a high-ranking official here.

So Lao Yangtou wasted money and money, and insisted on moving the grave of Yang Hua'an, who was originally resting in peace, to that place.

"My father's grave is no different either. We personally placed these offerings yesterday. I remember them clearly."

Yang Yongjin stood in front of the grave and said solemnly.

Yang Huaming scratched his head: "What's going on? No, how could my judgment be wrong? Didn't he come for the offerings, but buried gold and silver jewelry in the mountains beforehand?" 
Yang Yongjin said: "This is unlikely. If gold, silver and jewelry are really hidden, then he wanted to rent the lake last time. Why didn't he pay for it himself? Do you want me to mortgage the house deed?"

Yang Huaming suddenly said: "Oh, I know, I know what he did."

"Fourth uncle, tell me quickly." Yang Yongjin said.

Yang Huaming pointed to Haitang Academy on the opposite mountainside: "Yongxian used to teach in the academy. Could it be that he hid something in the academy? So he came back to get it secretly this time?"

Everyone was confused.

“How about we go to the school and have a look?”

"It's almost dark, let's go tomorrow!" Yang Huazhong said. After searching all day long, he ran through several graves and found nothing. He was also worried about disturbing his ancestors' rest, so he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. .

Everyone was about to walk down the mountain when Yang Ruoqing suddenly said: "As for the school, I think it is unlikely for two reasons."

"First, from here to the school , separated by a mountain, the big cousin wanted to leave Xiao An and Dabao to go to school, and then go home, it would definitely be dark, and he was with Xiao An and the others. He returned to the village after that, so the range of activities he went up to the mountain yesterday should still be near this cemetery."

"Secondly, I later changed all the keys to the school, so even if he left something in the school. There’s no way to go in and get it.”

Everyone nodded, and someone asked: “What do you think, Qing’er?”

Yang Ruoqing stopped and said, "There is a place that we have all forgotten, and often the truth is most likely to be hidden in the most forgotten place!"

"Where?" Yang Huaming became excited again.

Yang Ruoqing did not say a word, but turned around and raised her hand to point in the northeast direction.

Everyone looked in the direction her finger pointed, thinking of something, and the atmosphere became dull again.
