Chapter 7921 Past Events in the Barren Grave

With the support of so many people at once, Yang Huaming’s enthusiasm that had been extinguished by Old Yangtou revived again.

He stopped standing, dragged a stool to the middle of the room, sat down, cleared his throat, and adjusted his state to the maximum like a corner actor about to take the stage. Jia, then he told everyone about the news obtained from Mr. Liu.

“My family member said that there was a woman buried in that grave. That woman was a miserable person. She was not married when she died. She was an innocent girl.”

“ Because he is not married, he naturally has no descendants. There is only one younger brother in the family, and the younger brother later went to make a living in another country. "

"In the early years, my younger brother came to burn incense and offer sacrifices to her. Later, he hasn't been here for more than ten years. I don't know if he is too old to walk or if he is no longer alive. Anyway, the tomb has gradually become deserted. Grave.”

“No one has maintained it for more than ten years, exposed to the sun and rain. The top of the tomb was also washed away by the rain, and it was gradually smoothed away from the outside. This is also an important reason why we have not paid much attention to it in recent years. "

Yang Huaming said this, for the time being. He paused because he wanted to give everyone time to digest.

Sure enough, the people in the room had different expressions, some were surprised, some were confused, some were recalling, some were thinking...

For brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming, the year of this incident was a long time ago. , maybe they were not born at that time, so the two brothers could only leave the memory investigation task to the five village elders and Lao Yangtou.

The five village elders thought about it for a long time, whispering to each other, and named several suspects. Finally, they all rejected and eliminated them one by one. After a round of discussion, they returned to the starting point.

“We really can’t figure out whose family it belongs to,” said the leader of the village.

“It is said that the earliest ancestors of our village were two brothers who fled from Fujian. After they settled here, they married local girls and spread their business. It took many generations to spread to what it is today. This is a large village of nearly two hundred households.”

“Such a large village has gone through so much. In ancient times, there were many young girls and young wives buried in the mountains. Trying to investigate just this one would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

Lao Yangtou asked the village elder, "Fourth, are there any others? Clues? For example, about the siblings? What are the names of the descendants in the family? "

Yang Huaming has been waiting here for a long time, which is another meaning of his previous deliberate pause.

To shake off the baggage, you have to shake it off one after another, so that these old men can go through emotional twists and turns when deliberating on this matter. Only twists and turns are interesting, and straight to the point loses a bit of flavor.

So Yang Huaming smacked his mouth a few times, frowned and said: "There should be some, everyone, please be quiet and let me think about it first!"

Think, use It's the brain.

However, he leaned back comfortably and crossed his legs.

Seeing the way he was taking advantage of Joe, Old Yangtou's eyes narrowed.

As an old man, he knows better than anyone what kind of moral character his son is.

However, due to the presence of these five village elders, Old Yangtou held back his attack for the time being, but waited patiently.

Fortunately, Yang Huaming had a sense of proportion and did not think about it for too long, so he continued: "Although I haven't found out the names of the siblings and the descendants of the younger brother's family, it is said that the siblings are all They were poor people. They lost their father when they were young, and it was their widowed mother who helped them grow up. "My sister seemed to have died when she was fifteen or sixteen. When she went digging in the mountains, she hit her foot with an iron rake, and she died of pain..."


"Oops, maybe I don't know!" Old Yang suddenly slapped his thigh, interrupting Yang Huaming's words.

"Dad, what do you know?" Yang Huazhong asked quickly.

The five village elders all turned their attention to Old Yangtou, and the focus of Yang Huaming was instantly transferred.

Old Yangtou didn't have as many 'showy' ideas as Yang Huaming. He sat upright and poured out the bamboo tube he knew he knew as beans with a serious look on his face.

"I recognize those siblings, but you don't recognize them. Let me just say this. If that sister had not died, she would be five or six years older than me by now."

The five village elders present looked at each other. Calculating this, the grave owner was fifteen or sixteen years older than them. So when she died, they were not even born yet. No wonder they couldn't remember it even after racking their brains. There are so many people.

"I was just in my teens when this happened, so I have an impression." Old Yangtou continued.

“It happened in the summer of that year. That summer was extremely hot. There was no rain in our area for two months, and the crops in the fields all withered...”

"The bark of the trees on the mountain has not been gnawed clean. I don't know who came back and said that there is a kind of Guanyin soil on the shady side of the hillside that can fill your stomach. People from eight villages ten miles away swarmed to the mountain. "I went there day and night to dig the Guanyin soil."

"That sister was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time. In the eyes of us children, she was probably the most beautiful girl in the village at that time. , wearing two braided braids, went to the pond to fetch water like a man, with a willow-like waist carrying so much water, many people felt distressed when they saw it. ”

"When she went to the pond at the entrance of the village to wash herself, she tied her two or three-year-old brother on her back."

"That year there was drought and famine, and many people starved to death. She also went to dig Guanyin soil in the mountains. . ”

“Actually, it wasn’t her who dug the hoe into her feet, she was Zhuang. How could the old man dig his feet in the field? It’s because of her brother.”

“Dad, what’s wrong with her brother? It’s impossible for a two- or three-year-old child to hold a hoe. Poaching his sister?”

Yang Huaming, who had been robbed of the spotlight, asked with a corner of his lips.

Lao Yangtou shook his head, "Of course not, it was during the intermission. The hoe was put aside. Her brother was running around naughtily and almost fell on his face on the hoe. The sister used her own body to make a meat mat for him. , As a result, the ankle was pressed against the hoe, causing such a long gash."

Old Yang raised his hand and gestured.

Everyone gasped when they saw this.

Old Yangtou sighed and continued: "There is only one widow in their family, the most aggressive one in the eight villages in ten miles and eight, the most patriarchal, and she is thinking about keeping it for her son at every straw. I feel that my son is the queen and my daughter is an outsider. Spending an extra penny on my daughter is just in vain. Everyone tried to persuade her to send her to the town hospital, but she was not only ungrateful, but also kicked out those who said nice things. "

"The widow used local methods to stop her daughter's bleeding at home. He used his saliva mixed with the dirt from the latrine to cover her daughter's wounds, saying that he could fight poison with poison."
