As long as we are human beings, we will never lack curiosity, just more or less.
The villagers hurriedly asked after hearing what the old man said.
"Uncle Wang, what kind of legend is this? Tell us about it."
"Anyway, with the deaf woman and his old man here, no matter how powerful the dirty things are, they can't make a big splash!"
The old man shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and looked around at the mass graves around him.
"Do you think this is the place to talk?"
"Let's go, take the baby back first! Alas..."
After returning to Huwa's home and settling him in, Old Man Wang slowly told the story.
"Besides 'Gou', which village in our area has the most common name?"
After hearing this irrelevant statement, the villagers were stunned.
Then he responded quickly and took the initiative to speak.
"'Zhai', 'camp' or something like that!"
"Dongzhai Village, Xizhai Village, Xinying, and Wangshanying are all named like this."
After hearing this, the old man took a puff of dry cigarette and nodded deeply.
"Then do you know why they are called 'Zhai' or 'Battle'?"
"This..." None of the villagers could answer.
The village names have been passed down from ancestors, and no one has considered their deep meaning.
The old man seemed to have guessed the current scene, so he stopped pretending.
"Our area was a battlefield against the barbarians in ancient times. All dynasties would send soldiers to garrison here."
"The names of the villages and camps are all the names of the garrison."
"When life got better and we stopped fighting, we slowly became villagers."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it...then what does this have to do with the ghost appointment letter, Uncle Wang."
After hearing this, Old Man Wang seemed to be lost in memories, and he replied after a moment.
"The only thing that is bad is the word 'war and chaos'."
"There are so many injustices in troubled times..."
It turns out that three thousand years ago, the Huns were in trouble at that time, so the officials stationed many troops in the northern land.
The two sides have been fighting for years and years.
There is a poem that is well written: the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the destruction of the people is suffering. Especially in times of war.
"I would rather be a dog in prosperous times than a man in troubled times" is the same truth.
At that time, Jiudaogou Village was much more impressive than it is now, and it was not called a village, but Jiudaogou City.
It can be regarded as a fortress to resist the Huns.
The general stationed in the city is named Ruo, and he is different from other military masters.
Not only did they not bully the people in the city, they also provided relief every time there were natural or man-made disasters.
Not only this general, but also the young lady Ruozhao in his residence is like this.
It is a common thing to give up porridge to treat diseases. In his spare time, he will even go around from house to house to share worries and solve problems for the people in the city.
Therefore, Miss Ruozhao was called the Living Bodhisattva by the soldiers and civilians all over the city.
But such a beautiful general's daughter had a more miserable fate than anyone else.
It turned out that when Miss Ruozhao was observing the public sentiment, she happened to meet a down-and-out scholar who had no power to restrain a chicken.
It was an unlucky fate that the general's daughter actually fell in love with a poor boy from a poor family.
Not only did they give him rice, noodles, money and food every time, but even the scholar's old mother with a weird temper took good care of him.
I clean my clothes, hats and long robes myself, and I don’t mind even those who are unable to take care of themselves due to long-term illness in bed to excrete filth.
You must know that this old weirdo is notoriously unruly, and the relationship with the neighbors around her is a mess.
In today's terms, she is a standard shrew, an old shrew who makes no excuses and curses others to cut off their children and grandchildren.
Therefore, even though the general's daughter took such good care of her, she was still sarcastic and would always say that the general's daughter was just for his son's talent.
I think his son will definitely be the top scorer in high school in the future...
Even so, Ruozhao just smiled and didn't explain much.
After waiting for a long time, he made a private decision with the poor scholar Hua Qianyue for the rest of his life.
After the general learned about this matter, he not only did not object but also strongly supported it.
Instead of a betrothal gift, use your own money to prepare a grand wedding for your daughter.
Such a thing is extremely rare even in today's society, let alone the ancient times thousands of years ago, right? !
What's more, at that time, it was more important to be well-matched!
But on the wedding day, something unexpected happened...
